Abstract:
A rotary encoder and rotary encoder system that provides rotation detection and generates tactile feedback using a single magnetic mechanism and without relying on mechanical detects. The rotary encoder utilizes a ring magnet attached to a knob, two Hall Effect sensors that detect movement information for the processor, and magnets that are mounted to the surface of the platform. As the knob and multipole ring magnet get rotated, the ring magnet is subjected to opposing forces due to the magnets mounted to the platform surface, causing an unstable position that is experienced as tactile feedback by the user rotating the knob. Releasing the knob snaps the magnetic ring into one of many fixed positions, thus providing further tactile feedback.

Claim (Index 1):
A rotary encoder providing tactile feedback comprising:\n a multipole ring magnet having sectors of alternating, one and another magnetic polarities and uniform widths; two stationary magnetic field sensors arranged adjacent the multipole ring magnet to detect a magnetic field generated during the rotation of the multipole ring magnet, the two stationary magnetic field sensors being spaced apart so that when one integrated circuit is positioned on a sector the other integrated circuit is positioned between sectors; and a stationary magnet of one polarity configured to interact with the poles of the multipole ring magnet to generate tactile feedback in rotation of the ring magnet.
