System for simulating a contact with a surface by tactile stimulation comprising a surface (4.1) intended to come into contact with the fleshy part of a finger (9) of a user, said system comprising means for displacing the surface along first and second mutually orthogonal directions (X, Y) substantially tangential to the fleshy part of the finger (9), said means of displacement being controlled as a function of the simulation to be generated, in which said means of displacement are formed by electromagnetic actuators (14.1, 14.2).

Provided is multi-direction input device. The multi-direction input device includes a magnet part, a manipulation member configured to receive the magnet part, the manipulation member being moved in multi-directions by user's manipulation, and a spring configured to surround at least one side of the manipulation member, the spring allowing the manipulation member to return to an original position by elasticity. At least one portion of the manipulation member is formed of a magnetic field blocking material.

Provided is a multi-direction input device. The multi-direction input device includes a manipulation member moved in a multi-direction by a user's manipulation, a spring ring disposed to surround at least one side of the manipulation member, the spring ring returning to an initial position of the manipulation member by elasticity, and a fixing member configured to fix at least one portion of the spring ring.

A force feedback interface device (14), coupled to a host computer (18), includes a manipulandum (12), such as a mouse, that is moveable in a local workspace (24). A cursor position (222) in the display frame (28) is reported to the host computer (18) derived from a reference position (204) of the mouse (12) in the local frame (30), and the host (18) displays the cursor (180); for example, the cursor position (222) may be scaled by a ballistics algorithm (206) based on mouse velocity to allow fine positioning or coarse motion of the cursor (180). A force (216) is output on the mouse (12), the force (216) being determined based on mouse reference data or cursor ballistic data, depending on the type of force, to reduce distortion between visual and force outputs. Assistive forces and indexing features are also provided to achieve the enhanced cursor control.

Disclosed is a computer implemented method of interrogating volumetric data, the method including the steps of: defining a reference surface relative to the volumetric data; providing an interrogation window lying in a movable interrogation plane intersecting the reference surface and the interrogation window intersecting the volumetric data, said interrogation plane having a pole lying in it about which pole said interrogation plane is rotatable, wherein movement of the interrogation plane provides a corresponding movement of the interrogation window; for each movement of the interrogation plane, determining the point of intersection of said pole and said reference surface, determining the relative angle of rotation of said interrogation plane about said pole and determining the angle of inclination of said pole to said reference surface; and on the basis of said determinations, providing a sectional image through the volumetric data corresponding to the position of the interrogation window within the volumetric data. Also disclosed is a computer system for implementing the method according to any one of the preceding claims, the system includes a processor for performing the steps of the method and a visual display for displaying said sectional image.

A display type input system is installed in a vehicle as an input machine. The display type input system displays various button selection determination screens of a menu screen, a destination setting screen, an audio setting screen, etc., on a display in the vehicle and allows the user to move a button focus on the display with a remote input device distant from the display to select and determine any desired item button, thereby causing the vehicle to execute the vehicle-installed function responsive to the button. A determination button operated by the user to determine the selected item button is laid out for the screens.
摘要:
A pointing device having a moveable puck that moves in a predetermined field of motion by applying a lateral force there to is disclosed (see figure 5). A first linear spring is attached to the puck, the first spring applying a first force to the puck at each location in the field of motion. A second linear spring is also attached to the puck, the second spring applying a second force to the puck at each location in the field of motion. The first and second springs return the puck to a predetermined location in the field of motion when the lateral force is not applied to the puck. The first linear spring is folded around a bending point and attached to a portion of the pointing device that is stationary with respect to the puck.
