Information Handling System Dynamic Friction Touch Device for Touchscreen Interactions

A method for making inputs with an object at a touchscreen display, the method comprising:

• disposing the object on the touchscreen display, the object having a rotating body at a lower surface and in contact with the display;
• locking the rotating body relative to the object in response to a first predetermined factor, the rotating body in contact with the touchscreen display to resist movement of the body at the touchscreen display;
• and
• releasing the rotating body relative to the object in response to a second predetermined factor, the rotating body in contact with the touchscreen display to roll along the touchscreen display in response to movement of the body at the touchscreen display.

An object that interfaces with a touchscreen display, the object comprising:

• a main body configured to accept a grasp by a hand;
• a base coupled to the main body, the base having plural feet disposed at a bottom surface in a predetermined pattern and an opening;
• a rotating body disposed in the main body, the rotating body extending partially out of the opening to press against the touchscreen display to rotate in response to linear motion of the object across the touchscreen display;
• and
• a friction element selectively engaged and disengaged with the rotating body to restrict and allow rotation of the rotating body.
