Abstract
Description
Der Gegenstand der Anmeldung bezieht sich auf eine Möglichkeit und ein Verfahren über den bisherigen Rahmen von Computerbe dienung insbesondere von PC eine Vereinfachung zu erreichen und neue Softwareprogramme dadurch erst zu ermöglichen. Bisher wurden kompliziertere Programme leicht dadurch bedient, daß Blättern in Programmseiten der Software auf dem Bildschirm dadurch ver einfacht wurden, daß mittels einer Maus oder anderen Eingabe verfahren welche einen Bildschirmcurser also einen Punkt auf dem Bildschirm bewegen, dieser Curser auf dem Bildschirm be stimmte Symbole markieren kann welche dann einen Befehl auslösen z. B. Speichern oder Drucken usw. Dies bedeutet in der praktischen Arbeit, daß außer der Eingabetastatur für Texte vor dem Bildschirm des PCs eine Eingabeeinheit vorhanden ist, meistens die soge nannte Maus, der Nutzer jedoch, will er diese Maus bedienen, benötigt hierfür eine freie Hand und kann somit nicht mehr mit beiden Händen die Texteingabetastatur bedienen, zudem müssen um Be fehle aktiviert zu werden diese auf dem Bildschirm erst er kannt und markiert werden. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es nun, eine Befehlseingabeart zu schaffen, welche direkt benannte Befehle betätigt, d. h. ein Befehl wird in dem zusätzlichen LCD Bildschirm angezeigt, z. B. durch das Symbol Drucken oder durch Textworte usw. Hierbei kann der LCD Bildschirm als Ergänzung zu Symbolen von dem bereits auf dem Bildschirm des PC befindlichen Symbolen genutzt werden, d. h., es können zusätzliche Symbole auf dem LCD Bildschirm ange zeigt werden. Das hat den Vorteil, daß das Platzangebot für Symbole erweitert wird denn auf dem Bildschirm finden eine Vielzahl von Symbolen nicht ausreichend Platz bzw. verursachen eine große Unübersichtlichkeit. Die Unübersichtlichkeit kann durch einen zusätzlichen Bildschirm verringert werden, dadurch daß auf diesem zusätzlichen Bildschirm z. B. nur ständig angegebene Grundsymbole benutzt werden wie z. B. eine Art Haupt verzeichnis für Drucken oder andere Unterprogramme. Zudem ist die LCD Anzeige so in die Tastatur angeordnet, daß sie sich direkt neben den Buchstabenfeldtasten oder Zahlenfeldtasten befindet, so daß diese Anzeige selbst Funktionen der Eingabe tatstatur übernehmen kann, welche frei von den Programmen zur Auswahl gestellt werden; es besteht sogar die Möglichkeit, einzelne Buchstaben oder bisher verwendete Symbole auf her kömmlichen Tastaturen durch die LCD Anzeige zu ersetzen. Der große Vorteil ist, daß die Symbole dadurch sehr flexibel sind. Es wäre zwar auch denkbar, die gesamte Tastatur auf eine langgezogene LCD Fläche zu projezieren und diese durch Be rührung zu aktivieren, jedoch ist dieses in der Praxis un wirtschaftlich. Vorteile bieten sich tatsächlich in einer kombinierten Anwendung von herkömmlicher Tastatur und die der LCD Touch Screen Ergänzung in dem selben Tableau.The subject of the registration relates to one possibility and a procedure on the previous framework of Computerbe serving in particular to achieve simplification of PC and To enable new software programs in the first place. So far complicated programs easily served by scrolling in program pages of the software on the screen were simply that using a mouse or other input which move a screen cursor to a point move the screen, this cursor is on the screen can mark correct symbols which can then trigger a command e.g. B. Save or print etc. This means in practical terms Work that except the input keyboard for texts in front of the screen the PC has an input unit, usually the so-called called mouse, but the user, if he wants to use this mouse, needs a free hand for this and can therefore no longer work with both Use the text input keyboard with your hands only to be activated these are missing on the screen known and marked. The object of the invention is well to create a command entry type which directly named commands operated, d. H. a command is in displayed on the additional LCD screen, e.g. B. by that Print symbol or by text words etc. Here the LCD Screen to complement symbols from the one already on the Symbols on the PC screen, d. H., additional symbols may appear on the LCD screen be shown. This has the advantage that the space for Symbols is expanded because on the screen you will find one Large number of symbols do not create or create sufficient space a great confusion. The confusion can be reduced by an additional screen, thereby that on this additional screen z. B. only constantly specified basic symbols are used such. B. a kind of head directory for printing or other subroutines. In addition is the LCD display in the keyboard so that it is right next to the letter keys or number keys located so that this display itself functions of input keyboard can take over which is free of the programs be made available for selection; there is even the possibility single letters or symbols used up to now to replace conventional keyboards with the LCD display. The big advantage is that the symbols are very flexible are. It would also be conceivable to have the entire keyboard on one to project elongated LCD surface and this by Be to activate touch, but in practice this is un economically. There are actually advantages in one combined application of conventional keyboard and the the LCD touch screen extension in the same panel.
Der große Vorteil ist, daß die Augen zur Programmwahl nicht ab schweifen (zum Hauptschirm).The big advantage is that the eyes do not stop at the program selection sweep (to the main screen).
Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit als Zusatzgerät diese LCD Vor richtung an eine herkömmliche Tastatur anzufügen, bzw. daneben aufzustellen.There is also the possibility of using this LCD as an additional device add direction to a conventional keyboard, or next to it to set up.
Die LCD Tastatur selber kann über einen oder mehrere Micro prozeßoren und eigene Programme verfügen und insbesondere auch Multimediaanschlüsse. Sie kann optisch so ausgestattet sein, daß sie vom Computerarbeitstisch entnommen bzw. ent fernt werden kann und als eine andere Funktion Verwendung findet. So insbesondere als eine Fernbedienung für Fernseh- oder Videogeräte wobei Programmtasten auf der LCD Anzeige angezeigt werden und durch die Touch Screenberührung dann aus gelöst werden. Dies bietet dann z. B. den Vorteil, daß Lieb lingsprogramme oder sogar Sender Symbole direkt in dieser LCD Anzeige erscheinen, welche man dann nur noch durch Be rührung auslösen kann. Dies bietet besonders dann einen Vor teil, wenn sehr viele Programme empfangbar sind; hierzu hat die LCD Anzeige einen Adaptermöglichkeit wobei dann auf die LCD Anzeige auf das Gehäuse dieser eine Infrarotfernbe dienungseinheit angebracht wird.The LCD keyboard itself can have one or more micro processors and own programs and in particular also multimedia connections. It can be optically equipped like this be that they are removed or removed from the computer work table can be removed and used as another function finds. So especially as a remote control for television or video equipment with program buttons shown on the LCD display and then off by touching the screen be solved. This then offers z. B. the advantage that love programs or even transmitter symbols directly in this LCD display appear, which you can then only by Be can trigger touch. This offers a benefit especially then partly if a large number of programs can be received; has this the LCD display an adapter option, then on the LCD display on the housing of this one infrared remote control service unit is attached.
Des weiteren kann die LCD Fernbedienung so gestaltet sein, daß sie natürlich alle anderen bisher bekannten Funktionen eines LCD Displays verwendet werden kann, sowohl zum Fernseh- als auch Videobetrieb. Es ist vorgesehen, daß die LCD Touch Screen Moduleinheit ein Farb LCD enthält und ca. die Größe hat von 10 auf 10 Centimetern. Diese LCD Module können somit auch vollständig die Funktion einer Maus übernehmen oder so aufgebaut sind, daß sie unten ebenfalls eine rollbare Kugel haben, welche an ihrer unteren Seite befindlich ist, so daß die gesamte LCD Einrichtung bewegt werden kann wie eine Maus, wobei auf dieser dann sogenannten LCD Maus durch freie Wahl der Symbole Befehle gesteuert und ausgelöst werden können. Die Symbolwahl erfolgt jeweils in einer anderen Art durch das Computerprogramm. Hierzu ist es vorteilhaft, wenn diese LCD Maus über eine Infrarotleitung mit dem PC oder der Tastatur verbunden ist. In den anderen Fällen genügt ein Kabeladapter zum PC. Die Zeichnung nun zeigt zwei Ausführungsarten dieser in Fig. 1 ist eine Tastatur mit integrierten LCD Touch Screen zu sehen, wobei A die Tastatur, B das Touch Screen C zusätzliche Anschlüsse und in Fig. 2 ist eine separate LCD Modul neben der herkömmlichen Tastatur zu sehen. Hierbei ist die Tastatur, B die Touch Screen, C Anschlüsse, D ist der herkömmliche PC Monitor und E ist der Tower bzw. Prozessor des PCs.Furthermore, the LCD remote control can be designed so that it can of course be used for all other previously known functions of an LCD display, both for television and video operation. It is envisaged that the LCD touch screen module unit contains a color LCD and is approximately the size of 10 to 10 centimeters. These LCD modules can thus also completely take over the function of a mouse or are constructed in such a way that they also have a rollable ball at the bottom, which is located on their lower side, so that the entire LCD device can be moved like a mouse, being on this then so-called LCD mouse commands can be controlled and triggered by free choice of symbols. The symbols are selected in a different way by the computer program. For this it is advantageous if this LCD mouse is connected to the PC or the keyboard via an infrared line. In the other cases, a cable adapter to the PC is sufficient. The drawing now shows two embodiments of this. In Fig. 1 a keyboard with an integrated LCD touch screen can be seen, with A the keyboard, B the touch screen C additional connections and in Fig. 2 a separate LCD module next to the conventional keyboard . Here is the keyboard, B the touch screen, C connections, D is the conventional PC monitor and E is the tower or processor of the PC.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Tastatur, wo der Touchsreen in der Mitte der Tasten angeordnet ist. Fig. 3 shows a keyboard where the touch screen is arranged in the middle of the keys.
