Abstract
An interface device for a computerized system, the interface device including an engagement element configured for operable engagement with a region on a touchscreen of the computerized system to enable interfacing with the computerized system via the touchscreen, wherein the engagement element includes a viewing surface configured to allow a representation of content that is displayed at the region on the touchscreen with which the engagement element is operably engaged, to be visible through the viewing surface.
Claims20
A human-computer interface system including:
- a touchscreen configured for operable communication with a computerized system;
- and an engagement element configured such that, under the control of a human, it is operably engageable with a region on the touchscreen to enable human interfacing with the computerized system via the touchscreen;wherein the engagement element includes a viewing surface configured to allow a representation of content that is displayed at the region on the touchscreen with which the engagement element is operably engaged, to be visible through the viewing surface.
A robot for use with a touchscreen of a computerized system, the robot including:
- a positioning mechanism configured for positioning the robot at regions of the touchscreen;
- an engagement element configured to operably engage with the touchscreen, an operational characteristic of the robot being configured for sensing by a sensor of the computerized system when the engagement element is operably engaged with the touchscreen;
- and a processing module;
- wherein in response to the sensed operational characteristic of the robot, the processing module is configure to perform at least one of:
- (c) controlling the robot to perform an action by reference to the sensed operational characteristic of the robot;
- and (d) displaying a predetermined content on the touchscreen by reference to the sensed operational characteristic of the robot.
