Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a scrolling input device that maps a physical movement of a scroll gesture into a digital scrolling and includes a touch-surface with an active area, at least one force sensor, and a microcontroller. The force sensor is configured to detect force applied to the active area by sensing strains in the touch-surface during the physical displacement of the scroll gesture and to provide an output based on the sensed strains indicating information of an amount of the force applied to the active area. The microcontroller is configured to calculate the amount of the force applied to the active area based on the output of the force sensor and touch locations of the scroll gesture, to estimate a scrolling speed based on the calculated amount of the force, and to estimate the digital scrolling based on both the physical movement and the estimated scrolling speed.
