マンマシン・インタフェースの入力装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3995752
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An input device for improving a man-machine interface, for use in connection with a data processing system such as a computer, includes a fluid medium (20) sealed inside a chamber (10), a control movement transmission mechanism (50) connected to the chamber (10), a control data generating device (60) which monitors and converts the operation of the inflow and outflow control mechanism into electrical signals, a transmission circuit (70) for transmitting the signals output by the control data generating device (60) to a computer (100), a fluid flow variable restriction device (40) able to variably control the volume of fluid flowing through the restrictor pipe (30), and a receiver circuit (80) capable of driving the fluid flow variable restriction device (40) based on control response signals output from the computer (100). The fluid medium (20) flows into and out of the chamber (10) through the restrictor pipe (30). The mechanism operates in a manner as to control the fluid flow into and out of the chamber (10) through the restrictor pipe (30). The fluid flow condition is generated by operator-induced volume changes in the chamber (10).
