INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MOUSE WITH VARIABLE SPEED SCROLL WHEEL HAVING MAGNETIC TACTILE RESPONSE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17875890 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MOUSE WITH VARIABLE SPEED SCROLL WHEEL HAVING MAGNETIC TACTILE RESPONSE

Simplified Explanation

An information handling system mouse with a variable speed scroll wheel that has a magnetic tactile response. The scroll wheel is coupled to a ferromagnetic wheel with spikes and valleys, which interacts with a magnetic field to resist rotation. The magnetic field can be selectively removed to reduce the tactile response by disengaging a magnet from a magnetic focus lens, moving an opposing magnet into contact with the magnetic focus lens to cancel the magnetic field, and moving the magnet away from the ferromagnetic wheel.

  • The mouse has a variable speed scroll wheel with a magnetic tactile response.
  • A ferromagnetic wheel with spikes and valleys is coupled to the scroll wheel.
  • The ferromagnetic wheel interacts with a magnetic field to resist rotation.
  • The magnetic field can be selectively removed to reduce the tactile response.
  • This can be done by disengaging a magnet from a magnetic focus lens.
  • An opposing magnet can be moved into contact with the magnetic focus lens to cancel the magnetic field.
  • The magnet can be moved away from the ferromagnetic wheel.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in computer mice to provide a variable speed scroll wheel with a magnetic tactile response.
  • It can enhance the user experience by providing a tactile feedback while scrolling.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology solves the problem of providing a variable speed scroll wheel with a magnetic tactile response.
  • It allows users to have a more intuitive and interactive scrolling experience.

Benefits:

  • The magnetic tactile response enhances the user experience by providing a physical feedback while scrolling.
  • The variable speed scroll wheel allows users to scroll at different speeds based on their preference.
  • The selective removal of the magnetic field provides flexibility in adjusting the tactile response according to user preferences.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information handling system mouse has a variable speed scroll wheel with magnetic tactile response. A ferromagnetic wheel coupled to the scroll wheel and having spikes and valleys interacts with a magnetic field of magnet as the scroll wheel rotates to resist rotation in variable amounts. The magnetic field is selectively removed to reduce the tactile response, such as by disengaging a magnet from a magnetic focus lens that directs the magnetic field, moving an opposing magnet into contact with the magnetic focus lens that cancels the magnetic field and moving the magnet away from the ferromagnetic wheel.
