Embodiment Construction

[0103] In an embodiment of a user's device (controller) for interacting with a computer system (such as, but not limited to, a game controller), the computer system includes:

[0104] Multiple "axis" controllers such as joysticks and buttons / keys and / or touch areas on the surface of the controller in a layout typically allow multiple controllers to be manipulated / operated simultaneously by different fingers that are specific to (specific) hold posture / gesture (e.g. two hands on joystick, thumb on joystick / keyboard), this handle takes into account the "standard / normal" (by design) gestures for that controller ( hand / finger posture).

[0105] Touch-sensitive areas (such as but not limited to touchpads, touchscreens) located on the surface of the handheld / wearable device or hinged to the handheld / wearable device, when the user's hands / fingers enter, "Normal / standard" (game controller) manipulation gestures / (hand / finger gestures) - such as the thumb "on the controller" (e.g. joys...

Abstract

A methods and apparatus of hand based "hybrid" input (human computer interface) allowing compact, efficient, even single-handed operable symbol and character input methods that do not rely on vision and utilizing skills user already have. Also about a new kind of dynamic / shape-transformable human-machine interaction means (methods and apparatus / controllers) ~ Variable Geometry hand-based controller, for providing on-demand, (Ergonometric and) change-able (transformable) interface for user's hand to interact with, thus provide more flexible / versatile way of interaction and possibly simulating (including the user experience) a variety of (hand-based) controllers / devices, so that user can have more than one way of interaction without need to switch to other controllers.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Applications Serial Nos. 62 / 191528 and 62 / 210413, filed July 13, 2015, and August 26, 2015, respectively, the entire disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference technical field [0003] This invention relates to hand-based "hybrid" input devices (human-machine interfaces), and more particularly to compact, one-handed operable symbol and character input methods that allow the use of skills already acquired by the user without relying on vision Methods and Apparatus. [0004] Also discussed here is a novel dynamic / deformable human-computer interaction device (method and device / controller), more precisely, involving variable geometry hand-based controllers for providing on-demand ( Ergonomic and) changeable interfaces for users to interact with their hands, thus providing more flexible / variety of interaction styles and possibly simulating various (ha...
