    摘要: A printing mouse for printing an image onto a medium and for controlling a cursor on a monitor display has a pointing device and an ink jet print head. The pointing device converts movement of the housing over the medium into signals that control the cursor, while the inkjet print head deposits print-forming material onto the medium. The printing mouse has a toggle switch, wherein the toggle switch has a point mode associated with activating the pointing device, a scan mode associated with activating a scanning device (or location sensor), and a print mode associated with activating the printing device (or print head). In one embodiment, the printing mouse has a drive motor for automatically translating the printing mouse across the medium onto which an image is to be printed. The location sensor compares the image just printed with the image data in order to monitor the progress of the printing. Additionally or alternatively, the location sensor functions as the motion detector or pointing device by monitoring the movement of the printing mouse. For example, illumination patterns in the medium are used to track position of the housing. In another alternative, an image sensor on the printing mouse produces image data that is transmitted to the main processor.

    摘要: A palmtop computer (100) for entering characters using one or more input modes (such as alpha, numeric, caps, punctuation) . In one example, a physical sensor is coupled to select the input mode. The physical sensor may be in the form of a button (118, 122, 124, 126, 128), rocker switch (200), dial (402), pressure strip (302, 306), moveable bar (612, 814, 832), or acceleromerer mounted to the device. The physical sensor may also be mounted to a pen (900, 1002). In another example, a ridge (502, 512) is formed on the digitizer pad (103) and positioned to define input regions (504, 506) associated with particular input modes. In another example, a border (602) is formed around the digitizer pad. The border includes a ridge (604, 606, 608, 610) coupled to select the input mode. The digitizer pad may also be textured (616). A first textured region (702) may be associated with one input mode and a second textured region (704) may be associated with another input mode.

    摘要: The present invention provides a pointing device inputting a signal in an X-Y direction on the basis of a sliding operation which is easily mounted to an external substrate without using a connector. A case is constituted by an upper case made of a metal plate, and a lower case made of a resin. An internal substrate is arranged below one set of moving bodies linearly moving in the X-Y direction in correspondence with the sliding operation of the operating body, and the internal substrate is insert molded in a bottom plate portion of the lower case made of the resin. One end portion of a terminal member is brought into contact with the internal substrate and is insert molded in the bottom plate portion of the lower case together with the internal substrate. Another end portion of the terminal member is protruded out of the lower case so as to form a connection terminal with the external substrate.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method for enabling association of objects in a computer system, the method including the steps of: providing a user with at least one first form printable on a first surface to provide to a user viewable information associated with one or more objects; providing a user with at least one second form printable on a second surface to provide to a user viewable information associated with one or more commands; receiving, in a computer system, indicating data from a sensing device operated by the user regarding movement of the sensing device relative to said first or second surface; interpreting, in the computer system and from the indicating data, if the movement of the sensing device relative to the first surface is in relation to selection of one or more of said objects of said at least one first form, and if the movement of the sensing device relative to the second surface is in relation to selection of one or more of said commands of said at least one second form, thereby signifying in the computer system the association of selected one or more objects with selected one or more commands; and providing the user with an amended version of said at least one second form including a representation of said selected one or more objects.

    摘要: In an input pen having a pen-shaped casing, a ferrite core with a coil wound thereon and a ferrite chip are placed opposed to each other via an O-ring. The ferrite chip has a projection. When the input pen is operated, the projection and the ferrite core are moved closer together. When the ferrite chip is moved closer to the ferrite core during operation, the projection is placed substantially close to the ferrite core. Therefore, high responsivity is ensured without moving the ferrite chip into the coil, and there is no need to form an opening or a cavity in the ferrite core.
