3D SENSITIVE PLATE

摘要

A 3D sensitive plate as an element of a universal controller for the devices controlled by means of a visible feedback is used for a three-dimensional data entry. The 3D sensitive plate detects the medium touch location in co-ordinates and the force of the medium pressure. The universal controller with a 3D sensitive plate according to the invention combines and upgrades the functions of a conventional keyboard, a pointing device, e.g. a mouse, graphic tablets, TV remote controls and remote controls for manipulators, i.e. robots, as an input, i.e. entry, unit for computers. A basis of the device is a basic sensitive plate (1) with scanning sensors (7, 8, 9) and a control unit (6). The scanning sensors (7, 8, 9) are arranged between the basic sensitive plate (1) and a pad (63). The device detects and recognises the medium touch location and the force of the medium pressure and thus guarantees the execution of various activities on the basic sensitive plate (1): commands with hand movements, three-dimensional positioning, typing, freehand drawing, writing and shorthand writing. At the same time, it provides feedback through the shuttle (5) on the screen (3).
