Problems solved by technology

One problem is that in some cases, the goal of making the control unit small and easy to use becomes in conflict with the goal of designing the control unit to be able to send out a large number of different control signals, forcing manufacturers to compromise
One inconvenience of the solution shown however is that the feeling of using separate keys is lost and the user has to be very careful to ensure that the fingers hit the desired fingering
Another inconvenience: the input screen has to be a touchscreen type that is considered less robust than a traditional keyboard

Embodiment Construction

[0028] exist Figure 1 to Figure 3 In , examples of apparatus for which the invention is useful and advantageous are generally illustrated. exist figure 1 In , a computer 11 is schematically illustrated, equipped with a display 12 in the form of a screen. A keyboard 13 is arranged as a user interface, which is used as a control unit of the computer. Furthermore, the keyboard is arranged in a known manner with a plurality of data input devices in the form of keys 14 . The user sends the control data to the keyboard by pressing the key, so that the control signal is sent from the keyboard in the figure to the computer. The communication link may be wired or wireless. In the computer there are interpretation means comprising a computer program designed to decode the control signals, thereby interpreting which action or measure has been commanded by the user.

Abstract

A system for controlling an apparatus (11, 21, 31), which system comprises a control unit (13, 23, 33) adapted to transfer control signals to the apparatus dependent on the control data. Said control unit comprises data input means (14, 24, 34, 44) to input said control data, and said apparatus comprises interpreting means adapted to translate said control signal into an action. Aiming to indicate for a user of the control unit, which action the apparatus is arranged to take when activating the data input means, a visual indicator is arranged on said data input means. The invention is characterized in that said data input means comprises a variable presentation means (45, 57), arranged to realise said indicator, wherein said control unit comprises a first storage means (53) adapted to store the visual data presentable with said presentation unit. Preferably, said control unit comprises several separate data input means, each provided with a presentation means, in which each presentation means comprises separate displays, arranged to present a picture dependent on said visual data.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention patent application with an international filing date of June 6, 2001, an application number of 01813205.7, and an invention title of "control unit with a variable visual indicator". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a control unit installed with a data input device, the control unit being designed to send control signals dependent on the activation of said data input device. More precisely, the invention relates to a control unit in which said data input means are designed as variable visual indicator means. Background technique [0003] A large number of electronic devices are used every day, and these devices often require control signals. Dedicated control units are often used for this purpose. Examples of such control units are computer keyboards, remote controls for televisions, stereo recorders or other electronic devices, keys on mobile phones and calculators, and the like. Therefore...
