Research Abstract

Mobile phones and remote controllers are multifunctional, but they are too small to put many buttons and icons to operate them on their surfaces. Therefore, this research proposed an Input-Output system to scroll screen images and to input characters without keyboards. The proposed system detects fingertip pressures corresponding to deformation on side surfaces of portable devices by strain gages. This system makes various inputs available on terminal devices limited in size without many buttons and wheel switches.
