Abstract
A new approach to designing input device keys is proposed, and a TV remote controller is used as an example to demonstrate the new approach for studying the relationship between fingerprints and key geometry. One hundred subjects' fingerprints of thumbs and index fingers of both hands were collected, and a computer program was used for converting the fingerprint to a bitmap form. Subsequently, the data were analysed to provide some guidelines for determining the key size and key shape for the input device. Finally, the fingerprints were used to study the pattern of finger press and the justification for keycap curvature for finger placement. The results showed that the new approach can be useful in guiding designers of input device keys. A further benefit of this study is in providing a more systematic approach with considerable general potential for studying input device keys.
