Multiple Mouse Icons for Wide Screen Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wide screen display devices require users to move their mouse icons horizontally for longer distances, making it difficult to operate or locate the mouse icon.
Innovation Solution
A computer operating system and method that generates multiple mouse icons on a display device, each with a different pattern, allowing users to switch between them easily by pressing specific keys or using camera-based user image recognition.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the display device uses a wide screen with larger width, then the resolution and image quality are improved, but the user needs to move the mouse icon for a longer horizontal distance making operation difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single mouse icon into multiple mouse icons (first mouse icon and second mouse icon) positioned at different locations on the display device. This segmentation allows users to access different functional areas without traversing the entire wide screen distance, effectively resolving the contradiction between wide screen usage and ease of mouse operation.
2Ease of operation
If multiple mouse icons are generated on the display device, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simplified copies of the mouse icon (first mouse icon and second mouse icon) that replicate the basic mouse functionality. These copies are generated through software processing without requiring additional physical hardware, thus improving ease of operation while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

AI summary
A computer operating system is provided. The computer operating system includes a control host, a display device, and a mouse. The display device is connected to the control host. The mouse is connected to the control host. The control host is used to generate a first mouse icon on the display device and generate a second mouse icon on the display device when the first mouse icon exists, wherein a pattern of the first mouse icon is different from a pattern of the second mouse icon.
