Electronic Input Device

Abstract

An electronic input device disclosed by the present invention comprises a pedestal, an operating part, a touch detection module and a rotation detection module. The operating part possesses a top surface, a bottom surface and a key, and is arranged in a groove by using the bottom surface facing the groove of the pedestal. The top surface is protruded out of the pedestal and comprises a touch area and a non-touch area, the key is arranged on the top surface, and the touch area is adjacent to the key. The operating part can rotate relative to the pedestal, the touch detection module is arranged on the operating part to detect the touch operation in the touch area. The rotation detection module is arranged between the operating part and the pedestal to detect the rotation of the bottom surface relative to the groove. Users can place a single hand on the top surface to carry out the key, touch or rotation operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electronic input device, in particular to an electronic input device with multiple input modes. Background technique [0002] A general mouse or a trackball mouse usually only provides buttons, scroll wheels, and plane movement input methods, so it usually only provides the movement function in the two-dimensional direction (X-axis and Y-axis) of the plane, and the movement in the three-dimensional direction (Z-axis) Operation can only be realized with keyboard operation. For example, if you need to zoom in and out of webpage content, in addition to clicking the function menu of the browser, another way is to press the Ctrl key on the keyboard, and then use the mouse wheel to achieve it. As another example, for drawing 3D animations and CAD models, because a general mouse or a trackball mouse cannot provide object operations in three-dimensional directions (X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis) at the same time (such as zooming, rotat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although touch can provide a variety of inputs, the movement of this type of touch mouse in the two-dimensional direction (X-axis and Y-axis) of the plane is still realized by the movement of the entire device. Therefore, like the aforementioned general mouse, a certain amount of operating space is still required. , causing restrictions on the use of
