Dispose coasting mechanism 25 in a side (bottom surface side) opposite with the input face 22b of input part 22.As shown in Figure 8, across coasting mechanism 25 and input media main body 24 input part 22 is set relatively.
Coasting mechanism 25 has a pair of parts of mutually combining sliding, one side's parts are fixed on the test section 22a, the opposing party's parts are fixed on the input media main body 24, and thus input part 22 being configured to can be with respect to input media main body 24 sliding.Coasting mechanism 25 can be the existing structure that has used spring etc.
With input part 22 be configured to can by coasting mechanism 25 on the direction of input face 22b, eight direction slidings of mind-set therefrom.On input media main body 24, as shown in Figure 7, around coasting mechanism 25, can dispose respectively switch 23 on the direction of sliding at input part 22.Input part in the present embodiment 2 moves test section 41 and is made of this switch 23.
Switch 23 is the push-button switchs with click feel.In present embodiment 2, used the touch-switch of so-called metal clips (metal dome) formula.Switch 23 is by the press switching part turn on-switch.It is relative with the side of coasting mechanism 25 that switch 23 is configured to switch portion.That is, the part formation that is fixed on the input part 2 of coasting mechanism 25 is roughly cylindric, and when making input part 22 sliding, the columnar side of coasting mechanism 25 contacts with switch 23, thus the switch of turn on-switch 23, i.e. starting switch.
Input part 22 and input part move test section 41 and are connected with signal processing part 42.To move the signal that generates in the test section 41 at input part 22 and input part and send to signal processing part 42.The signals such as the position of object A in input face 2b, amount of movement, translational speed, moving direction are sent to signal processing part 42 from input part 22.Move the enabling signal that test section 41 sends each switch 23 from input part.Then, processing input part 22 and input part move the signal of test section 41 and send to the outside as operation signal in signal processing part 42.Moving direction and speed as the operation signal output pointer.In addition, will export as the moving direction of the pointer corresponding with the position of the switch 23 of inputting from the enabling signal that input part moves the switch 23 that test section 41 sends.Input media 21 is connected with the control part of the information equipment that is provided with input media 21 via this signal processing part 42.
Signal processing part 42 can be set following at least three kinds of patterns: according to moving direction and the speed of the calculated signals pointer of input part 22, and the pattern of exporting as operation signal; Move moving direction and the speed of the calculated signals pointer of test section 41 according to input part 22 and input part, the pattern of exporting as operation signal; And move moving direction and the speed of the signal sets pointer of test section 41 according to input part, the pattern of exporting as operation signal.
The input media 21 that consists of as mentioned above is fixed on the main body or keyboard of notebook personal computer.In addition, the signal processing part 42 of input media 21 is connected with the control part of information equipment.Input media 21 is devices that the operator makes finger wait object A contact input face 22b to operate.Input part 22 is same with common touch pad, can be by making object A contact and inputting in input face 22b slip.In addition, such as Fig. 9 and shown in Figure 10, by making input part 22 along input face 22b sliding, can input.When making input part 22 sliding, produce click feel, the operator is felt operate.So, input media 21 can generate two different operation signals by an input media.
For example, the translational speed of the cursor that the translational speed of the cursor that the operation signal when making as sliding input part 22 sends sends during than touch operation input face 22b is large, can be when making object A in the operation that input face 22b slides mobile cursor minutely, can be when input part 22 be slided mobile cursor significantly.Therefore, can improve operability.Particularly switch 23 is pressed, when becoming on-state, gets final product on the object of cursor movement to the picture of its direction.So can further improve operability.In addition, when cursor is significantly moved, input part 22 slidings are got final product, so input face 22b there is no need greatlyr, can reduce input face 22b, with input media 21 miniaturizations.
In addition, in present embodiment 2, input part 22 is capacitance-types, still, so long as the contact-type input part of the position of inspected object A in input face 22b, amount of movement, translational speed, moving direction etc. gets final product when the object A such as the finger that makes operator contact input face 22b operates.In addition, in present embodiment 2, switch 23 is touch-switchs, but so long as the switch that input part 22 is switched on when predetermined direction slides get final product.
(embodiment 3)
At this, the input control device that has used above-mentioned input media is described.This input control device is the device that uses in the messaging devices such as notebook personal computer.As input media, both can be the input media 1 in the embodiment 1, also can be the input media 21 in the embodiment 2, in present embodiment 3, the situation of having used input media 21 is described.
As shown in figure 11, input control device 51 has input media 21 and control part 52.Control part 52 has pointer indicative control unit 61, icon indicative control unit 62 and icon judgement unit 63.
The initial position (coordinate) of the pointer 32 of pointer indicative control unit 61 reading pre-set as the pointer display position, is presented on the picture of display device 71 pointer 32 this initial position.Pointer 32 is looked like to show as arrow plot.Pointer indicative control unit 61 makes the summit of the arrow of pointer 32 become pointer display position ground to show.Pointer indicative control unit 61 is preserved pointer display position (coordinate) as pointer reference position (coordinate).
Pointer indicative control unit 61 makes pointer 32 mobile display in the picture 31 of display device 71 according to the operation signal of input media 21.Namely, pointer indicative control unit 61 is from input media 21 input moving directions and translational speed the time, calculate the pointer display position according to the pointer reference position of preserving, the moving direction of inputting and translational speed, from the pointer reference position to pointer display position mobile display pointer.The pointer display position calculates as the position moved the predetermined unit interval on the moving direction of inputting with the translational speed of being inputted after from the pointer reference position.Pointer indicative control unit 61 during each moving hand, is updated to up-to-date pointer display position with the pointer reference position.
Like this, for example as shown in figure 14, if the mode of carrying out describing certain track L by finger in the operation that input face 22b slides, then in the picture 31 of display device 71, describe as shown in Figure 15 the track L that size with picture 31 has enlarged matchingly.
The position (coordinate) of the icon 33 of icon indicative control unit 62 reading pre-set makes this position become middle heart display icon 33 on the picture 31 of display device 71 of icon 33.In addition, icon indicative control unit 62 is preserved the position of the icon 33 that reads as picture mark position.The viewing area of icon 33 forms the essentially rectangular shape more bigger than the demonstration image of icon 33.
Icon judgement unit 63 when having inputted saltus step (jumping) signal from input media 21, differentiates whether there is mobile destination described later icon.In the present embodiment, skip signal is the signal with the moving direction of the mobile corresponding pointer that moves the input part that test section detects by input part.That is, being is zero situation at the operation signal medium velocity that is made of translational speed and moving direction.In other words, be the situation of only having inputted the moving direction of pointer.
Icon judgement unit 63 is obtained pointer reference position and picture mark position in the moment of having inputted skip signal from pointer indicative control unit 61 and icon indicative control unit 62.Icon judgement unit 63, from the pointer reference position when the moving direction of the pointer of inputting extends straight line, differentiate the crossing icon 33 in viewing area whether this straight line and icon 33 are arranged.In other words, differentiate whether the icon 33 that intersects at first during moving hand on the moving direction of the pointer of inputting is arranged from the pointer reference position.When a plurality of such icon 33 was arranged, icon judgement unit 63 determined the most forward icon 33 in this icon 33.This icon that determines 33 is mobile destination icons.
Icon judgement unit 63 as differentiating the result, as the pointer display position, outputs to pointer indicative control unit 61 with near the position (coordinate) of the position (coordinate) of mobile destination icon.Its result is presented at pointer 32 near the icon of mobile destination by pointer indicative control unit 61.In addition, when not having mobile destination icon, near picture 31 edges that icon judgement unit 63 will be run into after the moving direction of the pointer of inputting extends straight line from the pointer reference position coordinate outputs to pointer indicative control unit 61 as the pointer display position.As a result, by pointer indicative control unit 61 pointer 32 is presented near picture 31 edges.
For example, when being positioned at position shown in Figure 12 in the picture 31 of pointer 32 in display device 71, make as shown in Figure 10 input part 22 slidings.So, the switch 23 that disposes at the line of travel of input part 22 starts, and via signal processing part 42 skip signal is input to icon judgement unit 63.As a result, by icon judgement unit 63 and pointer indicative control unit 61, pointer 32 moves near the position the icon 33 as shown in Figure 13.
The display control unit 51 that consists of as described above can carry out the operation of common pointer by input part 22, simultaneously as shown in figure 12, when pointer 32 and icon 33 distances are larger, can move starting switch 23 by making input part 22, make rapidly on the icon 33 that pointer movement exists to the moving direction at the pointer on the picture corresponding with the moving direction of input part 22 31.Like this, can pointer 32 be moved on the icon 33 by single touch, therefore improve operability.
