U.S. Patent for Transparent calculator:
U.S Patent for Digital Image capture:
Now that we got that out of the way, let’s talk about tactile response in text input devices. A keyboard is a peripheral, those that have taken formal typing classes are trained to look at what they are typing on screen/paper, not at the keyboard/device. The camera may know the position of your fingers, but your fingers don’t the correct positions because they have no reference to the “home row” and key depressions that provide feedback that a key has been depressed. the “IPHONE” doesn’t need to provide feedback because the display of the text is very close in visual proxy to the keys themselves making it more intuitive. Auto-correct also assists with speed and the lack of tactile response though people with large fingers do have issues using small touch screens.
And then, it seems, you are really using this personal experience to point out some kind of injustice in regards to a double standard when it comes to West-China / China-West piracy. Nxakt is correct that there are many example of simultaneous invention throughout history. Maybe that is the case with your transparent keyboard, maybe not. But even if you were completely ripped off you sound like you are whining. My advice would be to learn from this experience and next time you have what you feel is an innovative design (and I hope you do) you should take the proper measures to protect your intellectual property before you share it, and after you’ve taken those measures develop a plan to promote it, sell it, and secure funding.
