Variable-conductance sensor
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method of controlling variable output of a variable output sensor, comprisingpressing an actuator with force, using only a single human thumb, to receive a first Snap-through tactile feedback to the thumb pressing the actuator, then, varying the pressing force for varying the output of the sensor, followed by reducing the pressing force until a second snap-through tactile feedback is received by the thumb.

Abstract
A method of using an analog sensor variably depressed by only a single human finger to variably control an electronic game, the method including the steps: a) depressing, with the human finger, the analog sensor with varying pressure for variably controlling the electronic game; and b) receiving, through the finger, a user discernible snap-through tactile feedback. Additionally, a second depressing may be applied substantially because of the receiving of the feedback.

3. A method of controlling a variable output sensor, comprising
pressing an actuator with force, using a thumb or a finger, to receive a first snap-through tactile feedback to the thumb or finger pressing the actuator, and using the first snap-through tactile feedback as indication of output of the sensor beginning to be varied, then, increasing the pressing force for further varying the output of the sensor, followed by reducing the pressing force until a second snap-through tactile feedback is received by the thumb or finger pressing the actuator, and using the second snap-through tactile feedback as an indication of the output of the sensor no longer being varied.
