[0002] Mouse is an input device for computers, which enables users to control computers. According to their working principles, mice are divided into mechanical mice and optical mice. Mechanical mice are mainly composed of a ball, a roller and a grating signal sensor. When the mouse is dragged, the ball rotates, and the ball in turn rotates the roller. The grating signal sensor installed at the end of the roller collects the grating signal. The photoelectric pulse signal generated by the sensor reflects the displacement change of the mouse in the vertical and horizontal directions, and then controls the movement of the cursor arrow on the screen through processing and conversion by the computer program.

[0003] A general computer mouse moves to a certain position and operates by clicking, and the input form is relatively simple. A general mouse usually has two light-touch buttons. In addition to the two light-touch buttons, there is also a scroll wheel in the middle to turn pages. Some advanced mice have two scroll wheels, one for the X-axis and the other for the Y-axis. However, most mice are ordinary mice with only one scroll wheel for turning pages.

[0004] However, due to the popularity of competitive games in recent years, three-dimensional interface games are also loved by most players. In many large-scale games, people or objects need to walk, run, jump, fly, squat, rotate, etc., and scene transitions are also required, such as scene translation, zooming, rotation, perspective switching, etc.; this makes many games require the cooperation of mouse and keyboard to complete the action control in the game, and many action buttons are distributed far apart on the keyboard, which is very inconvenient to operate, which brings great inconvenience to the game players, making it impossible to experience a good game effect due to the inconvenience of operation during the game.

[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2An intelligent control device shown includes a controller, wherein the controller includes a left controller and a right controller.

[0024] The left-hand controller includes a left-hand mouse shell 11, a function key 12, a left-hand control key 13, a reverse button 14, an information processing circuit I, a communication circuit I, an electromagnetic displacement sensing device I15 for sensing the displacement deflection of the left-hand controller relative to the original position, and a movement sensing device I16 for sensing the forward, backward, left or right movement of the left-hand controller. The left-hand control key 13 and the function key 12 are respectively arranged on the upper surface of the left-hand mouse shell 11, the electromagnetic displacement sensing device I15 is arranged at the bottom of the left-hand mouse shell 11, and the reverse button 14 is arranged on a side wall of the left-hand mouse shell 11 and is controlled by the left thumb. The function key 12, the left-hand control key 13, the reverse button 14, and the movement sensing device I16 are all connected to the communication circuit I through the information processing circuit I.

[0025] The right controller includes a right mouse shell 21, a selection key 22, a right-hand control key 23, a forward button 24, an information processing circuit II, a communication circuit II, an electromagnetic displacement sensing device II 25 for sensing the displacement of the right controller relative to the original position, and a movement sensing device II 26 for sensing whether the right controller moves forward, backward, left or right. The selection key 22 and the right-hand control key 23 are respectively arranged on the upper surface of the right mouse shell 21, the electromagnetic displacement sensing device II 25 is placed at the bottom of the right mouse shell 21, the forward button 24 is arranged on a side wall of the right mouse shell 21 and is controlled by the right thumb, and the selection key 22, the right-hand control key 23, the forward button 24, and the movement sensing device II 26 are all connected to the communication circuit II through the information processing circuit II.

[0026] The electromagnetic displacement sensing device I15 and the electromagnetic displacement sensing device II25 can be implemented by using existing technologies. Specifically, the following can be used: Figure 4 The structure shown includes a support structure 33, an elastic structure 34, and a pressure-sensitive pen 35. The spring member 37 in the elastic structure 34 is connected to the pressure-sensitive pen 35 through a locking screw 36. The pressure-sensitive pen of passive electromagnetic sensing does not need to be equipped with a battery but has a resonance circuit. The digital tablet transmits an alternating electromagnetic field through an antenna, and the pressure-sensitive pen receives and stores the energy of the alternating electromagnetic field. Then the pressure-sensitive pen transmits an electromagnetic signal back to the digital tablet; the pressure-sensitive pen 35 can use a passive electromagnetic sensing pressure-sensitive pen to reduce the power consumption. The pressure-sensitive pen can move the cursor on the display and drag files or icons. The electromagnetic displacement sensing device II25 can control the cursor by means of a pressure-sensitive pen.

[0027] The accelerometer integrated in the mobile phone can measure the acceleration values ​​in three directions, X, Y, and Z. The value in the X direction represents the horizontal movement of the mobile phone, the value in the Y direction represents the vertical movement of the mobile phone, and the value in the Z direction represents the vertical direction of the mobile phone in space. The direction of the sky is positive, and the direction of the earth is negative. Then the relevant acceleration value is transmitted to the operating system to judge its size change. For a device with an accelerometer installed, the device is pushed from left to right, and the acceleration of the X axis is positive. The device is pushed forward and backward, and the acceleration of the Y axis is positive. If it is pushed toward the sky with an acceleration of A m / s^2, the acceleration of the Z axis is A +9.81, so if you calculate the actual acceleration to offset the acceleration of gravity, you need to subtract 9.81.

[0028] The motion sensing device I 16 and the motion sensing device II 26 may use an acceleration sensor or a gesture recognition sensor in a motion sensor to recognize special motions.

[0029] The reverse button 14 and the forward button 24 can adopt a roller structure. In the game operation, a variety of postures and action changes are designed. The reverse button and the forward button can provide a hardware basis for the backward and forward signals. Forward and backward are commonly used operations in the game. Separating them into two buttons can improve the game experience. The correspondence between the reverse button, the forward button and the backward and forward signals can be set according to the back end of the game. The function key 12 corresponds to the right button function of the existing mouse structure and can provide a hardware basis for the pop-up menu. The selection key 22 corresponds to the left button of the existing mouse structure and can provide a hardware basis for the selection and confirmation signals. The left-hand control key 13 and the right-hand control key 23 are control shortcut keys, which can be matched according to the needs of the back end of the game to provide a hardware basis for different shortcut operations. The electromagnetic displacement sensing device is used to sense the displacement deflection of the controller relative to the original position, which can be used for operations such as X-axis page turning in ordinary operations and adjusting the field of view in three-dimensional mobile game operations.

[0030] It also includes a touch panel for sensing the movement trajectory of the left controller and the right controller and sending the control signal and movement trajectory signal to the terminal. The electromagnetic displacement sensing device II25 is used to mark the movement trajectory of the controller to provide a hardware basis for switching the field of view and the movement direction; the electromagnetic displacement sensing device I15 is used to detect the rotation angle of the center line of the left controller relative to the touch panel in real time, that is, the X-axis displacement and Y-axis displacement with the center of the touch panel as the origin. Electromagnetic displacement sensing devices and movement sensing devices are arranged on the left controller and the right controller; two touch panels are arranged to sense the displacement of the electromagnetic displacement sensing device Ⅰ15 and the electromagnetic displacement sensing device Ⅱ25 respectively; the movement trajectory and displacement of any controller can provide a control signal for the cursor movement, and the movement trajectory signal used for the cursor movement is finally determined according to the demand, and according to the convenience of the existing human operation, the movement trajectory signal of the right controller is preferentially used to determine the cursor movement signal; the movement trajectory of the left controller and the movement trajectory of the right controller are coordinated to provide a hardware basis for realizing the quick operation of swinging, jumping back and forth, left and right, and the swinging, jumping back and forth, left and right are separated, which can greatly improve the convenience of operation.

[0031] The intelligent control device of this embodiment can provide a hardware basis for implementing various game commands. The use of two controllers can avoid the problem of poor gaming experience caused by shortcut keys being too far apart, thereby enhancing the user's gaming experience.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment is optimized on the basis of the structure of the above embodiment, that is, there are multiple left-hand control keys 13 and right-hand control keys 23, preferably 4. There are 4 left-hand control keys 13 and 4 right-hand control keys 23, which can provide the setting of multiple operation instructions, and is more conducive to the quick setting of multiple actions and multiple operations in large-scale games.

[0034] The touch base includes a sensing panel 32 for sensing the moving tracks of the electromagnetic displacement sensing device Ⅰ15 and the electromagnetic displacement sensing device Ⅱ25, a main communication circuit for information interaction with the communication circuit Ⅰ and the communication circuit Ⅱ, and a data transmission circuit for transmitting the moving tracks and the information of the main communication circuit to the terminal. The data transmission circuit, the sensing panel 32, and the main communication circuit are all connected to the central control processor. The sensing panel 32 is arranged on the base plate body 31. The touch base as a whole can adopt the structure of an electromagnetic screen, and the sensing electromagnetic displacement sensing device Ⅰ15 and the electromagnetic displacement sensing device Ⅱ25 can adopt a pressure-sensitive pen structure. The pressure-sensitive pen is placed on the electromagnetic screen, and the moving tracks of the left controller and the right controller are determined by sensing the moving track of the pressure-sensitive pen. The basic principle of the electromagnetic screen is to identify sliding by the magnetic field changes generated by the pressure-sensitive pen during the operation of the pressure-sensitive pen and the sensor under the panel. Compared with the current mainstream capacitive screen, the implementation principles of the two are different, so the main applications are also different. Since the electromagnetic screen has a longitudinal induction, which is what we call pressure sensitivity, the electromagnetic screen is particularly suitable for handwriting and painting. The electromagnetic screen requires a pressure-sensitive pen for touch control. Unlike ordinary resistive or capacitive touch screens, it cannot be touched directly with fingers to avoid misjudgment caused by finger pressure.

[0035] The information processing circuit I and the information processing circuit II both realize the conversion of key information. Specifically, they include analog-to-digital conversion circuits to convert the analog signals of the electromagnetic displacement sensing device I15, the mobile sensing device I16, the electromagnetic displacement sensing device II25, and the mobile sensing device II26 into digital signals for subsequent transmission and processing. The analog-to-digital conversion circuit can use an 8-bit AD9284 dual-channel chip, which supports synchronous working mode and is specially optimized for low cost, low power consumption and ease of use. The conversion rate of each ADC is as high as 250 MSPS, and the dynamic performance is excellent. It is effective enough to extend the use time of the device and increase the operating speed so as to give full play to its working performance and realize more applications. The communication circuit I, the communication circuit II and the main communication circuit are wireless communication circuits, which transmit data through wireless signals. For example, existing wireless methods such as Bluetooth can be used for connection. The left-mounted controller and the right-mounted controller both include energy storage power supplies, and the energy storage power supplies include batteries and power conversion circuits. The batteries are connected to the power conversion circuits to provide power for the internal components of the controller. The data transmission circuit of the touch panel can transmit the operation signal to the active end through the USB interface data line. The buttons include function keys 12, left-hand control keys 13, reverse keys 14, selection keys 22, right-hand control keys 23, and forward keys 24. The connection with the information processing circuit and the communication circuit and the specific circuit can be realized by existing mature technologies, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Both the mobile sensing device Ⅰ16 and the mobile sensing device Ⅱ26 can use the CJMCU-7620 gesture recognition sensor. This gesture recognition sensor can integrate the gesture recognition function with the universal I2C interface into a single chip PAJ7620U2. It can recognize 9 gestures, including move up, move down, move left, move right, move forward, move backward, clockwise, circular - counterclockwise, up, down, left to right, and left to right. Gesture information can be accessed through the I2C bus. The core chip of the CJMCU-7620 gesture recognition sensor module design is PAJ7260u2, which is a body infrared recognition IC that supports communication with the I2C protocol.

[0037] The mobile sensing device II26 can also use the accelerometer integrated in the mobile phone, including the XY axis direction and the XZ axis direction. The accuracy and reliability of the output signal are increased by separating the sensing structure, and the left and right devices can effectively eliminate the interference between the axes when supported.

[0038] When in use, the left and right controllers are manually operated, and the control signals are transmitted to the terminal devices such as computers or notebooks through the information processing circuit, communication circuit, main communication circuit, central control processor, and data transmission circuit through the control of the function key 12, left-hand control key 13, reverse key 14, selection key 22, right-hand control key 23, and forward key 24. The moving track signal received by the sensor panel 32 is transmitted to the terminal devices such as computers or notebooks through the central control processor and data transmission circuit. The terminal devices such as computers or notebooks convert the received signals into corresponding control signals according to the game requirements to realize the game operation. Of course, the intelligent control device of this scheme is not only suitable for game operation, but also suitable for the operation of large software with multiple shortcut keys, such as CAD, MATLAB, etc.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment takes four left-hand control keys 13 and four right-hand control keys 23 as examples, and takes first-person shooter games such as Counter-Strike and CrossFire as examples to further illustrate the achievable quick operations.

[0041] The existing Counter-Strike and CrossFire games must use the four keys on the keyboard: WASD, B, Ctrl, and the space bar. In the game, the WASD keys are used to indicate front, left, back, and right to control the character's walking. The Ctrl key is used to control the character's "squatting", and the space bar is used to control the character's "jumping".

[0042] When using the device, for example in a first-person shooter game, the character needs to move frequently, and sometimes needs to switch from "walking" to "fast walking", or from "fast walking" to "running", or from "running" to "fast running" at various speeds, etc., then the operation of the two controllers can be provided, and different character actions and direction changes can be achieved according to the coordination of different buttons, and the different displacement distances can be reflected in the game as movements of various speeds.

[0043] The left-hand control key 13 and the right-hand control key 23 are used to realize the shortcut operation functions of the function keys that originally needed to be used in the keyboard, such as: B key, Ctrl key, space key, F1 key, etc.; the forward key 24 and the reverse key 14 are used to complete the forward and backward movements of the character.

[0044] When playing games, an intelligent control method is involved, including the following steps:

[0045] S100, obtaining signals of the function key 12, the left-hand control key 13, the reverse key 14, the electromagnetic displacement sensing device I 15, the movement sensing device I 16, the selection key 22, the right-hand control key 23, the forward key 24, the electromagnetic displacement sensing device II 25, and the movement sensing device II 26 on the intelligent control device in the above embodiment and transmitting them to the terminal;

[0046] S200, the computer terminal receives the above signal and converts the above signal into a control signal, such as a "squat" control signal, a "jump" control signal, a "fast walk" control signal, a "run" control signal, a forward control signal, and a backward control signal;

[0047] S300, completes the command actions of "squatting", "jumping", "walking fast", "running", forward and backward" according to the control signal, and realizes the rendering of the command actions.

[0048] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
