摘要： An inputting apparatus for use in an electronic device, etc., that includes: a case, which has a through-hole and which forms an interior space; an upper movement key, which has a portion exposed to the exterior through the through-hole and which is movable in certain directions in a plane; an elastic member, which is secured to the case and which supports the upper movement key, such that if the upper movement key deviates from the center of the through-hole, the elastic member returns the upper movement key to the center by elastic force; and a lower movement key, which is coupled with the upper movement key with the elastic member positioned in-between, so that information may be inputted in correspondence to the movement of the upper movement key. The apparatus allows convenient manipulation and reduced overall thickness, while allowing manipulation with only a small amount of force.

摘要： An information inputting device and inputting method therefor are disclosed. The information inputting device includes a case, a rotary inputting device which has a rotatable wheel and which is secured to the inside of the case, where the entire surface of the wheel is exposed to the exterior of the case and the rotary inputting device is capable of inputting information by means of the rotation of the wheel, an optical module secured to the inside of the case which recognizes the movement of the case, and a wire connected to an external device which transfers the information inputted by the rotary inputting device and the information recognized by the optical module to the external device. Information may be inputted using such an information inputting device by means of the rotation of the wheel. As the information inputting device has a small volume, it allows convenient portability.
