Background
The trend of making products smaller, more sophisticated, and more efficient, has become common in the modern world. Combining the abilities of handheld computers, cameras, media players and cellphones, brings technical constrains and miniaturized user interface. At the same time, the increased number of functions brings more menus with more options to select. In new Smartphones, for instance, the user interface mainly consists of a Touch Screen and a Directional Switch. The Directional Switches are designed to move discretely from row to row, thus not being able to reach every point on the screen freely as in a computer mouse. Newest Smartphones often combine touchscreens with physical controls and keyboard, thus answering the growing demand for improved User Interface. Touchpads, which are the most popular pointing device in Laptop computers, are inadequate for use on compact devices due to the large footprint they require.
Today, a miniature pointing device with the functionality of a computer mouse is required for many kinds of electrical devices.
Solution
MicroPointing's miniature Pointing Device technology (Patent filed) offers full functionality capabilities with a Touchpad-like user experience, with just 1X1 mm in size. The very small size of the Pointing Device allows incorporating it to extremely small spaces such as into a Number-key on a Smartphone, thus saving expensive real-estate.One does not need small fingers to operate the very small device since it's designed so that the user's finger will "spread" over it. Operating the device is very intuitive and easy.MicroPointing's miniature Pointing Device technology allows not only to use it as a "Mouse", in devices such as Smartphones, Media players, TV remote-controls, cars (on steering wheel or gear shift) etc., but actually function as a control on numerous electrical devices. For example: a volume switch on a small radio/media player, on a "Smart Cell-Watch" as a mouse or control, a dimmer/control on a monitor frame or a small flashlight, on a camera, and many more. MicroPointing's motion detection technology and know-how exceed the field of miniature Pointing Devices and controls. The company is developing unique solutions for other markets to come.
