KR20050018890A - Mouse to perform joystick function and keyboard input using tilt variance - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: A mouse to perform joystick function and keyboard input using tilt variance is provided to offer convenience for a computer game and a general application by performing diverse functions with one device to perform the joystick function and a partial keyboard input function. CONSTITUTION: Four push buttons are added to a general mouse function of a main body. A detector detects a status of the four push buttons according to movement of the mouse. A DSP(Digital Signal Processor) transfers an input signal to a PC.

Description

Mouse with joystick function and keyboard input {omitted}

The present invention is to install a push button on the four general mouse (Mouse) to add a joystick function and keyboard input function to perform a joystick function or keyboard input in the game, the keyboard application and keyboard shortcuts in the general application program can support It is about.

Input devices of computer games include a mouse, a keyboard, a joystick, and the like.

Conventional mouse devices support a plurality of signal lines connected to the pc main unit so that the cursor moves in the same direction when the mouse main body is moved in any direction, and a plurality of buttons are provided to select or execute items on the screen. It is provided.

The keyboard is a group of buttons that allow you to enter characters into your computer. It also has some special keys (control keys, expansion keys, etc.) for special functions besides character input.

The joystick is used to move the point on the screen in the form of a stick or pad that can take the point in any direction to indicate the direction of movement of the cursor, and has several buttons for performing special functions.

The present invention provides a convenience to the user by adding a keyboard function, a joystick function to the mouse device of the prior art.

In the mouse device according to the present invention for solving the above problems, the basic mouse function is the same as the existing mouse, as shown in Figure 1

1) Four push buttons are activated when the pressure is applied to the bottom of the mouse.

2) Add the additional push button of Fig. 2 (button for implementing additional functions) to the side or the top of the mouse (1 ~ 2 additional buttons already exist in 6 button mouse, etc. among existing mice)

3) On / off switch to select the function of the mouse of the present invention (general mouse function, joystick function, keyboard input function, general mouse function + joystick, general mouse function + keyboard input function)

4) The driving unit for transmitting the electrical signal generated by the direction detection unit (4 push buttons on the bottom) of the 1) to the system

5) The mouse consists of an additional button on the left side of the mouse and a mouse utility program that can define the roles of the four push buttons.

The usage of this mouse is to tilt the mouse up, down, left and right with the movement of the wrist to apply the pressure to the four push buttons installed in Fig. 1) to generate the desired input signal. In this process, make the middle of the mouse convex to smooth the movement of the mouse.

The four push buttons in Fig. 1) are called pressure points.

Upper left pressure point: a

Lower left pressure point: b

Lower pressure point: c

Idol pressure point: d

Example 1) When using this mouse with a general mouse function + an 8-way joystick function.

Eight cases with pressure points on:

a: Left upward direction on the joystick.

b: Lower left direction on the joystick.

c: Rightward direction on the joystick.

d: Rightward direction on the joystick.

a + b: leftward

b + c: down direction

c + d: right direction

d + a: upward direction

As described above, the original function of the mouse can be used while using the 8-way joystick function.

Alternatively, it can be used as a pure 8-way joystick, and the buttons on the mouse can be used as joysticks by redefining (using a mouse utility program that can redefine mouse input).

Example 2) When using this mouse with the mouse + keyboard input function

The value input in the embodiment 1) may be defined in a mouse utility program which can be changed by a specific key or a combination of keys of the keyboard.

Eight cases with pressure points on:

a: Corresponds to the keyboard 'Q' keystroke.

b: Corresponds to the keyboard 'W' keystroke.

c: Corresponds to the keyboard 'E' keystroke.

d: Corresponds to the keyboard 'R' keystroke.

a + b: Corresponds to the keyboard 'A' keystroke.

b + c: Corresponds to the keyboard 'S' keystroke.

c + d: Corresponds to the keyboard 'D' keystroke.

d + a: Corresponds to the keyboard 'Alt + F' keystrokes.

The key value can be set arbitrarily.

According to the on / off state of the additional push button shown in FIG. 2 to the four pressure points, the type of input value can be doubled.

The mouse device of the present invention performs a joystick function and some keyboard input functions in addition to the general mouse function, so that a user can perform various functions with a single device, which can be convenient when using a computer game or a general application.

In particular, in case of a handicapped person using only one hand, there is an advantage that all the basic functions required in the game can be executed with one mouse device.

1 is a view illustrating a state in which four push buttons are added to the bottom of a general mouse.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the mouse appearance of the present invention

3 is a side view of the mouse of the present invention

4 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a mouse device of the present invention;

Claims (2)

In the main body that performs the mouse function, Four push buttons added to the general mouse function of the main body; Sensing means for detecting a state of the push button according to the movement of the mouse; Mouse device including a digital signal processor for transmitting the input signal. In the game program, According to the movement of the mouse, a computer game, that is, a program that can move a character movement (object movement) or the like in a game in a predetermined direction, and a button click can also be applied by the number of movements.
