[0034] The collection end 3 is a ring-shaped conductive induction structure and is arranged on the outer periphery of the mouse scroll wheel 2.

[0035] It should be noted that the ring-shaped conductive induction structure is used for induction and conduction of a human body capacitance signal, can be made of metal material, or can be made by spraying a conductive layer on the surface of a non-conductive base body, the conductive layer can be directly used, or an insulating protective layer can be further coated on the surface of the conductive layer to improve the touch feeling of the scroll wheel, and the ring-shaped conductive induction structure conducts the human body induction capacitance signal to a touch induction device.

[0037] The encoder module is fixed in the interior of the mouse body 4 and is electrically connected with the touch component 1.

[0038] The controller is fixed in the interior of the mouse body 4 and is electrically connected with the encoder module.

[0040] In the embodiment, the touch component sends the rolling value and the corresponding time stamp according to the direction of the scroll wheel when the finger touches and rolls the scroll wheel.

[0041] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the touch component 1 is specifically a single-key touch detection chip, an output end of the single-key touch detection chip is electrically connected with an input end of the encoder module, and an output end of the encoder module is electrically connected with an input end of the controller.

[0043] In the embodiment, the encoder module can be a mechanical encoder, an optical encoder, a Hall encoder, etc.

[0044] In the embodiment, the encoder module sums up the scroll values corresponding to the time stamps in the collection time period T before the user stops touching, to obtain a total scroll value sum S; the initial angular velocity ω of the inertia scroll of the mouse scroll wheel 2 is calculated according to the total scroll value sum S and the preset collection time period T.

[0045] In the embodiment, the calculation process of the initial angular velocity ω of the inertia scroll of the mouse scroll wheel 2 is as follows:

[0046]

[0047] Wherein, T is the preset collection time period; S is the total scroll value sum S corresponding to the time stamps in the collection time period T.

[0048] In the embodiment, when the finger leaves the scroll wheel, the total scroll value S in a period of time T before the finger leaves is calculated, for example, T = 200 ms, and the total scroll value S is the sum of the absolute values of the scroll values corresponding to the time stamps in 200 ms before the finger leaves.

[0049] In the embodiment, the controller obtains a damping parameter a, and performs attenuation processing on the initial angular velocity ω based on the damping parameter a, to obtain a first angular velocity ω t at the time t in the inertia scroll stage.

[0050] The calculation process of the first angular velocity ω t is as follows:

[0051] ω t = ω - at.

[0052] Wherein, ω t is the first angular velocity corresponding to the time t; ω is the initial angular velocity; a is the damping parameter.

[0053] The first angular velocity corresponding to each time in the inertia scroll stage is calculated one by one, and the inertia scroll of the mouse is simulated on the display end according to the first angular velocity calculated at each time.

[0058] In the embodiment, the ring-shaped conductive induction structure comprises a plurality of coating blocks, the plurality of coating blocks are arranged on the outer periphery of the mouse wheel 2 in a ring shape, or the ring-shaped conductive induction structure is a closed ring-shaped metal coating, and the metal coating is distributed on the outer periphery of the mouse wheel 2 and arranged coaxially with the mouse wheel 2.

[0059] In the embodiment, the material of the mouse wheel 2 can be plastic, and an outer layer color layer can be sprayed after spraying a conductive metal coating on the outside, so that the wheel keeps different color patterns. Or a conductive ring is buried inside the plastic, close to the edge of the mouse wheel 2, so that the finger sensing is ensured while the diversity of the wheel implementation pattern is ensured. A sawtooth-shaped protrusion can also be provided on the surface of the collection end 3 to facilitate rotation operation.

[0060] In the embodiment, the outer ring of the wheel can be a half-arc shape, so that the touch can still be stably detected when the wheel is pressed or the wheel is moved left and right. This design greatly reduces the weight of the mouse.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 The mouse body 4 further comprises a damping setting assembly, the damping setting assembly comprises a trigger switch, a damping induction module, a mouse signal control switch, an output end of the trigger switch is electrically connected with an input end of the mouse signal control switch, the output end of the trigger switch is electrically connected with an input end of the damping induction module, an output end of the mouse signal control switch is electrically connected with a mouse signal input end, and the input end of the damping induction module is electrically connected with a rotating shaft of the mouse wheel 2; and an output end of the damping induction module is in communication connection with a controller.

[0064] In the embodiment, the trigger switch of the damping parameter can be multiplexed with the same key as the DPI. It can be set to short press to realize DPI adjustment, and long press to enter damping adjustment when the indicator light is on.

[0066] In the embodiment, the size of the damping parameter a is adjusted by the forward and backward rolling of the mouse wheel 2, and the display terminal can be a prompt light or a liquid crystal screen, so that the size of the damping parameter a can be prompted by the light intensity of the prompt light or the liquid crystal screen provided on the mouse. Thus, the damping parameter a is visually adjusted, which facilitates real-time adjustment of the damping parameter a and improves the user experience.

[0067] In the embodiment, the mouse wheel 2 can also be set to only collect data, and the algorithm processing part of the inertial rolling is placed on the host computer. After the mouse wheel 2 collects data, it is fed back to the host computer in time, and then receives the result processed by the host computer, and completes the inertial rolling operation according to the result processed by the host computer.

[0072] In the embodiment, as shown, Figure 6 As shown, the mouse further comprises a photosensitive sensor, an LED module and a Bluetooth switching module, and the size of the damping parameter a is prompted by the light intensity of the prompt light provided on the mouse.

[0073] It should be noted that when the mouse is inertially rolled, the inertial rolling state can be indicated by the LED light, vibration feedback and the like.
