Attorney, Agent or Firm:
A ergonomic customizeable user/computer interface system for wireless computer control. A hand-attachable user interface device transmits control information upon activation of switches on the interface device. A base interface device receives the transmissions, decodes the information and provides control signals to the computer. The interface system allows for security authorization control and multiple computer or LAN operations with each user interface device. Greater functionality is provided by the use of personality modules in the user interface device for different modes of operation. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing, it is apparent that there still exists a need in the art for a method, apparatus, system, and architecture which provides a more efficient and effective means to easily and conveniently accomplish user/computer interface.
The present invention addresses and solves many or all of the aforementioned drawbacks, for many usage-specific applications and environmental contexts.
Accordingly, the invention herein disclosed offers many distinct and unique capabilities, to serve a wide range of user needs.
The present invention can simplify access to computers, and can accelerate user and computer interaction--especially for GUI user/computer applications, and for mobile operating environments.
The present invention eliminates or reduces many drawbacks of many existing input devices and mouse-type products.
The invention relates to a method to improve computer accessibility, by simplifying user and computer interaction.
The apparatus of the present invention can provide very easy access to, and control of, graphic user interface-oriented computing environments, particularly for persons with mobility impairments and for persons with special mobility requirements.
A mobile, lightweight, ergonomically-shaped, customizeable, user/computer interface apparatus is attached onto the human forefinger, providing means for thumbtip interaction with a computer, via predetermined user control signals.
To couple user control signals from the user-attachable apparatus to a controllable computer, a hardwired or wireless signal transmission system receives user control signals and relays them to a base/computer interface apparatus, which detects, decodes, and converts user control signals into formats suitable for input to and processing by an interconnected controllable computer.
In one preferred embodiment, computer-generated or other external control signals can disable operation of a base/computer interface apparatus and a user/computer interface apparatus, when necessary for security
