Description

Versatile mouse gadget and its control method

The present invention relates to a multifunction mouse device having various functions in one mouse device and a control method of the multifunction mouse device.

A conventional mouse is a ball mouse or an optical mouse mainly used in the case of a general computer, and in a small computer such as a notebook computer or a palmtop computer to perform a mouse function using a trackball or a touch pad. Therefore, such devices in the related art generally have only one function of a mouse function, and it is generally impossible to perform a function such as text input. In addition, in the case of a general computer, a minimum work space necessary for the operation of a mouse and a keyboard is required separately, and when a security device such as a fingerprint recognition is required, a separate device and a separate space for the device are required. If you want to use them, the inconvenience of having to install and manage separately. In other words, even if you want to input a simple character such as e-mail transmission, there was a hassle of typing the keyboard separately from the mouse, and recently, the fingerprint input function when the security problem such as personal information leakage occurs seriously when using the Internet. There is a demand for a security device such as the back.

The present invention is economical and convenient by implementing all of a mouse function, a touch pad function, a character input function, a fingerprint input function, etc. in one device without separately configuring a conventional mouse, keyboard and fingerprint input device as described above. It is intended to provide a device and a control method of the device that can satisfy the security at the same time.

In the present invention, when the operator's finger (or object) contacts the sensor device, the sensor device detects the contact part and the non-contact part according to the curvature of the fingerprint ridge, and uses the coordinate values corresponding to the position of the sensor element as data. There are a variety of functions. Therefore, compared to a conventional touch pad, more precise movements can be detected, which is more efficient in drawing and drawing.

For example, in the case of the recently developed Internet TV, it is necessary to control not only the existing TV function but also the function to connect to the Internet by the remote controller. In such Internet communication, the mouse function is used for the miniaturized remote controller. And character input function is required, but it is difficult to fully implement the keyboard for character input on the remote controller, and even if it is implemented, it takes a long time because the operator has to input characters with one finger while looking at the small keys. Workers will feel tired easily. In addition, the fingerprint recognition function is the most appropriate method for maintaining such security at the present time when security functions in the leakage of personal information and internet commerce in the internet communication process are urgently required. Therefore, the above problems can be solved by providing these functions in one wireless multifunction mouse device.

In addition, since only simple functions are required to control a TV or a VCR, it can be controlled in a touch pad type so that the operator can control the electronic device by simply touching a certain part of the pad without the inconvenience of having to find and press buttons one by one. Will be.

In addition, when using a miniaturized personal information and communication device such as a mobile phone, when applying a multifunction mouse device to make a phone call, sending an e-mail, or searching the Internet, it is possible to easily replace a number of keys on the mobile phone. Phone number or text can be input, and fingerprint input function can be used to prevent the use of others or leakage of personal information.

With reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the multifunction mouse device and its control method of the present invention.

In the multifunction mouse device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the sensor device 12, which is densely arranged with fine sensor elements 11 having X and Y coordinate planes, as shown in FIG. It will be located at the top or the center of. In the sensor device 12, a pressure sensor, a heat sensor, and various sensors capable of recognizing a feature point of a fingerprint may be used. The sensor element 11 is sensitive enough to read a fingerprint. It must be precise.

Fingerprint identification can be obtained by examining a feature point (such as the end point or branch point of a fingerprint ridge) that is known to exist on average about 100 per finger. That is, if two fingerprints are compared and it is determined that 12 or more feature points are matched, it may be assumed that they are the same fingerprint.

Conventional fingerprint sensors detect the feature points as a tendency of the flow between the protruding part of the fingerprint (hereinafter referred to as the floor) and the protruding part (hereinafter referred to as the valley) to detect their feature points, The fingerprint is determined by comparing and analyzing the feature points. Therefore, the size of the sensor element 11 arranged in the sensor device described above should be small enough to read the fingerprint. That is, the sensor device 12 is arranged in two dimensions, and the distance between the sensor element 11 itself and the adjacent sensor element 11 is the normal thickness of the floor and the valley of the fingerprint and the distance thereof. Decide by considering.

When the finger contacts the sensor device 12, the floor of the finger is in contact with the sensor element 11, and the sensor element 11 receives the stimulus (stimulus such as pressure or heat) for a predetermined value or more. It has a digital value of "1" with respect to the coordinate value of the sensor element 11. Therefore, the coordinates corresponding to the sensor element 11 in contact with the floor with respect to the X and Y coordinates corresponding to all the sensor elements 11 of the sensor device 12 correspond to the value of "1" and correspond to the remaining valleys. As a part, the coordinates corresponding to the sensor element where the stimulus is not detected and the coordinates of the region where the finger is not in contact have a value of "0".

In the fingerprint input mode, data about coordinates obtained through such a path is analyzed only for coordinates having a digital value of 1, which is the floor. Will be judged

In contrast, in the touchpad mode, the mouse mode, and the character input mode, as shown in FIG. 2, the geometric shape 23 (near the ellipse) consisting of the coordinates of the sensor elements having a digital value of "1" in contact with the above floor is shown. 24) and the four sides of the rectangle (25, 26) is arbitrarily configured to perform the command with the coordinates (21, 22) corresponding to the center of the rectangle as an input value.

For example, when the X, Y coordinate value is [X, Y], the uppermost coordinate value of the coordinates having the value of "1" is [17,40], and the lowest coordinate value is [20,10], when the leftmost coordinate is [2,30] and the rightmost coordinate is [50,25], the central coordinate is 26, which is the intermediate value between 2 and 50. The Y coordinate is 25, which is the intermediate value between 10 and 40, and becomes [26,25].

That is, in the touch pad mode, the mouse mode, and the text input mode, the center coordinate value can be known only by the four outermost coordinate values of the contact surface.

In the touch pad mode, a certain command corresponding to the area where the center coordinate of the contact surface is located is performed.

In the mouse mode, as shown in FIG. 2, the mouse is sensed by comparing the initial center coordinate 21 with the center coordinate 22 after the movement, and the display driving unit 19 detects the movement of the mouse. Will move the cursor.

Also, in the character input mode, the form formed by the movement of the center coordinate value is analyzed, and the character is output by comparing the value with the form of the memorized characters.

Since the sensor device 12 is directly contacted by a finger, there is a risk of abrasion when used for a long time, and the performance may be degraded when contaminated by dirt, etc., so that the sensor device 12 is resistant to abrasion that does not harm the sensitivity of the sensor on the sensor device 12. It is preferable to coat a thin protective film having a film.

In addition, in order to protect the sensor device 12, a cover that covers the part corresponding to the sensor device 12 is separately installed, and when the multifunction mouse device is not used, the cover is covered to prevent damage to the sensor device. Do it.

3, 4, 5 and 6 are block diagrams of embodiments of the multifunction mouse device circuit of the present invention to achieve the above object.

3 is a block diagram of a first embodiment in which the multifunction mouse device is directly mounted on a personal portable small information communication device main body such as a mobile phone.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment in which a multifunction mouse device is applied to an electronic device body such as a general computer through an interface cable 31. As shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a third embodiment of the present invention, which includes a wireless transmitter 40 and a wireless receiver 43 in a multifunction mouse device, and a wireless receiver 41 and a wireless transmitter 42 in various electronic apparatuses such as a general computer or an Internet TV. Since the transmission and reception are freely performed between the mouse device and the main body of the electronic device, the control block can be mutually controlled.

FIG. 6 is a fourth embodiment, in which a wireless transmitter 40 is provided in a multifunctional mouse device, and a wireless receiver 41 is provided in an electronic device body such as a general computer or an Internet TV. It is a block diagram of the Example at the time of setting.

Referring to Figure 3 in detail as follows.

When a finger touches the sensor device 12, the sensor driver 13 is driven to detect the coordinates of the sensor elements 11 having a value of “1” by the magnetic pole of the floor and detect the coordinates of the data. It passes to the control unit 17. Here, the row and column registers 121 and 122 may be composed of sensors (or system circuits), and may be used to address and control respective sensor elements. The other row and column registers 123 and 124 may be provided as part of the sensor (or part of the system circuit) and may be used to collect data from individual sensor elements and to address individual sensor elements.

The controller 17 controls the functions of the touch pad, the mouse, character analysis and determination, fingerprint analysis and determination, respectively, from the coordinate information input from the coordinate detection unit 14 according to the current mode. At this time, the mode can be adjusted by the input from the key input unit 15, and in some cases, the mode is automatically changed according to the stored control sequence. For example, if the operator has placed an interrupt requesting fingerprint recognition on a predetermined path in advance, the mode is automatically changed to the fingerprint recognition mode when the operator wants to go through the path. Only if this is confirmed can the passage be made.

The controller 17 converts the input data according to the current mode and compares the data with the stored data of the memory 16 to perform the following functions.

In the touch pad mode, a signal for a corresponding command is output according to the position of the touched center coordinate.

In the mouse mode, it is determined whether the touched center coordinates and the movement of the center coordinates are moved, the cursor on the display 20 is moved through the display driver 19, and the key input signal from the key input unit 15 is determined. It outputs a command signal corresponding to a button click of a general mouse and special functions such as a scroll function or a speed control function of a mouse.

In the case of the character input mode, the movement of the touched center coordinate is determined and the shape formed according to the movement is analyzed, and the character intended by the operator is compared with the feature points of the shape of the memorized characters of the memory unit 16. Recognize and output the result. In addition, the operator enters characters more conveniently by using keys having various functions.

In addition, in the fingerprint input mode, as described above, data of coordinates having the digital value "1" detected by the coordinate detector 14 is input to the controller, and this data is subjected to the feature point extraction process, and then the memory unit 16 ) Is compared with the data consisting of the characteristic points (fingerprints of the broken line and branching points of fingerprints) of the registered fingerprint (fingerprints of the subscribers who have previously inputted fingerprints), and judges whether or not the identity is verified.

The processor 18 generally controls the multifunction mouse device and performs various commands according to the command signal output from the controller.

4 is described in detail as follows.

4 is a circuit block diagram of an embodiment in which the multifunction mouse device transmits and receives data to and from the main body of an electronic device such as a computer or an Internet TV through an interface cable 31. As shown in FIG. That is, the coordinate detection unit 14 sends the data detected through the sensor device 12 to the control unit 117, the control unit 117 whether the finger (or an object) touch operation and whether the touched finger (or object) is moved And it is determined whether the key operation by the key input unit 15 is transmitted to the control unit 17 of the main body of the electronic device via the transmitter 30 and the receiving unit 32 of the main body of the electronic device through the interface cable 31. At this time, the processor 118 serves to control the multifunction mouse device as a whole. The controller 217 of the main body of the electronic device performs the processes (touch pad process, mouse process, character analysis process, or fingerprint analysis process) according to the current mode using the received data as in the embodiment shown in FIG. do. The processor 218 of the main body of the electronic device controls the controller 217 as a whole and performs various commands according to the output signal from the controller 217.

In this case, since the multi-function mouse device and the main body of the electronic device can transmit and receive, a control signal can be sent to the multi-function mouse device even in the main body of the electronic device, thereby changing the current mode.

Referring to Figure 5 in detail as follows.

5 shows a wireless transmitter 40 and a wireless receiver 43 in a multifunction mouse device, and a wireless receiver 41 and a wireless transmitter 42 in various electronic devices such as a general computer or an Internet TV. The embodiment of the present invention is a block diagram of the case where the transmission and reception are freely performed between the main bodies of the devices. That is, in this case, the wired transceiving unit of the wired multifunction mouse in FIG. 4 is replaced with the wireless transceiving unit, so that the operator can freely use the multifunction mouse device. Wireless transmission and reception may use both infrared rays and radio waves, but when using radio waves, it is possible to reduce the inconvenience that the operator must be aware of the multi-function mouse device toward the main body when using infrared rays.

Referring to Figure 6 in detail as follows.

6 is a block diagram of the circuit shown in the embodiment in FIG. 5, wherein the wireless receiver 43 is removed from the multifunction mouse device, and the wireless transmitter 42 is removed from the electronic device main body. Although it can be controlled, but the electronic device body is an embodiment that can not control such as mode conversion of the multifunction mouse.

This has the advantage of lowering the manufacturing cost by simplifying the circuits of the multifunction mouse device and the main body of the electronic device, but the following inconveniences also occur when compared to the embodiment of FIG.

For example, when the current mode is the mouse mode, when the fingerprint input is required by the interrupt, when the wireless mouse device can transmit only (Fig. 6), the user separately changes the current mode to the fingerprint input mode. I need work. However, if the wireless mouse device and the main body can transmit and receive to each other and control each other (figure 5), the control of the wireless mouse device which switches the mode from the mouse mode to the fingerprint recognition mode on the main body is possible without this trouble. There is no need for a separate key operation by the operator.

Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment showing a state of use when the multifunction mouse device 1 of the present invention and the electronic device main body are connected wirelessly.

The currently selected current mode is shown on a portion of the display 20 (monitor, LCD or TV screen, etc.) of the main body of the electronic device, and the user makes a proper operation accordingly.

8 is a perspective view of a multifunction mouse device embodiment of the present invention.

The multifunction mouse device 1 of FIG. 8 is connected to the main body 100 of the electronic device through the interface cable 31 when the wire is wired, and the antenna 200 connected to the main body of the multifunction mouse device 300 and the wireless device 200 when connected to the main body. ) To transmit the data (see FIG. 7). In the case of wireless, when using infrared, a separate infrared transmitter and an infrared receiver are installed to transmit and receive.

The multifunction mouse device 1 may use ordinary batteries, and may be used as a rechargeable battery by separately preparing a charging cradle.

9 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the multifunction mouse device of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the multifunction mouse device 2 may be deformed to be easily gripped in its shape, and the shape of the sensor device 112 where the thumb is located is also square, round, elliptical, and star in addition to the rectangular shape. It can be modified to suit user's taste and convenience.

As shown in FIG. 10, the rear of the multifunction mouse device of the present invention is provided with four keys 71, 72, 73, and 74 to which four fingers are contacted except for the thumb. Each key performs various functions such as mode setting, conversion and command execution. These keys can be moved left and right (and may be partially movable) so that they can be gripped easily according to the size of the operator's hand or the length of the finger, and can be easily gripped when the mouse is used with the left hand. To facilitate the use of.

The following describes functions according to an embodiment of each of the keys.

To encode and explain the keys corresponding to the four fingers except for the thumb, each key is encoded as follows.

Let the key 71 for the second finger A, the key 72 for the third finger B, the key 73 for the fourth finger C, and the key 74 for the fifth finger D.

(The mode conversion key is described as an example in which the multifunction mouse device employs all four functions described above.)

First, in mouse mode, A = ENTER key, B = CANCEL key, C = mode switch key, D = scroll key / mouse speed control key.

A = ENTER key performs the same command as pressing the left mouse button on a normal mouse.

The B = CANCEL key performs the same command as pressing the right mouse button.

C = Mode switch key, press once to change to character input mode, press again to fingerprint input mode, press again to return to mouse mode.

D = Scroll Key / Mouse Speed Control Key is pressed once to scroll the screen by pressing the scroll key. At this time, the mode is automatically changed to Touch Pad mode, and the operator does not need to press the button in FIG. As shown, if the upper side of the four-minute sensor device is touched, the page scrolls upward, and in this manner, the user can scroll by touching the lower side, the right side, and the left side. Press D again to scroll back to mouse mode. If you press the D key twice in succession, [Double click], you are pressing the mouse speed control key. Pressing the A key increases the moving speed of the cursor on the display, and pressing the B key decreases the speed. When you finish adjusting the mouse, press D again to return to mouse mode.

In the character input mode, A = ENTER, B = SPACE BAR, C = Mode Switch key, and D = BACK SPACE BAR key.

The A = ENTER key performs the same function as the ENTER key on a regular keyboard (for example, when changing line names).

The B = SPACE BAR key performs the function of the SPACE BAR key on a conventional keyboard.

The C = mode switch key is pressed once to switch to mouse mode, press once more to fingerprint input mode, and press again to return to character input mode.

The D = BACK SPACE BAR key performs the function of the BACK SPACE BAR key on a conventional keyboard.

Also, in the character input mode, function keys necessary for the character input process such as SPACE BAR key or BACK SPACE BAR key on the ordinary keyboard are symbolized, and when the operator inputs these symbols on the sensor device, the function keys corresponding to each symbol are used. You can also control the command to be executed.

In the touch pad mode, as shown in FIG. 11, when the panel of the sensor device is divided into four diagonally to give a command corresponding to each part, the corresponding device of the sensor device corresponding to the command without a separate key input such as an enter key is required. The command is performed by touch operation on the part. A = ENTER, B = CANCEL, C = Mode Switch Key, D = Special Function Keys

When the D = Special Function Key is pressed, functions such as adjusting the contrast and saturation of the screen on the display 20, scheduled recording such as bedtime reservation and VCR, and the operator return to the initial screen (Fig. 13). The screen to select the function to go back is displayed and the operator selects one function with the touch pad and presses A = ENTER key to execute the selected function.

In fingerprint input mode, A = ENTER key, B = CANCEL key, C = mode switch key, D = special function key.

D = If you press the special function key, you can see the selection screen such as fingerprint re-entry and move to the initial screen like the touch pad mode, and the mode is automatically switched to touch pad mode so that the function selected by the operator is entered. This is done by pressing the key (A key).

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a partial process in the embodiment of the wireless multi-function mouse device for Internet TV when all four functions described above are employed in the present invention.

An embodiment of the initial screen of the Internet TV is shown in FIG. 13. The mode in which the initial screen is displayed is initialized to the mouse mode. If you select the Internet from the initial screen, the screen is changed to the homepage designated by the user and the mouse mode is maintained. If the user moves the cursor to the input window for entering a domain name to go to another internet address or presses the Enter key (A) while moving the cursor to the input window for searching a search, the mode is automatically The text input mode is changed. In this state, the user inputs letters (numbers, Korean, English, special characters, etc.) corresponding to the Internet address, and then presses the enter key (A) to go to the Internet address corresponding to the entered character, or a search command is performed. If you want to switch from text input mode to mouse mode during the text input process, press the key (C) to switch to mouse mode. If you move to another homepage, the mode will automatically switch back to mouse mode. When the user wants the scroll function, pressing the scroll key (click the D key once) in the mouse mode changes to the touch pad mode and places a finger on the sensor device corresponding to the top, bottom, left and right of the diagonally divided screen as shown in FIG. Touch to move the screen up, down, left, or right. In addition, if the user wants to adjust the mouse speed, press the mouse speed control key (double-click the D key) and press the enter key (speed up: A key) and the cancel key (speed down: B key). Pressing the speed control key again (click D once in this case) will return you to mouse mode. When the user shuts down the Internet, he is returned to the initial home screen.

When the user selects the TV or the VCR on the initial screen, as shown in FIG. 11, the sensor device is switched to the diagonally divided touch pad mode, and the command is performed by touching a part corresponding to the function. That is, in the case of touching the portion 81 corresponding to the upper side of the quartered area, the command to raise the channel in the TV state and the PLAY command in the VCR state are performed. In the case of the lower portion 82, the TV executes a command for lowering the channel, the VCR executes a PAUSE command when touched once, and a STOP command when touched twice. As shown in FIG. 11, the portions corresponding to the left 83 and the right 84 of the quadrant region also perform a function of increasing and decreasing the volume or winding the tape forward or backward. In addition, when the user presses a special function key, the mode is automatically changed to the mouse mode (or the touch pad mode is maintained), and the operator moves the cursor to select a function and press the Enter key (A key) to perform the selected function. .

In the fingerprint input mode, the user must set in advance which path the fingerprint input is required. If you want to control access to the Internet or TV from the initial screen, by interrupting this process in advance, fingerprint input is automatically required when all users cross this path. In the path requiring fingerprint input, a screen requesting fingerprint input is shown on the display. Accordingly, when the user presses the Enter key (A key) while the fingerprint part of the finger is in close contact with the sensor device, the fingerprint is recognized and the fingerprint is compared. After analyzing, it is determined who is the fingerprint and if the owner of this fingerprint can pass this path, it moves to the next screen. If the person cannot pass, the fingerprint is requested several times again before the fingerprint input step. Will return to. At this time, if the user who entered the fingerprint wants to return to the initial screen, press the special function key (D key), select the function to return to the initial screen, and press the enter key (A key).

As described above, according to the multi-function mouse device and the control method thereof according to the present invention, a single sensor device is used to integrate not only a mouse function but also a touch pad, a text input and a fingerprint recognition function, so that a user can select each input device. Minimizes the economic benefits of not having a separate device, the space occupied by separate devices and the space required for work, and adopting a wireless device eliminates the need for a separate remote controller and enables the operator to control electronic devices more conveniently. do. In particular, since a precise sensor element capable of fingerprint recognition is used, it is more effective than the conventional input device in the work requiring sophistication as shown in the drawing. In this case, the precision can be adjusted using the speed control function of the mouse. In addition, by integrating the remote controller for each device necessary for each electronic device, the electronic device can be easily operated. When applied to small communication devices such as mobile phones, the communication device itself can be miniaturized and the fingerprint input function can be minimized by minimizing the space required for the key panel. It is possible to obtain the security function by. In addition, unlike the conventional remote controller, which requires the user to look and operate the device, each finger is placed on the pad located on the upper front of the multifunction mouse device and the keys located on the back of the device. Can work quickly. In addition, the keys located on the back of the multi-function mouse device can be easily moved from side to side so that the user can place the keys in a convenient position so that they do not feel fatigue easily, and users who mainly use the left hand need a separate device. Not to.

In addition, more precise movements can be detected in comparison with a conventional touch pad, which is more efficient in drawing and the like.
