In addition, when the connecting portion 16 formed to connect the upper body 10 and the lower body 14 of the mouse body 1 is seated on the plate portion 13 of the upper body 10, Consists of a shape that can be matched with the connecting portion of the index finger 62 and the thumb 61, when the mouse body 1 is naturally grasped with the thumb 61 and the middle finger 63, the mouse body 1 is the thumb 61 And the index finger 62 and the middle finger 63 are in close contact with each other and are implemented to move the index finger 62 freely in the state.

Accordingly, the movement of the mouse from the wrist and palm-based type to the wrist and index-based type, and allows the user to use the mouse more easily and conveniently.

On the other hand, the computer main body should recognize the movement of the mouse and the signal output from the mouse so that the corresponding operation can be made, the position movement detection unit 20 to recognize the movement of the mouse.

The position movement detecting sensor unit 20 has a space in which the position movement detecting sensor 22, the sensor support plate 24, the signal processing device 30, and the handwriting character recognition unit 31 can be built. It is mounted in the space formed in the operation.

The position movement detection sensor 20 is in close contact with the end of the detection 62 and moves simultaneously with the end of the detection 62, the left and right twist of the position movement detection sensor 22 is limited by the contact of the lower surface of the lower body 14 In order not to receive, in order to make the wrist to the floor, the lower portion of the lower body (14) is manufactured so as to have a frontal nimbus and the front and rear shape.

Accordingly, the position movement detecting sensor 20 manufactured as described above has a position movement detecting sensor mounted on a space cut in the front lower end of the lower body 14 even if the user moves the mouse body 1 in any direction. (22) touches the ground plane.

That is, when the main body 1 is lifted up, the position movement detecting sensor 22 is bent slightly downward, and when the front body 10 is pressed with the index 62, the support plate 24 is bent upward, and the mouse main body ( When 1) is tilted left and right, the position movement detecting sensor 22 and the support plate 24 are twisted, and thus the entire ground plane of the sensor 22 is always in close contact with the ground.

In addition, a handwritten character input detecting unit 26 is provided at one side of the upper end of the support plate 24, and the handwritten character input detecting unit 26 uses the index finger 62 to allow the user to use the front end of the upper body 10.

It is arranged so that it can be recognized, and the visual afterglow is maintained to increase the memory of the user so that when the buttons 62, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 are operated with the index finger 62, the crosstalk can be prevented and a false operation can be avoided. .

And, the pointing work that we often perform using the mouse is to move the cursor to the corresponding position by appropriately moving the index finger 62 and the entire hand while maintaining the basic gripping state, and the click ends the index 62 in that state. Lightly press the corresponding button (41, 42). And drag (Drag) also keeps the state while moving the mouse body (1) while pressing lightly the corresponding button (41,42).

On the other hand, when writing or drawing a character using the mouse body (1) in the basic gripping state slightly while pressing the index finger 62 slightly while pressing the stop (63) slightly, the position movement detection sensor 22 is connected to the ground plane Compression is performed so that the bottom surface of the main body 1 is slightly separated from the ground plane.

At this time, if the end of the detection (62) is above a specific button, the signal that the button is pressed and the pressing signal of the handwriting character input detecting unit 26 pressed by the support plate 24 and the movement signal of the position movement detecting sensor 22 are simultaneously the handwriting character. The handwriting character recognition unit 31 is sent to the recognition unit 31, and the handwriting character recognition unit 31 recognizes the pattern of these signals and outputs the character / code to the computer main body.

Of course, if the end of the detection 62 is not the button position, only the pressing signal of the handwriting character input detecting unit 26 pressed by the support plate 24 and the moving signal of the position movement detecting sensor 22 are simultaneously transmitted.

If you want to draw another line immediately after the force applied to the end of the index finger 62 is briefly removed while moving to the position of the new line to reach the point while pressing the end of the index (62). That is, the index finger 62 may move to the concept of writing on the ground. And to complete the line completely, it is enough to switch to the basic gripping state while removing the force applied to the end of the index 62 in the above state.

Here, if a little force is applied to the end of the index finger 62 to draw a line, the sensor 22 is pressed against the ground plane by the unique structure of the mouse body 1 even if the user does not intend it, and the lower surface of the lower body 14 is slightly It is separated from the ground plane and is not restricted by the transport. That is, when the index line 62 is drawn on the plane, the force is applied to the tip of the index line 62 reflexively, and the above operation is continued, which is not expected in the current mouse.

In addition, when the user inputs a character / sign using the handwriting character recognition unit 31, when the user needs to change a line, erase a typo, or input a space, the button unit 40 provided in the upper body 10 plate part is provided. By pressing the Enter key 43, the Back Space key 44, the Space key 45 and the like with the index finger 62, the corresponding operation can be made.

Of course, as well as the above-described key can be placed additionally used keys, in this case, by changing the shape of the upper body 10 to ensure a space to expand the button portion. For example, by changing the structure of the upper portion and the plate portion 13 in front of the upper body 10 to the mushroom head shape to secure a space. The design can be variously modified by those skilled in the art.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art, which are included in the spirit and scope of the present invention included in the appended claims.
