Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0068930A1] In a visual display electronic device, the housing (11) has at least one human user depressible surface with associated analog pressure-sensitive elements (80, 82) for output of variable value utilized by the circuitry (53) to control or manipulate one or more functions of the devices. The at least one analog pressure-sensitive elements (80, 82) receive pressure applied by a user's finger or thumb (76) to the depressible surface, varied pressure applied by the user determines varied value of the signal. The resultant control manipulation from the analog variable value is in some manner indicated, displayed or made visuable detectable on the display at least at the time of manipulation so that the user receives visual feedback allowing termination, increase or decrease, if needed or desired of finger pressure on the depressible surface or the analog sensor. Some examples of functions which can be manipulated in various kinds of electronics apparatuses.
