Description

Color-changing mouse with color sensing

The creation is a color-changing mouse with color sensing, specifically a structure that can sense the color of the external environment and generate a corresponding color light source on the mouse.

In recent years, due to the advancement of technology, various electronic products have been continuously introduced. Their appearance and backlight effect have always been one of the key points for young consumers to compare products, and the mouse can be said to be very important when using computers. one of the tools.

However, most of the backlight special effects on commercially available LED mice are written in the mouse's Micro Control Unit (MCU) by firmware (FW), which produces a limited number of special effects. The scalability is poor and needs to be switched or set by the user. The LED on the mouse cannot change the color of the light source on its own according to the color of the environment, and it is easy to lose the freshness.

In view of this, the creator of this project used his many years of experience in related design practices to actively research and improve it. After making and testing multiple physical samples, he further specifically improved the above-mentioned shortcomings of the conventional design, and finally completed this creation.

In order to overcome the above shortcomings, this invention provides a color-changing mouse with color sensing, which uses a color sensor to sense external colors and controls the LED element to generate a light source of a corresponding color to achieve the lighting effect on the mouse. Can change with the color of the environment.

The creation is a color-changing mouse with color sensing, which includes a mouse, at least one color sensor, a plurality of LED components and a control unit; the mouse has a shell; the color sensor is arranged on the The outer surface of the casing is used to sense the color of the corresponding area in the outside world; the LED element is disposed on the casing and used to generate a light source; and the control unit is disposed in the mouse and is electrically connected to the color sensor The detector and the LED component; the control unit is used to receive the color information measured by the color sensor, and control each LED component to generate a light source of a corresponding color based on the color information.

Based on the above design, this creation uses a color sensor to sense external colors, and controls each LED light source to produce a light source of a corresponding color, so that the light effect on the mouse can change with the color of the corresponding working plane below the mouse, solving the problem The disadvantage of general LED mice is that they cannot change the color of the light source according to the environment.

The following is a detailed description with specific examples and drawings, so that the review committee can have a better understanding of the technical features of this invention.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4 , which is a first embodiment of a color-changing mouse with color sensing of the present invention, which includes a mouse 10 , a color sensor 20 , a plurality of LED components 30 and a control unit 40 .

The mouse 10 has a housing 11 . The mouse 10 can have a wired or wireless structure. The bottom of the casing 11 has an optical sensor 12 for tracking the movement of the mouse 10 on the desktop or other smooth surfaces. The top of the casing 11 has a scroll wheel and buttons (because It is a common knowledge structure, so I won’t go into details.)

The color sensor 20 can be a color sensor or other sensor that can sense the color of an object. The color sensor uses optical sensor technology and measures the color of the object by detecting the light reflected by the object. Therefore, in this invention, the color sensor 20 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 11 so as to sense the color of the corresponding area in the outside world. For example, the color sensor 20 is disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 11. When the mouse 10 is placed on the desktop, the color sensor 20 can measure the color of the desktop in the corresponding area.

The LED element 30 is a multi-color light-emitting diode (RGB LED), or a light-emitting diode array composed of a plurality of multi-color light-emitting diodes (RGB LED), which can be driven to generate light sources of multiple colors. Each LED element 30 is respectively disposed on the top outer surface of the housing 11 so that the top outer surface of the housing 11 can produce light effects. In addition, the LED element 30 can also be formed into one of text, symbols, graphics or a combination thereof through a plurality of multi-color light-emitting diode arrays. For example: the plurality of light-emitting diodes in some LED elements 30 are arrayed into a geometric pattern, A plurality of light-emitting diodes in other LED components 30 are arrayed into geometric patterns or logos, so that the top of the housing 11 forms a variety of light effects with different shapes.

The control unit 40 is a microprocessor, which is disposed in the mouse 10 and is electrically connected to each color sensor 20 and each LED element 30 . The control unit 40 can receive the color information measured by the color sensor 20, and control each LED element 30 to generate a light source of a corresponding color according to the color information, so that the invention can form a discoloration that can change the color of the light source according to the color of the external environment. mouse.

In this embodiment, the color-changing mouse with color sensing of the present invention also includes a first groove 51 and a plurality of second grooves 52. The first groove 51 is recessed at an appropriate position on the bottom surface of the housing 11 (for example: central area), and each second groove 52 is respectively recessed at an appropriate position on the outer surface of the top of the housing 11 . Among them, each color sensor 20 is correspondingly arranged in the first groove 51 and is located on the bottom surface of the housing 11, and each LED element 30 is correspondingly arranged in each second groove 52, and then distributed in the housing. 11 on the top outer surface.

Thereby, when the mouse 10 is placed on a working surface (desktop or platform), the color sensor 20 on the bottom surface of the housing 11 can sense the color of the working surface and transmit it to the control unit 40, thereby causing the control unit 40 to Each LED element 30 is driven to generate a light source corresponding to the color of the working plane. For example: when the color of the working plane is white, the control unit 40 controls each LED element 30 to generate a white light source, and when the mouse 10 moves to the yellow working plane, the control unit 40 controls each LED element 30 to generate a yellow light source. Create a color-changing mouse that can change the light source at any time according to the color of the environment.

Of course, in other possible embodiments, a plurality of first grooves 51 may be recessed on the bottom surface of the housing 11, and a plurality of color sensors 20 may be provided correspondingly. When each color sensor 20 senses a plurality of different color information respectively, the control unit 40 can also control each LED element 30 to generate light sources of different colors through settings to form a colorful light effect. For example: there are two color sensors 20, and the working plane is a mouse pad made of red, green and blue. When the color information sensed by one of the color sensors 20 is red, the other color When the color information sensed by the sensor 20 is blue, the control unit 40 controls some of the LED elements 30 to generate a red light source, and controls another part of the LED elements 30 to generate a blue light source. However, the invention is not limited to this. In practice, the number or range of the LED elements 30 controlled by the control unit 40 can be set according to the user's needs according to the color information sensed by each color sensor 20 .

Please refer to Figure 5, which is the second embodiment of the color-changing mouse with color sensing of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that each second groove 52 is respectively recessed on the top inner surface of the housing 11. , each LED element 30 is correspondingly arranged in the second groove 52 . At least a part of the housing 11 is made of light-transmitting material, and the light-transmitting material corresponds to the distribution area of each second groove 52 . Thereby, when the control unit 40 controls each LED element 30 to generate a light source, the light source can penetrate the housing 11 to generate light effects.

As can be seen from the above description, the color-changing mouse with color sensing of the present invention can sense the color of the working surface below the mouse through the color sensor, and control each LED element to generate a light source of a corresponding color, thereby making the mouse achieve the desired performance. The effect of changing the light effect color according to the color of the external environment. Especially when there are multiple colors on the working surface (for example, a mouse pad with multiple colors on the surface), the mouse will correspond to different colors respectively during the movement of the mouse, causing each LED element to continuously change as the mouse moves. Change light effect color.
