TW577025B - Input device equipped with motion sense feedback - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to an input device equipped with motion sense feedback, which is installed with a pressure detection pad with a through hole in the center. On top of the through hole a roller ball is installed; the roller ball partially expose the through hole of the detection pad and is installed with at least one activator so that while user is pressing the detection pad to control cursor on screen of an electronic screen. The control circuit of the input device can operate activator to make the roller ball generate rotation reversely to or in proportion to the pressure in accordance with the pressed pressure and orientation. As such, while user is pressing the detection pad, the direction and speed of the cursor movement on screen can be sensed in terms of the rotation of the roller ball at the same time so as to quickly and precisely position cursor to the desired location with the sense.

Description

577025 ------- --___ V. Description of the invention (l) — '"' —— Background of the invention: The above text is an input device with motion sensory feedback, especially a pressure perception of the input device There is a ball on the central perforation of the pad. When eight users touch the sensing pad, the ball can roll according to the pressure of the touch and the direction of the opposite direction and proportional to the pressure. You can feel the direction and speed of the screen cursor moving from the rolling of the ball], so you can use this feeling to quickly and accurately position the cursor to the desired position. Previous skills: The world today is an era of vigorous information development. Various technological products derived from computers have developed rapidly, and they have not only shortened the distance between people's time and space, It is closely related to our lives and cannot be separated. With the continuous development of various types of information products, especially for the wide application of pen-type computers, people's requirements for the quality of portable computers have also increased relatively. Can portable computers in the future provide more convenience and efficiency? Services have become one of the important indicators for evaluating the manufacturing technology of information products in various countries. Early portable computers (portable computers) were not light, about 7 to 14 kilograms, while laptop computers (iaptoop computer) were about 4 to 7 kilograms. However, notebook computers currently on the market (Notebook computer) is only about 1-4 kilograms. The research and development of the body, in terms of weight and volume, in addition to constantly designing the main shaft for light, thin, short, and small, it also continues to be oriented in all directions.

5T7〇25 发明, invention description (2) = 1 = 2 = its research and development trend. From the perspective of the current information market, the fierce privacy of the sales force of the brothers, each τ-Γ person can only be used as a metaphor. For the notebook computer in the case of numerous brands, for the sake of consumers, Yili has become a great pressure, but in this situation, people are not good, and "quotes, ..., increase the opportunities for many choices, so you can buy one with V: 1 each with a humane, Versatile Pen II: Month ® 'will be one of the important factors for computer companies to stand out from the competitive information market. Notebook computer (notebook computer), as the name suggests, Department = Shi Tongbi pen Lu Jiben-can be covered or opened, so it is extremely 5I portability. The main system includes a display screen and a host, the display The screen and # 二 、 之间 'are connected by at least-the pivot. 显示 The display screen can usually be covered on the host computer. When a user wants to use the #: 1 computer sun temple, just borrow From these pivots, the display screen is made to have one axis and two turns, and after flipping to the proper position and angle, the user can press a keyboard set on the host to enter information into the The host, you can use a communication line to transmit the information to the display screen, and use the display to show the vigorous development of content-related application software, especially various windows. Interface operating system. (Such as Microsoft Windows software, Windows) are widely used, and the keyboard is the main way to issue instructions to these operating systems, such as ^ operation causes a lot of inconvenience, for example, for the display 2:; it Am ' If you only use the keyboard as a direction to control the displacement of the indicator, or as the only way to open the icon, this will cause many operations on page 6 3) Normally, the inconvenience and difficulty of simple operation are eliminated. Therefore, in addition to the keyboard, the notebook computer is provided with at least one index control device (P0nting device), which can be used to control the operation process of other operating systems. Enhance the beauty of this indicator. In addition to the keyboard, the most input device (input device) is a mouse, and the mouse for human mining is also an indicator control device. The so-called indicator control device ^ & (p〇intlng device), as its name implies, refers to all input devices that can control pcunter (input heart ""), preface, using indicators to control device operation with a window-like interface Such as:, windows software, a), or other hand-type = application brain is quite easy. With the evolution of the times, various index control devices that have the same function as ~ 二 之 电 have been continuously researched and developed, including: Standard 2 L has become a notebook computer for example. I. touch points (pointi ' The touch point is made of rubber material: outside: 糸 囫 cylindrical shape, which is often protruding on some keys of the keyboard ^ 砚: type = mechanical touch type 'as long as you put your finger; Ϊ́; control following: the turtle's point is moved by the finger 丄 ,, r, ^ controls the moving direction of the 軚 軚 (P〇lnter). 2. 〇UC Pad), is also a kind of commonly used in notebook type mine "μ 工Cai Yue private control device, its operation is extremely simple, σ. The control panel moves on the shame, and the touchpad can control the movement of the pointer (pointer) by the direction of the movement of the touch. ^ 77025 V. Description of the invention (4) Outward appearance :: "Laptop notebook computer" In addition to the host can be externally connected with the slider m ^ ^ ㊉a is also provided with a touchpad, the touchpad is based on the finger Press == the direction of the upper screen of the glory screen, and the second speed according to the pressure of the finger touch input, the faster, however, the user uses the touchpad to touch: I ,, i can only judge the screen upstream with the eyes To move the target, the most important thing is to set it up: Set the sensor ;: The target moves, so it is often difficult to move the cursor on the instrument, which is very inconvenient. Outline of the invention The invention moved to many devices that want to check the technology through an unknown technique, the perforation, the perforation, and the pad, when the circuit is made can produce the opposite side of the pad, the direction and the person's position Accumulation on the study of broken, lack of sense of movement. One of the goals of the Ming Dynasty is to avoid the need for a conventional touchpad to make it difficult for users to position the cursor. It is based on their lack of experience in the manufacture of electronic devices. They carefully studied various solutions based on the lack of description. The input device for detecting feedback is not able to eliminate the previous ^ 1 series is provided with a mobile feel feedback pressure sensing perforation is provided with at least one ball, which drives and controls an electronic device screen pressure and force are proportional to the ball The roll can use the basis to be pressed by the pressure and the speed can be simultaneously with the pressure, so 塾, the center of the perception 塾 penetrates the roller ball to protrude the sensor, so that when the user touches the upstream mark, the input Set the direction, control the driver to make it scroll, 俾 the user touches' feel the screen upstream feeling, fast and accurate wheel is equipped with the knowing sensing equipment, the rolling and the standard shifting game
