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.

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 광센서(112), 좌 클릭 버튼(113), 휠 센서(114), 우 클릭 버튼(115), 데이터 처리부(120), 데이터 전송부(121) 및 펜(132)을 포함하며, 추가로 압력 감지 센서(118), 키 선택 스위치(119), 펜 승강부(140) 및 평행 유지 수단(145) 중의 적어도 하나를 더 포함할 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention includes an optical sensor 112, a left click button 113, a wheel sensor 114, a right click button 115, a data processor 120, And a data transmitter 121 and a pen 132, and further include at least one of a pressure sensor 118, a key selection switch 119, a pen lifter 140, and a parallel holding means 145. can do.
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.
광센서(112)는 사용자에 의해 조작된 펜 마우스 장치의 방향 및 거리를 센싱하고 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송한다. 즉, 광센서(112)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 optical sensor 112 senses the direction and distance of the pen mouse device manipulated by the user and transmits the same to the data processor 120. That is, the optical sensor 112 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.
이러한 광센서(112)는 펜(132)에 인접하여 설치되거나 펜(132) 자체에 설치될 수 있으며, 그로써 펜의 이동 방향 및 경로를 추종하게 된다. 후술하겠지만, 펜(132)의 설치 위치는 하나의 장소로 한정되지 않으며, 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 중앙부, 좌측 상부, 우측 상부 등 다양한 구역에 위치될 수 있으며, 펜(132)의 근접한 주변이나 펜(132) 자체에 광센서(112)가 설치되기만 하면 된다.The optical sensor 112 may be installed adjacent to the pen 132 or installed in the pen 132 itself, thereby following the movement direction and path of the pen. As will be described later, the installation position of the pen 132 is not limited to one place, and may be located in various areas such as a center portion, an upper left side, an upper right side of the pen mouse device 100, The light sensor 112 only needs to be installed in the pen 132 itself.
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.
일반 마우스를 이용한 조작에는, 1) 마우스의 이동 조작, 2) (우 클릭 또는 좌 클릭 버튼) 선택 클릭 조작, 3) 버튼을 클릭한 상태에서 마우스를 이동하는 드래그 조작, 4) 원하는 위치에 버튼 누름을 해제하는 드랍 조작, 및 5) 휠 조작 등이 있다. For the operation using a general mouse, 1) mouse movement operation, 2) (right click or left click button) selection click operation, 3) drag operation to move the mouse while the button is clicked, and 4) press a button at a desired position. And a 5) wheel operation to release it.
본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 일반 마우스와 마찬가지로 상기 조작들을 수행한다. 다만, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 드로잉 등과 같은 정밀한 미세 조작을 위해 일반 마우스와는 달리 펜(132)을 더 장착하고 있으며, 드로잉 동작을 위해서 사용자는 좌 클릭 버튼을 누른 상태로 정밀하게 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 조작하여 드로잉 작업 등의 정밀한 조작을 수행할 수 있다.The pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention performs the above operations as with a normal mouse. However, the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention is further equipped with a pen 132 unlike a general mouse for precise and fine manipulation such as drawing, and the user may press and hold a left click button for drawing operation. By precisely manipulating the pen mouse apparatus 100, a precise operation such as a drawing operation can be performed.
한편, 펜(132)은 버튼 방식으로 승하강될 수 있으며(한 번 누르면 하강, 다시 누르면 상승될 수 있음), 펜 자체 보호를 위해 펜 상단에 고무 재질 등으로 보호될 수 있다. 여기서, 펜(132)이 하강된 경우에는 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌린 것으로 인식되게 설정될 수도 있다.On the other hand, the pen 132 can be raised and lowered by a button method (once pressed down, it can be raised again), the pen may be protected with a rubber material or the like on the top of the pen. Here, when the pen 132 is lowered, the left click button may be set to be recognized as pressed.
압력 감지 센서(118)는 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 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 및 Shift의 키 선택 신호 중의 어느 하나 또는 적어도 하나를 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 any one or at least one of the key selection signals of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift to the data processing unit 120, for example. 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.
한편, 키 선택 스위치(119)는 드로잉 작업의 편의성을 위해 좌 클릭 고정키를 더 포함할 수도 있다. 키 선택 스위치(119)에 좌 클릭 고정키가 추가로 포함됨으로써, 사용자는 선 등을 그릴 때 좌 클릭 버튼을 항상 누른 채로 마우스를 이동시킬 필요가 없다.On the other hand, the key selection switch 119 may further include a left click fixed key for the convenience of drawing. Since the left click fixing key is further included in the key selection switch 119, the user does not need to move the mouse while always pressing the left click button when drawing a line or the like.
키 선택 스위치(119)에서 좌 클릭 고정키에 대응하는 키가 눌리거나 선택되도록 조작되면, 좌 클릭 버튼이 계속 눌려진 것으로 인식될 수 있으며, 좌 클릭 고정키에 대응하는 키가 다시 눌리거나 선택되면 좌 클릭 버튼이 계속 눌려진 것으로 인식되는 기능이 해제된다.When the key corresponding to the left click fixed key is operated to be pressed or selected by the key selection switch 119, the left click button may be recognized as being continuously pressed, and when the key corresponding to the left click fixed key is pressed or selected again, the left button is pressed. The function that recognizes that the click button is kept pressed is released.
데이터 처리부(120)는 상술한 광센서(112), 좌 클릭 버튼(113), 휠 센서(114), 우 클릭 버튼(115), 압력 감지 센서(118)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 receives the electrical signals (analog signals) input from the above-described light sensor 112, the left click button 113, the wheel sensor 114, the right click button 115, and the pressure sensor 118. It converts it to a digital signal, processes it, and sends it to a 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.
한편, 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 감지되는 압력이 제한 압력 이상일 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌린 것으로 인식되도록 설정될 수도 있다. 커서 등의 위치를 변경하기 위해 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 이동시키는 경우에는 일반적으로 압력이 많이 가해지지 않는다. 그러나, 드로잉 작업 등의 정밀 조작의 경우에는 미세하게 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 조작해야 하므로 커서 이동 등의 경우보다 펜 마우스 장치(100)에 가해지는 압력이 더 크다. 따라서, 데이터 처리부(120)는 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 감지되는 압력이 제한 압력 이상일 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌린 것으로 인식되도록 제어하고, 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 감지되는 압력이 제한 압력 미만인 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌리지 않은 것으로 인식하거나 또는 좌 클릭 버튼의 누름 상태가 해제되는 것으로 인식되도록 제어할 수 있다.Meanwhile, when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 118 is greater than or equal to the limit pressure, the left click button may be set to be recognized as pressed. When the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention is moved to change the position of the cursor or the like, pressure is not generally applied. However, in the case of a precise operation such as a drawing operation, the pen mouse device 100 must be operated finely, so that the pressure applied to the pen mouse device 100 is greater than that of the cursor movement. Therefore, the data processor 120 controls the left click button to be recognized as being pressed when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 118 is greater than or equal to the limit pressure, and when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 118 is less than the limit pressure, The click button may be recognized as not being pressed or the left click button may be recognized as being released.
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.
펜 승강부(140)는 펜(132)을 상승 또는 하강시키는 부가적인 구성요소로서, 펜(132)을 사용하지 않을 경우에는 펜 승강부(140)를 이용하여 펜(132)이 상승하도록 하고, 펜(132)을 사용할 경우에는 펜 승강부(140)를 이용하여 펜(132)이 하강하도록 할 수 있다. 따라서, 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 일반 마우스 장치처럼 사용하는 경우, 펜 승강부(140)를 이용하여 펜(132)을 상승시켜 사용함으로써 혹시 있을 수 있는 펜(132)과 바닥 사이의 불필요한 마찰을 줄일 수도 있다.The pen lifter 140 is an additional component that raises or lowers the pen 132. When the pen 132 is not used, the pen lifter 140 raises the pen 132 by using the pen lifter 140. When the pen 132 is used, the pen 132 may be lowered by using the pen elevating unit 140. Therefore, when the pen mouse device 100 is used as a general mouse device, unnecessary friction between the pen 132 and the floor may be generated by raising the pen 132 using the pen lifting unit 140. It can also be reduced.
한편, 후술할 펜(132)의 니들(138)이 탈착 가능한 경우 니들(138)을 탈거함으로써 마찰을 줄일 수도 있으므로, 이러한 경우 펜 승강부(140)는 구비될 필요가 없을 수 있다.On the other hand, if the needle 138 of the pen 132 to be described later can be removed by removing the needle 138, in this case, the pen lifting unit 140 may not need to be provided.
평행 유지 수단(145)에 대해서는 후술하도록 한다.The parallel holding means 145 will be described later.
도 2a 내지 도 2d는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 기구적 구성을 간략하게 도시한 평면도, 측면도 및 저면도이다.2A to 2D are a plan view, a side view, and a bottom view briefly showing the mechanical configuration of a pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
도 2a 내지 도 2d에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 마우스 본체(131)와, 광센서(112)와, 펜(132)을 포함한다. As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D, the pen mouse apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes a mouse body 131, an optical sensor 112, and a pen 132.
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 설치된다. 이러한 구조는 종래 기술과 동일하므로, 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. Since this structure is the same as the prior art, the detailed description is omitted.
한편, 도 2a 내지 도 2d에 도시된 바와 같이, 펜(132)은 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 중앙부에 설치되며, 광센서(112)는 도 2c처럼 바닥 베이스(134)에서 펜(132)의 주변에 설치되거나, 도 2d처럼 펜(132) 자체에 설치될 수 있다. 물론, 전술한 바와 같이 펜(132)과 광센서(112)의 설치 위치가 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 중앙부로 한정되는 것은 아니다.On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2a to 2d, the pen 132 is installed in the center of the pen mouse device 100, the optical sensor 112 is the bottom of the base 134 of the pen 132 as shown in Figure 2c It may be installed around the pen 132 itself, as shown in Figure 2d. Of course, as described above, the installation positions of the pen 132 and the optical sensor 112 are not limited to the center portion of the pen mouse apparatus 100.
사용자가 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 조작하거나 펜 마우스 장치의 펜(132)을 조작하는 경우, 광센서(112)는 펜 마우스 장치(100) 또는 펜(132)의 이동 방향 및 이동 거리를 센싱하고, 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하는 역할을 한다. When the user operates the pen mouse apparatus 100 or the pen 132 of the pen mouse apparatus, the optical sensor 112 senses the moving direction and the moving distance of the pen mouse apparatus 100 or the pen 132. , And transmits it to the data processor 120.
또한, 펜(132)은 하단에 펜(132)의 직경 보다 상대적으로 작은 직경을 갖는 니들(138)을 더 포함할 수 있고(도 2b 참조), 또한 펜(132)은 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. In addition, the pen 132 may further include a needle 138 having a diameter at the bottom that is relatively smaller than the diameter of the pen 132 (see FIG. 2B), and the pen 132 may also apply pressure applied by a user. It further includes a pressure sensing sensor 118 for sensing. Accordingly, the pressure signal applied to the needle 138 by the user is transmitted to the data processor 120.
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 광센서(112)를 통하여 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송된다.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, the movement direction and the movement distance of the pen 132 are transmitted to the data processor 120 through the optical sensor 112.
전술한 것처럼, 데이터 처리부(120)는 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 인식된 압력의 세기가 제한 압력 이상인 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌린 것으로 인식되도록 처리할 수도 있다. 물론, 데이터 처리부(120)는 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 인식된 압력의 세기가 제한 압력 미만인 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌리지 않은 것으로 인식하거나 또는 좌 클릭 버튼의 눌림 상태가 해제되는 것으로 인식되도록 처리할 수 있다.As described above, the data processor 120 may process the left click button to be recognized as being pressed when the intensity of the pressure recognized by the pressure sensor 118 is greater than or equal to the limit pressure. Of course, the data processor 120 may recognize that the left click button is not pressed when the strength of the pressure recognized by the pressure sensor 118 is less than the limit pressure, or may be processed to recognize that the left click button is released. have.
한편, 데이터 처리부(120)는 제한 압력 이상의 압력에서도 그 압력의 세기 별로 선의 굵기를 표현할 수 있음은 물론이다.On the other hand, the data processing unit 120 can express the thickness of the line for each strength of the pressure even at a pressure above the limit pressure.
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. 한편, 펜(132)의 니들(138)은 탈착 가능하게 구현될 수도 있다.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. On the other hand, the needle 138 of the pen 132 may be implemented detachably.
도 2a 내지 도 2d에는 키 선택 스위치에 대해서 도시하지 않았지만, 키선 택 스위치가 포함될 수 있으며, 이러한 키 선택 스위치에 대한 설명은 후술하도록 한다.Although the key selection switch is not illustrated in FIGS. 2A to 2D, a key selection switch may be included, and a description of the key selection switch will be described later.
도 3a 및 도 3b는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 기구적 구성을 도시한 평면도 및 저면도이다. 또한, 도 4a는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 기구적 구성을 도시한 측면도이고, 도 4b는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)에 결합된 펜(132)을 도시한 측면도이다.3A and 3B are a plan view and a bottom view showing a mechanical configuration of a pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, Figure 4a is a side view showing the mechanical configuration of a pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4b is a pen coupled to the pen mouse device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention 132 is a side view.
도 3a, 도 3b, 도 4a 및 도 4b에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 마우스 본체(131)와, 광센서(112)와, 펜(132)을 포함한다. 또한, 본 발명에 따른 펜 마우스 장치(100)는 키 선택 스위치(119)를 포함할 수 있다.As shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A, and 4B, the pen mouse apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes a mouse body 131, an optical sensor 112, and a pen 132. In addition, the pen mouse device 100 according to the present invention may include a key selection switch 119.
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 설치된다. 이러한 구조는 종래 기술과 동일하므로, 상세한 설명은 생략한다. 한편, 광센서(112)는 바닥 베이스(134)에서 펜(132)의 주변에 설치되거나, 펜(132) 자체에 설치될 수 있다. 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. Since this structure is the same as the prior art, the detailed description is omitted. On the other hand, the optical sensor 112 may be installed around the pen 132 in the bottom base 134, or may be installed in the pen 132 itself.
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.
전술한 것처럼, 광센서(112)는 바닥 베이스(134)의 펜(132)의 주변의 일측 영역에 설치되거나 펜(132) 자체에 설치될 수 있다. 사용자가 펜 마우스 장치(100)를 조작하거나 펜 마우스 장치의 펜(132)을 조작하는 경우, 광센서(112)는 펜 마우스 장치(100) 또는 펜(132)의 이동 방향 및 이동 거리를 센싱하고, 이를 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송하는 역할을 한다. As described above, the optical sensor 112 may be installed in one side area of the periphery of the pen 132 of the bottom base 134 or may be installed in the pen 132 itself. When the user operates the pen mouse apparatus 100 or the pen 132 of the pen mouse apparatus, the optical sensor 112 senses the moving direction and the moving distance of the pen mouse apparatus 100 or the pen 132. , And transmits it to the data processor 120.
도 3a에서 광센서(112)는 펜(132)과 함께 좌 클릭 버튼(113)의 일측 영역(예를 들면, 좌 클릭 버튼(113)의 좌측 상단 영역)에 설치되는 것으로 도시되었으나, 이러한 광센서(112) 및 펜(132)의 설치 위치로 본 발명이 한정되지 않는다. 펜(132)과 광센서(112)가 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 좌측 상단 영역에 설치된 것으로 도시되었으나 이는 예시에 지나지 않으며, 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 우측 상단 영역, 상단 중앙 영역 또는 도 2a처럼 정중앙 영역에 설치될 수도 있다. 즉, 광센서(112)는 펜(132)과 가까운 거리에 설치되거나 펜(132) 자체에 설치되기만 하면 되며, 펜(132)은 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 어느 영역에도 설치될 수 있음은 당연하다.In FIG. 3A, the optical sensor 112 is illustrated as being installed in one region of the left click button 113 (for example, the upper left region of the left click button 113) together with the pen 132. The present invention is not limited to the installation positions of the 112 and the pen 132. Although the pen 132 and the optical sensor 112 are shown installed in the upper left area of the pen mouse device 100, this is only an example, and the upper right area, the upper center area of the pen mouse device 100, or as shown in FIG. 2A. It may be installed in the center area. That is, the optical sensor 112 may be installed at a close distance to the pen 132 or may be installed at the pen 132 itself, and the pen 132 may be installed at any area of the pen mouse device 100. Do.
펜(132)은 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. 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 결합되어 형성될 수 있다.To this end, a through hole 137 may be formed through the mouse main body 131, that is, the upper cover 133 and the bottom base 134, and the pen 132 is coupled to the through hole 137. Can be.
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 광센서(112)에 의해 그대로 데이터 처리부(120)에 전송된다. 즉, 펜(132)과 광센서(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 optical sensor 112. That is, the movement direction and the movement path of the pen 132 and the optical 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, 일반 마우스 장치와 달리 광센서(112)에 인접하여 펜(132)이 더 설치됨으로써, 사용자가 손가락으로 펜(132)을 정교하고 섬세하게 움직일 수 있고, 이러한 펜(132)의 정교하고 섬세한 이동 방향 및 거리가 광센서(112)에 의해 컴퓨터에 그대로 전달될 수 있다. 따라서, 사용자의 손가락에 의한 펜(132)의 정교하고 섬세한 동작이 그대로 그래픽 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, unlike the general mouse device, the pen 132 is further installed adjacent to the optical sensor 112, so that the user can precisely and delicately move the pen 132 with a finger. The delicate and delicate direction of movement and distance of the light sensor 112 can be transmitted to the computer as it is. Therefore, the delicate and delicate movement of the pen 132 by the user's finger may be reflected in the graphic work as it is.
또한, 펜(132)은 하단에 펜(132)의 직경 보다 상대적으로 작은 직경을 갖는 니들(138)을 더 포함할 수 있고(도 4b 참조), 또한 펜(132)은 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. 이러한 니들(138)은 펜(132)에 탈착 가능하도록 구현될 수도 있다.In addition, the pen 132 may further include a needle 138 having a diameter at the bottom that is relatively smaller than the diameter of the pen 132 (see FIG. 4B), and the pen 132 may also apply pressure applied by a user. It further includes a pressure sensing sensor 118 for sensing. Accordingly, the pressure signal applied to the needle 138 by the user is transmitted to the data processor 120. The needle 138 may be implemented to be detachable from the pen 132.
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 광센서(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 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, the movement direction and the movement distance of the pen 132 are transmitted to the data processor 120 through the optical sensor 112. 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.
한편, 키 선택 스위치(119) 역시 측벽(135)에 설치될 수 있다. 즉, 키 선택 스위치(119) 역시 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 오른손잡이용의 경우 마우스 본체(131)의 왼쪽 벽을 의미하고, 왼손잡이용의 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. 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 for the right-handed use, and the right wall of the mouse body 131 for the left-handed use.
한편, 도 4a에서 키 선택 스위치(119)가 측벽(135)에 설치되는 것으로 도시되었으나 설치 위치는 그에 한정되지 않으며, 펜 마우스 장치(100)의 상부에 설치될 수 있음은 물론이다.Meanwhile, although the key selection switch 119 is illustrated as being installed on the sidewall 135 in FIG. 4A, the installation position is not limited thereto, and the key selection switch 119 may be installed above the pen mouse device 100.
또한, 키 선택 스위치(119)는 드로잉 작업의 편의성을 위해 좌 클릭 고정키를 더 포함할 수도 있다. 키 선택 스위치(119)에 좌 클릭 고정키가 추가로 포함됨으로써, 사용자는 선 등을 그릴 때 좌 클릭 버튼을 항상 누른 채로 마우스를 이동시킬 필요가 없다.In addition, the key selection switch 119 may further include a left click lock key for convenience of drawing. Since the left click fixing key is further included in the key selection switch 119, the user does not need to move the mouse while always pressing the left click button when drawing a line or the like.
키 선택 스위치(119)에서 좌 클릭 고정키에 대응하는 키가 눌리거나 선택되도록 조작되면, 좌 클릭 버튼이 계속 눌려진 것으로 인식될 수 있으며, 좌 클릭 고정키에 대응하는 키가 다시 눌리거나 선택되면 좌 클릭 버튼이 계속 눌려진 것으로 인식되는 기능이 해제된다.When the key corresponding to the left click fixed key is operated to be pressed or selected by the key selection switch 119, the left click button may be recognized as being continuously pressed, and when the key corresponding to the left click fixed key is pressed or selected again, the left button is pressed. The function that recognizes that the click button is kept pressed is released.
한편, 데이터 처리부(120)는 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 인식된 압력의 세기가 제한 압력 이상인 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌려 있는 것으로 인식되도록 제어할 수도 있다. 물론, 데이터 처리부(120)는 압력 감지 센서(118)에서 인식된 압력의 세기가 제한 압력 미만인 경우 좌 클릭 버튼이 눌리지 않은 것으로 인식되도록 제어할 수도 있다. 한편, 데이터 처리부(120)는 제한 압력 이상의 압력에서도 그 압력의 세기 별로 선의 굵기를 표현할 수 있음은 물론이다.Meanwhile, the data processor 120 may control the left click button to be recognized as being pressed when the strength of the pressure recognized by the pressure sensor 118 is greater than or equal to the limit pressure.
