Pen mouse device using CMOS sensor {PEN MOUSE APPARATUS USING CMOS SENSOR}

The present invention forms a pen-type mouse used to connect to a computer. The pen-type mouse has a CMOS sensor, a light emitting means, and an imaging lens, and applies a signal according to the action of the light emitting means and the imaging lens to the CMOS sensor. The present invention relates to a pen mouse device using a CMOS sensor that can be operated by moving a coordinate value on a screen of a monitor or the like by detecting a.

A mouse device used in a conventional computer is a device for indicating a position on a monitor when displaying on a computer system, and is composed of a ball and a function setting button which can extract coordinates.

However, such a conventional method requires a separate pad in order to smoothly rotate the ball in using the mouse, and even though the mouse operates on the pad, the coordinate axes operated according to the rotation of the ball may not be rotated correctly. There was often a non-occurring thing, and while the mouse is being held by the mouse, it is necessary to operate the click button provided in the mouse, and the movement for the movement of the mouse is cumbersome and the speed and accuracy of the coordinates are inferior. .

On the other hand, in view of the above drawbacks, a mouse having a combined optical sensor and a pad and a CM0S sensor have been developed in the coordinate detection method. However, the optical mouse has a coordinate detecting means and an optical mouse comprising a light emitting element and a light receiving element. Since the mouse pads were formed in different line patterns (Patent Publication No. 92-2254), the optical mouse also had to have a pad separately from the mouse, and precise cursor control such as graphic work was not easy. There was a problem that it is impossible to input directly to the screen structure.

The present invention has been devised to solve the conventional problems as described above, the present invention is to form a pen-type mouse used to connect to a computer, the pen-type mouse is provided with a CMOS sensor, a light emitting means, an imaging lens, the light emitting means, The present invention provides a pen mouse apparatus for operating a method of shifting coordinate values on a screen such as a monitor by applying an image formed by the action of an imaging lens to the CMOS sensor to detect coordinate values. In order to achieve the object, the present invention is provided with optical means for enlarging the coordinate image of the X, Y axis according to the light emission and light receiving operation, and a coordinate recognition unit for converting the coordinate value into an electrical signal and outputting the same. Pen-type coordinate position input means equipped with pressure sensing switch and click switch for selecting and executing icons , Intended to the coordinate detection is possible anywhere in the screen, such as, a desk, a curved surface, and the pen-like appearance is yirumyeonseo provide a pen mouse CM0S device using a sensor combination of the setting function of a conventional mouse.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In accordance with the present invention, optical means for enlarging the coordinate image of the X and Y axes and a coordinate recognition unit for converting the coordinate value into an electrical signal and outputting the same are displayed on the screen. Pen-type coordinate position input means equipped with a pressure sensing switch and a click switch for selecting and executing the coordinates, and the coordinate detection can be performed anywhere on a screen, a desk, a curved surface, etc. It consists of a mouse device using a CMOS sensor equipped with all.

As described above, the present invention has a light emitting means (3) which emits light from the pen when the tip of the mouse body (1) having a pen shape is contacted on an arbitrary monitor contact surface (2) such as a desk surface as shown in FIG. And an imaging lens (4) for reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting means on the screen (desk, curved surface) and applying the received light to the CMOS sensor (5). And a control means (6) having a photoelectric conversion circuit while amplifying and filtering the signal set according to the detected light to the CMOS sensor (5), and the control means (6).

In the pen-type mouse according to the present invention configured as described above, when the user moves the mouse main body 1 having the coordinate position input device on an arbitrary contact surface 2 such as a desk, a curved surface and a screen, the coordinate recognition unit is irradiated and In accordance with the light receiving operation, an electric signal is applied to the mouse controller through a cable to detect the current position of the mouse, thereby moving the cursor on the screen.

In this case, the user may select and execute an icon menu on the screen by pressing the click switch mounted on the coordinate position input device and the pressure sensor mounted on the pen portion.

That is, when the tip of the mouse body 1 is brought into contact with any contact surface 2 such as a desk surface, the light emitting means 3 emits light and the light emitted from the light emitting means is displayed on the screen (desk, curved surface). Reflected by the image forming lens 4, and when the formed image is applied to the CMOS sensor 5, the signal applied to the CMOS sensor 5 is amplified and filtered by the control means 6, The photoelectric conversion circuit calculates a coordinate value of the screen based on the detected optical signal and the converted value.

The coordinate values calculated by the control means 6 and the setting signals of the various functions are applied to the control means of the computer through the transmission means 7 which provide the control means of the computer through the mouse port and in accordance with the applied signals.
