A computer mouse includes a housing, one or more processors disposed in the housing, and a trackball and a scroll bar configured on a top side of the housing and controlled by the one or more processors. The scroll bar has a width that is at least twice a diameter of the scroll bar. The housing has a triangular shape defined by three corners and three sides, each of the three sides coupled to a corresponding two of the three corners. A center of the trackball is configured at a location between a center point of the top side of the housing and a first corner of the three corners. The scroll bar can be configured between the center point of the top side of the housing and a first side of the three sides, the first side being opposite the first corner of the three corners.

Input device for users with limited mobility

Input device

A capture device for remote, virtual on screen data input by hand annotation comprises at least three functional layers including a bottom rigid layer, a middle pressure sensor layer and a top flexible layer. The bottom rigid layer has a surface that provides a mechanical support for writing. The middle pressure sensor layer is adapted to measuring a pressure array or map on the capture active area and to send data representing the measured pressure to a personal computer. The top flexible touch-sensitive passive LCD display layer includes an LCD surface by which whatever is written down on the LCD is impressed graphically due to its liquid crystal physical properties wherein applied pressure changes the crystal particles orientation and light properties, such that when a stylus presses against a writing surface thereof, it leaves a visible trace allowing the user to produce a drawing though no real ink has flown.

System and method for capturing hand annotations

The response to the movement of a scroll wheel varies depending upon the application currently being used. The variation can be in ratcheting vs. free wheeling, speed and acceleration. Ratcheting can be automatic in word processing, with free wheeling automatic in photo editing, for example. In another aspect of the invention, text can be highlighted and searched by pressing a button on an input device to activate a search. The search can either be an Internet search or a desktop search. Different manners of activating the button (such as a short press vs. a long press) can be used to select between an Internet and desktop search.
