BRAILLE INPUT DEVICE OF ONE-HAND CHORDING GLOVE TYPE FOR BLIND PERSON WITH CONTACT POINT ATTACHED TO EACH KNUCKLE

摘要

PURPOSE: A Braille input device of a one-hand chording glove type for a blind person with a contact point attached to each knuckle is provided to enable the blind persons to conveniently carry the input device and maximize portability by using a glove shape, and enable the blind person to input the Braille with only the motion of a finger. CONSTITUTION: A circular copper tape is adhered to each surface corresponding to 12 contact points(S1-S12) attached to the outside of a glove and a thumb contact point(SG) on the last knuckle of the thumb, and is coated by conductive silicone ink. The conductive silicone ink fixes the circular copper plate and a wire connected to the circular copper plate, and widens an area of the contact point. The wire connected to each contact point is connected to a connector on a controller as a key scan code. Each contact point and the contact point of the thumb play a role of a switch.
