Description

Normale Eingabetastaturen haben keinen Sichtschutz. Manche Tastaturen sind etwas in eine Vertiefung eingelassen, sodaß nach bestimmten Richtungen ein bedingter Sichtschutz besteht.Normal input keyboards do not have a privacy screen. Some keyboards are slightly recessed so that there is a certain degree of privacy in certain directions.

Eingabetastaturen für PIN' s, Codewörter usw. sind oft in öffentlichen Räumen aufgestellt und es ist dem Benutzer nicht möglich, seine Eingabe unter Gewährleistung der Diskretion durchzuführen. Dieses Problem stellt sich vor allem im Kassenbereich von Verkaufsstellen, wo in der räumlichen Enge der Datenschutz außen vor bleibt. Konflikte mit installierten Überwachungskameras, durch welche Gemeimzahlen abgeschöpft werden können, sind bei optisch nicht ausreichend abgeschirmten Tastaturen vorprogrammiert.Input keyboards for PINs, code words, etc. are often set up in public spaces and it is not possible for the user to enter their data in complete discretion. This problem occurs primarily in the checkout area of sales outlets, where data protection is not taken into account due to the limited space. Conflicts with installed surveillance cameras, which can be used to collect common numbers, are inevitable if the keyboards are not optically shielded sufficiently.

Die beschriebene Erfindung ermöglicht bei der Bedienung von Tastaturen den Blick auf die Tastaturoberfläche aus dem Blickwinkel des Benutzers und versperrt die Sicht auf diese aus allen seitlichen Positionen zuverlässig. Je nach Ausführung kann der Bereich für die Position, aus welcher eine Durchsicht möglich ist, enger oder weiter gefaßt sein.The invention described enables the keyboard surface to be viewed from the user's perspective when using keyboards and reliably blocks the view from all lateral positions. Depending on the design, the area for the position from which a view is possible can be narrower or wider.

Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Eingabetastatur entweder vollständig in einen Rahmen eingefaßt wird, oder, wenn die Tastatur in größeren Geräten integriert ist, ein solcher Rahmen aufgesetzt wird. Der Einblick ist nur durch einen raster- oder siebartigen Aufsatz möglich. Die einzelnen Zellen sind durch möglichst dünne, zum Benutzer senkrecht stehende Wände begrenzt, welche die Durchsicht bei schrägen Blickwinkeln verhindern. Je kleiner die diagonalen Zelldurchmesser gehalten werden, desto flacher kann der Aufsatz bemessen sein um bei gleichem Blickwinkel zu verdecken.This is achieved by either completely enclosing the input keyboard in a frame or, if the keyboard is integrated into larger devices, by placing such a frame on top. The view is only possible through a grid or sieve-like attachment. The individual cells are delimited by walls that are as thin as possible and are perpendicular to the user, which prevent them from being seen through at an oblique angle. The smaller the diagonal cell diameters are, the flatter the attachment can be in order to cover the view at the same angle.

Dabei ist die Sicht verdeckt, wenn der Blickwinkel BW, zur Ebene der Sichtschutzoberfläche gemessen, kleiner gleich dem Winkel fFist, wobei W=tanl (Zellhöhe/Zelldiagonale). The view is obscured if the viewing angle BW, measured to the plane of the privacy screen surface, is less than or equal to the angle fF, where W=tan l (cell height/cell diagonal).

In der Skizze 1 ist eine Variante des Sichtschutzes dargestellt, welche eine Eingabetastatur von Geheimzahlen für EC- und Kredit-Karten umgibt. Im Vordergrund ist eine einzelne Zelle abgebildet (4), an welcher ersichtlich ist, wie der Sichtschutzbereich proportional zum Verhältnis Höhe (h) zu Zelldiagonale (d) wächst.Sketch 1 shows a variant of the privacy screen that surrounds an input keypad for PINs for debit and credit cards. In the foreground, a single cell is shown (4), which shows how the privacy screen area grows proportionally to the ratio of height (h) to cell diagonal (d).

In der Skizze 2 ist eine ähnliche Variante aus einer fast senkrechten Blickrichtung zu erkennen, mit der darin eingefaßten Tastatur.In sketch 2, a similar variant can be seen from an almost vertical view, with the keyboard embedded in it.

Mit größeren Ausführungen können auch Keyboards abgedeckt werden. Ebenso ist eine Abdeckung für in andere Geräte integrierte Tastaturen formatierbar, wobei der Sichtschutz entweder mit dem Gehäuse des Hauptgerätes eine Einheit bildet, oder auf dieses aufgesetzt wird. Ist zu den Seiten hin bereits ein bedingter Sichtschutz gegeben, weil die Tastatur in eine Vertiefung eingearbeitet ist, reicht schon die Montage des siebartigen Aufsatzes. Dieser kann entweder fest montiert sein oder ausziehbar oder aufklappbar.Keyboards can also be covered with larger versions. A cover can also be formatted for keyboards integrated into other devices, whereby the privacy screen either forms a unit with the housing of the main device or is placed on top of it. If there is already some privacy protection on the sides because the keyboard is built into a recess, it is sufficient to install the sieve-like attachment. This can either be permanently mounted or extendable or hinged.
