First Claim
Patent Images
1. A driving device adapted to be connected to an information processing device having a capacitive multi-touch display, comprising:
- a base made of an electrically insulating body; and
a conductive pattern portion disposed at one side surface of the base;
wherein the driving device serves to cause the information processing device to execute a proper action when the driving device is touched with the multi-touch display;
wherein the conductive pattern portion has a finger touch portion, a conductive connecting portion and a plurality of touching portions;
wherein each of the touching portions is made of an electrically conductive body having a touching area of a predetermined dimension that comes into a touched or nearly touched state with the multi-touch display;
wherein the finger touch portion is made of a planar shape of conductive body layer provided on one end portion of the base;
wherein the conductive connecting portion is made of an electrically conductive body electrically connecting the finger touch portion and each of the touching portions;
wherein the touching area of each of the touching portions is set at a value not less than a minimum detection area of the multi-touch display;
wherein the conductive connecting portion is provided on the base so as to be kept from activating a touching area of the multi-touch display by a capacitive coupling between the touching area of the multi-touch display and itself; and
wherein the finger touch portion is provided on the one end portion of the base only at a predetermined location where a finger of a user naturally touches.

Abstract
A driving device includes a base and a conductive pattern portion provided on a surface of the base. The conductive pattern portion has a finger touch portion, touching portions and conductive connecting portions connecting the finger touch portion and each of the touching portions. When a surface of the base is contacted with a multi-touch display of an information processor, each of the touching portions activates a corresponding touching area of the multi-touch display. Thus, a predetermined action is executed by the information processor.
