PAD TYPE INPUT DEVICE AND SCROLL CONTROLLING METHOD USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A pad type input device comprising:
- an operation surface which includes a scroll area operated by an operation body;
a detector that is operative to detect a touch position of the operation body placed on the operation surface as positional information on a coordinate plane; and
a data processor that is operative to acquire an operation signal obtained by the detector to perform a predetermined process, wherein the data processor outputs a scroll signal that moves display contents in a predetermined scroll direction when the operation body placed on the scroll area is in a stop state where the operation body does not move, even after a predetermined time elapses.

Abstract
A pad type input device is provided. The pad type input device includes an operation surface which includes a scroll area operated by an operation body. A detector is operative to detect a touch position of the operation body placed on the operation surface as positional information on a coordinate plane. A data processor is operative to acquire an operation signal obtained by the detector to perform a predetermined process. The data processor outputs a scroll signal that moves display contents in a predetermined scroll direction when the operation body placed on the scroll area is in a stop state where the operation body does not move, even after a predetermined time elapses.

5. A scroll controlling method of a pad type input device including an operation surface which includes a scroll area operated by an operation body, a detector which detects a touch position of the operation body placed on the operation surface as positional information on a coordinate plane, a data processor which acquires an operation signal obtained by the detecting means to perform a predetermined process, and a display which displays display contents processed by the data processing means, the method comprising:
-
determining whether the operation body placed on the scroll area is in a stop state where the operation body does not move, even after a predetermined time elapses; and
outputting a scroll signal for moving the display contents in a predetermined scroll direction to an operating system when it is determined that the operation body is in the stop state.
