Description

A group of utility models relates to the field of computer technology, namely to computer accessories, and can be used as a manipulator (computer "mouse") for entering information into computers and other devices using manipulators such as a "mouse".

In the period of ever-increasing flows of information, the speed of its input into computers and other devices, as well as the reduction of fatigue in the hands of the user entering this information, play a huge role.

Numerous designs of traditional devices for inputting information into a computer — computer “mice” are known, which allow you to control computer screen elements by moving the device’s case equipped with a tracking device (tracking device) on a flat surface using at least two control buttons, located, as a rule, under the index and ring fingers of the hand. However, the traditional form of the mouse leads to rapid fatigue of the user's hand entering information, and also does not allow him to work simultaneously with one mouse and keyboard, which causes inconvenience and limits the speed of entering information into the computer.

The closest in technical essence to the proposed devices is a computer device for entering information on a glove. The device is made, in particular, in the form of a “fingerless” glove, directly behind the fingertips of which are placed a tracking device and control buttons, which use pressure cards. On the back of the palm is a transmitting device. A receiver is inserted in the appropriate connector on the computer. If you use a connecting cable, then such a cable directly connects the transmitting device to the computer. The user himself can determine which finger to attach each of the boards and the tracking device to. The mouse click functions are controlled by clicking on the pressure cards to generate switching signals, which are also transmitted to the computer. / Patent US 7057604, G09G 5/08, 2006 /.

The disadvantages of this device are the inconvenience of the location of the control buttons and the tracking device directly behind the fingertips,

which complicates the use of the keyboard, and also in the process of typing on the keyboard can lead to erroneous inclusion of the device.

The task of the group of proposed technical solutions is to create devices for entering information into a computer that are simple and convenient to operate.

The technical result consists in expanding the arsenal of cursor controls and increasing the speed of inputting information while improving the usability of the manipulator for the computer (“mouse”).

In the first embodiment, the task is solved, and the technical result is achieved due to the fact that, in the device for inputting information, comprising a glove case equipped with a tracking device, control buttons and a signal converter connected via a cable to a computer, the tracking device is located on the inner side of the wrist, and electrodes located on the underside of the thumb and the sides of the index and middle fingers are used as control buttons in directed towards the thumb.

And also due to the fact that preferably the electrodes of the index and middle fingers are located on the second phalanx.

And also due to the fact that the device can be equipped with a device for fixing gloves on the user's hand.

And also due to the fact that a glove for the left hand can be used.

In the second embodiment, the task is solved, and the technical result is achieved due to the fact that, in the device for inputting information, comprising a glove case equipped with a tracking device, control buttons, a signal converter and a wireless signal transmitter to a computer, the tracking device is located on the inner side of the wrist, and the electrodes located on the underside of the thumb and the sides of the index and middle pas are used as control buttons Lion directed towards the thumb.

And also due to the fact that preferably the electrodes of the index and middle fingers are located on the second phalanx.

And also due to the fact that the device can be equipped with a device for fixing gloves on the user's hand.

In particular, an optical transmitter is used as a wireless signal transmitter, and a glove for the left hand can also be used.

The proposed technical solutions are illustrated by drawings.

Figure 1 schematically shows a first embodiment of a device for entering information into a computer, made in the form of a glove for the right hand connected to the computer via a connecting cable; figure 2 is the same side view.

Figure 3 schematically shows a second embodiment of a device for entering information into a computer, made in the form of a glove for the right hand with a wireless signal transmitter. Figure 4 is the same side view.

The first version of the device for entering information into a computer (Figure 1) contains a right glove 1 with an electrode 2 located on the underside of the thumb, control buttons 3 and 4, which use electrodes located on the second phalanges of the side surfaces directed to the side thumb, forefinger and middle finger, respectively. The little finger and ring fingers of glove 1 can be cut off completely, while the rest of the fingers of glove 1 can have their fingertips cut off. On the inner side of the wrist is a tracking device 5 connected to a signal converter 6 (Figure 2), which is connected via a cable 7 in turn through a connecting unit 8, a cable for connecting the computer and the connecting unit 9 and a connector for the computer 10 (for example, PS / 2) with a computer. The device can be made for both the right and left hands, and is also equipped with a strap, rubber or other element for attaching the glove to the user's wrist (not shown in the drawings), which allows the use of one device for hands of different sizes.

The device operates as follows.

The user puts a glove on his hand. When you plug connector 10 into the appropriate connector on your computer, the device is ready for use. In order to gain control over the position of the cursor on the monitor screen, the user brings the tracking device 5, located on the inner side of the wrist, in contact with a horizontal surface. Any movement of the tracking device in any direction on the surface generates motion signals, which are transmitted through the signal converter 6 via cable 7 through the connecting unit 8, cable 9 and connector 10 to the computer to ensure the corresponding cursor movement on the computer screen. The functions of the “click” of the mouse are provided by closing the electrodes 2, 3 and 4 located on the large, index and middle

fingers accordingly. The left “click” is carried out by closing the electrodes 2 and 3 located on the thumb and forefinger, respectively, and the right one; “Click” - by closing the electrodes 2 and 4 located on the thumb and middle finger, respectively, to generate switching signals, which are also transmitted to the computer through the signal converter 6. When working with the “mouse”, the user's fingertips always remain free, which allows you to quickly switch to working with the keyboard and vice versa if necessary, as well as write, for example, text manually and use the “mouse” almost simultaneously. As soon as the contact of the tracking device with a horizontal surface is opened, the user can only work with the keyboard. The electrode 2, located on the lower part of the thumb, and the electrodes 3 and 4, located on the side surfaces of the index and middle fingers, respectively, and performing the function of “clicks”, do not interfere with the user working with the keyboard, while the probability of accidental closing of the electrodes is extremely small, which provides simplicity and reliability of the device. In this case, the user's wrist is mainly in its natural position, which significantly reduces the fatigue of his hand when entering information.

The second embodiment of the device for inputting information into a computer is a wireless, for example, an optical “mouse” (FIG. 3), and contains a right glove 1 with an electrode 2 located on the underside of the thumb, control buttons 3 and 4, which are use electrodes located on the second phalanges of the side surfaces directed towards the thumb, index and middle fingers, respectively. The little finger and ring fingers of the glove 1 can be cut off completely, while the rest of the fingers of the glove 1 can only be cut off with the fingertips. On the inner side of the wrist is a tracking device 5 connected via a signal converter 6 (Figure 4) and a wireless signal transmitter 11 to a computer. When using a wireless signal transmitter, the signal receiver can be connected to a computer, or installed directly in it. The device can be made for both the right and left hand. It is equipped with a strap, rubber band or other element for attaching the glove to the user's wrist (not shown in the drawings), which allows the use of one device for hands of different sizes.

The device operates as follows.

The user puts a glove on his hand. In order to gain control over the position of the cursor on the monitor screen, the user brings the tracking device 5, located on the inner side of the wrist, in contact with a horizontal surface. Any movement of the tracking device on a horizontal surface generates motion signals that are transmitted through the signal converter 6 and the wireless signal transmitter 11 to the computer to ensure the corresponding cursor movement on the computer screen. The functions of the “click” of the mouse are provided by closing the electrodes 2, 3 and 4 located on the thumb, index and middle fingers, respectively. The left “click” is carried out by closing the electrodes 2 and 3 located on the thumb and forefinger, respectively, and the right “click” - by closing the electrodes 2 and 4 located on the thumb and middle fingers, respectively, to generate switching signals, which are also transmitted to the computer. When working with the “mouse”, the user's fingertips always remain free, which allows you to quickly switch to working with the keyboard if necessary. As soon as the contact of the tracking device with a horizontal surface is opened, the user can only work with the keyboard. The electrodes 2, 3 and 4, performing the function of “clicks” and located on the lower surface of the thumb and side surfaces of the index and middle fingers, respectively, do not interfere with the user working with the keyboard, while the probability of accidental shorting of the electrodes is extremely small, which ensures simplicity and reliability of operation of the device . The user’s work with the proposed “mouse” does not require taking his hands off the keyboard, which significantly increases the speed of inputting information into a computer and other devices that use mouse-type manipulators to enter information.

Thus, the proposed technical solutions allow us to expand the arsenal of cursor controls and speed up the input of information into a computer and other devices that use a mouse-type manipulator to enter information while ensuring simplicity and ease of use of the user with the “mouse”.
