    摘要: An operation input device includes a button, a reaction generator, and a drive. The button includes an operation surface to be depressed by a user and a first contact located opposite to the operation surface. The button is rotatable about a first rotation axis. The reaction generator includes a second contact to be in contact with the first contact. The reaction generator is rotatable about a second rotation axis. The drive applies, to the reaction generator, a drive force for causing rotation about the second rotation axis. The drive applies, to the button, through the second contact and the first contact, a reaction force in a direction opposite to a direction in which the operation surface of the button is depressed. The second rotation axis is located outward from the first contact in a radial direction from the first rotation axis.

    摘要: A tactile switch on a mobile electronic device having a housing is provided. The tactile switch is comprised of a pressure sensitive interface on an exterior portion of the housing, a switch mechanism, and at least one pathway coupled to the pressure sensitive interface and extending from the pressure sensitive interface to the switch mechanism. The switch mechanism is at a remote location from the pressure sensitive interface. The pathway is formed in an interior portion of the housing. The tactile switch further includes a viscous fluid substantially filling the pathway. The tactile switch is configured such that when pressure is applied to the pressure sensitive interface, the viscous fluid exerts pressure on the switch mechanism, causing the switch to make an electrical contact.

    摘要: Various embodiments provide keyboards that utilize electrically-deformable material as an actuating mechanism to provide haptic feedback to a user of the keyboard. In at least some embodiments, the electrically-deformable material is utilized to impart, to a depressed key or keyboard element, a multi-vectored movement that produces a perceived acceleration of the key or keyboard element thus providing a user with haptic feedback which simulates a snapover movement. In at least some embodiments, a key or keyboard element can be associated with comparatively little or no actuation force and/or travel distance. As a result, the amount of work necessary to actuate the key or keyboard element can be significantly decreased or eliminated.
