Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of computer peripherals, and particularly relates to a two-in-one mouse. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current computer peripheral market, photoelectric mice and gesture recognition devices, as important tools for improving user interaction experience, have penetrated into all aspects of daily life.

[0003] The working principle of a photoelectric mouse is that a light-emitting diode emits light to illuminate the bottom surface of the mouse, the reflected light is focused by an optical lens and then transmitted to an optical sensor to form an image. When the mouse moves, its moving track is recorded as a set of high-speed consecutive images. These images are then transmitted to an interface microprocessor (DSP) for analysis and processing. By comparing the position changes of feature points in the images, the moving speed and direction of the mouse are calculated, and these information is transmitted to the computer to control the movement of the cursor on the screen.

[0004] The working principle of a gesture recognition device is to recognize user gesture action images through a camera, and then perform preprocessing operations such as denoising and filtering on the images to improve data quality. Then, the features of the gesture (such as finger position, motion trajectory, etc.) are extracted from the preprocessed images, and machine learning algorithms or pattern recognition algorithms are used for gesture recognition. Finally, the recognized gesture information is transmitted to the corresponding computer to realize interaction with the user.

[0005] However, the current photoelectric mouse and gesture recognition device are usually connected to the computer as two independent peripherals, which cannot realize the function of supporting mouse control and gesture recognition at the same time with a single device, which increases the user's use cost and complexity, and limits the portability and flexibility of the device.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a two-in-one mouse, including a mouse shell 1 and a base plate 2. An integrated sensor 3 and a control motherboard 4 are disposed inside the mouse shell 1. The integrated sensor 3 is located in the middle of the interior of the mouse shell 1 and includes 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 emitting end and a light receiving end. The sensor switching controller 304 is connected to the photoelectric sensor 301, the gesture recognition sensor 302, the accelerometer / gyroscope 303, and the control motherboard 4, respectively. 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 in the placement angle of the mouse shell 1 detected by the accelerometer / gyroscope 303. The base plate 2 includes a placement part 201 and a transparent part 202.

[0041] When the base plate 2 is mounted on the bottom of the mouse shell 1, the photoelectric sensor 301 faces vertically downwards towards the transparent part 202. The sensor switching controller 304, based on the change in the placement angle of the mouse shell 1 detected by the accelerometer / gyroscope 303, activates the photoelectric sensor 301 and deactivates the gesture recognition sensor 302, entering mouse mode. In mouse mode, the light-emitting end of the photoelectric sensor 301 continuously emits infrared light of a certain frequency. The emitted infrared light is 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 series of high-speed captured continuous images. These images are then transmitted to the microprocessor (DSP) of the control motherboard 4 for analysis and processing. By comparing the positional changes of feature points in the images, the mouse's movement speed and direction are calculated, and this information is transmitted to the computer to control the cursor movement on the screen. Furthermore, by providing the transparent part 202, the base plate 2 protects the integrated sensor 3 inside the mouse shell 1 while ensuring its normal operation without affecting the normal operation of the mouse.

[0042] When the mouse shell 1 is flipped and placed on the placement part 201 of the base plate 2, the gesture recognition sensor 302 faces outward at a certain tilt angle. Based on the change in the placement angle of the mouse shell 1 detected by the accelerometer / gyroscope 303, the sensor switching controller 304 activates the gesture recognition sensor 302 and deactivates the photoelectric sensor 301, entering gesture recognition mode. In gesture recognition mode, the recognition of user gestures by the gesture recognition sensor 302 provides more intuitive solutions for complex situations. Whether it's zooming in and out of images, controlling a drawing pen, 3D modeling, or controlling a robotic arm, it can handle these tasks effectively, significantly improving the user experience.

[0043] The 2-in-1 mouse provided in this embodiment, through structural innovation, can present two usage modes: mouse mode and gesture recognition mode, to adapt to the operational needs of various scenarios. By integrating the optical mouse and gesture recognition device into one device, it reduces the desktop space occupied and avoids the cumbersome need to connect multiple peripherals. By setting an accelerometer / gyroscope 303 to detect changes in the placement angle of the mouse shell 1, it automatically switches the working mode (mouse mode or gesture recognition mode), improving the convenience and flexibility of use. Whether performing regular mouse operations or complex gesture recognition operations, users can quickly switch on the same device without changing devices, thereby improving work efficiency. Compared to purchasing two separate devices, the purchase and maintenance costs of the 2-in-1 mouse are lower.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4In one embodiment, a placement plane 101 is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the mouse shell 1. The upper surface of the placement part 201 is flat, and the tilt angle of the placement plane 101 is 30-60°. By providing a placement plane 101 with a tilt angle of 30-60° at the rear end of the upper surface of the mouse shell 1, and setting the upper surface of the placement part 201 to be flat, when the mouse is flipped and placed on the placement part 201 of the base plate 2, the gesture recognition sensor 302 inside faces the user at this specific tilt angle. This tilt angle range is neither too steep, making it difficult for the user to make gestures comfortably, nor too gentle, affecting the accuracy of gesture recognition, allowing the user to perform gesture control in a natural and comfortable way without adjusting their hand posture or position. Preferably, the tilt angle of the placement plane 101 is 45°.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, a battery 5 is disposed inside the mouse shell 1, and a wireless charging receiving coil 6 is disposed inside the placement surface 101 of the mouse shell 1. Both the battery 5 and the wireless charging receiving coil 6 are connected to the control motherboard 4. A wireless charging transmitting coil 7 and a charging control board 8 that cooperate with the wireless charging receiving coil 6 are disposed inside the placement part 201 of the base plate 2. A charging interface 9 for connecting to an external power source is disposed on one side of the placement part 201. The charging control board 8 is connected to the wireless charging transmitting coil 7 and the charging interface 9 respectively. By disposing of a battery 5 inside the mouse shell 1, power is provided for various functions of the mouse. At the same time, the wireless charging receiving coil 6 is cleverly integrated inside the placement surface 101 of the mouse shell 1. When the mouse shell 1 is placed on the placement part 201 of the base plate 2 which supports wireless charging, it can receive wireless charging signals from the base plate 2 and convert electrical energy into electrical energy in the battery 5.

[0046] In one embodiment, a first magnetic element is provided inside the placement surface 101 of the mouse shell 1, and a second magnetic element is provided inside the placement portion 201 of the base plate 2, which is magnetically connected to the first magnetic element. Through this magnetic connection, the mouse shell 1 can be stably placed on the base plate 2 after being flipped over, preventing it from slipping due to slight touches or vibrations. This not only improves the user experience but also ensures the stability of the mouse shell 1 during charging or gesture control. Furthermore, the magnetic force of the magnetic element guides the mouse shell 1 to quickly and accurately position itself on the placement portion 201 of the base plate 2, automatically aligning it. Users do not need to spend extra time and effort to ensure the mouse shell 1 is placed correctly, thus 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 may be a negative magnet and the second magnetic component may be a positive magnet; or the first magnetic component may be a magnet and the second magnetic component may be an iron block; or the first magnetic component may be an iron block and the second magnetic component may be a magnet.

[0048] Please see Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the mouse shell 1 protrudes downward to form a U-shaped mounting portion 102, and the outer contour of the transparent portion 202 is U-shaped. The transparent portion 202 can be slidably mounted with the mounting portion 102. The mounting portion 102 provides a stable mounting frame for the transparent portion 202 and allows the transparent portion 202 to slide inside it, thereby realizing quick assembly or separation of the mouse shell 1 and the base plate 2.

[0049] Specifically, the inner wall of the assembly part 102 is provided with a groove 1021, the two ends of which extend to the two ends of the assembly part 102, providing a clear trajectory for the sliding of the transparent part 202. The outer wall of the transparent part 202 is provided with a protrusion 2021 that cooperates with the groove 1021. The tight cooperation between the protrusion 2021 and the groove 1021 ensures the stability and smoothness of the transparent part 202 during the sliding process. At the same time, the provision of the protrusion 2021 and the groove 1021 also limits the range of movement of the transparent part 202, preventing it from accidentally falling off the assembly part 102.

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

[0051] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, a Bluetooth module 10 for communication with a computer is disposed inside the mouse casing 1. The Bluetooth module 10 is connected to the control motherboard 4. The Bluetooth module 10 is a low-power, short-range wireless communication technology module that enables wireless data transmission between the mouse and the computer. The biggest advantage of Bluetooth connectivity is wireless freedom; users do not need to worry about the constraints of cables and can move the mouse more flexibly. In addition, Bluetooth connectivity has low power consumption, which helps extend the life of the mouse's battery 5. Bluetooth connectivity makes the mouse particularly suitable for scenarios requiring high mobility and flexibility, such as home entertainment and office meetings. It is also suitable for users who want to reduce desktop clutter and pursue a minimalist style.

[0052] Please see Figure 7In another embodiment, a USB interface 11 for connecting and communicating with a computer can also be provided on the mouse casing 1, and the USB interface 11 is connected to the control motherboard 4. Connecting and communicating with a computer via a wired connection through the USB interface 11 is one of the most common connection methods between a computer and external devices. USB connections have advantages such as stability, reliability, and high transmission speed. Because it is a wired connection, there are no signal interference or delay issues, ensuring the accuracy of mouse operation. Furthermore, the USB interface 11 has wide compatibility and can be connected to almost any computer with a USB port.

[0053] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
