Information sending device

Abstract

The present invention relates to an information sending device which can transmit plentiful information through one-hand operations. The information sending device (1) comprises a three-dimension shaped holding frame body (2) that can be held by one hand of a user; a plurality of operation parts (3a, 3b) which have a finger support surface (31) for providing a placement for a specific finger of a hand and which are respectively installed on the external surface of the holding frame body in a mode that the reciprocal deflection along the direction of the external surface of the holding frame body can be performed by using the operations of the finger; and a unit for detecting each reciprocal deflection of a plurality of operation parts, converting the reciprocal deflections into corresponding electrical signals and sending the electrical signals to the outside.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information transmission device having a transmission function for transmitting information output by finger manipulation. Background technique [0002] There are various types of relatively small information transmission devices that input information by manual operation and transmit the information to a predetermined processing device or external equipment by wire or wirelessly. Since it is relatively small, it is possible to hold and operate the whole device with both hands or one hand, and if it is a wireless transmission type, it can be easily carried and used. For example, remote controls for radio controllers, game consoles, home appliances, and the like are well known. If we only focus on the input function using manual operation and capture it widely, mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), computers of the size placed on the palm, etc. can also be said to be such information transmission devices...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0010] As shown in Patent Document 1, the type that requires two-handed operation cannot perform other operations due to the occupation of both hands.

Also, generally two-handed models are bulkier than one-handed devices, making them inconvenient to carry

[0011] The one-handed controller disclosed in Patent Document 2 has keys arranged within the operable range, but since one finger must be used for a plurality of keys, it is necessary to frequently move the finger from one key to another

As a result, a high degree of operation skills is required, and the fatigue of the operator is also increased.

[0012] In addition, in Patent Documents 2 and 3, one key is used as a push button switch, so only two value information ("ON" or "OFF") can be input with one key, and three values ​​cannot be input with one key. The above information or continuous information

[0013] And, with regard to the existing one-hand operation type device, in the occasion of having considered the operability of the key arrangement according to the positional relationship between the thumb and other fingers, most of them are made to be used exclusively for the right hand or left hand, and there is no A device that can be operated equally with the right and left hands

[0014] In addition, in a one-handed operation type device used as a hand-held device, since it is necessary to support the device itself while operating with fingers for transmission, several fingers have to be used for device support, and it is difficult to use all fingers to support the device. sending of information
