  • Publication number: 20110298721
    Abstract: A Touchscreen Interfacing Input Accessory System and Method is disclosed. The accessory device is attachable to the screen of a touchscreen monitor. The accessory device creates an input/output port that uses the touchscreen for I/O interface to the computing device. User input devices are attachable to an interface module that is attached to the touchscreen display by a suction cup or other mechanism. The input devices include user-operable mechanical knobs, controls, and virtually any other input device. The interface module aligns with input/output regions identified on the touchscreen so that the module can send data through the screen via simulated touches, and receive data from through the screen via visual data displayed by the monitor.
