Abstract

PURPOSE: A hand attached small pointing apparatus using an accelerator is provided for measuring a position using an accelerator without searching the position using a ball mouse or an optical mouse for thereby overcoming an inconvenience that the hand is moved to the pointing apparatus when using the keyboard. CONSTITUTION: In a state that a ball(1) of a ball mouse is contacted with a flat surface, when the ball mouse is moved, the ball is rolled. A vertical roller(2) and a horizontal roller(3) are positioned at an angle of 90 deg. and are contacted each other. Therefore, as the ball is rolled, both rollers are rolled. At this time, the vertical roller corresponds to the vertical movement of the cursor on the screen, and the horizontal roller corresponds to the left and right movements of the cursor. Each roller is connected with a wheel called as an encoder(4). When the roller is rolled, the encoder is also rolled.

Description

가속도계를 이용한 손 부착용 소형 포인팅 장치{.}Handheld pointing device using accelerometer {.}

본 발명은 가속도계를 이용한 2차원 포인팅 장치에 관한 것으로서, 일반적으로 포인팅 장치는 표시 화면상에서 커서의 위치를 제어하기 위한 장치이다. 현재 컴퓨터에 사용되고 있는 포인팅 장치로서는 마우스가 대표적이다.The present invention relates to a two-dimensional pointing device using an accelerometer. In general, the pointing device is a device for controlling the position of a cursor on a display screen. A mouse is a typical pointing device currently used in computers.

도 1은 볼 마우스의 내관을 도시한 도면으로, 도 1에 도시되어 있듯이, 볼 마우스의 볼(1)을 평평한 표면에 닿게 하여 볼 마우스를 움직이면 볼이 회전하게 된다. 한편 수직 롤러(2)와 수평 롤러(3)는 서로 90°의 각도로 위치하고, 각각 볼에 맞닿아 있기 때문에, 볼이 회전함에 따라 두 롤러도 회전하게 된다. 이때 수직 롤러는 표시 화면상에서 커서의 수직 운동에 상응하고, 수평 롤러는 커서의 좌우 운동에 상응한다.FIG. 1 is a view showing an inner tube of a ball mouse. As shown in FIG. 1, when the ball mouse is moved by touching the ball 1 of the ball mouse to a flat surface, the ball rotates. On the other hand, since the vertical rollers 2 and the horizontal rollers 3 are positioned at an angle of 90 ° to each other and are in contact with the balls, the two rollers also rotate as the balls rotate. At this time, the vertical roller corresponds to the vertical movement of the cursor on the display screen, and the horizontal roller corresponds to the left and right movement of the cursor.

각 롤러는 엔코더(4)라는 휠에 연결되어 롤러가 회전할 때 엔코더도 회전한다. 각 엔코더의 회전량, 즉 마우스의 이동량에 비례하는 신호가 각 엔코더로부터 발생되어 one chip controller(5)를 통해 컴퓨터로 전달된다.Each roller is connected to a wheel called an encoder 4 so that the encoder rotates as the roller rotates. A signal proportional to the amount of rotation of each encoder, that is, the amount of movement of the mouse, is generated from each encoder and transmitted to the computer through the one chip controller 5.

컴퓨터는 마우스로부터 신호를 받아서 해당하는 표시 화면상의 위치에 커서를 표시하게 된다.The computer receives the signal from the mouse and displays the cursor at the location on the corresponding display screen.

한편, 볼 마우스의 꼭대기에는 버튼(6,7)이 있는데, 각 버튼을 누르게 되면 이에 대한 신호가 또한 one chip controller를 통해 컴퓨터로 전달된다.At the top of the ball mouse, on the other hand, there are buttons (6,7), which are pushed to each other and the signal is also sent to the computer via one chip controller.

현재의 마우스는 여러 가지 면에서 단점을 가지고 있는데, 먼저 볼 마우스를 보면 기계적인 장치의 접촉에 의한 불완전하게 전달되는 신호와 수명이 짧다는 특성이 있다. 또한 광 마우스는 반드시 마우스의 감도를 인지하는 마우스 패드 위에서 사용해야 한다는 단점이 있다.The current mouse has disadvantages in many ways. First, the ball mouse has a characteristic that signals are incompletely transmitted by the contact of a mechanical device and the life is short. In addition, the optical mouse must be used on the mouse pad that recognizes the sensitivity of the mouse.

또한 이 마우스들은 반드시 평면에 접촉해야만 한다는 것과 키보드 사용중에 마우스를 사용하기 위해서는 키보드 작업을 중단하고 마우스로 손을 움직여 마우스를 동작시킨다. 이후 다시 키보드로 손을 위치시킨 후 작업을 수행해야 한다는 불편함이 있다. 또한 팔과 손목으로 움직여야 하기 때문에 손으로 감싸쥐기 편하게 어느 정도 이상의 크기를 가져야 한다.In addition, these mice must be in contact with a plane, and in order to use the mouse while the keyboard is in use, the mouse must be interrupted and the mouse moved to operate the mouse. After that, it is inconvenient to place the hand on the keyboard and perform work. In addition, the arm and wrist must be moved to a certain size so that you can easily wrap around the hand.

본 발명의 목적은 상기와 같은 단점을 가진 마우스와 같은 포인팅 장치를 보완, 발전시키기 위해 본 발명을 제안하는데 먼저 볼 마우스와 같은 기계적인 접촉이 없으므로 인해 접촉에 의한 불완전한 신호 전달은 발생하지 않으며 기계적인 수명에 영향이 없고 포인팅 장치가 반드시 패드나 평면에 접촉할 필요가 없다. 또한 가장 큰 불편함으로 작용했던, 키보드 사용 중의 마우스를 사용하기 위해 손을 이동시켰던 일이 필요 없게 된다.An object of the present invention proposes the present invention to supplement and develop a pointing device such as a mouse having the above disadvantages, first, because there is no mechanical contact, such as a ball mouse, incomplete signal transmission by the contact does not occur and mechanical There is no impact on life and the pointing device does not necessarily have to touch the pad or the plane. It also eliminates the need to move hands to use the mouse, which used to be the biggest inconvenience.

본 발명에 사용되는 가속도계는 현재 크기가 상당히 작아지고 있기 때문에 손등이나 손가락 등에 설치할 수 있으며 이 소형장치로 인해 설치할 공간이 필요 없으며 위치를 이동시킬 때도 편리하게 된다.The accelerometer used in the present invention can be installed on the back of the hand or the finger, etc., since the current size is considerably smaller, and this compact device does not require a space for installation and is convenient when moving the position.

상기한 목적을 위해 구성된 본 발명은,The present invention configured for the above object,

외부 물체와의 마찰에 의한 회전을 이용한 방법이 아닌, 위치의 이동을 측정하여 화면에 표시하는 제어 장치에 관한 것이며, 또한 상기 버튼이 손가락의 두 번째 마디에 형성되어 사용자가 엄지와 검지 손가락을 통해 버튼을 누를 수 있도록 하는 것을 특징으로 한다.The present invention relates to a control device that measures a movement of a position and displays it on the screen, not a method using rotation by friction with an external object. Also, the button is formed on the second node of the finger so that the user may use the thumb and index finger. Characterized in that the button can be pressed.

이하 첨부된 도면에 의해 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, described in detail by the accompanying drawings as follows.

도 2는 손등에 설치된 포인팅 장치를 나타낸 개략도로, 가속도계(8)와 one chip controller(5)가 손등에 설치되고 button(6, 7)은 검지 손가락에 고정된다. 또한 반지형태의 고정고리(9)로 고정시킨다.2 is a schematic diagram showing a pointing device installed on the back of the hand, in which the accelerometer 8 and the one chip controller 5 are installed on the back of the hand and the buttons 6 and 7 are fixed to the index finger. It is also fixed by the ring-shaped fixing ring (9).

도 3은 손가락에 반지와 같은 형태로 고정된 포인팅 장치를 나타낸 개략도로 가속도계(8)와 one chip controller(5)가 손가락에 고정된다.3 is a schematic diagram showing a pointing device fixed in a ring-like shape to a finger, in which an accelerometer 8 and one chip controller 5 are fixed to a finger.

도 4는 손등에 설치된 포인팅 장치의 실시 예를 나타낸 개략도이다.Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a pointing device installed on the back of the hand.

장치의 button을 사용할 때는 엄지손가락을 자유롭게 사용할 수 있는 위치에 설치하기 위해 검지 손가락에 button을 설치하였다.When using the button on the device, a button was placed on the index finger to place the thumb freely.

이상에서와 같이 손등이나 손가락 등에 끼워서 사용함으로서 전체적인 크기가 작아지고, 손등의 이동만으로 커서를 제어하기 때문에 사용이 간단하여 진다. 또한 볼이 접촉하여 회전시 필요한 공간도 필요없기 때문에 컴퓨터외의 주변공간이 필요 없게 된다.As described above, the size is reduced by using it on the back of a hand or a finger, and the use is simplified because the cursor is controlled only by the movement of the back of the hand. In addition, since the ball does not need the space required for the rotation of the rotation, there is no need for a peripheral space other than the computer.

이런 고정된 위치가 필요 없게 됨으로 인해, 이동시 편리하게 사용하기 때문에, 비행기나 이동중인 차내 등의 좁은 좌석에서도 정확한 제어를 수행할 수 있게 된다.Since the fixed position is not necessary, it is convenient to use when moving, so that accurate control can be performed even in a narrow seat such as an airplane or a moving vehicle.
