Abstract

The scrolling wheel is moveable in two directions to shift a cursor across a display. The wheel moves with a sliding action in one direction, and also moves sideways against a spring. Other functions are provided by a rolling action.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf Scrollräder, insbesondere für Handys und Fernsteuerungen.The invention relates to scroll wheels, especially for cell phones and remote controls.

Bei herkömmlichen Scrollrädern - in breiterer Ausführung Navi(gations)-Roller genannt -, wie sie auch für Handys eingesetzt werden (siehe Nokia 7110), fehlt die Möglichkeit der waagerechten Cursorsteuerung z. B. für die Menü-Auswahl, so daß dazu weitere Tasten vorzusehen sind.With conventional scroll wheels - in a wider version Navi (gations) scooter - as used for mobile phones (see Nokia 7110), there is no possibility of horizontal Cursor control e.g. B. for menu selection, so that more Buttons must be provided.

Um die Cursorsteuerung auch in waagerechter Richtung über ein Scrollrad realisieren zu können, wird das Scrollrad in axialer Richtung verschiebbar gelagert, wobei die seitliche Verschiebung des Scrollrades gegen einen Federwiderstand erfolgt. Zwei weitere Funktionen können dadurch realisiert werden, daß das Scrollrad im heruntergedrücktem Zustand seitlich verschoben wird. Ebenso kann die Drehung des Scrollrades selbst im heruntergedrücktem Zustand zur Realisierung weiterer Funktionen genutzt werden.To move the cursor control in a horizontal direction too To be able to implement the scroll wheel, the scroll wheel becomes axial Directionally mounted, the lateral displacement of the Scroll wheel against a spring resistance. Two more Functions can be realized in that the scroll wheel in depressed state is laterally shifted. Likewise, the Rotation of the scroll wheel even when pressed down Realization of additional functions can be used.

Letzteres gilt auch für Computer-Mäuse, die mit einem herkömmlichen - nicht seitlich verschiebbaren - Scrollrad ausgestattet sind. Diese unterschiedliche Funktionsbelegung könnte z. B. bei einer Computer-Maus für das erfindungsgemäße Scrollrad wie folgt aussehen:
The latter also applies to computer mice that are equipped with a conventional scroll wheel that cannot be moved sideways. This different function assignment could e.g. B. look like this for a computer mouse for the scroll wheel according to the invention:

  • - Die Drehung des Scrollrades im nichtheruntergedrücktem Zustand führt zu zeilenweisem und im heruntergedrücktem Zustand zu seitenweisem Scrollen - in der betr. Richtung.- The rotation of the scroll wheel when not depressed State leads to line by line and depressed State of page-by-page scrolling - in the relevant direction.
  • - Die seitliche Verschiebung des Scrollrades führt zu spaltenweisem Scrollen und im heruntergedrücktem Zustand zu seitenweisem Scrollen in der betr. horizontalen Richtung.- The lateral displacement of the scroll wheel leads to column-by-column scrolling and when pressed down scrolling page by page in the horizontal direction.
  • - Der einfache und der doppelte Klick mit dem Scrollrad könnten dann noch mit weiteren Funktionen belegt werden.- The single and double click with the scroll wheel could then be assigned further functions.

Bei einem Handy wäre die seitliche Verschiebung des Scrollrades sinnvoller mit Menüfunktionen zu belegen.In the case of a cell phone, the scroll wheel would be moved sideways more useful to assign with menu functions.

Der Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Scrollrades ist nicht auf Computer-Mäuse und Handys beschränkt. Insbesondere können damit auch tastaturlose Fernsteuerungen realisiert werden.The use of the scroll wheel according to the invention is not limited to Limited to computer mice and cell phones. In particular, it can also keyboardless remote controls can be realized.
