Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress the movement of a pointing device to minimum and to efficiently execute moving operation by providing the pointing device with an exclusive switch for specifying the moving rate of a mouse cursor. CONSTITUTION:A ratio specification switch 6b mounted on a mouse 6 is depressed to send a moving ratio to the 2nd input part 1b. The moving ratio can be increased/decreased in each fixed unit every time when the switch 6b is depressed. The moving ratio is increased/decreased by an up/down specifica tion switch. When the mouse 6 is moved, its moving direction and moving distance are sent to the 1st input part 1a. The moving distance of the mouse cursor is obtained by multiplying the moving distance from an input part 1a by the moving ratio from an input part 1b through an analyzing part 2. The moving state is outputted to an output part 3 and then similar operation to a conventional device is executed. Since the moving distance of the mouse cursor can be changed by the switch 6b, the pointing device can be more effi ciently moved by the optimum moving distance.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] This invention... The information processing device uses a voicing device as an input means. This invention relates to an improvement in a configuration for moving a mouse cursor displayed on a display unit on a display screen.

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional example of this type of device, for example, Fig. 3, IK4
There is one shown in the figure. Figure 3 is a block diagram showing a mouse cursor control mechanism applied to a conventional information processing device. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the entire conventional information processing device.

In Fig. 3, (l) is an input unit for reading movement information from a pointing device (6), which will be described later.
2) is an analysis unit that calculates the movement direction and movement amount as output data based on the movement information input to the input unit (1);
(3) is an output unit that outputs a mouse cursor to a display unit α● (described later) based on the output data output from the analysis unit (2), and {4} is a control unit that controls the entire information processing device. 《The bar is the data line. 1. In Fig. 4, ``6'' is a mouse as a pointing device, and ``7'' is a scanning plate for moving the mouse ``6''. (8) is shown in Figure 3 with the symbol (1)
A control device body containing each of the components shown in 1 to {5),
(9) is a keyboard. aLI is a CRT display as a display section. The mouse cursor is displayed on the display screen of the CRT display aO.

Next, a mouse cursor movement operation using a conventional device will be explained in detail.

The mouse cursor displayed on the CRT display α● (
To move I11, first move the mouse {6} on the scanning plate (71).The movement information at that time is
6) It is input to the input section (11) of the control device main body (8), and is further sent to the analysis section (2) via the data line (5).

The analysis unit (21 determines the movement direction and calculates the movement amount based on the movement information from the input unit (11), and outputs the calculation result to the output unit <<3>> as output data.Output unit (3)
Now, based on the output data from the analysis section (2), display the mouse cursor on the ORT display a● [Problem to be solved by the invention] In the conventional information processing device as described above, When moving the mouse cursor a1l displayed in ●. The mouse (6) can only be moved at a predetermined fixed ratio to the amount of movement, and if the amount of movement is large, it was necessary to increase the amount of movement or increase the number of movements using the mouse (6) movement operation. - On the other hand, if you wanted to move the mouse cursor slightly, you would have to move the mouse (6) slightly as well, which caused another problem in terms of work efficiency.

This invention was made to solve this problem, and the mouse cursor aI is
An object of the present invention is to obtain an information processing device that can change a moving ratio of 1.

[Means to solve the problem]

In the information processing apparatus according to the present invention, the pointing device is provided with a dedicated switch for specifying the movement ratio of the mouse cursor.

[Effect]

J to this invention? In this case, the moving ratio of the mouse cursor is input from the pointing device by operating a dedicated switch provided on the pointing device to generate the moving ratio.

[Embodiments of the invention]

FIG. 1C and FIG. 2 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the information processing apparatus of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a mouse cursor control mechanism and a mouse in an information processing apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an outline of the entire information processing apparatus according to the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numerals (11 to 11) indicate the same or corresponding parts as those of the conventional example described above, and the explanation thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

(The input section 11 is made up of two types of input sections that are different from those of the conventional example. The first input section (1a) is the same as that provided in the conventional device. This is an input section for inputting the direction and amount of movement of the mouse.Second
The input section (1b) is unique to the device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and is an input section for inputting the movement ratio of the mouse cursor, and is operated by a dedicated switch provided on the mouse (6), which will be described later. .

(6) is a mouse, and as shown in Figure 2, in addition to the click switch (6a), there are two dedicated ratio designation switches (6b) for designating the movement ratio of the mouse cursor.
is provided.

Next, a mouse cursor movement operation performed by the information processing apparatus according to this embodiment will be explained.

1. Select the ratio switch (6) on the mouse (6).
b) By pressing , the movement ratio changes from the mouse (6) to the second
is sent to the input section (1b) of. The movement ratio can be increased or decreased in fixed units each time the ratio designation switch (6b) is pressed. Pressing the upward (▲) ratio designation switch will increase the value, and pressing the downward (▼) ratio designation switch will decrease the value. Next, in order to move the mouse (6), the direction and amount of movement are sent to the first input section (1a). The amount of movement of the mouse cursor is obtained by multiplying the amount of mouse movement from the first input section (1a) by the movement ratio from the second input section (1b). This is the analysis department《
Hereinafter, the operations performed after the movement information is output to the output unit <<3>> are the same as in the case of the conventional device.

As described above, in the information processing device according to this embodiment, the ratio designation switch (
6b) can be used to change the amount of mouse cursor movement, so you can select the most suitable one for your application. This has the effect of allowing efficient mouse cursor movement.

In the above embodiment, the case where a dedicated switch was used to specify the movement ratio of the mouse cursor was explained. As another example. A similar effect can be obtained by using specific keys on the keyboard <<9>>.

〔Effect of the invention〕
