Description

A multifunctional pen mouse

technical field

The utility model relates to a class of computer pointing equipment, in particular to a pen-type photoelectric mouse which has the function of a laser pointer and conforms to ergonomics.

Background technique

At present, the known basic shape of the mouse is like a creeping field mouse. There are two buttons on the front end, which are called the left button and the right button respectively. Right click; the wrist is supported on the desktop; the movement of the mouse is completed by the flexion and extension of the fingers and the rotation of the wrist. This usage method of mouse is determined by the basic shape of traditional mouse. Many designers have optimized the shape of the mouse from an ergonomic point of view, but the mouse is still not out of the "mouse" prototype. There are at least two problems in the traditional mouse: (1) it is easy to cause finger and palm fatigue, or even damage to the ligament; (2) the active area of the mouse is relatively limited. The solution to these two problems needs to start from the basic shape of the mouse and completely change the shape of the traditional "mouse" mouse.

”的符号。Although there are some relevant attempts, most of its design ideas are based on text input, and some improvements have been made to the existing mouse to make it have the function of handwriting input. Its principle can be mainly divided into two categories: one is based on the pressure sensor, and the other is based on the photoelectric signal. Chinese utility model patent ZL02262564.X discloses a mouse pen, which converts the pressure of the x-axis and y-axis of the writing plane into signals for controlling the cursor. However, if it is used as a writing or drawing tool, the precision of controlling the cursor in this technical solution is relatively poor, and the resolution is insufficient. Chinese utility model patent ZL96218723.2 designs a photoelectric handwriting mouse pen, which is provided with components such as a pen head and an optical fiber group, and is a handwriting mouse pen based on the principle of optoelectronics. However, this technical solution uses a group of optical fibers as a medium for optical signal transmission, which reduces the stability of the system. Chinese utility model patent ZL200420034922.6 improves the deficiencies of the above two patents. But according to the provisions of paragraph 2 in the patent claims: "According to the optical mouse according to claim 1, it is characterized in that, when the pen point is in contact with the writing surface, the pen point movement signal is sent to the computer. Transmitting sensor", therefore, the photoelectric mouse pen produced by this technical solution cannot form the non-stroke movement of the cursor. According to the principle announced by this utility model patent, many characters cannot be input completely. For example, when writing "+", it will be formed as "

"symbol.

In view of the above reasons, no similar products with perfect functions are widely popular in the market. In terms of overall practicability, most of the prior art solutions still need to be further improved.

Utility model content

In order to overcome the disadvantages of the existing mouse which may cause damage to the knuckles, cannot directly write characters, and has no laser pointer function under long-term use, the utility model provides a multifunctional pen-type mouse. The multi-functional pen mouse (pen mouse for short) can not only manipulate the cursor in the conventional writing plane, but also can manipulate the cursor without any supporting plane and has the function of a laser pointer.

The condensing lens group [203] refracts the light of the light-emitting diode [204] to the writing plane, providing sufficient illumination for the micro imager [202]. The mouse signal module [209] processes the digital signal provided by the micro-imager, and responds to standard mouse actions (including pressing and lifting of the left and right keys of the mouse, rotation of the mouse wheel [206], etc.).

The pressure processing module [211] processes the signal of the pressure sensor [212]. When the pressure-sensitive intensity is greater than a certain threshold, the pressure-sensitive processing module [211] is connected to the mouse signal module [209], which is equivalent to the state in which the left button is pressed in a traditional mouse. If the cursor is located in the writable area at this time, text writing or drawing can be performed in this area. By default, the pressure-sensitive processing module [211] is connected to the mouse signal module [209] when the pressure-sensitive intensity is greater than zero.

The function of the pressure sensor [212] is to convert the pressure of the nib [214] into a digital signal and send it to the pressure processing module [211]. The function of the elastic buffer body [213] is to buffer the pressure, so that the contact between the nib [214] and the writing plane is softer. The elastic buffer [213] combined with different pressure-sensitivity thresholds can make the nib [214] have different hardness effects.

When manipulating the cursor with a pen-holding writing posture, the writing pen tip [214] with an elastic buffer can determine the state of the left mouse button in combination with the adjustable pressure threshold; when the pressure is greater than the set threshold, the device is on the left side of the mouse. The state of the key pressed.

The function of the signal transmitter [207] is to output the signal of the mouse signal module [209], which can transmit the mouse signal to the interface of the computer by radio frequency or bluetooth technology. As a wireless mouse, the function of the battery pack [208] is to provide power to the device. The battery pack [208] can be an existing small-scale standard battery, or a replaceable rechargeable battery.

The function of the software setting module [210] is to adjust the threshold value of the pressure-sensitivity intensity and manage the functions of the keys [104-107] and [215]. The threshold value of the pressure sensitivity intensity can be adjusted through the software setting interface, the functions of the buttons [104] and [105] (or buttons [106] and [107]) can be reversed, or the functions of the buttons [215] can be reprogrammed.

The front section of the utility model is shown in Figure 3. Among them, 301: laser emission port, 302: mouse imaging port, 303: pen outlet.

The section perpendicular to the long axis of the pen mouse is a rounded rectangle; the equipment plane corresponding to the long side of the rounded rectangle close to the user is called the front, and corresponds to the short side of the rounded rectangle away from the writing plane The plane of the device is called the side.

In the rounded rectangle, the laser emitting port [301] is the exit of the laser, which is circular. The mouse imaging port [302] is the light channel of the imaging lens [201] and the condenser lens group [202], and is a rounded rectangle. Nib outlet [303] is the outlet of nib [214], and is circular.

The beneficial effects of the utility model are that the cursor can be manipulated in a writing manner, the function of the left button of the mouse can be completed by the pressure sensitivity of the nib [101], and all functions of the mouse can be completed by the buttons [104][105][106] , the function of the laser pointer is completed through the button [107], the function of the right mouse button is completed through the touch button [108], and the cursor position is completely separated from the writing plane, and the functions and attributes of the system buttons are controlled through the LCD screen [111].

Detailed ways

The utility model at first transforms the circuit board of the traditional mouse. The modified mouse circuit board is strip-shaped (see [209] of Fig. 2), so that the circuit board is suitable for installation in a certain inner diameter pen-type housing (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 3). Then the lens group, the micro-imager, and the light source of the traditional mouse are transplanted to the nib (referring to [201][202][203][204] of Fig. 2). Considering that the nib will be an easy-to-wear part, the utility model designs the nib as a renewable accessory, so that it can be updated after the nib is worn to a certain extent. The nib should be made of a material with a small friction coefficient and wear resistance, such as nylon. Considering that the wired connection with the host will affect the flexibility of the pen mouse, the utility model uses radio frequency or bluetooth to communicate with the computer. The signal transmitter is installed at the tail of the pen mouse (see [207] in Figure 2). When using radio frequency technology for computer communication, it is necessary to additionally configure the receiving end of the USB port. In order to ensure sufficient power supply, the utility model allows the use of standard batteries and rechargeable batteries to supply power to the system (see [208] in Figure 2). The battery pack [208] can directly use a specially designed rechargeable battery, or it can The adapter box uses a standard 12-volt battery.

Embodiment 1: In order to reduce the overall cost of the system, the keys [104-107], [111] and the laser transmitter [205] may not be configured. At this time, the pen mouse only supports the manipulation of the cursor in writing, and the function of the left mouse button can be completed through the pressure sensitivity of the pen head [101], and the function of the right mouse button can be completed through the touch button [108]. This program does not have the function of a laser pointer.

Embodiment 2: In order to make the system have more complete functions, all the components involved in the utility model can be configured. Under this condition, the pen mouse involved in the utility model supports two cursor manipulation modes. In addition to having all the functions of the first embodiment, the cursor position can be controlled completely away from the writing plane. At this time, you can complete all the functions of the mouse through the buttons [104][105][106], complete the function of the laser pointer through the buttons [107], and adjust and set the functions and attributes of the system buttons through the LCD screen [111]. . How to use: Take off the pen mouse cap (power controller [112]), and buckle the pen mouse cap on the tail, and the device is in working state at this time. Use the pen mouse involved in the utility model with the posture of holding a pen normally. When the distance between the writing nib [101] and the writing plane is small enough, the photoelectric mouse signal module of the pen mouse starts to work, and the purpose of controlling the position of the cursor can be achieved by moving the nib front end. When the writing tip [101] touches the writing plane and generates a certain amount of pressure (the threshold of the pressure can be adjusted by the internal software), the device is in the state where the left button of the mouse is pressed, and the left button of the traditional mouse can be completed. full functionality at the time. When using pen mouse with the posture of writing, touch button [108] can complete all functions when traditional mouse is pressed right button.

Because the pen mouse involved in the utility model can operate the cursor with a normal pen-holding posture and complete all the functions of a traditional mouse, it avoids finger and palm fatigue (or ligament damage) caused by long-term use of the traditional mouse. And the utility model device makes the use of the mouse more flexible. Since the pen mouse involved in the utility model can operate the cursor with a normal pen-holding posture, it is more in line with traditional writing habits when using the pen mouse for writing, and can better generate electronic signatures with traditional signature features. Because the pen mouse front end involved in the utility model is equipped with a miniature laser emitter, by the control of the default laser emission button [107], the function of the laser pointer can be completed.

When using slides to give a speech, the speaker is often far away from the computer and cannot directly manipulate the computer. The pen mouse torso involved in the utility model is provided with a group of mouse control buttons, including: left mouse button [104], right mouse button [105] and cursor control button [106] under default conditions. By using the thumb to rotate the cursor control button [106] to change its contact position with the periphery, the device can generate a corresponding cursor movement direction. Through the length of the contact time between the cursor control button [106] and its periphery, the device can generate the corresponding cursor moving distance. When the cursor control button [106] is in the released state, it does not contact the peripheral position.

Press the function keys [106] and [107] at the same time, and the device is in the software setting mode. At this time, the keys [104-107] are respectively equivalent to four direction keys of up, down, left and right. According to the prompt information on the liquid crystal display screen [111], the adjustment of corresponding functions can be completed by manipulating the direction keys.

When the device involved in the utility model is initially connected to the computer, the status indicator light [110] is green and flickers. After the device communicated normally with the computer, the status indicator light [110] went out. When the voltage was too low, the status indicator light [110] was red.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred special examples embodying the spirit of the utility model, and ordinary technical engineers in the field can fully adapt to the gist of the utility model to achieve the best implementation effect.
