Abstract:
A contact device typically embodied in a finger stylus is part of an overall input system for computer touch screens. Said contact device comprises a generally short, firm extension element having a distal end for establishing brief but discrete contact with the computer touch screen and is to be used, for instance, for making choices in a list of options appearing on a computer screen, sometimes in alternate combination with input from traditional keyboard typing or mouse usage. In operation, the user can position her hands over the keyboard in the usual manner and make both keyboard and touch screen inputs alternately without removing her eyes—or her focus—from the computer screen.
