Abstract: In some examples, techniques are provided for quick haptic feedback, without the use of a controller, which is local to individual, non-actuating keys, such as keys of a thin keyboard or keypad. The haptic feedback may be in the form of a simulated “key-click” feedback for an individual key that is pressed by a user such that the finger used to press the key feels the tactile sensation. The haptic feedback mimics the tactile sensation of a mechanical key (e.g., buckling spring, pop-dome key switch) to give a user the perception that they have actuated a mechanically movable key.

Abstract: A light emitting key is disclosed. A through hole is made through piezoresistive layer; a light source is arranged under the bottom of the light emitting key. When the light source is turned on, light beams shall emit out of the top substrate. The light emitting effect of the key facilitates it to be used in a dark area such as an aircraft flying in the night sky.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention comprise a signal generator for sending an electrical signal from an expandable, flexible layer of material, the signal generator comprising an upper layer of flexible, resilient material and a lower layer of flexible, resilient material which between them define a cavity for enclosing an expandable material such as a cellular foam or gas, whereupon localized distortion of one of the layers of flexible material, effects a signal generation within the structure, which is transmissible through a proper circuit to an outside electrical device. A circuit may be arranged adjacent a plurality of said keys which senses when several of said keys are depressed in a skewed or sideways manner, so as to effect movement of a cursor or pointer on a monitor in communication with a processing unit and said keyboard.

Abstract: A keyboard (10) is disclosed including a flexible display membrane (36) overlying a plurality of pressure-responsive switches (28). The display membrane (36) can be electrically addressed to display location indicia (48) indicating the position of an underlying switch (46), and functional indicia (50) indication the function of the key (46). Informational text (58) can also be displayed on the flexible display (36) indicating the choice of switches to effect a desired function. An interactive exchange of information between the keyboard user and a processing system (14) can be achieved to accomplish a desired function. Graphical information can be input to the processing system (14) by an array (90) of pressure-responsive elements (91). Graphics input by the array (90) can be reproduced on an overlying portion (96) of the flexible display membrane (36).
