Through the mouse, cursor instructions, sliding instructions, selection instructions and other information can be input into the computer, so that commands and data can be input into the computer. The conventional mouse is generally provided with a scroll wheel for up and down browsing of web pages or files. However, the existing mouse scroll wheel generally only determines the sliding instruction through a mechanical encoder, and the sliding speed is constant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] The inventor found through analyzing the prior art that in the existing mouse structure, the mouse roller sends an input instruction by setting a single mechanical encoder, and the input instruction is determined according to the rolling distance of the mouse roller detected by the mechanical encoder, but the speed of the input instruction cannot be adjusted. For some scenes of browsing a long web page, etc., when the picture is adjusted to the end or rear position of the web page by the roller instruction, the operation is very inconvenient.

[0026] In the embodiments of the present application, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the mouse scroll wheel in the prior art, that is, the scroll speed cannot be adjusted and the operation is inconvenient in some scenarios, the present application provides a solution for adjusting the mouse scroll wheel command by setting a body sense pressure switch, specifically: a dual-mode scroll wheel mouse, comprising a mouse shell, a mechanical encoder, a mouse left button, a mouse right button, a mouse scroll wheel and a body sense pressure switch; the mechanical encoder, the mouse left button, the mouse right button and the body sense pressure switch are all arranged inside the mouse shell, the mouse scroll wheel is arranged between the mouse left button and the mouse right button, the mouse scroll wheel corresponds to the mechanical encoder, and the body sense pressure switch is arranged at the bottom of the mouse scroll wheel; when the mouse scroll wheel is pressed, the body sense pressure switch detects the pressure applied by the mouse scroll wheel, and the speed of the output scroll wheel command is switched by the change of the pressure. By setting the body sense pressure switch, the pressure is received when the mouse scroll wheel is rotated, and the instruction output mode of the mouse scroll wheel is switched by the pressure, so as to conveniently adjust the scroll speed of the output scroll command when the mouse scroll wheel is rolled. The body sense pressure switch enables the mouse scroll wheel to switch between the traditional mechanical encoder mode mouse scroll wheel and the mechanical encoder mode pressure scroll wheel mode, so as to facilitate the user to cope with various use scenarios and realize the rapid rotation of the scroll wheel by pressure.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-2 , a dual-mode scroll wheel mouse is shown, comprising a mouse shell, a mechanical encoder 102, a mouse left button 103, a mouse right button 104, a mouse scroll wheel 201 and a body sense pressure switch 101; the mechanical encoder 102, the mouse left button 103, the mouse right button 104 and the body sense pressure switch 101 are all arranged inside the mouse shell, the mouse scroll wheel 201 is arranged between the mouse left button 103 and the mouse right button 104, the mouse scroll wheel 201 corresponds to the mechanical encoder 102, and the body sense pressure switch 101 is arranged at the bottom of the mouse scroll wheel 201; when the mouse scroll wheel 201 is pressed, the body sense pressure switch 101 detects the pressure applied by the mouse scroll wheel 201, and the speed of the output scroll wheel command is switched by the change of the pressure. By setting the body sense pressure switch 101, the pressure is received when the mouse scroll wheel 201 is rotated, and the instruction output mode of the mouse scroll wheel is switched by the pressure, so as to conveniently adjust the scroll speed of the output scroll command when the mouse scroll wheel 201 is rolled.

[0028] It should be noted that the body sense pressure switch 101 can also be adjusted by using a pressure sensor, replacing the mouse middle button position of a conventional mouse, the body sense pressure switch 101 can adopt the pressure switch disclosed in patent No. ZL202010652699.5, or other third-party pressure sensors;

[0029] The experience pressure switch 101 is set with a pressure threshold, and when the pressure exceeds the threshold, the mouse middle key instruction is triggered, without affecting the normal mouse function.

[0030] The input mode of the instruction is:

[0031] When the mechanical encoder 102 is rotated, the output scroll wheel function is output, and the scroll wheel direction when the mechanical encoder 102 is stopped is set as the action direction of the experience pressure switch 101;

[0032] When the mouse scroll wheel 201 is pressed, the pressure value is converted into the scroll wheel function, the scroll direction is the action direction, and the pressure size determines the scroll wheel speed.

[0033] A mouse scroll wheel 201 action direction conversion threshold is set, and when the pressure of pressing the mouse scroll wheel 201 is greater than the action direction conversion threshold, the change of the scroll wheel direction when the scroll wheel is pressed is prohibited.

[0034] When the pressure scroll wheel is in action, the scroll wheel direction can be changed when the mouse is moved up and down, the action moving pixel point is defined when the cursor is moved, and when the displacement pixel point is greater than the defined threshold, the scroll direction is changed according to the cursor moving direction;

[0035] The mouse middle key implementation mode: simultaneously pressing the mouse left key 103 and the mouse right key 104 to convert into the mouse middle key instruction (for example, a mouse left key 103 and a mouse right key 104 action control delay time can be defined, and a cursor action pixel is defined) When the mouse left key 103 or the mouse right key 104 is pressed, the left key or the right key action timing is started, and when the timing is less than the defined action control delay time, the left key or the right key function is not responded. If the left key and the right key are pressed at the same time in the action control time, the mouse middle key is converted. If the mouse left key 103 or the mouse right key 104 is pressed, and the pressing time is less than the conduction time value, the left key or the right key function is immediately output when the mouse is released. Or when the mouse is moved, the moving pixel is greater than the defined pixel, and the left key or the right key instruction function is output.

[0036] In the following, the dual-mode scroll wheel mouse in the present exemplary embodiment will be further described.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-4 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 above and below the thumb placement position on the side of the mouse shell;

[0038] When the first function key 108 is pressed, the mouse outputs a mouse 4 key instruction or a copy instruction;

[0039] When the second function key 109 is pressed, the mouse outputs a mouse 5 key instruction or a paste instruction.

[0040] It should be noted that the first function key 108 and the second function key 109 can be set as the 4th key and the 5th key of the mouse or as the copy key and the paste key, and the first function key 108 and the second function key 109 are arranged side by side in the position where the human finger thumb is placed. When a single function key needs to be pressed, the thumb only needs to move up and down, without moving forward and backward. When the copy and paste operations need to be frequently performed, the first function key 108 can be defined as a copy instruction, and the second function key 109 can be defined as a paste instruction. When the first function key 108 or the second function key 109 is pressed by moving the thumb up and down, the corresponding instruction can be sent, and the operation is more convenient.
