摘要:
A computer input device having a housing and an engagable scroll wheel. The scroll wheel is rotatable about an axis to preferably cause vertical scrolling of an image on a display. The rotatable member is laterally movable relative to the housing. A sensor is preferably positioned within the housing for sensing lateral movement of the rotatable member. In response to sensed lateral movement of the rotatable member, the image is horizontally scrolled, preferably in the direction of the lateral movement. The scrolling speed can be affected relative to the amount of displacement of the rotatable member and/or the amount of time that the rotatable member is displaced a predetermined amount. The computer input device having the rotatable member may take the form of a keyboard, a mouse, a trackball device, or another type of computer input device.

A cartridge for a pen including a marking device (1120) such as an ink jet head and a non marking stylus (1156) for contacting the writing surface, the pen being operative to mark a visible path onto the surface, the marking device being electronically controllable to change an attribute of the path such as colour or line thickness. The pen includes a user interface such as buttons or a sliders (1404, 1406, 1408) and a display (1410) whereby a user may modify the attribute. A sensor is capable of sensing images including coded data or colour which can be stored in a memory or transmitted to an external control source. The stylus can slide along its longitudinal axis to activate a switch to power the print head operating integrated circuit and/or open a rotary ink jet head cap. The stylus may include a pressure transducer to measure the force applied by the hand as further security in identifying a signature.

An input device (200) comprises a number of distinct touch areas (230, 232), i.e. areas which are normally in contact with a user while manipulating the device. At least two of such touch areas (230, 232) have corresponding tactual cue generating units (240, 242) for conveying tactual cues via the touch areas (230, 232) to the user. In an application in which the input device (200) is used, the tactual cues can convey location or direction information relating to the application, by independently operating the tactual cue generating units (240, 242).

The invention concerns a device (10; 110; 210; 310) for detecting and representing movements. Said device comprises position sensing means (24; 125) for detecting the current position of a reference point (16; 116, 216; 316) of the device (10; 110; 210; 310), data processing means (32) for processing the position data detected by the position sensing means (24; 125) and projection means (21; 121) for projecting on a surface (plane XY) an image projection (28; 30) of the detected and processed position data. The data processing means (32) takes into account a modification in the current position of the reference point (16; 116, 216; 316) such that the projection image (28, 30) on the surface (plane XY) remains substantially stable concerning location and position.
摘要:
An inputting device, an electronic instrument using this inputting device, and an inputting method thereof, in which displacement of an operating section in the direction slanting for the X or the Y direction is detected and the movement of a moving object such as a cursor on a display can be controlled easily and precisely, are provided. The operating section is displaced about in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for a plane being almost parallel to the surface of a cabinet. In case that orthogonal coordinates having the X axis and the Y axis are set on the plane being almost parallel to the surface of the cabinet, horizontal direction sensors detect the displacement of the operating section in the direction slanting for the X or Y direction, in addition to in the X or Y direction. The cursor moves on the display based on the displacement of the operating section about in the horizontal direction. Information being selected by the cursor on the display is decided by the displacement of the operating section about in the vertical direction.

A palmtop computer (100) for receiving input of characters, the computer comprising a casing (108), a digitizer pad (103) coupled to the casing and a border (602) formed around the digitizer pad, the border including an actuable ridge to select a character type input mode, wherein said actuable ridge includes a stepped inner edge (612) that may be actuated by applying a pressure to said stepped inner edge to select a character type input mode.
摘要:
The invention relates to a device for detecting and displaying movements, whereby the device comprises a housing (110) and position detection means, which are placed on the housing and provided for detecting the current position data of a reference point of the device. The inventive device also comprises data processing means for processing position data detected by the position detection means, and comprises a display device (112), which is provided on the housing while serving to display an image consisting of detected and processed position data.
摘要:
Electronic device comprising a keypad having a continuous surface defining both independent key regions (2) and comination key regions (3), a key switch matrix responsive to engagement of independent key regions, a grid of sense elements underlying the surface of the keypad and responsive to motion of a human finger across the surface of the keypad and an electronic circuit adapted to receive signals from the keypad. The electronic circuit is configured to determine an intended combination key input based at least in part upon both a sensed position of a finger between adjacent key regions and a state of the key switch matrix.
