Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a network switching device and a method using a mouse,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a network switching using a mouse, and more particularly, to a network switching apparatus using a mouse and a method thereof for performing convenience of use by performing a network switching function using a mouse.

In general, the communication environment using computers such as the Internet is rapidly expanding, and a self-networking network for building internal systems is installed, and mutual settlement and data transfer are performed by networking.

Therefore, two personal computer systems for using the internal network (intranet) and the external network (internet) are required, and the economical disadvantages and disadvantages of using these two personal computer systems separately are solved It is a dual computer that was proposed for.

The dual computer is configured to mount two personal computer systems (including two personal computer boards, one monitor, one optical drive (ODD), and the like) on one main body and, depending on the user's choice, System only.

For example, a first computer including a monitor, a keyboard, a first personal computer board, and an LAN card connecting an internal network (LAN network); And a second computer including a modem for connecting a monitor, a keyboard, a second personal computer board, and an external network (Internet network), and selects a corresponding computer according to a desired network.

In order to control such a dual computer, a KVM device (KVM means keyboard, video, mouse) is used to control each computer. A KVM device is one that allows a dual computer to be used with a single keyboard and mouse, which is more space and cost effective than using a separate keyboard and mouse as input devices .

Conventional techniques for selectively using a computer and a network by switching two computers using only one input device (a mouse and a keyboard) to perform network switching are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 .

The prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a contact point selected from among a first contact for disconnecting the connection between the internal network and the external network, a second contact connected to the internal network, and a third contact connected to the external network, A signal changeover switch to be connected; An ad-hoc control unit for transmitting a switching signal to the signal changeover switch using the received control signal; A network switching computer is implemented by an interface processor that converts data between the signal switching switch and the main board into a PCI system or a USB system and transmits an LAN card control signal received from the main board to the LAN card controller.

The conventional technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes multiple-click of a specific button of a mouse, and by multi-clicking the specific button, the currently used computer port is switched to another computer port and a keyboard video mouse (KVM) To switch the network.

However, since the conventional technique disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is a network switching operation by operating a signal switching switch provided separately, there is a complication and inconvenience in implementing a structure for separately providing a signal switching switch.

The prior art disclosed in Patent Document 2 is advantageous in that it is not necessary to provide a separate switch because a mouse is used. However, since it is a method of inputting a network switching signal by using multiple clicks, When a time difference occurs between the first click time and the second click time, an error that the network switching signal is not recognized has occurred.

Also, the conventional technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a disadvantage in that the network is switched using only a multi-click of a mouse, so that anyone can freely switch the network by using multiple clicks using a mouse, resulting in poor security.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a network switching apparatus and method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of a network switching apparatus using a mouse according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The network switching apparatus using a mouse according to the present invention includes an internal network dedicated computer (PC1) 100, an external network computer 200, a keyboard 10, and a mouse 20.

The internal network dedicated integrated computer 100 includes an internal network computer device 120 built in the main body 101 and including a main board for an internal network dedicated integrated computer and a plurality of input / output peripheral devices, and performing network switching control; A display panel 110 for displaying an image of the internal network computer device 120 and an external network PC 200 connected to the external network; A KVM (Keyboard / Video / Mouse) board built in the main body 101 and interfacing with a mainboard scaler included in the mainboard of the internal network computer device 120 to switch the display / keyboard / mouse / 130); And an HDMI input port 150 for receiving HDMI data (video, audio) of the external network computer 200.

As shown in FIG. 2, the KVM board 130 includes an HID USB 131 for individually controlling connection of a HID (Human Interface Device) input device; A USB hub (HUB) switch 133 for connecting the HID input device and the internal network dedicated computer 100 or the external network computer 200 according to the network switch control signal; A hub device 132 for controlling connection between the HID USB 131 and the USB hub switch 133; A network switching recognition unit 135 for recognizing a network switching by analyzing a specific signal generated in the mouse 20; And a KVM controller 134 for controlling the switching of the USB hub switch 133 according to the network switching signal generated by the network switching recognition unit 135 and for controlling the network switching. Here, the HID input device may include a keyboard 10 and a mouse 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the KVM controller 134 includes a network switching controller 134a for controlling network switching according to a network switching signal; A hub switch controller 134b for controlling the switching of the USB hub switch 133 for network switching; And a network switch signal controller 134c that adjusts a signal to be transmitted corresponding to the selected signal level by a pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme.

Here, the mouse 20 of the present invention may additionally include a fingerprint recognition sensor capable of recognizing the user fingerprint.

The operation of the network switching apparatus using the mouse according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

The internal network dedicated integrated computer 100 includes a KVM board 130 formed in the form of a board inside the main body 101 for easily connecting the external network computer 200 and performing network switching quickly and conveniently, . Here, since the KVM board 130 is in the form of a board, it is not necessary to occupy a lot of space. Particularly, when the main body 101 is vertically mounted at a predetermined position of the main body 101, it takes up less space and space efficiency can be improved.

In addition, since only the signal cable terminal of the external network computer 200 and the video and audio data cable terminal are connected to the integrated network-dedicated computer 100, the cable complexity can be remarkably reduced in comparison with a method of connecting a plurality of existing external cables And the number of connection terminals is small, so that the convenience of the user can be improved.

In a state where the KVM board 130 is installed in the internal network dedicated integrated computer 100, the user connects another computer using the external network to the integrated network dedicated integrated computer 100, And an external network. Here, the internal network means an internal network such as a LAN, the external network means an external network such as the Internet, and the external network computer means an APIM mini personal computer, a tablet PC, and the like.

In order to connect the external network computer 200 connected to the external network to the internal network dedicated computer 100, the data interface connection terminal is connected to the USB hub switch (not shown) of the KVM board 130 provided at the predetermined position of the main body 101 133). An HDMI cable is connected to the HDMI input port 150 provided at a predetermined position of the main body 101 for the HDMI data interface of the external network computer 200.

In this manner, the external network computer 200 is connected to the internal network dedicated integrated computer 100. When the computer 10 is used with the keyboard 10 and the mouse 20 while the internal network is initially connected to the internal network 100, the keyboard 10 and the mouse 20 are connected to each other, The internal computer device 120 is connected to the internal network. That is, the hub device 132 in the KVM board 130 transmits the signal input through the keyboard 10 and the mouse 20 connected to the HID USB 131 to the USB hub switch 133. The USB hub switch 133 is connected to the internal computer device 120 under the control of the KVM controller 134 linked to the main board scaler of the internal computer device 120 State). Then, a video signal generated according to the operation of the internal computer device 120 is displayed on the display panel 110, and a voice signal is transmitted through a connected speaker or earphone. Here, the initial state in which the external network computer 200 is connected is regarded as an internal network connection state, and the keyboard 10 and the mouse 20 are considered to be connected to the internal network dedicated computer 100.

Next, when the user generates a specific signal using the mouse 20 in order to use the external network, the network switching recognition unit 135 of the KVM board 130 receives the specific signal, And generates a network switch signal to the KVM controller 134 when it is determined.

Here, as a method for generating a specific signal using the mouse 20 which is used in the past, in the present invention, either one of the following two methods or two methods are used in parallel.

In the first method, a specific signal is generated using any one of a left button, a right button, and a wheel provided in the mouse 20 basically.

In the second method, at least two or more buttons among the three buttons provided on the mouse 20 are simultaneously pressed to generate a specific signal.

For the first method, use one of the three buttons to continuously press and hold. It is not necessary to distinguish which of the three buttons to use, and the user can continuously press any one of the three buttons continuously.

When the specific signal generated by the mouse 20 (which means a signal generated when the button is pressed) is continuously generated for a preset time or more for judging network switching, the network switching recognition unit 135 recognizes the specific signal . Here, it is preferable that the set time is a variable time, which is set by a computer manufacturer in advance at an appropriate time through experiments and shipped.

For the second method, at least two of the three buttons are pressed simultaneously. It is not necessary to distinguish which of the three buttons to use, and the user can press at least two of the three buttons simultaneously.

The network switch recognizing unit 135 recognizes that the specific signal generated by the mouse 20 (meaning a signal generated when the button is pressed) is a signal that simultaneously presses a plurality of buttons, as a network switch. Here, it is assumed that when a plurality of buttons provided on the mouse are pressed at the same time, specific signals different from those generated when a single button is pressed are generated. This can be implemented simply by changing the portion of the mouse that generates the signal.

The network switching recognition unit 135 generates a network switching signal and transmits the network switching signal to the KVM controller 134.

Here, the network switching means a state for changing the internal network into the external network.

The network switching signal is transmitted to the main board scaler of the internal network computer device 120 via the KVM controller 134. The main board scaler transfers the transferred network switching status signal to the main board so that the network switching control is performed.

As part of the network switching control, the network switching control signal generated from the main board is transmitted to the KVM controller 134 interlocked via the main board scaler. The KVM controller 134 controls the USB hub switch 133 in accordance with the network switch control signal transmitted from the internal hub switch controller 134b so that the USB hub switch 133 is connected to the external network computer 200 and the HID USB 131 and the HID input device (keyboard and mouse) connected thereto. In the present invention, a USB hub switch is used as a switch for network switching. This enables smooth network switching without buffering and rapid network switching. In particular, when the USB hub switch is used as the network switch, the user can obtain control of the keyboard and mouse from the desired network PC at a desired timing. That is, when the user uses the keyboard 10 and the mouse 20, the keyboard and the mouse are connected to the external network computer 200 Thus, the external network can be used quickly.

When the external network computer 200 is connected to the internal network computer device 120 to switch the network, the image and audio data generated from the external network computer 200 according to the operation of the user's keyboard 10 and mouse 20 Is input to the HDMI input port 150 provided at a predetermined position of the main body 101 through the HDMI cable. The video and audio data transmitted from the external network computer 200 through the main body 101 are displayed on the display panel 110 through the main board scaler and the voice is transmitted through the connected speaker or earphone. Thus, the user uses the external network computer 200 through network switching.

On the other hand, if network switching is performed, it may occur by adjusting a beep indicating that network switching has been performed to a volume level selected by the user.

For example, when network switching is performed, the network switch signal controller 134c of the KVM controller 134 adjusts the volume according to a predetermined adjustment level. Here, a separate volume control switch may be provided for volume control, or a hot key of the keyboard may be used.

In another aspect of the present invention, in order to improve security, a user is authenticated when a user requests network switching.

For this purpose, a fingerprint recognition sensor for recognizing the user is added to a predetermined position of the mouse 20, and when a specific signal generated in the mouse 20 is analyzed and recognized as a network switching signal, The fingerprint is recognized from the sensor. Thereafter, the recognized fingerprint is compared with the registered user fingerprint previously stored in the internal memory, and a network switch signal is generated only when the fingerprint matches with the registered user fingerprint and transmitted to the KVM controller 134.

That is, when an arbitrary user generates a specific signal using the mouse 20, the user fingerprint is recognized through the fingerprint recognition. Then, the registered fingerprint is compared with the recognized user fingerprint so that the network switching signal is generated only when they match do. As a result, even if an unauthorized user tries to switch the network using the mouse, the network is not switched, thereby improving the security. Here, the fingerprint for user authentication may be only for a specific user, but it is also possible to allow a plurality of users to use the same computer through fingerprint registration of a plurality of users who want to grant authority to use the computer as needed .

4 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a network switching method using a mouse according to the present invention.

A first embodiment of a network switching method using a mouse according to the present invention comprises: (a) confirming whether a specific signal is generated from a mouse 20 (S10); (b) if a specific signal is generated from the mouse 20 as a result of the checking in the step (a), analyzing the generated mouse signal and determining whether to switch the network (S20); (c) generating a network switching signal and performing network switching if it is determined that the network switching is performed (S30, S50, S60); And discarding the input signal if the specific signal is not a network switching signal (S40).

The first embodiment of the network switching method using the mouse of the present invention shows a process of performing software in the network switching recognition unit 135 in the KVM board 130.

The first embodiment of the network switching method using the mouse according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

If the user wishes to switch the network while using the computer using the specific network, the user generates a specific signal through the mouse 20.

Here, the specific signal for network switching may be generated by generating a specific signal by using any one of a left button, a right button, and a wheel basically provided in the mouse 20, or at least two of the three buttons provided in the mouse 20 A plurality of buttons can be pressed simultaneously to generate a specific signal. It is also possible to use the above two methods in parallel as necessary.

For the first method, use one of the three buttons to continuously press and hold. It is not necessary to distinguish which of the three buttons to use, and the user can continuously press any one of the three buttons continuously.

If a specific signal is generated from the mouse in step S10, the network switching recognition unit 135 determines in step S20 and step S30 whether the specific signal generated by the mouse 20 (meaning a signal generated when the button is pressed) It is checked whether it occurs continuously for more than the preset time. As a result of the check, if the specific signal continuously occurs for the set time or longer, it is recognized as network switching. Otherwise, if the specific signal is generated within the set range or more, the process goes to step S40 to discard the input signal.

Here, it is preferable that the set time is a variable time, which is set by a computer manufacturer in advance at an appropriate time through experiments and shipped.

For the second method, at least two of the three buttons are pressed simultaneously. It is not necessary to distinguish which of the three buttons to use, and the user can press at least two of the three buttons simultaneously.

The network switch recognizing unit 135 recognizes that the specific signal generated by the mouse 20 (meaning a signal generated when the button is pressed) is a signal that simultaneously presses a plurality of buttons, as a network switch. Here, it is assumed that when a plurality of buttons provided on the mouse are pressed at the same time, specific signals different from those generated when a single button is pressed are generated. This can be implemented simply by changing the portion of the mouse that generates the signal.

If the network switching is recognized as a network switching, the network switching recognition unit 135 generates a network switching signal and transmits the network switching signal to the KVM controller 134 in step S50. Here, the network switching means a state for changing the internal network into the external network.

The network switching signal is transmitted to the main board scaler of the internal network computer device 120 via the KVM controller 134. The main board scaler transfers the transferred network switching status signal to the main board so that the network switching control is performed (S60).

Since the operation of the computer after the network switching is performed is the same as the operation of the network switching apparatus using the known mouse, the description will be omitted in order to avoid redundant description.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of a network switching method using a mouse according to the present invention. The second embodiment of the network switching method using the mouse according to the present invention is also implemented in software by the network switching recognition unit 135 of the KVM board 130. [

As shown in FIG. 5, the second embodiment of the network switching method using a mouse according to the present invention includes (a) checking whether a specific signal is generated from a mouse (S50); (b) if a specific signal is generated from the mouse as a result of the checking in step (a), determining whether to switch the network by analyzing the generated mouse signal (S20, S30); (c) if it is determined that the network switching is performed as a result of the analysis in the step (b), recognizing the user (S70); (d) generating a network switching signal and performing network switching if the user is a registered user as a result of the recognition in the step (c) (S80 to S100); And discarding the input signal if the specific signal is not a network switching signal (S40).

The second embodiment of the network switching method using the mouse according to the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

If the user wishes to switch the network while using the computer using the specific network, the user generates a specific signal through the mouse 20.

Here, the specific signal for network switching may be generated by generating a specific signal by using any one of a left button, a right button, and a wheel basically provided in the mouse 20, or at least two of the three buttons provided in the mouse 20 A plurality of buttons can be pressed simultaneously to generate a specific signal. It is also possible to use the above two methods in parallel as necessary.

For the first method, use one of the three buttons to continuously press and hold. It is not necessary to distinguish which of the three buttons to use, and the user can continuously press any one of the three buttons continuously.

If a specific signal is generated from the mouse in step S10, the network switching recognition unit 135 determines in step S20 and step S30 whether the specific signal generated by the mouse 20 (meaning a signal generated when the button is pressed) It is checked whether it occurs continuously for more than the preset time. As a result of the check, if the specific signal continuously occurs for the set time or longer, it is recognized as network switching. Otherwise, if the specific signal is generated within the set range or more, the process goes to step S40 to discard the input signal.

Here, it is preferable that the set time is a variable time, which is set by a computer manufacturer in advance at an appropriate time through experiments and shipped.

For the second method, at least two of the three buttons are pressed simultaneously. It is not necessary to distinguish which of the three buttons to use, and the user can press at least two of the three buttons simultaneously.

The network switch recognizing unit 135 recognizes that the specific signal generated by the mouse 20 (meaning a signal generated when the button is pressed) is a signal that simultaneously presses a plurality of buttons, as a network switch. Here, it is assumed that when a plurality of buttons provided on the mouse are pressed at the same time, specific signals different from those generated when a single button is pressed are generated. This can be implemented simply by changing the portion of the mouse that generates the signal.

If it is recognized as the network switching, the fingerprint is recognized through the fingerprint recognition sensor provided in the mouse 20 in step S70, and the fingerprint recognized in step S80 is compared with the previously registered fingerprint for user recognition to check whether the user is the authorized user .

If it is determined that the user is an unauthorized user (if the recognized fingerprint is not registered), the process proceeds to step S40 where the input signal is discarded and the network switching operation is not performed.

On the other hand, if the user is an authorized user (if the recognized fingerprint matches the registered fingerprint), the user is recognized as a registered user.

If the registered user is recognized as a registered user, the network switching recognition unit 135 generates a network switching signal and transmits the network switching signal to the KVM controller 134 in step S90. Here, the network switching means a state for changing the internal network into the external network.

The network switching signal is transmitted to the main board scaler of the internal network computer device 120 via the KVM controller 134. The main board scaler transmits the transferred network switching status signal to the main board so that the network switching control is performed (S100).

Since the operation of the computer after the network switching is performed is the same as the operation of the network switching apparatus using the known mouse, the description will be omitted in order to avoid redundant description.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

The present invention is applied to a technique for generating a network switching signal using a mouse in a computer system using an internal network and an external network.
