Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to the mechanical design of the pencil input peripheral for fast and convenient computer control.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Nowadays, it is most often used as a peripheral device, so-called peripheral device, for simple and fast computer control. position indicator "X - Y", which is commonly known as "Mouse". Using such a mouse, the computer programs are controlled faster than from the keyboard. The user holds the mouse in his hand and moves it on the pad while its movement is transmitted by special sensors to move the cursor on the monitor. The development of the mouse shape and the number of its buttons was very rapid - a mouse with three buttons was introduced 5 years after the first public presentation of this technical solution. The mouse usually has a position sensor in the bottom of the body and two buttons from the top, a primary button (usually left) and a secondary button (usually right). The primary button is used most often. Most mice also feature a scroll wheel between buttons to help you scroll through the contents of documents and web pages. On some mice, the scroll wheel can be axially pressed to act as a third button. More complex mice can have additional buttons to perform additional functions. The position sensor, scroll wheel, primary, secondary, and other mouse buttons are interconnected according to the known electrical scheme by initially connecting the mouse to the computers via various special connectors, but over time the PS / 2 connector and / or the connector became stable. USB or COM. Nowadays, wireless mice based on radio, infrared or the latest Bluetooth wireless technology are increasingly being used. The wireless mouse is also located in the power source, eg. at least one pencil battery.

The body of such a device has a longitudinal shape of the body ergonomically designed to grip the hands from above so that the user can easily slide it by hand next to the computer keyboard on a clean and smooth surface, e.g. on the mouse pad. The movement of the mouse is transmitted by means of special sensors to move the cursor on the computer monitor. Known is a classic mechanical-optical mouse, which allows the input of two-dimensional information using a position sensor in the form of a ball placed rotatable in the bottom of the mouse with a resolution of about 200 to 2400 dpi. Furthermore, an optical mouse is known in which the position sensor (ball) is replaced by a light emitter and receiver, e.g. infrared (LED-based) and the like. Also known is an ultrasonic or radio mouse that works on a similar principle to the optical one, with the optical position sensor replaced by ultrasonic or radio, thus allowing three-dimensional data input to the computer, since the third coordinate is defined here by the distance of the mouse position sensor from the pad) and has a resolution of about 6000 dpi. The advantage of mouse and mouse-oriented programs is that most of the most commonly used functions are offered on the monitor in the form of a graphic symbol. If you want to activate the marked function, you have to press the button - mostly left (the term "click" is used). Using the mouse is more difficult to draw in graphics programs. Operation of the mouse must be ensured by the appropriate software, which is supplied directly by the manufacturer to this device.

Graphic drawing programs, especially for children, cannot be technically simply fully utilized by the aforementioned known technical devices and do not delight the users as much as possible while maintaining the possibility of using all their current functions.

Also known is a graphical input peripheral device in conjunction with a graphical display commonly referred to as an "optical pen". This device allows you to interact with the image on your computer. The pen has a pencil shape and is connected to a computer by a cable. In addition, it is usually equipped with so-called. A photoconductive element (eg a phototransistor) is located inside the pen. When the pen is placed on the screen at the appropriate point and confirmed with the confirmation button, the pen position is scanned. This is technically relatively simple, since the activation impinge occurs when the electron beam passes through the area where the pen is. At the moment when an activation pulse is detected, the computer recalculates the position of the point at the moment of activation based on synchronization, and the coordinates of the point on the computer screen are thus unambiguously quantified and determined.

The disadvantage of such a device is that it does not allow the use of graphics programs for drawing outside the computer's graphic display monitor and that it also does not allow other functions and possibilities such as the common position indicator "X - Y", ie. j. "Mouse".

The essence of the technical solution

The above-mentioned drawbacks are substantially eliminated by the pencil input peripheral actuator according to this technical solution formed by a longitudinal body with a position sensor, a rotary wheel of the microswitch,

EN 5302 Υ1 primary and secondary microswitch button electrically connected to the computer. The essence of the technical solution is that in the longitudinal pencil body there is a position sensor, above which the rotary knob of the microswitch is fixed and next to it a secondary microswitch button.

It is advantageous if a position sensor is mounted at the end of the longitudinal pencil body and a primary microswitch button is mounted in the longitudinal pencil body next to the rotary knob of the microswitch and the secondary microswitch button, or if the longitudinal pencil body is fixed or swiveled with the sensor head. In this case, the position sensor can be slidably mounted in the longitudinal pencil body or head, its upper position being the primary button of the microswitch. Alternatively, a position sensor may be mounted at the end of the longitudinal pencil body, and a primary microswitch button is fitted in the longitudinal pencil body below or above the rotary knob of the microswitch.

It is furthermore advantageous if a central button of the microswitch is mounted above the microswitch rotary knob in the longitudinal pencil body or if the microswitch rotary knob is axially extending to the central microswitch button.

It is also advantageous if a protrusion is formed above the rotary wheel or the same button of the microswitch in the longitudinal pencil body, which can form at least one additional microswitch button.

The device according to the invention makes it possible to easily use simple graphics programs for drawing on a computer outside of its graphics display monitor, and at the same time to perform all other functions and possibilities such as a common position indicator "X - Y", ie. j. “Mouse”, expanding the range of peripherals to quickly and easily operate your computer.
