Abstract: A user-configurable control device particularly suitable for household devices such as remote control transmitters (Fig. 1, Fig. 3) includes a variety of function control elements (10, 110, 210) in the form of keys. Each control element (110) has a unique pattern of projections (120) in an operative alignment with an array of membrane switches (125) within the control device. The control device includes a front panel (104) for receiving a desired set of control elements that is selected by the consumer. Each control element (110) has a pair of tabs (116) that securely retains the element on the control panel (104), but which also allows removal if desired. The pattern of switch contacts (125) closed upon actuation of the corresponding control element (110) via the particular pattern of projections (120) thereof determines the function that is performed. Alternately, each control element (210, 232) may have a unique pattern of apertures (218, 238) in operative alignment with an array of optical sensors (224) within the control device.

Abstract: Flexibly configurable button panels for electronic devices and dynamic display systems for wager based gaming machines are disclosed. Button panels include a flexible cable, surface mount or other cable connectors spaced along and coupled thereto, and button assemblies coupled thereto via the cable connectors to provide electrical access from buttons to circuit lines. Relative physical locations of buttons are then reconfigurable to form different button panel configurations while the buttons remain coupled to the flexible cable. A dedicated dynamic button panel controller for processing button functions and a button panel identification device having an identification code can also be provided. Buttons can be removably coupled to the cable connectors, and can also include dynamic displays thereupon. Other gaming machine dynamic displays can also be provided. Separate dynamic display controllers can be provided to control dynamic displays directly to alleviate processing burdens on the master gaming controller.

Abstract: An electronic keyboard having an improved ergonomic design for use with computers and other alphanumeric input electronic devices is disclosed. Repetitive motion stress on a typist's hands, wrists and fingers is substantially reduced by relocating and centering the ENTER (108) and BACKSPACE (106) keys to a location central to the keyboard so as to be index finger activated, with the ENTER key (108) extending up into the home row, thereby reducing wrist flexure. The alphanumeric keys are disposed in an ortholinear array, with substantially vertical columns and substantially horizontal rows and functional keys are grouped into rationally apportioned areas below the alphanumeric keys of the keyboard. Certain of the keys have up to three different functions, depending upon whether the keyboard is in QWERTY mode. Dvorak mode, or numeric keypad mode. The numeric keypad is provided as an "underlay" to the right-hand portion of the alphanumeric keyboard, thereby producing a very compact keyboard with full numeric keypad editing functionality.
