The specific operation mode and processing mode flow is shown in fig. 5: firstly, the processing module judges whether the first shell is accommodated in the expansion device according to the detection signal through step 101, and then judges, when the first shell is not accommodated in the expansion device, the input device is in the first working mode, step 102 and step 103 are sequentially performed, otherwise, when the first shell is accommodated in the expansion device, the input device is in the second working mode, step 104 and step 105 are sequentially performed.
The arrangement of the processing module 23 and the arrangement of the components in the positioning detection module 2 are for realizing the normal operation of the input device 10 composed of the first input detection module 1, the positioning detection module 2, the first transmission module 3 and the first housing 4 under different conditions. Namely the following two operating conditions:
one is as follows: the first shell is provided with a first area; in a first working mode, the detection signal emitted by the emitting component is emitted out of the first shell from the first region of the first shell; the acquisition assembly acquires the feedback signal formed by the detection signal reflecting to penetrate through the first area, and the processing assembly processes the feedback signal in a first mode to obtain a second input signal.
Specifically, the first operating mode is a case where the first housing is not accommodated in the expansion device, at this time, the input device is used as an independent input device, the detection signal sent by the positioning detection module directly passes through the first area of the first housing and is emitted out of the first housing, then the detection signal is reflected and enters the first housing again through the first area to form a feedback signal, and at this time, the acquisition component can acquire the feedback signal and serve as a second input signal, that is, a position and a motion trajectory signal of the input device. The input device can correspond to an optical mouse, and an optical position detection module of the mouse sends an optical signal to the outside of a shell at the bottom of the mouse through an optical component; and then the optical signal enters the mouse shell from the bottom of the mouse through reflection to form a signal with the function of the feedback signal, the signal is collected through an optical sensor in the mouse, and finally the position information and the motion track information of the mouse are obtained through the processing of the optical sensor.
The second step is as follows: the expansion device includes: a second housing capable of accommodating the first housing, the second housing being provided with a second region corresponding to the first region of the first housing; in a second working mode, the first shell is accommodated in the second shell, and the detection signal emitted by the emitting component sequentially exits the input device from the first area and the second area; the acquisition component acquires the feedback signals which are formed by the detection signals reflected to sequentially pass through the second area and the first area, and the processing component processes the feedback signals to obtain second input signals.
Specifically, the second operating mode is a condition that the first housing is accommodated in the expansion device, that is, the first housing is accommodated in the second housing, at this time, the input device and the expansion device jointly form the input device, the detection signal sent by the positioning detection module needs to firstly pass through the first region of the first housing and then pass through the second region of the second housing, and can be emitted out of the input device, the feedback signal needs to be formed by the detection signal sequentially passing through the second region and the first region in a reflection manner, the feedback signal at this time is a signal formed by the detection signal passing through the two regions, so that the characteristic of the feedback signal has changed to a certain extent, and the processing assembly needs to process the second input signal in a second manner. Correspondingly, the input device can be a mouse, the expansion device can be an expansion base capable of accommodating the mouse, the base is provided with an expanded multimedia key, the mouse is accommodated in the expansion device at the moment, the distance from detection light rays emitted by the optical position detection module to the bottom surface of the mouse is changed, namely, the distance is increased by the thickness of the bottom of the second shell of the expansion device, the detection light rays sequentially enter the mouse shell through the expansion device and the bottom shell of the mouse, feedback signals formed by the detection light rays cannot be read by an optical sensor of the mouse, signals read by the optical sensor can be formed only through function conversion, and namely, the second input signals containing mouse position information or motion track information are included.
In order to realize that the input device normally outputs the second input signal in the first operating mode and the second operating mode, the transmitting component may be caused to transmit the detection signal at a first power in the first operating mode; causing the transmission component to transmit a detection signal at a second power greater than the first power in the second operating mode; therefore, in the second working mode, the signal emitted by the emitting component can smoothly pass through the first area of the first shell and the second area of the second shell, and is reflected to enter the collecting component of the input device through the second area and the first area in sequence. For example, when the input device is a mouse and the expansion device is an expansion base, the power of the light-emitting component in the optical position detection module of the mouse is increased, so that the light signal emitted by the light-emitting component can smoothly pass through the transparent area or opening of the bottom shell of the mouse and the transparent area or opening of the bottom shell of the expansion base, sequentially pass through the transparent area or opening of the bottom shell of the expansion base and the transparent area or opening of the bottom shell of the mouse through reflection, and finally enter the mouse shell to be collected by the optical sensor.
Further, in order to realize the normal output of the second input signal by the input device in the first operating mode and the second operating mode, the transmitting component may be caused to transmit the detection signal in the first orientation in the first operating mode; causing the transmission assembly to transmit a detection signal in a second orientation in the second mode of operation; wherein the second orientation has a greater angle with the bearing surface.
Specifically, when the input device is a mouse and the expansion device can be an expansion base, the optical position detection module of the mouse can be corresponding to the emission component, the mouse is accommodated in the expansion base in the second working mode, and the distance from the lens in the optical position detection module of the mouse to the desktop is changed when the mouse is used, so that the angle of the emission detection signal of the optical position detection module of the mouse can be adjusted, namely the angle of the emission signal light of the optical position detection module is adjusted, for example, the included angle between the signal light emitted by the optical position detection module and the desktop is larger than the included angle between the signal light and the desktop when the mouse is not combined with the expansion base, the detection signal sequentially passes through the bottom of the mouse and the bottom of the expansion base and then sequentially passes through the bottom of the expansion base and the bottom of the mouse to enter the interior of the mouse to obtain a feedback signal, and can accurately enter the optical sensor in the, namely, although the outgoing and feedback paths of the detection signal are changed, the detection signal can be accurately emitted into the acquisition assembly by adjusting the emission angle of the detection signal. The scheme for realizing different changes of the emission angle of the detection signal can be that the emission assembly is arranged on a driving device, and the driving device drives the emission assembly to change the angle for emitting the detection signal.
Further, in the first operating mode, the processing component processes the feedback signal in a first manner; the processing component processes the feedback signal in a second manner different from the first manner in the second mode of operation.
Specifically, the first operating mode is a mode in which the input device operates independently, for example, a mouse, a transmitting component of the mouse is composed of a light emitting component and a lens, a collecting component of the mouse is composed of an optical sensor and a lens, and when the position information and the motion track information are input, that is, a second input signal is sent, a signal fed back by light emitted by the light emitting component in the mouse is collected by the optical sensor, and the position information and the motion track information of the mouse are calculated by a prestored algorithm according to the signal fed back by the light; when the mouse is used on a desktop to work, the distance between the emitting component of the mouse and the desktop is 2.4mm, and under the general situation of the distance, light rays emitted by the light emitting component in the emitting component of the mouse can be reflected by the desktop to enter the mouse and become feedback signals which can be directly read by the optical sensor in the collecting component. The second working mode is a mode combining the input device and the expansion device, for example, the mouse is accommodated in an accommodating groove of the expansion base, at the moment, the distance between a light emitting component in an emitting component of the mouse and the outer surface of a shell at the bottom of the expansion base is 2.4mm greater than the distance between the mouse emitting component and a desktop, at the moment, the distance can be 3.4mm, at the moment, light is reflected into the mouse, a processing component, namely an optical sensor can identify light, but mouse position data or motion track data collected by the light cannot be used, because the optical sensor cannot sense feedback of a lens at the moment, the mouse cannot be normally used in the moving process, so that the mouse can be used as error information to be filtered, at the moment, data fed back by the light needs to be processed in a second mode to enable the processing component to identify, and the mode is that the position of the light emitted by the light emitting component at the moment is virtually positioned at a position which can be After that, calculation can be carried out according to the original algorithm, and further the position information or the motion track information of the expanded mouse, namely the input equipment, is obtained.
When the first method processes the feedback signal, the processing component directly obtains the position information of the feedback signal through the feedback signal, and the position information of the feedback signal is used as information contained in a second input signal, and the position information of the feedback signal includes: first direction position information X, second direction position information Y; when the feedback signal is processed in the second mode, the processing component enables the position information directly obtained through the feedback signal to pass through a function formula
Figure BDA0001616986030000141
Converting to obtain information contained in the second input signal; a is the distance between the emitting assembly and the first area, and b is the distance between the emitting assembly and the second area. For example, when the input device is a mouse and the expansion device is an expansion base for accommodating the mouse, in the second operation mode, as shown in fig. 6, the position of the light beam emitted from the light emitting component in the mouse emitting assembly is located between P and Q in the drawing, but the optical sensor can only perform operation processing on the light beam reflected from the position between M and N to obtain the position information or the motion track information, so that the position information of the light beam needs to be virtualized to the positions of M and N by the above formula, where a is 2.4 and b is 3.4, so the formula is
Figure BDA0001616986030000142
And then the actual displacement of the light is converted into the position with the height of 2.4mm from the desktop of the mouse emitting component in a virtual mode through the formula, so that the optical sensor in the mouse can calculate the position information contained in the virtually processed light, the position information or the motion track information of the whole input device after the mouse and the expansion base are combined is further obtained, and the position information or the motion track information can be transmitted to the processing device as second input information.
Furthermore, in the first working mode, the first direction position information X and the second direction position information Y of the input device detected twice in the first working mode are respectively compared, so that the motion track information of the input device can be obtained; and continuously comparing the first direction position information X and the second direction position information Y of the input device detected twice in a neighboring way respectively to obtain the continuous motion track information of the input device, and further transmitting the information to the processing equipment through a second input signal to realize the input of the motion track information of the input device. In a second working mode, the adjacent converted position information X 'and the position information Y' are compared respectively to obtain the motion track information of the input equipment formed by combining the input device and the expansion device; and continuously comparing the position information X 'and the position information Y' which are detected and converted twice, so as to obtain the continuous motion track information of the input equipment, and further transmitting the motion track information of the input equipment to the processing equipment through a second input signal, so as to realize the input of the motion track information of the input equipment.
Example two
As shown in fig. 7, an input method applied to the input device in the first embodiment includes:
201. acquiring a first input signal and a second input signal;
specifically, the first input signal may be a signal for implementing input of a confirmation command, a cancel command, a selection command, verification information, digital graphic information, and the like, for example, the first signal may be information or a control instruction issued by a mouse button or a mouse touch pad; the second input signal may contain motion trace information or position information for realizing the movement of a pointer or cursor of the input device in each functional area of the processing device, for example, position information or mouse motion trace information output by the mouse optical position detection module. The first input signal and the second input signal may be obtained directly by a processor or a processing chip in the input device, or may be obtained by transmitting each of the first input signal and the second input signal to the processor of the input device.
202. Passing the first input signal and/or the second input signal into a processing device.
Specifically, the first input signal and the second input signal may be present singly, that is, only the first input signal or the second input signal is transmitted to the processing device, and the first input signal and the second input signal may also be present simultaneously, that is, both signals are transmitted to the processing device simultaneously. For example, when the input device is a mouse, a confirmation command, a cancel command, a selection command, verification information, digital graphic information, and the like generated when the mouse is operated may be transmitted to the processing device as the first input signal when the mouse is moved; when the mouse moves, the position information and the motion track information of the mouse are used as second input signals and transmitted into the processing equipment; or when the mouse is operated to simultaneously generate the first input signal and the second input signal, the two signals are simultaneously output to the processing equipment, and further, the information and the command of the processing equipment are input.
As shown in fig. 8, further, another input method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:
301. and judging whether the input equipment is in a first working mode or a second working mode, and switching between the first working mode and the second working mode.
Specifically, since the present application is a control method for an input device provided in the first embodiment, it can be seen from the above that the input device itself can be used as an input device, and the input device and the expansion device are combined to form an input device with expanded performance, that is, the input device has two working modes during working, the first working mode is a mode during which the input device works alone, such as a normal working mode of a mouse, and the second working mode is a working mode after the input device and the expansion device are combined, such as a base with an expansion function is arranged at the bottom of the mouse, so that in order to ensure the normal working of the input device, the working mode of the input device needs to be determined, and the switching according to the two working modes of the input device is performed, specifically to realize the above-mentioned working mode switching, the method can be realized through the cooperation of software and hardware, and the details are not described herein.
302. A first input signal is acquired.
303. Processing in a first mode under a first working mode to obtain a second input signal; or, in the second working mode, the second mode is adopted to process and obtain the second input signal.
Specifically, corresponding to the input device in the first embodiment, in the first working mode, the input device is only composed of the input device composed of the first input detection module, the positioning detection module, the first transmission module, and the first housing, and at this time, the first input signal of the input device, that is, the confirmation command, the cancel command, the selection command, the verification information, the digital graphic information, and the like output by the first input detection module of the input device, can be directly input to the processing device; the second input signal is a signal containing motion track information or position information, which can be obtained by using the original function of the input device, for example, the mouse can obtain the second input signal through an optical position detection module arranged on the mouse. After the input device is combined with the expansion device, the input equipment is in a second working mode, and a first input signal of the input device can be directly used; however, when the detection signal sent by the positioning detection module of the input device forms the feedback signal, the path that the detection signal passes through changes compared with the path before the input device is not combined with the expansion device, so that the feedback signal obtained by the detection signal needs to be processed by the second method to be used as the second input signal.
304. Passing the first input signal and/or the second input signal into a processing device.
Specifically, the transmission manner of the first input signal and the second input signal in the processing device may be performed with reference to step 202, and details are not described here.
Through the above description of the embodiments, those skilled in the art will clearly understand that the present application can be implemented by software plus necessary general hardware, and certainly, the present application can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases, the former is a better implementation. Based on such understanding, the technical solutions of the present application may be substantially implemented or a part of the technical solutions contributing to the prior art may be embodied in the form of a software product, where the computer software product is stored in a readable storage medium, such as a floppy disk, a hard disk, or an optical disk of a computer, and includes several instructions for enabling a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, or a network device) to execute the methods described in the embodiments of the present application.
