Description

Technical Field

[0002] As an accessory of a computer, a mouse is the most commonly used and main input device. Through the mouse, information such as cursor instructions, sliding instructions, and selection instructions can be input into the computer, thereby issuing commands to the computer and inputting data, etc. Conventional mice generally come with a roller for scrolling up and down web pages or files. However, the existing mouse rollers generally only determine the sliding instructions through mechanical encoders, and the sliding speed is constant. When flipping through a long article or web page, when reaching the bottom or a relatively later position of the article, it is necessary to slide little by little, and the control is not smooth, the operation is very inconvenient, and the user experience is poor.

[0003] For example, when a programmer is writing code, it is necessary to continuously scroll up and down quickly through the roller to view the code. By the pressure roller method, a scrolling speed of about 1000 lines per second can be achieved at the fastest, and the speed can be flexibly adjusted by the pressure, making the roller operation more relaxed and efficient.

Detailed implementation manners

[0036] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the attached drawings and specific implementation manners. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The inventor found through analyzing the prior art that: in the existing mouse structure, the mouse scroll wheel always issues input commands by setting a single mechanical encoder, and determines the input commands according to the scrolling distance of the mouse scroll wheel detected by the mechanical encoder, but the speed of the input commands cannot be adjusted. For some scenarios such as browsing long web pages, when adjusting the screen to the end or a position further back of the web page through the scroll wheel command, the operation is very inconvenient.

[0038] In the embodiments of this application, aiming at the drawback that the mouse scroll wheel in the prior art cannot adjust the scrolling speed and is inconvenient to operate in some scenarios, this application proposes a solution to adjust the mouse scroll wheel command by setting a somatosensory pressure switch. Specifically: a dual-mode scroll wheel mouse, including a mouse housing, a mechanical encoder, a left mouse button, a right mouse button, a mouse scroll wheel, and a somatosensory pressure switch; the mechanical encoder, the left mouse button, the right mouse button, and the somatosensory pressure switch are all arranged inside the mouse housing, the mouse scroll wheel is arranged between the left mouse button and the right mouse button, the mouse scroll wheel corresponds to the mechanical encoder, and the somatosensory pressure switch is arranged at the bottom of the mouse scroll wheel; when pressing the mouse scroll wheel, the somatosensory pressure switch detects the pressure applied by the mouse scroll wheel and switches the speed change of the output scroll wheel command through the change of the pressure. By setting the somatosensory pressure switch, when rotating the mouse scroll wheel, it will receive the pressure and switch the command output mode of the mouse scroll wheel through the pressure, which is convenient for adjusting the scrolling speed of the scroll wheel command output when the mouse scroll wheel rotates. Through the somatosensory pressure switch, the mouse scroll wheel can be switched between the mouse scroll wheel in the traditional mechanical encoder mode and the mechanical encoder mode plus pressure scroll wheel mode, which is convenient for users to cope with various usage scenarios and enables the scroll wheel to be quickly rotated by the pressure method.

[0039] Refer to Figure 1-2, which shows a dual-mode roller mouse, including a mouse housing, a mechanical encoder 102, a left mouse button 103, a right mouse button 104, a mouse roller 201, and a somatosensory pressure switch 101; the mechanical encoder 102, the left mouse button 103, the right mouse button 104, and the somatosensory pressure switch 101 are all arranged inside the mouse housing, the mouse roller 201 is arranged between the left mouse button 103 and the right mouse button 104, the mouse roller 201 corresponds to the mechanical encoder 102, and the somatosensory pressure switch 101 is arranged at the bottom of the mouse roller 201; when the mouse roller 201 is pressed, the somatosensory pressure switch 101 detects the pressure applied by the mouse roller 201 and switches the speed change of the output roller command through the change of the pressure. By setting the somatosensory pressure switch 101, when the mouse roller 201 is rotated, it will receive pressure and switch the command output mode of the mouse roller through the pressure, which is convenient for adjusting the rolling speed of the rolling command output when the mouse roller 201 rolls.

[0040] It should be noted that the somatosensory pressure switch 101 can also be adjusted using a pressure sensor. Replace the position of the middle mouse button of a conventional mouse with the somatosensory pressure switch 101. The somatosensory pressure switch 101 can adopt the pressure switch disclosed in the patent number ZL202010652699.5, or other third-party pressure sensors;

[0041] Set a pressure threshold for the experience pressure switch 101. When the pressure exceeds the threshold, the middle mouse button command is triggered, without affecting the functions of a conventional mouse;

[0042] The input method of the command is:

[0043] When the mechanical encoder 102 is rotated, the roller function is output, and the roller direction when the mechanical encoder 102 stops is set as the action direction of the somatosensory pressure switch 101;

[0044] Press the mouse roller 201, convert the pressure value into a roller function, the rolling direction is the action direction, and the pressure magnitude determines the roller speed;

[0045] Set a conversion threshold for the action direction of the mouse roller 201. When the pressure pressing the mouse roller 201 is greater than the conversion threshold of the action direction, it is prohibited to change the roller direction when pressing.

[0046] When the pressure roller acts and the mouse is moved up and down, the roller direction can be changed. Define the action moving pixel points when the cursor moves. When the displacement pixel points are greater than the defined threshold, the rolling direction is changed according to the cursor moving direction;

[0047] Implementation method of the middle mouse button: Press the left mouse button 103 and the right mouse button 104 simultaneously to convert them into a middle mouse button command (for example, a starting delay time for the functions of the left mouse button 103 and the right mouse button 104 can be defined, and the pixel affected by the cursor can be defined). When the left mouse button 103 or the right mouse button 104 is pressed, the timing for the function of the left or right button is started. When the timing is less than the defined starting delay time, the functions of the left or right button are not responded to. If both buttons are pressed simultaneously within the starting delay time of the function, they are converted into the middle mouse button. If the left mouse button 103 or the right mouse button 104 is pressed and the pressing time is less than the conduction time value, when released, the functions of the left and right buttons are immediately output, or when the mouse is moved and the number of pixels moved is greater than the defined pixel, the functions of the left or right button command are output.

[0048] Next, the dual-mode scroll wheel mouse in this exemplary embodiment will be further described.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, as Figure 3-4 shown, it further includes a first function key 108 and a second function key 109; the first function key 108 and the second function key 109 are arranged side by side vertically at the position where the thumb is placed on the side of the mouse housing;

[0050] When the first function key 108 is pressed, the mouse issues a mouse 4-key command or a copy command;

[0051] When the second function key 109 is pressed, the mouse issues a mouse 5-key command or a paste command.

[0052] It should be noted that the first function key 108 and the second function key 109 can be set as the 4th and 5th keys of the mouse or as the copy key and the paste key. The first function key 108 and the second function key 109 are arranged side by side vertically at the position where the thumb of the human finger is placed. When a single function key needs to be pressed, the thumb only needs to move up and down, without moving back and forth. When copy and paste operations need to be frequently performed, the first function key 108 can be defined as a copy command, and the second function key 109 can be defined as a paste command. When the thumb moves up and down to press the first function key 108 or the second function key 109, the corresponding command can be sent, and the operation is more convenient.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, it further includes a pcb board, and the mechanical encoder 102, the left mouse button 103, the right mouse button 104, the mouse scroll wheel 201, and the body feeling pressure switch 101 are all connected to the pcb board.

[0054] It should be noted that the pcb board provides mechanical support for fixing and assembling various electronic components such as integrated circuits, realizes wiring and electrical connection or electrical insulation between various electronic components such as integrated circuits, and provides the required electrical characteristics.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, an encoder mode adjustment key 106 is further included. The encoder mode adjustment key 106 is disposed on the top of the mouse housing and is connected to the pcb board.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present application, a scroll wheel speed adjustment key 107 is further included. The scroll wheel speed adjustment key 107 is disposed on the top of the mouse housing and is connected to the pcb board.

[0058] It should be noted that by setting the scroll wheel speed adjustment key 107, the scrolling instruction speed of the mouse scroll wheel 201 in the conventional scroll wheel mode can be switched, and different scrolling speed instructions can be output without using the pressure sensor function, which is convenient for adapting to various usage scenarios.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, a displacement sensor 105 is further included. The displacement sensor 105 is disposed at the bottom of the mouse housing.

[0060] It should be noted that the displacement sensor 105 is a setting of a conventional mouse, and the output instruction of the scroll wheel direction in the mechanical encoder mode plus the pressure scroll wheel mode can be changed through the displacement sensor.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the mouse housing includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are snap-connected, and the mouse scroll wheel part protrudes from the upper shell.

[0062] It should be noted that basically all mouse accessories are disposed on the lower shell. The mouse upper shell is as Figure 3 shown, and corresponding mechanical buttons are provided at corresponding button positions and are set in a shape suitable for the ergonomic principle, which is convenient for operating with the palm.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, 4 wear-resistant pads are further provided at the bottom of the mouse housing.

[0064] It should be noted that the wear-resistant pads can be set to make the mouse have a certain angle, improve the operation feel, facilitate operation, and prevent the bottom of the mouse housing from directly contacting the operation surface, thereby improving the service life.

[0065] Referring to Figure 5 , in an embodiment of the present application, a method for implementing a dual-mode mouse is further provided. The method is implemented by any of the above dual-mode scroll wheel mice and includes the steps:

[0066] S510. When the somatosensory pressure switch receives pressure, obtain the historical rolling direction and pressure value of the mechanical encoder;

[0067] S520. Determine the command rolling direction based on the historical rolling direction;

[0068] S530. Determine the rolling speed based on the pressure value;

[0069] S540. Determine the rolling command based on the command rolling direction and the rolling speed.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, a pressure threshold needs to be set for the somatosensory pressure switch, and the command is triggered only when the pressure exceeds the pressure threshold to prevent incorrect commands caused by accidental touch.

[0071] Next, the implementation method of a dual-mode mouse in this exemplary embodiment will be further described.

[0072] As described in step S510, when the somatosensory pressure switch receives pressure, obtain the historical rolling direction and pressure value of the mechanical encoder.

[0073] It should be noted that when the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the acquisition command can be triggered to obtain the current pressure and the rolling direction of the previous mechanical encoder, and the rolling direction and pressure value of the previous mechanical encoder are used as the command basis.

[0074] As described in step S520, determine the command rolling direction based on the historical rolling direction;

[0075] It should be noted that the rolling direction of the previous mechanical encoder, that is, the historical rolling direction, is set as the command direction for this time.

[0076] As described in step S530, determine the rolling speed based on the pressure value.

[0077] As described in step S540, determine the rolling command based on the command rolling direction and the rolling speed.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, it further includes:

[0079] Obtain the moving direction of the cursor and the number of pixel points;

[0080] When the number of pixel points is greater than a preset value, update the rolling direction of the rolling command according to the moving direction.

[0081] It should be noted that for ease of operation, when the scroll instruction is triggered, the scrolling direction of the scroll wheel can be changed according to the movement of the mouse cursor. When the mouse cursor moves beyond the threshold, the scrolling direction of the instruction is changed to the direction of the cursor movement. When the pressure scroll wheel acts and the mouse is moved up and down, the scrolling direction of the scroll wheel can be changed. Define the pixel points for movement when the cursor moves. When the displacement pixel points are greater than the defined threshold, the scrolling direction is changed according to the cursor movement direction.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, it further includes:

[0083] Obtain the rotation value of the mouse scroll wheel;

[0084] When the rotation value is greater than a preset value, update the scroll instruction according to the rotation value.

[0085] It should be noted that for ease of operation, when the scroll instruction is triggered and the rotation amplitude of the mouse scroll wheel exceeds the threshold, the scrolling direction of the instruction can be changed according to the rotation direction of the mouse scroll wheel. Set a threshold for the conversion of the acting direction of the mouse scroll wheel. When the pressure applied to the mouse scroll wheel is greater than the threshold for the conversion of the acting direction, the scrolling direction of the scroll wheel is prohibited from changing when pressed.
