Description

Cyclic mouse input method and mouse device, computer program product

The invention relates to an input method, a mouse device and a computer program product, in particular to a circular mouse input method and a mouse device and a computer program product which are simplified and designed to save components.

The existing mouse device is a command that outputs a predetermined definition after the left or right button is operated. In order to give more meaning to a single button, there are currently two commands that are continuously detected for a predetermined period of time to output another defined command, for example, when the file is being edited, if the mouse detects the left The "click action" of the key generates an instruction to control the position of the cursor. If the mouse detects the "double click action" of the left key, an instruction to select the highlighted area is generated. The method is to set a timer and detect whether there is a continuous click action in a short time. If the predetermined time is exceeded, it is still regarded as a click action, but continuous operation in a short time causes operator fatigue.

In addition, there is also a composite button operation mode in which a plurality of buttons are pressed at the same time, so that a limited button can generate more different combinations of instructions. The disadvantage is that more than two buttons must be set, which cannot simplify the design.

Therefore, how to design a continuous operation without a short period of time and avoid setting too many buttons is a problem to be solved.
