Abstract: The biometric and performance monitoring system includes a computer having a mouse and a keyboard electronically coupled thereto. A first sensor is disposed in the mouse, and is electrically coupled to the computer. A second sensor is disposed in the keyboard and is electrically coupled to the computer. The first sensor and the second sensor measure biometric parameters of a user. A computer-readable storage medium is associated with the computer and is adapted for storing the biometric parameters and the performance parameters. The computer measures performance parameters associated with the mouse and with the keyboard. The computer at least one of provides an alert to the user, electronically communicates with a medical service provider, and electronically communicates with a supervising entity responsive to analysis of changes in the biometric parameters and the performance parameters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inputting characters on an image display device and an image display device employing the method, and more specifically, to a method for inputting characters on an image display device that displays a character input window for data input when a data input request is received while outputting preset contents, and sets a character input mode and inputs a preset character that corresponds to a character input signal on the character input window, and an image display device employing the method.
