Problems solved by technology

[0007] The disadvantage of the '381 solution is that the mouse is only semi-elliptical, which reduces the motion possibilities, especially the roll, pitch and / or roll of the mouse

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Figure 1A with Figure 1B A schematic diagram of the system according to the invention is presented. in Figure 1A , The input device 101 having a spherical form rests on a flat surface 107. The device 101 includes an internal circuit module 106 that houses internal circuits. image 3 More details of the internal circuit modules are presented in.

[0029] The internal circuit module is positioned at the center of the ball 101 and needs to be balanced at the center without causing movement of the device 101 on a flat surface (or positively speaking, in order to keep the ball device 101 stationary on a flat surface).

[0030] The device 101 includes an outer wall 102 and an inner wall 103, the outer wall and the inner wall forming a cavity 105 in which the rheological fluid 104 is disposed. Preferably, the distance between the outer wall 102 and the inner wall 103 is as small as possible. The outer wall 102 and the inner wall 103 have a spherical shape, and in a preferred emb...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a system for balancing an input device comprising: a spherical device having an outer spherical wall and an inner spherical wall, the system further comprising an internal circuit module housing the internal circuitry and positioned at the center of the spherical device and balanced in said center so as to keep the spherical device balanced on a flat surface; a cavity, which is formed between the outer spherical wall and the inner spherical wall; rheological fluid, which is placed in the cavity, wherein the volume of the rheological fluid is low 50% of the volume of the cavity, and such that the weight of the rheological fluid exceeds the weight of the spherical device without the rheological fluid; wherein at least one of the outer spherical wall and the inner spherical wall includes a rheological fluid activation device, which is configured to change a state of the rheological fluid; and a rheological fluid activation controller configured to control the rheological fluid activation device in response to occurrence of a predefined condition such that the spherical device can switch between a free rolling state and a stationary state.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for balancing input devices such as computer input devices. Background technique [0002] According to Wikipedia, in computing, an input device is any peripheral device (a piece of computer hardware equipment) used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system such as a computer or other information appliances. Examples of input devices include keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras, and joysticks. [0003] There is a subgroup of pointing devices, which are input devices used to specify a location in space. Examples involving indirect input include mouse and trackball. [0004] Prior art publication US20100039381A1 entitled "Rotatable input device" discloses a computer mouse including a surface tracking sensor that detects the movement of the computer mouse along a supporting surface. It also includes one or more orientation sensors that detect the movement of the computer mou...
