Abstract
Disclosed is an indexing device. A first sensing unit, a second sensing unit, and a control unit are primarily disposed in the indexing device. The control unit couples to the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit. The control unit receives a first move detection signal outputted by the first sensing unit, and receives a second move detection signal from the second sensing unit. The variance of the first move detection signal and/or the second move detection signal is referred to compute a cursor control signal. Further, the first sensing unit or the second sensing unit is slidably disposed in the device's casing. This movable sensing unit allows the cursor control correlated to the moving indexing device more accurate, more stable and/or faster responsive to the user's operation.
Claims11
An indexing device, comprising:
- a first sensing unit, generating a first move detection signal;
- a second sensing unit, generating a second move detection signal;
- a control unit, coupled with the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit;
- and
- a positioning member;
- wherein the control unit operates to generate a cursor control signal in response to a variance of the first move detection signal and/or the second move detection signal;
- wherein one of the first sensing unit and second sensing unit comprises:
- a sliding member, disposed on a casing of the device,
- an opening member formed on the sliding member, and
- a sensing module, slidably disposed on the sliding member;
- wherein the sensing module outputs a light signal through the opening member for detecting a movement of the casing;
- wherein the sensing module comprises:
- a substrate;
- a lens set, disposed on the substrate, directed toward the opening member;
- a sensor chip, disposed on the substrate, adjacent to the lens set;
- and
- a sliding board, connected with the substrate, slidably connected with the sliding member;
- wherein the sensor chip outputs the light signal through the lens set to the opening member;
- wherein the sliding board comprises:
- a containing member for containing the substrate, the lens set, and the sensor chip, adjacent to the positioning member;
- and
- a shelter member, extending to the outside of the containing member and contacted with the casing, for sheltering the opening member between the containing member and the casing;
- wherein the containing member has a perforating member directed toward the opening member and is formed corresponding to the lens set;
- and
- wherein the positioning member is disposed at one side of the sliding member for positioning the sensing module on the sliding member.
