DrehmausRotating mouse

Die Kommunikation mit einem Computer kann durch verschiedene Geräte erfolgen. Kleincomputer werden durch die Tastatur bedient, seit einiger Zeit hat sich auch eine sogenannte Maus(l) als Eingabegerät bewährt und durchgesetzt.Communication with a computer can be achieved through various devices. Small computers are operated using a keyboard, and for some time now a so-called mouse has also proven to be a popular input device.

Die Maus (I) wird mit einer Hand auf einer ebenen Fläche bewegt. Eine Kugel(2) im Innern der Maus(l) hat Reibungskontakt mit dieser Ebene, so daß Relativbewegungen der Maus(l) auf der Ebene in Drehbewegungen der Kugel(2) umgesetzt werden. Diese Eigenrotationen werden elektronisch verarbeitet, etwi in zur Bewegung der Maus(l) analoge Bewegungen einer Markierung auf dem Bildschirm des Computers.The mouse (I) is moved with one hand on a flat surface. A ball (2) inside the mouse (l) has frictional contact with this plane, so that relative movements of the mouse (l) on the plane are converted into rotational movements of the ball (2). These rotations are processed electronically, like movements of a marker on the computer screen that are analogous to the movement of the mouse (l).

Eine Maus(l) der beschriebenen Art erfaßt (und überträgt) vertikale und horizontale Komponenten der Bewegung in der Ebene. Bei der Dretinauä(3) ist zusätzlich eine Rotation um eine Achse senkrecht zur Bewegungsebene feststellbar: (mindestens) eine weitere Kugel(2) liefert, wie die oben beschriebene erste Kugel(2), Informationen über relative Ortsveränderungen. Ohne Rotation der Drehmaus(3) sind die Informationen aller Kugeln(2) jeweils zeitgleich identisch, mit Rotation können aus dem Vergleich der Informationen Rückschlüsse über Sichtung und G^öße der relativen Drehbewegung der Drehmaus(3) gezogen werden.A mouse(1) of the type described detects (and transmits) vertical and horizontal components of movement in the plane. In the case of the rotary mouse(3), a rotation around an axis perpendicular to the plane of movement can also be detected: (at least) another ball(2) provides information about relative changes in location, like the first ball(2) described above. Without rotation of the rotary mouse(3), the information from all balls(2) is identical at the same time; with rotation, conclusions can be drawn about the visibility and magnitude of the relative rotational movement of the rotary mouse(3) from the comparison of the information.

Die Erfassung der Rotation ist mit einem Schalter(4) an der Drehmaus(3) ein- bzw. ausschaltbar.The rotation detection can be switched on or off using a switch (4) on the rotary mouse (3).
