[0028] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The inventors, through analysis of existing technology, discovered that traditional mouse scroll wheels continuously turn pages, with scrolling upwards turning the page up and scrolling downwards turning the page down. This application provides an alternative solution that triggers corresponding operations based on different scrolling directions.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a structural schematic diagram of a pressure-type mouse scroll wheel device provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0031] A pressure-sensitive mouse scroll wheel device includes a mouse body 1, the mouse body 1 including a left button and a right button, the mouse body 1 further including a processor, a first pressure sensor 3, a second pressure sensor 4 and a displacement sensor 5, the first pressure sensor 3, the second pressure sensor 4 and the displacement sensor 5 being electrically connected to the processor respectively;

[0032] The first pressure sensor 3 is used to trigger the upward scrolling command, and the first pressure value collected by the first pressure sensor 3 is used to convert the number of rows to be scrolled upward.

[0033] The second pressure sensor 4 is used to trigger the downward scrolling command, and the second pressure value collected by the second pressure sensor 4 is used to convert the number of rows to scroll downwards;

[0034] The displacement sensor 5 is used to detect the displacement of the mouse body 1;

[0035] When the scroll wheel command to scroll upward is triggered, if the mouse body 1 is detected to move downward, the scroll wheel command is switched to scroll downward.

[0036] When the scroll wheel command to scroll down is triggered, if the mouse body 1 is detected to move upward, the scroll wheel command is switched to scrolling upward.

[0037] In an embodiment of this application, a pressure-sensitive mouse scroll wheel device is provided, including a mouse body 1. The mouse body 1 includes a left button and a right button. The mouse body 1 also includes a processor, a first pressure sensor 3, a second pressure sensor 4, and a displacement sensor. The first pressure sensor 3, the second pressure sensor 4, and the displacement sensor are electrically connected to the processor. The first pressure sensor 3 is used to trigger an upward scroll wheel command, and a first pressure value collected by the first pressure sensor 3 is used to convert the number of rows to scroll upward. The second pressure sensor 4 is used to trigger a downward scroll wheel command, and a second pressure value collected by the second pressure sensor 4 is used to convert the number of rows to scroll downward. The displacement sensor is used to detect the displacement of the mouse body 1. When the upward scroll wheel command is triggered, if the downward displacement of the mouse body 1 is detected, the scroll wheel command is switched to downward scrolling; when the downward scroll wheel command is triggered, if the upward displacement of the mouse body 1 is detected, the scroll wheel command is switched to upward scrolling. By setting up two or more pressure sensors, different pressure signals can indicate the mouse page-turning direction or other commands; the user transmits the pressure value to the pressure sensor through the pressure button, the pressure sensor feeds the pressure value back to the processor, and the processor controls the speed of mouse page turning or other commands based on the magnitude of the pressure value.

[0038] The following will further describe a pressure-type mouse wheel device according to various exemplary embodiments of this application.

[0039] In one specific implementation, pressing the first pressure sensor 3 causes the mouse wheel to scroll upwards, and the pressure applied adjusts the scroll wheel speed; pressing the second pressure sensor 4 causes the mouse wheel to scroll downwards, and the pressure applied adjusts the scroll wheel speed.

[0040] When the first pressure sensor 3 is pressed and held, slightly moving the mouse downwards will switch the direction of the mouse wheel downwards based on the coordinate change value of the bottom displacement sensor 5; when the second pressure sensor 4 is pressed and held, slightly moving the mouse upwards will switch the direction of the mouse wheel upwards based on the coordinate change value of the bottom displacement sensor 5.

[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are arranged side by side.

[0042] It should be noted that the two pressure sensors are set up side by side, allowing users to easily determine which sensor corresponds to scrolling up and which corresponds to scrolling down by simply sensing their positions. This improves the intuitiveness and accuracy of user operation and reduces misoperations caused by inaccurate finger positions.

[0043] In one specific implementation, since the two pressure sensors are close together, pressing them normally will trigger both sensors. At this time, the pressure values ​​of the two pressure sensors are compared, and the processor will initiate the control response based on the pressure value that is larger, and convert the pressure value into the roller speed.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are located at the pressing points of the mouse body 1 corresponding to the human thumb.

[0045] As an example, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are arranged side by side on the left and / or right side of the mouse body 1.

[0046] It should be noted that different users hold the mouse in different ways; some use their left hand, and some use their right. For right-handed users, the pressure sensor is located on the left side of the mouse body 1; for left-handed users, the pressure sensor is located on the rear right side of the mouse body 1.

[0047] In one embodiment of this application, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are located at the pressing point of the mouse body 1 corresponding to the middle finger of the human body. The pressing point corresponding to the middle finger of the human body is also the location of the traditional mouse scroll wheel.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, the second pressure sensor is further used to trigger a mode switching command, the mode switching command including a first mode and a second mode;

[0049] When in the first mode, and the sum of the first pressure value and the second pressure value is greater than the preset middle button trigger value during the same period, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are used simultaneously to trigger the mouse middle button command.

[0050] When in the second mode, the displacement sensor 5 is used to trigger a scroll wheel command to switch the scroll wheel direction, and the first pressure sensor 3 is used to trigger the middle mouse button command.

[0051] As an example, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are located on the left or right side of the mouse body 1;

[0052] The first pressure sensor 3 is used to trigger an upward scrolling command, and the first pressure value collected by the first pressure sensor 3 is used to convert the number of rows to be scrolled upward; the second pressure sensor 4 is used to trigger a downward scrolling command, and the second pressure value collected by the second pressure sensor 4 is used to convert the number of rows to be scrolled downward.

[0053] Furthermore, the second pressure sensor 4 is also used to trigger a mode switching command. When the first pressure sensor 3 is in the first mode, it is used simultaneously with the second pressure sensor 4 to trigger the middle mouse button command. When the first pressure sensor 3 is in the second mode, it is used to trigger the middle mouse button command.

[0054] As an example, the mouse body 1 is provided with a first pressure sensor 3 and a second pressure sensor 4 on both the left and right sides;

[0055] The first pressure sensor 3 on the left is used to trigger the scroll wheel command to scroll upwards. The first pressure value collected by the first pressure sensor 3 is used to convert the number of rows to scroll upwards. The second pressure sensor 4 on the left is used to trigger the scroll wheel command to scroll downwards. The second pressure value collected by the second pressure sensor 4 is used to convert the number of rows to scroll downwards.

[0056] The second pressure sensor 4 on the right is used to trigger the mode switching command. When the first pressure sensor 3 on the right is in the first mode, it is used to trigger the middle mouse button command simultaneously with the second pressure sensor 4 on the right. When the first pressure sensor 3 on the right is in the second mode, it is used to trigger the middle mouse button command.

[0057] It should be noted that the first pressure sensor 3 can also be used to trigger the mode switching command. When the first pressure sensor 3 is used to trigger the mode switching command, the control logic is similar to that when the second pressure sensor is used to trigger the mode switching command, and will not be described again here.

[0058] It should be noted that in the first mode, pressing the first pressure sensor 3 causes the mouse wheel to scroll upwards, and the scrolling speed is adjusted by the pressure applied. Pressing the second pressure sensor 4 causes the mouse wheel to scroll downwards, and the scrolling speed is adjusted by the pressure applied. While holding down either the first or second pressure sensor 4, slightly moving the mouse up or down will change the direction of the mouse wheel based on the coordinate changes of the bottom displacement sensor 5.

[0059] The first mode also includes pressing the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 simultaneously, setting a middle button pressure value and an action time parameter. When the pressure values ​​of the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are both greater than the middle button pressure value within the defined time parameter, the middle button function of the mouse is output.

[0060] In the second mode, one of the two pressure sensors, the first (3) and the second (4), works in conjunction with the mouse's vertical movement to control the direction and speed of the scroll wheel, while the other sensor functions as the middle mouse button. Specifically, slightly moving the mouse downwards or upwards determines the direction of the scroll wheel based on the coordinate change value of the displacement sensor 5. Pressing the second pressure sensor 4 activates the scroll wheel, with the pressure determining the scroll wheel speed. While holding down the second pressure sensor 4, moving the mouse up or down switches the scroll wheel direction based on the coordinate change of the bottom displacement sensor 5. Pressing the first pressure sensor 3 activates the middle mouse button function.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the mouse body 1 further includes a custom function key, which is used to switch the click mode of the left and / or right buttons.

[0062] It should be noted that there is a customizable function key on the side of the mouse that allows simultaneous pressing of the left and right buttons, which can be defined in three modes:

[0063] Mode 1: Press both left and right mouse buttons simultaneously to double-click the left mouse button;

[0064] Mode 2: Press left and right simultaneously to press the middle mouse button;

[0065] Mode 3: Disable the custom features of Mode 2 and Mode 3.

[0066] In one embodiment of this application, the first pressure sensor 3 and the second pressure sensor 4 are respectively provided with elastic buttons 2. The elastic element can improve the service life of the button and provide a better user experience.

[0067] In one embodiment of this application, the elastic button 2 of the first pressure sensor 3 and the elastic button 2 of the second pressure sensor 4 are connected as a single unit.

[0068] It should be noted that when the two pressure buttons are a single unit, a small movement of the thumb may trigger both pressure sensors simultaneously. In this case, the two pressure values ​​need to be compared. By setting rules, the processor can respond to the sensor with the smaller or larger pressure value and convert the pressure magnitude into scroll wheel speed.

[0069] Although preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the embodiments of the present application.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device.
