Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an input system, a peripheral device and a setting method, and more particularly, to an input system, a peripheral device and a setting method for changing a rate of return used by a peripheral device.
Background
In the modern times, the use of computers has been an integral part of most people. Particularly, in the present day that various types of software applications of different types such as electronic games, communities, and networks are developed vigorously, the performance of fast operation of a computer is more important.
For example, in the present computer game, it is often necessary to input the command quickly for the game operation. Wherein the rate of return of the computer peripheral device is an important indicator when operating games and/or programs. The rate of return is the rate of continuously outputting the key code when a certain key of the peripheral device is continuously pressed. For example, when a user continuously presses a certain key of the keyboard device, the keyboard device continuously outputs the code of the key with a return rate until the user stops pressing the certain key. For example, when a user presses a key continuously, the keyboard device will output the key code at a rate of 10 words per second until the pressing is stopped.
Among many games and/or programs, the rate of return from the peripheral devices can have a significant impact on the operation of the game and/or program. For example, in a real-time strategy game, a soldier can be generated by pressing the "a" key of the keyboard device once, and the soldier can be generated at the rate of return of the keyboard device if the "a" key is continuously pressed. At this time, when a keyboard device with a return rate of 10 words/second is used, that is, 10 soldiers are generated per second, and when a keyboard device with a return rate of 30 words/second is used, that is, 30 soldiers are generated per second. For example, in a certain shooting game, a cannonball can be shot by pressing the left key of the mouse device once, and if the left key of the mouse is continuously pressed, the cannonball can be shot at the return rate of the mouse device. In this case, a mouse device with a return rate of 10 times/second is used, i.e., 10 shells are fired per second, and a mouse device with a return rate of 30 times/second is used, i.e., 30 shells are fired per second. It is understood that the rate of return of the peripheral device greatly affects the operation of the game and/or program.
However, the rate of return for the peripheral devices is generally fixed and unchangeable, which also causes a limitation in operating the game and/or program. In the prior art, manufacturers have designed specific peripheral devices, and specific keys are provided on the peripheral devices, so that users can change the rate of return of the peripheral devices by operating the specific keys.
However, when the peripheral device having specific keys is used to change the rate of return, the user must change the position of the hand to operate the specific keys on the peripheral device during the game and/or the operation procedure, which often causes the game or the operation procedure to be interrupted. For example, when a user is playing a stimulating computer game, the left hand operates the game keys on the keyboard device and the right hand operates a mouse device to play the game. At this time, if the user needs to change the rate of return of the keyboard device, the original finger position must be changed to operate the specific keys on the keyboard device. During the intense game, the action may generate the mistake of the game and even cause the interruption of the game. Therefore, there is still much room for improvement in changing the rate of return of peripheral devices.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an input system according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown, the input system 10 includes a first peripheral device 15, a second peripheral device 11 and a host computer 13. The second peripheral device 11 has an input interface 111 and an information prompt module 113. The information prompt module 113 has at least one light emitting assembly 1131.

The user can operate the computer main body 13 by operating the input interface 111 of the second peripheral device 11 (keyboard) and/or performing input using the first peripheral device 15 (mouse).
And when the user wants to adjust the rate of return for use by the second peripheral device 11. The user can operate the adjustment interface 151 of the first peripheral device 15 to make the first peripheral device 15 output an adjustment signal to the host computer 13, and the host computer 13 can transmit the adjustment signal to the second peripheral device 11.

So that the host computer 13 can directly transmit the adjustment signal to the second peripheral device 11 after receiving the adjustment signal output by the first peripheral device 15. The purpose of changing the rate of return for use of the second peripheral device 11 (keyboard) using the first peripheral device 15 (mouse) is thus achieved. The details of the operation will be described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 2 and also to fig. 1, fig. 2 is a functional block diagram of an input system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the input system 10 includes a first peripheral device 15, a second peripheral device 11 and a host computer 13. The second peripheral device 11 has an input interface 111, an information prompt module 113, a processing module 115, and a transmission interface 117. The processing module 115 is coupled to the input interface 111, the information prompt module 113, and the transmission interface 117, respectively. The processing module 115 has a decoding module 1151 and a controller 1153. The information prompt module 113 has at least one light emitting assembly 1131. The transmission interface 117 is coupled to the computer host 13 in a wired or wireless manner.
For convenience of illustration, the first peripheral device 15 has an adjustment interface 151, a transmission module 155 and an encoding module 157, but it is not excluded that the first peripheral device 15 further includes other related circuits. The adjusting interface 151 is coupled to the encoding module 157, and the encoding module 157 is coupled to the transmission module 155. The transmission module 155 is coupled to the host computer 13 in a wired or wireless manner.
The processing module 115 of the second peripheral device 11 may be, for example, a processing circuit, and the processing circuit may include a controller and related circuits. In the embodiment, the processing module 115 is exemplified by the controller 1153 and the decoding module 1151, the decoding module 1151 is, for example, a decoder implemented by software or hardware, and the encoding module 157 is, for example, an encoder implemented by software or hardware, but the invention is not limited thereto.
When the user wants to adjust the rate of return of the use of the second peripheral device 11, the user can operate the adjustment interface 151 of the first peripheral device 15, so that the encoding module 157 encodes the keyboard light control command to generate an adjustment signal according to the keyboard light control command outputted from the host computer 13 to the keyboard device. The encoding module 157 transmits the adjustment signal to the host computer 13 through the transmission module 155 in a wired or wireless manner. Since the adjustment signal is the code of the keyboard light control command, the host computer 13 can directly transmit the adjustment signal to the second peripheral device 11 after receiving the adjustment signal output by the first peripheral device 15.
Next, after the processing module 115 of the second peripheral device 11 receives the adjustment signal through the transmission interface 117 in a wired or wireless manner, the decoding module 1151 decodes the adjustment signal. The controller 1153 changes the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 according to the decoding result of the decoding module 1151, so that the rate of return output from the key signal to the computer host 13 when the input interface 111 is operated is changed according to the adjustment signal, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 when the first peripheral device 15 is operated. For a detailed encoding method of the adjustment signal, please refer to the following example.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of signal encoding according to an embodiment of the input system of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the adjustment signal 1 is a code of "the light signal of the Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key is off, the light signal of the Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key is on, and the light signal of the number Lock (Num Lock) key is on" by default, and the code corresponds to the action of adjusting the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 to 10 words/second by default. Therefore, after the processing module 115 of the second peripheral device 11 receives a coded signal "the light signal for Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) is turned off, the light signal for Caps Lock (Caps Lock) is turned on, and the light signal for number Lock (Num Lock) is turned on", the decoding module 1151 decodes the coded signal, and knows that the action corresponding to the coded signal is to adjust the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 to 10 words/second. Then, the controller 1153 adjusts the reporting rate of the second peripheral device 11 to 10 words/second according to the decoding result of the decoding module 1151, so that the reporting rate of the key signal output to the host computer 13 when the input interface 111 is operated is 10 words/second.
The adjustment signal 2 is a code of "the light signal of the Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key is on, the light signal of the Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key is off, and the light signal of the number Lock (Num Lock) key is on" by default, and the code corresponds to an operation of adjusting the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 to 30 words/second by default. The adjustment signal 3 is a code of "the light signal of the Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key is turned off, the light signal of the Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key is turned on and off three times per second, and the light signal of the number Lock (Num Lock) key is turned off by default, and the code corresponds to an operation of adjusting the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 to 60 words/second by default. The adjustment signal 4 is a code default to "three times per second on/off of the indicator light of the Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key, off of the indicator light of the Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key, and off of the indicator light of the number Lock (Num Lock) key", and the code default corresponds to an action of adjusting the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 to 120 words/second.
The adjustment signal coding shown in fig. 3 is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In practical applications, the expression of the adjustment signal coding of the present invention may be any possible permutation and combination of the Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key, Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key, or number Lock (Num Lock) key of the keyboard to indicate that the light signal is turned on/off.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the first peripheral device 15 is a mouse. The adjustment interface 151 may be implemented with any possible combination of left, right, and/or jog wheel keys of the first peripheral device 15. For example, pressing the left mouse button while dialing the wheel button up outputs the adjustment signal 1, and pressing the left mouse button while dialing the wheel button down outputs the adjustment signal 2, etc., which should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. The adjustment interface 151 may also be a specific key on the first peripheral device 15, such as a left key, a right key and a separate key besides a wheel key of the mouse, which should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

For example, the user may output the adjustment signal 1 after operating the control key once, output the adjustment signal 2 after operating the control key again, and so on. Namely, the purpose of outputting different adjusting signals is realized by a single control key.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmission interface 117 and the transmission module 155 may be a wireless transmission circuit such as bluetooth, WIFI, NFC, or ZigBee, or may be a wired transmission circuit such as USB or PS/2, for example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the encoding module 157 has an encoding table (not shown). The encoding table may be implemented by a memory, a storage device or a firmware, and the invention is not limited thereto. Wherein, the coding table can store the coding content of the adjusting signal. The encoding module 157 generates the adjustment signal according to the encoding table.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the decoding module 1151 has a decoding table (not shown). The decoding table may be implemented by a memory, a storage device or a firmware, and the invention is not limited thereto. Wherein, the coding table may have the coding content of the adjustment signal. The decoding module 1151 decodes the adjustment signal according to the decoding table.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the first peripheral device 15 and the second peripheral device 11 are a mouse, a keyboard or a game controller, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the first peripheral device 15 and the second peripheral device 11 are a mouse, a keyboard or a game controller, and the types of the devices of the first peripheral device 15 and the second peripheral device 11 are different from each other.
In an embodiment of the invention, the processing module 115 of the second peripheral device 11 increases or decreases the rate of return when receiving the adjustment signal.
In an embodiment of the invention, after receiving the adjustment signal, the processing module 115 of the second peripheral device 11 adjusts the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 to be the same as the rate of return used by the first peripheral device 15.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an input system according to another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 5 is a schematic functional block diagram of an input system according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the input system 40 includes a first peripheral device 15, a second peripheral device 11, a computer host 13 and a mouse pad 41. The second peripheral device 11 has an input interface 111, an information prompt module 113, a processing module 115, and a transmission interface 117. The processing module 115 is coupled to the input interface 111, the information prompt module 113, and the transmission interface 117, respectively. The processing module 115 has a decoding module 1151 and a controller 1153. The information prompt module 113 has at least one light emitting assembly 1131. The transmission interface 117 is coupled to the computer host 13 in a wired or wireless manner.
For convenience of illustration, the first peripheral device 15 has an adjustment interface 151, an encoding unit 153, a transmission module 155 and an encoding module 157, but it is not excluded that the first peripheral device 15 further includes other related circuits. The adjusting interface 151 is coupled to the encoding module 157, the encoding module 157 is coupled to the transmission module 155, and the encoding unit 153 is coupled to the transmission module 155. The transmission module 155 is coupled to the host computer 13 in a wired or wireless manner.

The light emitting circuit 411 is coupled to the control circuit 413, the mouse board 41 and the computer host 13 in a wired or wireless manner.
In the present embodiment, the first peripheral device 15 is exemplified by a mouse device. The present embodiment is different from the embodiments shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2 in that: the input system 40 of the present embodiment further has a mouse pad 41. When the first peripheral device 15 (mouse) moves, the encoding unit 153 encodes the keyboard light signal control command outputted from the host computer 13 to the keyboard to generate a brightness control signal, wherein the brightness control signal includes the movement information of the displacement of the first peripheral device 15.
The expression mode of the brightness control signal can be any possible permutation and combination of the indication lamp number on/off of a Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key, a Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key or a number Lock (Num Lock) key of the keyboard.
The first peripheral device 15 transmits the brightness control signal to the computer main body 13. Since the brightness control signal is the code of the keyboard light control command, the computer host 13 can directly transmit to the mouse board 41 after receiving the brightness control signal output by the first peripheral device 15. The control circuit 413 of the mouse board 41 controls the light emitting circuit 411 to generate a lighting change relatively with the movement change of the first peripheral device 15 according to the brightness control signal.

When x isiX or yiWhen y, the control circuit 413 activates the position coordinate (x)i,yi) When x is a light emitting elementiNot equal to x and yiWhen not equal to y, the control circuit 413 turns off the position coordinate (x)i,yi) The light emitting element of (1). That is, two rows of light emitting elements on the upper and lower sides of the mouse board 41 respectively activate the light emitting element corresponding to the coordinate value x of the mouse position. The two rows of light emitting elements on the left and right sides of the mouse board 41 respectively activate the light emitting element corresponding to the coordinate value y of the mouse position. That is, the control circuit 413 activates the light emitting elements corresponding to the first peripheral device 15 among the light emitting elements around the mouse board 41. Therefore, when the user operates the first peripheral device 15 on the mouse board 41, the user can quickly know the relative position of the mouse on the mouse board 41 by observing the light emitting components around the mouse board 41.

The encoding module 157 transmits the adjustment signal to the host computer 13 through the transmission module 155 in a wired or wireless manner.
The expression mode of the adjustment signal code can be any possible permutation and combination of the indication lamp number on/off of a Scroll Lock (Scroll Lock) key, a Caps Lock (Caps Lock) key or a number Lock (Num Lock) key of the keyboard.
In step S605, since the adjustment signal is the code of the key signal control command, the host computer 13 can directly transmit the adjustment signal to the second peripheral device 11 after receiving the adjustment signal output by the first peripheral device 15.
Next, in step S607, after the processing module 115 of the second peripheral device 11 receives the adjustment signal through the transmission interface 117 in a wired or wireless manner, the decoding module 1151 decodes the adjustment signal. The controller 1153 adjusts the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 according to the decoding result of the decoding module 1151, so that the rate of return of the key signal output to the computer host 13 when the input interface 111 is operated is changed corresponding to the adjustment signal, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the rate of return used by the second peripheral device 11 when the first peripheral device 15 is operated.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment signal is used to make the first peripheral device 15 and the second peripheral device 11 have the same rate of return respectively.
In an embodiment of the invention, the adjustment signal enables the rate of return of the second peripheral device to be higher or lower than the rate of return of the first peripheral device.
Referring to fig. 7 and also to fig. 5, fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a setting method of an input system according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the first peripheral device 15 is exemplified by a mouse. As shown in step S701, when the first peripheral device 15 moves, the encoding unit 153 encodes the keyboard light control command outputted by the host computer 13 to the keyboard to generate a brightness control signal, wherein the brightness control signal includes the movement information of the first peripheral device 15.
Next, in step S703, the first peripheral device 15 transmits the brightness control signal to the host computer 13. Since the brightness control signal is the code of the keyboard light control command, the computer host 13 can directly transmit to the mouse board 41 after receiving the brightness control signal output by the first peripheral device 15.
Next, in step S705, the control circuit 413 of the mouse board 41 controls the light emitting circuit 411 to generate a lighting change relatively according to the movement change of the first peripheral device 15 according to the brightness control signal.
Therefore, through the technology carried by the disclosure, the input system, the peripheral device and the setting method provided by the invention can generate an adjusting signal by encoding according to the keyboard lamp signal control command which is output to the keyboard by the computer host, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the return rate of another peripheral device by using one peripheral device. The user can quickly and conveniently adjust the return rate of the peripheral device, and the efficiency of operating the game and/or the program is improved.
