Publication number: 20200174585Abstract: A dial device including an upper case and a bottom base disposed with an electrode pattern having a directional pattern corresponding to a direction, wherein an interactive display device utilizes the dial device as an input device (such as a mouse or a rocker capable of instructing an index displayed by a screen to move toward the direction) according to moving signals transmitted by the dial device and sensing signals generated by a touch circuit of the interactive display device. Thus, the interactive display device is capable of mapping a direction caused by relative motions between the upper case and the bottom base to a moving direction of an object displayed by the interactive display device, so as to increase an operation of the dial device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2019Publication date: June 4, 2020Inventors: Tai Ju, Chueh-Pin Ko, Chih-Chiang Chen
