Description

The multiple point touching computer mouse that a kind of changeable both of which in length and breadth is used

Technical field

The present invention relates to the mouse that a kind of adjustable operation posture is used, the touch-control of multiple point touching inductor is based especially on Mouse.

The mouse that can be used in response to the parameter that user inputs with deflection angle, is especially using existing plane position For realization, " in non-primary, just all around posture is correctly reflecting operator's hand just all around to mouse in the case of displacement sensor Solution and algorithm used in the movement in direction ".Namely the physics positive direction of mouse and the positive direction of user misfit When, mouse matches the positive direction that user feels by software algorithm.

Background technology

Mouse is a kind of widely used important computer input unit, 2009, American apple company, based on existing The capacitive sensing multiple spot recognition principle applied on mobile phone screen be proposed it is a it is entitled " Magic Mouse " product, this touch Controlled mouse, has broken the mouse theory created by Douglas doctors Engelbart, the smooth neither one of whole mouse surface In button, numerous use functions, except left button/right button function, other operations fully rely on user's finger in mouse surface stroke Complete, the function representated by the gesture of different stroke gestures and correspondence output setting can be recognized, before being brought to user The mode of operation not having changes.

It is hidden using symmetrical formula shape-designing using magic mouse to be of moderate size the multi-touch mouse of representative more Single physical button of Tibetan, rear arch is relatively low, can't provide support to palm when in use, simultaneously as it is contact control mouse, meaning Taste, which to contact with the induction region of mouse, will trigger operation signal, so such mouse is when in use, user is mainly responsible for behaviour The forefinger middle finger of work needs vacantly to be unable to type discharge above mouse and put on mouse, but mobile mouse also need to thumb with The third finger, the little finger on opposite hold mouse, so being easier to cause hand fatigue.

At the same time, using the hand-written panel products of Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad multi-point touch of same principle but in people It is popular in body engineering science, used by user's reflection comfortable, powerful.Magic Trackpad are a broader horizontal strokes Rectangular product, using the touch-control surface of large area, ergonomic designs depart from a short mouse and put down more like one Whole desktop, while it abandons optical alignment module, can no longer lean on driven equipment to provide the driving of screen cursor in itself Ability from touch-control part, it is necessary to share by the sliding trace of finger/stylus generation to provide the driving function of screen cursor.

The content of the invention

The present invention provides the multiple point touching mouse that a kind of changeable both of which in length and breadth is used, and multiple spot is touched with improving user The operating experience of controlled mouse, provides the user under approximate same cost and more operates free, more preferable ergonomics Experience.

The present invention solves the scheme that is used of this problem：A kind of multi-touch mouse, including a responsible collection mouse The in-plane displancement sensor of the data message moved relative to sample plane, multipoint touch sensor, a data processing Module and at least one physical button, it is characterized in that, also comprising a mode of operation setup module, the setup module can be same The setting in-plane displancement sensor and the directional reference of multipoint touch sensor of step, allow after the mouse is rotated by 90 ° The still normal work by use.

So, by changing the direction of the XY coordinate values exported to host computer, Genius mouse is allow to remain to just when horizontal Often using the motion track tracking function of mouse；Change the coordinate basis of touch-control identification chip simultaneously, make still to have when mouse is horizontal Correctly judgement all around.

Some are used for the microcontroller chip of mouse or the optical sensor chip for carrying microcontroller of SoC forms is carried The function of setting sensor orientation has been supplied, the sensing (directional reference) of sensor can be allowed to realize with 90 degree of rotations for multiple, But this rotation is available to the mouse producer, in order that can be with the position and direction of more flexible arrangement chip mount, letter Change the circuit structure of mouse or adapt to narrow limited space in mouse, this rotation is completed in production, once setting It is fixed up, is still a fixed constant direction into consumer's hand, consumer can only uses this direction and can not As needed using the angle value of two or more.And directional reference described in the present invention is set, user can also be Which can use by unrestricted choice at any time under " 0 degree " and " positive/negative 90 degree " three directions, and in oneself fatigue or can be weary of When change to used under another direction at any time --- as long as user changes sets state to the mode of operation of mouse.

And multipoint touch sensor is typically also to be realized by two mutually perpendicular coordinate array of X, Y, then it is also to have Directional reference, and because the reason for production is convenient, is that can be configured with 90 degree of benchmark at interval.

The mode of operation setup module can be from a two sections/three-stage switch and reality with data processing module Existing, by the setting state of data processing module detection operations pattern setup module, control plane displacement transducer and multiple spot are touched Touch sensor and change directional reference.

The mode of operation setup module can also be a set of control circuit, direct commander/setting in-plane displancement sensor and The operative orientation benchmark of multipoint touch sensor.

The mode of operation setup module can be by a microswitch and meter of the data processing module to the microswitch Number, which coordinates, to be realized, seems that the CPI/DPI of existing mouse sets the pattern of switch.Data processing module detects that the switch is pressed Number of times, according to it is different press number of times representated by different setting state to in-plane displancement sensor and multipoint touch sensor It is controlled/sets, changes their operative orientation benchmark.

The purpose of this invention is to produce the touch mouse mouse combined in length and breadth based on existing touch mouse, do not have The cost of essence, general mode function and effect close to magic mouse；After horizontal type pattern is switched to, mouse Mark becomes width, and operating gesture becomes to unfold, and then its function and effect are close to magic trackpad, but compare magic More one of trackpad can provide the driving function to screen cursor in itself with mobile device.So " horizontal type " state can be with Improve the stability and comfortableness of operation.

Can be used with horizontal, can also become again it is longitudinal use, can be with switching between two states be intended to, so as to switch Two kinds of entirely different operating gestures.The most important reason that fatigue is caused using mouse is to keep single posture for a long time, this If posture more comfortable time that perhaps can postpone to produce fatigue when starting, the ergonomics mouse just as is done As, but basic change is not had in one week of 8X5 hours.The mouse of double mode switching makes the gesture of consumer can be with It is very different, the fatigue that the long-term posture of hand is caused with dull action can be reduced.
