BeschreibungDescription
Computer - Maus mit zusätzlichen 12 Tasten und DatenfreigabetasteComputer mouse with additional 12 buttons and data release button
Computer- Mäuse üblicher Bauart, (die in der IC Klassifizierung G06F003-033 eingruppiert sind), sind als 2- bzw. 3 Tastenmäuse konzipiert, deren Tasten sich immer im oberen Drittel auf der Oberfläche der Maus befinden.Computer mice of the usual design (which are classified in the IC classification G06F003-033) are designed as 2- or 3-button mice, the buttons of which are always located in the upper third of the surface of the mouse.
Diese Tasten sind dazu geeignet, bestehende Softwareprodukte in der Art und Weise zu bedienen, daß aus Symbolleisten Pulldown- Menüs, im Eingabebereich von PC- Programmen Datenfelder markiert oder verschoben werden können oder über die rechte Maustaste festgelegte Kontextmenüs aktivierbar sind.These keys are designed to operate existing software products in such a way that pull-down menus can be called up from toolbars, data fields can be marked or moved in the input area of PC programs, or context menus can be activated using the right mouse button.
Diese PC Programme sind inzwischen so ausgestaltet, daß sie sich komfortabel nur noch über die Benutzung einer Maus bedienen lassen oder anders formuliert, eine Nutzung dieser Programme über die Computer Tastatur ist prinzipiell möglich, aber sehr umständlich.These PC programs are now designed in such a way that they can only be operated comfortably using a mouse or, to put it another way, using these programs using the computer keyboard is in principle possible, but very cumbersome.
Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegeben Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Computer-Maus so zu gestalten, daß manThe invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of designing a computer mouse in such a way that
1.) direkt über die Mausoberfiäche Ziffern, ein Trennzeichen (entweder Komma oder Punkt) und ein Minuszeichen, und somit jede ganze oder gebrochene Zahl postiv oder1.) directly via the mouse surface numbers, a separator (either comma or point) and a minus sign, and thus every whole or fractional number positive or
negativ in Datenfelder eingeben kann undnegative in data fields and
2.) die Datenfreigabe per Maustastenklick unabhängig von der Position des Mauscursors durchführen kann.2.) data can be released by clicking the mouse button, regardless of the position of the mouse cursor.
Gerade in den heute aktuellen PC Tabellenkalkulationsprogrammen, wie z.B. Microsoft Excel, Lotus 1-2-3 oder auch bei Finanzbuchhaltungsstandardprogrammen wie SAP R3 sind die weitaus größten Dateneingaben reine Ziffereingaben sowie die Bestätigung zur Datenfreigabe.Especially in today's current PC spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel, Lotus 1-2-3 or standard financial accounting programs such as SAP R3, the vast majority of data entries are pure numeric entries and the confirmation of data release.
Nach heutigem Stand der Technik ist es dazu notwendig, die rechte(bzw. linke) Hand (im folgenden : die Bedienungshand) von der Maus zu nehmen, sofern die relevanten Datenfelder markiert sind, in die die Dateneingaben erfolgen sollen, um dann die Bedienungshand auf den Zahlenblock der Tastatur zu legen und die Zahleneingaben zu tätigen.According to the current state of the art, it is necessary to take the right (or left) hand (hereinafter: the operating hand) off the mouse, provided that the relevant data fields into which the data is to be entered are marked, in order to then place the operating hand on the number pad of the keyboard and enter the numbers.
Danach muß der Anwender die Bedienungshand wieder von der Tastatur nehmen und sie erneut auf die Maus legen, um die nächsten Datenfelder anzuklicken..The user must then remove his hand from the keyboard and place it on the mouse again to click on the next data fields.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß der Anwender oben angeführter Standardsoftwareprodukte seine Bedienerhand an der Mausoberfläche belassen kann,um Zahlen einzugeben und das soThe invention enables the user of the above-mentioned standard software products to leave his hand on the mouse surface in order to enter numbers and
1.) eine schnellere Bedienung der Programme ermöglicht wird und 2.) ein permanenter Wechsel der Bedienerhand zwischen Maus und Tastatur entfällt und somit ein ermüdungfreies, angenehmeres Arbeiten ermöglicht wird.1.) faster operation of the programs is possible and 2.) the operator's hand no longer has to constantly switch between mouse and keyboard, thus enabling fatigue-free, more pleasant working.
Da Anwender der beschriebenen Software nicht ausschließlich diese Produkte benutzen, ist die Integration des Zahlenfeldes, der Trennzeichentaste und der Plus-/ Minustaste auf derSince users of the software described do not exclusively use these products, the integration of the number pad, the separator key and the plus/minus key on the
Oberfläche der Maus so eingebettet, daß sie, auf Wunsch des Benutzers dieser Computer Maus mit Hilfe einerSurface of the mouse is embedded in such a way that, at the request of the user of this computer mouse with the help of a
1. abnehmbaren Deckplatte oder1. removable cover plate or
2. einer rolladenartig rauf- und runterschiebbaren Vorrichtung2. a roller shutter-like device that can be pushed up and down
verdeckt werden kann.can be concealed.
Die Datenfreigabetaste wird dabei an die linke Seite (für Linkshänder : rechte Seite) angebracht und kann mit dem Daumen bedient werden.The data release button is attached to the left side (right side for left-handed people) and can be operated with the thumb.
Die Zifferntasten sowie die Trennzeichentaste wird analog der Anordnung der handelsüblichen PC- Tastaturen/Keyboards auf die unteren zwei Drittel der Mausoberfiäche angebracht.The number keys and the separator key are arranged on the lower two thirds of the mouse surface, similar to the arrangement of standard PC keyboards.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Figuren 1- 3 erläutert. Es zeigen in der anliegenden Zeichnung :An embodiment of the invention is explained using Figures 1-3. The attached drawing shows:
Fig. 1 die Computermaus, Draufsicht (dreidimensional)Fig. 1 the computer mouse, top view (three-dimensional)
Fig. 2 die abnehmbare DeckplatteFig. 2 the removable cover plate
Fig. 3 die Computermaus, Seitenansicht (dreidimensional)Fig. 3 the computer mouse, side view (three-dimensional)
In den Figuren 1 und 3 sind die zusätzlich auf der Mausoberfiäche integrierten Ziffern 0-9, die Plus-/Minustaste und die Trennzeichentaste mit 1 bezeichnet. Die seitlich angebrachte Datenfreigabetaste ist mit 2 und die zur Zeit üblichen 2 beziehungsweise 3 Tasten sind mit 3 bezeichnet.In Figures 1 and 3, the numbers 0-9, the plus/minus key and the separator key, which are additionally integrated into the mouse surface, are labeled 1. The data release key on the side is labeled 2 and the currently standard 2 or 3 keys are labeled 3.
Die Figur 2 zeigt die abnehmbare Deckplatte, die paßgenau auf die zusätzlichen Tasten angebracht werden kann, um die Computer - Maus in der zur Zeit üblichen Art und Weise zu benutzen.Figure 2 shows the removable cover plate, which can be fitted precisely to the additional buttons in order to use the computer mouse in the currently usual manner.
