Description of drawings
Below in conjunction with the drawings and the specific embodiments the present invention is described in further detail.
Fig. 1 is the track ball mouse synoptic diagram;
Fig. 2 is X86 framework computing machine one an embodiment synoptic diagram of the present invention.
Embodiment
X86 framework computing machine one embodiment of the present invention as shown in Figure 2, comprise central processing unit (CPU), embedded controller (Embedded Controller, EC) and a track ball mouse, a gravity sensor, a upper strata drive software (driver);
A plurality of signal ends of described track ball mouse meet a plurality of GPIO (General Purpose Input Output, general input) of embedded controller respectively;
The signal end of described gravity sensor connects embedded controller by SMBUS (System Management Bus);
Described embedded controller, when judging that track ball mouse has new data to produce (variation of the high-low level of a plurality of signal ends by track ball mouse is judged), then the new data of described roller-ball mouse is deposited into first memory block in the embedded controller, and sends the first idle scan code (as the 0x7C among the scan code set1) to CPU;
