Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an information input device.
With the development of portable multimedia devices and the high functionality of televisions, there is a demand for an input device that can be mounted directly on a portable device or mounted on a device such as a remote controller to perform various functions.
In other words, according to the high functionalization of portable devices and televisions, an input device capable of freely moving a pointer like a mouse of a computer is needed, instead of simply using a four-way key method. (touch screen), tack ball (small) mouse, and the like has been proposed.
However, in these methods, a problem is that it is relatively expensive and difficult to accurately point, or the screen is covered by a finger, making it difficult to see the entire screen.
The present invention provides an information input device that can be manufactured at a relatively low cost and that can input various information.
According to one aspect of the invention, the information including a direction button for receiving direction information by the action of the load, and a direction switch that is pressed by the direction button, to generate a different kind of direction signal according to the magnitude of the applied load An input device is provided.
The direction switch may be arranged in plurality along the edge of the direction button.
The direction switch may be arranged at regular intervals.
The direction switch may be a dome switch including a plurality of contacts.
The plurality of contacts may be operated by a first load to generate a pointer direction signal for pointer movement in a display image, and a second load greater than the first load by the action of the first load. Thereby, a second contact for generating an activation area direction signal for movement of the activation area in the display image.
The first contact may be formed at both sides on the direction switch, and the second contact may be formed at the center on the direction switch.
The information input device is pressed by a selection button for receiving selection information for execution of contents corresponding to an icon or a menu item of a display image by the action of a load, and a selection button to execute the contents. It may further include a selection switch for generating a selection signal for.
The selection button may be integrally formed with the direction button and positioned at the center of the direction button.
The selection switch may generate a switching signal for moving only one of the pointer and the activation area by the action of the third load maintained for a preset time.
The information input device receives a pointer direction signal or an activation area direction signal from the direction switch, respectively, and outputs a pointer movement signal for moving the pointer or an activation area movement signal for moving the activation area, respectively, and receives a selection signal from the selection switch. The control unit may further include a control unit configured to output an execution signal for executing the content, and output only one of the pointer movement signal and the activation area movement signal by receiving the switching signal from the selection switch.
The information input device may further include a printed circuit board having a direction switch installed on one surface thereof and having a direction button coupled thereto to cover the direction switch.
The information input device may further include a transmission member interposed between the directional button and the directional switch to transmit a load acting by the directional button to the directional switch.
The lower portion of the transmission member may be formed with a pressing protrusion to correspond to the position of the direction switch.
The information input device may further include an elastic member for elastically supporting the transmission member.
The information input device may further include a holder that covers at least a portion of the transfer member to support the transfer member.
According to the present invention, an information input device manufactured at a relatively low cost and capable of inputting various information can be implemented.
