SPATIAL INFORMATION INPUT DEVICE AND METHOD, SOFT KEY MAPPING METHOD THEREFOR, AND VIRTUAL KEYBOARD USING IT

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spatial information input device and a method, a soft key mapping method therefor, and a virtual keyboard constructed using the soft key mapping method. PSOLUTION: The spatial information input device and the method, the soft key mapping method and the virtual keyboard include a sensing device 30 equipped with a plurality of sensors which are equipped on finger parts for sensing action of a finger which clicked one of buttons on the virtual keyboard, a signal processing part 32 for calculating finger action information by processing signals output from the sensing device 30 and recognizing position of each sensor, a hand position and finger judging part 34 for judging clicked button and clicking finger based on the position of each sensor and the finger action information, a key information storing part 36 for storing information of a plurality of keys mapped to a button and a key value mapped by finger action of clicking the button, a key judging part 38 for searching a key value corresponding to the signal judged by the hand position and finger judging part from the key information storing part and inputting it.
