[Prior Art]

Known technologies such as the use of computer mice, whether mechanical or optical, are limited to having to be used on a desktop or mouse pad. The user places the hand on the table to push the mouse to determine the displacement track (including direction and distance), and converts the displacement track into data data. The input computer receives and then sends a control signal, which can be moved to correspond to the computer. Cursor of the screen. This type of mouse has limitations on the user's body, which is not only inconvenient; after long-term use, it often leads to discomfort of various human head and neck arms. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The design of the present invention changes the manner of use of the above-mentioned known techniques, and instead moves the finger in all directions to determine the displacement trajectory (including the direction and distance), which is a displacement trajectory that is made by moving the finger, and can be Recording and calculation, conversion into a cursor cursor after the implementation of 'running · computer implementation; the invention uses an innovative mechanism and induction method, the description is as follows and text, 2. The so-called mechanism of the present invention is as shown in the figure _ connecting a certain type of sensing element (--segment) 'links - fixed to the fingers of the human body, and the other is connected to the sensing elements. When the finger moves, the sensing element senses the displacement trajectory (including direction and distance); by means of the sensing function and corresponding calculation, the displacement trajectory is converted into data data, and the data data is converted into a screen cursor. Displacement, that is, can be transmitted to the computer to "line. The mechanism of the present invention is shown in the section 0 2, segmented U b, c form); and the sensing element becomes Figure 2 === 4 201137676 ==1 should be shaped by the element according to the need = link (four) fixed in the ^ wide, inside the plane, connected to a certain component, and the component i placed on the hexahedron is induced by f * phase.

After the initial use, the finger with the displacement track of the negative shell moves in all directions, that is, the link and the phase are connected at the same time, and the component is connected, and then the displacement signal is generated, and the displacement signal is sent to the input of the invention. The data processing unit of the device can calculate the displacement amount actually on the display device, and send the displacement amount to the processing unit of the computer or the interactive device to send a control signal to be displayed on the display. In addition, the finger of the left and right buttons and the scroll wheel presses the left and right buttons or the roller according to the operation and control to be performed, so that the input processing signal is transferred to the data processing unit and transferred to the computer or the interactive device for execution.
