Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention provides a method for moving a cursor indicating coordinates on the screen in that direction and adjusting the cursor speed by tilting the operating lever f:lK in any direction. This invention relates to a coordinate input device that can be switched between low speed and high speed.

(2) Prior art and problems Conventionally, in a coordinate input device called a joystick, when the operating lever is tilted in an arbitrary direction, the cursor moves at a low speed, but in order to switch this to high speed, a push button attached to the top surface of the operating lever is used. The cursor speed was changed by pressing , or by using a pushbutton switch located in a position separate from the control lever. Therefore, there is a problem that the operating procedure is complicated, takes time, and places a heavy burden on the operator.

(3) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to completely move a cursor indicating coordinates on the screen by tilting the operating lever. To provide a coordinate input device capable of easily switching between a moving table, low speed and high speed.

(4) Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the coordinate input device of the present invention moves the cursor indicating the coordinates in that direction by tilting the operation lever from upright to an arbitrary direction, and reduces the cursor speed to a slow speed. In a coordinate input device capable of high-speed switching, the operating lever is divided into an upper and an upper lever, and a contact portion consisting of an inner surface of a ring-shaped conductor and a rod-shaped conductor inserted in the center is provided at the boundary between the upper and upper levers, and a contact portion is provided between the upper F levers. They are connected by a flexible coupling means, and when operated, the upper and lower levers move as one unit from the upright position to a predetermined angle, and the cursor moves at low speed.When the lever reaches a predetermined angle, the upper lever is restrained and the upper lever elastically moves to 1.
ff: The cursor is characterized in that the cursor is switched to high-speed movement by bending the cursor to short-circuit the contact portions.

(5) Embodiment of the invention FIGS. 1(α) and 1(b) are an explanatory diagram (α) of the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention and an explanatory diagram (b) of the main parts.

Figure (α) is an overall configuration diagram. The operating lever is divided into an upper lever 11 and a lower lever 12, and a contact portion 5 is formed by the lower rod-shaped conductor 2 of the upper lever 11 and the inner surface of a conductor ring provided in the upper insulating cylinder of the lower lever 12. The lower end is fixed and kept in a non-contact state during papermaking by a helical spring 4 provided on the outer periphery.

Box 7 indicates the direction of the operating lever Its 1*, the direction in which the angle is detected and a signal to move the cursor is generated.

This is an angle detection signal generating section.

FIG. 6 (6) is an explanatory diagram of an example of the contact portion 5. That is,
The lower rod-shaped conductor 2 of the upper lever 11 is pushed into the center of the conductor ring 61 provided in the upper insulating cylinder 6 of the F lever 12 through the center hole of the ★6s and the insulating packing 62, and the upper end of the helical spring 4 is attached to the outer periphery of these. , the lower end is the upper lever 11
．． It is fixed to the collar of the drever 12, and the contact part 5 is always kept in a non-contact state together with the insulating gasket 6. The upper and lower levers 11pF work as one body under the force of force, but when tilted by more than a predetermined angle, the upper lever 1Q is restrained, the upper lever 11 is inadvertently bent against the helical spring 4, and the rod-shaped conductor 2 is bent by the lid 63. It contacts the inner surface of the ring 6I using the hole as a fulcrum.

This switches the cursor speed from slow to fast.

42 (α) and (b) are explanatory diagrams showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 9(9) shows that when the operating levers 11+12 are tilted within a predetermined angle, the upper lever 11 and the upper lever 12 move linearly and integrally by the force of the helical spring 4. In this case, as explained in FIG. 1(b), the contact portion 5 is in a non-contact state and the cursor moves at a low speed. This is called mode A.

Next, when the angle exceeds a predetermined angle, the upper lever 12 is restrained as shown in FIG. can be switched quickly from This is called mode B.

In this way, mode A and mode B can be shifted by the same operation of tilting the operating lever, and the point of shift can be clearly sensed.

(6) As described in detail, according to the present invention, when moving the cursor indicating coordinates on the screen by tilting the operating lever, switching between low speed and high speed can be performed by the same operation using the operating lever. This is done in succession, and the transition can be clearly sensed, making it possible to accurately and quickly guide the cursor to the desired position.

In particular, unlike the conventional method, there is no need to pay attention to push buttons or other switches, which has the effect of greatly reducing the burden on the operator.
