The disclosed invention pertains to a full-time
wearable input device for entering information into an
electronic device. More particularly, the invention uses an
input device which is attached to the base of the fingers of
the hand. The input device senses the typing action of the
fingertip on any physical surface and converts that typing
action into useful information.
Representative claim 26 is reproduced as follows:
26. A full-time wearable input device for generating
input information associated with striking a physical surface
with fingertips, said full-time wearable input device
comprising:
a shock detecting means, positioned at the base of a
finger, for detecting a shock generated and transmitted
through the finger when the fingertip of the finger strikes
the physical surface, and for outputting a detection signal
including a predetermined frequency component generated when
the fingertip of the finger mounted with said shock detecting
means strikes the physical surface; and
an analyzing means for analyzing a presence or absence of
the predetermined frequency component and timing information
of the fingertip striking the physical surface, the analysis
based on the detection signal outputted from said shock
