    Abstract: A computing system includes an electronic device, a cover or case for the electronic device, and an input device that is slidably movable yet attached to the cover or case. By positioning the electronic device on top of the input device, rotation of the electronic device which changes its vertical viewing angle also translates the input device. These can provide improved overall possible viewing angle adjustability, increased system stability at high viewing angles, laptop-like opening and closing behavior, lighter weight, and implementation using low-cost components.

    Abstract: A rocker input mechanism includes an actuator that is operable to pivot against the interior surface of a housing through which an actuation surface of the actuator projects. Pivots or up-stops on the edges of the actuator are biased against the interior surface by dome switches contacting a switching surface of the actuator that is opposite the actuation surface. Thus, the actuator is able to pivot with respect to the interior surface to activate the dome switches when force is exerted on the actuation surface without bending or flexing like typical rocker buttons. As a result, the rocker input mechanism may have a feel to a user similar to non-rocking input mechanisms like single mode buttons.

    Abstract translation: 摇杆输入机构包括致动器,该致动器可操作以抵靠致动器的致动表面所投射的壳体的内表面。 致动器的边缘上的枢轴或上止动件通过接触与致动表面相对的致动器的切换表面的圆顶开关偏压到内表面。 因此,当力作用在致动表面上时,致动器能够相对于内表面枢转以启动圆顶开关,而不像典型的摇杆按钮弯曲或弯曲。 结果,摇杆输入机构可以具有与非摇摆输入机构类似的用户的感觉,如单模式按钮。
