| 54 | Hand-held finger movement actuated communication devices and systems employing such devices | US105597 | 1987-10-08 | US4905001A | 1990-02-27 | Henry C. Penner |
| Disclosed are various forms of hand-held communication devices which serve as alternatives to a keyboard and which, in addition, allow the user to receive communications via the sense of touch. Although not so limited, the device is well-adapted for use by persons who are speechless, deaf and speechless, or even blind, deaf and speechless. The present invention provides particularly compact and efficient finger movement actuated communication devices for individually responding to thrust and push motions of at least one finger of a person's hand. Thus, each finger can operate two switch elements, and the four fingers of a person's hand can operate eight switch elements in predetermined combinations suitable, for example, for communication in a binary code. In a first disclosed embodiment, a handle-like body supports eight switch actuators arranged as four pairs, with each of the pairs corresponding to a particular finger. The two switch actuators are positioned for selective activation by distal and proximal segments of a single finger. In a second disclosed embodiment, four switch actuators are provided for actuation by the fleshly portions of a person's fingertips. Each of the switch actuators supports two distinct types of movement, pushing and sliding, and corresponding operate a pair of switch elements. In a third disclosed embodiment, collar-like rings are worn about the proximal and middle segments of the user's hand. Relative motion between the collar-like rings and a wrist harnass is sensed in order to respond to thrust and push motions of the fingers. | ||||||
| 55 | Hand movement controller | US772112 | 1985-09-03 | US4650934A | 1987-03-17 | Patrick G. Burke |
| A hand movement controller is described which permits a variety of control functions to be performed by single left or right handed operation, and is particularly suitable for handicapped persons. The controller comprises a base which is generally wedge-shaped in side elevation with a sloping top surface on which is located a movable palm support on which the hand rests. One or two rows of keys are symmetrically spaced about the front edge of the palm support for engagement by the fingers of the hand. The distance between the movable palm support and keys is adjustable so that it can support the fingers to permit them to pivot freely about the knuckles with minimal strain over a prolonged period of time. The spacing of the row or rows of keys about the palm support is designed to optimize reaction time for fast operation. In a preferred embodiment an outer row of five keys and an inner row of three keys are used and permit control of movement in three dimensions. The palm support can be moulded from a plastic thermoplastic material to be custom suited to the individual. | ||||||

| A user input device, e.g., a wireless keyboard, for providing user inputs to a receiver unit via a communications medium intermittently transmits diagnostic messages in the communications medium such that a diagnostic message is transmitted after a predetermined interval following transmission of a preceding diagnostic message has expired. A receiver unit is responsive to the communications medium and configured to receive the transmitted diagnostic message and process the received diagnostic message to determine a status of the user input device. Preferably, the user input device is configured to transmit a diagnostic message following at least one of passage of a predetermined fixed time interval after a diagnostic message was previously transmitted from the user input device and acceptance of a predetermined number of user inputs at the user input device after a diagnostic message was previously transmitted from the user input device. | ||||||
