Detailed Description
The advantages and features of the invention and methods of accomplishing the same may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments and the accompanying drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
First, referring to fig. 1A and 1B, fig. 1A is a side view of a multifunctional input device; FIG. 1B is a top view of the multi-function input device. The multifunctional input device can be a computer peripheral device such as a mouse or a touch panel and the like with a left key, a right key, a capacitance detector or an optical detector.
In fig. 1A and 1B, the multifunctional input device is a cursor input device, i.e. a mouse 10, the mouse 10 has an upper cover housing 102, a lower cover housing 103, and a plurality of functional elements disposed therein, wherein the functional elements include: a left button 101a, a right button 101b, a capacitance detector 1021, and an optical detector 1031. The left button 101a and the right button 101b may be left and right buttons with entities; or left and right keys formed by the contact position of the finger and the upper cover shell 102 of the mouse 10; or a left button and a right button formed by the left-right swing of the upper cover housing 102 of the mouse 10. The capacitance detector 1021 is a capacitance type printed circuit board arranged in the inner layer of the upper cover shell 102 of the mouse 10, the capacitance detector 1021 changes the tiny capacitance in the circuit by using the human capacitance effect to detect the movement state of the finger or palm on the upper cover shell 1021 of the mouse 10, for example, the capacitance detector 102 can detect the movement state of the finger on the upper cover shell 1021, when the finger slides up and down or left and right at the position of the left key 101a or the right key 101b, the operation of sliding the web page of the computer screen up and down or switching the page is carried out; the optical detector 1031 is disposed on the lower cover housing 103, the optical detector 1031 can collect the moving direction and relative movement of the mouse 10 on the surface of the object on which the mouse 10 is placed, and the user can operate the click and movement of the cursor on the screen by moving the mouse 10.
Next, referring to fig. 1A, fig. 1B and fig. 2, fig. 2 shows an input device testing system provided by the present invention, which includes: mouse 10, test host 20, screen 30 and test platform 40. The test host 20 is a computer host of a Windows (Windows) operating system, and the test host 20 itself also has an input device (not shown) for operation. The test host 20 is electrically connected to the test platform 40 through a Parallel port (Parallel port), in addition, the test host 20 is used to install and execute the information interception program 201 and the test program 202, a user can use an input device (not shown) of the test host 20 to operate the test program 202, wherein the test program 202 is written by a common Labview software, and the test program 202 outputs the test information T0 to the test platform 40 through the Parallel port. The testing platform 40 operates according to the instruction of the testing information T0, for example, the testing platform 40 may be a robot or an electromagnetically controlled striking head, and when the input device is tested, the testing platform 40 operates the mouse 10 to move by the robot according to the instruction of the testing information T0, so that the optical detector 1031 generates the response information P0; or the left button 101a or the right button 101b of the mouse 10 is hit by the head to generate the reaction information P0 by the left button 101a or the right button 101 b. The mouse 10 transmits the response information P0 to the test host 20 via bluetooth (Blue Tooth) wireless communication or Universal Serial Bus (USB). The information interception program 201 in the test host 20 is written in C language, and the information interception program 201 is a hook program for intercepting information at a lower layer than the hook program in the windows operating system, and in the present invention, the information interception program 201 is used for intercepting the response information P0 transmitted from the mouse 10 to the test host 20. The screen 30 is used as a human-machine interface for displaying the test program 202, so that the user can operate the input device test system through the input device (not shown) of the test host 20.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 3 is a testing flowchart of the input device testing system of the present invention, when testing the input device, firstly, generating a testing message T0 (step S100), in step S100, driving the testing program 202 to generate and output a testing message T0 from the test host 20 to the testing platform 40 in a manual or automatic manner; after receiving the test information T0, the test platform 40 operates the mouse 10 according to the test information T0, so that the mouse 10 outputs the response information P0 in response to the operation (step S101), in step S101, if the test information included in the test information T0 is six times of testing the left key 101a of the mouse 10, the test platform 40 sequentially hits the left key 101a of the mouse 10 for six times within a preset time by a hit head; if the test information contained in the test information T0 is the optical detector 1031 of the mouse 10, the testing platform 40 moves toward the default direction at the default speed by the operation of the mouse 10 by the robot.
Subsequently, the mouse 10 outputs the response information P0 to the test host 20, and since the mouse 10 includes a plurality of functional elements (the left button 101a, the right button 101b, the capacitance detector 1021 and the optical detector 1031), the output response information P0 includes the following components according to the test information contained in the test information T0 when the mouse 10 performs the operation test: the packet output by the left key 101a, the packet output by the right key 101b, the packet output by the capacitance detector 1021, or the packet output by the optical detector 1031. After the test host 20 receives the response message P0, the message interception program 201 intercepts the response message P0 and converts the response message P0 into at least one code (step S102), in step S102, the message interception program 201 re-encodes the response message packet output by the left button 101a, the response message packet output by the right button 101b, the response message packet output by the capacitance detector 1021, or the response message packet output by the optical detector 1031 after intercepting the response message P0, and further transmits the response message code P1 of the left button 101a, the response message code P2 of the right button 101b, the response message code P3 of the capacitance detector 1021, or the response message code P4 of the optical detector 1031 to the test program 202 after re-encoding. Since the response information P0 is intercepted by the information interception program 201, the mouse 10 and the input device (not shown) of the test host 20 can be effectively separated from each other, so that the mouse 10 and the input device (not shown) of the test host 20 cannot affect each other.
Next, the test program 202 determines whether at least one code matches the test information T0 (step S103), in step S103, the test program 202 compares the test information T0 generated in step S100 with the response information code P1 of the left key 101a, the response information code P2 of the right key 101b, the response information code P3 of the capacitance detector 1021, or the response information code P4 of the optical detector 1031, for example, when the test information contained in the test information T0 is the left key 101a of the test mouse 10, the test program 202 determines whether the response information code P1 of the left key 101a is received.
Finally, the screen 30 displays the test result according to whether the at least one code matches the test information T0 (step S104), and in step S104, if the test information T0 matches the response information code (P1, P2, P3, or P4), a Pass test (Pass) is displayed in the human-computer interface of the screen 30; if the test information T0 does not match the response information code (P1, P2, P3 or P4), a failure of test (Fail) is displayed in the human-computer interface of the screen 30, for example, if the test information contained in the test information T0 is the left button 101a of the test mouse 10, the test program 202 determines whether the response information code P1 of the left button 101a is received, and if so, a Pass is displayed on the screen 30 (Pass); on the contrary, if the test information contained in the test information T0 is the left button 101a of the test mouse 10, but the test program 202 does not receive the response information code P1 of the left button 101a or receives the response information code P2 of the right button 101b, then a Fail (Fail) is displayed on the screen 30.
The input device testing system provided by the present invention not only can effectively separate the input device to be tested from the input device (not shown in the figure) of the testing host 20 itself, so that the two devices will not affect each other, but also can test a plurality of functional elements of the input device, for example, when the user wants to test the left button 101a and the right button 101b of the mouse 10, the testing program 202 can be set to recognize only the response information code P1 of the left button 101a and the response information code P2 of the right button 101b, and ignore the response information code P3 of the capacitance detector 1021 and the response information code P4 of the optical detector 1031; or when the user wants to test the capacitance detector 1021 of the mouse 10, the test program 202 can be set to recognize only the response information code P3 of the capacitance detector 1021, and ignore the response information code P1 of the left button 101a, the response information code P2 of the right button 101b, and the response information code P4 of the optical detector 1031; or, when the user wants to test the optical detector 1031 of the mouse 10, the test program 202 may be configured to recognize only the response information code P4 of the optical detector 1031 and ignore the response information code P1 of the left button 101a, the response information code P2 of the right button 101b and the response information code P3 of the capacitance detector 1021.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating a situation displayed on the human-machine interface of the input device testing system according to the present invention, in fig. 4, assuming that the test information contained in the test information T0 is the left key 101a of the mouse 10 for six times, the information interception program 201 re-encodes the response information packet output by the left key 101a into X00Y (wherein the Y value is between 1 and 9), and displays codes of X001, X002, X003, X004, X005, X006, etc. in the human-machine interface 2021 of the test program 202 on the screen 30, while displaying that the left key 101a of the mouse 10 passes the test (Pass).
Compared with the prior art, the input device testing system and the input device testing method provided by the invention can respectively test whether each functional element of the input device can normally operate, and can separate the input device to be tested from the input device of the testing host machine, so that the input device to be tested and the input device of the testing host machine can not be influenced mutually, and the accuracy of product testing and the efficiency of automatic production are effectively improved; therefore, the present invention is a creation with great industrial value.
The invention can be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the claims.
