Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of operation operability by generating direction vector and moving amount proportional to the time for pressing a switch while taking the direction vector and the moving amount held in a holding circuit as one unit. CONSTITUTION:A moving information generation circuit 10 converts moving data 9 generated when shifting a mouse 1 is moved while a holding switch 13 depressed into dy-vector 7 in Y direction, dx-vector 8 in X direction, and moving amount 11. A shift amount generation circuit 14 holds the moving amount 11 and a direction vector holding circuit 12 holds the dy-vector 7 and dx-vector 8. In proportion to the interval when the mouse 1 is stopped and the holding switch 13 is continued depressing, a mouse moving amount information signal is generated from the direction vector held in the direction vector direction circuit 12 and the moving amount 11a held in the moving amount generation circuit 14, sent to a digital information equipment 15. Thus, the number of operation is reduced, resulting in improving the operability.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mouse used in a digital information device, and more particularly to a movement information signal generation circuit when the mouse moves in a fixed direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional mouse has a circuit for detecting a moving amount and a moving direction, converting data of the detected moving direction into a moving information signal at any time, and sending it to a digital information device.

[0003]

This conventional mouse has a circuit configuration in which the amount and direction of movement of the mouse by the operator are sent as data to the digital information device, so that when a large movement is desired in a certain direction. , Move the mouse to a place where you can move it, lift the mouse back to the original position, do the same operation again, and if you still can not move to the position you want to move, repeat the same operation again, this thing Is also related to the size of the operating area of the mouse, and if the operating area is small, the number of operations will increase.

As described above, the conventional mouse has a problem that the operating place must be wide when operating and that the number of operations is large when the operating place is small.

[0005]

The mouse of the present invention is a mouse for inputting the X-direction and Y-direction direction vectors and the movement amount, which are generated by the operation of the operator, to the digital information device as data. In (1), a holding circuit that holds the direction vector and the movement amount once without directly sending them as data, and the direction vector and the movement amount held by this holding circuit as one unit are proportional to the period of pressing the switch. And a generation circuit that generates the direction vector and the movement amount.

[0006]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a case where the mouse of this embodiment is moved.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the moving direction as a vector when the mouse of this embodiment in FIG. 2 moves.

In FIG. 1, the mouse of this embodiment uses the movement data 9 generated when the mouse first moves as d in the Y-axis direction.
y vector 7 and dx vector 8 in the X-axis direction and movement amount 11
And a holding switch 13, and a dy vector 7a that holds the dy vector 7 and the dx vector 8 from the moving information signal generating circuit 10 and is proportional to the ON state period of the holding switch 13. The direction vector holding circuit 12 that outputs the dx vector 8a and the movement amount generation circuit 14 that outputs the movement amount 11a proportional to the ON state of the holding switch 13 are configured.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
And it demonstrates using FIG.

When the mouse 1 of this embodiment is moved with the holding switch 13 being pressed as shown in FIG. 2, the movement data 9 generated at that time is moved by the movement information generating circuit 10 in the Y direction 5 as shown in FIG. To the dy vector 7, the X direction 6 to the dx vector 8 and the movement amount 11, and then the dy vector 7
And the dx vector 8 are held by the direction vector holding circuit 12.

Thereafter, the mouse 1 is stopped and the holding switch 13
Direction vector dy held in the direction vector holding circuit 12 in proportion to the period of pressing and holding
Vector 7a, dx vector 8b, and movement amount generation circuit 1
A mouse movement information signal is generated from the movement amount 11a held in 4 and sent to the digital information device 5.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, in the mouse for inputting the direction vector and the movement amount in the X and Y directions generated by the operator's operation as data to the digital information device, A holding circuit that holds the vector and movement amount once without sending them directly as data,
The direction vector and the amount of movement held by this holding circuit are set to 1
By providing a generation circuit that generates a direction vector proportional to the period of pressing the switch and the amount of movement as a unit, the number of operations is reduced and the operability can be improved.
