によって分解能の自動調整が行える分解能可変型マウス
を提供することである。Among the above-mentioned conventional variable resolution mice, mice in which the resolution is changed using a manual switch have the disadvantage that if the resolution needs to be changed frequently, the operation is complicated and sufficient operability cannot be obtained. Also, with a mouse whose resolution is automatically adjusted depending on the speed of movement, if you want to move the cursor on the screen by a large distance, you will need a snap of your wrist or a quick movement of the arm holding the mouse to move the mouse at high speed. Therefore, there is a drawback that the operability is not necessarily good. - The present invention? The purpose is to eliminate these drawbacks and provide a variable resolution mouse that can automatically adjust the resolution through natural operations.

を備えて構成されている。The variable resolution mouse of the present invention includes a rotation amount detection means for detecting the amount of rotation of a ball in the mouse in two orthogonal directions, and a conversion means for converting this output into a number of pulse signals that are not proportional to the amount of rotation. an output means for transmitting this pulse signal to a data processing device; a pressure detection means for detecting pressure applied to the side surface of the mouse; and a number of pulse signals sent from the conversion means to the output means is detected by the pressure detection means. and a resolution adjusting means for monotonically changing the resolution according to the magnitude of the applied pressure.
次に、本発明の実施例について図面を参照して説明する
。Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第１図は本発明の一実施例の構成を示す機能ブロック図

段２から出力されるパルス信号数を圧力検出手段３で検
出された圧力の大きさに応じて単調に変化させる分解能
調整手段、５はこのパルス信号をデータ処理装置６へ送
信する出力手段である。In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a rotation amount detection means for detecting the amount of rotation of the ball within the mouse, 2 a conversion means for converting this output into a number of pulse signals proportional to the amount of rotation, and 3 a pulse signal applied to the side of the mouse. 4 is a resolution adjusting means for monotonically changing the number of pulse signals outputted from the converting means 2 according to the magnitude of the pressure detected by the pressure detecting means 3; 5 is a resolution adjusting means for detecting the pulse signal; This is an output means for transmitting data to the data processing device 6.

なわち操作者がマウスを握る力を検出するものであり゛
、例えばストレーンゲージ圧力センサ（半導体拡散抵抗
型）又は感圧導電性ゴムのような既存の圧力センサを用
いることにより容易に実現することができる。The pressure detection means 3 detects the pressure applied to the side of the mouse, that is, the force with which the operator grips the mouse, and is, for example, a strain gauge pressure sensor (semiconductor diffusion resistance type) or a pressure-sensitive conductive rubber. This can be easily realized by using an existing pressure sensor.

解能を下げてマウスを大きく移動しても画面上のカーソ
ルは少ししか動かないようにする。The resolution adjustment means 4 adjusts the number of pulse signals (the resolution of the mouse) from the conversion means 2 according to the magnitude of the pressure detected by the pressure detection means 3, and can be easily realized by counter technology. If the pressure on the mouse grip is small, increase the resolution so that the cursor on the screen moves a lot with a small movement of the mouse, and if the pressure on the mouse grip is high, lower the resolution so that even if the mouse is moved a large distance Make sure the cursor moves only a little.

に分解能調整手段４を実現すれば、自然な動作で無理な
く操作性が向上する。In short, when performing detailed work on the screen, it is better to lower the resolution of the mouse because delicate movement of the cursor is required, but in general, when performing detailed work, the hand strength naturally increases. If the resolution adjusting means 4 is implemented so that the resolution is lowered when the pressure applied to the side surface 1 of the mouse is large, the operability will be naturally improved and the operability will be improved without strain.
なお、分解能調整手段４は、第１図のように変換手段２

成してもよい。Note that the resolution adjustment means 4 is connected to the conversion means 2 as shown in FIG.
It may be configured integrally with the converting means 2 instead of being inserted between the converting means 2 and the output means 6.

整する割合は操作性を考慮しそ任意に決めてよい。FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the present invention. Figure 2 (
Figure 2(b) shows the movement of the cursor on the screen when the mouse is held firmly and moved the same distance. The moving distance on the screen varies depending on the means for converting the pulse signal from the mouse into the moving distance on the screen, and is determined by the hardware and software of the data processing device. The rate at which the number of pulse signals is adjusted depending on the amount of pressure applied to the grip may be arbitrarily determined in consideration of operability.

調整が可能となる。As explained in detail above, the uninvented method allows the resolution to be adjusted on the mouse side, without making any changes to the hardware and software on the data processing device side. The distance the cursor moves can be adjusted.
