- FIGS. 24a to 24d represent combination activation tables coexisting on the same equipment in order to make it accessible to both a beginner and an expert, and
- Figures 25a and 25b show an alternative to the modes of Figures 24a to 24d.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention according to which the combinational data input device, hereinafter referred to as DED, has three adjacent main detection areas (11, 12, 13) associated with the three fingers.
- DED combinational data input device
- "Agile" index, middle finger, ring finger
- These zones are arranged to correspond morphologically to the fingers of the hand and each comprise two adjacent sensitive areas (upper zone or "front” and lower zone or “back"), such as, often and especially in expert mode, a single to the time is logically activated by the corresponding agile finger, for example by software processing, or by hardware construction.
- this may not be suitable for beginners.
- This embodiment makes it possible to take full advantage of the kinetic possibilities of the hand and the brain which controls and controls them because the movements requested by the fingers alone are simple and have a wide range of tolerance.
- the tactile sensations of the fingertips and kinesthetic in the fingers themselves, associated with the positions are simple and distinct for a human hand and brain. It is understood that this embodiment is not limiting and that an embodiment in which the number of logical sensitive areas is variable from one main zone to the other is also conceivable within the scope of the present invention. Each of these zones can be likened to a "logical" zone with which a state is associated.
- N zones detection logic make it possible to use N + l different states, even if other embodiments are possible in particular to avoid ambiguities between different logical zones and to create a redundancy of information between the zone which is deactivated and that which is active during this transition.
- the activation detection of a zone is done by acoustic impact detection, it is necessary to be able to detect the deactivation of the zone, that is to say the entry into the non-activated state. None of the N sensitive areas. Conversely, a solution might not take into account the N + lth state and use only the N states associated with N sensitive areas.
- the embodiment 1 would be made with 3 areas such that the user would not have to raise his fingers, so with the same number three of useful states, which would allow him, by slipping or supported vertical more or shallower (as in a trumpet key), continue to hold the DED or object, eg phone or handlebar or joystick, while designating and validating the sensitive areas of the desired combinations.
- the DED or object eg phone or handlebar or joystick
- the use of the fingers as main actuators on the sensitive areas of a DED according to the invention is the most obvious solution.
- all types of actuators can be used and even mixed together to designate the different logical areas: stylus, pen, extremities of limbs, moving parts of the body, including devices for monitoring the eyes and eyelids, (for the disabled) , head, fingers, from one to three as part of the realization 1, electronic pointer of any kind, etc. ...
- the various terms designating an actuator are used without, for all that, restricting the description of the present invention.
- the designation mode can be successive, slipped, simultaneous or mixed, so more or less fast and requiring more or less attention, but still allow to designate a given box in a reference table, symbolically representative, especially on the screen.
- the invention is based on a canonical arrangement, according to the characteristics of the human hand with five fingers, in tables common to all contexts, containing "boxes” whose same content is designated and validated according to a process "Writing" of its "address” in the table that is adapted to the context, the technologies with which the DED is made, the number of mobilizable actuators and the preferences of the user.
- a small number of boxes may not be accessible by all processes and their contents are possibly duplicated in other boxes of the canonical arrangement.
- certain combinations based on non-exclusivity between sensitive zones of the same main zone can be added to modes that access only a lower number of combinations.
- an additional area can be added to allow the equivalent of the simultaneous support of two sensitive areas normally exclusive to each other.
- each finger can take three states which corresponds to 27 combinations in the mathematical sense, and allows as described in the FR85 / 11532 patent of Guyot- Sionnest, to address an alphabet of 26 signs.
- FIG. 5 illustrates, in a band presentation, an example of an association between the 26 possible useful combinations according to the device of FIG. 1 and the characters of the Latin alphabet.
- this strip corresponds to each of the letters of the alphabet a checkerboard representation of the combination to be made on the device to produce this letter (the black boxes are those that have been designated by the fingers of the user).
- the device for the band of FIG. 5, will have a "Y" that will be activated when the fingers leave the three zones together. sensitive upper.
- Ad-hoc software makes it possible to interpret the combination provided to activate the corresponding object.
- the software can for example recover the identifier of the activated zones and, using an active correspondence table as illustrated in FIG. 5, produce the character determined by the combination of these identifiers.
- One of the advantages of the successive mode is that it can easily be realized with a single actuator, which is often practical, especially for DED according to the invention which will be implemented on mobile objects preferably handled with one hand (telephones, readers multimedia ...), or when the other hand is occupied or there is no support to hold the DED or that it is made in a technology that does not allow simultaneous support (touch screens currents, virtual zones), as described below under "technologies”.
- This successive mode with a single actuator also allows the action with a stylus, which is also a pointing device, and the remote action on the sensitive areas or their symbolic representations with a simple pointer.
- the basic variant of the successive mode and the "Bitap" process already described above.
- a first successive variant, particularly interesting because quite natural and applicable with a wide variety of actuators is to slide it on a surface type touchpad or touch screens.
- this variant of the successive mode called "Dragged” a single actuator descends on one zone then slides to another zone, possibly passing through one or two others, then is raised, which validates the arrangement.
- This slipped mode can be practiced with a stylus or finger on a touch screen, a pointer on virtual zones, for example the very representations of the sensitive areas on the screen, or a finger like the thumb, on an area capable of following its movement. , like a touchpad (commercial name), standard according to the state of the art, or a touchscreen (touchscreen).
- the combination formed may be the combination of the first and last zones or the combination of all the zones described by the slide.
- you realize this "Dragged" with a stylus you get closer to a cursive script. It will be seen later that this cursive handwriting can also be done without a sensitive area, with a paper and a pencil / pen, or on a sensitive screen tablet, in a very small area, for example the size of a large slider. which then brings it closer to the handwriting recognition systems, but with a simplified writing so easily recognizable.
- a second advantageous variant for the speed of the successive mode consists, when the user can mobilize two fingers, for example the two thumbs, to dispense the user to raise the first finger before activating, with a second finger, the second zone, if it is different from the first, then to raise the two fingers together which represents a simultaneous validation similar to that of the combination mode.
- This first variant leaving the user the choice to use one or two fingers, or three, thus performs a first example of mixed mode.
- a third successive variant and "Successitap" favors the use of three agile fingers positioned above the DED, each loading two sensitive areas, front and rear, the hand remaining stationary.
- This variant by canceling the movements of one or both fingers between the columns of the DED, and allowing the parallel action of the fingers, promotes the speed.
- the slight problem concerns the six arrangements on a single zone, which almost needlessly require two successive supports. If one wishes to make only one support, then the six arrangements normally produced by a finger going successively from one of its two sensitive areas to the other are no longer feasible.
- One solution is, when technology allows, to allow the same finger to activate successively but without reading, its 2 sensitive areas mainly exclusive.
- a delay threshold (tempol) which delimits the Simultaneous designation (without order and thus short ) of the Successive designation (in an order, therefore a little slower).
- a typical value for an average ability to simultaneously press the fingers is 20 milliseconds for tempol.
- a fourth variant of the successive mode consists in adding a third finger, without worrying about its nature or position (index, major or annular) and considering only the fact that it activates a sensitive zone "before “Or” back “to make him play somehow the role of a tape rotation actuator, (feature described later in connection with embodiment 2) thus allowing access to 3 x 36 or 3 x 33, or 3 * 30 combinations depending on whether the user has chosen the Bitap or one of the different Successitap using only two fingers for a combination.
- the third activated zone corresponded to an active 36 (33, 30) active band substitution command for a second of 36 (33, 30) when the third support is in the "forward" or third of 36 (33, 30) when the third support is in the "back” or lower position.
- the fastest mode of designation and validation but requiring the most actuators is the one that can be called "Simultaneous" in which the order of designation of the sensitive zones is not taken into account and the validation is made in recognizing that the main areas managed by the three nimble fingers are physically disabled and taking into account only the areas that were still activated at the validation time minus a certain time delay (tempo2) parameterizable.
- This back delay device is necessary to take into account that the finger readings are not absolutely simultaneous and to avoid that any zone which has been activated and deactivated since the previous validation is taken into account, as is seen on most combinatorial keyboards. (like the CyKey).
- the tempo2 At each reading of a physical zone, the tempo2 is triggered and at its expiration the associated logical zone is in turn deactivated.
- This tempo2 acts as a timeout for forgetting the zones that are activated and then deactivated, for example during an exploration or a trial and error. It can not be reduced to zero, because in this case, areas desired by the user would be seen as not part of the validated combination.
- a typical value for an average skill at simultaneously raising fingers is 50 milliseconds for the tempo2. It can not be too big because forgetting would be slow, which would curb the exploration, important feature of the guidance, described later.
- the activation order of the zones facilitates the action of the fingers, especially the transitions between combinations, but allows only 26 useful combinations on 6 zones and requires three fingers for 8 of them.
- the triggering event of the validation of the activated combination arrives (for example, no more physical zone activated)
- the produced object is that corresponding to the combination whose logical zones are still active, that is to say of which the timeout of forgetting tempo2 is not yet expired.
- each of the eighteen possible combinations can correspond to only two distinct arrangements by the typing order of the same two keys, which corresponds to a weak ambiguity, easy to treat.
- a radical or a single word will very often be the only possibility.
- combinatorial keyboards do not look at the keyboard, allows you to look at the screen, and therefore see the system messages immediately, then, with the dynamic guidance associated with the interactive presentation (described below), present the choices so that they can be selected with a combination related to the position of choice in the dynamic guidance, therefore, without having to go to activate keys of movement and validation: one sees and one clicks by producing the implicit combination, which is then faster than finishing the typing of the word ...
- a second "Mixed" mode consists of mixing the Successitap mode and the Simultaneous mode in order to have access to 30 combinations at the same time and for 26 of them to benefit from the Simultaneous speed or the comfort of one or two fingers only ( 6 + 12 simultaneous combinations only, and respect of the activation order for the 8 combinations that would otherwise require three fingers and the 4 arrangements with 2 fingers that have no possible match in the band of 26 combinations).
- This mode is illustrated in Figure 7.
- the combinations with a single finger on a single zone, column 73 of Figure 7 must be made with a single support-statement, leaving only 30 boxes accessible on the 36 of the "Bitap" reference.
- the 6 combinations corresponding to column 77 of FIG. 7 are no longer possible.
- the first 3 possible additional combinations are those that can be produced by pressing simultaneously, when technologies allow, with a single actuator-finger, on the two sensitive areas of the same main zone figure 24 (c), 24 (d) and 25 (b), column 77.
- a third particularly interesting mixed mode is to simultaneously make possible the modes “Bitap”, “Successitap” and “Simultaneous” ("Simultap") under the sole constraint that the six particular combinations of the "Simultaneous" mode that are normally done by a single
- the raised bearings, called “pivot combinations", column 73 in Fig. 7 and Fig. 25, are produced by a double tilt, as in the "Bitap” process.
- the advantage of this mixed mode is that the same DED with the same settings can be used with one to three fingers or actuators, figures 24, column 73.
- the mixed mode makes several production modes coexist: the simple mode (a) for the beginner, the intermediate mode (b), the confirmed mode (c) and finally the (d) expert mode.
- the simple beginner mode (a) offers 36 combinations, all activated by the successive Bitap mode.
- the mode (b) is similar to that described for FIG. 6, making it possible to combine the BiTap and Successitap modes: the clear box being the first activated zone, the dark one the second beyond the simultaneity time (tempo 1).
- the 8 Bitap combinations (underlined twice in the figures) which have a previous competitor but which can easily be differentiated from these competitors by the addition of a third box causing the Simultap designation of the combination.
- the user can use a third disambiguation zone (box with a rhombus) which makes it possible to confirm the activated combination.
- the confirmed mode (c) retains the BiTap mode for the six "pivot" combinations.
- the expert mode (d) accelerates the production of objects with respect to mode (c) by no longer requiring the respect of an order for these 3 combinations by authorizing simultaneous support of four adjacent zones to provide the immediate disambiguation necessary.
- FIGS. 25a and 25b differ from the previous ones in that the successive Pure Bitap mode of the six pivot combinations is omitted in favor of a designation by a single statement-support.
- the combinations other than the pivots are designatable by successive action of the two zones composing these combinations. This is a common success story.
- the expert mode (25b) provides a maximum of producible combinations simultaneously and thus offering increased performance: the six pivot combinations are activatable by a single zone in support-raised.
- an intermediate mode can be set up grouping the designations of the mode illustrated in Figure 24c among which the designation of the pivot combinations is only performed by a single support-statement.
- the designation is made by 1, 2, 3 or 4 supports and only according to the only mode successitap maintained and simultaneous, the 26 objects (77 + 79) of the first part of the active table being facts in the same way in both variants.
- the difference between these variants relates to the 6 pivot boxes which are made, in the second variant, by a single press-statement on a single sensitive area, bringing to 32 the number of boxes that can be addressed without having to respect an order.
- the designation mode combines the Combined (81, 83 and 84) and the Successive (82) combinations.
- a delay threshold temporary
- the definition of a delay threshold makes it possible to delimit the designation Simultaneous (without order and thus short) of the designation Successive (according to an order, therefore a little slower), carrying by the same number of possible combinations with 6 arrangements / combinations mono-finger + 24 arrangements successitap bi-fingers + 20 simultaneous combinations bi and tri-fingers, ie 50 combinations.
- a "special" mode some cells of the table will be validated involving only the 2 nd or 3 rd finger of the associated combination, which will facilitate rehearsals, according to a customary gesture, for example to increase or decrease the volume or turn pages.
- the immediate exploration described below will be lost for these boxes (it will remain valid by leaving the final finger of the combination raised beyond the timeout (tempo2) of oblivion / exploration).
- This particular mode corresponds to a general need for repetition of a combination. To avoid having to repeat the complete combination, or to allow faster repetitions than the fingers can do, there are several possibilities to obtain repetition, a combination or a series of combinations, without losing the significant ability of exploration and correction before validation.
- Example 1 by triggering the sustained maintenance of conventional keyboards only at the 2nd successive designation of the same combination.
- Example 2 by creating a function internal to the software that would be stored in a particularly practical or logical box and whose designation and maintenance supported trigger the repetition of the previous combination (or a succession like Alt + Tab, or Ctrl + -> or Ctrl + Del), repetition that would stop at the reading and start over again.
- the successive mode gives access to 36 combinations (arrangements) (figure 6) and the simultaneous mode to 26 combinations (Figures 5 and 7).
- Figure 7 groups together the 36 arrangements and the 26 combinations, distinguishing them by distinct signs of activation of the zones (bright, black or square point).
- the 36 arrangements are divided between 12 arrangements (71, figure 6 or 7) made with the same finger and 24 with two different fingers (72, figure 6 or 7) and that the 26 combinations include 6 made with a finger ( 73), 12 made with two fingers (74) and 8 made with three fingers (75 and 76).
- a first logical solution for a user who wants to be able, depending on the context, to act with one, two or three actuators and keep the same object tables, will be to abandon the 6 difficult arrangements to be done in combination mode (77), add a third finger (represented by a black square in the figure) to 8 arrangements (75 and 76) to be able to overcome a successive striking in an order and to keep or not the four arrangements (78) that will always require a precise order of successive action.
- the user can keep 30 "combinations" in all cases of use of one to three actuators and thus place durably and memorably objects to activate.
- NATURE OF OBJECTS The present invention is not limited to computer objects of type alphanumeric characters since it allows, for example, to assign to a particular combination of fingers a function of the device to be controlled, such as for example the opening of an application on a computer or the extinction of the TV set.
- a designated and validated object may be, without limitation: one or more alphanumeric characters, a standard sentence, an image, a computer icon, an item of a drop-down menu, an internal command to the proper operation of the DED , or driving external equipment, an internal program to the device or external residing on a third party computer or electronic equipment.
- the tapes may contain objects of a heterogeneous nature, examples of which are provided previously.
- a device or software to record all the computer objects (icons, commands, applications, ...) available and organize them in the form of tapes and of tables so that they can be presented, designated and activated by the device of the present invention, much faster than an electronic pointer, much more compact than a conventional keyboard, much more powerful than the devices of small portable electronic objects or personal.
- the representation of these objects can be the object itself (this is particularly the case for alphanumeric characters) or for example an icon representative of the object (an example is the icons of Word toolbars allowing execute a specific command).
- “Mouse” solutions are not suitable for a large part of mobility situations.
- various technologies exist to implement the different detection zones and a pointer when there is no surface to put a mouse on.
- the management of the inter-zone borders can be carried out by a software that will interpret the coordinates delivered by this sensor to activate the logical zones corresponding to the different supports of the different fingers.
- Some sensors provide a set of coordinates corresponding to the extended area of influence and support of the finger.
- a software makes it possible to associate a significant point with all the coordinates provided by the sensor (and thus constituting the coordinates of the finger), for example the centroid or the upper (lower) point if the majority of coordinates are in one of the upper or front zones (lower or rear).
- the choice of the significant point must be made in order to maximize the discrimination of the actions of the actuator on the different logical zones of detection.
- An advantage of capacitive solutions lies in the small thickness of the sensors allowing their integration into systems such as mobile phones ( Figures 21 and 22).
- Resistive technologies make it possible to create equivalent sensitive areas, the differences being mainly related to the force required to activate the sensitive zone, which is non-zero in resistive technology, which will slow down the designation and validation of objects, zero with the capacitive, which may result in involuntary activations.
- This bracelet is provided with detection means (22) by waves (luminous, infrared ...) characteristics and positions of the fingers of the user.
- the values of the distances D dolgt and angles ⁇ finger allow, according to parameters predefined by the user, to identify the areas of the virtual keyboard that are activated.
- CCD charge-coupled device
- charge-coupled device sensors which are used to delimit volumes of the space corresponding to the different zones mentioned above, can be used. and to create analyzable images of the presence and positions of the different fingers.
- the user places a finger, or a hand, in the volume corresponding to the logical zone that he wants to activate to designate a combination and activate a desired object.
- the present invention also applies when the sensitive areas are created on a touch screen according to the state of the art. In the general case, these touch screens are not currently manufactured to accept multiple support, (“multitouch”) although this is quite possible, as for the realization with touchpad technologies described above.
- Figure 3 illustrates an exemplary implementation of the invention.
- a cursor intelligent proposes a grid (31) representing the virtual keyboard and in which the different zones to be activated are designated by the stylus (32) to produce the desired object (here the box "right rear” has been designated, in order to produce the letter "U” according to the table of Figure 5.
- the present invention also applies when the detection zone is virtual, for example when the logic zones are simulated by a computer to interact with an electronic pointer, mouse type, which is then the single actor handled, in successive or slipped mode. , by the hand of the user, which can be remote from the screen without any other device than the current equipment of a computer and software to install to emulate the keyboard of the system.
- this virtual realization will be advantageously cumulative with realizations of sensitive areas placed under the fingers, in particular so as to facilitate the cognitive transition of the user of the HMIs dominant graphics with pointer to the use of the additional HMI where the movement of the fingers is sufficient to designate and validate a computer object, presented in the symbolic representation which in fact realizes a conventional virtual control device.
- This tactile and kinesthetic capacity is particularly optimized with embodiment 1.
- the only two positions (FIG. 4, (a) and (b)) of the fingertips with the bouncing surface give rise to distinct sensations of the fingertips which allow the brain of the user to know, before raising the fingers, if they are well positioned where they must be to designate a given combination.
- the fingertips is extremely sensitive and makes it possible to differentiate between two very close positions of the finger, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
- This information is reinforced by differentiated embodiments, possibly with vibration generators. surfaces of different sensitive areas assigned to the same finger, possibly creating a sensitive border, like a hollow of separation, and by the kinesthetic sensation of the angles of the phalanges.
- This good tactile feedback possible with the realization 1 will allow users to reach faster the reflex mode where the conscious brain is no longer required to control the movements of the fingers, which frees the user's attention from seizure and achieves faster, after less time of use, the maximum speed allowed by the intrinsic velocity capacity of the fingers of the hand of the user (up to fifteen strokes (cycles) per second for a virtuoso pianist or flutist at three to five for a person with little agile fingers).
- tactile and kinesthetic abilities of the human hand and brain do not prevent the director of a DED according to the invention from providing an echo presentation of the position of the fingers, for example in the form of a tactile range of zones. active in correspondence with the sensitive zones of the DED, or an audio or visual echo, according to the interactive guidance modes before validation of the combinations mentioned below.
- the DED When the DED is made to be activated by three fingers, the DED must have at least the width of the central finger and half of the left and right fingers, plus two movement spaces, which, according to the persons, is a minimum total width. can go down to 30 mm.
- one of the important characteristics of the invention is that, since the sensitive zones of a main zone assigned to a finger are only very rarely logically activated together, it is sufficient that the zone main detects that the actuator is rather ahead or rather behind to distinguish the two cases. Pressing / Activating simultaneously two zones of a main zone with the same finger is equivalent to creating a third zone between the two and requires more precaution to avoid bad support compared to what is targeted and thus slows down action and increases the necessary surfaces, but this may be a preferable compromise, in some cases and with certain technologies. In all cases, these simultaneous supports by the same finger of several zones must remain limited to the few cases (not more than 10), easy to do by the fingers.
- a DED according to the invention can thus go down to a few millimeters.
- the counterpart of a low height is that one can not go as fast as with heights more dimensioned, for fear of being outside the detectable zone. But this can be a very interesting compromise in mobile and discreet situations.
- the DED according to embodiment 1 can be a very compact tool while being powerful (36 base but up to 108 combinations possible in a single action cycle of the fingers).
- the decrease in size then translates by a certain decrease in possible speeds but without falling below the writing speed with the other known means on moving objects.
- another embodiment consists in defining five main zones: three identical to the embodiment defined above (91) for the three nimble fingers, a main zone (92) associated with the thumb and a main zone (93) associated with the auricular.
- the main area of the thumb has five logical sensitive areas (94) for six states and the small finger area comprises two (95) for three states.
- these two additional main zones as "modifying" keys, (such as Shift or Ctrl or Alt on conventional keyboards)
- This type of realization considerably increases the number of possible combinations in a single action cycle of the fingers, exceeding the constraints discussed above in the description of embodiment 1, which allows to go to processes "Simultaneous", without order, so much faster and favoring the achievement of the reflex mode, additional factor of speed.
- the constraint is reported on size, with Type 2 achievements being inherently larger than Type 1 designs.
- the minimum size is then that of a credit card, the thumb and the little finger being obliged to enter a little on hand.
- the comfortable size is then that of a diary, for example 70 mm x 110 mm. Objects for use on a table would reach the A5 format.
- the technologies are a priori the same as for the realization 1, with a greater importance of the "pointer" function, single or multiple.
- the realization would tend to make the five main zones contiguous and together make a kind of graphic tablet, as shown in Figure 10.
- mice augmented with a type 2 embodiment poses the problem of involuntary movement of the mouse during the input operations.
- the solutions mentioned above are sufficient.
- the pointing device may also advantageously no longer be a mouse but a touchpad or other solution where it is an actuator that moves and not the entire DED.
- the main zones associated with the thumb (92) and the little finger (93) allow, according to a conceptual angle of arrangement of the available raw combinations and according to their combination, to modify the active table of 36, 33, 30 or 26 boxes whose objects are designatable by a combination of three nimble fingers.
- band being the whole, of 26, 30, 33 or 36, (portable at 50 or 108 for the processes "Advanced” and “Tritap") objects designatable by a combination of the fingers agile on a realization of type 1 discussed above, for given thumb and atrial positions.
- the inches and auricular zones are then in a Shift, Ctrl, Alt, AItGr, Fn, Win or Apple ...
- the role of the zones affected to the thumb and the little finger is preferentially seen for reasons of mental identification by the user and to allow the functioning of the arborescent guidance like that of rotation of band and table, it is naturally affected to the combination particular using only one finger acting alone on one of the areas thumb or little finger a box useful for storing frequently used objects. This defines a second role for these sensitive areas of the thumb or the little finger. To promote the production of these objects, like the space character, it can be set to add it to the activated object by the validation of the nimble fingers, when the thumb or small finger area is deactivated at the same time.
- the space is added automatically by the single thumb reading simultaneously with the validation of the last letter of a word, the thumb having been previously placed on the zone calling a band of lowercase or uppercase letters and associated with a box where the space is.
- band or table rotation commands can be placed as objects in boxes of boxes. a band, calling small internal computer programs to the device DED.
- These objects internal to the DED control rotation of bands or tables are particularly useful when you are in a situation of type 1 with only 36 boxes available or accessible because of a reduced number of available actuators.
- These rotations of tables or bands may, according to the state of the art, be either temporary for a combination to follow, or locked until a different order of table rotation puts an end to the active role held by the table or the called band.
- These small programs can be very flexible objects allowing for example to lock the called table or band by leaving the finger or fingers that called the band and unlock it by returning to the previous band when the finger or fingers are raised, which recreates in a way the classical combinatorial use of capital type.
- the rotation between two bands or tables is performed automatically by the detection of a new application context. For example, if the DED is used for entering text into a word processing application, switching to an Excel spreadsheet application (business name) will make it useful to change the tape so that it can be quickly named. functions and commands specific to this context.
- the embodiment will advantageously cause the five main zones to produce together a kind of graphic tablet, as illustrated by FIG. 10.
- the continuous lines indicate the limits of the five independent main zones (100 to 104).
- the device then comprises means making it possible to interpret the sliding of an actuator on the detection zones such as the sliding of an electronic pointer of the computer mouse type.
- the means are of the software type for interpreting the coordinates transmitted by the sensor module to convert them in displacement of a pointer in a computer system. This allows in particular to pass quickly without moving the hand significantly from a data entry mode to that of electronic pointer and vice versa.
- each main zone corresponds to a part of the screen on which is available the pointer device or a pointer device specific to each part of the screen defined in this way.
- This solution allows in particular to move very quickly from one part of the screen to another without having to slide its actuator from one end of the screen to the other, or manage and come and go between several sliders independent devices that manage multiple tasks in one or more documents or windows.
- all the main zones form a single super zone in a mode of use of the mouse.
- the mouse function is implemented on means, such as joystick, or touchpad, juxtaposed to the sensitive detection areas of the device.
- the DED is naturally installed on the upper part of a mouse made according to the state of the art, ultra dominant pointing system.
- the simplest solution, but not necessarily adapted to mobile contexts, to implement the object of the invention is indeed to place conventional keys on the top of a mouse according to the state of the art and FIGS.
- FIG. 23a corresponds to the installation of an embodiment of type 1, FIG. 23b and 23c to the installation of embodiments of type 2.
- the embodiment 23a is naturally ambidextrous, the three main zones left, middle and right, remaining as they are, regardless of the fingers that support them. Achievements 23b and 23c are also ambidextrous, with a permutation of the areas affected to the thumb and the little finger.
- Fig. 11 illustrates the production of an object according to the present invention.
- the user designates (interactive designation guided or not) (112) a combination of logical areas using one to three of his three nimble fingers, for example if each of the three fingers is in the "front" position on its main zone, the combination indicates the box containing the letter "Y”.
- the user then performs a validation operation (114) that activates the object (115).
- the creation process is the following sequence: 110: the user determines in thought what object he wishes to produce;
- the user verifies that he has designated the desired object, and sometimes uses additional information (117, for example a small bubble or informative label displaying the functionality of the object when it is designated, at the like bubbles of information that are activated on computers when the mouse cursor is positioned on a button of Word _ commercial name) and presented to him to comfort him;
- additional information 117, for example a small bubble or informative label displaying the functionality of the object when it is designated, at the like bubbles of information that are activated on computers when the mouse cursor is positioned on a button of Word _ commercial name
- 115 the object designated and validated is thus activated; 116: a feedback (for example a letter written on the display screen or vocal or tactile echo) allows the user to check the result.
- a feedback for example a letter written on the display screen or vocal or tactile echo
- SYMBOLIC PRESENTATION it is also a question of presenting the information on the display screen (or any other means of presentation) even when the device is in use.
- Means make it possible to symbolically display on the screen the active band and the means (that is to say the sensitive areas to form the combinations) to activate each of the elements of the band.
- the compact symbolic presentation consists of a map of 36 or fewer cells divided into 6 large areas symbolized themselves as checkers of 6 boxes (some of which may be not filled by an illustration).
- the activation of a first sensitive area will trigger a display with only the 6 boxes that were in the large area of the map, then after activation of the second sensitive area, the indication of sensitive areas activated and the only icon corresponding to the contents of the box thus designated. Thanks to the timed forget, the deactivation of a zone makes return the visualization back.
- This presentation of the tape itself is complemented by a presentation that updates the objects presented during a triggered rotation of the tape, for example, by the action on a logical zone of modification (thumb and / or auricular) , or any other cause as mentioned above.
- the user has activated an outside thumb zone and the front middle zone and the four possible choices are the letters i, j, k, 1 of the Latin alphabet letter strip selected.
- the components can be represented, according to the state of the art of the graphical and tree HMIs, by icons illustrating groups of combinations (other bands for example) rather that the set of icons of each combination, each icon, when designated, can be explained by a text label, according to the state of the art.
- cursives can be considered as a production alphabet: each sign corresponds to a combination.
- This handwriting which is initially a variant of the representation of the positions of the fingers on the sensitive areas, turns out to be very simple to produce in handwritten form, either linked cursively, or slipped or pointed in a pre-existing grid, and is also easy to recognize because it is composed of simple, easily distinguishable elements for a simple handwriting recognition device.
- an optical pencil of some diodes or equivalent would easily detect the successions of upper and lower sticks with respect to the beginning and the end of the central trace.
- the vectors and the points are very easy to draw, then, in real time or a posteriori, detect, identify and relate to the models associated with the 36 basic combinations. Up to 6 upper and lower accents are easy to identify as well and allow to define a set of basic signs, excluding commands to change reference tables, up to 216 possibilities.
- a graphic tablet or touch screen system and recognition software can easily do these treatments, while they are struggling to recognize beyond 95% of the signs of a current handwriting or even simplified .
- the symbolic representation according to FIG. 13 can be advantageously made equivalent to that of a virtual keyboard according to the state of the art, where the pointer and the click make it possible to designate successively remotely, with or without zones. material sensitive, then validate the combinations according to the method of the invention.
- the nature, size, importance and permanence of the symbolic presentation will be advantageously adjustable. We can thus distinguish several configurable levels:
- a level for example at the cursor point where only the sign or command ready to be validated is displayed, and possibly changed according to the exploration before validation or cancellation, according to Figure 3;
- the presentation software visually highlights the logical areas that are turned on and off as the novice user interacts with the DED. This emphasis is fundamental for beginners to know what they have already done to go to the desired box and content object.
- This highlighting is done according to the chosen representation. For example, the highlighting will be done either in the form of successive screens (sequence of figures 13, 14 and 15) or highlighting the group of boxes sharing the activated area and the designated box before validation and eventual withdrawal or abandonment , the displayed band being changed according to the state or the activation of a modification logical zone (FIGS. 16 and 17).
- FIG. 16 and 17 In a representation according to FIG.
- highlighting enabled keys can be done by adding indexes of different colors in the grids and highlighting what is designated. The different colors can make it possible to distinguish among all the keys that are activated physically, those that are validly according to the active process, and those that are not, because prohibited.
- the presentation can only become active when a timer (tempo4) has elapsed from the designation of a first logic zone, the flow of this delay being interpreted as a hesitation of the part of the user.
- the presentation is then proposed as an aid, according to the modalities set by the user, advantageously by bringing together several bands or zoom.
- the representation may fade, either just after the validation, or after a delay (tempo3) and pass in the background of the active window, allowing the action of the pointer, and return to the foreground only when the a sensitive zone is activated, either immediately for the beginner or after the parameterizable delay (tempo4) mentioned above.
- the visual presentation can not be constituted as such, in graphic block in addition, This forces a certain visual shuttle between areas of the screen, and hides more or less depending on the transparency rate chosen for the interactive graphic representation, which is below, but be associated with the existing presentation of the available commands.
- the symbolic symbolic representations, finger positions can be contiguous permanently or dynamically next to the icons and fixed or dropdown menus and different choices. In this way, the beginner sees as he practices the old way how he can again use only the movement of his fingers to activate a command.
- the visual presentation is a solution but not unique.
- the presentation in the absence of a screen, which corresponds to an advantageous use of the DEDs in social or movement situations or other observation activities, the presentation can be done under vocal or tactile form.
- the sensitive areas are each associated with a pin that acts on the skin when the sensitive area is activated, either statically once or vibrating.
- This tactile presentation is also interesting to present information of any type when neither a screen nor a listener are possible, technically or socially.
- This tactile presentation could be, in a particular embodiment, associated with a wristwatch or bracelet containing the heart of a dematerialized DED (FIG. 2).
- the DED may "forget" the logical zone designated by error as soon as a duration greater than the time delay (tempo2) previously defined in the different simultaneous reading processes has elapsed that the user has raised his finger from the wrong zone, provided that there is always a sensitive area assigned to an agile finger that is physically activated, which may require physically activate another area assigned to an agile finger before raising the finger with a wrong position.
- This possibility provides the user with an accessible exploratory learning and also offers a reassuring error tolerance for the beginner.
- a cancellation function is possible.
- the active band or the band without thumb or little finger of the active table has at least one combination associated with this empty object or NuIl, created as a function internal to the cancellation DED.
- this empty object or NuIl created as a function internal to the cancellation DED.
- the special combination of support of the 6 keys assigned to the three nimble fingers or more generally, an easy combination of construction by moving the fingers according to the process of forgetting.
- the user by designating this object, by using the mechanisms of correction, hesitation and forgetting described above, then by validating it, produces no object.
- This feature of the invention avoids the user to have to correct the result of an untimely activation, often easy with modern software but not always, and most of the time expensive in time and pace of work.
- this NuIl function simultaneously performs the resetting of the memories containing information on modifiers and locks of all types in particular positions, thus causing the return to a well known and unambiguous reference position and difference between what the user believes and what the system knows.
- the present invention also relates to means of correction, disambiguation, prediction and completion which are implemented on the DED.
- Two aspects can be considered: the finger-detection aspect and the semantic aspect of what is grasped.
- the device comprises means, hardware, by construction and parameterization sensitivities, possibly software, correction of typing errors, including very short strikes and without forces (flicking).
- the sensitive zones of the same main zone are almost totally exclusive to each other, except, in certain cases, for actions that are not done very quickly. Therefore, if the actuator acts inadvertently on two zones, the system gives priority to the first one which is touched, and in the case of a simultaneous touch, to that where the force or the surface, according to the technologies, are the biggest.
- the sensitive areas adapted to the invention do not need, as keys of a conventional keyboard, to make them exceed a threshold of displacement and provide a feeling of collapse of resistance, and are on the contrary low or no displacement, weak or no force. Indeed, on the one hand the fingers that gallop several shots per second would be slowed by these movements and forces, other by the fact that the movements of the fingers are simple there is no need to discriminate between the desired touch and its neighbors, almost constantly touched touching typing fingers moving on important surfaces.
- software means store this data (delicate object-object2-linking for this user) and provide means for landing and anticipating (thus predicting and correcting) the errors: when the first object is produced, the logical zones associated with the second object can be enlarged to the detriment of those of the third object, to facilitate the production of this second object.
- Another way to reduce errors is to propose two-finger processes without order. This is possible, as mentioned above when you enter text and significant words in a given language.
- the principle is called disambiguation and was made famous by the T9 technique of the Tegic company. It consists in not asking the user to produce exact letters but simply producing a code associated with two (Suretype) or three / four (T9 or iTap) or six letters (Tengo) and leaving the software and its vocabulary tables, remove ambiguities by proposing syllables or words that the user only has to choose instead of typing them, which is not always advantageous with existing systems.
- each of the eighteen possible combinations can only correspond to two distinct arrangements by the typing order of the same two keys, for example the "C”. and the "P" according to Figure 7, which corresponds to a weak linguistic ambiguity, easy to deal with.
- a radical or a single word will very often be the only possibility.
- the prior art also knows semantic prediction and completion means based on the dictionaries and the most frequent sentences of the user, in particular implemented in mobile phones.
- the DED offers semantic suggestions to the user based on, for example, objects immediately entered, a syntactic and semantic analysis of the beginning of the sentence entered, the context (software) in which the DED is used. .
- the active band presented on the screen contains empty boxes, or boxes containing objects without use at this time, it is modified to present to the user one or more objects (word, portion of sentence, command ... ) proposed as and when by the semantic or language prediction.
- an optional band is created with one or more of these new objects and presented to the user at a favorable location on the screen. This is particularly the case in Figure 19 which presents three nominable proposals following the entry of the beginning of word "Per”.
- This modified or created band is presented, visually or by any other means, to the user, if he so desires.
- the latter can actually produce the desired object faster if it is part of the suggestions, while often with conventional systems, selecting a suggestion is slower than finishing typing the letters of the intended word, without count that if he looks at his keys the user does not see the suggestion very early.
- the suggested objects are presented in the boxes of a large domino or nested dominoes so that the selection of the preferred object is done by a similar action of the fingers to that of the production of the elementary objects remaining to be added to reach a word or phrase that is semantically correct and adapted to the thought desired by the user.
- This presentation is of interest because the user of a DED according to the invention never looks at his hands or the DED, is trained to interpret the symbolic representations mimeetically and produces them quickly. This compact and easily designatable presentation applies to standard words or phrases.
- the symbolic presentation may relate to strips where the sentences are represented by icons that select display the sentence and then produce it as a block when the corresponding combination is validated.
- This method makes sense with the invention because the user can keep his eyes on the screen and call at will strips of particular and personal objects.
- text production is greatly accelerated and corresponds to the contexts of Instant Messaging or SMS.
- the device comprises software modules for managing the steps and mechanisms previously described. This makes it possible in particular to offer a parametering interface to the user according to his aspirations:
- tempoO in pure Bitap mode, defines the time available for the user to move the single actuator from the first sensitive zone to the second
- the DED device (120) is connected by a wired connection (122) (USB cable, network cable) or a non-wired connection (123) (Infra ⁇ red, Bluetooth, Wifi, RF ...), to the equipment (121) to enter data.
- a wired connection (122) USB cable, network cable
- a non-wired connection (123) Infra ⁇ red, Bluetooth, Wifi, RF Certainly
- the DED comprises software means making it possible to implement the method described in the present invention and to communicate with the equipment to which it is connected.
- the equipment includes software means and can communicate with the DED and interpret the data sent to perform an action for example.
- the user who wishes to perform an action on the equipment in question produces using the DED the combination corresponding to the desired action.
- the DED transmits to the equipment some data that is interpreted by the equipment to produce the action. According to the possibilities of installing programs and of storing tables implementing the invention, or of accessing the presentation means of the equipment, a greater or lesser part, possibly zero, of the method according to the invention will be performed in the equipment, and the DED will achieve what can not be done by this equipment.
- DEDs can concurrently control the same equipment.
- This system has certain advantages: for one person but also for several people working or playing together by sharing only a local or duplicated screen and applications, each being able to intervene in his place while easily watching what is happening pass on the common screen.
- the use of DED according to the invention brings significant advantages, in particular the fact that only one hand is requested for, both the seizures, the controls and the device of the invention. score.
- Another advantage is that the possible physical positions for the participants are more comfortable and more varied (less need for tables, standing and moving possible, etc.) and that users do not need to look even stealthily the keyboard, can focus on what's shows on the common screen or in the attentive overall listening of the one who expresses himself.
- a special case concerns the case where two DEDs, possibly of different architectures, are connected and handled by each of the two hands of the same user (user 2 of FIG. 12), thus involving up to 10 actuators.
- This configuration which will only concern users who are already experts in both hands, makes it possible, particularly but not necessarily, to make the strikes of two successive signs completely independent, whereas on conventional two-handed keyboards the independence is less than 80%. .
- the DED can also be an independent device having its own calculation means (interpretation software for the sensor, table management software, etc.) and possibly means for presenting the object produced by the user: own display screen, for example fixed on the back of the hand that acts on the DED, external display screen, sound presentation means (voice synthesizer, speaker, earphones, ear buds ...), tactile presentation means. ..
- the DED can be part of a client-server architecture.
- the DED comprises sensitive detection means (sensors), presentation means (a screen, a loudspeaker), means of communication with a network (for example, Wifi, GSM or UMTS).
- a network for example, Wifi, GSM or UMTS.
- the DED is only a human interface. Machine and application services of the process are deported to a server connected to the network. This DED can be either personal or trivialized, or specific to a given location and context, depending on the state of the art of the terminals.
- the personalization data (structure of the bands, dimensioning of the sensitive zones, etc.) are stored on the server and only the coordinates of the actuators determined through the sensor (s) are transmitted to the server.
- the use in real time that is to say a fluid use compared to the production of a normal user, can be feasible on current high-performance communication networks (GPRS, WiFi, UMTS ).
- the user's parameters and adapted programs are temporarily installed in the DED terminal, according to the state of the art of the terminals and the servers.
- the DED is connected at least to a display screen possibly via a computer.
- the display screen makes it possible to enrich the DED with modules that are useful for learning and using this combinational data entry device. Variations even more favorable for use in situations of mobility, would associate to the DED a voice synthesis and an audio presentation via a listener, much less intrusive than a screen vis-à-vis third parties.
- the least intrusive being the tactile presentation on a large enough skin surface, for example under the wrist in a bracelet possibly associated with the heart of the detection device, according to Figure 2.
- EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENT DED INTEGRATED INTO A PORTABLE TELEPHONE.
- a particular application of the DED concerns mobile phones that are becoming more and more terminals and therefore need a Man Machine Interface that goes beyond the twelve historical keys, the cursor movement manager and the "entry” and “entry” keys. exhaust ".
- the DED banner has the width of the phone and a centimeter of height. It can be used in Bitap, Dragged, Successitap, Tritap, Simultap, Mixed and Advanced, depending on whether the user has one hand or two hands to hold and operate his device.
- the DED makes it possible to realize and accelerate all the actions of the HMI of a telephone.
- the strip (210) is used in slipped mode. For this purpose, sliding (211) between the two boxes “left front” and “middle front” produces the letter "B" (grammar of Figure 5).
- the multi-touchpad covers all or part of the non-screen surface of the phone.
- Conventional keys are represented on the surface and can be active by simple software switchover.
- DED mode by simple addition of software, it allows the uses of embodiment 1 plus a four or five fingers use, right hand or left hand and the use of a mouse.
- the manufacturer can notably significantly increase the already frequent, according to the state of the art, universal wireless remote control features of his phone, currently limited and slow due to the constraints of conventional mobile object keyboards. With a DED according to the invention, the phone can then really act very powerful and fast on all electronic objects worn by the person and those he meets.
- the DED is an electronic object that communicates with external means. When they are not passive and can dialogue with the DED and control what it transmits, it is advantageous to include in the electronic system DED means for authentication of the DED and User Identification dialoguing with these external means according to processes that can not, according to the state of the art, question the user.
- the DED can integrate a security chip by which the DED can pass when it receives particular requests after or before inserting information entered by the user.
- the way of moving the fingers can characterize quite a given person.
- the system can add, in an automated way, without soliciting the user, regular checks on the identity of the user. current user. This new solution would be juxtaposed, for security issues defined by the ad hoc managers, traditional requests for information capture that the user is deemed alone know and protect disclosure, or finger-laying on a biometric reader .
- the DED By integrating the means of authentication and identification of a person in a personal DED that transports and uses this person for his own reasons, the objects, called “Token” by the state of the art, are made much more comfortable to use.
- the DED according to the invention makes it much easier to significantly increase the security on networks and mobiles, that is to say to go beyond the only combination “login” + “password” which the well-known weaknesses do not prevent, because of the heavy constraints of Token (they force to wear a specific object for interruptive use) that they remain dominant.
