A system and method for typing training are disclosed in which a fingerprint recognition system is included. The system recognizes a typist's fingers or fingerprints while the typist types the keys on a keypad such that the system determines which finger has pressed a particular key and can notify the typist when an incorrect finger is used to press a particular key. The system is well suited for tutorial typing where the typist is reinforced to use the correct finger to type each particular key. The system may be implemented using a specially designed keyboard or it may be implemented as an application.

This disclosure describes a keyboard that is selectively configurable in a testing mode, where characters are not visible on a set of touch-based input receivers of the input device, a training mode, where characters are visible on some but not all of the set of touch-based input receivers of the input device, and a standard mode, where characters are visible on all of the set of touch-based input receivers of the input device. This disclosure also describes techniques for manufacturing the input device and illuminating characters via the touch-based input receivers. The described keyboard improves on conventional input devices by allowing selection of one or more touch-based input receivers for which characters are illuminated, or selection of a testing mode where a user cannot see characters on any of the touch-based input receivers.

A physical therapy system that includes an apparatus coupled with a plurality of techniques of use thereof. The physical therapy system includes an apparatus having a body that is manufactured from a plurality of segments. The segments comprising the body are slidably coupled and configured to telescopically move so as to provide a collapsed position and an extended position with further providing of intermediate positions. The body of the physical therapy apparatus has a bottom end and a top end wherein the body has a narrowing diameter from the bottom end to the top end. The physical therapy system further includes preferred techniques of use that include but are not limited to picking up the apparatus, walking around the apparatus, disassembly and reassembly of the system, walking to a plurality of apparatus and reaching for the apparatus. Further techniques include placing a foot on top of the apparatus.

Universal Finger Blinds: a bottomless, adjustable, portable covering for the hands and fingers purposed to obstruct the hands and fingers from view to operate and develop necessary skills for muscle memory to manipulate equipment including but not limited to: keyboards, typewriters, computing and calculating devices or for various dexterity skills that require obstructed vision of the hands and fingers. One may desire to look at the fingers to assure proper placement. Instead the goal should be avoid looking at the hands and fingers, yet achieve proper finger placement. The present invention results with a hand and finger covering that stays in place while in use, covers the hand surface without clashing the left and right hands, and fits comfortably to the user's wrist. Such use will allow a proprioceptive occurrence leaving the eyes to focus on written material while hands and fingers achieve muscle memory resulting with proper finger placement.

An embodiment provides a method, including: operating a sensor of an information handling device to capture location information of a user; determining, using a processor to analyze the location information, a position of a finger of a user relative to a keyboard location; determining, using the processor, a difference between an expected location for the finger and the position of the finger of the user relative to the keyboard location; and offering, using the processor, feedback regarding the difference determined. Other aspects are described and claimed.
