The invention belongs to computer application technology.

-Background of the invention

At present, computers have been widely used, and the development of the Internet has led to an unprecedented increase in the amount and speed of information transmission. When we browse on the Internet, many information or information windows (including advertisements) are often placed passively. Although they occupy a lot of area and space, they do not necessarily attract enough attention. When we browse, we may often forget them or ignore them. They, the large area we see on the screen, are not necessarily where we are very focused. The role of such advertising messages is very effective.

At present, the development of computer systems mostly stays on the improvement of system speed and the development of specialized application software, but there is not much to do in terms of the effectiveness and visibility of disseminating information. All the people who operate the computer know that when we look for information on the computer, there is a place where the attention cannot be lost, but we have not seriously developed this place. It is the pointer of the mouse. No matter what information we look for, we have both eyes. The mouse pointer is inseparable, that is, almost any information read on the computer is guided and pointed by this little mouse pointer. Well, this mouse pointer has absorbed almost 100% of our attention, but we have not given enough development to such a large core position so far. It should be said that this is a huge waste of human attention resources.

detailed description

As shown in FIG. 1, it is a block diagram of an information embedding / adding device according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the device is tracked by a mouse pointer, a tracking device 1, a control device 2, a mouse pointer information filling device 3, a storage device 4, and The timing / time device 5 is composed of all the tracking devices 1, the information filling device 3, the storage device 4, and the timing / time device 5 which perform their respective functions under the control of the control device 2.

The mouse pointer status tracking device 1 is connected to the control device 2 and the timing / secondary device 5 for tracking the mouse pointer, and ensures continuous positioning and tracking of the mouse pointer by capturing movement information, and is used to obtain the position of the mouse pointer and The status information of the click or not is fed back to the control device 2 and the timing / time device 5 ,.

The storage device 4 is configured to store information to be displayed in the pointer of the mouse, and the information may be information in a text form or graphic information in any format;

The filling device 3 is connected to the storage device 4. Under the control of the control device 2, the size of the pointer outline can be changed, and information can be read from the storage device 4, and the pointer can be pointed to the mouse boundary or expanded. The area is filled or added with the specific text and graphic information to be added and displayed within the outline of the pointer or its extended area.

The timing / time device 5 is connected to the mouse pointer tracking device 1 and the control device 2 and is used to count the number of clicks of the mouse pointer, and at the same time, can count the activity time of the mouse pointer, and count the obtained count or The timing information is transmitted to the control device 2.

The following describes the working principle of the information embedding / adding device of the present invention, see FIG. 2 _: When the computer first started to work, the mouse pointer was manually moved or clicked continuously. At this time, the control device (central processing unit CPU) 2 controlled the mouse pointer tracking device 1 to capture the position of the mouse pointer and the click event, and timed at the same time. The counting device 5 receives the counting event from the tracking device 1 and counts it. When the number of clicks of the mouse pointer reaches a preset number of times, such as two times, the timing / time device 5 sends a message to the control device 2 to fill the information within the outline of the mouse pointer or its expansion area, and the control device 2 receives After this message, the filling device 3 is instructed to read a piece of information from the storage device 4. The order of reading messages from the storage device 4 is to set the position pointer indicating the message at the initial position, first read the first message, and at the same time automatically move the position pointer to the next message according to the amount of information read At the beginning. After the filling device 3 reads the information from the storage device 4, according to the amount of information, the outline of the mouse pointer is automatically increased from the original size to a level sufficient to accommodate the read information, and the information is placed in the outline or Its expansion area is displayed on the monitor at the same time.

Preferably, in a case where information is displayed in the outline of the mouse pointer or its extended area, when the user clicks the mouse pointer again, the control device 2 sends the filling device 3 again to fill the information in the mouse pointer. The filling device 3 reads a piece of new information from the storage device 4 according to the current position pointer, and simultaneously compares the amount of information of the newly read information with the current mouse pointer to display the information, and accordingly can increase or decrease the mouse Point to the outline to increase fun and interactivity.

When the mouse is not clicked for a long time, the time / time device 5 can detect the time interval and compare the interval with a predetermined time interval. When the predetermined time is exceeded, it will automatically issue a replacement mouse to the control device 2 A message pointing to the information in the bid.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the storage device for storing the information may be a database for storing text or graphics containing the information. And this kind of information is composed of different units, and each unit can be independently filled inward, and they can be sequentially transformed and filled, or refilled in cycles. When a unit of information is filled, the mouse pointer removes the previous information, and then accepts the new information and then removes the previous information.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the mouse information embedding / adding device further includes an information replacement device 6 and an input device 7, as shown in FIG. 4. 'Wherein the information exchange device 6 is connected to the storage device 4 and the control device 2 and is connected to an external client through a transmission medium such as the Internet, for external control under the control of the control device 2 (if authorized by permission). The client receives information such as advertisements and completely or at least partially replaces the pre-stored information in the storage device; because the number of information units stored in the storage device is limited, or we need to Replacement in a given environment, it is necessary to receive new information from the outside to supplement or replace the information in the temporary storage. At the same time, the information stored in the storage device 4 loses its necessary necessity and novelty after a certain period of time, so it is necessary to be able to replace the information frequently. For this reason, the information replacement device 8 of the present invention can receive new advertisement information from advertisers or manufacturers through the Internet or other communication methods when the user is online, for example, while browsing on the Internet, so that it can be updated regularly or irregularly. The content of the information displayed on the mouse pointer. The storage device 4 described in the input device 7 is connected to be used by a user to input useful information into the storage device. At this time, this kind of information may be the schedule information of the user, which is continuously displayed to remind the user. At the same time, the information can also be given a priority, so that the information has a higher display frequency in the outline of the mouse pointer or its expansion area than other information in the storage device.

Preferably, the information embedding / adding device of the present invention further includes an interface activating device. Since the information displayed in the outline of the mouse pointer or its extended area is generally some advertising information, it is used to attract the attention of computer users at the best time. . When the user is interested in the advertisement information displayed by the computer's mouse pointer, the user can activate the interface activation device, so as to enter the website address of the manufacturer indicated on the advertisement information, so as to check the advertisement information displayed in detail. Content. Generally, a special function key on the keyboard can be set as the activation device 7. When we find the information embedded / added by the mouse pointer is very valuable, press this key to confirm the entry. Alternatively, we can set the mouse pointer to at least one key or multiple clicks of one key, or at least two or more key combinations to be the mouse pointer to embed / add information to the reading key.

Preferably, the timing / time device comprises a first timing / time device and a second timing / time device, wherein the first timing / time device is used for internal replacement, that is, controlling the time in the storage device 4 according to a predetermined time or number of times. The information is filled into the outline of the mouse pointer or its expansion area; the second timing / time device is used for external replacement, that is, according to a predetermined time, when the user is online, new information is received from the outside for completely or partially replacing the information in the storage device 4. information.

According to the present invention, characters are not prompted on the mouse pointer until the mouse pointer is panned to the designated pointing coordinates. The pointing coordinate is a special definition of the present invention, which is a screen coordinate point where certain information starts to react on the mouse pointer. A pointing coordinate group composed of a set of coordinate points is used to determine a certain type of character coordinate location. For example: The corresponding coordinate position of a group of numeric characters constitutes the number "keyboard area" Click this area to enter the number. In the same way, the corresponding coordinate position of a group of alphabetic characters constitutes the letter "keyboard area". Clicking this area can enter the letters. It should be noted that the directional coordinates of the present invention are non-prompted, including the number "keyboard area" and the letters "keyboard area" are also very prompt. The pointer of the mouse pointer points, and there is a protruding tip on the periphery of the mouse pointer, which is used for the pointer of the mouse pointer. Since the mouse pointer expands after the mouse pointer is embedded / added information, the pointer point is near the edge of the mouse pointer as a whole. When the zone is pointed, it may happen that the tip points to the defense zone, that is, if the embedding / addition information of the mouse pointer is required to be displayed, the tip point cannot reach all the edge areas. Therefore, the present invention uses the mouse pointer to point the tip and point displacement technology. BP: When the mouse pointer reaches the edge of the screen, the tip point is shifted or fine-tuned, that is, its position (pointer point) is changed on the mouse pointer. To meet the blind spot mouse pointer.

For example: When the mouse pointer is positioned on the right edge of the screen, the tip of the mouse pointer is moved to the left relative to the target body, that is, the full-screen no-blind area of the mouse pointer is satisfied.

The target body of the mouse pointer can be designed as a hand or a non-hand. When the hand shape is designed, when the mouse pointer moves to the boundary, the hand direction needs to be adjusted. Therefore, the technical requirements of the present invention can realize the hand direction conversion when the mouse pointer is in the hand shape, that is, the left hand. The shape changes to right-handed, or the right-handed to left-handed.

When the pointing body of the mouse is non-handed, the pointing of the pointed pointing can be adjusted, or the pointing can be switched, that is, the right pointing is turned into the left pointing, or the left pointing is turned into the right pointing.

In addition, the mouse pointer and the information embedded / added in the mouse pointer or its expansion area according to the present invention also have one of the following characteristics:

1. You can embed / add one or more types of information in the expansion area of the mouse pointer, including a mixture of text and graphics

Interest

2. The area of the mouse pointer is larger than 21 to 2500 square millimeters.

3. The maximum diameter of the mouse pointer is greater than 7 to 50 mm.

4. The information embedded / added on the mouse pointer can be changed with time, so that the information on the mouse pointer or the expansion area can be embedded / added more and more efficiently. feature is:

A varies depending on the clock. After a specified time, the embedded / added information changes.

B varies depending on the number of occurrences. The mouse pointer appears once or more than once, and the embedding / adding information changes once. C The embedding / adding information can be changed cyclically, that is, after a period of time or the mouse pointer appears once, the embedding / adding information that once appeared appears again.

5. When applied on the Internet, the mouse pointer embeds / adds information to follow the changing characteristics, namely: After the URL of the information clicked on the Internet changes once, the information of the mouse pointer follows the change, that is, when entering a new website, the content of the embedded / added information on the mouse pointer changes at the same time.

In addition, since the mouse pointer's information embedding / addition has developed mouse's information embedding / adding content, the mouse pointer can continuously display new information, thus expanding our screen space. Because of the window technology we use now, a lot of information is fixed, so the resources of the window are also limited. Since our embedded / added information can change over time, we can mine a larger screen space as well as mining time.

6. The displacement characteristics of the embedded / added information in the mouse pointer. When the mouse pointer moves, the information of the mouse pointer changes, that is, the information in the mouse pointer changes with the change of the position of the mouse pointer. Since we are using a computer, When connected to the Internet, screen resources are very limited, and too much information cannot be placed on the computer screen, so our screen resources are very limited. If we use the mouse pointer to embed / add the displacement technology, we will expand our screen. Resources.

7. The information of the mouse pointer can be diverged or moved outward or spilled away from the mouse pointer. This function is to make the mouse pointer information have a more dynamic motion to attract attention and make the mouse pointer information larger when it is replaced. The influence can be shifted outward in one direction, or it can be shifted in more than two directions.

8. The mouse pointer information can be queried at two or more levels. For example: When we use a mouse pointer to display a company's trademark or name, if we want to continue to understand the information of the company, we can continue to pursue the display. Or multi-level display.

It should be particularly noted that, in the present invention, since the mouse pointer is embedded with λ / added information, but still plays the role of the mouse pointer, the mouse pointer and the information embedded Λ / added function are compatible.

9. The screen displacement characteristic of the mouse pointer embedding / adding information is divided into several areas on the screen. When the mouse pointer is pointing at one of the areas, the mouse pointer inserting / adding information follows the instruction change. That is, the information of the mouse pointer in different displacement areas needs to be changed differently, or the embedded / added information of the mouse pointer in a specific screen area will perform a specific display and a specific change.

Relying on the above methods, when we use a computer screen, all screen areas can be developed into operating function areas. Now the functional window areas in computer operating applications are generally on the top screen, the bottom screen or the left screen, the right screen, and the middle. Areas cannot be developed for function modules or function window modules, which would be a great waste. In particular, the computers currently used are becoming more and more miniaturized, and our screens will be more and more miniaturized, so the window resources we can allow will also be increasingly scarce. Therefore, it would be very useful to develop window resources, enable mouse pointers to embed / add information, and have screen shift characteristics.

Below we introduce the screen displacement characteristics of the mouse pointer in detail.

Since screen resources are limited, we develop screen resources that can divide the screen into several areas. When the mouse pointer points to a specific area, the mouse pointer's embedded / added information changes.

The area of each specific screen function module area may be equivalent to the area of the pointer.

The area of each specific screen function module area may be smaller than the area of the mouse pointer.

Since the screen function module area can be smaller than the area of the mouse pointer, fine adjustment of the displacement can be performed. That is to say, with a slight displacement change, the information of the mouse pointer can be changed to embed / add content, so that the functional area of the screen will change greatly, which will provide us with a wider range of functional resources.

The mouse pointer information embedding / addition and displacement fine-tuning according to the present invention means that the functional module areas can be respectively arranged in full screen in the following cases. The embedded / added information of the mouse pointer referred to in the present invention is character information or image information, or character information plus image information.

aWhen entering a text file

b When editing a text file

c When performing computer database operations

d When the computer is turned on

e When the computer will shut down

f During Internet browsing and all computer operations,

It should be particularly pointed out that the prior art displacement module cannot guarantee full-screen design and function setting in various states, or not when entering text, or when editing, or under any circumstances Neither allow full screen universal function settings.

When browsing on the Internet, the mouse pointer displacement information changes. When the area pointed by the mouse pointer is a non-clickable browsing area, it can be specified as the change area of the mouse pointer information embedding / adding information, that is, the activation device is triggered at this position. At 7 o'clock, the selection of the embedded / added information will be confirmed.

10. The function of selecting the URL of the mouse pointer to embed / add information. The content can be specified as the URL of each website. When we operate the designated selection key, it means that we confirm the specific website or URL, and we can point to the website or the URL.

11. It should be noted that the full-screen functional displacement setting involved in the present invention refers to specific information displayed in a non-window prompting situation by relying on the displacement of the mouse pointer.

That is, a non-windowed prompt on the screen ribbon.

The mouse pointer scale displacement technology of the screen function module may provide coordinate prompting, that is, use the vertical scale or horizontal scale, or the vertical and horizontal scale to determine the function of each coordinate area or position area.

The screen function expansion scheme according to the present invention may be a complete non-function prompt. That is, no function prompt is performed in all areas on the screen to save the maximum space. Only when the mouse pointer moves a specific area, its function information is displayed on the mouse pointer for confirmation. Because the screen is full-screen non-functional prompts, that is, all screen content may be developed, so screen resources are protected the most. In the existing technology, at least a part of the screen resources is consumed, that is, corresponding areas must be designed to prompt certain functions, and other operations cannot be performed, that is, functions of specific areas are specified. Therefore, when operating on a small screen, we will feel very inconvenient. Therefore, the present invention uses full-screen non-fixed prompting, which results in that our full-screen resources can be reused, and therefore a great amount of information space will be generated. Because the fixed area of the non-fixed function of the full screen is occupied, the mouse pointer embedding / adding information can completely replace the function display of the above area. Therefore, the present invention is characterized in that the information hint on the mouse pointer is used to exclude the fixed information prompt on the screen.

The mouse pointer of the present invention is used for function prompting or information display, or web address display, or has at least two of the above three functions at the same time, so that at least one key or at least two or more consecutive clicks can be used. Multi-key combination to judge and operate.

Interface technology of mouse pointer embedding / addition-A mouse pointer system includes a mouse pointer general execution system and a sub-interface system for embedding / adding information to the mouse pointer at the next level, or a mouse pointer at the next level The sub-sub-interface system for embedding / adding information, and so on.

Mouse Pointer Embedding / Adding Information Technology The total execution system means that only the system has the power to insert / add information to the mouse pointer.

Mouse Pointer Embedding / Adding Information Technology Sub-interface system means that the sub-interface has the right to separately add information.

Mouse Pointer Embedding / Adding Information Technology The sub-interface system refers to the sub-interface which has the right to embed / add information to the mouse pointer.

Each level of interface system can be equivalent to a level of user. In the case where the sub-interface has the power to embed / add information to the mouse pointer interface, that is, the user uses the power to embed / add information to the mouse pointer interface.

For example: The browser system of an Internet browser developer can control the general interface of the mouse pointer interface for embedding / adding information, and can also distribute the power of mouse pointer information embedding / adding to the lower level at the same time, that is, distributing the mouse pointer to each website user. Information embedding / adding power. In addition, each website can also distribute the mouse pointer information embedding / adding power to each page within its own website. This constitutes a hierarchical information embedding / adding system distributed by the mouse pointer inserting / adding sub-interface to facilitate The technology in actual application, or the practicality of the invention.

The mouse pointer interface can also be a general power under the browsing system.

Display example of embedding / adding information when the mouse pointer pans with no window indication on the screen.

The computer including the mouse pointer embedding / adding device of the present invention can be applied to an advertisement registration system as a terminal in the registration system. Each user who wishes to publish information first registers with the registration system in order to obtain the right to publish advertisements or information. From here or through a network connection, he can pass the designed embedded / added content to the registration system, and the registration system Confirmation takes effect. The registration system is connected to a computer client on which an information device is installed through an internet network, and is used to input information into a storage device in the information embedding / adding device of the computer client, thereby replacing the information in the storage device 4 in whole or in part. As a result, the information displayed on the mouse pointer can be continuously updated.
