Embodiment Construction

[0017] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a multi-purpose adjustable / programmable keyboard (MPAK) is provided, which provides a user-configurable interface for interacting with a computing platform. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the MPAK includes a micro switch matrix (MMS) coupled to an interactive module (IM). IM functions as a user-configurable surface, on which marks of data input elements, such as numbers, letters, icons, logos, etc., are displayed. The MMS is coupled to the IM in such a way that it not only detects the physical contact between the user and the IM, but also identifies the area or point of contact between the user and the MMS. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention described more fully below, a piezoelectric sheet combining a plurality of piezoelectric elements is used to detect the pressure applied to the MMS caused by the interaction between the user and the MMS, and provide the user with Haptic feedback ...

Abstract

A keyboard device formed of a generally planar interaction module having first and second sides, comprising a plurality of input indicia displayed on a first side, a matrix of micro-switchers coupled to the second side of the interaction module formed of a generally planar first electrode sheet having a first plurality of generally parallel conductive traces each separated by one of a first plurality of insulation traces on a first side of the first generally planar electrode sheet, and a generally planar second electrode sheet having a second plurality of generally parallel conductive traces each separated by one of a second plurality of insulation traces on a first side of the second generally planar electrode sheet, and a generally planar piezo sheet having a first side coupled to the first side of the generally planar first electrode sheet and a second side coupled to the first side of the generally planar second electrode sheet.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to configurable devices for entering data into computing devices. Background technique [0002] The human-computing platform (CP) interface has challenged system designers for more than a decade. Despite the rapid development of many computing platforms that require user interaction and data input, the most commonly used interface component-the mouse-has been invented 30 years ago and has been very small. The success of the mouse is largely due to the multiple options and possible ways in which the mouse can be configured, as well as the easy operation of the mouse by the user. [0003] In addition to the proven use of a mouse as a user interaction device with a computer, a keyboard for inputting text data and the like is required. Different application platforms require different keyboard sizes, key positions, and performance. In addition, because different users have different interface requirements, the optimal con...
