Abstract: A tactile feedback simulating fabrication for use with an input device provides flexible mouldings (801) locatable above detection positions. Flexible mouldings (801) provide tactile feedback simulating a key-press. Each of the mouldings (801) defines a top portion (802) and a flexible side wall (803). A flexible fabric layer (804) is attached to the flexible mouldings thereby significantly enhancing the durability of these mouldings.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a computer keyboard having a key sensing device that provides two levels of sensing by generating electrical signals depending on the force applied on the keys. The different levels of key sensing can be used to provide different functions, for instance, in a software application. This key sensing functionality can be provided on all or only some of the keys of the keyboard. For example, the different pressure levels applied on the key can be used to control cursor movement or scrolling and to produce pressure-based shifting between lower case and upper case. A method of providing pressure sensitive key functionalities for a keyboard comprises producing a signal by applying a pressure to a key which is configured to produce different signals in response to different pressure levels applied to the key. A user interface response is generated based on the signal produced by the pressure applied to the key. The different signals are adapted to generate different user interface responses for the key.
Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例涉及一种具有钥匙感测装置的计算机键盘,其通过根据施加在键上的力产生电信号来提供两级感测。 可以使用不同级别的键感测来提供不同的功能,例如在软件应用中。 可以在键盘的全部或仅一些键上提供该键感测功能。 例如,施加在键上的不同压力水平可用于控制光标移动或滚动,并在小写和大写字母之间产生基于压力的移位。 为键盘提供压力敏感键功能的方法包括通过向配置为响应于施加到键的不同压力水平产生不同信号的键施加压力来产生信号。 基于由施加到键的压力产生的信号产生用户界面响应。 不同的信号适合于为密钥产生不同的用户界面响应。
