Abstract

L'invention concerne une souris d'ordinateur comprenant un corps de souris (1) qui comporte une surface limitée (2) au-dessus de laquelle un premier élément mobile (4) est disposé de manière à pouvoir être déplacé dans une première direction de déplacement (vers le haut/vers le bas), et un deuxième élément mobile (5) est disposé de manière à pouvoir être déplacé dans une deuxième direction de déplacement (vers la gauche/vers la droite) qui est perpendiculaire à ladite première direction de déplacement, les éléments mobiles pouvant être déplacés l'un par rapport à l'autre et par rapport à la surface limitée (2). L'objectif de cette invention est de concevoir une souris d'ordinateur qui permet de générer les signaux commandant le curseur, sans déplacer la souris. A cet effet, le premier élément (4) et le deuxième élément (5) de la souris d'ordinateur sont disposés de manière à pouvoir être déplacés l'un par rapport à l'autre et par rapport à la surface limitée (2), de façon à coopérer et former à chaque instant un point d'intersection commun, le nombre de tous les points d'intersection possibles recouvrant la surface limitée (2) totale. En outre, des moyens sont associés au premier et/ou au deuxième élément (4, 5) pour détecter la position relative du point d'intersection formé à chaque moment sur la surface limité (2), et comprennent des moyens ou coopèrent avec des moyens pour déclencher des signaux électriques servant à représenter la position du curseur sur un écran d'affichage.
