Background Art
[0003] Due to the current popularity of computers, the demand for input devices for interactions with computers is also increasing. Among the input devices, a mouse is the most common one. It is typically a necessary device for operating a computer. There are many types of mice on the market, and what has a direct impact on the user is usually a mouse's control response and transmission response. Due to the fact that each person's reaction and control habits may be different, the parameters of a mouse may need to be adjusted due to different application occasions, so as to provide a better operating experience. For example, a user may have different requirements for the control response and transmission response of a mouse in playing games than those in work. Thus, changes need to be made on the configuration of the mouse in a specific environment in order to meet the user's specific operation requirement. However, changing the configuration of a mouse usually requires opening the configuration interface of the mouse through the computer and changing the specific settings one by one.

Description of the Embodiments
[0027] The technical content and detailed description are described as follows in conjunction with the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an input device with a color discrimination function. An input device 100 can input information to an electronic device 200. The input device 100 includes a board body 1 and an indicator device 2. The board body 1 can be a board-like object such as a mouse pad, and the board body 1 includes at least two regions. Board body 1 can be designed with one or more colors. The indicator device 2 may be a mouse or another device that can be used for human-computer interaction input with the electronic device 200, and can be used for certain operations such as moving and clicking. In addition to the above-mentioned operations, the indicator device 2 can also change the operation response correspondingly based on the color of a specific area on the board body 1. The electronic device 200 can be, for example, but is not limited to, a computer, a tablet, or another device. In addition, in one embodiment, the color configuration of the board body 1 can be a plurality of mouse pads of different colors, two sides of the same mouse pad with different colors, or multiple areas on the same side of the same mouse pad with different color. Moreover, for different colors in various regions, the arrangement, shape and range of the colors are not limited.
[0028] Fig. 2A is a first schematic view of a board body in accordance with one embodiment; Fig. 2B is a second schematic view of the board body. Reference may be made to these two figures in combination with Fig. 1. In Fig. 2A, the board body 1 includes a first surface 1-1, and a second surface 1-2 opposite to the first surface 1-1. The first surface 1-1 is a first area A, and the second surface 1-2 is a second area B. The first area A forms a specific color, and the color of the second area B is not limited. The indicator device 2 is able to detect a specific color on the first surface 1-1 by means of a user turning the board body 1 to show the first surface 1-1, and correspondingly change an operation response. As shown in Fig. 2B, the first surface 1-1 includes a first area A and a second area B, and the first area A forms a specific color. The indicator device 2 mainly detects a specific color based on the user moving the indicator device 2 to the first area A on the first surface 1-1, and responds with a corresponding operation change.
[0029] Fig. 3 is a circuit block diagram of an indicator device. Reference may be made to this figure in combination with Fig. 1 to 2B. The indicator device 2 can be coupled to the electronic device 200 (such as a computer) by wired or wireless means. The wired means herein can refer to connecting the electronic device 200 through a connecting port, for example, but not limited to, USB; the wireless means herein can refer to wirelessly transmitting signals with the electronic device 200 through, for example, but not limited to, a transmission antenna. The indicator device 2 includes a displacement detection module 22, a color detection module 24, and a control module 26. The control module 26 is coupled to the displacement detection module 22 and the color detection module 24. The displacement detection module 22 detects a relative displacement of the indicator device 2 with respect to a surface of the board body 1 (for example, the first surface 1-1 or the second surface 1-2), so as to display a corresponding movement on a display area of the electronic device 200. The color detection module 24 forms a detection area AD for detecting a color, so as to detect the surface color in the detection area AD. Preferably, since the indicator device 2 can interact with the board body 1, the color detection module 24 can be disposed on a contact surface with the board body 1 (that is, the bottom of the mouse) to detect the color of the surface of the board body 1. Taking Fig. 2A as an example, when the indicator device 2 is placed on the first surface 1-1, the color detection module 24 can detect the specific color of the first area A with the detection area AD, or may detect the color of the second area B.
[0030] The control module 26 is coupled to the displacement detection module 22 and the color detection module 24, and includes a storage unit 262, a determination module 264 and a parameter adjustment module 266. The storage unit 262 is used for storing a parameter group PG associated with an operation response of the indicator device 2. The operation response herein refers to a response of the indicator device 2, such as sensitivity and transmission rate, when a user operates the indicator device 2. The parameter group PG may include at least one of a displacement parameter of the indicator device 2, a transmission parameter of the indicator device 2, and a button parameter of the indicator device 2, and an adjustment on any one of these parameters can change the operation response of the indicator device 2. For example, changing the displacement parameter of the indicator device 2 can change the relative displacement amount (that is, the sensitivity) of the indicator device 2 relative to the board body 1. The parameter group PG includes at least two different configurations (that is, a first configuration and a second configuration) in response to different colors; one of the configurations corresponds to a specific color (for example, the second configuration may correspond to a specific color); another configuration does not correspond to the specific color (in the example above, the first configuration would not correspond to the specific color).
[0031] The determination module 264 is coupled to the color detection module 24, and is used for determining whether a surface color conforms to a specific color based on a signal provided by the color detection module 24. When the color detection module 24 moves to the first area A for detection, the determination module 264 determines that the color of the surface conforms to the specific color, otherwise, the determination module 264 determines that the color of the surface does not conform to the specific color. The parameter adjustment module 266 is coupled to the determination module 264 and the storage unit 262, and adjusts the parameter group PG from the first configuration to the second configuration based on the surface color conforming to a specific color, so as to adjust the operation response of the indicator device 2. On the other hand, the parameter adjustment module 266 can also adjust the parameter group PG from the second configuration to the first configuration based on the surface color not conforming to a specific color. However, it is also possible to maintain the parameter group PG as the second configuration based on the fact that the surface color does not conform to a specific color. The first configuration may be an initial default configuration, so that the parameter group PG is a preset parameter group PG when the indicator device 2 is started. In addition, one of the three primary colors (that is, red, green, and blue) may be selected for the specific color, so that the determination module 264 can accurately determine whether the surface color conforms to the specific color, and avoid increasing the probability of wrong determination due to the reason that the color is not clear enough.
[0032] For example, it is assumed that the first configuration is in response to a work mode (Office Mode) in which a user performs paperwork, and the second configuration is in response to a leisure mode (Game Mode) in which the user plays a game. Practically speaking, the operation response of the indicator device 2 in the leisure mode should be better than that in the work mode, so as to better meet the needs of the user. Therefore, the first configuration and the second configuration corresponding to the work mode can be set in the storage unit 262. The first configuration can be, for example: 1. using Bluetooth (Bluetooth Low Energy) for transmission; 2. relatively low report rate; 3. enabling a default button setting; 4. relatively high lift-off distance; and 5. relatively low sensitivity (Dots Per Inch, for example, 800 dpi). In this way, the power consumption of the indicator device 2 can be reduced.
Although the operation response may not be very high, it is still sufficient to meet the user's work requirements.
[0033] The second configuration includes, for example, 1. using 2.4 GHz transmission;
2. relatively high report rate; 3. enabling a game button setting; 4. relatively low lift-off distance; and 5. relatively high sensitivity (Dots Per Inch, for example, 1600 dpi). In this way, a better transmission response can be provided, which can further meet the requirements of the game that the indicator device 2 has a quick response and is easy to control. When the surface color conforms to a specific color, the specific color can indicate that the user wants to change to the leisure mode from the work mode. Therefore, the parameter adjustment module 266 adjusts the parameter group PG from the first configuration to the second configuration to adjust the operation response of the indicator device 2. It is worth mentioning that in one embodiment, the above-mentioned modes are only for illustration, and the actual operation may include a variety of different modes (such as, but not limited to, work mode, leisure mode, website mode, etc.).
[0034] Referring to Fig. 3 again, the indicator device 2 may further include a trigger switch 28. The trigger switch 28 is coupled to the color detection module 24, and enables the color detection module 24 based on a triggerTr, so that the color detection module 24 can detect the surface color. Specifically, the color detection module 24 can periodically detect the surface color, so that when the surface color changes, the change can be detected to enable the parameter adjustment module 266 to adjust the configuration of the parameter group PG accordingly, so as to achieve the effect of quickly adjusting the configuration of the parameter group PG based on the user's needs. However, in the case where there are additional considerations for the indicator device 2 (such as, but not limited to, power consumption, etc.), the indicator device 2 may be provided with a trigger switch 28. If the trigger switch 28 is not pressed, the operation of the pointing device 2 remains the same as that of a normal mouse. However, after the trigger switch 28 (that is, trigger Tr) is pressed by a user, the color detection module 24 starts to detect the surface color of the detection area AD and the configuration of the parameter group PG is then adjusted accordingly, so as to achieve the effect of saving power consumption. It is worth mentioning that, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the indicator device 2 may include a plurality of trigger switches 28.
Among the plurality of trigger switches, one trigger switch is used to trigger the color detection module 24, and the rest can be used for other operations (such as, but not limited to, selecting, dragging, etc.) based on the user's definition, which will not be repeated herein. In addition, in one embodiment, the color detection module 24 can preferably be disposed at the position of the contact surface (that is, the bottom surface thereof) between the indicator device 2 and the board body 1. However, it can also be arranged anywhere on the indicator device 2.
[0035] On the other hand, the indicator device 2 may further include a power supply module 30, an LED light 32, and an encoder 34. The power supply module 30 can be used to supply power required for the operation of the indicator device 2. In the case where the indicator device 2 is a wired device, the indicator device 2 is usually coupled to the power supply module 30 via a connecting port, so that the power supply module 30 can provide power accordingly. In the case where the indicator device 2 is a wireless device, the power supply module 30 can be a power supply module 30 that is coupled to an internal battery, so that the power supply module 30 can provide power accordingly. The LED light 32 is coupled to the control module 26, and can be used for providing light emitting/flickering/gradient light emitting modes to produce visually beautiful effects. The effects are not limited to indications of the current state of indicator device 2. For example, in the work mode, the control module 26 may control the LED light 32 to emit a blue light; while in the leisure mode, the control module 26 may control the LED light 32 to emit a red light, so that the user can quickly identify the current mode based on the visual means. The encoder 34 is coupled to the control module 26 and can be used for digital conversion of a relative displacement, so that the electronic device 200 can determine the correct position of a cursor on a screen of the electronic device 200.
[0036] Fig. 4 is a circuit block diagram of a color detection module. Referring to this figure in combination with Fig. 1 to 3, the color detection module 24 includes a light emitting element 242 and an image sensing element 244. The light emitting element 242 and the image sensing element 244 are coupled to the control module 26. The light emitting element 242 can be used to generate a light emitting effect L to illuminate a surface of the board body 1 corresponding to the detection area AD, thereby increasing the brightness of the surface and improving the identification accuracy. The image sensing element 244 can be a sensing element such as, but not limited to, a charge-coupled device (CCD), a complementary metal- oxide semiconductor image sensor (CMOS), or the like. In addition, based on the light emitting effect, the surface color of the board body 1 corresponding to the detection area AD can be sensed. A first signal SI is provided to the determination module 264 of the control module 26 based on the surface color, so that the determination module 264 can determine the surface color of the detection area AD accordingly.
[0037] Fig. 5 is an application block diagram of an indicator device with an electronic device. Referring to this figure in combination with Fig. 1 to 4, the electronic device 200 includes an application software APP for receiving and updating the firmware of the indicator device 2. The application software APP is installed on the electronic device 200 and can execute a learning mode ML. The learning mode ML can be used to match the configuration of a customized parameter group PG to a color specified by the user. Specifically, when a user wants to execute the learning mode ML, the electronic device 200 provides a learning command CL to the control module 26 of the indicator device 2 to instruct the indicator device 2 to perform a corresponding learning operation. Next, the indicator device 2 controls the color detection module 24 to detect a current surface color upon receiving the learning command CL. After detecting and then determining the current surface color (the control module 26 executes the firmware), the control module 26 of the indicator device 2 sends a second signal S2 (which may be a color code or another type of identification result) to the application software APP based on the current surface color.
[0038] The user confirms the detected color through the application software APP, and learns the current configuration corresponding to the current surface color. Subsequently, the user can adjust the current configuration to a customized configuration by operating the application software APP. In addition, after this adjustment is completed, a new firmware is generated by operating the application software APP, and the control electronic device 200 provides an adjustment command CC corresponding to the customized configuration to the indicator device 2 (that is, transmitting the new firmware). Finally, the indicator device 2 updates the current configuration to the customized configuration (that is, updating the firmware) based on the adjustment command CC, so as to achieve a customized function of setting the parameter group PG of the indicator device 2 and its corresponding color.
[0039] Fig. 6 is a method flowchart of a parameter adjustment method of an indicator device. Referring to this figure in combination with Fig. 1 to 5, the parameter adjustment method of the indicator device 2 can be used to control the indicator device 2 to change the operation response of the indicator device 2 based on a specific color. In addition, the parameter adjustment method includes storing a parameter group related to the operation response of the indicator device, and the parameter group including a first configuration and a second configuration S100. The indicator device 2 can store the parameter group PG associated with the operation response of the indicator device 2 via the storage unit 262. The parameter group PG includes at least two different configurations (that is, a first configuration and a second configuration) in response to different colors. Next, a detection area is formed, and the surface color of the detection area is detected S200. The indicator device 2 can form a detection area AD for detecting color through the color detection module 24, so as to detect the surface color in the detection area AD.
[0040] Subsequently, it is determined whether the surface color conforms to a specific color S300. The indicator device 2 is able to determine whether the surface color conforms to a specific color through the determination module 264 based on the signal provided by the color detection module 24. Finally, indicator device 2 can adjust the parameter group from the first configuration to the second configuration based on the surface color conforming to the specific color S400. The indicator device 2 can adjust the parameter group PG from the first configuration to the second configuration through the parameter adjustment module 266 based on the surface color conforming to the specific color, so as to adjust the operation response of the indicator device 2. It is worth mentioning that, in one embodiment, the detailed parameter adjustment method of the indicator device 2 can be referred to Fig. 1 to 4, which will not be repeated herein.
[0041] Fig. 7 is a schematic view of a variant embodiment of an input device. Referring to this figure in combination with Fig. 1 to 6, as shown in Fig. 2A, the first surface 1-1 of the board body 1 includes three first areas Al to A3 and one second area B. The first areas A form three different specific colors, and the second area B has no specific color, or forms a color that is different from those of the first areas Al to A3. The parameter group PG of the indicator device 2 includes three different configurations (such as, but not limited to, a second configuration, a third configuration, and a fourth configuration) corresponding to three different specific colors, and also includes an initial first configuration (that is, the default configuration). When the indicator device 2 has only moved to the second area B but has not moved to the first areas Al to A3, the control module 26 sets the parameter group PG to the initial first configuration based on the fact that the surface color does not conform to the specific color. When the indicator device 2 moves to the first area Al, the control module 26 detects the specific color of the first area Al and adjusts the parameter group PG from the first configuration to the second configuration; after that, when the indicator device 2 moves back to the second area B, since the control module 26 determines that the surface color does not conform to the specific color again, the control module 26 does not adjust the configuration of the parameter group PG back to the first configuration, but maintains the second configuration. The operations for the first area A2 and the first area A3 are also the same, and will not be repeated herein. In this way, the second area B can be used as the operation area of the indicator device 2. A user can use the first areas Al to A3 to adjust the appropriate parameter group PG, and then return to the second area B to operate the indicator device 2.
[0042] The above-mentioned embodiments are examples for fully illustrating the systems and methods herein, and the scope of protection is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or transformations made by a person skilled in the art are all within the scope of protection of the embodiments described herein.
