The invention will be further described below in conjunction with drawings and Examples for embodiment.
First embodiment adopts the situation of common port (serial ports or parallel port) when two cursors are arranged.
In Fig. 1, computer system has shown two cursors on the display interface (1) of its display device: two (3) of one of cursor (2) and cursor.The shape or the color of these two cursors have evident difference, so that the operator easily differentiates them.Concerning the operator, cursor is corresponding to the hand of oneself, and concerning computing machine, a cursor is corresponding to a pointing apparatus, and pointing apparatus of a hand control.Certainly, this corresponding relation can change by artificial being provided with: the pointing apparatus of controlling as the pointing apparatus and the right hand of left hand control exchanges mutually.Pointing apparatus and the cursor of this moment are one to one, i.e. corresponding cursor of pointing apparatus, and corresponding another cursor of another pointing apparatus.
In Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the bus of computer system (4) is connected with two pointing apparatus (5).General when computer system is moved, pointing apparatus (5) can send and contain the data of coordinate and click information to bus (4).
Fig. 2 is a kind of situation that pointing apparatus is connected with bus among first embodiment.Two pointing apparatus (5) are connected with bus (4) by different ports, and this moment, two pointing apparatus (5) and two ports were corresponding one by one.
Fig. 3 is the another kind of situation that pointing apparatus is connected with bus among first embodiment.Two pointing apparatus (5) are connected with bus (4) by common port, in the data that pointing apparatus (5) sends two identification code are set, and can this identification code to be set by a switch of pointing apparatus (5) outside be 10 or 11.When the identification code of a pointing apparatus was arranged to 10, the identification code of another pointing apparatus should be arranged to 11.
Be the explanation of doing from hardware aspect above.
Describe from the software aspect below.
In order to reach the purpose of a cursor of pointing apparatus control, the software of computer system need make two pointing apparatus (5) and two cursors correspondence one by one, and this process is generally divided initialization and two stages of data processing.
At initial phase, the operating system of computer system or application program are set up one-to-one relationship between pointing apparatus and the cursor when starting or after new pointing apparatus has been installed.Fig. 4 is that operating system or application program are carried out initialized method among first embodiment.Process is: whether identification code is arranged in the first specified data; If have, then identification code and cursor are set up corresponding relation and this corresponding relation is preserved; If there is not identification code, then will sets up corresponding relation between the port at pointing apparatus place and the cursor and this corresponding relation be preserved.Pointing apparatus is with after a cursor is corresponding, and another pointing apparatus is then corresponding with another cursor.
Which in the data processing stage, need pick out data from pointing apparatus so that handle corresponding cursor according to data.Fig. 5 is that operating system or application program are handled the method that pointing apparatus sends to the data of bus among first embodiment.By operating system or application program the data that two pointing apparatus (5) send to bus (4) are handled, make on the display interface (1) of display device to have shown two cursors, and each cursor is subjected to the control of a pointing apparatus (5).The operator just can with the hands operate two pointing apparatus (5) and control two cursors like this.
In Fig. 5, operating system or application program determine it is the data which pointing apparatus sends earlier, and then repaint corresponding with it cursor according to data.In the process of differentiating pointing apparatus, whether identification code is arranged in the first specified data; If have, then differentiate by the difference of identification code; If there is not identification code, then differentiate by the difference of port.And then the relation one to one of pointing apparatus of setting up according to initial phase and cursor can specified data be to derive from the pairing pointing apparatus of which cursor.Distinguish the changes in coordinates information in the data of judging pointing apparatus after the pointing apparatus that sends data again, to determine whether to repaint cursor.If the coordinate no change need not to repaint cursor in this embodiment, and directly go the incident that judges whether that click causes, have and then carry out; If coordinate changes, repaint cursor so: repaint the incident that judges whether click again behind the cursor and caused, have then and carry out.
Be supplementary notes below to first embodiment:
If two pointing apparatus can both send the data of identification code, then two pointing apparatus both can be connected with bus by different ports as shown in Figure 2, also can be connected with bus by common port as shown in Figure 3.Operating system or application program reach the purpose of a cursor of a pointing apparatus control by the difference of identification code.
If data that can send identification code in two pointing apparatus, and another can not send the data of identification code, then two pointing apparatus both can be connected with bus by different ports as shown in Figure 2, also can be connected with bus by common port as shown in Figure 3.Operating system or application program reach the purpose that a pointing apparatus is controlled a cursor by the difference or the having or not of identification code of port.
If two pointing apparatus all can not send the data of identification code, then two pointing apparatus can only be connected with bus by different ports as shown in Figure 2.Operating system or application program reach the purpose of a cursor of a pointing apparatus control by the difference of port.Because if these two pointing apparatus are connected with bus by common port, so in this embodiment then can't discrimination apparatus and the source of differentiating data.
Identification code about pointing apparatus: this identification code is used for distinguishing pointing apparatus in this embodiment and uses.With the PS/2 mouse is example, and two bits that two idle positions in the form of the data that this mouse is sent constitute are as identification code, and identification code has two probable values: 10 and 11.The switch of pointing apparatus identification code is a contactor (this switch can directly be provided with on pointing apparatus by the operator), and pointing apparatus determines that by disconnection or the closure of checking this switch the identification code that sends in the data is 10 or 11.
Second embodiment is the situation that adopts USB port when two cursors are arranged.
The USB port standard is popularized just gradually now.Two USB pointing apparatus (such as mouse) are connected to bus by a USB port, perhaps are connected to bus by two different USB port.When two USB pointing apparatus (such as mouse) are contained in one or two different USB port, support the operating system of USB to distinguish and distribute to recognition of devices code of each USB pointing apparatus this recognition of devices code promptly can be used for differentiating data from which USB pointing apparatus to two USB pointing apparatus by the USB controller.
The 3rd embodiment is a situation with pointing apparatus of cursor selection mechanism.
Can make a pointing apparatus be provided with cursor selection mechanism (as on mouse, increasing button or knob etc.) by improving existing pointing apparatus, distinguish the different conditions of cursor selection mechanism and make the corresponding different cursor of different conditions to control two or more cursors.Such as for the situation that a mouse and two cursors are arranged, can on mouse, increase a cursor selection key and be used for selecting cursor, the cursor on (not according to the cursor selection key) mouse control left side during default conditions, and when the cursor selection key is the state that is pressed, the signal that is pressed to this button by software detection makes the cursor (process flow diagram is seen Fig. 6) on the right of the mouse correspondence.Also can be with the middle key that has three key mouse now as cursor selection mechanism, this will redefine by software.
The equipment of this class control cursor position such as pointing apparatus finger mouse, touch pad, trace ball, TrackPoint comprises that also above pointing apparatus also can be wireless connections with the equipment of the control cursor of simulations such as joystick or keyboard among the present invention.In addition, the computer system that touch-screen arranged usually waits to determine that with finger or writing pencil the object that needs to click comes operating system, and this moment, these class position input tools such as finger or writing pencil were the pointing apparatus among the present invention.
Existing the computer system of touch-screen is arranged is (also can indicate with cursor) that need not cursor, does not also have fixedly connected pointing apparatus.But its same input operation that can't handle two or more simultaneous fingers or writing pencil, the operated system that can handle two or more simultaneous fingers or writing pencil is the same effect with the present invention then.
Application program among the present invention is meant the application program of moving in the operating system that does not have the many cursor functions of control.
In actual application, can also as required multiple cursors computer system be arranged to multiple situation:
Such as:
1, when two pointing apparatus were arranged, two pointing apparatus were controlled same cursor, did not allow another cursor show, can realize or the identification code of two pointing apparatus is set to identical by software programming this moment;
2, when two pointing apparatus are arranged, only use a pointing apparatus, another pointing apparatus is removed or forbidden, on display device, only show a cursor this moment.
