Abstract
An apparatus and method for processing input of an optical mouse sensor having the optical mouse sensor as an input unit are provided. In the method, a touch movement velocity associated with input of the optical mouse sensor is determined. The movement velocity is compared with a threshold. If the movement velocity is less than the threshold, the input of the optical mouse sensor is processed as continuous key input.
Claims18
A method for processing optical mouse sensor input of an apparatus having an optical mouse sensor as an input unit, the method comprising:
- determining a touch movement velocity associated with input of the optical mouse sensor;
- comparing the movement velocity with a first threshold;
- and
- processing the input of the optical mouse sensor as continuous key input when the movement velocity is less than the first threshold.
An apparatus having an optical mouse sensor as an input unit, the apparatus comprising:
- a determination unit for determining a touch movement velocity associated with input of the optical mouse sensor and for comparing the movement velocity with a first threshold;
- and
- a controller for processing the input of the optical mouse sensor as continuous key input when the movement velocity is less than the first threshold.
