    Abstract: The present invention relates to a controller for controlling an electronic device. The invention may e.g. be used to control a headset or another electronic device connected to the controller.The controller (1) comprises an elongate controller body (3) having a first body end (4) and a second body end (5). The controller body (3) comprises an elongate rotatable body section (10) adapted to be rotated by a user about a longitudinal axis (11) extending through the first body end (4) and the second body end (5). The rotatable body section (10) has a radially outer side surface (12) extending between a first section end (13) near the first body end (4) and a second section end (14) near the second body end (5). The rotatable body section (10) has a size and shape allowing the user to rotate the rotatable body section (10) about the longitudinal axis (11) by performing a rolling action using three or more fingers (21, 22, 23). The controller (1) further comprises a sensing means (30) adapted to detect a rotation of the rotatable body section (10) about the longitudinal axis (11) and to provide a control signal (Sc) indicating one or more control commands to the electronic device in dependence on detecting a rotation.The controller (1) is characterized in that the sensing means (30) further is adapted to distinguish between a three-finger rolling action and a corresponding two-finger rolling action and to provide the control signal (Se) in dependence on detecting a three-finger rolling action.This may provide a controller (1) with a significantly reduced rate of “false alarms” as well as an unobtrusive, reliable and at the same time simple and easy-to-use interface to the user.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于控制电子设备的控制器。 本发明可以例如 用于控制连接到控制器的耳机或其他电子设备。 控制器(1)包括具有第一主体端(4)和第二主体端(5)的细长控制器主体(3)。 控制器主体(3)包括细长的可旋转主体部分(10),其适于由使用者围绕延伸穿过第一主体端部(4)和第二主体端部(5)的纵向轴线(11)旋转。 可旋转主体部分(10)具有在第一主体端(4)附近的第一部分端部(13)和靠近第二主体端部(5)的第二部分端部(14)之间延伸的径向外侧表面(12)。 旋转主体部分(10)具有允许使用者通过使用三根或更多根手指(21,22,23)进行滚动动作使该可转动主体部分(10)围绕纵向轴线(11)旋转的尺寸和形状。 控制器(1)还包括适于检测可旋转主体部分(10)围绕纵向轴线(11)的旋转的感测装置(30),并且向控制器(1)提供指示一个或多个控制命令的控制信号 电子设备依赖于检测旋转。 控制器(1)的特征在于,感测装置(30)还适用于区分三指滚动动作和相应的双手指滚动动作,并且根据检测到的三指滚动动作来提供控制信号(Se) 手指滚动动作。 这可以为控制器(1)提供显着降低的“假警报”速率以及不显眼,可靠并且同时向用户简单且易于使用的界面。
