Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1 A first embodiment of the input mechanism according to the present invention is shown. In particular, the input mechanism 1 includes a non-rotatable touch-sensitive input device 10 configured to detect the appearance, position, and / or movement of a user input component to provide at least the appearance, position of the user input component The functionality of the detection and / or movement detection. The touch-sensitive input device 10 includes a supporting element 12 having a touch pad 11 placed on the top, which is arranged to detect the user's input components. Generally, the touch-sensitive input device 10 can be considered as a type of proximity sensor device used in various electronic systems. This proximity sensor device includes a sensing area placed on the top of the touch panel 11 in this embodiment (for example, Figure 5 The touch-sensitive area 28) is shown in the front view. Such sensing areas are usually delimited by a surface that uses capaci...

Abstract

An input apparatus (1 ) comprises a touch sensitive input device (10) configured so as to detect a presence, location and / or movement of a user input member to provide at least a first input functionality, and a rotatable input device (20) having a rotary portion (21) which is rotatable in at least one rotary direction (24) by a user to provide at least a second input functionality, wherein the rotary portion (21) is rotatable independently from the touch sensitive input device (10). The touch sensitive input device (10) is arranged underneath the rotary portion (21) of the rotatable input device in a manner that the presence, location and / or movement of the user input member is detectable through the rotary portion (21) of the rotatable input device. The touch sensitive input device (50) may also be arranged adjacent to the rotary portion (61) of the rotatable input device in a manner that the rotary portion is rotatable around side portions (55) of the touch sensitive input device (50).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an input mechanism, which includes a touch-sensitive input device that facilitates detecting the appearance, position, and / or movement of a user input component, and a rotatable input device having a rotating part that can rotate in at least one rotation direction. Background technique [0002] An input mechanism with a touch-sensitive input device is generally used in an electronic system. For example, it is used to move a cursor on a display screen by using a user's input component, such as the movement of a user's finger. Touch-sensitive input devices typically include sensing (or sensing) areas usually marked on a surface, which use capacitive, resistive, inductive, optical, and / or other technologies to determine the user’s finger and / Or the appearance, location and / or movement of other objects. Touch-sensitive input devices can be used to provide input to electronic systems. For example, touch-sensitive input device...
