Program. The above features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. <Embodiment] 1. Multi-Touch Multi-Directional Mouse and Control Command Generation FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of a multi-touch and multi-directional mouse. Slippery (or lie computer) can be any conventional form of the singularity of the singularity of the singularity of the computer. The function is to detect the two-dimensional motion of itself relative to its surface. In fact, in some embodiments, the mouse can include one or more buttons held by the user's hand. The mouse can also include a scroll wheel. In some embodiments, the mouse 100 has a deep V-shaped recess 1 〇 2 or other notch ' and the V-shaped recess 102 or notch has a flat surface 104 for receiving a multi-touch sensing panel 1 〇 6 . The multi-touch sensor board 106' disposed on the surface 1〇4 of the v-shaped recess 102 can be used by the interface driver to send out the multi-touch finger gesture command that it wants to achieve. The multi-touch sensing board 106 can independently refer to the multi-finger touch motion in which the above-described sensing board is obtained in the existing personal computer market. In some examples, the sensor panel includes Elantech®'s smart touch-enabled multi-function remote control (smartpad) and Synaptics® touchpad. Based on ergonomics, the industrial design of a multi-touch and multi-directional mouse can be very diverse. In some embodiments, the mouse 1 has a deep V-shaped notch or depression 1〇2 in the central region of its body 丨〇8. The surface 104 of the recess 102 is a flat surface and does not have a physical boundary at its left and right ends. The depth and width of the recess 102 should be sufficient to mount a small touchpad (area at least about 30 mm X 30 mm). That is to say, on the body of the mouse, the industrial design of the recess allows the user to smoothly place a plurality of fingers, and m 4 201218036 and smoothly drag the finger to the right, left, forward and backward. The recess 102 provides an ergonomically comfortable touchpad design, and the Month & allows the user to accidentally trigger the touchpad when using a conventional two-dimensional mouse operation. It is worth noting that the industrial design of a multi-touch mouse is not limited by the appearance of the mouse body and the calibration of the touchpad. FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a multi-touch and multi-directional mouse 2〇〇. The mouse 200 has a first multi-touch sensing board 106 contained in a deep v-shaped recess 1〇2 and a second sensing board 2〇2 located on the side 2〇4 of the mouse body 8 . The second sensing board 202 can be a multi-touch sensing board or a single-point sensing board. Figures 16 and 17 illustrate other embodiments of multi-touch mouse 16 and 17 turns. Figure 16 illustrates a mouse body ι 6 〇 2 having two side extensions 16 〇 8 and the two side extensions 1608 respectively include a touch pad 16 〇 4 and a touch pad 16 〇 6 . The touch panels 1_ and .1606 can be a single touch panel or a multi-touch panel, respectively. In one embodiment, the multi-touch mouse 16 (8) of Figure 16 includes two single-point trackpads. FIG. 17 illustrates a mouse body 17G2 having two touch panels, and a first touch panel 17〇6 is disposed on the top of the mouse body 17G2 and a second touch panel 17 (4) is disposed on the one side extensions 16A of the mouse body 1702. In other words, two separate touch panels can be placed at different locations on a single mouse body. & if not painted! Multi-touch and multi-directional mouse in 2, 16 and 17 have a transmission dimension π mouse force month b, and can be connected via a universal serial bus (such as 丨丨seHg bus, USB 'hereinafter referred to as USB) , Bluetooth (10) e _h) connector or other similar connector to send - a multi-control input data packet to the personal computer host. The user touches the main touchpad surface on the hand and/or the first sensing panel on the side of the mouse body. These finger touch actions are used to generate raw data packets including touch point coordinates related data. These data packets are used to create one of the pre-defed touch messages of the personal computer operating system, such as WM_TOUCH or 201218036 WM-GESTURE in Microsoft Windows® 7 operating system. Common pre-defined fine-grained messages. That is to say, the sensor board ι〇6 (touchpad) generates the touch data data including the touch points on the touch panel. These touches are used to generate the touch command message that can be recognized by the computer application. In some embodiments using the interface software algorithm (interface s〇ftwarealg〇rithm), the 'first-sense difficulty For example, the system can be combined with the second panel to control the age. For example, the maker can try to generate a three-finger touch gesture on L. However, when the crane is supported by the big charm and the little finger, the operation of using three fingers on the first sensing board may be uncomfortable. Therefore, the two-finger touch action on the board and the single-finger touch action on the second sensor board are combined to generate a three-finger touch message during the recording of the partial touch towel. In addition, ^ part of the implementation of the financial, the recording body can be combined with the touch _, and through the interface driver, the combined finger touch crane mapping to the final home control gesture message can be programmable. _ Figure 3 shows a top view of the multi-touch and multi-directional mouse 2GG of _2. FIG. 3 shows that by using the two-finger touch action on the first sensing board 1〇6 and the f-finger touch action on the second sensing board 202, the (four) three-finger touch action generates three Refers to the touch input. 4 is a side view showing the three-finger touch action illustrated in FIG. 3. Figure 5 illustrates another use of the second sensing plate 5〇2 in accordance with some embodiments, using the = control side good index. In the case of a closed towel, the two sets of blocks are included: pp-first half 5〇2a and one rear half (10). The front half 5〇2a can generate a single-finger touch action, and the touch rear half 502b can generate a two-finger touch action. These single- and two-finger touch actions are generated by using a user-programmable interface software. The programming of the programmable interface software, the user can pass the two-finger touch action and the drag action on the first sensor board 106 and a single-finger touch action on the second half of the second sensor board 502 To generate a four-finger touch gesture. FIG. 6 illustrates another use of the second touch panel 602 (sensing panel) according to some embodiments to control the touch hand index. As shown, the second touch panel 6〇2 includes four set blocks. Under such a setting, the number of "finger touches" generated on the second touch panel 6〇2 will vary according to the four positions of the front lower side, the front upper side, the lower rear side, and the upper rear side. . For the paste, in the case of a partial real towel, the lower side of the second board is used to represent the single-day touch action. Similarly, the upper part of the touch represents the sulfur touch action 丨 the lower part of the touch represents the three-finger touch action; and the upper position after the test represents the four-finger touch action.

The local (丨_) coordinate control points on the surface of the multi-control panel are displayed on the screen of the personal computer screen. The touch points on the surface of the mouse touchpad can be used at least two pairs. The method (the mapping mode) is mapped to the PC screen coordinates. The first method _ comes from the absolute position data of the finger touch action on the 1 multi-touch panel to map the stunning target to the entire 1 PC screen 11 field. This fiscal method (4) the overall mapping method (entirc mappir ^ethod). The second method of viewing _ comes from the small set of hand movements on the multi-point hard board. Wei turtle crane is reflected in the personal mystery shop; the sub-environment area, this financial method is called part The enantiomeric method Figure 7 details the overall entropy. The abscissa 7Q2 consists of no local two-dimensional coordinates on the surface of the t106. A set of transverse coordinate clothing and vertical sitting Γ 7〇 electric "curtain 714 surface _ display screen coordinates. The absolute position data of the sensing board 丨06^ Shijiao Luo will be reflected in the absolute position of the upper left corner 7i on the display curtain coordinates. Similarly, the lower left corner and the right side will be reflected on the respective corners of the sensing board 1G6. The absolute position of the drop! The finger touch action on the sensor board 66)6 provides the raw data of the Wei position. The touch data is mapped to the individual X, Y positions in the display record % = . The resolution of the touchpad data will be the same as that of the touchpad if the overall mapping or 疋 is in the screen, the other engineering of the right touchpad can be changed, and the specifications are not changed. The size is proportional. The larger the size of the touchpad, the more resolution of the touch command input on the display screen (3⁄4. Figures 8A and 8B illustrate the second mapping method, where the multi-point sensing board i 〇 6 (touch The absolute coordinates on the control panel are mapped to a portion of the mapping area on the PC screen coordinates. As shown, the user can move the partial mapping area by dragging the mouse, and then use the sensing board 106. A multi-finger touch command is generated in this partial engraving area. Figure 8A illustrates a partial entropy in detail, in this mapping method, via the local X coordinate on the surface of the sensing plate 1〇6 and the local γ coordinate The defined center point will be mapped to the center point of the display field on the display screen. As shown, the predetermined area 8〇〇 will only cover part of the PC screen area. The absolute position data in the upper left corner of the touch panel will be reflected in the absolute position of the upper left corner of the mapping area 800. Similarly, the absolute positions of the lower left corner, the lower right corner and the upper right corner of the sensing board 106 will be reflected in The respective corners of the engraving area 800. As shown in Fig. 8B It is shown that the user can move the position of the mapping area 800 by dragging the mouse body 1 。 8. According to the above, in some embodiments, the personal computer host interface program uses the mouse cursor data to align the mapping area 8 The coded instruction is executed at the position to be reached. Therefore, the user can move his mouse cursor to the desired position on the display screen of the personal computer, and then pass the multi-point sensing board on the touch mouse 1〇6. The surface starts to make multi-touch commands. Therefore, in some embodiments, for input control on the display screen, since the touch data from the touch panel is provided on the smaller enemies Higher resolution input, so the predetermined partial entropy mode has the technical advantage of being able to recognize higher precision touch data compared to the overall entropy mode. In some embodiments, regardless of the entropy method Even if the sensor area is smaller than the traditional digital tablet, the multi-point sensing board 1〇6 (touchpad) is defined as a universal serial bus human interface through the firmware in the mouse. Set (USB human interface device, USB-HID, hereinafter referred to as USB-HID) digitizer. The 201218036 provides an absolute local coordinate data set for each finger touch on the main touchpad table ©, where the main touch The control board is defined by the USB system. 2. Multi-finger gestures are generated through a multi-touch mouse design with a multi-touch panel. Figure 9A shows a multi-touch and multi-directional mouse basic hard. Functional block diagram of the hardware component and the firmware. In some embodiments, the firmware 900 U is on the printed circuit board, and systematically defines two independent uSB devices, logic devices, such as a ship's USB two-dimensional. The general logic device is USB_ffiD. The logic device #ι 滑 感 感 ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ ϋ The logic device #2 takes the data from the multi-touch sensor 9〇2 and uses the data packet as a USB_HID input device defined by the USB port. - Once the mouse is touched on the mouse, the lack of control is the health board, and the touch signal will be received by the kernel driver such as the Windows® 7 operating system. It is converted into touch messages such as WMJTOUCH in the Wind〇ws operating system. ^When the mouse moves, the mouse will input the data to the mouse and enter the data according to the mouse input type. The movement of the mouse defines the mouse's one. Part of the mapping area moves in the direction of the mouse's movement in response to mouse input data. FIG. 9A illustrates a block diagram of a Leot function in a multi-touch mouse. In the instant, (4) tlme man (10) intercepts the local absolute "^ data packets of the touch points on the multi-touch panel. These coordinates will then be displayed on the PC screen via the mobile. The output data packet from the five bodies contains the number of finger touches and the X.Y position data of each touch control data in the personal computer. . . 3·, ^ Multi-touch mouse design with main multi-touch panel and digital ray (sensing benefit based on switching signal) or 疋-human touch panel (only touch/untouched state) To generate a multi-finger gesture, FIG. 9B illustrates a multi-touch and multi-directional mouse basic hardware component and object work 3b block diagram 'which includes a main multi-touch sensor 9 〇 2 And a second touch 201218036 control sense θ 908 (single touch detection or multi-touch only) In some embodiments, the _ _ « 喊 义 立 (10) device, or logic device #2., S10A and 10B show that the two-finger touch action reflected by different touch data sets is in the FIG. 1GA towel, and the side puts two finger faces on the domain detector (10). The touch data is then displayed on the PC screen as two touch points, 1〇〇2 and 1〇〇4. In 10B, a first finger face from a main sensor The data of the chick will be viewed as a first touch point on the PC glory, and the touch of the sensor will come from the touch of the finger. State data (touch or • no touch) will be used to create a virtual touch point (virtualtouchpoinG secret) as a second touch point on the PC screen. The first touch point and the second touch The distance between the handles (ie, virtual touch points 1006) can be programmed by the object. The body uses the first touch point on the main sensor to match the local coordinate data with the predetermined small χ, the increase of the gamma series or The value is reduced to calculate the absolute local coordinate data of the second touch point. Once the virtual touch point 1006 is calculated, the coordinates of the touch point and other touch points are included in a data packet and transmitted to the personal computer. PC domain_ These difficulties produce a touch command message that can be recognized by the computer application. Figures 11 and 11 show the three-finger touch action performed by different touch data sets. In Figure UA 'The user places three finger blues on one main sensor ι6, and then the touch data generated by the touch actions of the three fingers is used as the touch points 1102, 1104 and 1106. On the PC screen. In Figure 11Β The two touch data from the two finger orchids on one main sensor will be reflected on the personal computer screen as two touch points 1114 and (1)6, and from the user's thumb touch- The touch state set (touch or no touch) of the secondary sensor 111〇 is used to create a virtual touch point 1112 as a third touch point on the personal computer screen. The distance between the actual touch point and the third touch point (ie, the virtual touch point) can be programmed by the zoom. The absolute local coordinate data of the first and second touch points on the main sensor board and the predetermined The increase or decrease of the small X, γ data to calculate the absolute local coordinate data of the second touch point of 201218036. Figures 2Α and 12Β illustrate a transform gesture generated by a two-finger touch action in Figure 12Α, You can drag two fingers 1200 along a horizontal or vertical direction on the main touchpad (detectable multi-touch sensor) to generate two-finger gestures (two "actual touch" actions ), as indicated by reference numerals 12〇2 and 12〇4. In Figure 12, the user can drag a finger 12〇6 along a horizontal or vertical direction on the main touchpad (detectable multi-touch sensor) while touching the thumb 12〇8 A secondary sensor is controlled to produce a two-finger transformation gesture represented by 1210 and 1212. It is worth noting that the two-finger transformation gesture is an actual touch point from the main touch panel and a virtual second touch point (or virtual touch point) from the secondary touch panel. Composed of. If the main finger of the main touch point is in the horizontal or vertical direction at each time point, the firmware recognizes the gesture as a transformation gesture, and calculates the virtual touch point to the coordinate along with the main touch point. In, as shown by the circle. Using the correlation between the data and these touch points (the PC host recognizes this association at any time), the first touch point will have a horizontal or vertical trajectory and will produce a transformation that can be recognized by the computer application. Gesture touch command message. Figures 13A and 13B illustrate a stretch/pinch gesture generated via a two-finger touch action. In FIG. 13A, the user can expand or contract two fingers on the main touchpad (a multi-touch sensing ||) to generate a two-finger expansion/contraction gesture as indicated by reference numeral 1302. Shown at 1304. In FIG. 13A, the user can drag a finger 1308 along a diagonal direction on the main touchpad (detectable multi-touch sensor) while using another finger or The thumb 131 is touched on the secondary touchpad to produce a two-finger expansion/contraction gesture represented by 1304 and 1306. If the main finger trajectory is in a tilt/diagonal direction, the firmware will treat the virtual touch point (ie, gesture 1306) as a stationary pivot point (piv〇tp〇int) to calculate the coordinates. That is, the personal computer host will generate a shrink or unfold gesture touch command. Figures 14A and 14B illustrate a rotation gesture generated by a two-finger touch action. 201218036 In Figure 14A, the user can drag two fingers 1400 on the main touchpad (detectable multi-touch sensor) to generate a two-finger rotation gesture, such as labels 14〇2 and 1404. Show. In FIG. 14B, the user can drag a finger 1408 on the main touchpad (detectable multi-touch sensor) to draw a circular trajectory while using another finger or thumb 1410. Touching is performed on the secondary sensor to produce a two-finger rotation gesture represented by 丨4〇4 and 14〇6. When the trajectory of the main finger is recognized by the firmware as a circular trajectory, the firmware will use this virtual touch point (ie, gesture 14〇6) as a dynamic pivot point to calculate the coordinates. In other words, the personal computer host will generate a rotating gesture touch command message. 4. Multi-finger gesture multi-touch gestures are generated by a multi-touch mouse design with a single touch sensor and a digital switch or a secondary touch panel (only touch / φ untouched state) The creation can be created by setting up a single touch panel and a digital switch (or a touch state detection sensor). In some embodiments, such as those disclosed in Figure 16, the multi-touch mouse is comprised of two single touch detection sensors. This embodiment can be defined as a multi-touch mouse to implement a reduced gesture function. Referring again to FIG. 9B, a functional block diagram of a multi-touch and multi-directional mouse basic hardware component and firmware including two single-touch detection sensors is illustrated. In some embodiments, firmware 900 systematically defines two separate USB devices, or logic device #1 and logic device #2. In this embodiment, the mouse is equipped with a touch panel 908 that can only detect single touch and a digital switch that can only detect touch (0N) or release (〇FF). The hardware of the switch can be a push switch or a touch sensor capable of detecting a touch/non-touch state. This embodiment can generate up to two finger gesture commands. FIG. 12B illustrates a set of finger touch actions included in the main main sensor) pads (detection only at the single touch position) and the secondary sensor (only touch/non-touch states). The data can be viewed on the PC screen. - The human touch data (touch on/off state) is used as a virtual touch point, which is described in the title of paragraph 3 above. "via a multi-touch panel with a digital switch ([S] 12 201218036 The multi-touch mouse of the switch signal-based sensor is designed to generate multi-finger gestures." The two-finger transformation gesture here is similar to the finger gesture generation example illustrated in Figure 12B. The two-finger contraction/expansion gesture here produces an example similar to the finger gesture generation example depicted in Figures 13A and 13B. The generation of the two-finger rotation gesture here is similar to that in Figure 14B: The illustrated finger gesture generation example. 5.

The device driver module 15〇4 in the user mode layer of the operating system will encode the original data packet of the mouse, and will perform the following two operation steps: (1) • compilation from the USB driver data packet, and (2) Multi-touch and multi-directional commands are generated. In the first step, the user-level device driver 15〇6 (the driver is driven by the driver) compiles the finger touch action by using the software, that is, defines each finger for each sensing board at each time point. The number of finger touch points and the local location. In the first step, if the program is ready to receive the multi-touch message as one of the standard interface input streams (standard interactive - also (4)), the interface driver will generate the and the driver. Multi-touch messages related to computer operating system messages, that is, according to the finger gambling action and the finger line number, the MMO control message is transmitted (that is, WM-TOUCH or WM_GESTURE in the 〇7 operating system) . 13 201218036 If the application 1512 can receive multi-touch input but cannot recognize the multi-touch message as its standard interface input command, then the user-level device driver 1506 will launch an auxiliary interface driver 1508 (supplemental) Interface driver). The auxiliary interface driver will output to the application 1512 the corrected sensor data that has been converted into an appIicati〇n Specmc input format that can be applied by the application 1512 D line. " For example, if the application 1510 cannot receive multi-touch input and only recognizes the traditional standard input data defined in the operating system (c〇nventi〇nal standar(j input data)' such as in the old Windows job In the case of a mouse/keyboard in the system case, the auxiliary interface driver 1508 converts the data packet of the multi-touch sensor board into a set of conventional standard input data, and outputs the analog input of the traditional standard input to the application 1510. The information (emulated inputmessage) enables the application program to execute its interactive instructions.
