摘要： This invention provides novel keyboards comprising keys disposed such that they minimize the distance a finger typically must travel to effect a keystroke and the force that is applied to effect a keystroke. Accordingly the keyboards require less arm and finger movement to and thereby reduce the likelihood of an operator developing a repetitive stress injury (RSI). In one embodiment the keyboards comprise a plurality of keys disposed such that the alphanumeric keys form a continuous key array defining a key array surface having at least two concave regions wherein a plurality of keys present irregular and/or non-rectilinear striking faces.

摘要： An ergonomic keyboard that alleviates repetitive stress injuries by eliminating static repetition in the use of keyboards. The keyboard includes a plurality of key zones, the key zones being adapted to move. The zones are moved by moving means. The key zones move when any one or more of predetermined conditions occur such as a set time, number of keystrokes, time interval, keystrokes in a zone or area, preprogrammed injury status, preprogrammed injury prevention, programmed diagnosed condition, key temperature, keyboard vibration, manual adjustment, and user pattern or preference.

摘要： There is a need to develop a more sophisticated and educational system of keyboard set ups for not only the disabled population from their worker's compensation injuries but for the entire continuum of keyboard users nationally and internationally. This is due to the rising medical costs associated but also for the days out of work as the Bureau of Labor Statistics report for upper extremity sprains and strains and more importantly, carpal tunnel syndrome. Design companies are making ergonomic changes in the mouse, keyboard design but not until now has a long term solution been invented. Smart businesses are not waiting for regulation or lawsuits to prompt action geared to preventing such repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The dual system of keyboard/keypad, mouse or calculator set ups after training will have a decided impact on the reduction of computer related work force injuries or to provide dexterity training for other people with disabilities.

摘要翻译： 需要开发一个更加复杂和教育的键盘设置系统，不仅是残疾人的工伤赔偿，而且是全国和国际上键盘用户的整个连续体。 这是由于医疗费用上涨，而且劳动统计局报告了上肢扭伤和紧张情况以及更重要的是腕管综合征的工作日。 设计公司正在对鼠标，键盘设计进行人体工程学的改变，但直到现在都已经发明了长期的解决方案。 聪明的企业并没有等待法规或诉讼来采取行动，以防止诸如腕管综合症等重复性运动损伤。 键盘/键盘，鼠标或计算机组合的双重系统在训练后将对减少计算机相关的工作人员伤害产生决定性影响，或为其他残疾人提供灵活训练。

摘要： The invention relates to an adjustable keyboard to be used, for example, at a computer terminal (12). The preferred embodiment is in the form of a keyboard having a number of keys (5), the keyboard being formed in at least two segments (2, 3) which are mutually movable relative- to one another using a hinge or joint (6). Each of the segments (2, 3) of the keyboard has mounted thereon some of the keys (5). The relatively movable nature of the keyboard aims at reducing stress and discomfort to the user by eliminating contortion to the user's wrists. More particularly, discomfort to the user caused by pronation of the wrists and/or ulnar deviation of the wrists is reduced. The hinge or joint (6) may be in the form of a ball and socket-type joint with a locking mechanism, which preferably includes a pivoted handle (100), in the form of a lever, used for locking and unlocking the hinge or joint (6).

摘要： A method and an apparatus for communicating data to a remote device, the apparatus comprising a keyboard having a plurality of keys. The lower surface of the keyboard is attached to an object along at least a portion of the lower surface of the keyboard. The object is adapted for providing a cushioned region between the keyboard and a resting-place. The remote device comprises at least one of a personal computer (PC), television (TV), an organizer, cable box, satellite receiver, and radio or stereo equipment. The resting-place is typically a portion of a human body, such as a lap or thigh region, or palm(s) of a hand(s). The keyboard communicates to the remote device via a wired or wireless link to allow use at home, hotel, or office.

摘要： A hand-held electronic device with a keyboard optimized for use with the thumbs is disclosed. In order to operate within the limited space available on a hand-held electronic device, the present invention optimizes the placement and shape of the keys, preferably using keys that are oval or oblong in shape, and that are preferably placed at angles designed to facilitate thumb-typing. The angles at which keys on either side of the keyboard are placed is complimentary.
