National touch, the past and present of inventory control technology

The arrival of Win8 allows people to complete various controls on the computer on the touch screen just like using a smart phone. At the 2013 CES, it was a new product that frequently appeared on the touch screen, and the touch pad is a precedent for sensing technology. It was used as early as the rise of notebook computers, and touch is not closer to the future, but closer to instinct.

Once upon a time, most people used a variety of full-keyboard mobile phones, and their hands were not in a high-key operation for a moment. Although someone already uses a stylus keyboard, it ’s just not convenient to write on a screen as small as a mobile phone; it did n’t take long for some people to appear on the market. They have already used a brand-new mobile phone product with their fingers on the mobile phone screen. ” "Sliding around"; to the sports where all the people are paddling fruits, for a while, this "sliding around" has almost become the lifestyle pursued by the public. Today, almost no one knows the iPhone, and no one knows Apple. But Bill Gates, the former president of Microsoft, had predicted: "The touch screen of the future world will be everywhere!"

Before the touch screen

Although Apple is not the creator of touch screens, it does bring touch technology and touch control to consumers. In fact, before the iPhone, humans have begun to apply touch sensing to the design of consumer products for LCD screens. For example, early Palm, Sony Ericsson, HTC, etc. have already begun to try applications, but the real impressive thing has to start with the iPod.

From iPod to iPhone 2003-2007

The iPhone can be simply summarized as the iPod Touch with the call function, and the iPod itself is named with innovative touch control, as early as the iPod Touch (2007), that is, the technology before the touch screen-Click Wheel (click Touch wheel).

Click Wheel first appeared on the third generation of the iPod produced in 2003. After three years of human factors engineering trials and verification, the product was replaced with the touch dial to replace the mobile parts of the previous mobile dial design, and in the subsequent iPod mini products. The buttons are also integrated into the touch dial. The classic Click Wheel, Apple uses a circle and a circle to complete the user's control of the device and even the game control. The wonderful feeling that the Click Wheel brought to people at that time may only be understood by those who have really used it.

Little red dot on Thinkpad 1992-2005

Before Apple ’s touch dial, there was a smaller touch design. The pointing stick was used in notebook computers earlier than the touchpad. The most representative one is IBM ’s Thinkpad (acquired after 2005). Little red dot.

In 1992, the first notebook computer named ThinkPad, ThinkPad700C, was born, and the process of ThinkPad leading the development of mobile computing technology began. It is also from the 700C, TrackPoint (small red dot) first appeared on the ThinkPad notebook. This design is extremely ergonomic: by gently pushing the pointing stick with your fingertips, the ceramic plate at the bottom will be sensitive and accurately position the mouse position and movement direction, allowing users to achieve maximum convenience and comfort when using it. This user-friendly design has been in use to this day and has become a unique symbol of ThinkPad. The red dot on the logo is proof of history.

Further reading: The pointing stick was invented by scientist Ted Selker and applied to many notebook computer brands, including ThinkPad, Dell, HP, Fujitsu. Different notebook computer manufacturers often have different names for the pointing stick products they produce. ThinkPad calls it "TrackPoint", and Dell calls it "Track STIck." The pointing stick is sometimes installed on some mice and keyboards of desktop computers.
