Abstract
An input element is used to make inputs to a computer having a touch-pad responsive to changes of static capacity. The input element has a conductive pad contact part which contacts in face-to-face manner to the touch-pad. The pad contact part is pivotally connected to a grip part so that the contact face always makes the contact face contacted to a surface of the touch-pad. Also provided is an input method using the aforementioned input element.
Claims5
An input element used for a touch-pad disposed to an information processing apparatus, said touch-pad being responsible to changes of a static capacity, said input element comprising a conductive pad contact part making a face-to-face contact onto said touch-pad.
A method for making an input to an information processing apparatus via a touch-pad, said touch pad of said information processing apparatus, said touch-pad being responsible to a change of a static capacity said method comprising the steps of:
- providing an input element comprising a conductive pad contact part which makes a face-to face contact onto said touch-pad;
- and
- making said input element contact to a touch-pad surface in a face-to-face manner such that said static capacity is changed.
