Abstract: A contact device typically embodied in a finger stylus is part of an overall input system for computer touch screens. Said contact device comprises a generally short, firm extension element having a distal end for establishing brief but discrete contact with the computer touch screen and is to be used, for instance, for making choices in a list of options appearing on a computer screen, sometimes in alternate combination with input from traditional keyboard typing or mouse usage. In operation, the user can position her hands over the keyboard in the usual manner and make both keyboard and touch screen inputs alternately without removing her eyes—or her focus—from the computer screen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a finger-worn input device, which comprises a movement detecting unit, a main controller and a connection structure. After being assembled, users can insert their finger in between the movement detecting unit and the main controller in order to move the movement detecting unit and to press a key. The main controller receives a movement signal and a key signal, converts these signals into a computer control signal, which is then transmitted to a computer for further process through a wired or wireless transmission method. By using the finger-worn input device with the structure mentioned above, the user usage is more convenient and the input device can be minimized. In addition, the present invention also discloses an input method applying the finger-worn input device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a remote input method using a fingerprint recognition sensor. A main device activates a fingerprint input mode according to a user's request, and displays a key input unit, menu images and an indicator corresponding to the fingerprint input mode. A remote input device having the fingerprint recognition sensor generates fingerprint data corresponding to the finger touching method in real time, and sends the generated fingerprint data to the main device through a short range wireless communication module. When receiving the fingerprint data, the main device analyzes the type of fingerprint included in the fingerprint data based on the previously stored fingerprint information. The main device also analyzes the user input pattern according to the type of fingerprint and the fingerprint data reception type. Consequently, the main device implements a preset function corresponding to the analyzed user input pattern. The user can control various functions available in the main device using the remote input unit.

Abstract: Input for controlling an application is provided to a computer system having an interactive display surface with an optical vision system for sensing objects. An optical code selected to be detectable by the interactive display surface when positioned adjacent to the interactive display surface is associated with a control function. The optical code is provided on an article configured to be removably affixed to at least a portion of a user's hand. When the portion of the user's hand is moved to a position adjacent to the interactive display surface, the optical vision system detects the optical code and invokes the control function associated with the optical code. Thus, a user can provide input to the interactive display surface with movements of the user's hand. A different optical code may be affixed to each digit of the user's hand, enabling the user to selectively invoke a plurality of control functions.
