摘要： Systems and methods for controlling an elongate device include a console. The console includes a first recess and a removable first input control for controlling motion of the medical device. The console also may include one or more first sensors located about the first recess that detect motion of the first input control and detect operator contact with the first input control. The console also may include an integrated display screen arranged to display status information for the medical device. In some embodiments, the first input control controls an insertion depth or steering of the medical device, and may be in the form of a scroll wheel forming a part of a removable control assembly

摘要： A portable electronic apparatus includes a first body, a second body pivotally connected to the first body, and a first keyboard detachably disposed on the first body. The first keyboard includes a casing, a plurality of keys disposed on the casing, a first base movably disposed in the casing, a knob disposed on the first base, a magnet fixed to the first base, a second base fixed into the casing and located above the first base, and an electromagnet fixed to the second base as corresponding to the magnet. A top surface of the knob is exposed from and higher than a top surface of the casing. The powered electromagnet generates a magnetic attraction force to the magnet to drive the first base to move towards the second base and increase a height difference between the top surface of the knob and the top surface of the casing.

摘要： A knob device is applicable to a touch panel. The knob device includes a knob cover, a plurality of sensing pads and a rotation sensing element. The plurality of sensing pads are fixedly arranged on the touch panel. A gap is form between two sensing pads. The plurality of sensing pads and gaps are distributed in a ring area around a center of an orthographic projection of the knob cover. The rotation sensing element is connected to the knob cover. When the knob cover is turned to be rotated, the rotation sensing element is rotated synchronously. When a user touches the knob device and the rotation sensing element overlaps one of the plurality of sensing pads, the touch panel generates a rotation sensing signal in response to a location of the rotation sensing element.

摘要： An input device includes a contact board, a rotary click cam, and fixed electrodes. The contact board is placed on a front surface of a touchscreen panel. The rotary click cam is provided rotatably around a rotational axis with respect to the contact board. The fixed electrodes are arranged on a lower surface of the contact board. The fixed electrodes are configured to, as the rotary click cam is operated, be switched from an electrically conductive state into an electrically non-conductive state, or vice versa. The fixed electrode includes a first shifted portion shifted by a first predetermined distance with respect to the fixed electrode. The fixed electrode includes a second shifted portion shifted by a second predetermined distance with respect to the fixed electrode.

摘要： Context-specific user interfaces, e.g., for use with a portable multifunction device, provide, inter alia, indications of time and, optionally, a variety of additional information. A user interface screen including a current time indicator and a first platter is displayed. The first platter is at a first position, is associated with a first application, and displays a first set of information obtained from the first application. The first set of information relates to a first temporal context of the current day. In response to detecting a user input, the first platter is displayed at a second position and a second platter is displayed at the first position. The second platter is associated with a second application and displays a second set of information obtained from the second application. The second set of information relates to a second temporal context of the current day.

摘要： An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a knob, a user interface (UI) module, and a human interface device (HID) module. The knob is configured to generate a motion signal. The UI module is configured to generate a setting signal. The HID module includes a first HID definition and a second HID definition stored therein and communicates with the UI module. The HID module interprets the motion signal based on the first HID definition or the second HID definition according to the setting signal to generate input information transferred to the operating system. A control method and a computer program product of the electronic device are also provided.
