Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, most portable electronic devices are equipped with flat input devices, such as keyboards, handwriting pads, or flat touch pads, or require a flat input device for operation, such as a mouse, but these input devices do not meet the experience of reading books. In addition, the volume of foldable e-books or e-paper is smaller than that of portable electronic devices, and its user interface is not suitable for using the above-mentioned traditional flat input devices

Abstract

The invention relates to a columnar input device, which is used for controlling an electronic device. The columnar input device can input two-dimensional data and transmit the two-dimensional data to the electronic device. In an embodiment, the columnar input device is provided with a camber touch module which is arranged on a columnar body. In another embodiment, the columnar body of the columnar input device is provided with a plurality of surface directions; a plurality of touch modules are arranged in different surface directions of the columnar body respectively, and are used for inputting the two-dimensional data respectively; and the two-dimensional data is integrated into two-dimensional data in the same surface direction. Therefore, the columnar input device has the advantages ofspace saving, accordance with the body study, and suitability for single-hand operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input device of an electronic device, in particular to a columnar input device conveniently used for reading electronic books. Background technique [0002] Flat panel display technology has matured day by day, and many portable electronic devices can be configured with a screen of more than 4 o'clock, which is enough to display finer digital information content. Furthermore, there are currently many research units investing a lot of resources in the development of flexible displays, a bendable and foldable display that can be stretched when needed and folded when not in use. This technology can be applied to e-books or e-paper, allowing this Portable electronic devices are more user-friendly in use. Since people often do some control actions when reading digital content, such as pulling the scroll, changing pages or marking on digital content, a convenient and friendly input device is an extremely important item for portab...
