Abstract

This invention relates to a rotator translating angular movement into an output representation. In particular, this invention relates to a rotator input device for detecting user interaction. The rotator input device comprises a rotator element arranged on a support enabling angular and tilting movement of the rotator element relative to rotational axis of the rotator element and having an operating surface perpendicular to the axis. The rotator input device further comprises a motion detector for detecting angular movement of the rotator element, a switching assembly for detecting tilting movement of the rotator element during depression of the operating surface and comprises a first plurality switching elements arranged below the operating surface and substantially along the periphery of the rotator element.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a rotator that converts angular motion into an output display. Specifically, the present invention relates to a rotator for a mobile communication device, by rotating the rotator, a user of the mobile communication device can browse a user interface. Background of the invention [0002] A mobile communication device, such as a mobile communication device, a satellite phone, a mobile phone or a mobile phone, generally includes a display screen and a keypad as an interface connecting the mobile communication device and a user. [0003] The size of a mobile communication device is mainly limited by the size of the display screen and keyboard. It is desirable for mobile communication devices to be compact so that users can carry the mobile communication device in their pockets. Although both the display and keyboard are reduced in size, the display must be large enough so that the text it displays is large enough for t...
