A method of training a student to type on a keyboard which has features that help the student avoid hunting and pecking. During training, a student is instructed to look at sample text and copy it by typing on a keyboard. The output of the student's keystrokes is displayed on a monitor. One feature sets a limited time period in which to type each keystroke. Another feature hides the display. The features may be used in combination.
43 Training device US11106544 2005-04-15 US07412883B2 2008-08-19 Robert Leonard Krullaards
Device for detecting a pressure force exerted by a human muscle. If a sensor measures that a defined force is exceeded, a signal is emitted. This signal is used to indicate to the relevant person that he needs to modify his behavior. To determine the teaching effect of this signal, it is proposed for these signals to be stored in a memory and for the stored values to read out after a certain time and compared with more recent signals. The device can be used, inter alia, in a writing instrument which measures both the gripping force on the writing instrument and the writing pressure.

A finger detector is worn on a finger of a player. When a key on a keyboard is pressed down, a pressure sensor of the finger detector sends a pressure detection signal to a PC main body, and the finger used to press down the key is detected based on the signal. When it is determined that an improper finger is used to press down the key, a beep sound is generated from a speaker.

A learning keyboard with a mode for QWERTY or other key pattern keyboards that the position of the operators fingers are tracked and supper imposed on a display, so the operator can see when their finger is over the correct keyboard indicia so correct data entry can be made without looking at the keyboard.
47 Method of self-expression to learn keyboarding US551935 1995-10-23 US5655910A 1997-08-12 Farideh Troudet
Educational devices using process-oriented methods are disclosed to prepare pre-school/school children, and teenagers for keyboarding. The devices include dual sets of hand/digit/phalange representations with indicia mounted thereon to provide pictorial and/or alphanumeric representations of a keyboard of arbitrary form and content. Such representations with indicia are adaptive to the growth and development, and preferences of the learner whether in the form of wearable devices embodied as gloves/digit-portions/rings, or non-wearable devices embodied as software-generated screen-displayed images, or as hardware implementations spanning planar and three-dimensional structures. The methods include a synergistic use of said representation with indicia through a curricular process where the student is given the opportunity to acquire psycho-motor skills needed for keyboarding while simultaneously learning the alphabet and the numbers, reading/writing and arithmetic, and self-expression through story-telling in various languages. Visual-motor memorization of the indicia on the wearable representations is enabled by the novel "Finger-Thumb Focused Touch" approach which self-empowers any individual, literate/illiterate, to learn reading, writing, or typing, away from the keyboard while walking, dancing, lying, or sitting, adaptive to one's age/condition/culture. This method of learning is further reinforced through game activities with the indicia of non-wearable hand/digit/phalange representations, and associative aids. The development of sensory-motor/mental associations between hands, digits, indicia, and characters, is further reinforced through the use of aids connected to keys mounted at the indicia on the representations.

Educational devices using process-oriented educational methods are disclosed to prepare pre-school children, school children, and teenagers for keyboarding. The devices include sets of gloves and indicia applied to the fingers of the gloves to provide pictorial and alphanumeric representations of the computer keyboard. The visual and tactile memorization of the glove images are complemented by auditory and associative memorization provided by a story-telling educational method. Synergistic use of the gloves in the context of supervised story-telling also trains the pre-school children to develop and practice both lateral and vertical thinking skills.sup.1-2, thus preparing them for coping creatively with the inherent hardware/software limitations of computers. The memorization of the alphanumeric representation of the computer keyboard is reinforced through synergistic use of the gloves in a variety of activities including learning the alphabet, learning word-spelling, and learning languages. To best fit the psychology of teenagers, sets of picture-rings and medallion-rings are disclosed to specifically prepare that age-group for keyboarding. A process-oriented method based on the aforementioned devices is disclosed to facilitate the self-expression of children and/or help towards a more healthy communication and healing (therapy). A process-oriented method based on the aforementioned devices is disclosed to assist in the learning of the alphabet and the numbers, and in the learning of languages and scientific disciplines (arithmetic, mathematics, physics, chemistry, medical sciences, etc.). The functionality of the aforementioned devices and the efficiency of the aforementioned educational methods are enhanced through a highly integrated device disclosed under the term "keygloves" in analogy with the term "keyboard", since the "keygloves" extends the power of the "keyboard" to the very hands of the learner/user..sup.1 De Bono, E.: "How To Change Ideas", Seminar Cassettes, London, 1973..sup.2 Troudet, F.: "Can Creativity Be Taught?", Cleveland State University, Cleveland, Ohio, December 1988.

52 Environmentally safe touch typing keyboard US166906 1993-12-15 US5378069A 1995-01-03 James H. Bowen
A keyboard that has two adjacent rows of emitters opposed by two adjacent rows of detectors that is environmentally sealed and has no moving parts. This said keyboard has a field changeable coded indicia so a scan pattern, ambient reference level or other application specific variables can be changed without breaking the environmental seal or powering down the keyboard. Further, the different said scan patterns can include scanning the finger position by multiple emitter detector pairs at angles other than ninety degrees to give a cross check on detection. These said scan patterns can be further optimized to scan angled sets of keys and to adjust to different ambient light conditions so errors can be detected by the emitter detector pair closest to detection of a finger. Also another said scan pattern can include, that both emitter detector pairs before and after the detected finger position must show a no finger detection condition to be a valid finger detection. This said keyboard can also use one value of feedback gain to check ambient light and a different value to detect a finger by the same detectors scanning the keyboard.
