Abstract: In a capacitive touchpad, a plurality of sensing zones are defined, and a controller is connected with a plurality of scan lines for sensing a movement of an object slipping on the plurality of sensing zones, wherein at least one of the plurality of scan lines is connected to at least two of the plurality of sensing zones. The distance, speed and direction of the movement are determined by detecting the object on the touchpad at two positions upon two scans, and thereby the control of a scroll bar is accomplished. The capacitive touchpad is applied for a Z-axis arrangement on a mouse and a scroll arrangement on a keyboard.

Abstract: A UI device of a digital camera has a display screen, a left-side touch strip provided outside of and on a left side of the display screen and a right-side touch strip provided outside of and on a right side of the display screen. The touch strips 22 and 24 can distinguishably detect a slide operation in a vertical direction by the user and a slide operation in a horizontal direction by the user. When a slide operation in the vertical direction is detected, a controller of the UI device recognizes the operation as a manipulative instruction in which the amount of movement is considered important, such as an operation for selection of items or scrolling of a screen. When a slide operation in the horizontal direction is detected, the controller recognizes the slide operation as a triggering manipulative instruction in which the amount of movement is not as important, such as a file deletion instruction or display or non-display of a new hierarchical item.
