Abstract
A voting device and system for voting is described having a touch sensitive membrane input surface including at least one of an arc input and a slider input, at least one sensor for detecting movement and orientation of the voting device, and at least one transmitter. The voting device receives a voting response inputted by a user from at least one of the arc input, the slider input and the sensor, and then sends the user inputted response upon at least one of a pressure and a release of pressure on the touch sensitive membrane input surface.
Claims39
A voting device, comprising:
- a contact membrane input surface including at least one of an arc input and a slider input;
- at least one sensor for detecting movement and orientation of said voting device;
- and
- at least one transmitter;
- wherein said voting device receives a voting response inputted by a user from at least one of said arc input, said slider input and said sensor;
- and
- wherein said voting device sends said user inputted response upon a contact with the contact membrane input surface.
A voting device, comprising:
- a contact membrane input surface including at least one of an arc input, a slider input and a keypad;
- at least one sensor for detecting movement and orientation of said voting device;
- and
- at least one transmitter;
- wherein said voting device receives a voting response inputted by a user from at least one of said arc input, said slider input, said keypad and said sensor;
- and
- wherein said voting device sends said user inputted response upon a contact with said contact membrane input surface.
A system for voting, comprising:
- a central computer;
- at least one base station connected to said central computer;
- and
- a plurality of voting devices each arranged to wirelessly transmit and receive signals with said base station;
- wherein each said voting device comprises a touch sensitive membrane input surface including at least one of an arc input and a slider input, at least one sensor for detecting movement and orientation of said voting device, and at least one transmitter;
- wherein each said voting device receives a degree of a user inputted voting response from at least one of said arc input, said slider input and said sensor;
- and
- wherein each said voting device transmits said user inputted response upon at least one of a pressure and a release of pressure on the touch sensitive membrane input surface.
A method for voting, comprising the steps of:
- providing at least one voting device comprising a contact membrane input surface including at least one of an arc input and a slider input, and at least one sensor for detecting movement and orientation of said voting device;
- receiving a voting response inputted by a user via at least one of said arc, said slider and said sensor;
- and
- transmitting said user inputted response via a transmitter upon a contact with said contact membrane input surface.
