Abstract

An ergonomic pointing device, such as a mouse, includes a wheel to provide an input signal in addition to X and Y position signals provided by a rotatable ball of a standard mouse. The wheel extends from an upper surface of the pointing device and may be rotated and depressed by the finger of the user, the wheel being positioned and configured to allow a user to activate the wheel while maintaining a finger in a biomechanically neutral position. The wheel and associated structure, as well as the forces required to rotate and depress the wheel, are configured to reduce inadvertent actuation and to provide a user with tactile feedback, thereby allowing the user to accurately and intuitively activate the pointing device without exceeding an acceptable extension and range of motion for the user's finger and wrist. The mouse is coupled to a computer having a visual display device. The computer is capable of displaying a data file such as a word processing or spreadsheet document, where the data file has adjustable display characteristics such as size (zoom) or data structure (content). As a user rotates the roller, the mouse generates computer signals that are interpreted by an operating system and software applications running on the computer. The signals generated by the roller, together with a given software application, can be used in at least two ways: spatial navigation and data navigation. In spatial navigation, a user rotates the roller to cause the computer and the visual display to zoom into and out of the document and thereby display increasing or decreasing magnification levels of the document on the display. Other modes of spatial navigation allow the user to activate a roller switch, depress special function keys on a keyboard and/or move the mouse to pan, automatically scroll or manually scroll through the document. In data navigation, the user rotates the roller to view differing levels of content or detail with respect to the document.

Description of the invention (1) The turn of the previous application Part of the US patent application 08 / 583,650 filed on the Japanese filing application continued. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of a system and method that receives input signals from computer input devices such as ergonomic pointing devices and provides signals such as user commands to a computer for adjustment Displayable data files such as documents. Background of the Invention Various computer input devices have been used to provide various input signals to computers for certain applications. For example, for most applications, the keyboard is the ideal method for inputting alphanumeric characters to a computer. The joystick is usually used with video game software to provide a two-dimensional position signal according to the movement of the wrist. For the position signal corresponding to the movement in the plane of the computer screen, or the position signal corresponding to the movement perpendicular to the computer screen (that is, the virtual movement of moving in and out of the screen), the joystick can be quite straightforward Provide this position signal. However, rockers are quite bulky and sometimes seem clumsy, especially in a commercial environment. In contrast, most computer pointing devices such as mice and trackballs are less bulky. Both the mouse and the trackball include a part of a casing enclosing a rotatable sphere, and one or more activation buttons are provided. The electronic encoder senses the rotation of the sphere and generates a signal (" count ") indicating the rotation of the sphere. This count is used to control the size and direction of the two-dimensional movement of a cursor or pointer on the computer display screen. However, this kind of mouse only provides the corresponding two-dimensional movement -4-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) nm nn t ^ i— n ^ i I f.

U.S. Patent 5,298,919 to Chang and U.S. Patent 5,313,230 to Venolia et al. Describe some mice that can provide a three-dimensional position signal. Such mice are positioned on a two-dimensional visual stool display device in an imaginary way In three dimensions. These patents describe a mouse input device with a rotatable sphere and a thumbwheel to provide input signals corresponding to three-dimensional movement.

The device disclosed by Chang and Venolia et al. States that only three-dimensional position signals are provided to a computer. As mentioned above, the standard mouse and trackball only provide two-dimensional position signals to a computer. However, there is currently a need for a more reliable input system for providing various input signals to a computer, not only controlling the three-dimensional position of an object, but also controlling other options or attributes of the object. Printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page). However, several of these existing pointing devices that can provide multiple input signals to a computer have some disadvantages: The pointing device is less comfortable or difficult to use, especially after a long period of use. This phenomenon can be proved from several aspects. For example, after operating the pointing device for a long time, the user's fingers or palms may feel tired. Therefore, there is a need for a pointing device that can provide multiple input signals to a computer, and the pointing device is more comfortable to use and easy to use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A US patent application 08 / 467,549 invented by the co-inventor of Ben Mo, "Two-dimensional cursor pointing device" was filed on June 6, 1995, and the patent application was on January 6, 1994.

The application describes a computer input device, the computer input device is provided with a first A rotatable sphere combined with a second transducer is used to generate first and second signals to indicate the rotation of the sphere like a standard mouse and trackball. The input device also includes a Or a side-extending roller, the roller is coupled to a third transducer 'to generate a third signal indicating the rotation of the roller. Not only can the third signal be used to provide a third position signal' and The third signal is used to control one of the non-positional features displayed on a computer visual display. The displayed item or "video object" (" video object ") can be represented on the visual display—cursor, Graphics, or other images or graphics data. The first and second signals can be used as standard position signals to position a cursor on the selected image object, and the scroll wheel can be rotated to provide the third The signal is used to adjust a characteristic " appearance " of the image object, such as the size, color, type, font, border, configuration, brightness, etc. of the object. The input device of this application is also oriented-kind of in Counting overlapping windows or, select one of the stacking systems in the stack (ply). The typical method of selecting a stacking among several stacking stacks requires the user to position the cursor on the desired spoon stack, Click and release the mouse to select the device for stacking this application, and the guidance-germline & "this kind" system can use the rotation of the scroll wheel to generate the third signal for scrolling and selection One of several overlapping stacks (that is, windows): it allows at least one stack to completely obscure at least some other stacks.

Invention description (4) Fixed rotation amount. A computer responds to the third signal and decides a user choice The amount of rotation of the scroll wheel in order to use the predetermined amount of rotation corresponding to the amount of rotation selected by the user to scroll and select a visually occluded stack, and thus display the selected stack. As mentioned above, the pointing device usually provides a two-dimensional position signal to an electronic device. Some pointing devices can input three or more signals to a computer, and allow a cursor to be positioned in a three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional visual display in an imaginary manner. The above application also states that the third signal can control the non-positional aspect of a selected object displayed on the visual display or "appearance I," or that the third signal can select one of several overlapping layers. Floor. Because of improvements to the devices and systems described in the previous co-inventor's application, it is preferable to couple a user input device such as a mouse to a computer with a visual display device. The computer can display data files such as word processing documents or spreadsheet files, where the data files have adjustable display characteristics, such as tile size (zoom), or data structure (content). When the user turns the wheel, the mouse generates a wheel signal, and the computer interprets the wheel signal. It is best to use these wheel signals and at least two innovative technologies in the navigation document and the specific application of cooperation. The two document navigation technologies are: " Space Navigation I ’(" spatial navigation”) and " Information etc. " (data navigation). There are at least five space navigation modes. In the first mode, the user preferably rotates the scroll wheel to cause the computer and the display device to adjust the magnification of the displayed data file or document and thereby enlarge or reduce the document. For example, in a word processing document, the user can rotate the scroll wheel in a certain direction, and only display a part of the page of the document and shrink from near to far, so that the display paper size is applicable to the Chinese national standard ( CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm)-I 1—-II II I 『-I 1 ----- 1 -------, ςτ-* (please read the notes on the back before filling in (This page) 3〇S68〇A7 B7 V. The description of the invention displays the complete number of pages of this document when it is put on the Internet. In the second space navigation mode, the user can turn the scroll wheel or move the mouse to move the screen of the document in the selected direction on the screen. This panning mode is particularly suitable for larger two-dimensional files. The length and width of such two-dimensional files are much larger than the size of the display device. In the third space navigation mode, the user can first turn the scroll wheel or move the mouse to make the document automatically and continuously scroll in a certain direction, and the rate of scrolling is based on the initial scroll wheel or mouse Move without additional user input. Therefore, this automatic page curl mode allows the user to free his hands and perform other tasks. In the fourth spatial navigation mode, the user can continuously rotate the scroll wheel to navigate the document, so as to scroll up or down through the longer document. In the fifth space navigation mode, the user can turn the scroll wheel or move the mouse to use the scroll bar provided in the window of the document display, and the scroll page is printed through this document. ^ 1- 1. ^ nun D 1. · In-: I-^^^ 1 n ^ — I * 一-(please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Under the technology of data navigation, regardless of The data is classified in a hierarchical or late compilation structure. Users can turn the scroll wheel to view the content or details of different levels related to the data file. For example, in a spreadsheet file, the user can turn the wheel to generate a signal to the computer. The computer then changes the display from daily totals to weekly, monthly, and annual totals a when the wheel is fully rotated. Therefore, as long as By rotating the wheel, users can hide or suppress the display of detailed information such as spreadsheets. 3 It is best to use the special function keys on the keyboard or activate a switch associated with the wheel to navigate in the space and Make a choice between data navigation technology and each of the space navigation -8-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) Λ4 specification (210X297mm) A7 _ _B7 5.

When the mouse (101) is on the high point (30), as shown by the code (10), the user can rotate the scroll wheel (10) with the index finger within the complete movement range, and at the same time keep the index finger at 0 ° -2 5 ° f degree of curvature of the biomechanically neutral range of movement. Therefore, T minimizes the use of the muscles of the fingers, wrists, and upper arms, thereby increasing the ease and comfort of using the mouse (101). D. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, finger bending is minimized and finger extension is avoided. Straight 'reduces the possibility of spastic or uncontrollable muscle contractions, thus reducing the frequency with which the user inadvertently activates the pointing device. As described above, the user can turn and press the scroll wheel (106), and press the button (102) or (103). For example, when the user wants to turn the wheel, but inadvertently presses the wheel, or does the opposite action, or wants to turn and press the wheel, but inadvertently presses a button (1〇2) or (1〇3 ), An unintentional start-up will occur. In an embodiment of the present invention, the force required to press the roller (106) is greater than the downward force generated when the roller is rotated, so there is no unintentional activation between rotation and switch pressing. We believe that when the torque required to turn the roller (10〇6) is 40-60 g-cm, and the force required to press the roller (1〇6) is 7 0 -1 30 g, you will get more Good result.

Description of the invention (21) The spring force of the roller switch (174) is the most Yu is between 40-75 grams, this springing force is required to activate the switch button (丨 81) of the wheel switch. These springs (丨 76) together provide a spring force of 30-55 grams. Therefore, pressing the roller (106) inwards to activate the total force required for the roller switch (174) (i.e. " pressing force, ·) will result in the 70-130 grams total force required to activate this switch as described above. In order to provide 70-130 grams of pressing force, it is important to add a large amount of extra power to this preferred power range in the mouse (101) and to integrate other components. For this purpose, the web connector (〖5 is provided with two laterally extending heads (1 5 1 ') along its length, each elbow is about 90. A flat part (丨 6 丨) is formed between the heads, and the flat part (1 6 1) is roughly parallel to the printed circuit board (丨 82). Each elbow ("5〗) is used as a money chain line to allow the abdomen The board connector (151) rotates around the respective heads and thus freely moves upward and downward without applying any additional substantial force to the preferred pressing force range required to press the roller (106). The board connector (15 1) may also include a material with high flexibility and limited spring force. Since this flat portion (161) is provided, the web connector (151) does not only apply a small spring force (eg In the range of 0 _ 1 0 grams), and also limits the height of the connector, so that this connector can be placed in the body (i 1 7) of the mouse (1 0 丨) without touching the upper shell (1 02) below.

In the description of the invention (22), the diameter of the tactile feedback disk (148) is 0.875 inches. The characteristics of these non-return parts plus the range of force required to rotate and press the roller provide a better "feel" of the rotating roller (106). This kind of "feel" provides tactile feedback to the user, which increases the accuracy and consistency of the control and activation of the scroll wheel. In addition, since the check parts are configured in this way, when moving the scroll wheel, the A certain amount of sloshing can be tolerated between the non-return parts without inadvertently moving the roller to the previous or next non-continuous position , Which also reduces the unintentional rotation of the roller. In order to further ensure the accurate and comfortable start of the roller (106), the radius of the outer edge of the roller (38) is designed so that the user can use either end (ie, from the mouse Press (104) or (105)) to approach the roller, and rotate and press the roller along the outer edge (38). In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2D, the radius of the outer edge (38) is 0.075- 0.2 inches, and it will be acceptable when the tangent radii (29), (31), and (33) define the outer edge (38) of the three dimensions of 〇50square inches, 〇125 inches, and 0.1875 inches respectively the result of.

Description of invention (23) The roller (106) slides away and does not accidentally press one of the buttons (104) or (105). Although various low-hardness elastic materials such as SantopreneTM can be used, the applicant believes that when the material used is a Krayton material with a hardness of 60, better results can be obtained. Since a pointing device is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above, the mouse (101) provides feedback to the user, allowing the user to use the pointing device and the scroll wheel (106) in an intuitive manner . This feedback is provided by the feel of the roller, and is defined by the arrangement and spacing of the non-return portions (155) and the force required to move the roller from a discontinuous position to the next discontinuous position. In an embodiment, when the engaging member (146) is located at the most point of the non-return portion (155) and passes through the soil return portion, the movement of the roller (106) from one position to another position generates electrical Signal and transmit the electrical signal, thus providing tactile and visual feedback to the user in order to associate a desired result with a specific amount of movement of the scroll wheel (106). The user can therefore navigate a document in a more intuitive way without having to look at the pointing device. In an alternative embodiment, when the scroll wheel (106) moves from one discontinuous position to another discontinuous position, a sound will be generated to provide additional feedback.

If the wheel switch (丨 74) is not activated, then in step (304), the computer (109) determines whether the wheel (106) is activated, and thus determines whether the computer has received the Z-axis computer signal. If the Z-pump computer signal is not received, step 304 returns to step 302. If the Z-sleeve position signal is received, the computer (109) collects these Z-axis signals in step (306) to determine the amount and direction of rotation of the roller (丨 06) in the manner described above 0 in step (308) , The computer (109) determines whether the shift key on the keyboard (116) is pressed. If the shift key is pressed, the computer (1 09) enters the above-mentioned data navigation mode in step (3 1 〇). The computer (109) determines the level of the document data (content) displayed on the display device (112) according to the rotation amount and direction of the scroll wheel (106). In other words, the computer (109) determines how many non-returns (155) the scroll wheel (106) has rotated, thereby determining the number of levels of the hierarchical data structure of the document to be displayed or suppressed. If the shift key is not pressed on the keyboard (116) in step (308), the computer (109) determines whether the control key is pressed on the keyboard (116) in step (312). If the #control key is not pressed on the keyboard (1 1 6) in step (3 1 2), then the computer (109) enters the scroll mode in step (3 14). According to the rotation amount and direction of the scroll wheel (106), the computer (109) makes the document processing document roll up or down in the window (200). If the control key is pressed on the keyboard (116) in step (31 2), the computer (1 09) enters the space navigation mode in step (3 1 6), and according to the amount of rotation of the scroll wheel (106) and The direction determines the amount of a large ratio (shrinkage).

Description of the invention (45) (109) Then in step (318) it is determined whether the file on the display device (112) is easy to read. If the file is easy to read, in step (320), the computer (109) retrieves the appropriate data from the memory (1 U) and displays the new size file on the display device (丨 12). For example, if the existing magnification ratio is set at 100%, and the user rotates the two check portions (155) of the scroll wheel in the direction toward the front end (28), then the computer (109) in step (3 16) It is decided that the user wants to increase the magnification ratio level by two levels (ie 30%). In step (3 i 8), the computer (109) determines that the file on the display device (1 1 2) is still easy to read (so there is no need to display any mark (217) with the file). Therefore, in step (32〇), the computer (109) increases the enlargement ratio of the file by 30% to i3〇0 / 〇. Printed by the Zhengong Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page). If the document in step (3 1 8) is not easy to read, go to the computer in step (3 22) ( 1 09) Expand any appropriate marks that will be displayed together with the file, such as the bar mark (21 7) shown in FIG. 5. For example, if the existing magnification L ratio is set at 100%, and when the user rotates the four check portions (155) of the scroll wheel in the direction of entering and leaving the front end (28), then in step (3 16) the computer (109) Decide that the user wishes to reduce the magnification ratio level by four levels (that is, 60〇 / 〇). In step (3 18), the computer (1〇9) determines that the file on the display device (112) is not easy to read, so in step (322), the enlargement ratio of the file is reduced by 60% to 40%, and in Appropriate labels are displayed on each part of the document. These marks represent the data contained in the document, that is, these marks are a higher-level concept of the data that is separated from the identification, and the computer j (10 9) in the step (3 2 2) can also properly locate the document at On the display device (112).

Therefore, the mouse (101) or the scroll wheel (106) moves slightly and It will not move the file in the window (200). At point A and leave A within a second range between points b with a preselected distance, the set page-winding rate of a document in a specific application software is delayed. The application software (or operating system) running on the computer (109) has a set page The 'rate' can use such as horizontal and vertical scroll bars (218) and (219) (Figure 11A) in the window (200) to move a document at the set scrolling rate. The speed of the scrolling set by the file depends on the processor ( U5) The speed, available memory (114) capacity, file complexity, and other factors vary. However, -58-this paper standard ϋ Cai ® National Standard (CNS) from the secret (2 丨〇χ297public jf —installed —: ------ order ------ f · ^ (please read the precautions on the back and then fill out this page) V. Description of invention (56 A7 B7 only text ( (No tables and pictures) The typical setting of the word processing file is a page turning rate between 10 lines and 15 lines of text per second. At this rate, when a single data cell, character tone, or When the line text scrolls in the window (200), most users may not be able to read it. Therefore, In steps (330) and (336) (FIG. 13) of the routine (300), the computer (109) applies a delay factor Timeper rvv to the set page-winding rate of the specific application software to make the file page-breaking rate and The screen movement rate is different from the set page scrolling rate. The delay factor Time Per Row is the rate at which a column of pixels is drawn and displayed on the display device (1 12). When the indicator (丨} 3) is from point A (origin Symbol (282)) When moving the point B, the delay factor TimePerRow will decrease. An example equation for determining the delay factor TimePerRow is as follows: MaxTime

TimePerRow, Exp (1) Employee consumption cooperation of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs

In equation (1), the maximum delay factor MaxTime is a preselected value, such as 100 milliseconds per column of pixels. When reading a slow-page document, the preselected value is the smallest acceptable page for most users rate. The base η of the index Εχρ can be such as 2, and the index Exp can be determined using the following equation: P

MaxExp. (2

WaitWidth In equation (2), P is the distance (in pixels) of the indicator (u 3) from the origin 〇 (origin symbol (282)) using a conventional method. WaUWidth is a preselected value that depends on the width of the display device (Π2). The WahWidth value corresponds to the distance between point A and point B, and therefore also corresponds to the delay of the set page speed of 59. This paper size is suitable for China National Standardization (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) | I installed- -„--- r--Subscribe ------ 1 · ^ 1-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs Central Bureau of Customs and Industry Beigong Consumer Cooperative 308680 A7 1 —— — B7 Fifth, the description of the invention (sT ^ 'One —-the second range ° If the width of the display device (112) is about 800 pixels, the WaitWidth value is about 200 pixels. The maximum index value is calculated by the following formula MaxExp:

MaxExp-lgn (MaxTime / MinTime) ⑺ where the minimum delay value MinTime is a preselected value such as 4. This minimum delay value MinTime may approximately correspond to how much time it takes for each horizontal column of pixels to set the scrolling rate. Using the above MaxTime, MinTime, and η values, the maximum index \ 13 \ £ \ i.e. Is 4.643 8 56. Under the above equation (1), the delay factor TimePerRow will continue to decrease until the distance of 200 pixels (Waitwidth value) is reached. When this point is reached, the page rate is approximately equal to the page set for the specific application software and hardware configuration rate. At point B, the set scroll rate continues to scroll one horizontal pixel line at a time, and reaches the maximum redraw or display rate of the application software and hardware in the computer system (100). In the third range between point B and point c that has a preselected distance from point B, the page-winding rate set for the application software increases. In other words, the delay factor TimePerRow becomes a multiple factor (greater than 1) that increases the set page speed. The center page speed between point B and point C continues to increase above the page speed set for the application software, so it may be necessary to skip some pixel units, that is, redrawing two or more logically for a long time Adjacent pixel groups or horizontal pixel lines. When the scrolling rate is faster than the rate at which the display device (112) and the computer (109) can draw or update the pixel unit line on the display device, two pixels will be skipped. Under equation (1), the maximum continuous page-winding rate at point c is reduced to the maximum page-winding rate (for example, one full page or window at a time). When the indicator (113) moves beyond point c, the page-winding rate remains at -60 that occurred on point c-{装 ～; Order f · ^ • (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Central Standard of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Bureau Staff Consumer Cooperative A7 ------_ B7__ V. Description of the invention (58 ^ '&quot; Maximum value. The above has generally explained the invention with reference to the way of vertical scrolling. The above description of the invention is also the same Applicable to horizontal scrolling, this time increases or decreases the set scrolling rate for vertical pixel rows. In addition, although the present invention has been generally described for scrolling, the above description is also applicable to screen movement, etc. Other navigation methods. Please refer to FIG. 14C again. When the user moves the slider (372) in the dialog box (370), the computer (109) adjusts the distance between points 〇, a, B, and C (to The number of pixels is in units.) Therefore, when the user moves the slider (372) to the "fast" end of the slider scale, the distance between point 0 and A is reduced from, for example, 8 pixels to 4 pixels. Similarly, The distance between point eight and b is reduced from 200 pixels to 100 Pixels. The distance between points B and C is similarly reduced. Therefore, the user only needs to move the pointer (113) from the origin symbol (282) for a short distance (Figure 11A), that is, the fast page rate can be used The picture of the document moves. Although the above describes the invention in conjunction with the use of a mouse (1 〇1) with a scroll wheel (1 〇6), the invention can also be applied to a mouse that is not equipped with a wheel Please refer to Fig. 16, showing that the window (200) of the spreadsheet file (23〇) contains a navigation control (400) located in a toolbar part (402) of the window.

You can also use the navigation without The various aspects of the present invention are carried out in the case of navigation control (400) or scroll wheel (106). Therefore, a mouse with a standard two or three buttons (that is, at least the first and second buttons (1 1 0) and (i 1 2) the mouse can perform many of the above-mentioned operating modes. For example, when the second or second button on such a standard mouse is activated, the user can use any of the above without turning the wheel Navigation mode (such as screen movement, automatic scrolling, and slide bar scrolling) 0 The above has generally provided discontinuous changes in a navigation file (such as 1 5% magnification for each stop (1 55) The present invention is illustrated in the form of ratio change. When the speed of the processor (1 1 5) is available, the capacity of the memory (1 14) cannot be changed continuously during the tour, but a smooth transition is shown on the display device (U2) At the time, you can use discontinuous changes in the tour. In addition, when using the scroll wheel (丨 〇6), This discontinuous change provides a fairly intuitive and introspective way to navigate and change the display of the document in the window (200) in an incremental manner.
