The present disclosure provides method and apparatus for configuring a mouse device through pressure detection, and further proposes a corresponding mouse device. Pressure detected between the mouse device and an operation surface may be obtained. An operating state corresponding to the pressure may be determined. The mouse device may be configured to the operating state.

Configuring a mouse device through pressure detection

A computer mouse module comprising a power supply component; a movement sensor, an encoder operable to encode data collected by the movement sensor, a transmitter for transmitting the encoded data to a computer and a physical connector for detachably attaching a handle portion to the computer mouse module. The computer mouse module may be attached to the handle portion to form a functioning mouse where a user grips the mouse handle portion to control the mouse.

A method and apparatus for configuring a mouse device () through pressure detection, and further proposes a corresponding mouse device (). Pressure detected between the mouse device () and an operation surface () may be obtained. An operating state corresponding to the pressure may be determined. The mouse device () may be configured to the operating state.

A method, an apparatus and a corresponding electronic device for dynamically providing perceptible feedback for a rotary control component of an electronic device are provided. An operation on the rotary control component is detected. An initial value of the rotary control component is synchronized with a software control value of the electronic device. A variation value corresponding to the operation is identified. It is determined that the initial value and the variation value meet a feedback condition. Perceptible feedback is provided through a feedback component of the electronic device.
