    OPTIMIZING WRITING ACCESSORY FOR TOUCH SCREEN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to an optimizing writing accessory for touch screen that provides, to the intended function, advantages and features that represent a remarkable novelty in the current state of the technique.
    The object of the present invention relates to an accessory for the touch screen of an electronic device that facilitates the writing on it by the user by presenting a structural configuration specially designed to improve the degree of detection on certain areas, in correspondence with the position of the keys, with respect to the surrounding area, optimizing the recognition by the device in each of the presses that the user makes when writing.
    FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
    The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of apparatus, elements and accessories for electronic devices, in particular, for electronic devices with touch screen, such as Smartphone phones, electronic tablets or others.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    As is known, a touch screen is one that by means of a direct touch on its surface allows the entry of data and orders to the device.
    Depending on the technology they use, there are at least two types of touch screens commonly used:
    • Resistive: As the name implies, they work by electrical resistance. These are two layers, one that conducts electricity continuously and the other that when in contact with the first creates resistance, being that point of resistance that will serve to

    Determine the position axis. Although resistive screens tend to be less sensitive, they still maintain an important place in the market, mainly because they have to be more resistant than capacitive ones, which adds to a much lower price. Its design in layers, also allows to determine pressure levels without raising costs too much.
    • Capacitive: Capacitive screens are the most common today. At first they tend to be quite expensive, but over time they have become cheaper. They work thanks to a surface, usually of glass, on which a magnetic field acts. When an object capable of conducting electricity comes into contact with said surface, the magnetic field is distorted, and it is that distortion that determines the position on the screen.
    In both types of screen the software, upon detecting the contact on the touch screen for example in the keyboard area, interprets what element shown on the screen, for example a key, is desired to be selected by an approximation algorithm.
    However, such a solution is not entirely adequate, since it often leads to errors and, as a consequence, to write incorrectly.
    It would be desirable, therefore, to have a means to avoid such errors and it is the objective of the present invention to develop an accessory that collaborates in reducing them by concentrating and increasing the detection in the specific contact areas of each key, its definition and its separation between them.
    On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other accessory for such purpose or invention of similar application that presents similar technical and structural characteristics is unknown. which is claimed here.
    EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
    The optimizing writing accessory for touch screen that the invention proposes is thus configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, since in accordance with its implementation and the stated objectives are satisfactorily achieved, the characterizing details making it conveniently possible set forth in the claims

    endings that accompany this description.
    Specifically, what the invention proposes, as noted above, is an accessory attached to the touch screen of an electronic device in order to facilitate writing on it by the user for which it has a structural configuration that essentially is distinguishes by presenting, in the area of said screen in which the keyboard is usually located, two different structures to increase the degree of detection on certain areas, especially those that correspond to the position of the different keys of the mentioned keyboard, in such a way that it comprises contact zones with the screen that allow a greater degree of touch detection and surrounding areas that allow a lower degree of touch detection thus optimizing the recognition by the accessory in each of the pulsations it makes The user when writing.
    Preferably, when the accessory is used with a capacitive touch screen, the area with the highest degree of touch detection allows greater conductivity than the area with the lowest degree of touch detection.
    It is, therefore, an accessory that, at least in a part of it, overlaps the screen and in the corresponding area to which the keyboard appears it has two zones that allow different degrees of touch detection, for example transmitting the conductivity of the fingers to the screen, one area allows a greater degree of touch detection than the other, since its objective is to direct the detection of touch, for example conductivity of the user's fingers, to a specific area, by example a key shown on the screen.
    In addition, the invention provides different realization variants for configuring said contact zones, as well as various configuration options for the accessory itself.
    Specifically, a first embodiment variant has the contact areas formed by through holes, which, consequently, allow a greater degree of touch detection, for example because they have a higher conductivity, than the areas surrounding said holes.
    A second variant of the embodiment has the contact areas formed by non-through holes, that is, which determine a smaller thickness of the material with respect to the zones
    surrounding, which allows a greater degree of touch detection.

    In a third variant of realization, the invention provides that the contact areas are constituted by a different type of material, which allows a greater degree of touch detection, for example a more conductive material, than the surrounding areas, thus providing a greater degree of touch detection in said contact areas.
    A fourth variant of realization is still pointed out here in which the accessory of the invention contemplates that the contact areas, in addition to being made of a different material, have protrusions, to facilitate more specifically the contact.
    In addition, in some of the preferred embodiments, the accessory superimposed on the smooth screen allows the user to recognize by touch if the pulsation is being performed correctly; to be able to differentiate through the block the contact areas and the surrounding areas. In this way the user receives tactile information on the position of the finger with respect to the key, a feature that facilitates the use of electronic devices equipped with smooth touch screens for people with visual impairment.
    Finally, it should be noted that some combination of the variants described is not ruled out.
    On the other hand, the accessory of the invention can have different configurations or solutions to facilitate the placement and extraction of the area with the contact areas on the screen, integrating, for example, in a housing with a removable and reversible part to be coupled onto the screen keyboard only when appropriate, or simply consist of a transparent sheet that attaches on the screen has a part with the described areas of greater degree of touch detection, for example of greater conductivity, in correspondence with the area in which the keyboard appears, being able, said sheet, optionally, in turn, to be incorporated into a cover as an element interposed therein for use only when it is of interest.
    The described writing optimizer accessory for touch screen consists, then, in an innovative structure of unknown characteristics to date for the purpose for which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    In view of the aforementioned figures, and according to the numbering adopted therein, non-limiting variants of the writing optimizer accessory for touch screen of the invention can be seen, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail then
    Thus, as can be seen in said figures, the accessory (1) of the invention consists of a body of variable structure that, at least, comprises an area (2), suitable for its arrangement attached on the touch screen of the device to which it is intended, in coincidence with the writing keyboard that appears on it, and in whose area (2) it presents two types of zones with different degrees of touch detection, for example of different conductivity: a series of contact zones (3 ), distributed in correspondence with the different keys of said keyboard that appears on the screen, and a series of surrounding areas (4) to said contact areas (3), said contact areas (3) having the highest degree of touch detection, for example a higher conductivity, than the surrounding areas (4).
    As can be seen in figures 1 to 4, in a variant embodiment of the accessory (1) the highest degree of touch detection, for example the highest conductivity, of the areas of
    contact (3) is determined because said contact areas (3) are constituted by

    twenty
    25

    35
    through holes made in the area (2) of coincidence with the keyboard, where, therefore, there is only material in the surrounding areas (4).
    In another variant embodiment, shown in Figures 5 to 8, the contact areas (3) and surrounding areas (4) have different degrees of touch detection, for example different conductivity, since they are constituted by different materials, of such that the contact areas (3) are made of a material that allows a greater degree of touch detection, for example a higher conductivity, than the surrounding areas (4).
    In yet another embodiment variant, such as that shown in Figures 9 to 12, the contact areas (3) are determined by non-through holes made in correspondence with the position of the keys between the surrounding areas (4) to them of the area (2) coinciding with the keyboard, constituting a smaller thickness of the material in said area (2).
    In yet another variant embodiment, shown in Figures 13 to 16, in addition to being of different material, the contact areas (3) determine protrusions over the surrounding areas (4), which provide a greater degree of touch detection, for example better conductivity.
    It should be noted that, the body constituting the accessory (1) of the invention has different configuration options, the ones shown in Figures 1 to 16 being several of them not limiting.
    Thus, in a first example of possible embodiment of the accessory (1), this is constituted by a housing (5) that fits around the device leaving the front part cleared in correspondence with the touch screen, said housing (5) being divided into two pieces, one fixed (5a), once the accessory is placed, usually for the upper part, and another extralble and reversible (5b) that covers the area (2) described above, normally to the lower one, so that when it goes to be used to optimize the typing with the keyboard, it must be removed and placed on the back, covering the part in which said keyboard, as shown in figures 2 to 4.
    According to figures 5 to 8, another possible option for the realization of the accessory is observed, in this case configured as a sheet (6) to superficially attach to the screen when it is to be used, comprising a transparent part (6a), which allows visualize what
    appears at the top of the screen, and a strip (6b), transparent or not, in the area (2)
    8
    that appears the keyboard, with the two zones of different conductivity (3, 4).
    Another option for the realization of the accessory (1) comprises a sheet (6) for superficially coupling to the screen, as described above, which, in turn, is integrated into a cover (7) of the type, of which they fit behind and around the device, joined by
    example laterally to it as a book, and that may or may not also present an upper cover (7 a). In this case, the contact areas (3) may have protrusions on the surrounding areas (4) that provide a greater degree of touch detection, for example a better conductivity (see Figure 16).
