Description

펜 마우스 장치Pen mouse device
본 발명은 펜 마우스 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a pen mouse device.
최근, 개인용 컴퓨터의 사용 영역이 광범위해 지고 멀티미디어의 응용이 급격히 증가하면서 사용자 인터페이스가 그래픽을 기반으로 한 프로그램들이 많아지고 있다. 이러한 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(Graphic User Interface ; GUI) 환경에서는 마우스와 스타일러스와 같은 포인팅 디바이스의 사용이 일반화되고 있다.In recent years, as the use area of the personal computer has been expanded and the applications of multimedia have increased rapidly, a number of programs whose user interface is based on graphics have increased. In such a graphical user interface (GUI) environment, the use of pointing devices such as a mouse and a stylus has become common.
그러나, 일반적인 마우스는 손바닥 전체로 감싸쥘 수 있게 하는 형태로 제작되고 있으며, 이에 따라 손목의 힘으로 메뉴, 아이콘 등을 선택하는 작업은 용이하게 수행되지만, 엄지와 검지의 힘으로 글씨를 쓰거나 그림을 그려야 할 경우에는 정교하거나 섬세하지 못할 뿐만 아니라 불편한 문제가 있다.However, the general mouse is manufactured in a form that can be wrapped around the entire palm. Accordingly, a menu, an icon, and the like can be easily performed with the power of the wrist, but the writing and drawing can be performed with the power of the thumb and index finger. If you need to draw, you are not only sophisticated or subtle, but also uncomfortable.
즉, 현재까지 마우스의 기능을 충분히 발휘하면서, 동시에 그래픽 작업용 펜으로 기능도 발휘될 수 있도록 하는 마우스가 제공되지 못하는 실정이다. 다르게 설명하면, 일반적인 마우스 작업은 물론, 마우스를 이용한 그래픽 작업도 정교하고 섬세하게 수행할 수 있는 마우스가 제공되지 못하고 있다. 더욱이, 그래픽 작업 시 Ctrl, Alt 및 Shift 키가 많이 사용되는데 이러한 키들이 키보드에 배치되어 있음으로써, 그래픽 작업이 불편한 문제가 있었다.That is, until now, the mouse which fully exhibits the function of the mouse and at the same time can also be provided as a pen for graphic work is not provided. In other words, a mouse capable of precisely and delicately performing not only general mouse operations but also graphic operations using a mouse has not been provided.

도 1은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 전기적 구성을 도시한 블록도이다.1 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of a pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 1에 도시된 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 제1광 센서(111), 제2광 센서(112), 좌 클릭 버튼(113), 휠 센서(114), 우 클릭 버튼(115), 센서 선택 스위치(116), 펜 인식 센서(117), 압력 감지 센서(118), 키 선택 스위치(119), 데이터 처리부(120) 및 데이터 전송부(121)를 포함한다.As shown in FIG. 1, the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention includes a first light sensor 111, a second light sensor 112, a left click button 113, a wheel sensor 114, and a right click button. 115, a sensor selection switch 116, a pen recognition sensor 117, a pressure detection sensor 118, a key selection switch 119, a data processor 120, and a data transmitter 121.
여기서, 전원 공급 장치, 무선 또는 유선 송신 장치 등과 같이 일반적인 구성은 설명을 생략한다.Here, a general configuration such as a power supply device, a wireless or wired transmission device, etc. will be omitted.
제1광 센서(111)는 사용자에 의해 조작된 펜 마우스 장치(일반 마우스의 기능)의 방향 및 거리를 센싱하고 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 즉, 제1광 센서(111)는 광의의 개념으로서, 이는 광 송신부와 광 수신부 및 초정밀 렌즈 등을 포함한다. 광 송신부는 빛을 바닥에 입사시키고, 이에 따라 반사된 빛은 광 수신부에 입력되며, 이와 같이 입력된 신호가 데이터 처리부(120)에 입력되어 펜 마우스 장치의 이동 방향 및 거리가 산출된다. 또한, 이와 같이 산출된 이동 방향 및 거리는 데이터 전송부(121)를 통해 컴퓨터에 전송되고, 따라서 컴퓨터는 모니터를 통해 커서의 움직임을 표현하게 된다.The first optical sensor 111 senses the direction and distance of a pen mouse device (function of a general mouse) operated by a user and transmits the same to the data processor 120. That is, the first optical sensor 111 is a concept of light, which includes an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, an ultra precision lens, and the like. The light transmitter enters light onto the floor, and thus the reflected light is input to the light receiver, and the input signal is input to the data processor 120 to calculate the moving direction and distance of the pen mouse device. In addition, the calculated movement direction and distance are transmitted to the computer through the data transmission unit 121, and thus the computer expresses the movement of the cursor through the monitor.
제2광 센서(112)는 사용자에 의해 조작된 펜 마우스 장치(펜의 기능)의 이동 방향 및 거리를 인식하고 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 이러한 제2광 센서(112)의 기능 및 동작은 제1광 센서(111)의 기능 및 동작과 동일 유사하므로, 그 설명을 생략한다. 다만, 제2광 센서(112)는 펜에 인접하여 설치됨으로써, 펜의 이동 방향 및 경로를 추종하게 된다.The second light sensor 112 recognizes the moving direction and distance of the pen mouse device (function of the pen) operated by the user and transmits the same to the data processor 120. Since the function and operation of the second light sensor 112 are similar to the function and operation of the first light sensor 111, the description thereof will be omitted. However, since the second light sensor 112 is installed adjacent to the pen, the second optical sensor 112 follows the movement direction and the path of the pen.
좌 클릭 버튼(113)은 사용자가 이를 클릭할 경우 좌 클릭 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다.The left click button 113 transmits a left click signal to the data processor 120 when the user clicks it.
휠 센서(114)는 사용자에 의해 조작된 휠의 회전 방향 및 회전수를 인식하고 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다.The wheel sensor 114 recognizes the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the wheel operated by the user and transmits it to the data processor 120.
우 클릭 버튼(115)은 사용자가 이를 클릭할 경우 우 클릭 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다.The right click button 115 transmits a right click signal to the data processor 120 when the user clicks it.
센서 선택 스위치(116)는 사용자가 제1광 센서(111) 및 제2광 센서(112) 중 어느 하나를 선택할 수 있도록 한다. 즉, 사용자가 센서 선택 스위치(116)를 조작하여 제1광 센서(111)가 동작하도록 하면, 데이터 처리부(120)는 제1광 센서(111)만 동작시키고 이로부터만 센싱 신호를 입력받는다. 다음으로 사용자가 센서 선택 스위치(116)를 조작하여 제2광 센서(112)가 동작하도록 하면, 데이터 처리부(120)는 제2광 센서(112)만 동작시키고 이로부터만 센싱 신호를 입력받는다.The sensor selection switch 116 allows a user to select one of the first light sensor 111 and the second light sensor 112. That is, when the user operates the sensor selection switch 116 to operate the first light sensor 111, the data processor 120 operates only the first light sensor 111 and receives a sensing signal only therefrom. Next, when the user operates the sensor selection switch 116 to operate the second light sensor 112, the data processor 120 operates only the second light sensor 112 and receives a sensing signal only therefrom.
펜 인식 센서(117)는 펜 마우스 장치에 펜(132)이 장착되어 있을 경우, 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 즉, 펜 인식 센서(117)는 펜(132)이 펜 마우스 장치에 장착되어 있을 경우, 펜 인식 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 물론, 펜 인식 센서(117)는 펜 마우스 장치에 펜(132)이 장착되어 있지 않을 경우, 펜 미인식 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 이러한 펜 인식 센서(117)는, 예를 들면, 마이크로 스위치, 접점 스위치, 근접 스위치, 포토 커플러 등일 수 있으나, 이로서 본 발명이 한정되지 않는다.The pen recognition sensor 117 transmits the pen 132 to the data processor 120 when the pen 132 is mounted on the pen mouse device. That is, the pen recognition sensor 117 transmits a pen recognition signal to the data processor 120 when the pen 132 is mounted on the pen mouse device. Of course, the pen recognition sensor 117 transmits the pen recognition signal to the data processor 120 when the pen 132 is not mounted in the pen mouse device. The pen recognition sensor 117 may be, for example, a micro switch, a contact switch, a proximity switch, a photo coupler, or the like, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
압력 감지 센서(118)는 사용자에 의해 펜(132)에 가해지는 압력을 감지하고, 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 즉, 사용자에 의해 바닥으로 가해진 펜(132)의 압력에 비례하는 전기적 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 일례로, 바닥을 향해 펜(132)에 가해지는 압력이 크면 컴퓨터의 모니터 상에 상대적으로 굵은 선이 표시되도록 하고, 바닥을 향해 펜(132)에 가해지는 압력이 작으면 컴퓨터의 모니터 상에 상대적으로 가는 선이 표시되도록 할 수 있다. 이러한 압력 감지 센서(118)는 로드 셀, 압전 소자 및 그 등가물 중에서 선택된 하나일 수 있으나, 본 발명에서 그 종류가 한정되지 않는다.The pressure sensor 118 detects the pressure applied to the pen 132 by the user, and transmits the pressure to the data processor 120. That is, an electrical signal proportional to the pressure of the pen 132 applied to the floor by the user is transmitted to the data processor 120. For example, if the pressure applied to the pen 132 toward the floor is large, a relatively thick line is displayed on the monitor of the computer. If the pressure applied to the pen 132 toward the floor is small, the pressure is applied to the computer's monitor. You can make the line appear as. The pressure sensor 118 may be one selected from a load cell, a piezoelectric element, and an equivalent thereof, but the type is not limited thereto.
키 선택 스위치(119)는, 예를 들면, Ctrl, Alt 또는 Shift의 키 선택 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 따라서, 사용자는 키 보드 상의 Ctrl, Alt 또는 Shift의 키를 별도로 조작하지 않고도, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 이용하여 그 키 신호를 입력할 수 있다.The key selection switch 119 transmits, for example, a key selection signal of Ctrl, Alt or Shift to the data processing unit 120. Accordingly, the user can input the key signal using the pen mouse apparatus 100 according to the present invention without separately manipulating the keys of Ctrl, Alt or Shift on the keyboard.
데이터 처리부(120)는 상술한 제1광 센서(111), 제2광 센서(112), 좌 클릭 버튼(113), 휠 센서(114), 우 클릭 버튼(115), 센서 선택 스위치(116), 펜 인식 센서(117), 압력 감지 센서(118) 및 키 선택 스위치(119)로부터 입력된 전기적 신호(아날로그 신호)를 디지털 신호로 변환하고, 이를 처리하여 컴퓨터에 전송한다. 이러한 데이터 처리부(120)는, 예를 들면, 중앙처리장치(CPU), 디지털 시그널 프로세서(DSP), 주문형 집적 회로 및 그 등가물 중에서 선택된 어느 하나일 수 있으나, 본 발명에서 이를 한정하는 것은 아니다.The data processor 120 may include the first light sensor 111, the second light sensor 112, the left click button 113, the wheel sensor 114, the right click button 115, and the sensor selection switch 116. The electronic signal (analog signal) input from the pen recognition sensor 117, the pressure sensor 118, and the key selection switch 119 is converted into a digital signal, processed, and transmitted to the computer. The data processor 120 may be, for example, any one selected from a central processing unit (CPU), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit, and an equivalent thereof, but is not limited thereto.
데이터 전송부(121)는 상술한 데이터 처리부(120)로부터 출력되는 디지털 신호(또는 아날로그 신호)를 컴퓨터로 전송하는 역할을 한다. 여기서, 데이터 전송부(121)는 유선 통신 방식 또는 무선 통신 방식일 수 있으나, 본 발명에서 이를 한정하는 것은 아니다.The data transmitter 121 transmits a digital signal (or an analog signal) output from the data processor 120 to the computer. Here, the data transmitter 121 may be a wired communication method or a wireless communication method, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, Figure 3a is a side view showing the mechanical configuration of the pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3b is a pen coupled to the pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention 132 is a side view.
도 2a, 도 2b, 도 3a 및 도 3b에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 마우스 본체(131)와, 제1광 센서(111) 및 제2광 센서(112)와, 펜(132)과, 센서 선택 스위치(116)를 포함한다. 또한, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 Ctrl, Alt 및 Shift의 키 선택 스위치(119)를 포함할 수 있다.As shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B, the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention includes a mouse body 131, a first light sensor 111, and a second light sensor 112. And a pen 132 and a sensor selection switch 116. In addition, the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention may include a key selection switch 119 of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift.
마우스 본체(131)는, 예를 들면, 둥근 둠 형태의 상부 커버(133)와, 상부 커버(133)의 하부에 대략 평평하게 형성된 바닥 베이스(134)와, 상부 커버(133) 및 바닥 베이스(134)를 연결하는 측벽(135)을 포함한다.The mouse body 131 includes, for example, a round dome shaped top cover 133, a bottom base 134 formed substantially flat under the top cover 133, a top cover 133, and a bottom base ( Sidewalls 135 connecting 134.
또한, 마우스 본체(131) 중 상부 커버(133)에는 좌 클릭 버튼(113), 휠 센서(114) 및 우 클릭 버튼(115)이 설치되고, 바닥 베이스(134)의 대략 중앙에는 제1광 센서(111)가 설치되어 있으며, 이러한 구조는 종래 기술과 동일하다. 따라서, 이에 대한 상세한 설명은 생략한다. In addition, the upper cover 133 of the mouse body 131 is provided with a left click button 113, a wheel sensor 114, and a right click button 115, and a first light sensor at approximately the center of the bottom base 134. 111 is provided, and this structure is the same as in the prior art. Therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
다만, 바닥 베이스(134)에는 하기할 펜(132)이 하부로 노출 및 돌출될 수 있도록 하는 요홈부(136)가 추가적으로 더 형성될 수 있다. 이러한 요홈부(136)는 펜(134)의 주변뿐만 아니라 전방까지 완전히 개방된 형태를 하기 때문에, 펜(134)은 비교적 자유롭게 바닥을 따라 움직일 수 있게 된다.However, the bottom base 134 may be further formed with a recess 136 to allow the pen 132 to be exposed and protrude downward. Since the recess 136 is completely open to the front as well as to the periphery of the pen 134, the pen 134 can move along the floor relatively freely.
제2광 센서(112)는 제1광 센서(111)로부터 이격된 바닥 베이스(134)의 일측 영역에 설치될 수 있다. 제2광 센서(112)는 제1광 센서(111)와 마찬가지로 사용자에 의해 조작된 펜(132)의 이동 방향 및 이동 거리를 센싱하고, 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하는 역할을 한다. The second light sensor 112 may be installed in one region of the bottom base 134 spaced apart from the first light sensor 111. Like the first optical sensor 111, the second optical sensor 112 senses a moving direction and a moving distance of the pen 132 manipulated by a user and transmits the same to the data processor 120.
따라서, 제2광 센서(112)와 펜(132) 사이의 상호간 거리는 최대한 가까워야 한다. 이러한 제2광 센서(112)는 하기할 펜(132)과 함께 좌 클릭 버튼(113)의 일측 영역(예를 들면, 좌 클릭 버튼(113)의 좌측 상단 영역)에 설치될 수 있으나, 이러한 제2광 센서(112) 및 펜(132)의 설치 위치로 본 발명이 한정되지 않는다.Therefore, the distance between the second light sensor 112 and the pen 132 should be as close as possible. The second optical sensor 112 may be installed in one region (eg, the upper left region of the left click button 113) of the left click button 113 together with the pen 132 to be described below. The present invention is not limited to the installation positions of the two-light sensor 112 and the pen 132.
펜(132)은 제2광 센서(112)의 일측에 바닥 베이스(134)를 관통하여 설치될 수 있다. 좀 더 구체적으로, 펜(132)은 상부 커버(133) 및 바닥 베이스(134)를 관통하여 설치될 수 있다. 다르게 설명하면, 펜(132)의 상단 영역은 상부 커버(133)로부터 일정 길이 돌출되고, 펜(132)의 하단 영역 역시 바닥 베이스(134)로부터 일정 길이 돌출될 수 있다.The pen 132 may be installed through the bottom base 134 on one side of the second light sensor 112. More specifically, the pen 132 may be installed to penetrate the upper cover 133 and the bottom base 134. In other words, the upper region of the pen 132 may protrude a certain length from the top cover 133, and the lower region of the pen 132 may also protrude a certain length from the bottom base 134.
이를 위해, 마우스 본체(131) 즉, 상부 커버(133) 및 바닥 베이스(134)를 관통하여 관통홀(137)이 형성될 수 있고, 이러한 관통홀(137)에 펜(132)이 결합될 수 있다. 여기서, 관통홀(137)에는 펜(132)의 존재 여부를 감지하여 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하는 펜 인식 센서(117)가 더 설치될 수 있다. To this end, a through hole 137 may be formed through the mouse body 131, that is, the upper cover 133 and the bottom base 134, and the pen 132 may be coupled to the through hole 137. have. Here, the pen recognition sensor 117 may be further installed in the through hole 137 to detect the presence of the pen 132 and transmit it to the data processor 120.
한편, 펜(132)은 말 그대로 상,하 방향으로 일정한 길이를 갖는 막대 형태일 수 있으나, 이러한 형태로 본 발명이 한정되지 않는다. 따라서, 사용자는 펜(132)의 상단 영역을 엄지와 검지로 붙잡고 정교하고 섬세하게 조정할 수 있고, 이에 따라 펜(132)의 하단이 바닥을 따라 정교하게 섬세하게 움직일 수 있다. 물론, 이와 같은 펜(132)의 움직임은 제2광 센서(112)에 의해 그대로 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송된다. 즉, 펜(132)과 제2광 센서(112)의 이동 방향 및 이동 경로가 동일하기 때문이다.Meanwhile, the pen 132 may be in the form of a rod having a predetermined length in the up and down direction, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Thus, the user can grasp the upper region of the pen 132 with the thumb and index finger and finely adjust it delicately, so that the lower end of the pen 132 can be delicately moved along the floor. Of course, the movement of the pen 132 is transmitted to the data processor 120 as it is by the second light sensor 112. That is, the movement direction and the movement path of the pen 132 and the second light sensor 112 are the same.
이와 같이 하여, 본 발명은 펜이나 스타일러스와 동일하게 정밀하고 섬세한 작업이 가능한 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 제공한다. 즉, 본 발명에서는, 제2광 센서(112)가 더 설치되고, 제2광 센서(112)에 인접하여 펜(132)이 더 설치됨으로써, 사용자의 엄지와 검지에 의해 펜(132)이 정교하고 섬세하게 움직일 수 있고, 이러한 펜(132)의 정교하고 섬세한 이동 방향 및 거리가 제2광 센서(112)에 의해 컴퓨터에 그대로 전달될 수 있다. 따라서, 사용자의 엄지와 검지에 의한 펜(132)의 정교하고 섬세한 동작이 그대로 그패픽 작업에 반영될 수 있다.In this manner, the present invention provides a pen mouse device 100 capable of precise and delicate work in the same manner as a pen or stylus. That is, in the present invention, the second light sensor 112 is further installed, and the pen 132 is further installed adjacent to the second light sensor 112, so that the pen 132 is elaborated by the user's thumb and index finger. And delicately move, and the delicate and delicate direction and distance of the pen 132 can be transmitted as it is to the computer by the second light sensor 112. Therefore, the delicate and delicate movement of the pen 132 by the user's thumb and index finger can be reflected in the graphic work as it is.
또한, 펜(132)은 하단에 펜(132)의 직경보다 상대적으로 작은 직경을 갖는 니들(138)을 더 포함할 수 있고(도 3b 참조) 또한 펜(132)은 니들(138)의 상단에 결합되어 사용자에 의해 가해진 압력을 감지하는 압력 감지 센서(118)를 더 포함한다. 따라서, 사용자에 의해 니들(138)에 가해진 압력 신호가 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송된다. 특히, 압력 감지 센서(118)는 사용자에 의해 가해진 압력의 세기 별로 서로 다른 전기적 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송함으로써, 컴퓨터는 실제 펜과 같이 펜(132)에 가해진 압력이 크면 상대적으로 굵은 선을 표현하고, 펜(132)에 가해진 압력이 작으면 상대적으로 가는 선을 표현할 수 있게 된다. 물론, 이때 펜(132)의 이동 방향 및 이동 거리는 펜(132)의 바로 옆에 설치된 제2광 센서(112)를 통하여 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송된다. 여기서, 니들(138)의 하단은 바닥 베이스(134)의 하면과 동일 평면을 이룰 수 있으며, 따라서 펜 마우스 장치(100)가 일반 마우스 장치로 동작할 때, 펜(132)이 일반 마우스 장치의 움직임이나 동작을 방해하지 않게 된다. In addition, the pen 132 may further include a needle 138 having a diameter relatively smaller than the diameter of the pen 132 at the bottom (see FIG. 3B) and the pen 132 may also be at the top of the needle 138. It further includes a pressure sensor 118 coupled to sense the pressure applied by the user. Accordingly, the pressure signal applied to the needle 138 by the user is transmitted to the data processor 120. In particular, the pressure sensor 118 transmits different electrical signals to the data processor 120 according to the strength of the pressure applied by the user, so that the computer is relatively thick if the pressure applied to the pen 132 is large, such as an actual pen. When the pressure applied to the pen 132 is small, a relatively thin line can be expressed. Of course, at this time, the moving direction and the moving distance of the pen 132 are transmitted to the data processor 120 through the second light sensor 112 installed next to the pen 132. Here, the lower end of the needle 138 may be coplanar with the bottom surface of the bottom base 134, so that when the pen mouse device 100 operates as a general mouse device, the pen 132 moves in the general mouse device. It does not interfere with the operation.
이와 같이 하여, 본 발명은 바닥을 향해 펜(132)에 가해진 압력에 따라 서로 다른 신호가 컴퓨터에 전달되도록 함으로써, 굵거나 가는 선 등이 더욱 정교하고 섬세하게 표현되도록 한다.In this manner, the present invention allows different signals to be transmitted to the computer according to the pressure applied to the pen 132 toward the bottom, so that thick or thin lines and the like are more precisely and delicately expressed.
센서 선택 스위치(116)는 마우스 본체(131)의 측벽(135)에 설치될 수 있다. 이러한 센서 선택 스위치(116)는 제1광 센서(111) 및 제2광 센서(112) 중 어느 하나가 선택되어 동작하도록 한다. 예를 들어, 센서 선택 스위치(116)를 좌측 방향으로 옮기면 제1광 센서(111)가 동작하도록 하고, 센서 선택 스위치(116)를 우측 방향으로 옮기면 제2광 센서(112)가 동작하도록 한다. 물론, 그 반대도 가능하다.The sensor selection switch 116 may be installed on the sidewall 135 of the mouse body 131. The sensor selection switch 116 allows any one of the first light sensor 111 and the second light sensor 112 to be selected and operated. For example, when the sensor selection switch 116 is moved to the left direction, the first light sensor 111 is operated, and when the sensor selection switch 116 is moved to the right direction, the second light sensor 112 is operated. Of course, the opposite is also possible.
한편, 키 선택 스위치(119) 역시 측벽(135)에 설치될 수 있다. 즉, 키 선택 스위치(119) 역시 센서 선택 스위치(116)와 인접한 측벽(135)의 일 영역에 설치될 수 있다. 이러한, 키 선택 스위치(119)는 그래픽 작업 시 많이 사용되는 Ctrl, Alt 및 Shift의 키 중 어느 하나를 엄지로 선택하여 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하는 역할을 한다. 따라서, 사용자는 그래픽 작업중 키보드를 조작할 필요없이, 펜 마우스 장치(100)에 설치된 키 선택 스위치(119)를 이용하여, 그 명령을 간단히 입력할 수 있다. 여기서, 측벽(135)이라 함은 오른손 잡이용의 경우 마우스 본체(131)의 왼쪽 벽을 의미하고, 왼손 잡이용의 경우 마우스 본체(131)의 오른쪽 벽을 의미할 수 있다.Meanwhile, the key selection switch 119 may also be installed on the sidewall 135. That is, the key selection switch 119 may also be installed in one region of the sidewall 135 adjacent to the sensor selection switch 116. The key selection switch 119 plays a role of selecting one of the keys of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift, which are frequently used during graphic work, with a thumb and transmitting the same to the data processor 120. Therefore, the user can simply input the command using the key selection switch 119 provided in the pen mouse apparatus 100 without the need to operate the keyboard during the graphic operation. Here, the side wall 135 may refer to the left wall of the mouse body 131 in the case of right-handed use, and the right wall of the mouse body 131 in the case of left-handed use.
이와 같이 하여, 본 발명에서는, 일측에 별도의 키 선택 스위치(119)가 설치됨으로써, 키보드를 통하지 않고서도 그래픽 작업 중 마우스를 통하여 필요한 다양한 키 명령을 컴퓨터로 전송할 수 있어, 그래픽 작업이 더욱 수월해 지도록 한다.In this way, in the present invention, by providing a separate key selection switch 119 on one side, it is possible to transmit various key commands required to the computer through the mouse during the graphics work without going through the keyboard, so that the graphics work more easily do.
도 4a 내지 도 4c는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)에 결합된 키 선택 스위치(119)의 동작을 도시한 개략도이다.4A to 4C are schematic diagrams illustrating the operation of the key selection switch 119 coupled to the pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 4a에 도시된 바와 같이, 키 선택 스위치(119)는 상부 방향으로 움직이면 Ctrl 신호를, 우측 방향으로 움직이면 Shift 신호를, 하부 방향으로 움직이면 Alt 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하도록 할 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 4A, the key selection switch 119 may transmit a Ctrl signal when moving upward, a Shift signal when moving right, and an Alt signal when moving downward, to the data processor 120.
또한, 도 4b에 도시된 바와 같이, 키 선택 스위치(119)는 상부 방향으로 움직이면 Ctrl 신호를, 우측 방향으로 움직이면 Shift 신호를, 하부 방향으로 움직이면 Alt 신호를, 좌측 방향으로 움직이면 미리 선택된 특정한 키 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하도록 할 수 있다.In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, the key selection switch 119 moves a Ctrl signal when moving upward, a Shift signal when moving right, an Alt signal when moving downward, and a preselected specific key signal when moving left. May be transmitted to the data processor 120.
또한, 도 4c에 도시된 바와 같이, 키 선택 스위치(119)는 좌측으로 두칸 움직이면 Ctrl+Alt 신호를, 좌측으로 한칸 움직이면 Ctrl 신호를, 우측으로 두칸 움직이면 Shift 신호를, 우측으로 한칸 움직이면 Alt 신호를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하도록 할 수 있다.In addition, as shown in FIG. 4C, the key selection switch 119 moves the Ctrl + Alt signal when moved two spaces to the left, the Ctrl signal when moved to the left, and the Shift signal when moved to the right, and the Alt signal when moved to the right. The data processor 120 may transmit the data to the data processor 120.
이와 같은 키 선택 스위치(119)의 움직임에 따른 특정 키 신호의 전송은 본 발명의 이해를 위한 일례에 불과하며, 여기에 설명된 키 신호 뿐만 아니라 다른 종류의 키 신호 전송도 가능하다. 또한, 키 선택 스위치(119)의 움직임 방향도 여기에 설명된 방향 외에 다양한 변경된 방향이 가능함은 당연하다.The transmission of a specific key signal according to the movement of the key selection switch 119 is merely an example for understanding the present invention, and other types of key signals may be transmitted as well as the key signals described herein. In addition, it is natural that the direction of movement of the key selection switch 119 can be variously changed in addition to the direction described herein.
도 5a 및 도 5b는 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 기구적 구성을 도시한 측면도들이다.5A and 5B are side views illustrating a mechanical configuration of a pen mouse device 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
먼저 도 5a에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 다른 펜 마우스 장치(200)는 상부 커버(133)에 상부 방향으로 일정 높이로 돌출된 돌기부(139)를 더 포함할 수 있으며, 이러한 돌기부(139)에 안정적으로 펜(132)이 결합될 수 있다. 따라서, 펜 마우스 장치(200)의 두께가 대체로 얇을 경우에도, 이러한 돌기부(139)에 의해 펜(132)이 용이하게 펜 마우스 장치(200)에 결합될 수 있다.First, as shown in FIG. 5A, another pen mouse device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a protrusion 139 protruding at a predetermined height in an upper direction on the upper cover 133. The pen 132 may be stably coupled to the protrusion 139. Therefore, even when the thickness of the pen mouse device 200 is generally thin, the pen 132 may be easily coupled to the pen mouse device 200 by the protrusion 139.
다음으로, 도 5b에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(300)는 펜(132)을 승강시킬 수 있는 승강 스위치(140)를 더 포함할 수 있다. 즉, 펜(132)을 사용하지 않을 경우에는 승강 스위치(140)를 올려 펜(132)이 상승하도록 하고, 펜(132)을 사용할 경우에는 승강 스위치(140)를 내려 펜(132)이 하강하도록 할 수 있다. 따라서, 일반 마우스 장치로 사용 시 혹시 있을 수 있는 펜(132)과 바닥 사이의 불필요한 마찰을 줄일 수도 있다.Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, the pen mouse device 300 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a lift switch 140 capable of lifting the pen 132. That is, when the pen 132 is not used, the pen 132 is raised by raising the lift switch 140, and when the pen 132 is used, the pen 132 is lowered by lowering the lift switch 140. can do. Therefore, it is possible to reduce unnecessary friction between the pen 132 and the floor which may be used when using as a general mouse device.
물론, 이러한 승강 스위치(140)는 펜(132)에 장착되며, 승강 스위치(140)는 측벽(135)을 통해 외부로 노출 또는 돌출된 형태를 한다.Of course, the lift switch 140 is mounted to the pen 132, the lift switch 140 is exposed or protruded to the outside through the side wall 135.
또한, 이러한 펜 마우스 장치(300)는 센서 선택 스위치(116)의 도움없이 펜 인식 센서(117)의 동작만으로 제2광 센서(112)의 동작 여부를 결정할 수 있다. 즉, 승강 스위치(140)를 올리면 펜 인식 센서(117)가 펜(132)을 인식할 수 없어 자동적으로 제2광 센서(112)가 동작하지 않도록 하고, 승강 스위치(140)를 내리면 펜 인식 센서(117)가 펜(132)을 인식할 수 있어 자동적으로 제2광 센서(112)가 동작하도록 할 수 있다. 물론, 이를 위해 펜 인식 센서(117)는 관통홀 내의 적절한 위치, 즉, 승강 스위치(140)의 승강 위치에 따라 펜(132)을 감지하거나 감지할 수 없는 위치에 설치되어야 한다.In addition, the pen mouse apparatus 300 may determine whether the second optical sensor 112 is operated only by the operation of the pen recognition sensor 117 without the help of the sensor selection switch 116. That is, when the lift switch 140 is raised, the pen recognition sensor 117 cannot recognize the pen 132 so that the second light sensor 112 does not operate automatically. When the lift switch 140 is lowered, the pen recognition sensor is lowered. The 117 may recognize the pen 132 to automatically operate the second light sensor 112. Of course, for this purpose, the pen recognition sensor 117 should be installed at a suitable position in the through hole, that is, at a position where the pen 132 can not be detected or not sensed according to the elevation position of the elevation switch 140.
도 6a 및 도 6b는 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(400)의 기구적 구성을 도시한 평면도 및 저면도이다.6A and 6B are a plan view and a bottom view showing a mechanical configuration of a pen mouse device 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention.
도 6a 및 도 6b에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(400)는 제2광 센서(112) 및 펜(132)이 좌 클릭 버튼(113) 및 우 클릭 버튼(115)의 사이의 영역에 설치될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 발명에 다른 펜 마우스 장치(400)는 오른손 잡이뿐만 아니라 왼손 잡이 또는 양손 잡이도 용이하게 사용할 수 있게 된다.As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the pen mouse apparatus 400 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a left click button 113 and a right click button of the second light sensor 112 and the pen 132. It can be provided in the area | region between 115. Therefore, the pen mouse device 400 according to the present invention can be easily used for both left-handed and both-handed as well as right-handed.
도 7은 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치에 결합된 키 선택 스위치의 동작을 도시한 개략도이다.7 is a schematic diagram illustrating the operation of a key select switch coupled to a pen mouse device according to another embodiment of the present invention.
상술한 바와 같이, 키 선택 스위치(119)가 밀려서 동작하는 방식의 경우 다중 입력이 곤란할 수 있다. 따라서, 도 7에 도시된 바와 같이, 키 선택 스위치(219)가 버튼식 스위치 또는 푸시 버튼 스위치 구조로 변경되면, 한번에 다수의 키(Ctrl, Alt 및 Shift)가 동시에 입력될 수 있다.As described above, in the case of the method in which the key select switch 119 is pushed and operated, multiple input may be difficult. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the key selection switch 219 is changed to a button type switch or a push button switch structure, a plurality of keys (Ctrl, Alt, and Shift) can be input at the same time.
더욱이, 키 입력의 오동작이 방지되도록 키 선택 스위치(219)의 전체를 좌우 방향 또는 상하 방향으로 움직이는 구조를 채택하여, 키가 입력되는 상태(활성화 상태)와 키가 입력되지 않는 상태(비활성화 상태)가 구분되도록 하고, 이에 따라 키 입력의 오동작이 방지된다.Moreover, the structure in which the entire key selection switch 219 is moved in the left and right directions or the up and down directions so as to prevent a malfunction of key input is adopted, so that a key is input (activated state) and a key is not input (deactivated state). Is distinguished from each other, thereby preventing a malfunction of the key input.
도 8a 및 도 8b는 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치의 기구적 구성을 도시한 저면도이고, 도 8c는 측면도이다.8A and 8B are bottom views illustrating a mechanical configuration of a pen mouse device according to still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8C is a side view.
도 8a, 도 8b 및 도 8c에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 또 다른 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(501,502)는 바닥 베이스(134)의 대략 중앙에 제1광 센서를 형성 하지 않고, 또한 이에 따라 대략 측벽(136)에 센서 선택 스위치를 형성하지 않을 수도 있다. 즉, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(501,502)는 제2광 센서(112)가 제1광 센서의 역할을 대신할 수 있으며, 이에 따라 센서 선택 스위치의 형성이 필요없다.As shown in FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C, the pen mouse apparatus 501, 502 according to another embodiment of the present invention does not form the first optical sensor at approximately the center of the bottom base 134, and is thus connected thereto. Accordingly, the sensor select switch may not be formed on the sidewall 136. That is, in the pen mouse device 501 or 502 according to the present invention, the second optical sensor 112 may take the role of the first optical sensor, and thus, there is no need to form a sensor selection switch.
예를 들면, 도 8a에 도시된 바와 같이, 바닥 베이스(134)의 대략 우측 상부 코너로서 펜(132)에 인접한 제2광 센서(112) 또는 도 8b에 도시된 바와 같이, 바닥 베이스(134)의 대략 상부 중앙으로서 펜(132)에 인접한 제2광 센서(112)가 상술한 모든 실시예에서 설명한 제1광 센서의 역할 및 기능을 대신할 수 있다. 즉, 대략 중앙의 제1광 센서가 제거되는 대신, 펜(132)의 근처에 형성된 제2광 센서(112)가 이러한 제1광 센서의 역할을 대신할 수 있다.For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the second light sensor 112 adjacent the pen 132 as the approximately right upper corner of the bottom base 134, or the bottom base 134 as shown in FIG. 8B. The second optical sensor 112 adjacent the pen 132 as approximately the upper center of may replace the role and function of the first optical sensor described in all of the embodiments described above. That is, the second optical sensor 112 formed in the vicinity of the pen 132 may take the role of the first optical sensor instead of removing the approximately first central optical sensor.
이와 같이 하여, 본 발명은 상술한 제1광 센서 및 센서 선택 스위치를 필요로 하지 않기 때문에, 펜 마우스 장치(501,502)의 구조를 단순화하고 제조 비용을 절감할 수 있다.In this way, since the present invention does not require the above-described first optical sensor and sensor selection switch, it is possible to simplify the structure of the pen mouse devices 501 and 502 and reduce the manufacturing cost.
