Description of the invention () The present invention relates to a computer cursor control device, especially a computer cursor control device with serial input, which allows multiple computer cursor control devices to be interconnected to form a combined computer cursor control device. Computer cursor control devices such as touch devices, mice, trackballs, joysticks, etc. are generally used to control the movement of cursors or graphics on the fluorescent screen or to receive user input such as signatures. This cursor control device can be integrated into the casing of a notebook computer or it can be made into a separate unit, which is connected to the computer by a suitable transmission line. When such a cursor control device is manufactured as an independent unit, each unit will occupy the 1/0 (input / output) port of a computer independently and not allow other cursor control devices to share the same I / O port with it . In addition, although these cursor control devices can also generate input signals for controlling computer applications, each cursor control device has its own very special input capabilities and is usually suitable for different applications. For example, a touch device is a good choice for entering user signatures. However, a mouse is good for input as a graphical application, while a joystick is suitable for cursor input for computer games. So far, there is no simple and feasible way to solve the problem of using multiple cursor control devices with different input capabilities in an application software while only using a single I / O port as its input channel. The only way to complete the functions of the above cursor control device is to connect some different cursor control devices to many I / O ports, and then modify the software application so that the software application receives two input letters from each I / O port.

The touch device 10 includes a touch panel 丨 6 for generating the first control signal , A keyboard 20 is used to generate the first key signal 'an auxiliary input / output port 22 is used to electrically connect another computer cursor control device, such as the mouse 12 shown in FIG. 1 that can generate the second cursor control signal and the second key signal A control unit 30 is electrically connected to the touch panel 16, the keyboard 20 and the auxiliary input / output port 22 'are used to receive the first and second sets of cursor control signals and key signals, and transmit the received signals via the transmission line 2 8 to the computer 26. The control unit 30 is a printed circuit board (not shown) disposed in the housing of the touch device 10. The control unit 30 includes one electrically connected to the touch panel 16 and the first microprocessor 32 of the keyboard 20 for receiving the first cursor control signal and the first key signal, and the second microcomputer electrically connected to the first microprocessor 32 and the auxiliary input / output port 22 Processor 34, used to receive The second cursor control signal and the second key signal, and transmits the received signal to the computer 26. The second microprocessor 34 includes a first buffer 36 for storing the signal from the first microprocessor 32 , A & a second buffer 38 is used to store the signal from the auxiliary input / output device 22, so that when the signal comes from the first micro-burial and $ 32 and the auxiliary input and output port 22, these data can be guaranteed It will not be missed. Because the first and second cursor control signals and the first, :: button keys are randomly generated at any time, the second micro-controller 36 needs the second buffer to transmit the Received and stored in the second _ 4 The paper size is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X20mm) I II! — Si Yi In (the poem first read f and the notes and then fill this page) B7 V. Description of the invention () The signal in the punch is sent to the computer 26 as if it were generated by a single cursor control device. The present invention can transmit the first and second cursor control signals and the first and second key signals to the computer at the same time because the cursor control signals and key signals generated by most cursor control devices are the same. Different changes to the generation of the first and second cursor control signals and the first and second button signals can have different effects. For example, when the user is using the touch panel 16 or the keyboard 20 of the touch-sensitive device 10, the second microprocessor 34 disables the input of the auxiliary output input 22, so that Only one set of cursor control signal and key signal will be transmitted to this computer at a time. The second microprocessor 34 can also insert the device ID signal in the cursor control signal and key ig number during transmission. Thus, the application program executed on the computer 26 can know which cursor the received cursor input signal is from. Control device generated.
