  • the common main features of the mouse 2, as seen in Fig. 3, include a ball 6; a ball pusher 8; a cog wheel 10; opto-couplers 12 and 14, providing suitable signals representing movements of the mouse in four directions; amplifier 16 (e.g., a dual TL072), and a microcontroller 18 (e.g., a PIC16C63A or PIC16F87X unit), providing accurate data to the PC (not shown) to which the mouse is connected.
  • amplifier 16 e.g., a dual TL072
  • a microcontroller 18 e.g., a PIC16C63A or PIC16F87X unit
  • Housing 20 of mouse 2 is made with a slot 22, configured to smoothly guide a credit card passed through the slot.
  • the slot 22 can be produced across the width of housing 20, as seen in Figs. 1 to 3, or along its length, as seen in Figs. 4 to 6.
  • a magnetic head 24 is mounted in close proximity to slot 22, for reading information from a specific card slid through the slot.
  • a switch e.g., a micro-switch, or preferably, a third opto-coupler 26, located across the slot 22 for detecting the insertion of a card in the slot and for thereby distinguishing between mouse-acquired data and magnetic card data.
  • Fig. 7 there is illustrated a circuit diagram for a preferred embodiment of a combined mouse/magnetic card reader.

  • the dual TL072 amplifiers U11A and U12A are auto-adjustable signal amplifiers amplifying each of the signals of the two tracks of a magnetic card. Regardless of the level of signals that the magnetic head provides, the level of signals at the output of the amplifiers U11A and U12A is uniform. Two BC557 transistors performing Schmitt trigger functions are also provided.
  • the Schmitt trigger sets threshold levels both for the logical "l"s and "0"s, with a vague area between the two levels.
  • the signal is a pure digital stream of data with an appropriate level to drive the microcontroller 18.
  • the microcontroller 18 is responsible for providing accurate data to the PC via the RS232, PS/2 or USB connection.
  • the microcontroller performs three main functions: a) decoding the stream of logic "1" and "0" coming from the tracks via the amplifiers to supply the clock and the magnetic card data and to transfer the data to the PC; b) decoding the pulses coming from the opto-coupling devices and the switches Si and S 2 to provide mouse data to the PC; and c) switching between the above-mentioned two functions.
  • the default function is mouse mode; however, when a card is passed, the microcontroller switches to card mode.
  • Additional photo-coupler 26 supplies the trigger to microcontroller 18 for initiating the card-reading mode when a magnetic card is slit through slot 22.

  • the Data EEPROM program memory of the microcontroller 18 is readable and writable during normal operation and may be used to store digital signature ingredients, namely, digital certificates and private keys.
  • the memory is advantageously a non-volatile memory for storing the programs and other secured data.
  • any personal magentic card including a credit card, may also be utilized in conjunction with the device, to identify an user's authority to access a specific computer program or document, or to obtain secured data stored in the device.

Abstract

Cette invention a trait à une souris d'ordinateur/dispositif de lecture de carte magnétique, comportant une souris dont le la coque enveloppe au moins partiellement un mécanisme exécutant les fonctions d'une souris lorsque le dispositif est connecté à un ordinateur. Une fente, qui traverse au moins la majeure partie d'une face de la coque, est configurée pour guider régulièrement une carte magnétique que l'on y a insérée. Le dispositif est pourvu d'une tête magnétique placée à proximité de la fente, d'un commutateur se trouvant dans la fente ou étant contigu à celle-ci et servant à détecter l'insertion de la carte dans la fente et à faire basculer le dispositif du mode souris au mode lecture de carte. Le dispositif est également équipé d'un micro-contrôleur agissant sur le fonctionnement du dispositif dans ces modes.
