Pressure operated touch input device e.g. touch pad, for e.g. notebook, has touch detection module which generates control signal, when module is carried from resting position to operating position, by pressure

摘要

The device has a touch detection module (220) with a transparent unit arranged in a carrier (100). The unit is moved between resting and operating positions against the carrier. The module detects the motion of the articles and can generate a corresponding track signal. A key switch (210) is operated and the module generates a control signal, when the module is carried from the resting position to the operating position, by pressure. An independent claim is also included for a pressure operated touch module comprising a key switch.
