The signal detection device 120 includes a first controller 121 , a sensor 122 and a wireless signal transmitter 123 . In this embodiment, the host 110 is, for example, a computer, and the signal detection device 120 is, for example, a mouse. For a mouse, the sensor 122 is, for example, an optical sensor, which is disposed at the bottom of the housing of the mouse and can sense the movement information of the mouse. The first controller 121 can transmit the detection signal of the mobile information to the first signal receiver 111 or the second signal receiver 112 of the host 110 through the wireless signal transmitter 123 . The first signal receiver 111 and/or the second signal receiver 112 of the host computer 110 are, for example, wireless signal receivers, which can be built in the host computer 110 or inserted into the two connection ports of the host computer 110 in an external manner. Such as Universal Serial Bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB) port. The processor 113 is used for executing corresponding functions according to the detection signal.

r例如是訊號偵測裝置120對主機110的訊號回報率所換算的時間。例如，以回報率為1000Hz來說，回報時間區間例如是1毫秒；換言之，第一控制器121每1毫秒傳輸(回報)偵測訊號(訊號偵測裝置120受觸發所產生的訊號)給主機110。 The first controller 121 is used for: transmitting the first detection signal S1 , t1 to the first signal receiver 111 at the first time point t1; and determining the time difference between the second time point t2 and the first time point t1

Figure 02_image001
In r, the second detection signal S2 , t2 is directly transmitted to the second signal receiver 112 . In an embodiment, the payback time interval
Figure 02_image001
For example, r is the time converted by the signal detection device 120 to the signal return rate of the host 110 . For example, if the rate of return is 1000 Hz, the reporting time interval is, for example, 1 millisecond; in other words, the first controller 121 transmits (reports) a detection signal (a signal generated by the signal detection device 120 when the signal detection device 120 is triggered) to the host every 1 millisecond. 110.

以下係以第1圖之流程圖進一步說明。The following is a further description based on the flow chart of FIG. 1 .

在步驟S110中，如第2A圖所示，第一控制器121傳輸第一偵測訊號S1 ,t1給第一訊號接收器111。例如，以訊號偵測裝置120例如是滑鼠來說，感知器122於第一時點t1感測到滑鼠的移動資訊，第一控制器121將對應該移動資訊之第一偵測訊號S1 ,t1透過無線訊號發送器123傳輸給主機110的第一訊號接收器111。 In step S110 , as shown in FIG. 2A , the first controller 121 transmits the first detection signal S1 , t1 to the first signal receiver 111 . For example, if the signal detection device 120 is a mouse, for example, the sensor 122 senses the movement information of the mouse at the first time point t1, and the first controller 121 responds to the first detection signal S1 corresponding to the movement information , t1 is transmitted to the first signal receiver 111 of the host 110 through the wireless signal transmitter 123 .

在步驟S120中，第一控制器121判斷第二時點t2與第一時點t1的時間差

Figure 02_image001
r內，其中第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2發生於第二時點t2。例如，感知器122於第二時點t2感測到滑鼠的移動資訊。第一控制器121據以判斷第二時點t2與第一時點t1的時間差

Figure 02_image001
r內。若是，流程進入步驟S130；若否，流程進入步驟S140。 In step S120, the first controller 121 determines the time difference between the second time point t2 and the first time point t1
Figure 02_image001
Whether t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
In r, the second detection signal S2 , t2 occurs at the second time point t2. For example, the sensor 122 senses the movement information of the mouse at the second time point t2. The first controller 121 determines the time difference between the second time point t2 and the first time point t1
Figure 02_image001
Whether t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
within r. If yes, the flow goes to step S130; if not, the flow goes to step S140.

在步驟S130中，如第2B圖所示，當時間差

Figure 02_image001
t落於回報時間區間
Figure 02_image001
r內，第一控制器121將對應移動資訊之第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2透過無線訊號發送器123傳輸給主機110的第二訊號接收器112。如此，在回報時間區間
Figure 02_image001
r內，訊號偵測裝置120可傳送二個偵測訊號給主機110，等同於將原本的回報率增加了一倍(例如，從1000Hz增加到2000Hz)，進而提升了訊號偵測裝置120的靈敏度。由於訊號偵測裝置120的回報率可超過USB協定所限制的1000Hz，因此可匹配主機110所提供的更高運算速度。例如，當主機110執行電腦遊戲(如電競遊戲)時，由於訊號偵測裝置120能提供高回報率，因此操作者可更流暢地、更快速操作電腦遊戲，且主機110也能基於該高回報率提供更快運算速度。 In step S130, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the time difference
Figure 02_image001
t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
In r, the first controller 121 transmits the second detection signals S2 , t2 corresponding to the mobile information to the second signal receiver 112 of the host 110 through the wireless signal transmitter 123. So, in the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
In r, the signal detection device 120 can transmit two detection signals to the host 110, which is equivalent to doubling the original rate of return (for example, from 1000Hz to 2000Hz), thereby improving the sensitivity of the signal detection device 120 . Since the rate of return of the signal detection device 120 can exceed 1000 Hz, which is limited by the USB protocol, it can match the higher computing speed provided by the host 110 . For example, when the host 110 executes a computer game (such as an e-sports game), since the signal detection device 120 can provide a high rate of return, the operator can operate the computer game more smoothly and quickly, and the host 110 can also operate the computer game based on the high rate of return. The rate of return provides faster computing speed.

在步驟S140中，如第2C圖所示，當時間差

Figure 02_image001
t落於回報時間區間
Figure 02_image001
r外，第一控制器121將對應該移動資訊之第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2透過無線訊號發送器123傳輸給主機110的第一訊號接收器111。換言之，當第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2發生時的時間差
Figure 02_image001
t落於回報時間區間
Figure 02_image001
r外時，第一控制器121仍將第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2傳輸給第一訊號接收器111，可減少第二訊號接收器112的負擔。 In step S140, as shown in Fig. 2C, when the time difference
Figure 02_image001
t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
Besides r, the first controller 121 transmits the second detection signals S2, t2 corresponding to the movement information to the first signal receiver 111 of the host 110 through the wireless signal transmitter 123. In other words, the time difference when the second detection signals S2 and t2 occur
Figure 02_image001
t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
When r is outside, the first controller 121 still transmits the second detection signals S2 , t2 to the first signal receiver 111 , which can reduce the burden of the second signal receiver 112 .

如第2A圖所示，當主機110與訊號偵測裝置120之間以無線技術傳輸(或回報)訊號時，第一控制器121的數量少於訊號接收器的總數量。如此，可節省第一控制器121的成本。在實施例中，第一控制器121的數量例如是一個，與控制器的總數量無關。As shown in FIG. 2A , when a signal is transmitted (or reported) between the host 110 and the signal detection device 120 by wireless technology, the number of the first controllers 121 is less than the total number of signal receivers. In this way, the cost of the first controller 121 can be saved. In an embodiment, the number of the first controllers 121 is, for example, one, irrespective of the total number of controllers.

在一實施例中，訊號偵測裝置220可包括n個訊號接收器，n為等於或大於2的正整數。n個訊號接收器至少包括前述第一訊號接收器211及第二訊號接收器212。當回報時間區間

Figure 02_image001
r內發生n個偵測訊號時，第一控制器121將第i時點發生的第i個偵測訊號Si ,ti傳輸給第i個訊號接收器，其中i為介於1~n的正整數，且第i+1時點晚於第i時點。當訊號接收器的總數量為n時，可增加n倍的回報率。 In one embodiment, the signal detection device 220 may include n signal receivers, where n is a positive integer equal to or greater than 2. The n signal receivers at least include the aforementioned first signal receiver 211 and the second signal receiver 212 . When the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
When n detection signals occur within r, the first controller 121 transmits the i-th detection signal Si ,ti generated at the i-th time point to the i-th signal receiver, where i is a positive integer ranging from 1 to n , and the i+1th time point is later than the ith time point. When the total number of signal receivers is n, the rate of return can be increased by n times.

此外，本發明實施例不限定主機110與訊號偵測裝置120之間的訊號傳輸方式，主機110與訊號偵測裝置120之間也可以有線方式傳輸(或回報)訊號。In addition, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the signal transmission method between the host 110 and the signal detection device 120 , and the host 110 and the signal detection device 120 can also transmit (or report) signals in a wired manner.

首先，提供如第4A圖所示之訊號傳輸系統200。訊號傳輸系統200包括主機210、訊號偵測裝置220、第一訊號連接線230及第二訊號連接線240。主機210例如是個人電腦、筆記型電腦、平板電腦或其它具有處理器或控制器的電子裝置。訊號偵測裝置220例如是滑鼠、鍵盤或其它可偵測訊號之輸入的電子裝置。First, a signal transmission system 200 as shown in FIG. 4A is provided. The signal transmission system 200 includes a host 210 , a signal detection device 220 , a first signal connection line 230 and a second signal connection line 240 . The host 210 is, for example, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, or other electronic devices having a processor or a controller. The signal detection device 220 is, for example, a mouse, a keyboard or other electronic devices capable of detecting signal input.

主機210包括第一訊號接收器211、第二訊號接收器212及處理器113。訊號偵測裝置220包括第一控制器221、第二控制器222、第一連接埠223、第二連接埠224及感知器122。第一訊號連接線230電性連接第一訊號接收器211與第一控制器221。例如，第一訊號連接線230連接第一訊號接收器211與第一連接埠223，使訊號偵測裝置220的偵測訊號可透過第一連接埠223及第一訊號接收器211傳輸給主機210的處理器113。第二訊號連接線240電性連接第二訊號接收器212與第二控制器222。例如，第二訊號連接線240連接第二訊號接收器212與第二連接埠224，使訊號偵測裝置220的偵測訊號可透過第二連接埠224及第二訊號接收器212傳輸給主機210的處理器113。The host 210 includes a first signal receiver 211 , a second signal receiver 212 and a processor 113 .

The first signal connection line 230 is electrically connected to the first signal receiver 211 and the first controller 221 . For example, the first signal connection line 230 is connected to the first signal receiver 211 and the first connection port 223 , so that the detection signal of the signal detection device 220 can be transmitted to the host 210 through the first connection port 223 and the first signal receiver 211 the processor 113. The second signal connection line 240 is electrically connected to the second signal receiver 212 and the second controller 222 . For example, the second signal connection line 240 is connected to the second signal receiver 212 and the second connection port 224 , so that the detection signal of the signal detection device 220 can be transmitted to the host 210 through the second connection port 224 and the second signal receiver 212 the processor 113.

此外，第一訊號連接線230及第二訊號連接線240例如是整合於訊號偵測裝置220的連接線。例如，第一訊號連接線230、第二訊號連接線240與訊號偵測裝置220是一體結構，即，第一訊號連接線230及第二訊號連接線240非可拆卸。在另一實施例中，第一連接埠223及第二連接埠224可從訊號偵測裝置220露出，使第一訊號連接線230及第二訊號連接線240可拆裝地連接主機210與訊號偵測裝置220。在實施例中，第一訊號連接線230與第二訊號連接線240可由一包覆層包覆，使第一訊號連接線230與第二訊號連接線240從外觀上為一條傳輸線。此外，第一連接埠223及第二連接埠224例如是通用序列匯流排連接埠。In addition, the first signal connection line 230 and the second signal connection line 240 are, for example, connection lines integrated in the signal detection device 220 . For example, the first signal connection line 230, the second signal connection line 240 and the signal detection device 220 are integral structures, that is, the first signal connection line 230 and the second signal connection line 240 are not detachable. In another embodiment, the first connection port 223 and the second connection port 224 can be exposed from the signal detection device 220, so that the first signal connection line 230 and the second signal connection line 240 can be detachably connected to the host 210 and the signal Detection device 220 . In an embodiment, the first signal connecting line 230 and the second signal connecting line 240 can be covered by a coating layer, so that the first signal connecting line 230 and the second signal connecting line 240 are one transmission line in appearance. In addition, the first connection port 223 and the second connection port 224 are, for example, general serial bus connection ports.

在本實施例中，主機210例如是電腦，訊號偵測裝置220例如是滑鼠。以滑鼠來說，感知器122例如是光學感知器，其配置在滑鼠之殼體的底部，可感測滑鼠的移動資訊。第一控制器221可將對應該移動資訊的偵測訊號透過第一連接埠223傳送給主機210的第一訊號接收器211或透過第二控制器222傳送給第二訊號接收器212。In this embodiment, the host 210 is, for example, a computer, and the signal detection device 220 is, for example, a mouse.

For example, if the signal detection device 220 is a mouse, the sensor 122 senses the movement information of the mouse at the first time point t1, and the first controller 121 detects the first movement information accordingly. The signals S1 and t1 are transmitted to the first signal receiver 211 of the host 210 through the first signal connection line 230 .

r內。若是，流程進入步驟S230；若否，流程進入步驟S250。 In step S220, the first controller 221 determines the time difference between the second time point t2 and the first time point t1
Figure 02_image001
Whether t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
In r, the second detection signal S2 , t2 occurs at the second time point t2. For example, the sensor 122 senses the movement information of the mouse at the second time point t2, and the first controller 221 determines the time difference between the second time point t2 and the first time point t1 accordingly
Figure 02_image001
Whether t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
within r. If yes, the flow goes to step S230; if not, the flow goes to step S250.

在步驟S230中，如第4B圖所示，第一控制器221據以將對應該移動資訊之第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2傳輸給第二控制器222。 In step S230 , as shown in FIG. 4B , the first controller 221 transmits the second detection signal S2 , t2 corresponding to the movement information to the second controller 222 accordingly.

在步驟S240中，如第4B圖所示，第二控制器222將第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2透過第二訊號連接線240傳輸(回報)給主機210的第二訊號接收器212。如此，在回報時間區間

Figure 02_image001
r內，訊號偵測裝置220傳送二個偵測訊號給主機210，等同於將原本的回報率增加了一倍(例如，從1000Hz增加到2000Hz)，進而提升了訊號偵測裝置120的靈敏度。由於訊號偵測裝置220的回報率可超過USB協定所限制的1000Hz，因此可匹配主機210所提供的更高運算速度。例如，當主機210執行電腦遊戲(如電競遊戲)時，由於訊號偵測裝置220能提供高回報率，因此操作者可更流暢地、更快速操作電腦遊戲，且主機210也能基於該高回報率提供更快運算速度。 In step S240 , as shown in FIG. 4B , the second controller 222 transmits (reports) the second detection signals S2 , t2 to the second signal receiver 212 of the host 210 through the second signal connection line 240 . So, in the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
In r, the signal detection device 220 transmits two detection signals to the host 210, which is equivalent to doubling the original rate of return (for example, from 1000 Hz to 2000 Hz), thereby improving the sensitivity of the signal detection device 120. Since the rate of return of the signal detection device 220 can exceed 1000 Hz, which is limited by the USB protocol, it can match the higher computing speed provided by the host 210 . For example, when the host 210 executes a computer game (such as an e-sports game), since the signal detection device 220 can provide a high rate of return, the operator can operate the computer game more smoothly and quickly, and the host 210 can also operate the computer game based on the high rate of return. The rate of return provides faster computing speed.

在步驟S250中，如第4C圖所示，當時間差

Figure 02_image001
t落於回報時間區間
Figure 02_image001
r外，第一控制器221將對應該移動資訊之第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2透過第一訊號連接線230傳輸給主機210的第一訊號接收器211。換言之，當第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2發生時的時間差
Figure 02_image001
t落於回報時間區間外時，第一控制器221仍將第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2傳輸給第一訊號接收器211，如此可減少第二訊號接收器212的負擔。 In step S250, as shown in Fig. 4C, when the time difference
Figure 02_image001
t falls within the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
In addition to r, the first controller 221 transmits the second detection signals S2, t2 corresponding to the movement information to the first signal receiver 211 of the host 210 through the first signal connection line 230. In other words, the time difference when the second detection signals S2 and t2 occur
Figure 02_image001
When t falls outside the reporting time interval, the first controller 221 still transmits the second detection signals S2 , t2 to the first signal receiver 211 , which can reduce the burden of the second signal receiver 212 .

如第3A圖所示，當主機210與訊號偵測裝置220之間以有線方式傳輸(或回報)訊號時，主機210之控制器的總數量等於訊號偵測裝置220之訊號接收器的總數量。例如，主機210之控制器的總數量為2，而訊號偵測裝置220之訊號接收器的總數量也為2，如此可將原本的回報率增加了2倍(例如，從1000Hz增加到2000Hz)，進而提升了訊號偵測裝置120的靈敏度。As shown in FIG. 3A , when a signal is transmitted (or reported) between the host 210 and the signal detection device 220 in a wired manner, the total number of controllers of the host 210 is equal to the total number of signal receivers of the signal detection device 220 . For example, the total number of controllers of the host 210 is 2, and the total number of signal receivers of the signal detection device 220 is also 2, which can double the original rate of return (for example, from 1000Hz to 2000Hz) , thereby improving the sensitivity of the signal detection device 120 .

在一實施例中，主機210可包括n個控制器，n為等於或大於2的正整數。n個控制器至少包含第一控制器221及第二控制器222。訊號偵測裝置220包括n個訊號接收器，n個訊號接收器至少包括第一訊號接收器211及第二訊號接收器212。當回報時間區間

Figure 02_image001
r內發生n個偵測訊號時，第一控制器221(i等於1的控制器)將於第i時點發生的第i個偵測訊號Si ,ti傳輸給第i個訊號接收器，其中i為介於1~n的正整數，且第i+1時點晚於第i時點。 In one embodiment, the host 210 may include n controllers, where n is a positive integer equal to or greater than 2. The n controllers include at least the first controller 221 and the second controller 222 . The signal detection device 220 includes n signal receivers, and the n signal receivers at least include a first signal receiver 211 and a second signal receiver 212 . When the return time interval
Figure 02_image001
When n detection signals occur within r, the first controller 221 (the controller with i equal to 1) transmits the i-th detection signal Si,ti occurring at the i-th time point to the i-th signal receiver, where i is a positive integer between 1 and n, and the i+1th time point is later than the ith time point.

舉例來說，當i等於1時，第一控制器221將於第一時點(i等於1的時點)發生的第一偵測訊號S1 ,t1(i等於1的偵測訊號)傳輸給第一訊號接收器211(i等於1的訊號接收器)；當i等於2時，第一控制器221將於第二時點(i等於2的時點)發生的第二偵測訊號S2 ,t2(i等於2的偵測訊號)透過第二控制器222(i等於2的控制器)傳輸給第二訊號接收器212(i等於2的訊號接收器)；當i大於2時，第一控制器221將於第i時點發生的第i偵測訊號Si ,ti透過第i控制器傳輸給第i訊號接收器。當控制器的總數量為n時，可增加n倍的回報率。 For example, when i is equal to 1, the first controller 221 transmits the first detection signal S1, t1 (the detection signal when i is equal to 1) generated at the first time point (the time point when i is equal to 1) to the first detection signal S1, t1 (the detection signal when i is equal to 1) A signal receiver 211 (a signal receiver where i is equal to 1); when i is equal to 2, the first controller 221 generates a second detection signal S2 at a second time point (a time point when i is equal to 2) , t2 (i The detection signal equal to 2) is transmitted to the second signal receiver 212 (the signal receiver with i equal to 2) through the second controller 222 (the controller for which i is equal to 2); when i is greater than 2, the first controller 221 The i-th detection signal Si,ti generated at the i-th time point is transmitted to the i-th signal receiver through the i-th controller. When the total number of controllers is n, the rate of return can be increased n times.
