发明名称 ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY OF TOUCH-SENSITIVE INPUT PERIPHERALS FOR VOTER DATA ENTRY IN ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEMS
摘要 The invention consists of a new technology of grid design applicable to data entry electronic membranes or “electronic pads”, said design comprised of touch-sensitive sections having augmented areas, such areas being considerably larger than what has been usual in the prior art; thus when an electronic pad employing this technology connects to a voting machine, it becomes a convenient data entry peripheral for entering voting selections, depicting the available electoral options which are pre-printed on a paper sheet or template overlaying the membranes, thus mimicking a traditional voting means based on a paper ballot, and where the sensitive areas are ample enough, easy to press upon with a finger; and when any one touch-sensitive area corresponding to a preferred candidate or option is pressed, an adjacent LED indicator unique per each option is turned on, confirming the selection just made and guaranteeing high accuracy.
