ABSTRACT:
A tactilely setable data input structure for a battery-operated, computer-run wrist watch operable in a time mode and a calculator mode comprising: a watch casing housing battery and clock calculator electronics and at least one visible display having multiple units therein. A first button is located on a first side edge of the housing for operating the electronics to cause the visible display to shift between a calculator and a time display upon depression thereof. A second and third button on said first side edge of the housing and a fourth, fifth and sixth button on an opposite side edge of the housing from the first edge. The second through sixth buttons are connected to the electronics to create digits zero through nine or no digit in a first unit of the display dependent on the combination of specific buttons simultaneously pressed, wherein at least two of the digits zero through nine are created by the pressing of only two buttons, and wherein release of the buttons creating the digit shifts the register to an adjoining unit of the display for creation of a digit in a second unit of the register; and wherein pressing of different button combinations from those creating the digits zero to nine, activates the calculator electronics to any one of the mathematical functions of adding, subtracting, dividing or multiplying digits previously entered into the display by a subsequent sequence of digits to be entered into the display, and wherein entry of a new number after release of these different button combinations initially clears the display to allow for the insertion of the new number.
