Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a touch mouse device for a smart device,

The present invention relates to a touch mouse device for a smart device, and more particularly, to a touch device for a smart device, which is capable of using a mouse function with both hands while holding the smart device with both hands, Mouse device.

With the development of the Internet and communication, a touch-pad type smart device which does not require a separate keyboard is widely used.

A smart device having a touch pad touches an image output through a display unit as an icon or a menu, and the display unit performs a display role and an input unit at the same time.

Especially, in case of Tablet PC, it is necessary to use both hands because it is necessary to operate with both hands because it is difficult to operate by holding it with one hand like a smart phone when the size is more than 10 inches.

Here, since the tablet PC is a touch input method, a virtual mouse technology that implements a mouse function by a touch method is applied in view of a structure that is difficult to use by connecting a mouse such as a PC.

However, in the conventional virtual mouse, although the mouse function is implemented as a touch input, since the operation system reflecting the structural characteristics of the tablet PC can not be implemented, there is a problem that it is very inconvenient to use the virtual mouse compared to the offline mouse use.

In particular, when a tablet PC is used as a viewer terminal to remotely access a remote PC (target terminal) to retrieve a document stored in a target terminal, or to use a remote access system capable of executing a moving image or an application, It is difficult to apply the scroll function on the touch screen because it recognizes the whole, and it is difficult to implement the speed control and accurate position control in addition to the scroll function, the zoom in or zoom out function, It is very inconvenient to control the target terminal using the remote access to the user who is familiar with the mouse interface.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a touch mouse device optimized for use with a smart device implemented with a touch screen.

In a remote access system for remotely accessing a remote target terminal by using a smart device as a viewer terminal, a mouse is implemented on the touch screen of the viewer terminal so that the mouse function can be conveniently used without a mouse as a hardware device And a touch mouse device for remote access control.

In order to accomplish the above object, a touch mouse device for a smart device according to the present invention includes a first mouse unit for intuitively controlling movement of a screen, a second mouse unit for performing a precise movement control on the basis of the mouse point, And a setting control unit for controlling the setting and operation of the first mouse unit and the second mouse unit.

Wherein the first mouse unit is configured to be in a touch mode implemented by a touch interface and controls the screen to move at a high speed based on a touch point and the second mouse unit is configured in a mouse mode implemented by a mouse interface, And performs a mouse function by performing precise movement at a low speed.

The first mouse unit is configured such that the entire display area except the area where the second mouse unit is activated acts as a moving pad. Therefore, there is no need for a separate activation menu.

The second mouse unit includes a mouse movement pad for providing an interface for precisely moving the mouse point along the touch direction, a scroll module for performing a scroll function for the screen, an option menu for executing a command, A mouse pad including a button module; And an activation module for controlling activation and configuration of the mouse pad.

The mouse pad may further include a shortcut key and a function key module for selecting an additional function related to the execution of the program, and a speed adjusting module for adjusting a screen moving speed of the mouse.

The scroll module performs a scrolling function to move up and down around a specific coordinate instead of recognizing the screen as a whole, and the button module executes an instruction for activating a command list and a command corresponding to a left button And an execution module.

The activation module minimizes the size of the menu when the mouse pad is not used and switches to a sleep state, and when the activation button is selected, the activation module displays and activates the mouse pad.

The activation module controls the mouse pad to be activated at a desired position by displaying the mouse pad by moving the activation button to a position desired by the user.

The setting control unit detects the screen and controls the second mouse unit to maintain the position before the second mouse unit changes in the direction in which the second mouse unit is changed when the holding direction of the smart unit is changed.

The setting control unit may control the high-speed moving pad to be activated in a semitransparent mode in order to minimize the interference of the image output through the display unit. If there is no use during the set time, the setting control unit switches the mode to the full- And the control is switched to the translucent mode.

As described above, the touch mouse device for a smart device according to the present invention provides an optimized mouse in an environment in which a smart device is held with both hands, so that a user can more conveniently control a mouse function.

In addition, by implementing an intuitive virtual mouse on a touchscreen that can not use a hardware mouse, users who are accustomed to the mouse interface have an excellent effect of using the mouse function in a touch screen environment very conveniently.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The smart device according to the present invention is applied to a concept including a device capable of carrying on a touch screen basis, such as a smart phone or a tablet PC, and can be optimally applied to a tablet PC to be held with both hands in size.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a touch mouse device for a smart device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an interface screen of the tablet PC on which the touch mouse device of FIG. 1 is executed, Is a screen showing a web page in which a touch mouse is implemented.

1 to 3, a touch mouse device for a smart device according to the present invention includes a first mouse unit for intuitively controlling movement of a screen, a second mouse unit for precisely controlling movement of a cursor, And a setting control unit for controlling setting and operation of the mouse unit.

The setting control unit may be controlled to activate the translucent mode in order to minimize the interference of the image output through the display unit. If the setting is not used for the set time, the setting control unit switches to the full transparent mode. Can be controlled.

The first mouse unit can be activated to touch any position of the display unit, and the second mouse unit can be formed on a side of the display unit that the user desires.

That is, the entire display area is activated by the first mouse unit to intuitively move the screen at a high speed to perform a mouse function. When the second mouse unit is selectively activated, the second mouse unit is activated to precisely control the cursor.

Generally, the mouse function of the touch screen device can be realized by being divided into a touch mode and a mouse mode.

4 schematically shows a method of operating the touch mode and the mouse mode.

Referring to FIG. 4, the touch mode is a mode in which the touch interface of the mobile device is used as it is. As shown in (a) of FIG. 4, a tap function, a hold function, a double tap function, , It supports an intuitive interface such as a touch interface, enables quick screen movement, and can perform a mouse function by touching a desired place quickly, which is advantageous in operation speed.

That is, since the touch mode moves the screen based on the touched point, it has an advantage that it can perform the high-speed movement control.

However, since the touch interface is used, it is necessary to repeat the process of enlarging and reducing the screen in order to select a specific area. Therefore, it is difficult to make fine and fine touches and it is difficult to move the drag and drop in the hold state. There is a problem that is elaborate and difficult to operate.

On the other hand, the mouse mode is a mode for providing an interface such as operation using a hardware mouse. The mouse point is displayed on the screen as shown in FIG. 4 (b) This mode can be operated in the same manner as

The mouse mode provides an interface similar to the operation of a real hardware mouse, so that it can be finely manipulated, and it is very easy to drag and drop. However, due to the difference in resolution of the screen, There is a disadvantage that the operation speed is slow because the movement is not fast and the screen has to be moved through a plurality of repetitive operations.

That is, since the conventional touch mode and mouse mode have mutually intersecting points, the advantages of the touch mouse device can be doubled when the touch mode and the mouse mode are used in a dual mode.

The touch mouse device according to the present invention comprises a touch mode as a first mouse unit and a mouse mode as a second mouse unit, and the first mouse unit is configured as a touch mode so that intuitive screen movement and manipulation speed And the second mouse unit is configured as a mouse mode to ensure a fine operation and workability, thereby realizing a dual type touch mouse that merely combines the advantages of a touch mode and a mouse mode.

In this case, the second mouse unit may further include a speed adjusting module that can adjust the mouse scroll speed of the mouse mode as shown in FIG.

The terms "high speed" and " low speed "defined in the present invention mean the relative speed difference between the touch mode and the mouse mode, and the user need not absolutely define the exact speed because the speed can be controlled.

It is obvious that the second embodiment is formed on the right side of the display area for convenience of explanation, but it is obvious that the user can be formed at any position on the desired display area.

The first mouse unit performs an intuitive high-speed movement function that primarily moves the screen at a high speed, and the second mouse unit performs a mouse function (scroll, button, etc.) by precisely moving a specific area of the screen at a low speed It is the role of

Smart devices, such as tablet PCs, have a display area of about 10 inches. If the resolution can not be adjusted for the tablet PC, the PC environment and resolution will differ. If the PC environment page is output to the tablet PC The page is cut off and needs to be scrolled.

Especially, in case of remote access environment, in case of remote connection of home or company PC with tablet PC, the screen of PC is cut on the screen of tablet PC due to the difference in resolution, and the screen moves in unison. Therefore, Is essential.

In this case, if the intuitive high-speed movement of the screen and the precision low-speed movement function are implemented at the same time, the user can conveniently select a desired area of the screen and use the mouse function.

The first mouse unit 10 acts as a touch moving pad for intuitively moving the screen at a high speed according to a touch mode. The first mouse unit 10 senses a touch in the entire area of the display, intuitively enlarges and reduces the screen according to the moving direction of the touch, . Since the entire display area of the first mouse unit is implemented in the touch mode, a separate activation module is not required.

The second mouse unit 20 includes a mouse movement pad 211 for moving the screen relative to the mouse point, a scroll module 212 for performing a scroll function for the screen, and an option menu for executing a command, A mouse pad 210 including a button module 213 (functioning as a right button (R) and a left button (L) functioning as a mouse) and an activation module 220 for controlling activation and configuration of the mouse pad Lt; / RTI >

The activation module 220 plays a role of activating the second mouse 20 and activates the second mouse 20 when a preset command or activation button is selected. Accordingly, when the second mouse unit 20 is not in use, the mouse pad 210 of the second mouse unit 20 is displayed in the dormant mode and is activated, thereby switching to the active mode.

The scroll module 212 does not recognize a screen as a whole, but performs a scroll function to move up and down around a specific coordinate.

The button module 213 functions as a right button and a left button of the mouse. The button module 213 includes an option selection module for activating a command list corresponding to a right button and an execution module for executing a command corresponding to a left button .

That is, the option selection module and the execution module each serve as a right button and a left button of the mouse, and provide a switching interface for setting an instruction option or an execution function.

The mouse pad 210 may further include a function key module for selecting various additional functions and a speed adjusting module 215 for adjusting the moving speed of the mouse.

The function key module includes a desktop shortcut, Ctrl + Alt + Del (reboot or task manager call), Ctrl + C (copy), Ctrl + V (paste), Ctrl + X (cut) Program selection keys such as window navigation, mode switching, process information view, system information view, file transfer, web browser open, web browser forward or backward move key such as ALT + F4 May be formed by combining at least one or two or more of them.

The present embodiment is configured as a function key module, which is a web browser before and after selection module 214 for selecting to move forward or backward to a web browser on the basis of a current web browser.

In one embodiment, since the web browser front-and-rear selection function implemented on a web page is disposed at the top of the web page, the cursor must be moved to the top of the page in order to activate the selection function before and after the web browser while using the mouse function. However, since the present invention includes a web browser before and after selection module in the second mouse unit, the selection function before and after the web browser can be activated without moving the cursor, so that the operation is very convenient.

Also, by including the speed control module for controlling the moving speed of the mouse, it is possible to control the speed and precision simultaneously by adjusting the moving speed of the mouse according to the resolution of the screen and the size of the display area of the portable device.

6 is a perspective view schematically illustrating a tablet PC according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention when the tablet PC is held with both hands.

Referring to FIG. 6, the touch mouse device according to the present invention includes a first mouse unit and a second mouse unit on both sides of a region where the tablet PC is gripped so that the tablet PC can be conveniently used when the tablet PC is held by both hands.

FIG. 3 shows a case where the horizontal axis of the tablet PC is grasped so as to be at the long side, but the same can be applied to the case where the vertical axis is grasped at the long side. The position of the second mouse unit can be controlled to maintain the position before the direction changes.

When the second mouse unit is in the sleep state, only the minimized activation button menu is maintained as shown in FIG.

When the activation button menu is selected, the activation module activates the mouse pad of the second mouse unit to switch the mouse to a usable state.

 Although the second mouse unit 20 is activated on one side of the right side in the present embodiment, the second mouse unit 20 can be controlled to be activated in a desired place rather than in a predetermined place.

For this, if the activation button is long pressed and moved to a desired position and then dragged, the mouse pad 210 is displayed at the moved position. If the user wants to change the position, Can be moved to a desired position.

The mouse function is used by operating the first mouse unit and the second mouse unit in a state in which the second mouse unit is activated as described above.

More specifically, the first mouse unit intuitively and rapidly moves the touch point of the screen based on the touch point, and moves the screen to a desired area at a high speed using a screen enlargement and reduction function when the screen is cut by resolution difference.

The first mouse unit may operate the intuitive high-speed movement of the screen by touching the display area except for the area where the second mouse unit is formed and moving the desired area.

Subsequently, when the mouse is positioned in a desired area, the mouse is moved precisely through the mouse movement pad of the second mouse unit.

When using both hands, the screen can be intuitively moved at a high speed with one hand to move the screen to a desired target area, and the target area can be moved at a low speed with respect to the mouse point with the other hand, It can be used quickly and intuitively with detailed functions such as scrolling and button functions.

Here, the target may be an icon in the case of a window screen as a user-desired object, and a link may be a text in the case of a web page.

In particular, since the text of the web page is small due to the size of the tablet PC, there is a problem that it is difficult to precisely select a desired target by high-speed movement of the screen. However, the present invention uses a high speed and a low speed simultaneously, There is an excellent effect possible.

Since the mouse pad of the second mouse unit includes the mouse movement pad, the scroll module, the button module, and the page up / down module, the mouse function such as scrolling, option selection, Intuitive control is possible because it is immediately available.

In particular, the present invention can provide a convenient, quick and intuitive mouse interface as compared with a remote access system for remotely controlling a target terminal of a remote location to a viewer terminal by a tablet PC, in the case where a screen movement due to a difference in resolution is required.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
