International ClassG09G 005/00AbstractA finger-mounted computer interface device includes a barrel-shaped stylus having a writing end, a pressure-sensitive switch at the writing end for detecting engagement of the stylus with a monitor screen, a transmitter for transmitting to the computer a signal indicative of a start of a computer operation in response to the detection by the pressure-sensitive switch, and an actuating button for actuating a computer operation after the stylus has engaged the monitor screen of the computer. A ring mounts the stylus on a finger of a person such that the stylus is positioned above the finger in a manner that does not interfere with a typing operation of the finger on a keyboard. The stylus is connected with the ring so as to permit engagement of the stylus with a monitor screen of a computer, and so that the writing end extends forwardly of the finger, such as when the finger is bent.Other References
