Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 12:
13. A method of processing analog input for a computing system according to claim 7, the method comprising:
generating, via the pressure reception arrangement, the analog signal corresponding to the amount of light measured as a measure of the pressure exerted on the pressure reception arrangement when the push button assembly is pressed by a user's finger;
digitizing, via the analog-to-digital converter, the analog signal into the digital-step-value;
outputting, via the processor, the data packet including the button identity (ID) of the push button assembly pressed by the user's finger and the digital-step-value converted from the analog signal of the push button assembly by the analog-to-digital converter;
transmitting, via the communication interface, the data packet from the processor of the input device to the host processor of the computing system;
determining, via the host processor, the amount of depression of the respective push button assembly based on the digital-step-value from the data packet received; and
generating, via the host processor, the corresponding predetermined application event in the application based on the determined amount of depression of the respective push button assembly and the input setting for the application.
