Vibration feedback silent mouse

Abstract

A vibration feedback silent mouse includes a magnet disposed below the button actuation part and a magnetic sensor corresponding to the magnet, maintaining a non-contact spatial distance between them. Pressing the button actuation part causes a change in the spatial distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnet, generating a linear magnetic flux change, which is converted into a linear voltage change. An analog-to-digital converter in a controller then converts the linear voltage change into a digital linear change value. When the mouse button is pressed, the controller determines that the digital linear change value reaches a first sensing interval value and sends a vibration signal to the vibrator for a first vibration. When the mouse button is released, the controller determines that the digital linear change value reaches a second sensing interval value and sends a vibration signal to the vibrator for a second vibration, thus simulating the action of pressing and releasing a silent mouse button.

Claims

1. A silent mouse with vibration feedback, comprising: At least one magnet is disposed below the button actuation part of at least one mouse button; at least one magnetic sensor is disposed below the magnet, maintaining a non-contact spatial distance between them; pressing the button actuation part causes a change in the spatial distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnet, generating a linear magnetic flux change, which is converted into a linear voltage change; a controller includes at least one analog-to-digital converter electrically connected to the magnetic sensor, used to convert the linear voltage change into a digital linear change value; and a vibrator electrically connected to the controller, used to emit a brief vibration when receiving a vibration signal; wherein, when the button actuation part is pressed, the controller determines that the digital linear change value reaches a first sensing range value, and emits the vibration signal to the vibrator for a brief vibration, simulating the vibration sensation of a mouse button being pressed; when the button actuation part is released, the controller determines that the digital linear change value reaches a second sensing range value, and emits the vibration signal to the vibrator for a brief vibration, simulating the vibration sensation of a mouse button being released.

2. A silent mouse with vibration feedback, as requested in item 1, further includes: An elastomer is disposed between the button actuation part and a mouse lower cover to rebound the button actuation part and limit the spatial distance of the button actuation part being pressed.

3. As in request item 1, a silent mouse with vibration feedback, wherein the button action is located at the front end of a mouse cover, corresponding to the finger pressing area, and the vibrator is disposed in the middle or rear end inside the mouse cover, corresponding to the palm position.

4. A silent mouse with vibration feedback, as requested in item 1, further includes: A vibrator drive circuit is electrically connected between the controller and the vibrator to receive the vibration signal and drive the vibrator to vibrate.

5. A silent mouse with vibration feedback as requested in item 1, wherein the first sensing interval value is a set value when the change in the spatial distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnet is greater than 0.3 mm.

6. A silent mouse with vibration feedback as requested in item 1, wherein the second sensing interval value is a set value in which the change in the spatial distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnet is less than 0.15 mm.

7. As in request item 1, the vibration feedback silent mouse, wherein the first sensing interval value, the second sensing interval value, the pressing vibration and the releasing vibration can all be individually adjusted by a computer device using software.

8. A silent mouse with vibration feedback, as requested in item 1, wherein the mouse buttons are the left and right mouse buttons.

9. A silent mouse with vibration feedback, comprising: At least one magnet is disposed below the button actuation part of at least one mouse button; at least one magnetic sensor is disposed below the magnet, maintaining a non-contact spatial distance between them; pressing the button actuation part causes a change in the spatial distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnet, generating a linear magnetic flux change, which is converted into a linear voltage change; a controller includes at least one analog-to-digital converter electrically connected to the magnetic sensor to convert the linear voltage change into a digital linear change value; and a vibrator electrically connected to the controller to emit continuous vibration when receiving a vibration signal; wherein, when the button actuation part is pressed, the controller determines that the digital linear change value reaches a first sensing interval value, and emits the vibration signal to the vibrator for continuous vibration, simulating the vibration sensation of a mouse button being pressed; when the button actuation part is released, the controller determines that the digital linear change value reaches a second sensing interval value, and emits a stop vibration signal to the vibrator to stop vibration, completing one simulation of the mouse button being pressed and released.
