Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of computer peripherals, and in particular to a two-in-one mouse. Background Art

[0002] In the current computer peripheral market, optical mouse and gesture recognition devices, as important tools to enhance user interaction experience, have penetrated into every aspect of daily life.

[0003] The working principle of the optical mouse is as follows: the light emitted by the light-emitting diode illuminates the bottom surface of the mouse, and the reflected light is focused by the optical lens and transmitted to the optical sensor for imaging. When the mouse moves, its movement trajectory is recorded as a set of coherent images taken at high speed. These images are then transmitted to the interface microprocessor (DSP) for analysis and processing. By comparing the position changes of the feature points in the image, the movement speed and direction of the mouse are calculated, and this information is transmitted to the computer to control the movement of the cursor on the screen.

[0004] The working principle of gesture recognition equipment is to identify the user's gesture action image through the camera, and then perform pre-processing operations such as denoising and filtering on the image to improve data quality. Then, the gesture features (such as finger position, motion trajectory, etc.) are extracted from the pre-processed image, and gesture recognition is performed using machine learning algorithms or pattern recognition algorithms. Finally, the recognized gesture information is transmitted to the corresponding computer to achieve interaction with the user.

[0005] However, current optical mouse and gesture recognition devices are usually connected to the computer as two independent peripherals, and it is impossible for a single device to support both mouse control and gesture recognition functions.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 6 The present embodiment provides a two-in-one mouse, comprising a mouse housing 1 and a bottom plate 2. An integrated sensor 3 and a control mainboard 4 are arranged inside the mouse housing 1. The integrated sensor 3 is arranged in the middle of the mouse housing 1. The integrated sensor 3 comprises a photoelectric sensor 301, a gesture recognition sensor 302, an accelerometer / gyroscope 303 and a sensor switching controller 304. The photoelectric sensor 301 is provided with a light transmitting end and a light receiving end. The sensor switching controller 304 is respectively connected to the photoelectric sensor 301, the gesture recognition sensor 302, the accelerometer / gyroscope 303 and the control mainboard 4. The sensor switching controller 304 controls the opening and closing of the photoelectric sensor 301 and the gesture recognition sensor 302 according to the change of the placement angle of the mouse housing 1 detected by the accelerometer / gyroscope 303; the bottom plate 2 comprises a placement portion 201 and a transparent portion 202.

[0041] When the bottom plate 2 is mounted on the bottom of the mouse housing 1, the photoelectric sensor 301 is vertically downward toward the transparent portion 202. The sensor switching controller 304 turns on the photoelectric sensor 301 and turns off the gesture recognition sensor 302 according to the change in the placement angle of the mouse housing 1 detected by the accelerometer / gyroscope 303, and enters the mouse mode. In the mouse mode, the light emitting end of the photoelectric sensor 301 continuously emits infrared rays of a certain frequency, and the emitted infrared rays are reflected back by the bottom surface and received by the light receiving end of the photoelectric sensor 301 to form an image. When the mouse moves, its movement trajectory is recorded as a set of high-speed continuous images. These images are then transmitted to the microprocessor (DSP) of the control main board 4 for analysis and processing. By comparing the position changes of the feature points in the image, the movement speed and direction of the mouse are calculated, and this information is transmitted to the computer, thereby controlling the movement of the cursor on the screen. In addition, by setting the transparent portion 202, the bottom plate 2 can protect the safety of the integrated sensor 3 inside the mouse housing 1 while ensuring the normal operation of the integrated sensor 3 without affecting the normal operation of the mouse.

[0042] When the mouse housing 1 is flipped over and placed on the placement portion 201 of the bottom plate 2, the gesture recognition sensor 302 faces outward at a certain tilt angle. The sensor switching controller 304 turns on the gesture recognition sensor 302 and turns off the photoelectric sensor 301 according to the change in the placement angle of the mouse housing 1 detected by the accelerometer / gyroscope 303, and enters the gesture recognition mode. In the gesture recognition mode, the gesture recognition sensor 302 can recognize the user's gestures and provide more intuitive solutions to complex situations. Whether it is zooming in and out of pictures, controlling brushes, 3D modeling, or controlling robotic arms, it can be done competently, which can significantly improve the user experience.

[0043] The two-in-one mouse provided in this embodiment can present two usage modes of mouse mode and gesture recognition mode through structural innovation, so as to adapt to operation requirements in various scenarios; by integrating the optical mouse and the gesture recognition device into one device, the desktop space is reduced, and the cumbersomeness of connecting multiple peripherals is avoided; by setting the accelerometer / gyroscope 303 to detect the change of the placement angle of the mouse shell 1, the working mode (mouse mode or gesture recognition mode) is automatically switched, thereby improving the convenience and flexibility of use; whether it is a conventional mouse operation or a complex gesture recognition operation, the user can quickly switch on the same device without changing the device, thereby improving work efficiency; compared with purchasing two independent devices, the purchase and maintenance costs of the two-in-one mouse are lower.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4In one embodiment, a placement plane 101 is provided at the middle and rear end of the upper surface of the mouse housing 1, the upper surface of the placement portion 201 is a plane, and the inclination angle of the placement plane 101 is 30-60°. By providing a placement plane 101 with an inclination angle of 30-60° at the middle and rear end of the upper surface of the mouse housing 1, and setting the upper surface of the placement portion 201 as a plane, when the mouse is flipped over and placed on the placement portion 201 of the bottom plate 2, the gesture recognition sensor 302 inside it faces the user at this specific inclination angle. The inclination angle range is neither too steep to make it difficult for the user to make gestures comfortably, nor too gentle to affect the accuracy of gesture recognition, so that the user can perform gesture control in a natural and comfortable way without adjusting his or her hand posture or position. Preferably, the inclination angle of the placement plane 101 is 45°.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, a battery 5 is arranged inside the mouse housing 1, and a wireless charging receiving coil 6 is arranged inside the placement plane 101 of the mouse housing 1. Both the battery 5 and the wireless charging receiving coil 6 are connected to the control mainboard 4. A wireless charging transmitting coil 7 and a charging control board 8 that cooperate with the wireless charging receiving coil 6 are arranged inside the placement portion 201 of the bottom plate 2. A charging interface 9 for connecting to an external power source is arranged on one side of the placement portion 201. The charging control board 8 is connected to the wireless charging transmitting coil 7 and the charging interface 9 respectively. By arranging a battery 5 inside the mouse housing 1, it is used to provide power support for various functions of the mouse. At the same time, the wireless charging receiving coil 6 is also cleverly integrated inside the placement plane 101 of the mouse housing 1. When the mouse housing 1 is placed on the placement portion 201 of the bottom plate 2 that supports wireless charging, it can receive the wireless charging signal from the bottom plate 2 and convert the electric energy into electric energy in the battery 5.

[0046] In one embodiment, a first magnetic member is disposed inside the placement plane 101 of the mouse housing 1, and a second magnetic member magnetically connected to the first magnetic member is disposed inside the placement portion 201 of the bottom plate 2. Through the magnetic connection, the mouse housing 1 can be firmly placed on the bottom plate 2 after being turned over, and is not easy to slip due to slight touch or vibration, which not only improves the user experience, but also ensures the stability of the mouse housing 1 during charging or gesture control. In addition, the magnetic attraction of the magnetic member can guide the mouse housing 1 to quickly and accurately position itself on the placement portion 201 of the bottom plate 2 and automatically align. The user does not need to spend extra time and effort to ensure that the mouse housing 1 is placed correctly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In addition, in the above embodiments, the first magnetic component may be a positive magnet, and the second magnetic component may be a negative magnet; or the first magnetic component is a negative magnet, and the second magnetic component is a positive magnet; or the first magnetic component is a magnet, and the second magnetic component is an iron block; or the first magnetic component is an iron block, and the second magnetic component is a magnet.

[0048] See also Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the mouse housing 1 protrudes downward to form a U-shaped assembly portion 102, and the outer contour of the transparent portion 202 is U-shaped, and the transparent portion 202 can be slidably assembled with the assembly portion 102. The arrangement of the assembly portion 102 provides a stable mounting frame for the transparent portion 202 and allows the transparent portion 202 to slide inside the assembly portion 102, thereby realizing rapid assembly or separation of the mouse housing 1 and the bottom plate 2.

[0049] Specifically, the inner wall of the assembly part 102 is provided with a slide groove 1021, and the two ends of the slide groove 1021 extend to the two ends of the assembly part 102, providing a clear track for the sliding of the transparent part 202, and the outer side wall of the transparent part 202 is provided with a convex strip 2021 that matches the slide groove 1021. The close cooperation between the convex strip 2021 and the slide groove 1021 ensures the stability and smoothness of the transparent part 202 during the sliding process. At the same time, the setting of the convex strip 2021 and the slide groove 1021 also limits the moving range of the transparent part 202, preventing it from accidentally falling off from the assembly part 102.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, the transparent portion 202 is made of transparent material, such as glass, acrylic, or high-quality plastic.

[0051] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, a Bluetooth module 10 for connecting and communicating with a computer is provided inside the mouse housing 1, and the Bluetooth module 10 is connected to the control mainboard 4. The Bluetooth module 10 is a low-power, short-range wireless communication technology module that can realize wireless data transmission between the mouse and the computer. The biggest advantage of Bluetooth connection is wireless freedom. Users do not need to worry about the constraints of cables and can move the mouse more flexibly. In addition, Bluetooth connection also has lower power consumption, which helps to extend the battery 5 life of the mouse. Bluetooth connection makes the mouse particularly suitable for scenarios that require higher mobility and flexibility, such as home entertainment, office meetings, etc. At the same time, it is also suitable for users who want to reduce desktop clutter and pursue a simple style.

[0052] See also Figure 7In another embodiment, a USB interface 11 for connecting and communicating with a computer may also be provided on the mouse housing 1, and the USB interface 11 is connected to the control mainboard 4. Connecting and communicating with a computer via a wired manner through the USB interface 11 is one of the most common connection methods between a computer and an external device. USB connection has the advantages of stability, reliability, and fast transmission speed. Since it is a wired connection, there is no problem of signal interference or delay, and the accuracy of mouse operation can be ensured. In addition, the USB interface 11 also has a wide range of compatibility and can be connected to almost any computer with a USB port.
