Abstract
Description
EDV-Anlagen werden zunehmend im betrieblichen und privaten Bereich zur Informationsvereinbarung eingesetzt. Häufig dient zur Dateneingabe eine elektrische Tastatur. Die eingegebenen Zeichen können i. d. R. simultan auf einem Bildschirm verfolgt werden, und Tippfehler können auch bei hoher Schreibgeschwindigkeit schnell und sicher erkannt werden.IT systems are increasingly used in business and private Information agreement area used. Often an electrical keyboard is used for data entry. The entered characters can i. d. R. simultaneously on one Screen are tracked, and typing errors can also be made at high writing speed recognized quickly and safely will.
Bei bekannten Tastaturen dauert jedoch die Korrektur eines erkannten Fehlers unverhältnismäßig lange. Dies liegt daran, daß nach der Fehlererkennung eine meist relativ weit von der Standard-Schreibmaschinentastatur entfernt liegende Lösch- oder Cursor-Bewegungs-Taste betätigt werden muß. Möchte man diese Taste unverkrampft niederdrücken - der Löschtasten- bzw. Cursor-Tastendruck dauert abhängig von der aktuellen Cursor- und Fehlerposition i.a. länger als bei den Buch staben-, Ziffern- und Sonderzeichentasten - lösen sich die übrigen Finger von dem Standard-Schreibmaschinentastenfeld. Vor dem Überschreiben des Fehlers und Fortsetzen des Tippvorganges ist es daher häufig notwendig, die Finger wieder in die Grundstellung des Zehnfingersystems zu brin gen. Das kostet unnötige Zeit.With known keyboards, however, the correction of a detected error takes a disproportionately long time. This is due to the fact that after the error detection, a delete or cursor movement key, which is usually located relatively far away from the standard typewriter keyboard, must be pressed. If you want to press this key down with ease - depending on the current cursor and error position, the delete key or cursor key takes longer than the letter, number and special character keys - the other fingers are released from the standard typewriter keypad. Before overwriting the error and continuing the typing process, it is therefore often necessary to return the fingers to the basic position of the ten-finger system. This takes up unnecessary time.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, das Aus führen langwieriger und umständlicher Computerfunktionen, wie bspw. das Bewegen eines Bildschirm-Cursors und das Korrigieren von Tippfehlern, zu vereinfachen und zu be schleunigen. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß Funktionen der Tastatur auch durch einen angekoppelten Fußschalter ausgelöst werden können. Die Ankopplung kann dabei auf akustischem, optischem oder elektrischem Wege erfolgen. Eine drahtlose Befehlsübertragung vom Fußschalter an die Tastatur hat den Vorteil, daß der Benutzer kaum in seiner Bewegungsfreiheit eingeschränkt wird. Bei Einsatz optischer oder elektrischer Leiter sollte der Kontakt zwi schen EDV-Anlage und Leiter mit einem Stecker und einer Kupplung leicht lösbar sein.The invention is therefore based on the object perform lengthy and cumbersome computer functions, such as moving a screen cursor and that Correct typing errors, simplify and correct accelerate. This is achieved according to the invention by that keyboard functions are also coupled by a Foot switch can be triggered. The coupling can thereby by acoustic, optical or electrical means respectively. A wireless command transmission from the foot switch to the keyboard has the advantage that the user hardly in his freedom of movement is restricted. When in use optical or electrical conductor should the contact between computer system and conductor with one plug and one Clutch can be easily released.
Der Bediener der Tastatur kann nun bspw. nach Erkennen eines Schreibfehlers den Cursor mit Hilfe eines Fußschalters zu der Stelle des Schreibfehlers bewegen. Seine Finger können dabei auf der Standard-Schreibmaschinentastatur verbleiben. Unmittelbar nachdem der Cursor den Schreibfehler erreicht hat, kann der Anwender, ohne daß er die Finger erst auf dem Tastenfeld in Grundstellung bringen muß, mit dem Überschrei ben des Fehlers beginnen. Seine Augen können permanent den Arbeitsfortschritt auf dem Bildschirm verfolgen. Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des Fußschalters wäre ein Wippschalter mit zwei Drehachsen. Damit könnte bspw. der Bildschirm-Cursor an jeden beliebigen Bildschirmpunkt ge steuert werden.The operator of the keyboard can now, for example, after recognizing a Typing error to the cursor with the help of a foot switch the location of the typing error. His fingers can remain on the standard typewriter keyboard. Immediately after the cursor reaches the write error has, the user can, without the fingers first on the Must bring the keypad into the basic position with the overwrite start the error. His eyes can always be Track work progress on the screen. A preferred embodiment of the foot switch would be one Rocker switch with two rotary axes. For example, the Screen cursor to any screen point be controlled.
Eine andere Ausführung des Fußschalters wäre die Bauart eines sog. "Track-Ball"s.Another version of the foot switch would be the type a so-called "track ball".
Um dem Anwender eine möglichst große Wahl der mit dem Fuß steuerbaren Funktionen zu ermöglichen, sollten die Fuß schalterfunktionen frei programmierbar sein.To give the user the largest possible choice of foot controllable functions should allow the foot switch functions can be freely programmed.
Auch kann es sinnvoll sein, dem Anwender den Einsatz mehrerer Fußschalter offenzuhalten.It can also be useful to the user keep several foot switches open.
