Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tastatur zur Eingabe von Daten und/oder Steuerbefehlen in einen Computer.The invention relates to a keyboard for entering data and / or Control commands into a computer.
Derartige Tastaturen sind als Eingabeschnittstelle an Computern allgemein bekannt. Ferner ist es bekannt, Befehle und/oder Daten akustisch in Form von Sprache über ein Mikrophon in den Computer einzugeben. Die so aufgenommenen Sprachbefehle des Benutzers sind durch entsprechende Software in analoge Eingangssignale umwandelbar.Such keyboards are common as an input interface on computers known. It is also known to process commands and / or data acoustically in the form of Enter speech into the computer via a microphone. The so Recorded voice commands from the user are by appropriate Software convertible into analog input signals.
Das Mikrofon wird mit einem Ständer als Tischausführung oder als sogenanntes Headset in Kombination mit einem Kopfhörer zusätzlich an den Computer angeschlossen, so daß weitere zusätzliche Teile benötigt werden, die auch zusätzliche Kosten verursachen.The microphone comes with a stand as a table version or as so-called headset in combination with a headphone to the Computer connected, so that additional additional parts are needed also cause additional costs.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine konstruktiv einfache, preiswert herzustellende und leicht handhabbare Tastatur der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die die Eingabe von Sprachbefehlen in den Computer ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore a structurally simple, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to use keyboard of the type mentioned create that enables the input of voice commands into the computer.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Tastatur nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Wesentlich ist dabei, daß die Tastatur ein Mikrofon aufweist, das vorzugsweise in das Gehäuse der Tastatur integriert ist.This object is achieved by a keyboard according to claim 1 solved. It is essential that the keyboard has a microphone that is preferably integrated into the housing of the keyboard.
Auf diese Weise ist die Eingabe von Sprachbefehlen in die Tastatur möglich, wobei auf weitere zusätzliche Bauteile wie Ständer, Kopfhörer und/oder zusätzliche Anschlußkabel verzichtet werden kann. Das spart nicht nur Kosten ein, sondern es entfallen auch zusätzliche Anschlußarbeiten, so daß Fehler beim Anschließen eines zusätzlichen Mikrofonkabels ausgeschlossen sind. Die Tastatur ist somit nicht nur leicht handzuhaben, sondern auch einfach in der Konstruktion und kostengünstig in der Herstellung.In this way it is possible to enter voice commands on the keyboard, with additional components such as stands, headphones and / or additional connection cables can be dispensed with. This not only saves costs one, but it also eliminates additional connection work, so that errors when connecting an additional microphone cable are excluded. The Keyboard is not only easy to use, but also easy to use Construction and inexpensive to manufacture.
Ein besonders günstiger Ort zum Anbringen des Mikrofons ist oberhalb der Tasten in dem oberen Randbereich der Tastatur. Hier ist ein Verdecken des Mikrofons durch die Hände des Benutzers und somit eine ungenaue Aufnahme der Sprachbefehle nahezu ausgeschlossen.A particularly convenient place to attach the microphone is above Keys in the upper edge of the keyboard. Here is hiding the Microphones through the hands of the user and therefore an inaccurate recording the voice commands almost impossible.
Eine besonders sichere Aufnahme der Sprachbefehle kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß mindestens ein weiteres Mikrofon und eine Elektronik zur Reduzierung der Umgebungsgeräusche in das Gehäuse der Tastatur integriert ist. Derartige elektronische Schaltungen sind an sich bekannt.A particularly secure recording of the voice commands can be achieved in this way be that at least one other microphone and electronics for Reduction of ambient noise integrated into the keyboard housing is. Such electronic circuits are known per se.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es außerdem, wenn an dem bzw. an den Mikrofon(en) Lamellen zur Bündelung der Schallwellen angeordnet sind. Derartige akustische Linsen sind von Lautsprechern bekannt.It is also particularly advantageous if on the microphone (s) Slats for bundling the sound waves are arranged. Such Acoustic lenses are known from loudspeakers.
Günstig ist es ferner, wenn ein Lautsprecher in das Gehäuse der Tastatur integriert ist. Auf diese Weise sind bestimmte akustische Effekte erzielbar, die mit einem in den Computer eingebauten oder bei dem Bildschirm plazierten Lautsprechern nicht erreicht werden können.It is also advantageous if a loudspeaker in the housing of the keyboard is integrated. In this way, certain acoustic effects can be achieved with one built into the computer or placed on the screen Speakers cannot be reached.
Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Tastatur kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß einzelne Teile der Tastatur die Resonanzfläche für ein Mikrophon oder für den Lautsprecher bilden. Auf diese Weise kann die Tastatur als hermetisch abgedichtetes Gehäuse ausgeführt sein, was den Einsatz in spritzwassergefährdeten Bereichen oder in explosionsgefährdeten Sicherheitsbereichen, insbesondere im Untertagebergbau problemlos ermöglicht. Außerdem ist diese Ausführungsform kostengünstig, da separate Teile wie das Mikrofon entbehrlich sind.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the keyboard can thereby be achieved that individual parts of the keyboard the resonance area for a Make microphone or for the speaker. This way the keyboard be designed as a hermetically sealed housing, which can be used in splashing areas or explosive areas Security areas, especially in underground mining without any problems enables. In addition, this embodiment is inexpensive because separate Parts like the microphone are unnecessary.
