    摘要： A keyboard having an input region that provides a set of input elements designed to complement a separate pointing device such as a computer mouse. These input elements enable both the dominant and non-dominant hand to work easily together to perform various functions, which in turn, makes “consumption” and “composition” tasks more efficient. The input region may be spaced laterally from the alphanumeric or “QWERTY” section of the keyboard. The elements include a scrolling member, first and second groups of keys, and an application switching device. The scrolling member may take the form of a rotatable member. The rotatable member may have an asymmetric outer profile and/or be frustum-shaped. The first group of keys preferably includes a Back key and a Forward key. The first group of keys and the scrolling member make performing “consumption” tasks more efficient. The second group of keys preferably includes a Cut key, a Copy key, and a Paste key. The application switching device is preferably configured to provide a command, when actuated, to move between open applications. The application switching device may be independently-actuable, and/or dedicated and labeled as an application switching device. Additionally, the application switching device may be movable for actuation in opposing directions. Exemplary embodiments of the application switching device include a toggle switch, a rotatable dial, a laterally slidable member, and one or two keys. The second group of keys, application switching device and the scrolling member make performing “composition” tasks more efficient.

    摘要翻译： 具有输入区域的键盘，该输入区域提供设计成补充诸如计算机鼠标的单独指示装置的一组输入元件。 这些输入元件使主导和非优势手能够轻松地一起工作来执行各种功能，这又使得“消费”和“组合”任务更有效率。 输入区域可以与键盘的字母数字或“QWERTY”部分横向隔开。 元件包括滚动构件，第一和第二组键以及应用切换装置。 滚动构件可以采取可旋转构件的形式。 可旋转构件可以具有不对称的外部轮廓和/或截头锥形。 第一组键优选地包括后退键和前进键。 第一组键和滚动构件使执行“消耗”任务更有效率。 第二组键优选地包括切割键，复制键和粘贴键。 应用切换设备优选地被配置为当致动时提供在打开的应用之间移动的命令。 应用交换设备可以是可独立地致动的，和/或专用的并被标记为应用交换设备。 另外，应用切换装置可以可移动以在相反的方向上致动。 应用切换装置的示例性实施例包括拨动开关，可旋转拨盘，横向可滑动构件以及一个或两个键。 第二组密钥，应用交换设备和滚动构件使得“组合”任务的执行效率更高。

    摘要： A user notification system and a computer input device, such as a mouse. The computer input device includes an illumination member that enables a user to quickly and accurately position the input device during poor lighting conditions and determine whether the computer is ON. The input device includes a housing and an illumination device that is supported by the housing. Illumination from the illumination device is visible when the input device is placed on a support surface. The illumination member is also used to notify the user if one or more of various events have occurred in a computer application being run on the computer. The notification information is presented to the user by changing the state of the illumination member. An example of event for notification includes the receipt of a message in a communications program such as an e-mail message. The notification can make the illumination member blink as a function of the number of messages received. This enables information to be conveyed to the user without the need for text or audio, and without the need to view the computer monitor.
