    摘要: A touch-sensitive input device has an exposed, continuous surface defining a planar area, and a grid of sense elements coextensive with the area of the exposed surface and responsive to engagement of the exposed surface by an operator to establish a position of said engagement of the exposed surface. The exposed surface varies in elevation across its planar area to form a series of tactile features. The exposed, continuous surface is affixed to the grid of sense elements. An electronic circuit is configured to interpret large-scale capacitance variations of the grid as an intended input small-scale capacitance variations of the grid as a position of engagement of the exposed surface by the operator.

    摘要: Predetermined particular sounds and/or messages are assigned separately to a plurality of keys, respectively, and the assigned particular sounds and/or messages are generated and outputted in response to the touch to predetermined keys. Predetermined sounds and/or messages are assigned to a key group having a plurality of keys, and the assigned particular sounds and/or messages are generated and outputted in response to the touch to keys, respectively, in the key group. Predetermined particular sounds and/or messages are assigned to erroneous touch operations, respectively, with respect to predetermined keys, and the assigned sounds and/or messages are generated and outputted in response to the erroneous touch operations, respectively. The error touch operations are classified into a plurality of levels according to the gravity of the errors, the predetermined particular sounds and/or messages being assigned to the error gravity levels, respectively, and the assigned particular sounds and/or messages are generated and outputted in response to the error touch operation levels.

    摘要: A keypad assembly comprising a substrate, a membrane, and a logic component. The substrate has at least one set of electrical contact points that comprise a first, second, and a third conductive electric-contact area. The membrane comprises domed elements having a conductive elements fixedly attached thereto. Each conductive element is configured to interface with one or more of the electrical contact points with a soft press and a hard press. The logic component is in operative communication with the substrate and the membrane. The logic component is configured to distinguish between the soft press and the hard press.

    摘要: A method improves data entry in keypads, and a keypad system incorporates the method. To allow miniaturisation of handsets below the limit where accurate character selection could otherwise be assured, the method applies keys which are in fact multiple position switches. Each key on a keypad can be operated between any of three positions. Placing the key in an nullupnull position corresponds to a nulldefaultnull or nullcancel previous key pressnull action. Placing the key in the nullintermediatenull position corresponds to a user presentation mode whereby the display shows a group of possible data entry options. Placing the key in the nulldownnull position corresponds to a selection mode whereby the display shows that a tentative data entry has been accepted by the user.

    摘要: A pushbutton user interface enables a user to preview the effect of activating a pushbutton of the interface before the pushbutton is activated. The pushbutton user interface can be implemented so that an input (preview input) to the pushbutton that does not produce an activation of the pushbutton is sensed and, in response to the sensed input, a preview is displayed that indicates the effect of activating the pushbutton. The preview input can be sensed using, for example, a force-sensitive resistor, potentiometer or strain gauge. The preview display can include, for example, a visual display, an audio display, a haptic display, or a combination of two or three such displays. The pushbutton user interface can be implemented so that the preview input and an activation input (i.e., an input that produces an activation of the pushbutton) are sensed as a result of an input to the pushbutton along the same axis or along different (e.g., orthogonal) axes.
