  • Publication number: 20110012829
    Abstract: The present invention relates a cursor control method for controlling a cursor displayed on a monitor of an electronic apparatus by means of pressure detection and a cursor control device thereof. The cursor control device comprises a circuit substrate, a processing unit, a control panel and conductive elastic convex parts. The control panel is disposed above the circuit substrate, and a second surface is next to the circuit substrate. The conductive elastic convex parts are disposed on the second surface and corresponding to electrical contacts on the circuit substrate. When a point on the first surface receives an exerted pressure, the conductive elastic convex part is pressed against the circuit substrate and is deformed. The sensing module detects a change in electrical conductivity thereof according to the change in the electrical resistance. The processing unit calculates a position of the point for controlling the moving direction of the cursor.
