Mode sensor (18) is arranged in pedestal (3), and has what is extended from pedestal (3) to bottom contact plane (7) Protuberance.Mode sensor (18) in the embodiment of Fig. 1-Figure 11 displays is configured to small protrusion nib or domed shape.So And, it is to be understood that according to mouse size and configuration change in shape can occur for the shape.

The mouse (1) of the present invention can provide enhancing by being operated under two different modes on the mouse of prior art Function.

Mouse (1) is configured to when in the first direction (ginseng with the bottom contact plane (7) contacted with working surface (5) See Fig. 2 a, Fig. 3 a, Fig. 7, Figure 10, Figure 11 a) when be operated under first " pointer " pattern, and can pivot (and selectivity lift Rise) arrive have relative to working surface (5) tilt so that mode sensor (18) contact working surface (5) and open second " touch Touch " second direction of the bottom contact plane (7) of pattern (referring to Fig. 2 b, Fig. 3 b, Figure 11 b).Mode sensor (18) is at its end End includes switch, button, trigger etc., and due to contacting and/or the increased pressure from working surface (5), it can quilt Drive to trigger the change of pattern.

In the embodiment shown in the figures, mode sensor (18) can open two patterns, i.e. first mode and second Pattern.It is to be appreciated, however, that mode sensor can be configured to the configuration according to mouse and open more or different moulds Formula.

It is to be understood that user can differently manipulate mouse (1) according to their preference.Usually, redirecting is By lifting and tilting mouse (1) until that mode sensor (18) is contacted with working surface (5) is caused.This movement is by finger And/or the manipulation of wrist is produced with slightly rotating and tilting mouse (1) backward.For right hand user, this movement Mouse (1) is caused mainly to turn clockwise, for left hand user, this movement causes rotate counterclockwise, and at two kinds All tilt backwards and may lift in situation.Once under the second mode mouse can with serve as with working surface (5) only Any direction of the mode sensor (18) of one contact point is tilted on mode sensor (18), mode sensor (18) therefore is filled Work as pivoting point.

Mode sensor (18), which is positioned to prevent, is switched to second mode, until mouse (1) is tilted beyond critical angle. Incline it is desirable that critical angle is the minimum for allowing user to start second mode easily in the case where not manipulating mouse excessively Angle.If however, critical angle is too small, can be very easy under pointer mode not inadvertently touch in mouse moving process To mode sensor (18), so as to not inadvertently be switched to second mode.Therefore, it is necessary to compromise be made, so that the critical angle Minimum is narrowed down to, while risk of handover unintentional between making pattern is preferably minimized.

Critical angle in preferred embodiment is bottom contact plane (7) since the inclination angle working surface (5), the inclination angle Between five to ten spend.Critical angle is five degree in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1-Fig. 5, is seven degree in Fig. 6-Figure 12.

The second direction of herein cited singulative, it is to be understood, however, that second direction can be within particular range Any direction.Therefore, the reference to " second direction " is interpreted as referring to any direction within " second direction scope ".Touch The pattern of touching redirects the three-dimensional scope in angle that scope is defined as between second mode critical angle and maximum angle, wherein：

A) movable sensor system detectio is less than the relative motion between mouse (1) and working surface (5), or

B) mouse (1) can not be further rotated, if for example, a part for working surface (5) touch mouse (1) or made User can not physiologically further rotate.

It is general since five degree working surface (5) between 50 degree of inclination angles that second mode redirects scope, such as Shown in Fig. 1-Fig. 5 embodiment, or in the embodiment shown in Fig. 6-Figure 12 between about seven to 30 degree.

On Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 b, 35 degree are may be up in the inclined angle of second direction, at this point retainer (19) Working surface (5) is contacted, prevents from further rotating.In alternative embodiment (referring to Fig. 2), retainer (19) can be positioned Allow 50 degree of inclination angle before Cheng Yu working surfaces (5) contact.It should be understood that, although retainer (19) can provide expression The useful haptic feedback of inclination angle limit, but this is not essential, and mouse (1) alternative shaping is more free to allow Rotation.

Nominally Fig. 7 show with or optimal inclination angle (φ) embodiment, measuring the inclination angle (φ) since the vertical line is 70 degree, i.e., 20 degree of the bottom contact plane inclination angle since the working surface.Maximum before contact retainer (19) is inclined Angle (φ) is six elevenths, i.e., 29 degree of the bottom contact plane inclination angle since the working surface.

Fig. 2 and Fig. 6-Figure 16 shows the mode sensor (18) from part (41) projection of pedestal (3), the portion of pedestal (3) Point (41) in a first direction in (Fig. 2 a, Fig. 7, Figure 10, Figure 11 a) from bottom contact plane (7) rise, and by tilting and selecting Property is lifted mouse (1) and started to second direction (Fig. 2 b, 11b) with pressing mode sensor (18) and opening touch mode.

Mode sensor (18) projects into downwards the pattern when mouse (1) is redirected more than critical angle from pedestal (3) Sensor (18) becomes the degree with the mere contact point of working surface (5).Therefore, being used as using mode sensor (18) can The small contact point with working surface (18) accurately controlled very much by user, similar to the nib of stylus.

Mode sensor (18) is formed as pressable switch, and it hasOr other anti abrasive low friction materials The outer contact surface of material, to contact and move through working surface (5).Mode sensor (18) is connected to end The end of lever (36), the circuit that the end is configured to starting switch or closed on the internal circuit board of mouse (1,100,200).

Mode sensor (18) has very small startup stroke relative to conventional button, so that it easily starts, and " click " in the be audible or tactile of conventional button is not produced.When mobile mouse (1) is simultaneously on working surface (5) When mode sensor (18) is mere contact point, this " click " is worthless in ergonomics, because user The uneven pressure of degree can be applied, this causes continuously " click ".Importantly, with the minimum easy start-up mode of pressure Sensor (18), so that it can easily be slided on working surface (5), mouse is pushed down on without user, and this can be to making The hand of user produces significant tension force.

Mode sensor (18) is also releasably connected to lever (36) by screw, if exterior end contact surface mill Damage, then screw is suitable for promoting the replacing of mode sensor (18).It is also contemplated that selectively, passing through replaceable card Button, is capable of the contact jaw of releasedly fixed mode sensor (18).

The optical motion sensor system used in mouse (1) is more clearly illustrated in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 and Fig. 9 (17).Each optical motion sensor system (17) must be arranged to make image sensor to receive to can be used to detect first and the The image of relative motion in two directions between mouse (1) and working surface (5).This can make mouse (1) under two patterns Mobile and/or position data is provided to computer.

It is conceivable, that alternative using two single sensors, each sensor is wherein one in two patterns Individually detection movement under individual pattern, and mode sensor (18) is used for switching the ON/OFF of proper sensors.Clearly, for For embodiment with multiple patterns, using multiple single sensors.Enclosed however, being brought using multiple sensors Increase, complexity and the possibility failed of cost.Moreover, each is used for detecting mobile sensor in one mode It will need under other patterns by deactivation, to prevent battery from exhausting or any interference with other sensors.

The example of suitable optical motion sensor system (17) is shown in Fig. 4, it includes two poly- carbonic acid of identical There is lens (26) and aperture diaphragm (27) between ester prism (22a, 22b), prism.First prism (22a) has from worksheet Face (5) receives input face (23a), output face (24a) and the reflecting surface (25a) of light.Then, from reflecting surface (25a) Light be transmitted to output face (24a).Second prism (22b) also has input face (23b), output face (24b) and total internal reflection Surface (25b).Lens (26) and the aperture diaphragm (27) of correlation are arranged on the first output prism surface (24a) and the input of the second prism Between face (23b).Image sensor (16) is arranged on printing board PCB (21), and receives light from output face (24b).The One prism input facet (23a) tilts about 22 degree since the contact plane of bottom, and reflecting surface (25a) is relative to input face (23a) tilts 55 degree to ensure total internal reflection and direct the light to lens (26).Therefore, biprism optical system is ensured from work The light of surface (5) reflection is received and focused in the first and second directions by image sensor (16).Importantly, image sensing Device (16) receives the light for the focusing reflected from working surface (5) in the first and second directions, so as to first and second Relative movement of the mouse (1) on working surface (5) is determined under pattern.

Alternative embodiment is shown in Fig. 5, the embodiment is generally similar to Fig. 4 configuration, but lens (27) shape Into on the first output prism surface (24a) and the second prism input facet (23b).

Embodiment shown in accompanying drawing is the exemplary configuration of optical motion sensor system (17), and in mouse (1) Used alternative optical system be it is possible, it include have since bottom contact plane (7) it is inclined at least One lens (26) and/or the lens configuration of itself tiltable image sensor (16), such as image sensor (16) are installed On inclined PCB.In one embodiment, optical system can have two prisms and lens subassembly for being formed as single body. Therefore, optical system (17) can take any form, if its in the first and second directions by the light directing generally focused on Image sensor (16).

Preferred optical motion sensor system (17) is shown in Fig. 9, rather than using Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 inclined surface, The optical system (17) is configured with component, for providing the sufficiently large depth of field, and the depth of field can make mouse (1) first and second The relative movement between mouse (1) and working surface (5) is detected under pattern.

Optical system includes being transmitted to light into the light source (35) of prism (40), and light is re-directed receiving lens by prism (40) (26), the focal zone of aperture diaphragm (27) and optical sensor (16) below.Optical sensor (16) and light source (35) are directly Circuit board (21) is installed on, circuit board (21) extends in the plane parallel with bottom contact plane (7), and light source (35) is vertical It is luminous in circuit board (21).Therefore, prism (40) is set so that light to be redirected, with the region of illumination lens (26b) below.

In this embodiment, the depth of field is 0.88mm+/- 20%, and lower lens surface (26b) arrives the minimum of working surface (5) Focal length is 1.46mm+/- 10%, and maximum in 2.34mm+/- 10%, and lower lens surface (26b) and working surface (5) it Between optical focal length in 1.78mm.It should be understood that these are exemplary dimensions, and optical system (17) can be changed to be adapted to not With the mouse of size and shape, as long as optical sensor (16) receives the image of sufficient optical resolution, i.e. in the first He The sufficient image of degree of focus in second direction, to detect relative change, so as to detect that mouse is moved.

The depth of field is determined that these parameters include lens aperture, enlargement ratio, focal length, lens, aperture by various systematic parameters The distance between diaphragm and sensor, sensor size/resolution ratio and fault-tolerant.Lens (26) shown in Fig. 9 are with having The lens thick 0.37mm of upper surface (26a) in asymmetric, upper surface (26a) have the radius of curvature bigger than downside (26b), About 0.3mm aperture, 0.88mm lens to sensor distance.Focal zone or region have 1mm diameter.

It is preferred that arrangement optical motion sensor system so that focal zone close to or close to mode sensor (18), with Make the distance change on lens to surface between the first and second directions minimum, so that, make needs be used for ensuring mouse optical device The depth of field narrow down to minimum the image fully focused on can be received in both direction.

It is to be understood that optical motion sensor system can be placed further away from mode sensor (18), and pass through profit There is larger fault-tolerant image sensor still with the optical motion sensor system with the maximal field depth or to low pixel image So operate under two patterns.However, the larger depth of field is still detected when causing mouse to be lifted under pointer mode away from surface It is mobile, as it was earlier mentioned, this is worthless, because user can have found do not providing the situation of index movement input to screen Under be difficult to lift and reappose mouse.When mouse (1) is lifted under pointer mode to forbidding index to be limited the need for moving Workable the maximal field depth is made.Usually, when the bottom contact plane (8) of mouse lifts several millimeters, typically lift less than 3 millis There is provided the depth of field to prevent index from moving during rice.Therefore, optical motion sensor system (17) is placed with close enough pattern and passed Sensor (18), to detect mouse movement within the limited depth of field under two patterns.

It is to be understood that can ensure that mouse (1) can detect the movement of both direction by suitably optimization component, and Use alternative optical system.

First operator scheme in preferred embodiment is " pointer mode ", in this mode, represents the movement of mouse (1) And/or location data signal causes the pointer on the display screen of master computer (2) to move, i.e. calculated similar to conventional mouse The operation of machine.

When bottom contact plane (7) on first direction tilt and/or elevated second direction in so that mode sense When device (18) is pressed against working surface and driven therefrom, start second mode or " touch mode ".Under touch mode, light The mobile generation that system (17) is detected can be translated into the data-signal of touch event by machine solution.

Touch event is the term for being used herein to description event, and the event is translated on equivalent touch screen by machine solution Touch or mouse/keyboard order for providing equivalent command.For example, Windows 8 can register touch event and make Various functions are performed for response.Another example may include Android OS devices, and it is configured to registration and is equal to touch event Mouse left click and be used as slide touch event subsequent movement.As described above, touch event is generally fall into in Types Below One kind：Touch, long-press, slip, drag, brush against, roll, shrink, deploy or rotate.

" slip " gesture is ordered for a kind of user, and it represents finger by touching the movement of screen, and typically causes The movement of GUI component such as GUI page, diagram, text, screen or window.Slip gesture is tablet PC, mobile phone And a kind of other major control modes for touching screen computer.General slip movement includes translation (vertical and/or level It is mobile), roll (vertically moving) and brush against (rapid vertical is moved horizontally).Slip gesture may also include formulation gesture, for example Shape, alphanumeric, word, symbol or pattern, so as to provide extra control and potential order.

The startup of mode sensor (18) is not only used to start the second mouse action mode, and for representing by moving To the touch event of computer (2) at the position that sensor (17) is represented.Therefore, under the second mode, mouse (1) can be with similar Work and touched there is provided equivalent finger and mobile in the mode of finger manipulation on screen.

Under the second mode, computer (2) receives the mouse on the working surface (5) that image sensor (16) is detected Mobile be used as slidably inputs, so that providing slip touches screen commands to computer (2).

Second mode can also be specific for application program, for example, in drawing application program, second mode can be drawing mould Formula, under Graphics Mode, mobile data signal is interpreted as computer software charting component such as digital pen, brush by computer (2) The movement of son etc..

Similarly, in Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software, second mode can be rotary mode, in rotation Under rotary-die type, mobile data signal is interpreted as 3D rotations or other parameters by computer (2).

Touch mode can also be useful not through touching the computer operating system of optimization to control, and for example can be used to provide Advance and backspace keyboard commands, or the startup of mode sensor (18) can communicate with computer, such as conventional mouse is clicked on middle Key is the same, so as to start translational mode.Or, the startup of mode sensor (18) can be interpreted as click right, to touch Pattern can be used in the software application pre-configured for mouse gestures, for example Google Chrome, Firefox.

Another mouse of Figure 12-Figure 14 displays according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.The mouse (100) is bigger than first embodiment Much (about 12cm, 6cm, 4cm), and with more conventional holding upper body (102).

Mouse (100) also has roller (105) and the shape with left mouse button (103) and right side mouse button (104) Two feelers that formula is provided.Support feet (108) formation bottom contact plane (107), and when it is slided on the work surface It is used for supporting mouse when dynamic.

Mouse (100) has mode sensor (109), and mode sensor (109) is oriented to prominent downwards from pedestal (101) Rise.Optics mobile detecting system (110), which is disposed and configured to provide, is located at mode sensor (109) or closely mode sense The focal zone of device (109).Optical system (110) has the configuration for being similar to the first mouse embodiment (1) as shown in Figure 9, and The mouse movement in first direction (Figure 13) and second direction (Figure 14) can be detected.

Pedestal (101) have from the right side (111) of bottom contact plane (107) acclivitous downside (106) and before Portion (112).Downside inclined-plane (111,112) provide space, the space allow mouse (100) redirect to the right and/or forward with Start-up mode sensor (109), without the interference by pedestal (101) other positions.

The mouse (200) according to 3rd embodiment is shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16, mouse (200) has and Figure 12-Figure 14 Mouse identical component and general shape, i.e. mouse (200) have roller (205), left mouse button (203) and right side mouse Mark button (204), formed bottom contact plane (207) support feet (208) and inclined right side (111).

The difference of mouse (200) and mouse (100) is that the rear side of mode sensor (209) towards mouse (200) is positioned, And the mouse has sweptback inclined-plane (212), to allow user backward and the mouse that is tilted to the right, rather than as preceding State in embodiment (100) and the same forward and to be tilted to the right.

Mouse (100,200) provides more conventional " on table " and grasps shape, but by using two different mode of operations There is provided with smaller mouse (1) identical function, started by redirecting mouse start-up mode sensor (109,209) Second mode.

Touch input operation system typically do not need screen on pointer because user have on the touch surface with The natural hand eye coordination of its finger tip.However, when using a mouse, user typically look at display screen, rather than mouse, This pointer on not display screen to represent relative mouse position in the case of make difficult coordination.Therefore, it will typically calculate Machine is configured to the pointer or other appropriate GUI components on display screen to provide the viewing position of mouse (1) to user Indicate.

Pointer on screen is at least effective in the flrst mode and is shown, and mouse (1) is configured to correspondence Pointer coordinate is provided and arrives computer (2) in the movement of mouse.However, under the second mode, as mode sensor is opened Dynamic, computer (2) will be interpreted as mouse (1,100,200) to provide touch event, and therefore, the pointer on screen is in second mode Under be sightless.In this case, sightless index will be referred to as " finger cursor ", and finger cursor is represented and display screen The imitation of curtain or the finger of touch pad contact.

Mouse (1,100,200) by the position of touch event be defined as from be defined as open second mode point " Begin " position or relative position when computer starting or connection mouse the predetermined starting point that sets, for example, making a reservation for Initial point is generally the center of screen, i.e. coordinate X50%Y50%.Follow-up movement is produced relative to the original position.

Therefore, when mouse is in second mode, touch event is registered, mode sensor is contacted with the of short duration of working surface It is registered as touching touch event, because mouse is of short duration to be switched to second mode, then returnes to first mode.Mode sensor It can keep down against working surface (5) to provide long-press touch event, or can keep down and mobile tactile to provide slip Touch event.Shrink or expansion touch event can be by the way that rotation roller (12) is provided forward or backward in second mode.

The end of slip gesture can be registered as the edge that registered mouse (1) has reached corresponding screen, for example, screen Coordinate within the 10% of border.After the slip gesture terminates, mouse (1,100,200) is configured to registration and restarted Subsequent touch event at position, i.e. current touch event stops, and is restarting to make another touch event at position. This " the resetting " of touch location allows user to avoid having to return to mouse (1,100,200) after slip gesture Its initial position starts another gesture, and on the contrary user can make the continuous shifting that multiple slip gestures are translated into by machine solution It is dynamic.This configuration provide the finger navigation directly perceived that repeatedly brushes against or translate it is very big apart from when be useful, so as to provide one Plant the form of infinite scroll/translation.

Figure 17 shows the computer of the display screen (34) of the part (43a, 43b) with display multi-page file (43) (2).Dashed rectangle (43) represents the file page being initially displayed.

User can start touch by tilting mouse (1,100,200) with start-up mode sensor (18,109,209) Pattern, computer interprets this as the touch event at original position (44) place.The subsequent movement quilt of mouse (1,100,200) to the left Be interpreted as arriving the slip gesture of marginal position (47) to the left, so as to produce the movement of GUI component to the left, i.e. the shelves page (43a) to Move left to show next page file page (43b).Mobile speed can also be detected and be translated into the corresponding mobile speed of GUI component Degree.

When mouse (1) is moved farther leftward as and determines that it more keeps left than marginal position (45), mouse (1,100,200) Computer is transmitted a signal to, shows that the touch event terminates, and has new touch event restarting position (44) place, That is, show to restart/the touch at original position (44) place to computer.The further movement of mouse (1,100,200) to the left The process for allowing user to make continuous moving to the left is repeated, continuous moving to the left is translated into by machine solution repeatedly to be slided to the left It is dynamic.This acts the continuous page that file (43) are shown in continuous translation motion.Therefore, user be not required to make mouse (1, 100,200) circulate from right to left, just as conventional mouse is as touching the situation that screen is used together.

Mouse (1,100,200) is configured to by making two continuous touch events within a predetermined period of time, for example gently Then the event of touching slides touch event, and original position is designated as into screen edge.Then, inferred using the direction of slip gesture Go out original position positioned at which screen edge, so that the slip gesture since that screen edge is interpreted this as, for example, Touch then to left and right, on or below to slide will be interpreted as respectively from right side, left side, bottom or top screen edge Slid inward.Therefore, boundary slip gesture is quickly created using mouse (1,100,200), first will without user Mouse (1) is moved to corresponding screen edge.

Figure 18 shows the gesture that mode sensor (18,109,209) is touched and then slided to the left, and the gesture is by computer (2) it is interpreted as starting in edge " starting " position (46) of screen (34) right-hand side to central slide to end position (47).This Setting bar (48) is set to show the GUI component of " brightness " (49) and " cancellation " (50).

Other " starting " positions can be used according to application or user's configuration.

Mouse (1,100,200) may be additionally configured to imitate various touch by the various combination of button and/or touch event Touch gesture.For example, by starting rear contact sensor (15) in touch mode, it is possible to provide common " pinching scaling " hand Gesture, this makes mouse (1) registration be inputted at a distance of two fingers of pre-determined distance, and then follow-up slip gesture to the left will represent to cause The contraction of amplification, while slip to the right will represent to cause the expansion of diminution.

Mouse (1) on printed circuit board (PCB) (21) including the use of person it is operable with open, close and configuration mode it Between switching mouse (1) tri-state slider switch (29), its mouse is opened respectively, close or allowed configure mouse firmware, For example change or update.
