Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mouse-stored electronic computer having a mouse that can be used as a trackball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional personal computer, when carrying the personal computer, it is necessary to separate the mouse from the computer body. Also, if you want to use both a mouse and a trackball as a pointing device for operating a cursor, etc., each of these mice and a trackball is provided,
When replacing these, it was necessary to temporarily turn off the power of the personal computer, perform connection switching, and then turn on the power again to start up.

[0003]

In the prior art, when carrying a personal computer or the like, it is necessary to have a main body and a mouse separately, which is inconvenient. Also, it is inconvenient to select or switch a pointing device such as a mouse or a trackball.

According to the present invention, a mouse storage space is provided in a personal computer main body, and the mouse is stored when the mouse is not in use, thereby realizing the integration of the main body and the mouse, facilitating portability, and improving the ease of carrying. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mouse storage type computer device which can use a mouse as a trackball when the mouse is stored.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided an electronic computer apparatus having a board having input / output operation keys and a computer main body having a display for displaying input / output contents, and a computer main body side and a cable. In a computer device provided with a mouse to be connected, a mouse storage portion for storing the mouse with the operation ball on the lower surface of the mouse facing upward and the upward push button facing downward, and pressing the mouse on the bottom surface of the mouse storage portion. Pressing projection attached to the position facing the button, a function reversing device that reverses the signal of the pressed left and right push buttons, and a cable rewinding device that rewinds the cable connecting the computer and mouse It is characterized by having a vessel.

Further, the electronic computer device according to the present invention is characterized in that the mouse housing is a dedicated table provided separately from the computer main body.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a computer device according to the present invention will be described. In FIG. 1, operation keys 8 are attached to the surface of a personal computer 10 and are operation keys for operating input / output of a computer such as the personal computer 10.

The display 11 is a device attached to the surface of the personal computer 10 together with the operation keys 8 and displays the input / output contents of the personal computer 10.

The mouse housing section 2 is provided inside the personal computer 10 and is a space in which the mouse 5 for selecting an operation selection point displayed on the screen of the display 11 can be housed in a state as shown in FIG. And has a structure such that the mouse 5 does not easily slide down when the mouse 5 is stored.

As shown in FIG. 3, a potch 4 for fixing the mouse 5 housed upside down and fixed therein is mounted in the mouse housing section 2, and left and right push buttons 5a and 5b provided on the mouse 5 are pressed. I am trying to do it. In addition, the potch 4 can be provided, for example, on the left and right of the upper part of the mouse storage part 2 or can be provided on the lower part. Further, the potch 4 is located at the upper left portion 5d of the back of the stored mouse 5.
Alternatively, only when the right part 5c is pressed, the right push button 5b or the left push button 5a of the mouse 5 has a length to be pressed, and is arranged at an appropriate position in the mouse storage unit 2.

The function reversing device 3a is attached to the mouse 5 or the personal computer 10 and has a function of reversing the signals of the pressed left and right push buttons 5a and 5b.

A changeover switch 3 is provided on the mouse 5, and the changeover switch 3 is used to move a cursor in accordance with the up / down or left / right direction of the ball 6,
Switching of the left and right buttons can be performed collectively.

Further, when the mouse 5 is inserted into the mouse storage section 2, the mouse 5 is stored upside down, so that the ball 6 attached to the back side of the mouse 5 appears upward, and the operator 5 Is the ball 6
Can be treated as a trackball. In this case, it is necessary to switch the changeover switch 3 to the trackball mode.

The cable winder 1 is provided inside the personal computer 10. When the mouse 5 is inserted into the mouse housing 2, the dial installed on the personal computer 10 is turned.
The cable 1a for electrically connecting the personal computer 10 and the mouse 5 can be wound up and stored.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the electronic computer device according to the second aspect of the present invention, in which a dedicated table 7 for exclusively storing a mouse 5 for selecting an operation selection point displayed on a screen of a personal computer 10 is provided. The personal computer 10 and the dedicated table 7 are electrically connected by a cable 1a.

As shown in FIG. 5, a potch 4 for fixing the housed mouse 5 is mounted in the dedicated table 7 as in FIG. 3, and a ball 6 mounted on the back side of the mouse 5 is provided. Appearing upward, the operator can operate the ball 6 appearing face up as a trackball.

Normally, the mouse 5 is pulled out of the mouse storage section 2 as shown in FIG. 1 and used, and when not used, the cable 1a is connected to the cable winder 1 as shown in FIG.
The mouse 5 is stored in the mouse storage unit 2 with the back surface of the mouse 5 facing upward. However, the switch is switched from the mouse mode to the track mode before being stored.

When the right part 5c on the upper surface of the back of the mouse 5 is pushed in the housed state, the left push button 5a is pushed by the potch 4, and the function reversing device 3 provided in the changeover switch 3 is provided.
Since the function is reversed by “a”, the same state as when the right click of the mouse 5 (code transmission key) is performed is provided. Also, when the left part 5d is pushed in and the right push button 5b is pushed by the potch 4, the functions are reversed by the function reversing device 3a provided in the changeover switch 3, so that the mouse 5 Provides the same state as when left-clicking.

By providing a separate mounting table 7 having the same function as the mouse storage space as an option of the special mouse, a mouse and a trackball can be used in a general personal computer with only the special mounting table 7 and the special mouse 5. Can be realized.

As described above, by integrating the mouse so that it can be stored in the main body of the personal computer, it is possible to reduce the size (simplification) of the personal computer when not in use. Can be eliminated. In addition, the pointing device can be used as a mouse or a trackball.When both a mouse and a trackball are used, there is no need to purchase both a mouse and a trackball. There is no need to switch the connection to be dropped, and the reliability can be improved.

[0021]

According to the present invention, the operability of the electronic computer can be improved.
