Description

  The present invention relates to a control device, and more particularly to a cursor control device.

  With the progress of science and technology, computers (for example, desktop computers or notebook computers) have already played a very important role in the lives of modern people. In general, a computer can be operated mainly by combining a keyboard and a mouse, but it is actually inconvenient to carry for a portable electronic device (for example, a notebook computer or a tablet computer). In view of the above problems, the present invention realizes the advantage that it is not necessary to carry or use the mouse by integrating with most portable electronic devices on the cursor control surface.

  The cursor control devices that are often found in the market today are mainly divided into three types: touch pad, optical finger navigation, and track point. There have been problems and drawbacks with cursor control devices. The touch pad requires a relatively large installation space. Optical finger navigation cannot be used smoothly because it is necessary to repeatedly slide the finger several times when trying to move the cursor to a large range. The track point is a mechanical structure as a whole, so a relatively large force is applied in use, and after a long period of use, an error is easily generated, and the cursor generates a drift during the movement process, thereby improving accuracy. I will lose.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention has been completed as a result of intensive studies.

  In one embodiment, a cursor control device is provided that includes a processor, a movement sensing module, a pushing member, and a pressure sensing module. The movement sensing module includes a circuit board and a touch member located above the circuit board. The movement sensing module detects the movement of the object on the touch member, and the processor generates a cursor movement signal based on the detection result of the movement sensing module, and is used for controlling the movement of the cursor. The pressing member is provided on the outer peripheral side of the touch member. The pressure sensing module is located below the pressing member and is used to detect the pressure generated by the pressing member. The processor generates a cursor continuation signal based on the detection result of the pressure sensing module and continues the cursor. Used to control movement.

  In one embodiment, another cursor control device is provided that includes a processor, a movement sensing module, and a pressure sensing module. The movement sensing module includes a circuit board and a touch member located above the circuit board. The movement sensing module detects the movement of the object on the touch member, and the processor generates a cursor movement signal based on the detection result of the movement sensing module, and is used for controlling the movement of the cursor. The pressure sensing module is located below the touch member, detects the pressure generated by the touch member, and the processor generates a cursor continuation signal based on the detection result of the pressure sensing module to control the continuation movement of the cursor. Used.

  Through this, the cursor control device determines the movement direction of the cursor through the cursor movement signal generated by the movement sensing module, and the cursor moves toward the movement direction by the cursor continuation signal generated by pressing the pressure sensing module. You can determine how fast you keep moving. Therefore, the volume of the cursor control device can be greatly reduced, the non-mechanical structure can be further saved, and a long life, operation accuracy, and human-friendly operability can be realized.

  In one embodiment, the mobile sensing module may be an optical finger navigation, and the touch member may be a light transmissive member or a semi-transmissive member. For example, the touch member may be made of glass or light transmissive plastic, such as a lens, but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the mobile sensing module may be a touch pad. Pad), for example, a capacitive type, resistive film type, electromagnetic induction type or infrared type touch pad. Alternatively, the mobile sensing module can also be an image capture device.

  In one embodiment, the movement sensing module detects an object movement direction and generates a cursor movement signal correspondingly. For example, through the movement of the object in the X-axis and Y-axis directions within a certain time, the direction and distance of the object movement are calculated to generate a cursor movement signal.

  In one embodiment, the pressure sensing module may be a pressure sensing resistor element, but is not limited thereto, and in another embodiment, a piezoelectric method, a capacitance method, or an inductance is used. Other types of pressure sensors can be used.

  In one embodiment, the pressure sensing module may generate a cursor continuation signal according to a pressure value subjected to pressure. For example, the pressure sensing module can calculate different pressure values based on different resistance changes, the larger the pressure value, the larger the cursor continuation signal, the smaller the pressure value, the more the cursor continuation signal Becomes smaller.

  In one embodiment, the pressure sensing module may include a plurality of pressure sensors arranged equiangularly above the circuit board. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the pressure sensing module also includes only the pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor has a ring shape and is provided above the circuit board.

  In one embodiment, the cursor control device may further include a pedestal and a data transmission interface (eg, a transmission cable). The circuit board is located above the pedestal, the data transmission interface is electrically connected to the movement sensing module and the pressure sensing module, and extends from one side of the pedestal to output a cursor movement signal and a cursor continuation signal. .

  In one embodiment, the pressing member may include an upper annular surface, and the upper annular surface has an outer peripheral edge. The upper annular surface is inclined from the inside to the outside, and the height of the outer peripheral edge is made higher than the height of the touch member.

  In one embodiment, the presence or absence of an object that contacts the touch member is detected before detecting the amount of object movement, and in some cases, the amount of object movement is detected.

  In one embodiment, a cursor movement signal is output when the object movement amount is not zero after the object movement amount is detected.

  In one embodiment, after the object movement amount is detected, when the object movement amount is zero, it is determined whether the pressure sensing module has received pressure by reading the pressure value of the pressure sensing module.

  In one embodiment, after reading the pressure value, it is further determined whether the pressure value is greater than a set value. When the pressure is larger than the set value, the average moving direction and moving speed are determined, and a cursor continuation signal is output according to the average moving direction and moving speed. The average moving direction can be calculated by averaging the last several moving amounts before the object moving amount becomes zero.

Example 1
1, 2, 3 </ b> A, and 3 </ b> B show the first embodiment of the present invention, where FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG.
In the present embodiment, the cursor control device 1 includes a movement sensing module 10, a pressing member 20, a pressure sensing module 30, a data transmission interface 40, and a processor (not shown). The cursor control device 1 can be mounted on an electronic device (for example, a notebook computer or a tablet computer). The cursor control device 1 is used to connect to an electronic device using the data transmission interface 40 and control cursor movement of the electronic device. The cursor control device 1 can include at least one processor (not shown). For example, the movement sensing module 10 and the pressure sensing module 30 share one processor to provide data calculation capability. For example, the movement sensing module 10 and the pressure sensing module 30 can each be provided with a processor. In addition, although data calculation can be performed using a processor of an external electronic device, the present invention is not limited to this.

The mobile sensing module 10 includes a circuit board 11 and a touch member 12 located above the circuit board 11. The touch member 12 is used to define a detection zone of the movement sensing module 10 that is a user operation zone, and the movement sensing module 10 is used to detect the amount of movement of the object.
In a preferred embodiment, the mobile sensing module 10 is an optical finger navigation, and the touch member 12 may include a light emitting member 121 (eg, a light emitting diode), a light transmissive main body 122, and a photosensitive member 123. . For example, the photosensitive member 123 can be a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) or a CCD (charge coupled device), and the main body 122 can be made of glass or a transparent plastic material, such as an optical lens (Lens). ).
The light emitting member 121 and the photosensitive member 123 are provided on the circuit board 11, and the main body 122 is here a cover-type cap (here, it has a substantially rectangular shape, but may be a circle, an ellipse, or other irregular shape). The light emitting member 121 and the photosensitive member 123 are covered. The circuit board 11 is fixed on the pedestal 50 (for example, through adhesion or engagement).

Through this, when an object (for example, a finger or a touch pen) touches the surface of the main body 122 and moves one distance, the object emits light (for example, infrared rays) emitted from the light emitting member 121 and reflects it to reflect the photosensitive member. The movement of the object can be detected by the transmission method to 123. The processor uses the detection result of the movement sensing module 10 as a basis for calculating the cursor movement signal and controlling the cursor movement. In other words, the cursor movement signal can be controlled to move the cursor one distance in one direction. For example, when the position of the object at the first time is (x1, y1) and the position at the second time is (x2, y2), the processor moves in the moving direction through the detection results of the first and second times of the movement sensing module 10. And a movement distance (x2-x1, y2-y1), that is, a cursor movement signal can be acquired.
Please refer to FIG. In this embodiment, the optical finger navigation is the movement sensing module 10, and the movement sensing module 10 as a whole is slightly larger than the fingertip, and generates a cursor movement signal when the finger moves a small distance on the surface of the main body 122. You can control the distance and direction of movement of the cursor. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, since the volume of the entire movement sensing module 10 can be reduced, the cursor control device 1 is located between the keys of the keyboard 2 (for example, between the G key, the H key, and the B key of the keyboard 2). It is possible to allow the user to perform cursor control operations with the keyboard 2.

  In some embodiments, the mobile sensing module 10 may be a touch pad. For example, the movement sensing module 10 can be a capacitive touch pad, and the cursor movement signal is generated by determining the movement distance and movement direction of the object based on the change in the capacitance value generated by the movement of the object. Alternatively, the movement sensing module 10 may be a capacitive touch pad, and the cursor movement signal is generated by determining the movement distance and movement direction of the object based on a change in voltage value generated by the movement of the object. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the movement sensing module 10 can also include an image capture device (eg, a shooting camera), and the cursor movement signal is obtained by shooting the position of the object at different times and determining the moving direction of the object. Is generated. Furthermore, in another embodiment, the mobile sensing module 10 can also be an electromagnetic or infrared touch pad, but this portion is not limited.

The pressing member 20 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the touch member 12 and is used for pressing against the pressure sensing module 30. The shape of the pressing member 20 corresponds to the outer peripheral shape of the touch member 12. That is, the shape of the touch member 12 can be a circle, a rectangle, or an ellipse, and the shape of the pressing member 20 is a corresponding circle, square, or ellipse, but is not limited thereto, and the pressing member 20 is not limited thereto. The touch member 12 can also have different shapes.
Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. In this embodiment, the pressing member 20 is a rectangular annular block body that surrounds the outer peripheral side of the touch member 12, and the inner contraction annular block body 201 in which the inner side of the pressing member 20 contacts the periphery of the touch member 12 upward. Therefore, when the touch member 12 receives pressure, it is pressed against the pressing member 20 at the same time. In addition, the opposite U-shaped portion 202 extends downward on both sides of the pressing member 20, and the reverse U-shaped portion 202 is hooked on the bottom of the pedestal 50 to fix the pressing member 20. .
Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, in this embodiment, the lower portion of the pedestal 50 is fixed by extending the protrusion 51 downward and fitting it into the hole 61 of the substrate 60. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pedestal 50 can also be fixed on the substrate 60 by an adhesive bonding or engagement method. As shown in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the cursor control device 1 is attached between the keys of the keyboard 2, and the board 60 can be a plate on which the keys of the keyboard 2 are placed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the pressing member 20 can be a plurality of block bodies, and the plurality of block bodies are provided around the four sides of the touch member 12.

  The pressure sensing module 30 receives the pressing of the pressing member 20 or the touch member 12 and generates a pressure signal. In the present embodiment, the pressure sensing module 30 includes four pressure sensors 31 and is equiangularly arranged in four directions above the circuit board 11. More specifically, the angular interval between the four pressure sensors 31 is 90 degrees, and the annular block body 201 that is contracted inwardly of the pressing member 20 contacts the pressure sensors 31. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the pressure sensing module 30 can also include four or more or less than four pressure sensors 31, and at other angular intervals (for example, 30 degrees or 60 degrees), etc. Corner arrangement is possible.

The pressure sensor 31 is a pressure-sensitive resistor element (Force Sensing Resistor) in the present embodiment, and is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 through the transmission interface 32 (lead wires arranged at two intervals here). . The pressure sensitive resistor element may be in the form of a thin film or a thin plate in a specific implementation, and may generate different resistance changes due to different pressure magnitudes, so that different pressure values due to different resistance changes. And a pressure signal is output. The processor calculates a cursor continuation signal based on the pressure signal, and determines a time and a speed at which the cursor continues to move in a movement direction corresponding to the cursor movement signal. For example, the pressure sensor 31 detects the pressing time of the user, that is, the duration of the cursor continuation signal corresponds to the time that the cursor continues to move. Conversely, the pressure sensing module 30 does not generate a cursor continuation signal when not receiving pressure, and the cursor does not continue to move in the corresponding movement direction of the cursor movement signal.
The higher the pressure value detected by the pressure sensing module 30, the more the processor adjusts the cursor continuation signal correspondingly to accelerate the cursor speed, that is, the pressure value is directly proportional to the cursor movement speed (linear or non-linear direct proportionality). Can be relationship). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in some aspects, the pressure sensor 31 may be a pressure sensor of another type such as a piezoelectric method, a capacitance method, or an inductance method. The pressure value is calculated through the change in voltage value. In addition, in some embodiments, the pressure sensing module 30 can generate a cursor continuation signal when the pressure value is greater than a set value, via which the user can accidentally touch and continue to move the cursor during the operation process. Avoid.

  Continuing from the above, the cursor continuation signal has the problem that it is necessary to repeatedly slide the finger when the cursor needs to move in a large range by moving the cursor in the corresponding movement direction of the cursor movement signal. Solve. In addition, the pressure value detected by the pressure sensing module 30 is used to adjust according to the speed at which the cursor continues to move. Increase convenience.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the pressure sensing module 30 includes a plurality of pressure sensors 31 and is arranged above the circuit board 11 with an interval therebetween, thereby further accurately determining the cursor stop. Can increase sex. As an example, when a sudden pressure change appears in any one of the pressure sensors 31, the user can determine that the finger is moving without moving the finger in an attempt to control the cursor, so the cursor movement is not controlled. As shown in FIG. 5, in the present embodiment, the pressure sensing module 30 includes only one annular pressure sensor 31 that is in contact with the lower side of the annular block body 201 that shrinks inward of the pressing member 20. That is, the pressure sensor 31 is a pressure ring.

The data transmission interface 40 is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 to receive and output the cursor movement signal, and is electrically connected to the pressure sensing module 30 to receive and output the cursor continuation signal.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the data transmission interface 40 is a flexible printed circuit board and one end is electrically connected to the circuit board 11 and the pressure sensing module 30, and the other end of the data transmission interface 40. Extends from one side of the pedestal 50. For example, in a state in which a processor is built in the cursor control device 1, the processor is electrically connected to the circuit board 11, and the processor transmits a cursor movement signal and a cursor continuation signal to the electronic device through the data transmission interface 40. In a state where the cursor control device 1 uses an external processor, the other end of the data transmission interface 40 is connected to the external processor, whereby the movement signal and pressure signal of the object are transmitted to the external processor, and the external processor transmits the cursor movement signal. And the cursor continuation signal can be calculated correspondingly to control the movement of the cursor.

  When the cursor control device 1 is operated, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user places a finger on the surface of the main body 122 of the touch member 12 of the movement sensing module 10, the cursor control device 1 slides a certain distance in a certain direction. The processor can generate the cursor movement signal and control the corresponding movement of the cursor. Next, the user further presses the main body 122 or the pressing member 20 (here, pressing the main body 122 downward) to apply pressure to the pressure sensing module 30, and the processor further continues the cursor. A signal is generated and corresponding control is performed so that the cursor continues to move in the moving direction. This improves the disadvantage of the prior art that needs to be slid repeatedly, and realizes further labor saving and longer life as compared with the mechanical cursor control device. In addition, the operation time can be further shortened by changing the speed at which the cursor continues to move according to the applied pressure.

  Still referring to FIG. FIG. 10 is a step flowchart of the cursor control method of the present invention. Speaking from the cursor control device 1, as in step 1001, the cursor control device 1 first determines whether or not the finger is touching the touch member 12 of the movement sensing module 10. As described above, the movement amount of the finger on the touch member 12 (including the movement amounts of the X axis and the Y axis) is read. At this time, the process proceeds to step 1003 to determine the amount of movement of the X axis or Y axis. If the amount of movement of the X axis or Y axis is not 0, it indicates that the finger still moves on the touch member 12. The processor outputs the cursor movement signal, that is, detects the amount of object movement on the touch member 12 and generates a cursor movement signal, thereby controlling the cursor to move in one direction. When the movement amount of the X axis or the Y axis is 0, it indicates that the finger stops moving on the touch member 12, and proceeds to step 1005 to read the numerical value of the pressure sensing module and to detect pressure by touching it in error. In order to avoid generating a signal by lightly pressing the module 30, it is determined in step 1006 whether the pressure value is larger than a preset pressure value (that is, a set value). If so, the process proceeds to step 1007, where the user moves the cursor. An attempt is made to continue to move, clearly indicating that pressure is applied to the pressing member 20. At this time, first, the average movement direction is calculated based on the average movement amount of the last several finger movements determined in step 1002 (for example, the movement data of the last ten movements before stopping the sliding of the finger is averaged). Based on the pressure value in step 1006, the speed at which the cursor continues to move in the average direction (for example, the larger the pressure value, the faster the cursor speed) is determined. Finally, a cursor continuation signal is sent to step 1009. Output. In short, when the finger slides from the first position to the second position on the touch member 12, the moving direction and moving distance of the cursor can be controlled. When the finger is subsequently pressed downward at the second position and pressed against the pressure sensing module 30, the cursor can be controlled to continue moving in the moving direction, and the speed when the cursor continues to move is controlled. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the pressing member 20 includes an upper annular surface 21, and the upper annular surface 21 has an outer peripheral edge 22. The upper annular surface 21 is inclined from the inside to the outside, and the height of the outer peripheral edge 22 is made higher than the height of the touch member 12. Through this, there is an effect of position restriction during the process of the user's finger sliding on the touch member 12. It realizes the advantage that it is difficult to touch other assemblies (eg, keys) aside during operation.

(Example 2)
FIG. 8 is a second embodiment of the cursor control device. The difference between the cursor control device 1 </ b> A of the present embodiment and the cursor control device 1 is that the pressing member 20 does not include the inner-retracted annular block body 201 and the inverted U-shaped portion 202, and is below the pressing member 20. Is directly connected to the substrate 60 and positioned (for example, the pressing member 20 contacts or adheres to the substrate 60).
In addition, the pressing member 20 and the movement sensing module 10 of the cursor control device 1A are not in contact with each other and the pressure sensing module 30 is in contact with only the pressing member 20. Therefore, after the user slides on the touch member 12 of the movement sensing module 10 and presses against the pressing member 20, pressure can be applied to the pressure sensing module 30 and a raw cursor continuation signal can be generated.

Example 3
FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment of the cursor control device. The difference between the cursor control device 1B of the present embodiment and the cursor control device 1 is that the pressing member 20 does not include the inner-retracted annular block body 201 and the inverted U-shaped portion 202, and below the pressing member 20. Is directly connected to the substrate 60 and positioned (for example, the pressing member 20 contacts or adheres to the substrate 60). In addition, the pressing member 20 of the cursor control device 1B and the movement sensing module 10 do not come into contact with each other, and the pressure sensing module 30 comes into contact with only the movement sensing module 10, so that the user can move the movement sensing module 10. After sliding on the touch member 12, the pressure is applied to the pressure sensing module 30 by pressing against the moving sensing module 10, and a raw cursor continuation signal can be generated.

  In summary, the cursor control device determines the direction of movement of the cursor through the cursor movement signal generated by the movement sensing module, and the cursor moves according to the cursor continuation signal generated by pressing the pressure sensing module. You can determine the speed at which you continue to move in the direction. Therefore, the volume of the cursor control device can be greatly reduced, the non-mechanical structure can be further saved, and a long life, operation accuracy, and human-friendly operability can be realized.
