Abstract

PURPOSE: A mouse using a video recognizing device is provided to achieve functional information of a mouse by adjusting a brightness and a resolution, thereby adjusting the number of processing data when the mouse is photographed using a PC camera and a variation of the mouse image is analyzed. CONSTITUTION: A function of a computer mouse is embodied using an image-recognizing device. A pattern is formed at the front portion of the mouse for recognizing a signal of a mouse. A color or a shape of the pattern is changed. An image-recognizing device recognizes the variation and processes the variation as a functional signal of the mouse, and transmits the signal to a mouse driver. Luminous units(21,22,23) are formed in the mouse, and a functional signal is formed. A movement-starting signal is formed by light sensors(27,28). A program of an image-recognizing device includes a process velocity selection function.

Description

화상 인식 장치를 이용한 마우스{A mouse with device of recognizing image}A mouse with device of recognizing image}

본 발명은 화상인식장치의 상 식별능력을 활용하여 마우스의 기능을 구현한 것이다. 기존의 마우스는 대부분 유선으로 되어 사용이 불편하였고 무선마우스는 복잡한 데다가 작업시 바닥접촉이 되어야 하고 가격 또한 상당히 비싼 단점이 있다.The present invention implements the function of a mouse by utilizing the image identification capability of the image recognition device. Most of the existing mice are wired, which is inconvenient to use, and the wireless mouse is complicated and has to be in contact with the floor during work.

이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위해서 본 발명은 요즘 화상통신 등에 널리 사용되는 PC카메라를 활용하여 마우스를 촬영하며 그 마우스영상의 변화를 분석하여 마우스의 기능정보로 삼고자 한다. 이러한 기능 구현에 장애가 되는 것은 처리속도일 것인 데 이를 해결하기 위해 명암비와 해상도등을 조절하여 처리데이타의 수를 조절할 수 있게 하였다. 이러한 기능이 소프트웨어로 구현되므로 마우스자체의 구조는 발광부와 스위치 정도의 매우 단순한 구조가 될 수 있다.In order to solve such a problem, the present invention intends to use a PC camera, which is widely used in video communication, to photograph a mouse and to analyze the change of the mouse image as function information of the mouse. The obstacle to the implementation of this function will be the processing speed. To solve this problem, the number of processing data can be adjusted by adjusting the contrast ratio and resolution. Since this function is implemented in software, the structure of the mouse itself can be a very simple structure such as a light emitting part and a switch.

도 1은 본 발명에 의한 마우스를 사용하는 예를 든 그림1 is an illustration of an example using a mouse according to the present invention

도 2는 상기 마우스의 부분 확대도로서 위는 마우스의 머리부분을 앞에서 본 모양이고 아래는 광센서가 설치된 마우스 버튼을 나타낸 것2 is an enlarged view of a part of the mouse, the upper part of which is seen from the front of the mouse, and the lower part of the mouse which shows a light sensor installed.

도 3은 상기 마우스의 동작을 나타낸 흐름도3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mouse.

도 4는 본 발명의 기능 수행에 사용되는 PC카메라를 운용하는 소프트웨어 흐름도4 is a software flowchart for operating a PC camera used to perform the functions of the present invention.

본 발명의 실시예에 의한 마우스의 사용방법은 도1처럼 컴퓨터(12)에 설치된 PC카메라(11)의 앞에서 마우스(12)의 발광부(21,22,23)를 앞으로 하여 검지손가락을 마우스버튼(26)에 대고 상하좌우(13)로 마우스를 움직이거나 버튼을 누르면 된다.In the method of using the mouse according to the embodiment of the present invention, the front of the PC camera 11 installed in the computer 12 as shown in Figure 1, the front of the light emitting portion (21, 22, 23) of the mouse 12, the index finger mouse button Move the mouse up, down, left, or right (13) to (26) or press a button.

도2는 상기 마우스를 부분 설명하기 위한 것으로 A는 마우스 머리의 앞면을 확대한 것인데 이것이 가진 원형의 외곽선(24)과 내부의 검은 사각형(25)은 화상인식을 할 때 마우스임을 나타내는 상징문양으로 삼는다. 이것은 처리속도(41)를 '고속'으로 선택하면 쓰여지지 않는다. 이 외부상징문양 속에는 또 하나의 상징문양이 있는 데 이것은 발광부(21,22,23) 문양으로서 점등 시에만 드러나게 하였다. 여기서는 원형발광 형태로 만들었는데 다양한 모양이 가능하며 도2 (A)에서 21은 점등, 22,23은 소등된 상태를 나타낸다. 이 발광부는 도3의 흐름도에 의해 발광된다. 먼저 마우스포인터를 움직이기 위하여 마우스버튼(26)의 상부에 검지 손가락을 얹으면 1번 발광부(21)가 점등되고 마우스의 움직임이 끝나면 손을 떼어 소등시키게 된다. 그 동안 이 불빛이 움직이는 것을 화상인식처리 프로그램(도4)이 감지 및 계산을 하여 마우스포인터의 이동정보로 삼는다. 이것과는 독립적으로 일반 마우스의 좌클릭에 해당하는 것(여기서는 상부버튼)이 눌려지면 1,2번(21,22) 두 개가 점등된다. 이 역시 움직임을 화상감지시켜 드래그 기능을 구현할 수도 있다. 또 우클릭(여기서는 하부버튼)이 눌려지면 1,2,3번(21,22,23) 3개 모두 점등되어 우클릭 신호를 전달하게 된다.Figure 2 is for explaining the part of the mouse A is to enlarge the front of the mouse head it has a circular outline 24 and the inner black square 25 is a symbol symbol indicating that the mouse when image recognition. . This is not written if the processing speed 41 is selected as 'high speed'. There is another symbolic symbol in this external symbolic glyph, which is a light emitting part (21, 22, 23). Here, it is made in the form of a circular light emission, and various shapes are possible, and in FIG. 2 (A), 21 is lit and 22, 23 are unlit. This light emitting portion emits light by the flowchart of FIG. First, when the index finger is placed on the upper part of the mouse button 26 to move the mouse pointer, the first light emitting unit 21 is turned on and when the movement of the mouse is finished, the hand is turned off. In the meantime, the movement of the light is sensed and calculated by the image recognition processing program (Fig. 4) as the movement information of the mouse pointer. Independently of this, if the one corresponding to the left click of the ordinary mouse (in this case, the upper button) is pressed, two (1, 2, 21, 22) light up. This can also implement a drag function by detecting the motion image. In addition, when the right click (lower button here) is pressed, all three 1,2,3 (21, 22, 23) lights up to transmit the right click signal.

이상과 같이 본 발명의 실시예에 의한 마우스는 매우 단순한 구조이다. 광센서스위치(27,28) 하나, 버튼 스위치(26) 둘, 발광다이오드(21,22,23) 세 개면 다 만들어 진다. 여기서 발광부를 한 개로 하고 대신 좌, 우클릭 정보를 통신모듈을 써서 발광 펄스열로 만들어 전송하는 기법을 쓰면 외관상으로는 더 단순한 구조로 될 수 있다. 또 깃발신호처럼 전기적발광부를 쓰지 않고 기계적 조작에 의해 마우스 전면부의 색깔과 문양이 바뀌게 하면 도3의 발광부를 대치만 하게 되므로 이들의 조합에 의해 단순이동, 좌클릭, 우클릭 등의 마우스 신호를 형성시키면 전지를 쓰지 않는 마우스도 만들어진다.As described above, the mouse according to the embodiment of the present invention has a very simple structure. One light sensor switch 27 and 28, two button switches 26, and three light emitting diodes 21, 22 and 23 are made. In this case, the light emitting unit may be used, and the left and right click information may be converted into a light emitting pulse string by using a communication module, and thus a simple structure may be apparent. In addition, if the color and pattern of the front part of the mouse are changed by mechanical manipulation without using the electric light emitting part as a flag signal, the light emitting part of FIG. 3 is replaced only. A battery-free mouse is also made.

이러한 발광신호와 움직임은 PC카메라(11)에 의해 감지되어 도4의 흐름도에 의해 처리된다. 먼저 처리속도선택(41)을 하게되는 데 이것은 사용자가 미리 선택하는 것으로서 고속을 선택하면 명암비를 높게하고 해상도는 낮게하여 처리할 데이터양을 적게하여 처리속도를 매우 높일 수 있다. 대신 유사 광원 등에 의한 오감지의 문제를 어느 정도 감수해야한다. 보통을 선택하면 일반적인 수준의 화질로 마우스 상징문양 자체를 찾게 되므로 오감지의 문제를 막을 수 있게 된다. 대신 속도는 상대적으로 느려지게 될 것이다.Such light emission signals and movements are detected by the PC camera 11 and processed by the flowchart of FIG. First, the processing speed selection 41 is performed, which is selected by the user in advance. When the high speed is selected, the contrast ratio is increased and the resolution is low, thereby reducing the amount of data to be processed, thereby greatly increasing the processing speed. Instead, the problem of erroneous detection by a similar light source should be taken to some extent. If you select Normal, you will find the symbol of the mouse at the general level of image quality, which will prevent the problem of misdetection. Instead, the speed will be relatively slow.

마우스에서 점등이 되면 이 PC카메라 프로그램(도4)은 원형 발광부수를 파악하고 그 수에 따라 단순이동, 좌클릭, 우클릭으로 감지하게 되며 마우스의 이동시 화면속의 위치변화로 이동량도 측정하여 마우스포인터의 이동정보로 형성시킨다. 이 정보를 마우스 드라이버로 전달하며 이후 이루어지는 과정은 일반마우스 신호 처리 과정에 따른다.When the mouse is turned on, the PC camera program (Fig. 4) detects the number of circular flashes and detects the movement by simple movement, left click, and right click. The movement amount is also measured by changing the position in the screen when the mouse moves. It is formed by movement information. This information is transmitted to the mouse driver, and the subsequent process is based on general mouse signal processing.

본 발명은 기존의 마우스가 가지는 휠마모, 먼지 등의 이물질에 의한 고장, 공중 조작 불가 등의 문제를 해결하고 극히 간단한 부품으로 이루어지므로 PC카메라만 있다면 매우 편리한 마우스를 아주 저렴한 가격에 사용할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다.The present invention solves problems such as wheel wear, dust and other foreign matters that cannot be manipulated by air, and cannot be manipulated by air, and is made of extremely simple parts. To provide.
