Patent number: 7830365Abstract: A sensor includes a rectangular conductive sheet. Electrical connectors are connected at each corner of the sheet. A number of non-conductive features, e.g. apertures, are formed in this sheet. In one embodiment, V-shaped features extend from near the corners of the sheet towards the centre of the sheet and then turn towards an adjacent corner. Smaller V-shaped features reside in the area between the larger features and the closest edge of the sheet. In another embodiment, a spider web formation of conductive tracks or paths is provided. This provides hardware correction of pincushion error. It reduces or eliminates the need for software correction of pincushion error.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2006Date of Patent: November 9, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Marko Karhiniemi, Juhani Tuovinen, Jari Nousiainen

Patent number: 7508377Abstract: Control signals for a process displaying graphical objects in a display are generated with a first control surface, a second control surface and detector means. The first control surface is available for manipulation with a thumb of one hand on one side of a hand-held electronic device. The second control surface is adapted for manipulation with another finger of the same hand. It is located on a different side of the hand-held electronic device. The detector means jointly detect how the first and second control surfaces are manipulated, and convey information about detected manipulation of the first and second control surfaces further to generation of the control signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2004Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Pekka Pihlaja, Jari Nousiainen, Turo Keski-Jakari

Patent number: 7402764Abstract: A joystick has a dome facing a flat position sensitive detector for use an electronic device. The dome is elastically mounted so that the apex of the dome rests on the detector. As the joystick is deflected, the dome and the detector roll against each other such that the apex of the dome moves to a different location of the detector surface. The joystick can be depressed to cause the dome to buckle in order to select a function of the electronic device. When the joystick is depressed, the contact area between the dome and the detector increases abruptly. After the dome is buckled, the user can exert an uneven pressure to the joystick to allow the electronic device to carry out another function.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2006Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Pekka Pihlaja, Jari Nousiainen

Patent number: 7200009Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a electromechanical structure comprising an input device and a printed wired board (3, 4), which structure is advantageous in terms of manufacturing and offers freedom to the layout design of the printed wired board, the user interface as well as the appearance of the device itself. It is also an object of the invention to provide a electromechanical structure that is compact and facilitates the customizability and upgradability with a new electronic functionality without any need for modifications to the main electronics of the device. This is achieved by integrating the electromechanical assembly with the mechanical cover part of the electronic device by using an injection moulding process to compose an integrated combination (113) which is detachable from the electronic device. More precisely the objects of the invention are achieved by combining the injection mould technologies with the printing of electronic wired boards.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2003Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Katri Narhi, Roope Takala, Jari Nousiainen, Pentti Ahlgren, Pia Tanskanen
