    Abstract: A keypad for an electronic data-entry device. The keypad includes: a plurality of keys defining a layer of keys; a connection printed-circuit board having a key-press detection portion having an external face oriented towards the layer of keys and an internal face opposite the external face; for each key of the layer of keys, an interconnection element and at least one pair of contacts on the connection printed-circuit board, the interconnection element being intended for making the electrical connection of the contacts of the pair of contacts when the associated key is pressed. The connection printed-circuit board is a flexible printed-circuit board further including a connecting portion forming a fold beneath the internal face of the key-press detection portion, and the pair of contacts is disposed on the internal face.

    Abstract: A system of data entry includes a touch panel of a terminal and a data-entry device to be placed on the touch panel. The touch panel includes a matrix of electrodes having nodes and is managed by a control unit configured carrying out cycles of capacitive scanning and measurement of variance of capacitance of the nodes relative to reference values, detecting meaningful touches on the touch panel and recalibrating reference values. The device includes a plate having a lower face for placing the device on the touch panel; and an upper face with a matrix of entry zones having a thickness enabling a detection of a finger by the touch panel; a flat contact pad electrically conductive and fixedly attached to the lower face; and a network of conductive tracks stretching over at least a part of the upper face and being electrically connected to the contact pad.
