Abstract
There is described an input element for operating a touch-screen, said input element comprising an electrically conductive layer which is applied to an electrically non-conductive substrate. The electrically conductive layer is structured and has at least one button, conductor track and/or electrode, wherein at least one electrode and/or conductor track is operatively connected to the touch-screen.
Claims16
An input element for operating at least one touchscreen the input element comprising:
- at least one electrically nonconductive substrate, and
- at least one electrically conductive layer, wherein the electrically conductive layer is present in structured form on the substrate and comprises at least one key, at least one conductor track and/or at least one electrode, and wherein the at least one electrode and/or the at least one conductor track is operatively connected to the touchscreen.
A method for operating at least one touchscreen, the method comprising an act of:
- using an input element to provide a keyboard for operating a touchscreen, the input element comprising:
- at least one electrically nonconductive substrate, and
- at least one electrically conductive layer, wherein the electrically conductive layer is present in structured form on the substrate and comprises at least one key, at least one conductor track and/or at least one electrode, and wherein the at least one electrode and/or the at least one conductor track is operatively connected to the touchscreen.
A kit for operating a touchscreen, the kit comprising an input element, the input element comprising:
- at least one electrically nonconductive substrate;
- at least one electrically conductive layer, wherein the electrically conductive layer is present in structured form on the substrate and comprises at least one key, at least one conductor track and/or at least one electrode, and wherein the at least one electrode and/or the at least one conductor track is operatively connected to the touchscreen;
- and
- a connector adapted to be operatively connected to the touchscreen.
