Embodiment

As shown in Figure 1, Fig. 1 is the computer input unit control circuit calcspar of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, is that each input end of control core unit 10 connects plural button 11,12 respectively, a roller sensing unit 20 and switches switch 30 in one with microcontroller (MCU) mainly; Wherein:

This roller sensing unit 20, it comprises a roller and a code device at least, in order to the rolling situation of set spool roller on the induction computer input unit; Wherein at roller end or code device end and be provided with " lattice " of plural number, and produced the FORCE FEEDBACK of a correspondence during at rotation roller as the user, and allow the user understand the situation of roller rotation.That is to say that when the amount of user's scroll wheel healed big (little), the lattice number of experience will the more (lack).

This control module 10 built-in one general scrolling patterns and an automatic scrolling pattern, this generally scrolling pattern is the principle of work of traditional computer input media, its spool signal is sent along with the rolling of spool roller; When the user stops scroll wheel, then stop the action that scrolls.

Again, this pattern that scrolls automatically then comprises one and judges the flow process and a parameter speed table of comparisons, the different scroll speeds of default many groups on this parameter speed table of comparisons, and each group scroll speeds is set up related with different spool roller rolling amounts respectively; Under this pattern, control module 10 sees through roller sensing unit 20 and obtains (or lattice number) behind the rolling amount of spool roller in the unit interval, promptly further utilize aforesaid judgement flow process, cooperate the application of this parameter speed table of comparisons, the speed of spool signal is sent in decision.

This change-over switch 30 is looked operational needs itself for the user, selects computer input unit to be operated in general modfel or the pattern that scrolls automatically, and in other words, the user can see through change-over switch 30 and freely select whether to enter automatic scrolling pattern.Wherein this change-over switch 30 can be a switch independently, or any Macintosh, to reach the purpose of switching.

Below sincerely be in workflow under the scroll speeds self-regulation mode at computer input unit:

But the content of at first supposing a line parameter speed table of comparisons as shown in Figure 2, and by finding out that the 1st kind of speed was sent the spool signal one time in for example per 5 seconds automatically with cycle regular time in the table, relative spool roller spool spare is: 1 lattice forward or backward roll.The 2nd kind of speed in the table of comparisons was promptly sent 10 times the spool signal automatically at per 1 second when the spool roller is rolled 2 lattice forward or backward again; The 3rd kind of speed was sent 20 times the spool signal automatically at per 1 second when the spool roller is rolled 3 lattice forward or backward; The 4th kind of speed was sent 40 times the spool signal automatically at per 1 second when the spool roller is rolled 4 lattice forward or backward; Aforementioned the 1st kind of speed belongs to scroll speeds at a slow speed, and the 2nd to 4 kind of speed belongs to quick scroll speeds, and the 2nd to 4 kind of speed increases scroll speeds automatically with geometric progression shown in the table.Kind and content as for speed then can be set when dispatching from the factory, or utilize driver to look actual state by the user and expanded and adjust.

When the user switches to computer input unit automatic scrolling pattern (seeing also shown in Figure 3), control module 10 is the rolling lattice number (being rolling amount) of interpretation spool roller, and count according to gained scrolling lattice and to find out corresponding scroll speeds in the autoregressive parameter speed table of comparisons, send the spool signal according to this speed immediately.For example, when the user reads data on the window page line by line, can make spool roller on the computer input unit lattice that roll, after control module 10 is received information, promptly carry out the 1st kind of speed, automatically send 1 spool signal at set intervals, under this situation, window page will be at set intervals automatic coiling once, unless the user initiatively removes or changes this function, otherwise in reading process, user's spool roller on the computer input unit of promptly need not starting to roll.

When if the user must browse a large amount of window page data, then need only make computer input unit switch to automatic scrolling pattern after, when again roller being rolled into a certain lattice forward or backward and counting, the action that can scroll automatically; And the number of times that the lattice number is the more sent the spool signal in the unit interval also the more, thereby accelerate the speed of page rolling.When computer input unit works in a certain scroll speeds, control module 10 still continues to judge the rolling situation of spool roller, and can be adjusted to a new scroll speeds thereupon, for example, if computer input unit works under the 3rd kind of scroll speeds, if the spool roller by the lattice that roll forward, promptly switches to the 4th kind of scroll speeds, if the lattice that roll backward then are cut to the 2nd kind of scroll speeds.

For further facilitating user's operation, control module 10 is further set in judging flow process: when computer input unit is in automatic scrolling pattern, when if the user touches arbitrary button on the computer inputs or change-over switch, promptly stop to send the spool signal automatically, and return back to general scrolling pattern.
