Claims20
A hand integrated mouse platform for incorporating single or multiple computer input devices, comprising:
- a single unitary housing wearable on at least one of a user's fingers and including at least one opening therethrough, each said opening configured to at least partially surround a proximal or intermediate phalanx of at least one finger other than a thumb, of said user when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand, and a plurality of operable input devices disposed therein or thereon, said user's thumb disposed outside said housing and said single unitary housing including an outwardly facing end face facing said user's thumb when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand, said outwardly facing end face including at least one said operable input device disposed therein or thereon and operable by said user's thumb when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand,
- wherein no portion said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's thumb and inner surfaces of said openings comprise proximal or intermediate phalanx facing surfaces when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand.
A hand integrated operations platform for accommodating multiple controls that interface with one or multiple program applications or devices, said hand integrated operations platform comprising:
- a single unitary housing wearable on at least one of a user's fingers and including an opening therethrough that surrounds a proximal phalanx of at least one finger other than a thumb, of said user when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand, an end face having contoured, non-planar surfaces defining a plurality of stages, and at least one operable input device disposed on each of said plurality of stages and operable by said user's thumb when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's proximal phalanges, said user's thumb disposed outside said housing and said user's intermediate and distal phalanges disposed outside said housing when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand, wherein no portion said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's thumb and said end face is disposed generally orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of said single unitary housing.
A hand integrated operations platform for accommodating one or multiple input devices that interface with one or multiple program applications or devices, said hand integrated operations platform comprising:
- a single unitary housing including at least one opening therethrough adapted to at least partially surround a proximal phalanx or an intermediate phalanx of at least one finger other than a thumb, of a user when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand, said user's thumb disposed outside said housing when said hand integrated mouse platform is disposed on said user's hand, wherein no portion said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's thumb or on distal phalanges of said user's fingers, wherein said single unitary housing includes an outwardly facing end face facing said user's thumb when said hand integrated mouse platform is worn on said user's hand, said outwardly facing end face disposed generally orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of said single unitary housing and including a plurality of contours and a plurality of stages defined by said contours and at least one an operable input device disposed therein or thereon,
- said at least one operable input device comprising a microphone and a speaker;
- and
- a rechargeable power source disposed within said housing.
