Problems solved by technology

Such a device requires a separate support surface and still takes up a lot of space during operation like the traditional full-sized keyboard shown, and the user still needs two hands to efficiently enter data into the device
Additionally, laser projectors require relatively high power consumption
Thus, this virtual keyboard does not always work well in a mobile environment

Embodiment Construction

[0110] In general, as described above, the present invention provides an apparatus and method for determining a symbol or function input by a user. The present invention provides a computer-implemented data input device having an associated memory for storing information associating symbols or functions with corresponding key regions of the data input device. In the memory, the symbols or functions associated with the individual key areas are assigned to the corresponding input objects. The key area of ​​a data input device may take various forms, such as keys on a keyboard, touch-sensitive areas, virtual key areas with pre-assigned areas in two-dimensional space, or virtual keys with assigned areas in three-dimensional space area. The input object can be any object that can be used to tap or actuate the key area, for example: one or more fingers of the user's hand, a part of a finger, an actuation device (such as a stylus or tablet pen), or an actuation device. part. Such ...

Abstract

An apparatus and method of inputting data for an electronic data entry device are provided. In one embodiment, main keys on a keyboard of a device are used in which the main keys have multiple symbols or functions associated therewith, and one or more assisting keys of the device are used to select between the symbols or functions on the main keys. In a further embodiment, identification of an input object such as the particular fingers of a user that are used to actuate a key region is performed. The symbol associated with the actuated key region and the finger (or other input object) used is determined. Various types of sensors and recognition technology are implemented in order to identify fingers (or other input objects) in various embodiments.
