Method for configuring an input device and input device used therein
First Claim
1. A method for configuring an input device that includes a housing, a plurality of user operable members installed on the housing, a calculating unit installed in the housing and coupled to at least one of the user operable members, and a memory installed in the housing and coupled to the calculating unit, said method comprising the steps of:
- A) storing a lookup table that contains a plurality of sets of input device control parameters into the memory;
B) detecting the operation of the user operable members;
C) matching the detected operation of the user operable members to the lookup table stored in the memory; and
D) enabling the calculating unit to configure the input device using the set of input device control parameters associated with the matched user input conditions.

Abstract
A method for configuring an input device that includes a housing, a plurality of user operable members installed on the housing, a calculating unit installed in the housing and coupled to the user operable members, and a memory installed in the housing and coupled to the calculating unit, includes the steps of storing a lookup table that contains user input conditions and functions corresponding to input device control parameters into the memory, enabling the calculating unit to detect the operation of the user operable members, enabling the calculating unit to match the detected operation of the user operable members to the lookup table stored in the memory, and enabling the calculating unit to configure the input device using the input device control parameters. An input device that performs the method is also disclosed.

4. An input device, comprising:
-
a housing;
a plurality of user operable members installed on said housing;
a calculating unit installed in said housing and coupled to said user operable members; and
a memory installed in said housing, coupled to said calculating unit, and storing a lookup table that contains user input conditions and functions corresponding to input device control parameters;
wherein, said calculating unit is operable so as to detect the operation of said user operable members, so as to match the detected operation of said user operable members to said lookup table stored in said memory, and so as to configure said input device using the input device control parameter associated with the matched user input conditions. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
