With the development of portable terminals, people have made higher and higher requirements on the portability of peripheral devices of operation terminals, wherein the most common peripheral devices are a keyboard and a mouse, and the most portable keyboard at present is a film rollable keyboard and a projection keyboard, but for the mouse, although manufacturers are also promoting light and thin mice, the portability is still insufficient. Particularly, after the 5G era comes, the gradual popularization of cloud computers enables mobile phones and intelligent glasses to be used as computers slowly, but if a traditional mouse is carried when the mobile phones or the intelligent glasses are used for mobile office, a very smooth picture is obtained, and therefore a more miniature and portable peripheral capable of replacing the traditional mouse is urgently needed.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described and illustrated in further detail below with reference to the following examples of the invention and the accompanying drawings, wherein the examples are described as only a part of the examples of the invention, and not as all examples. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the ring-type mouse of the present invention is operated by a wearing finger 1 and an adjacent finger 2, preferably, the wearing finger 1 is a right index finger, and the adjacent finger 2 is a right middle finger. Of course, the wearing finger 1 and the adjacent finger 2 may be any other two adjacent fingers, such as a left index finger and a left middle finger, or a right middle finger and a right ring finger.

As shown in fig. 1-5, in order to implement a two-finger operation with one finger wearing, the ring-type mouse further includes a first contact 5, the first contact 5 is located in a gap between the wearing finger 1 and the adjacent finger 2 in an operating state of the ring-type mouse, when the wearing finger 1 is closed to the adjacent finger 2, the first contact 5 is in a touched state, and when the wearing finger 1 is separated from the adjacent finger 2, the first contact 5 is in an untouched state. Obviously, two different state signals of a touched state and a non-touched state can be simply and conveniently input to the ring type mouse by the first contact 5, and the two different state signals correspond to a double-finger operation and a single-finger operation respectively, so that more operation gestures can be defined under the condition that the ring type mouse is worn by a single finger, and more mouse operation instructions can be realized. Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of the ring-type mouse in an operating state, in which the first contact 5 is located in a gap between the wearing finger 1 and the adjacent finger 2. Considering that the skin of the adjacent finger 2 is touched with the first contact 5 in the state that the wearing finger 1 is closed with the adjacent finger 2, if the touch state is to be sensed quickly and accurately, the first contact 5 is preferably a capacitive touch switch.

In addition to the first contact 5, the present invention needs to implement eight general operation instructions of the conventional mouse, and also requires that the ring-type mouse has a module for detecting and determining click operation and displacement operation, so the ring-type mouse should further include a displacement click detection unit.

The displacement detection is to detect the effective working displacement of the ring-type mouse by adopting the displacement click detection unit; the click operation detection is to adopt the displacement click detection unit to detect and judge whether the click operation belongs to one of the single effective click state, the two effective click states and the dragging waiting state.

Preferably, the displacement click detection unit is an optical positioning sensor 4, the position relationship between the first contact 5 and the optical positioning sensor 4 is that, in the working state of the ring-type mouse, the first contact 5 is located in a gap between two operating fingers, at this time, the opening of the optical positioning sensor 4 faces downwards,

the displacement detection method is that whether the distance between the optical positioning sensor 4 and the working surface of the mouse is smaller than or equal to the silent distance set in the optical positioning sensor 4 is detected, if the distance is smaller than or equal to the silent distance, the relative displacement between the optical positioning sensor 4 and the working surface of the mouse detected by the optical positioning sensor 4 is regarded as effective displacement input, otherwise, the relative displacement is regarded as invalid displacement input, and the working surface of the mouse can be the surface of any opaque object with certain roughness; the silent distance is a distance which can reflect a movement instruction after the mouse is lifted, the maximum upper limit of the distance is determined by the performance parameters of the optical positioning sensor 4, and the value of the silent distance can be modified and adjusted by a driving program of the optical positioning sensor 4 within the maximum upper limit;

according to the principle that the optical positioning sensor 4 can sense the silent distance, the click operation is detected by detecting the distance change between the optical positioning sensor 4 and the working surface of the mouse,

within a first time threshold range which is less than or equal to a set value, if the distance completely changes from a value which is greater than a first distance threshold value to a value which is less than or equal to the first distance threshold value and then to a value which is greater than the first distance threshold value, judging that one effective click occurs; the distance change of the three stages actually corresponds to a process of lifting, down clicking and lifting the finger, namely corresponds to the operation logic of single clicking;

within a second time threshold range which is smaller than or equal to the set time threshold range, if the distance completely changes from being larger than the first distance threshold to being smaller than or equal to the first distance threshold, then to being larger than the first distance threshold, then to being smaller than or equal to the first distance threshold, and then to being larger than the first distance threshold in five stages, judging that two effective continuous clicks occur; the distance change of the five stages actually corresponds to a process of lifting the finger, clicking downwards, lifting again, then clicking downwards again and lifting again, namely the operation logic corresponding to two continuous clicks;

within a third time threshold range which is smaller than or equal to the set time threshold range, if the distance completely changes from being larger than the first distance threshold to being smaller than or equal to the first distance threshold, then to being larger than the first distance threshold, and then to being smaller than or equal to the first distance threshold, and then the time which is continuously kept smaller than or equal to the first distance threshold exceeds a fourth time threshold, the current operation is judged to be in a dragging waiting state; the distance change process actually corresponds to the operation logic of the finger lifting, downward clicking, lifting again, then downward clicking again, and then staying in the process of preparing dragging, namely continuously clicking twice, and after the last click, the finger does not leave the working surface of the mouse, namely the waiting state before dragging;

the method for detecting the clicking operation by utilizing the distance change between the optical positioning sensor 4 and the mouse working surface has requirements on the use mode of the ring-type mouse, namely the open end of the optical positioning sensor 4 is required to be contacted with the mouse working surface or to be close to the mouse working surface as much as possible when the finger is clicked downwards, if the finger is clicked under the bending state, the ring-type mouse is required to be worn on the finger joint near the fingertip, but if the ring-type mouse is worn on the finger joint close to the palm, the finger 1 is required to be worn by straightening when the finger is clicked, so that the wearing finger 1 is lifted upwards by a certain angle around the joint between the finger 1 and the palm and then is clicked;

the first time threshold to the fourth time threshold can be set according to actual needs, and corresponding time thresholds used in the click operation can be generally judged on the traditional notebook touch pad;

preferably, the first distance threshold is equal to a silent distance set in the optical positioning sensor 4;

because the ring-type mouse is worn on a finger and has a small size, the internal space of the ring-type mouse is very limited, and certain requirements are made on the size and the packaging mode of internal components. Preferably, the model of the optical positioning sensor 4 is Agilent ADNS-2610 or ADNS-2620, and the packaging size of the two types of optical positioning sensors is small and can meet the internal space requirement of the ring type mouse.

As shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5, preferably, a proximity sensor 11 may be further used to detect a click operation, the proximity sensor 11 is located on the same surface as the open end of the optical pointing sensor 4 and is disposed near the optical pointing sensor 4, when the distance between the surface on which the optical pointing sensor 4 is located and the mouse working surface is greater than a second distance threshold, the output result of the proximity sensor 11 is in a non-proximity state, when the distance is less than or equal to the second distance threshold, the output result of the proximity sensor 11 is in a proximity state, and when the distance is changed from less than or equal to the second distance threshold to greater than the second distance threshold, the output result of the proximity sensor 11 is changed back to the non-proximity state. The approach of detecting a click operation using the proximity sensor 11 is,

within a first time threshold range which is less than or equal to a set value, if the output result of the proximity sensor 11 completely changes from a non-proximity state to a proximity state and then to a non-proximity state, determining that a valid click occurs;

within a second time threshold range which is less than or equal to the set value, if the output result of the proximity sensor 11 completely changes from a non-proximity state to a proximity state, then to a non-proximity state, then to a proximity state, and then to a non-proximity state, then two effective continuous clicks are determined to occur;

within a third time threshold range which is less than or equal to the set time threshold range, if the output result of the proximity sensor 11 completely changes from a non-proximity state to a proximity state, then to a non-proximity state, then to a proximity state, and then the time for continuously keeping the proximity state exceeds a fourth time threshold, the current operation is judged to be a dragging waiting state;

preferably, the proximity sensor 11 is an infrared distance sensor;

preferably, the proximity sensor 11 is a TOF distance sensor;

preferably, the proximity sensor 11 is a structured light distance sensor;

of course, no matter which sensor is selected, the model with the small packaging size is selected as far as possible according to the size of the ring-type mouse and the internal space of the ring-type mouse. Taking an infrared distance sensor as an example, the package size of the TMD2635 infrared distance sensor released by AMS EMIES semiconductor company is only 1 cubic millimeter, which can meet the requirements of a ring type mouse;

the second distance threshold is set according to the performance, characteristics and actual needs of the proximity sensor 11, and preferably, the second distance threshold is equal to the first distance threshold.

Preferably, a distance switch may be further used to implement the click operation detection, the distance switch and the open end of the optical positioning sensor 4 are located on the same surface and are disposed near the optical positioning sensor 4, when the distance between the surface where the optical positioning sensor 4 is located and the mouse working surface is greater than a third distance threshold, the open/close state of the distance switch is maintained in an initial state, when the distance is less than or equal to the third distance threshold, the open/close state of the distance switch is changed, which is called as the open/close state of the changed distance switch being a trigger state, and when the distance is less than or equal to the third distance threshold and is greater than the third distance threshold, the open/close state of the distance switch returns from the trigger state to the initial state. The method for detecting the click operation using the distance switch is,

within a first time threshold range which is less than or equal to a set value, if the on-off state of the distance switch completely changes from an initial state, a trigger state and the initial state, judging that one effective click occurs;

within a second time threshold range which is less than or equal to the setting range, if the on-off state of the distance switch completely changes from the initial state, the triggering state, the initial state, the triggering state and the initial state, two effective continuous clicks are determined to occur;

within the range of less than or equal to the set third time threshold, if the on-off state of the distance switch completely changes from the initial state, the trigger state, the initial state and the trigger state, and the time for continuously keeping the trigger state exceeds the fourth time threshold, the current operation is judged to be the dragging waiting state;

preferably, the distance switch is a spring-type reboundable switch, the spring-type reboundable switch is triggered when the distance switch is pressed to a certain degree and is changed into a triggered state from an initial state, and the spring-type reboundable switch rebounds when the distance switch is lifted to a certain degree, the triggered state is ended, and the distance switch returns to the initial state from the triggered state. The third distance threshold is determined by the mechanical structure and the design size of the distance switch, and preferably, the third distance threshold, the second distance threshold and the first distance threshold are equal to each other.

Preferably, a sound receiving microphone can be adopted for realizing the click operation detection, the sound receiving microphone is connected with the processor, and a sound receiving port of the sound receiving microphone is positioned on the surface of the ring shell 3. The sound is generated due to the collision contact of the finger and the working surface of the mouse during the click operation, so that a sound receiving microphone can be used for collecting a specific sound signal generated by the collision contact, and the click operation is assisted and recognized.

Preferably, the displacement click detection unit is an acceleration sensor 6, the acceleration sensor 6 is located in the ring-type mouse,

the displacement detection method comprises the steps of carrying out secondary integration on an acceleration signal acquired by the acceleration sensor 6 to obtain distance information and direction information of displacement;

the click operation detection method comprises the steps that the acceleration sensor 6 is used for detecting the acceleration change of the ring-type mouse, and if a second acceleration change characteristic is detected after a first acceleration change characteristic is detected within a first time threshold range which is less than or equal to a set first time threshold range, a valid click is judged to occur; within a second time threshold range which is less than or equal to the set time threshold range, if the four characteristics of the first acceleration change characteristic, the second acceleration change characteristic, the first acceleration change characteristic and the second acceleration change characteristic are continuously detected in sequence, judging that two times of effective continuous clicks occur; and in a third time threshold range which is less than or equal to the set third time threshold range, if the three characteristics of the first acceleration change characteristic, the second acceleration change characteristic and the first acceleration change characteristic are continuously detected in sequence, and the second acceleration change characteristic is not detected after the waiting time exceeds a fourth time threshold, the current operation is judged to be in a dragging waiting state. The first acceleration change characteristic is that the speed is suddenly reduced when a finger collides with the working surface of the mouse when clicking, and a very obvious acceleration sudden change characteristic exists at the moment, and is defined as the first acceleration change characteristic in the invention; the second acceleration change characteristic is the acceleration change when the hand is lifted up after the click occurs and is defined as a second acceleration sudden change characteristic. It should be noted that, if the acceleration change feature is used to detect the click operation, the accuracy of detection and identification can be improved only by performing machine learning on a large amount of acceleration change waveform data generated when people perform the click operation.
