Mouse Device With Integrated Stylus Storage And Charging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current active styluses require users to perform repetitive and complex communication pairing with electronic devices, and their storage alongside a mouse device can be cumbersome, affecting user experience and portability.
Innovation Solution
A mouse device with a long and narrow accommodating space for a detachable stylus that also serves as a charging station, allowing for simplified pairing and increased portability, where the stylus can be charged and used independently of the mouse device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users carry both a mouse device and a stylus separately, then both devices can be used independently, but storage becomes complicated and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the mouse device and stylus storage function into a single integrated mouse device. The mouse body includes an accommodating space that can hold the stylus, allowing users to carry both devices together without needing separate storage solutions. This merging resolves the storage complexity issue while preserving independent usage capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The mouse device is designed with multi-functionality, serving both as a standalone pointing device and as a storage container for the stylus. The accommodating space within the mouse body enables it to fulfill multiple roles, reducing the need for additional accessories and simplifying user携带.
2Reliability
If users carry accessories like sheaths or cases for stylus, then the stylus can be protected and stored, but more accessories mean more complication and more bits and pieces to keep track of
Solution Approach 1:
The mouse device integrates the stylus storage function directly into its structure. The accommodating space within the mouse body serves as both protection and storage for the stylus, eliminating the need for separate sheaths or cases. This reduces the number of accessories users need to manage while maintaining stylus protection.
3Ease of operation
If the stylus is made longer to provide better writing experience, then writing comfort is improved, but the stylus becomes harder to store and less portable
Solution Approach 1:
The stylus is designed to nest within the accommodating space of the mouse device when not in use. This nesting arrangement allows the stylus to be stored compactly within the mouse body, improving portability while still allowing full extension for comfortable writing when needed.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution simplifies the communication pairing process by allowing either the mouse device or the stylus to pair with the electronic device, reducing complexity and enhancing user experience while preventing the stylus from being misplaced and ensuring efficient power usage.
Implementation Method 1
When the stylus is accommodated in the long and narrow accommodating space, a charging area of the stylus is electrically connected to the power module to charge the stylus

AI summary
A mouse device includes a mouse body, a stylus, and a power module. A long and narrow accommodating space is disposed at one side of the mouse body, and the long and narrow accommodating space has a first length. The stylus is detachably accommodated in the long and narrow accommodating space. When the stylus is accommodated in the long and narrow accommodating space, the stylus has a second length. When the stylus is detached from the mouse body, the stylus has a third length. The third length is longer than the second length and the first length. When the stylus is accommodated in the long and narrow accommodating space, a charging area of the stylus is electrically connected to the power module to charge the stylus.
