Definitions
- the invention relates to a scroll mouse for computer use.
- a scroll mouse or a scroll wheel mouse has the advantage that the user can move the content up and down within a window of a software application without having to hit the scroll bar exactly with the mouse pointer.
- the scroll wheel is generally located between the two mouse buttons.
- the invention has for its object to make the scroll mouse more comfortable for the user.
- the scroll mouse according to the invention additionally offers the possibility of identifying the user.
- Siemens ID mouse has a flat fingerprint sensor that can be used to identify the user.
- a scroll mouse SM has a right and a left mouse button M1, M2.
- a scroll wheel SR can be arranged between these two mouse buttons M1 and M2. This case is shown in the drawing.
- the scroll mouse SM has a fingerprint line sensor ZS.
- This line sensor ZS is arranged in the radial direction adjacent to the scroll wheel SR. It is irrelevant whether the line sensor ZS is arranged before or after the scroll wheel SR in the direction of actuation.
- Scroll wheel SR can serve as a finger guide since it ensures a straight movement of the finger.
- the scroll wheel SR generally has a switch that is triggered when the wheel SR is pressed down. This switch can be used to activate fingerprint recording.
- a stop can be provided whereby the user can feel the start or the end of the finger scan.
- the scroll function is performed by the line sensor ZS or corresponding evaluation means, preferably in the connected one
- the line sensor ZS serves on the one hand to identify the user and on the other hand to determine a movement of a finger running over it. Since the line sensor ZS scans or scans several lines, the direction and the speed can be derived from this with a finger movement and used to control the scroll movement.

Abstract
The invention relates to a scroll mouse comprising two mouse buttons (M1, M2). Between the two mouse buttons (M1, M2), a fingerprint line sensor (ZS) is disposed that can be used to identify a user and to detect the scroll-movement of the finger of a user.

Fingerprint-Maus mit ZeilensensorFingerprint mouse with line sensor
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scroll-Maus für den Computereinsatz .The invention relates to a scroll mouse for computer use.
Eine Scroll-Maus beziehungsweise eine Scrollrad-Maus hat den Vorteil, dass der Benutzer innerhalb eines Fensters einer Softwareanwendung den Inhalt beliebig rauf- und runterschieben kann, ohne mit dem Mauszeiger den Rollbalken exakt treffen zu müssen. Das Scroll-Rad ist im Allgemeinen zwischen den beiden Maustasten angeordnet.A scroll mouse or a scroll wheel mouse has the advantage that the user can move the content up and down within a window of a software application without having to hit the scroll bar exactly with the mouse pointer. The scroll wheel is generally located between the two mouse buttons.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Scroll-Maus für den Benutzer komfortabler auszugestalten.The invention has for its object to make the scroll mouse more comfortable for the user.
Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 beziehungsweise durch die Merkmale des Pa- tentanspruchs 2 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of patent claim 1 or by the features of patent claim 2.
Die erfindungsgemäße Scroll-Maus bietet neben den an sich bekannten Mausfunktionen zusätzlich die Möglichkeit der Identifizierung des Benutzers.In addition to the mouse functions known per se, the scroll mouse according to the invention additionally offers the possibility of identifying the user.
Die sogenannte Siemens ID-Maus weist neben den beiden Maustasten einen flächigen Fingerprintsensor auf, über den eine Identifizierung des Benutzers möglich ist.In addition to the two mouse buttons, the so-called Siemens ID mouse has a flat fingerprint sensor that can be used to identify the user.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles beschrieben. Dabei zeigenThe invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. Show
Figur 1 in Draufsicht undFigure 1 in plan view and
Figur 2 in SeitenansichtFigure 2 in side view
die erfindungsgemäße Scroll-Maus.
Es wird von einer Scroll-Maus SM ausgegangen, die eine rechte und eine linke Maustaste Ml, M2 aufweist. Zwischen diesen beiden Maustasten Ml und M2 kann ein Scroll-Rad SR angeordnet sein. Dieser Fall ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.the scroll mouse according to the invention. It is assumed that a scroll mouse SM has a right and a left mouse button M1, M2. A scroll wheel SR can be arranged between these two mouse buttons M1 and M2. This case is shown in the drawing.
Die erfindungsgemäße Scroll-Maus SM weist einen Fingerprint- Zeilensensor ZS auf. Dieser Zeilen-Sensor ZS ist in radialer Richtung benachbart zum Scroll-Rad SR angeordnet. Es ist dabei unerheblich, ob in Betätigungsrichtung der Zeilen-Sensor ZS vor oder nach dem Scroll-Rad SR angeordnet ist. DasThe scroll mouse SM according to the invention has a fingerprint line sensor ZS. This line sensor ZS is arranged in the radial direction adjacent to the scroll wheel SR. It is irrelevant whether the line sensor ZS is arranged before or after the scroll wheel SR in the direction of actuation. The
Scroll-Rad SR kann hierbei als Fingerführung dienen da es eine geradlinige Bewegung des Fingers sicherstellt. Das Scroll- Rad SR weist im Allgemeinen einen Schalter auf, der beim Herunterdrücken des Rades SR ausgelöst wird. Dieser Schalter kann zur Aktivierung der Fingerprintaufnahme dienen.Scroll wheel SR can serve as a finger guide since it ensures a straight movement of the finger. The scroll wheel SR generally has a switch that is triggered when the wheel SR is pressed down. This switch can be used to activate fingerprint recording.
Es kann ein Anschlag vorgesehen sein, wodurch der Benutzer den Anfang oder das Ende des Finger-Scans erfühlen kann.A stop can be provided whereby the user can feel the start or the end of the finger scan.
Bei einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird die Scrollfunktion von dem Zeilen-Sensor ZS beziehungsweise ent- sprechenden Auswertemitteln, vorzugsweise im angeschlossenenIn another embodiment of the invention, the scroll function is performed by the line sensor ZS or corresponding evaluation means, preferably in the connected one
Computer, mit übernommen. Hierbei kann auf das Scroll-Rad SR verzichtet werden. Dieser Fall ist in der Zeichnung nicht explizit dargestellt.Computer, taken over. The scroll wheel SR can be dispensed with here. This case is not explicitly shown in the drawing.
Der Zeilen-Sensor ZS dient zum Einen der Identifizierung des Benutzers, und zum Anderen der Ermittlung einer Bewegung eines darüber streichenden Fingers. Da der Zeilensensor ZS mehrere Zeilen abtastet beziehungsweise scannt, kann bei einer Fingerbewegung die Richtung und die Geschwindigkeit daraus abgeleitet und zur Steuerung der Scroll-Bewegung verwendet werden.
The line sensor ZS serves on the one hand to identify the user and on the other hand to determine a movement of a finger running over it. Since the line sensor ZS scans or scans several lines, the direction and the speed can be derived from this with a finger movement and used to control the scroll movement.
