A remote commander wherein a user can confirm operation of an operation key after such operation has a touch panel operating section including a display device for displaying an image of a plurality of operation keys thereon and an operation detecting device for detecting, when one of the operation keys displayed on the display device is depressed, the thus depressed operation key. Upon such detection of the depressed operation key, the display device is controlled to display part or all of a display portion of the depressed operation key in a flickering condition for a predetermined period of time after completion of such depression of the operation key. An infrared ray command signal corresponding to such depressed operation key is sent out to a remote object appliance to operate the object appliance. |

The invention consists of a new technology of grid design applicable to data entry electronic membranes or “electronic pads”, said design comprised of touch-sensitive sections having augmented areas, such areas being considerably larger than what has been usual in the prior art; thus when an electronic pad employing this technology connects to a voting machine, it becomes a convenient data entry peripheral for entering voting selections, depicting the available electoral options which are pre-printed on a paper sheet or template overlaying the membranes, thus mimicking a traditional voting means based on a paper ballot, and where the sensitive areas are ample enough, easy to press upon with a finger; and when any one touch-sensitive area corresponding to a preferred candidate or option is pressed, an adjacent LED indicator unique per each option is turned on, confirming the selection just made and guaranteeing high accuracy. |

Various embodiments provide keyboards that utilize electrically-deformable material as an actuating mechanism to provide haptic feedback to a user of the keyboard. In at least some embodiments, the electrically-deformable material is utilized to impart, to a depressed key or keyboard element, a multi-vectored movement that produces a perceived acceleration of the key or keyboard element thus providing a user with haptic feedback which simulates a snapover movement. In at least some embodiments, a light source can be mounted or otherwise positioned relatively close to and beneath the top surface of one or more keys or keyboard elements to backlight a portion or portions of a keyboard. |
