[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this disclosure, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of this disclosure described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this disclosure provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed disclosure, but merely represents selected embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure. Without conflict, the various embodiments of this disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Similarly, the terms “an,” “a,” or “the,” and similar terms do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one. The terms “comprising,” “including,” or “including,” and similar terms mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects.

[0045] In this disclosure, "multiple or several" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0046] In recent years, the rise of flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology has opened up entirely new possibilities for mouse design. Flexible OLED is a self-emissive display technology with many advantages that traditional display solutions cannot match. Its extremely high contrast ratio can present purer blacks and more vivid colors, making the displayed image more realistic and lifelike. Its extremely fast response speed can significantly reduce motion blur in dynamic images, ensuring users receive clear and smooth visual feedback during high-speed operations. Furthermore, flexible OLED has a wide viewing angle; even when viewed from different angles, color and brightness remain consistent, bringing convenience to multi-user collaboration and flexible usage scenarios. Most importantly, flexible OLED technology breaks the traditional limitations of mouse form factor. With its thin, flexible, and bendable characteristics, the mouse can be designed according to ergonomic principles and even personalized to the user's hand shape and grip habits, thereby greatly improving comfort during extended use.

[0047] However, despite the new vitality that flexible OLED technology has injected into mouse design, current products still fall short in terms of functional integration and intelligence. Most mice simply overlay OLED display modules with traditional mouse functions, failing to fully explore the technology's potential in interaction and information presentation. For example, while the touch sensors integrated into current mouse surfaces have functionally transitioned from traditional buttons to touch operation, their interaction level remains relatively basic, mostly limited to single-point touch or limited multi-point touch gestures. In multitasking scenarios, most OLED mice cannot provide real-time computer system status information (such as CPU and memory usage), making it difficult for users to intuitively grasp background processes and affecting their work efficiency. Regarding health and wellness, existing products also lack monitoring and analysis of user habits such as posture and duration of use, failing to provide targeted health reminders and suggestions. Furthermore, facing the increasingly prevalent need for multi-device collaboration, most existing OLED mice are still limited to single-device connectivity, making seamless switching and information synchronization across devices difficult, which to some extent restricts their applicability in modern hybrid office environments.

[0048] In order to at least solve one of the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a mouse and computer system. The mouse and computer system provided by this disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] In a first aspect, embodiments of this disclosure provide a mouse. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first type of mouse provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the mouse includes: a mouse body 10, a supporting outer frame 20, and an inner support plate 30; the mouse body 10 includes: a flexible display module 100; the supporting outer frame 20 includes: a bottom 201 and a side portion 202 connected to the bottom 201; the bottom 201 is located on the non-display side of the flexible display module 100; the side portion 202 overlaps with the edge of the flexible display module 100; the inner support plate 30 is located between the flexible display module 100 and the bottom 201, and its edge overlaps with the side portion 202; the mouse also includes: a touch sensing layer 40 and a microcontroller 50; the touch sensing layer 40 is integrated into the flexible display module 100, or located on the side of the flexible display module 100 away from the inner support plate 30, and is used to collect different types of gesture operation signals applied by the user; the microcontroller 50 is located on the side of the inner support plate 30 away from the bottom 201, and is used to convert the gesture operation signals into control commands to perform gesture control on the terminal device.

[0050] The flexible display module 100 can serve as the mouse body 10, and it preferably employs OLED display technology. OLED display modules possess characteristics such as self-illumination, high contrast, and fast response speed. Furthermore, due to their flexible and thin physical form, they can closely conform to the curved shape of the mouse, thereby achieving a dynamic and customizable visual interaction interface on the mouse surface. This not only deeply integrates display functions into the mouse body 10 but also provides a practical technical foundation for its adaptive form and diversified interaction methods, further expanding the mouse's application potential in ergonomic adaptation and intelligent interaction. The length of the mouse body is generally between 120mm and 160mm, the width between 60mm and 90mm, and the thickness between 30mm and 50mm to accommodate users with different hand shapes and ensure comfortable grip.

[0051] The supporting frame 20 consists of a bottom 201 and a side portion 202 connected to the bottom 201. The bottom 201 is located on the non-display side of the flexible display module 100, providing it with stable foundation support. The side portion 202 extends upward from the edge of the bottom 201 and overlaps with the edge of the flexible display module 100, thus forming a lateral covering and support for the flexible display module 100. The bottom 201 and the side portion 202 adopt a one-piece molded structure, both of which can be made of high-rigidity, lightweight metal or engineering plastic. This not only effectively maintains the overall structural shape of the mouse and prevents the flexible display module 100 from being damaged by external pressure or repeated bending, but also works in conjunction with the inner support plate 30 to ensure the reliable assembly of internal components and the structural durability for long-term use, thereby improving the overall stability and service life of the product.

[0052] An inner support plate 30 is disposed between the flexible display module 100 and the bottom 201 of the supporting outer frame 20, with its edge overlapping the inner side of the side portion 202 to form a stable nested support structure. The inner support plate 30 can be made of a material with certain rigidity and thermal conductivity, such as a thin metal sheet or a composite reinforced plate. The inner support plate 30 not only serves to disperse external pressure and protect the flexible display module 100, but also works in conjunction with the supporting outer frame 20 to fix internal components and provides a reliable mounting surface for components such as the microcontroller 50.

[0053] The touch sensing layer 40 can be integrated into the internal structure of the flexible display module 100 (not shown in this case), or it can be stacked on the outer surface of the flexible display module 100 away from the inner support plate 30 (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown). Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a touch sensing layer, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the touch sensing layer 40 contains an array of multiple touch structures 401, which can be self-capacitive or mutual-capacitive touch structures. The array of touch structures 401 can sense and acquire various gesture operation signals applied by the user through contact or proximity operations in real time, including but not limited to single-point touch, multi-point touch, swipe trajectory, and specific pressing gestures. The array of touch structures 401 can convert the user's gesture operation signals into high-precision electrical signals, and reliably detect the touch position, finger movement direction, touch duration, and contact pattern. Thus, the touch sensing layer 40 can not only perform traditional cursor positioning and tapping operations, but also support rich touch and gesture interaction functions, providing an accurate and stable input signal source for the subsequent microcontroller 50 to perform gesture recognition and control command conversion.

[0054] The microcontroller 50 is located on the side of the inner support plate 30 opposite to the bottom 201 of the outer support frame 20. It can receive raw gesture operation signals collected from the touch sensing layer 40 and, through embedded signal processing algorithms and instruction mapping logic, convert these raw gesture operation signals into control commands that can be recognized and executed by the terminal device in real time. In this process, the microcontroller 50 can perform noise reduction, analysis, and pattern recognition on the input signal to accurately determine the user's operation intention and generate corresponding control commands, which are then sent to the terminal device to achieve accurate and low-latency response to gesture control.

[0055] Figure 3A This is a schematic diagram of the first type of finger touch control. Figure 3B This is a diagram illustrating the second type of finger touch control, as shown below. Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, on the touch sensing layer 40, users can control the movement of the cursor on the terminal device page in real time by sliding their fingers, achieving intuitive operation synchronized with the mouse pointer trajectory. Simultaneously, for the physical clicking operations required by a traditional mouse, confirmation commands can be completed by double-clicking on this touch sensing layer 40, making it easier for people with limited hand mobility or difficulty in fine motor skills to use. By reducing the required force and simplifying interaction gestures, it significantly improves the ease of use and accessibility of controlling the mouse and terminal device, embodying the inclusive and barrier-free principles of human-computer interaction design.

[0056] Figure 4A This is a diagram illustrating the third type of finger touch control. Figure 4B This is a diagram illustrating the fourth type of finger touch control. Figure 4C This is a diagram illustrating the fifth type of finger touch control, as shown below. Figures 4A to 4C As shown, on the touch sensing layer 40, users can execute preset specific gesture commands, enabling them to control the terminal interface more intuitively and efficiently. For example, swiping a finger horizontally to the left or right can trigger scrolling of the terminal device page in the corresponding direction, or enable quick switching between different applications; swiping a finger vertically upward or downward can control the terminal device page to scroll up and down; and swiping a finger diagonally to the lower left and upper right can control the terminal device page to zoom in and out. This interaction method simplifies complex operations into natural gestures, significantly improving the efficiency and smoothness of user operations in browsing, navigation, and multitasking scenarios.

[0057] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a flexible display module provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown below. Figure 5As shown, the flexible display module 100 includes: a flexible display panel 101, a heat dissipation layer 102, a support layer 103, a flexible circuit board 104, a gasket 105, a back film 106, a polarizer 107, a cover plate 108, and an optical adhesive layer 109; the flexible display panel 101 includes: a display part 101A, a bending part 101B, and a bonding part 101C; the bonding part 101C is connected to the display part 101A through the bending part 101B, and is bent to the non-display side of the display part 101A; the heat dissipation layer 102 is located on the non-display side of the display part 101A; the support layer 103 is located on the side of the heat dissipation layer opposite to the display part 101A; the flexible... One end of the circuit board 104 is connected to the bonding part 101C, and the other end is connected to the microcontroller 50, extending to the side of the support layer 103 away from the display part 101A; the gasket 105 is located between the flexible circuit board 104 and the support layer 103; the back film 106 is located between the display part 101A and the heat dissipation layer 102 and between the bonding part 101C and the support layer 103; the polarizer 107 is located on the display side of the display part 101A; the cover plate 108 is located on the side of the polarizer 107 away from the display part 101A, and the edge of the cover plate 108 is connected to the side part 202; the optical adhesive layer 109 is located between the polarizer 107 and the cover plate 108.

[0058] The flexible display panel 101 can be composed of a display section 101A, a bending section 101B, and a bonding section 101C. The bonding section 101C is connected to the display section 101A via the bending section 101B and is bent to the non-display side of the display section 101A. The display section 101A can serve as the core display area, and the bonding section 101C can be bonded to other devices, such as a flexible circuit board 104, to provide driving signals to the light-emitting devices in the display section 101A. Because the bonding section 101C is connected to the display section 101A via the bending section 101B and bent to the non-display side of the display section 101A, it does not need to occupy the bezel of the display section 101A, thus achieving an extremely narrow bezel design.

[0059] The heat dissipation layer 102 can adopt a multi-layer film stacked composite structure, such as super clean foam (SCF). SCF is usually a composite layer composed of adhesive layer and copper foil. It firmly attaches the copper foil to the back of the display unit 101A through the adhesive layer, forming an efficient heat conduction path. It can dissipate the heat generated by the display unit 101A and other components during operation in a timely manner, avoiding heat accumulation inside the flexible display module, thereby helping to improve the heat dissipation performance and long-term reliability of the flexible display module.

[0060] The support layer 103 can be made of metal or high-performance composite materials. It not only serves as a core structural reinforcement, effectively improving the rigidity and stability of the overall component, but also possesses excellent thermal conductivity, rapidly dissipating and releasing heat generated by internal components. Through the combination of its robust physical support and efficient heat dissipation path, the support layer 103 provides crucial protection for the mouse's long-term reliable operation, ensuring its structural integrity and thermal management efficiency during prolonged or high-load use.

[0061] The flexible circuit board 104 connects the bonding section 101C and the microcontroller 50 to establish an electrical connection between them. The flexible circuit board 104 can reliably and stably transmit the display drive signals generated by the microcontroller 50 to the bonding section 101C, thereby driving the display section 101A to display images according to preset content. Thanks to its flexible and thin structure, the flexible circuit board 104 can adapt to complex wiring paths within a limited space and withstand repeated bending, thus ensuring the stability of the flexible display module.

[0062] The gasket 105 is located between the flexible circuit board 104 and the support layer 103. It can be made of high-performance polymer materials, possessing excellent bonding strength, durability, and good interface stability. Under the stress of complex environments such as mechanical vibration, impact, and thermal cycling, the gasket 105 can continuously maintain a firm fit between the bonding part 101C and the heat dissipation layer 102, effectively dispersing local stress and suppressing interface delamination. Therefore, it provides crucial protection for the structural integrity and functional reliability of the flexible display module throughout its assembly process and entire service life.

[0063] The back film 106 is located between the display unit 101A and the heat dissipation layer 102 and between the bonding part 101C and the support layer 103. It can be made of materials such as polyimide (PI) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or stainless steel (SUS) or ultra-thin glass (UTG). The above materials have excellent flexibility, insulation and thermal stability, and can provide reliable physical protection and interface support for the back of the display unit 101A and the bonding part 101C.

[0064] The polarizer 107 is located on the display side of the display unit 101A. It has polarization characteristics for light and can effectively filter and absorb ambient light incident at a specific angle, thereby significantly suppressing light reflection and glare interference on the surface of the display unit 101A. This ensures that the displayed content remains clear and legible even in strong light environments, effectively improving the visual contrast of the picture and the user's viewing experience.

[0065] The cover plate 108 is located on the side of the polarizer 107 away from the display section 101A. As the outermost protection and optical interface of the display module, it is closely attached to the display side surface of the display section 101A. Its edge area overlaps with the side 202 of the support frame 20 surrounding the bending section 101B, together forming a complete sealing and support system. This provides a physical barrier against impact and scratches for the display section 101A below. The precise fit between its edge and the side 202 of the support frame 20 also effectively enhances the rigidity of the overall structure and ensures the positional stability and operational safety of the bending section 101B under complex stress environments.

[0066] The optical adhesive layer 109 is located between the polarizer 107 and the cover plate 108, serving as an adhesive, filler, and buffer. The optical adhesive layer 109 is typically made of an optical-grade transparent material with high light transmittance, low haze, and good elasticity. It can tightly adhere to the surfaces of the polarizer 107 and the cover plate 108, effectively eliminating interlayer gaps and reflections, and improving the overall optical performance and structural strength of the flexible display module. It not only helps enhance the bonding stability between the various film layers, preventing peeling during bending or stress, but also absorbs external impacts to a certain extent, protecting the underlying polarizer 107 and display unit 101A from damage.

[0067] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display portion in the flexible display panel provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the display unit 101A is divided into a first display area AA1, a second display area AA2, and a third display area AA3; the first display area AA1 is used to display mouse status information; the second display area AA2 is used to display user status information; and the third display area AA3 is used to display terminal device status information.

[0068] The display unit 101A can be divided into three independent display areas: a first display area AA1, a second display area AA2, and a third display area AA3. The first display area AA1 displays the mouse's own status information in real time, such as battery level, connection mode, DPI settings, and function mode indicators. The second display area AA2 monitors and provides feedback on the user's status information, such as operation duration prompts, gesture guidance icons, or personalized touch feedback. The third display area AA3 synchronously displays the terminal device's status information, such as system notifications, CPU and memory usage, network status, and key indicators of currently running applications. This partitioned display design allows for the categorized presentation of various information, enabling users to simultaneously access the multi-dimensional status of the mouse, their own operations, and the terminal device without switching interfaces, significantly improving the intuitiveness of interaction and the efficiency of information acquisition.

[0069] In some embodiments, the touch sensing layer 40 is located on the side of the display section 101A near the cover plate 108, or on the side of the cover plate 108 away from the display section 101A.

[0070] The touch sensing layer 40 can be disposed between the display unit 101A and the cover plate 108, i.e., adjacent to the upper surface of the display unit 101A, or disposed on the outer side of the cover plate 108, i.e., on the side of the cover plate 108 facing away from the display unit 101A. The former solution helps to achieve tight integration between the touch sensing layer 40 and the display unit 101A, improving touch positioning accuracy and response speed, while the latter facilitates independent packaging and maintenance of the touch sensing layer 40, and allows for direct touch interaction on the surface of the cover plate 108. Regardless of the layout, the touch sensing layer 40 can effectively detect the user's touch gestures, ensuring accurate acquisition and transmission of interaction signals.

[0071] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a second type of mouse provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the mouse also includes a wireless communication module 60; the wireless communication module 60 is connected to the microcontroller 50 and is located on the side of the inner support plate 30 away from the bottom 201 of the outer support frame 20.

[0072] The wireless communication module 60 is located on the side of the inner support plate 30 opposite to the bottom 201 of the outer support frame 20, and is electrically connected to the microcontroller 50. The wireless communication module 60 can transmit control commands generated by the microcontroller 50 to the terminal device in the form of wireless signals, and receive feedback information from the terminal device. Internally, it can integrate at least one of a Bluetooth module 601 and a wireless local area network module 602 (Wi-Fi) and a corresponding antenna structure to support stable, low-latency two-way communication.

[0073] The Bluetooth module 601 and the wireless LAN module 602 can operate independently through multiple channels, while being coordinated by the microcontroller 50. Users can execute specific gestures or switch commands on the touch sensing layer 40, causing the microcontroller 50 to select the corresponding wireless communication module 60 and channel. This enables seamless switching and cross-device transmission of cursor control, operation commands, and data across multiple bound terminal devices. In this way, a single mouse can efficiently manage a multi-device working environment consisting of computers, tablets, and smartphones, significantly improving the smoothness of cross-platform and cross-device collaborative operations and overall control efficiency.

[0074] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a third type of mouse provided in an embodiment of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 8As shown, the mouse also includes: a rechargeable battery 701, a charging management circuit 702, and a charging interface 703; the rechargeable battery 701 is connected to the charging management circuit 702, and both are located on the bottom 201 of the supporting frame 20 near the inner support plate 30; the charging interface 703 is connected to the charging management circuit 702 and is embedded in a through hole that penetrates the side 202 of the supporting frame 20.

[0075] The rechargeable battery 701 is electrically connected to the charging management circuit 702. Both are located on the bottom 201 of the supporting frame 20, near the inner support plate 30, which helps save internal space and maintain a stable center of gravity. The charging management circuit 702 is responsible for charging control, status monitoring, and charge / discharge protection of the rechargeable battery 701, ensuring safe and efficient power management. The charging interface 703 is connected to the charging management circuit 702 and is embedded in a through hole on the side 202 of the supporting frame 20. Its interface end face is flush with or slightly protruding from the surface of the side 202, facilitating the connection of external charging cables without affecting the overall appearance and grip. In practical applications, the charging interface 703 can be a universal or dedicated charging interface type such as a USB interface or a Type-C interface.

[0076] In some embodiments, the mouse further includes a power management chip (not shown in the figure); one end of the power management chip is connected to the rechargeable battery 701 and the charging management circuit 702, and the other end is connected to the microcontroller 50.

[0077] The power management chip is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 701, the charging management circuit 702, and the microcontroller 50, respectively, and is used to monitor the power supply status of the rechargeable battery 701 in real time, perform voltage conversion, and manage power consumption. Using the power management chip, information such as the voltage, charge level, and charging / discharging status of the rechargeable battery 701 can be collected and transmitted to the microcontroller 50. The microcontroller 50 generates corresponding status data and display instructions based on this, thereby driving the corresponding area of ​​the display unit 101A (such as the first display area AA1) to display visual information such as the remaining battery power, charging status, or low battery warning in real time.

[0078] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fourth mouse provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 9 As shown, the mouse also includes an accelerometer 801; the accelerometer 801 is connected to the microcontroller 50 and is located on the side of the inner support plate 30 away from the bottom 201 of the outer support frame 20.

[0079] The accelerometer 801 can detect the user's hand posture, applied force, and overall motion and acceleration changes of the mouse in three-dimensional space in real time and in multiple dimensions. By accurately acquiring and converting the above physical information, the microcontroller 50 can identify the user's specific grip pattern and operation intention, thereby enabling adaptive adjustments to parameters such as cursor sensitivity and button function mapping. At the same time, the accelerometer 801 can also expand the interaction dimension of the mouse from planar touch control to spatial posture perception, supporting quick operations triggered by shaking, tilting, and tapping, thereby significantly improving the naturalness, efficiency, and personalization of the interaction method.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the mouse also includes a biosensor 802; the biosensor 802 is connected to the microcontroller 50 and is located on the side of the cover plate 108 near the display unit 101A.

[0081] The mouse also includes a biosensor 802, which is electrically connected to the microcontroller 50 and positioned on the side of the cover plate 108 near the display unit 101A. The biosensor 802 may include at least one of a heart rate sensor, a blood pressure sensor, and a blood oxygen sensor, used to collect corresponding physiological data when the user's finger or palm contacts the cover plate 108. The real-time physiological data acquired by the biosensor 802 is processed by the microcontroller 50 and can be fed back to the second display area AA2 of the display unit 101A for visualization, or used to determine the user's physical condition and fatigue level, thereby providing operation reminders and health suggestions.

[0082] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fifth mouse provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, as shown below. Figure 10 As shown, the mouse also includes a light sensor 901; the light sensor 901 is connected to the microcontroller 50 and is located on the side of the cover plate 108 near the display unit 101A.

[0083] The light sensor 901 can determine whether a user's hand is obstructing the display unit 101A by sensing changes in ambient light intensity in real time. When a hand touches the mouse, the ambient light intensity decreases significantly. After detecting this change, the light sensor 901 sends a signal to the microcontroller 50, which then controls the display unit 101A to temporarily turn off or dim the display to save power and reduce visual interference. When the hand leaves the mouse, the light intensity returns to normal, the light sensor 901 detects the change again, and the microcontroller 50 drives the display unit 101A to resume normal display of information content. In addition, some light sensors 901 can also integrate infrared or ultrasonic proximity detection units, which can accurately determine whether a hand is close to the mouse surface by actively emitting and receiving reflected signals, thereby achieving more sensitive and reliable display status control and further improving the intelligence and energy efficiency of the interaction.

[0084] Secondly, this disclosure provides a computer system including terminal devices and a mouse as provided in any of the above embodiments. The number of terminal devices can be one or more, and each terminal device establishes a connection with the mouse through a wireless communication module integrated in the mouse to achieve instruction and data interaction.
