New description: [New technical field] This creation relates to the field of electronic input devices, and more particularly to a roller device for an electronic input device such as a mouse. [Prior Art] . The important input device of the squeaky computer, almost all computers are equipped with a mouse, people can use the slippery button to click on the webpage, and can also use the scrolling between the left and right buttons. Turning pages, etc. Existing mouse rollers typically produce an open (or open) and closed (open) action in two ways to achieve a particular slip a response function. One way is to use a reed switch, that is, a magnet to attract the metal shrapnel in the reed switch to engage and actuate the conduction of the switch. This method is required to occupy the shrapnel with a high hardness material. Larger; and the contact of the metal shrapnel is used to generate the conduction action of the switch. The noise is large and the problem of ploughing and wear is easy to occur, thereby affecting the life of the component. In addition, this method requires a strong magnetic force to be sufficient for the magnetic cymbal. Tube • The shrapnel of β attracts the joints together. Therefore, magnets with stronger magnetic force must be used, which increases the cost of the product. Another way is to use Hall sensing element to sense, that is, the magnet makes the Hall sensing element to induce conduction and opening, as shown in the figure, the sensing area of the Hall element, wherein the magnetic part 42 For example, a magnet is disposed directly above the Hall sensing element 40, and the magnetic line of the magnetic member 42 must be kept cut (to be distributed over a coplanar magnetic field line) to the surface of the vertical Hall sensing element 4 以 relative to the magnetic member. The radial magnetic field response of 42 is such that the Hall sensing element 4 can be located in the Hall sensing element 40 and the magnetic 3 is placed in the space towel 'induction area, the paste area γ, the γ rhyme x_z plane, the magnetic induction part of the creation roller device 14 (magnetoresistive sensor wafer) except that it can be placed in a vertical position and passed through a radial position with a magnetic member, the position of the village is set on the other magnetically-receivable member 16 that can be received by the roller. The direction of the cross section of the miscellaneous surface is offset with other offset positions. The silk device of the present invention is turned over to various electronic input devices such as a mouse, a keyboard and a remote controller, such as a mouse, a keyboard volume key, and the like. As shown in Fig. 6, it is an internal structure diagram of an electronic input device to which the first embodiment of the present invention is applied. The electronic input device (8) is a slip-on computer connected to the computer, which includes a scroll device 10, a microprocessor 20, and a printed circuit board (PCB). The roller device 10 includes a roller 12 and a magnetic induction member 丨4. The roller 12 is rotatable about a rotating shaft 122, and the rotating shaft 22 is parallel to the printed circuit board 3G. The roller 12 may be any one of a disc, a disc, a cylinder or a spherical shape, or may be non-circular. In the preferred embodiment, the roller 12 has a disk shape. A magnetic member 丨6 is distributed along the circumferential surface of the roller 12. In the preferred embodiment, the magnetic member 16 is a magnet. The magnetic induction member 14 is a magnetoresistive sensor (MR Sensor 1C), which is disposed under the roller 12 and connected to the microprocessor 20, and is disposed on the printed circuit board 3 at a position sensed by the magnetic member 16. In the preferred embodiment, the magnetic induction member 14 is disposed directly below the roller 12, and the microprocessor 20 is also disposed on the printed circuit board 3. The magnetoresistive sensor is a single integrated busy (integrated circuit) chip that integrates a CMOS sensor and a magnetoresistive component, and has an inductive amplification circuit built in. Therefore, compared with the prior art using the Hall element sensing roller device, there is no need to provide an additional inductive amplifying circuit on the printed circuit board 30, and the cost is low, and the magnetoresistive sensor passes the CMOS 1C chip and the magnetic device. The original body of the resistive element is integrated into one body, and the smaller volume of the M376827 can be obtained, so that the printed circuit board 3G of the roller device 1G has a larger design space. Furthermore, the magnetoresistive sensor used in the present invention has a larger sense of sensitivity to the magnetic member 16 than the Hall sensing element. This can set the magnetic age M to be parallel to the roller η. In a position (offset position) in which the face wheel 12 is vertical and does not pass through the turning direction, (the magnetic induction member 14 of the horizontal plane as shown in FIG. 5 is moved along the horizontal plane or the magnetic induction member 14 of the vertical plane is face-to-faced. When the mine is in the proper position, the magnetic induction element M can be sensed again. 7 is a schematic view showing the internal structure of an electronic input device to which the second embodiment of the present invention is applied, wherein the winding shaft 122 is perpendicular to the printed circuit board 3, and the configuration of other components can be similar to that of FIG. Narration. It can be understood that since the present invention uses a magnetic induction member, the sensing area is wider than that of the conventional Hall element. Therefore, the arrangement of the magnetic member 16 on the roller 12 can be different, but the purpose of sensing is achieved. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11, FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 are schematic side views showing the arrangement of the magnetic members 16 on the roller. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are any of the single magnetic members 16 disposed on the roller 12. Position, and the two poles of the magnetic member 16 are located on the diameter of the same diameter. In FIG. 1 , a plurality of magnetic members 16 are disposed on the radial surfaces of the same diameter and length, and the two poles of the magnetic member 16 are located on the radial surfaces of the same diameter and length; in FIG. 11 , the plurality of magnetic members 丨 6 are continuously arranged in the close diameters. The long diameter surface 'and the two poles of the magnetic member 16 are located on the diameter surface of the same diameter and length; in FIG. 12, the plurality of magnetic members 16 are arranged continuously or at intervals on the diameter surfaces of different diameters, and the two poles of the magnetic member π The single magnetic member 16 is disposed on the radial surface of FIG. 13 , and the two poles of the magnetic member 16 are located on the radial surfaces of different radial lengths. Next, although the magnetic induction members 14 shown in Figs. 8, 9, 1 and η, Figs. 12 and 13 are responsive to the radial magnetic field of the magnetic member 16, as shown in Fig. 2, the above magnetic properties are shown. Piece 16 configuration can also be applied to the magnetic induction device μ system for 7
