Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional optical mice do not automatically indicate movement quality, requiring complex software and significant time to determine if the movement quality meets predetermined standards, especially for users managing multiple devices.
Innovation Solution
An optical movement quality determining method and system that automatically generates a movement quality reminding message by analyzing optical information, such as image quality from an image sensor, and comparing it to a quality threshold value, using modules for location determination, information quality assessment, and message generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional software is used to determine movement quality of optical mice, then movement quality can be determined, but the process requires complicated software and significant time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the movement quality determination function from complex external software and integrates it directly into the optical mouse device itself. The optical mouse includes a processor that automatically determines movement quality by analyzing optical information and comparing it against stored reference information, eliminating the need for complicated external software.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical mouse performs self-diagnosis of its own movement quality. The device uses its own optical information generation capabilities and processor to automatically determine whether its movement quality meets predetermined standards, without requiring external testing software or manual intervention.
2Measurement precision
If conventional software is used to determine movement quality of optical mice, then movement quality can be determined, but the process requires significant time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores reference optical information and predetermined quality standards in advance within the optical mouse's memory. When movement quality needs to be determined, the processor can immediately compare current optical information against the pre-stored reference data, eliminating the time required for external software to load and process quality criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The optical mouse performs automatic self-assessment of movement quality in real-time. The processor continuously or on-demand compares optical information against stored reference information and generates immediate quality determination results, eliminating the time-consuming manual testing process.
3Measurement precision
If manual checking of multiple optical mice is performed, then movement quality can be assessed, but users need to spend a lot of time and effort
Solution Approach 1:
Each optical mouse automatically determines its own movement quality and can provide quality status information. This allows users to quickly assess multiple devices without manual testing, as each device self-report its quality status, significantly improving management efficiency for users handling multiple optical mice.
