Abstract

A3D mouse track ball or track board sharing shift control interface and its operation method, mainly uses a single rolling ball to match with the function selection button switch and the corresponding hard software control, so that the same shift control interface can select one to be the X-axis and Y-axis displacement or the X and Y-axis combined displacement of the traditional cursor, and select to be the scroll page-moving function of up, down, left and right scroll page-moving or further have the scroll page-moving function of the combined direction, the whole design has the advantages of simple structure, easy control and direction sense more conforming to the requirement of human engineering.

Description

The 3D mouse track ball of common shift control interface or track pad and method of operating thereof

The present invention relates to a kind of 3D mouse track ball or track pad and method of operating thereof of common shift control interface.

For a long time, mouse or trace ball and trace ball have become a kind of easy control interface, in recent years, because the spool that data are read moves a page demand, mouse is further set up and is moved a page function, commodity are run after fame with the 3D mouse, commercially available 3D mouse has independent roller usually, move page or leaf with spool about direct selective work or up and down, its independent roller of setting up have with single roller again by button selected up and down or the spool of left and right directions move a page function, also have and set up function roller and left and right sides function roller up and down individually, so that the difference independent operation.So present 3D mouse or 3D trace ball and 3D track pad are with respect to conventional mouse or trace ball and track pad, it must increase roller structure and manufacturing cost.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of simple in structure, control 3D mouse track ball or the track pad and the method for operating thereof of common shift control interface easily.

Hardware configuration of the present invention is achieved in that and includes casing: comprise the casing of mouse or trace ball or track pad shift control interface, so that relevant circuit and the parts of support; Shift control interface: comprise the mouse ball of friction rolling or the track spin that hand is stirred, and move the contact that comprises resistance detection or capacitance detecting or optical detection or the contactless track pad of page function as vernier operating function or spool; The function selecting pushbutton switch; Comprise electromechanics or pushbutton switch or keyswitch or the inductive switch controlled by pressing, provide selection spin or track pad to move the selection function of page or leaf as vernier operating function or spool to be made for relevant various function selecting, to be meant especially.

Control method of the present invention is achieved in that by single spin and cooperates controlling of function selecting pushbutton switch and corresponding hardware and software, so that to displacement or X and Y-axis resultant displacement, and the selected spool that moves page function or further have a compound direction as spool up and down moves a page function by the selected X axis of making traditional vernier of same shift control interface and Y-axis.

Its operating function comprises: common shift control interface is to use as vernier in normality, when pressing the function selecting pushbutton switch when producing entering signal, then common shift control interface transfer to do X axis or Y-axis to spool move a page function; When signal was withdrawed from the generation of manipulation function selector button switch, then common shift control interface recovered as the vernier manipulation function.

Its operating function comprises: common shift control interface is to use as vernier in normality, when pressing the function selecting pushbutton switch when producing entering signal, then common shift control interface transfer to do X axis or Y-axis to or the spool of the compound direction of X-axis and Y-axis move a page function; When signal was withdrawed from the generation of manipulation function selector button switch, then common shift control interface recovered as the vernier manipulation function.

Advantage of the present invention is: (1) shift control interface is still continued to use the spin or the track pad of conventional mouse or trace ball, cooperates the setting of location selection key to control, can make spin or track pad as X axis, Y-axis to and the vernier function of resultant displacement; (2) can further switch as Y-axis to or axial up and down spool moves page function or the compound direction spool moves the page operations function, with the 3D mouse of formation common shift control interface or the function of axis ball or track pad, sense of direction was clear and definite when not only spool moved page, and further can save the setting of independent roller and reduce functional unit, help to save cost and handled easily.

Following conjunction with figs. is said and is described bright feature of the present invention and advantage in detail:

Fig. 1 is the present invention is moved page function to spool as X axis or Y-axis by common shift control interface a control method process flow diagram.

To be the present invention move page function and compound direction spool move the control method process flow diagram of page function as X axis or Y-axis to spool by common shift control interface to Fig. 2.

As follows to above-mentioned dual mode control method and process description respectively below:

Fig. 1 moves the control method process flow diagram of page function by common shift control interface in the 3D mouse of the common shift control interface of the present invention or axis ball or the track pad control method to spool as X axis or Y-axis.

In the operating process that is disclosed among Fig. 1, common shift control interface uses as vernier when normality, when pressing the function selecting pushbutton switch, when producing entering signal, then common shift control interface transfers X axis to or the spool of Y-axis to (not containing X-axis and Y-axis compound direction) moves a page function; When signal was withdrawed from the generation of manipulation function selector button switch, then common shift control interface recovered as the vernier manipulation function.

Fig. 2 moves page function and compound direction spool move the control method process flow diagram of page function as X axis or Y-axis to spool by common shift control interface in the 3D mouse of common shift control interface of the present invention or trace ball or track pad and the method for operating thereof.

In the operating process that is disclosed among Fig. 2, common shift control interface uses as vernier when normality, when pressing the function selecting pushbutton switch, when producing entering signal, then common shift control interface transfer to X axis or Y-axis to or the spool of the compound direction (not containing X-axis and Y-axis compound direction) of X-axis and Y-axis move a page function; When signal was withdrawed from the generation of manipulation function selector button switch, then common shift control interface recovered as the vernier manipulation function.

Above-mentioned Figure 1 and Figure 2 method flow can be supplied and be used for conventional mouse or trace ball or track pad; Its hardware design is required according to the flow process of above-mentioned Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, be equipped with for the outside function selecting pushbutton switch of controlling and related hardware or software and do associated order control, and be oppositely arranged spool and move the hardware of page function or software running and control and realize.
