example 1

[0036] Example 1 is an input device for providing scrolling input to an application, the input device comprising: a scroll wheel; and a control circuit configured to precisely provide a predetermined number of steps of the scrolling input for each instance of rotation of the scroll wheel, Regardless of the angle the scroll wheel turns through in a turn instance.

[0037] In Example 2, the subject matter of Example 1 optionally includes a detection circuit configured to detect at least one of a beginning of an instance of rotation of the scroll wheel or an end of an instance of rotation of the scroll wheel.

[0038] In Example 3, the subject matter of Example 2 optionally includes the detection circuit configured to detect at least one of a beginning of an instance of rotation or an end of an instance of rotation when a change in a speed of rotation of the scroll wheel exceeds a predetermined threshold.

[0039] In Example 4, the subject matter of Example 2 or Example 3 optiona...

example 15

[0050] Example 15 is a method of providing scrolling input to an application, the method comprising: providing a scroll wheel; and providing exactly a predetermined number of steps of the scrolling input for each instance of rotation of the scroll wheel, regardless of the number of steps the scroll wheel rotates through in the instance of rotation Angle.

[0051] In Example 16, the subject matter of Example 15 optionally includes detecting at least one of a beginning of an instance of rotation of the scroll wheel or an end of an instance of rotation of the scroll wheel.

[0052] In Example 17, the subject matter of Example 16 optionally includes detecting at least one of a beginning of an instance of rotation or an end of an instance of rotation comprising detecting a change in a speed of rotation of the scroll wheel and determining whether the change exceeds a predetermined threshold.

[0053] In Example 18, the subject matter of Example 16 or Example 17 optionally includes d...

example 21

[0056] Instance 21 is a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of providing scrolling input using an input device, the method Including providing exactly a predetermined number of steps of scrolling input for each instance of rotation of a scroll wheel of the input device, regardless of the angle through which the scroll wheel is turned in the instance of rotation.

Abstract

According to various embodiments, there is provided an input device for providing a scrolling input to an application, the input device including a scroll wheel and a control circuit configured to provide exactly one step of scrolling input for every instance of rotation of the scroll wheel regardless of an angle that the scroll wheel is rotated through in the instance of rotation.

Description

technical field [0001] Various embodiments relate to an input device and method for providing scrolling input to an application. Background technique [0002] An input device such as a computer mouse may be provided with a scroll wheel. A scroll wheel may be used to provide scrolling input in a computer application running on a computing device coupled to an input device. The scroll wheel can be useful for quickly selecting items from menus or scrolling through pages. In first-person shooter (FPS) games, the scroll wheel is often used to scroll through abilities, items, or weapons to use. In emulator games, the scroll wheel can also be used to pan the field of view. The amount of rotation of the scroll wheel is converted into an input, for example, the amount of rotation indicates the number of items to scroll through. In order to provide tactile feedback to the user as to the amount of rotation, the scroll wheel is usually designed with detents so that the scroll wheel ...
