Abstract

DISPOSITIVO INDICADOR UTILIZANDO UN CONJUNTO FOTODETECTOR. DISPOSITIVO DE CONTROL DE CURSOR PARA ORDENADORES PERSONALES Y ESTACIONES DE TRABAJO QUE INCLUYE UNA BOLA MOTEADA ALEATORIAMENTE E ILUMINADA CON LUZ DIFUSA. UNA IMAGEN DE UNA PORCION, POR LO MENOS, DE LA ZONA ILUMINADA DE LA BOLA MOTEADA SE ENFOCA CON UN ELEMENTO OPTICO, QUE PUEDE SER UN ELEMENTO OPTICO DIFRACTIVO O UN CONJUNTO FOTOSENSIBLE. LA LOGICA ASOCIADA A ESTE CONJUNTO FOTOSENSIBLE DETERMINA EL MOVIMIENTO DE LA BOLA EN EL CONJUNTO Y TRANSFORMA ESE MOVIMIENTO EN SEÑALES CONVENCIONALES DE CONTROL DEL CURSOR QUE SE APLICAN A UN SISTEMA PRINCIPAL.
