Proportional Force Input Apparatus For An Electronic Device

View page
US Patent:
7138977, Nov 21, 2006
Filed:
Jan 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/342675
Inventors:
Keith Kinerk - Fontana WI, US
Daniel Wong - Wildwood IL, US
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G09G 5/00
H04M 1/00
US Classification:
345156, 4555561
Abstract:
A proportional force input apparatus for an electronic device includes a mechanism operable by a user of the electronic device, such as a stylus inserted into a spring-loaded socket of the device. The mechanism provides a tactile feedback to the user proportional to a force applied by the user. A variable strength sensor detects the force applied by the user to the mechanism and converts this to an electrical signal proportional to the force applied by the user. A processor operates to input the electric signal from the variable strength sensor and provide force information to an application running on the electronic device. Optionally, a second sensor can detect rotation of the stylus. As a result, a stylus can be used to provide vector information to an application such as a game.

Rotating User Interface

US Patent:
7400915, Jul 15, 2008
Filed:
Oct 24, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/256818
Inventors:
Daniel Wong - Wildwood IL, US
Michael Charlier - Palatine IL, US
Keith Kinerk - Fontana WI, US
Assignee:
Motorola Inc - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
H04M 1/00
US Classification:
4555753, 4555751
Abstract:
A rotating user interface for a portable electronic device (FIG. through FIG. ) includes a circular portion that rotates relative to a housing portion. Rotation of the rotating user interface controls motion on a display such as a steering wheel for a gaming mode of the device. A moveable user interface includes a plurality of keys () arranged and constructed to be configured in one of a first configuration (FIG. ) and a second configuration (FIG. ); and a controller coupled to the plurality of keys, operable to detect when the plurality of keys are in the first configuration or second configuration and correspondingly to control the device to perform a first function or second function corresponding to the detected configuration.

Movable User Interface

US Patent:
7705838, Apr 27, 2010
Filed:
Oct 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/554892
Inventors:
Keith E. Kinerk - Fontana WI, US
Daniel Wong - Wildwood IL, US
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL
International Classification:
G06F 3/033
G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345184, 345156
Abstract:
A wireless communication handset () having a movable housing portion () coupled to a housing portion () that rotates relative to the housing portion. The movable housing portion may be a ring that rotates from one position to another position relative to the housing. Rotation of the ring to a first position activates a first function. Indicia disposed on the ring indicates the desired mode. Rotation of the ring to a second position activates a second mode corresponding to a second indicia on the ring. The ring is interchangeable with other rings (FIG. through FIG. ) having different indicia corresponding to different modes or functions. The software that corresponds to the different modes may be stored in a memory of the device or downloaded to the device upon coupling the ring thereto.

Data Processor With A Hardware Keyscan Circuit, Hardware Keyscan Circuit, And Method Therefor

View page
US Patent:
54868246, Jan 23, 1996
Filed:
Oct 5, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/318301
Inventors:
Keith E. Kinerk - Austin TX
Hoang K. Quan - Austin TX
Joseph P. Magliocco - Austin TX
Assignee:
Motorola, Inc. - Schumburg IL
International Classification:
H03K 1794
US Classification:
341 26
Abstract:
A data processor (50) includes a hardware keyscan circuit (54) to interface to an external keypad matrix (80). In one embodiment, the data processor (50) has a first register (62) for driving data to rows of the keypad matrix (80), and a second register (63) for inputting signals from columns of the keypad matrix (80). A set of weak pullup elements (71) connected to the columns is always conductive. A set of strong pullup elements (75) connected to the columns is conductive only after the hardware keyscan circuit (54) detects that a key (89) is depressed and disables the driving of the rows. Thus, pullup time and power consumption are minimized. The hardware keyscan circuit (54) also includes a data direction register (61) which has a shift control input terminal so that in response to a local state machine (64), the data direction register (61) acts as a shift register to sense the row with the depressed key (89), without intervention from a central processing unit (51).
