摘要

The present invention concerns a device for inputting data in a digital appliance, which device comprises a control panel (1) upon which is provided an electronic selection screen (2) with a group of symbols (15) in a number of fields (12), and a base plate (4) with contact points which can be shifted parallel to the rows (13) and the columns (14) of the electronic selection screen 82) until they are situated above a contact point (5, 6) in the extension of a selected row (13) or column (14). The contact points (5, 6) situated under the selection elements (8, 9) then make contact, or light signals are processed via optical encoders (39). Further, there are a number of additional pressure contacts (7) which can be manually operated.
