Description

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Personen, die mit Computern (insbesondere Laptops, Notebooks aber auch PCs etc.) arbeiten, benötigen zum Bewegen des Mauszeigers auf dem Bildschirm entweder eine zusätzliche Maus-Hardware, die über entsprechende Schnittstellen (seriell, USB, Infrarot, Funk etc.) mit dem Computer verbunden werden oder aber müssen sehr komplizierte und/oder Finger-ungewohnte integrierte Systeme nutzen (hier: Touchpad, Scrollball etc.).People who work with computers (especially laptops, Notebooks as well as PCs etc.) need to move the mouse pointer on the screen either an additional mouse hardware that has appropriate Interfaces (serial, USB, infrared, radio, etc.) with the computer connected or have to use very complicated and / or finger-unfamiliar integrated systems (here: touchpad, scrollball etc.).

Im Falle der zusätzlichen Maus ist also immer mindestens ein zweites Gerät (speziell bei Laptops, Notebooks etc.) notwendig, um die Verwendung des Mauszeigers auf dem Bildschirm zu ermöglichen.So in the case of the additional mouse is always at least one second device (especially for laptops, notebooks etc.) necessary to use of the mouse pointer on the screen.

Hinzu kommt, dass mittlerweile mobile Telefone („Handys") ein weitverbreiteter Gebrauchsgegenstand sind und jeder diese auch gewöhnlich bei sich trägt. Das mobile Telefon besitzt (normalerweise) eine Schnittstelle zum Computer (seriell, USB, Infrarot, Funk etc.), die aber nur für die modell- bzw. geräteabhängigen Funktionen des mobilen Telefons bzw. der mitgelieferten Software genutzt werden kann.On top of that, meanwhile mobile Phones ("cell phones") are a common one Commodities are and everybody usually with them wearing. The mobile phone has (usually) an interface to the Computer (serial, USB, infrared, radio, etc.), but only for the model or device-dependent functions of the mobile phone or the supplied software can be used.

Zusammengefasst tragen Personen (speziell beim Einsatz von Laptops, Notebooks etc.) meist 3 Geräte (Computer, Maus und Mobiles Telefon) für 2 Funktionen (Computer- und Telefon-Benutzung) mit sich.In summary, people (especially when Use of laptops, notebooks etc.) mostly 3 devices (computers, mice and mobiles Phone) for 2 functions (computer and telephone use) with itself.

Lösung:Solution:

Diese Erfindung kombiniert die bestehende Funktionalität von bekannten optischen oder manuellen Sensor-Computer-Mäusen mit den bestehenden Funktionalitäten eines mobilen Telefons und vereint sie zu einem Gerät, das beide Funktionen in einem erfüllt.This invention combines the existing functionality of known ones optical or manual sensor-computer mice with the existing functionalities of a mobile phone and combines them into one device that has both functions in one fulfilled.

Dabei wird auf einer Seite des mobilen Telefons (idealerweise nicht auf der Tastatur-Seite) ein optischer oder manueller Computer-Maus-Sensor und dessen Technologie zur Bestimmung der Position der Computer-Maus integriert, der über die Funktionen des mobilen Telefons beliebig aktiviert bzw. deaktiviert werden kann.It is on one side of the mobile Phone (ideally not on the keyboard side) an optical or manual Computer mouse sensor and its technology for determining the position the computer mouse that integrates the functions of the mobile Phone can be activated or deactivated as desired.

Die bereits integrierten Tasten des mobilen Telefons (Nummernblock, Menü-, Abheben- bzw. Auflegen-Taste etc.) fungieren dabei, als Maus-Tasten und können bei Bedarf (mittels der Telefon-Software) zusätzlich frei mit diversen Maus-Funktionalitäten belegt werden.The already integrated buttons of the mobile telephones (numeric keypad, menu, talk or hang up key etc.) function while as mouse buttons and can if required (using the telephone software) additionally freely assigned with various mouse functionalities become.

Zusätzlich können sog. „Scroll-Räder" in das mobile Telefon integriert werden, die die bekannten Scroll-Funktionen existierender Computer-Mäuse unterstützen bzw. ermöglichen.In addition, so-called "scroll wheels" can be integrated into the mobile phone, which support the known scroll functions of existing computer mice or enable.

Die bereits integrierten Schnittstellen am mobilen Telefon (seriell, USB, Infrarot, Funk etc.) können nach wie vor zur Verbindung mit dem Computer uneingeschränkt genutzt werden, sind aber um die Funktionen der Maus erweitert und bieten damit die notwendige Grundlage für die Kommunikation mit dem Computer.The already integrated interfaces on the mobile phone (serial, USB, infrared, radio, etc.) used as before to connect to the computer without restrictions are, but are expanded and offer the functions of the mouse thus the necessary basis for communicating with the computer.

Durch Bewegung des mit dem Computer in Verbindung stehenden mobilen Telefons auf der jeweiligen Unterlage (hier: Schreibtischplatte, Maus-Pad etc.) wird die Position des Mauszeigers auf dem Computer-Bildschirm festgelegt.By moving the computer related mobile phones on the respective pad (here: desktop, mouse pad etc.) the position of the Cursor set on the computer screen.

Additive Klick- bzw. Scroll-Funktionen werden dabei durch Drücken der Tasten des mobilen Telefons emuliert.Additive click or scroll functions are pressed emulated the keys of the mobile phone.

Die Vorteile dieser Erfindung liegen klar auf der Hand:

  • 1. Beim Einsatz von Computern (insbesondere Laptops, Notebooks etc.) muss keine zusätzliche Maus-Hardware mehr mitgeführt werden.
  • 2. Das mobile Telefon fungiert als Maus und bietet bereits einen Großteil der Funktionalitäten bestehender Computer-Mäuse (Tasten, Schnittstellen etc.).
  • 3. Das mobile Telefon kann während des Einsatzes als Computer-Maus über die jeweilige Schnittstelle (z. B. USB etc.) mit Strom versorgt und somit der Akku des Gerätes gleichzeitig aufgeladen werden.
  • 4. In Konferenzen kann das Klingeln von mobilen Telefonen sehr störend wirken. Schaltet man das mobile Telefon während der Benutzung als Computer-Maus auf den (je nach Modell verfügbaren) Vibrationsalarm, so spürt man einen Anruf sofort, da das mobile Telefon fortwährend in der Hand genutzt wird.
The advantages of this invention are obvious:
  • 1. When using computers (especially laptops, notebooks etc.), no additional mouse hardware has to be carried.
  • 2. The mobile phone functions as a mouse and already offers a large part of the functionality of existing computer mice (buttons, interfaces, etc.).
  • 3. The mobile phone can be supplied with power via the respective interface (eg USB etc.) during use as a computer mouse and thus the device's battery can be charged at the same time.
  • 4. The ringing of mobile phones can be very disruptive in conferences. If you switch the mobile phone to the vibration alarm (depending on the model) while using it as a computer mouse, you will feel a call immediately, as the mobile phone is used continuously in your hand.

Zusätzliche Erweiterungs- und Einsatzmöglichkeiten:Additional expansion and application options:

Natürlich wäre es denkbar, die Funktion des Vibrationsalarms von mobilen Telefonen dahingehend zu nutzen, dass insbesondere bei Computer-Spielen dieser für ein „Gefühl" der dargestellten Spiel-Umgebung oder -Situation sorgt. Hierbei liefert der Computer (bzw. das Computerspiel) über die Schnittstelle zum mobilen Telefon Befehle für den Einsatz des Vibrationseffektes (sog. „Feedback").Of course, the function would be conceivable use the vibrating alert of mobile phones that especially in computer games this for a "feeling" of the game environment or Situation. The computer (or the computer game) delivers via the interface commands for mobile phone the use of the vibration effect (so-called "feedback").

Beispiele aus möglichen Computerspiel-Situationen:

  • – Fahren über holpriges bzw. steiniges Gelände
  • – Bewegen von Lebewesen oder Gegenständen
  • – etc.
Examples from possible computer game situations:
  • - Driving over bumpy or stony terrain
  • - Moving living beings or objects
  • - Etc.
