Abstract

The present invention relates to a mouse which can directly input Shift, Alt, and Control keys, which are frequently used as shortcut keys when using a computer.

When using shortcut keys on the keyboard, you usually have to use both hands, because you usually have to press the keyboard with two or three fingers at the same time. Therefore, this conventional method is inconvenient that the hand holding the mouse should be moved to the keyboard when using a program such as a graphic program or a game that requires frequent use of the mouse.

The present invention eliminates the above inconveniences and adds the ear button (6) that can control the shift (Alt), Alt (alt), control (Ctrl) at the same time for easy use of the shortcut key three by one thumb only By making it possible to control the key of, it makes the use of shortcut keys easy.

The ear button 6 is a button shaped like an ear on the side of the mouse, and is integrated with the switch control unit 7 inside the case, so that the ear button 6 can be moved up, down, in or out.

The switch control unit 7 presses the shift, control, and alt switch buttons 12, 13, and 14.

In other words, only one ear button 6 can control three switch buttons 12, 13 and 14 simultaneously. That is, you can easily use a combination of shortcut keys such as Shift, Control, Shift + Alt, Shift + Control + Alt with just one gesture of your thumb. You can enter

The input signal was transmitted to the computer by using the middle button and the wheel signal input device, which are rarely used in the mouse.

The use of the mouse is expected to increase the convenience of the shortcut keys, and is expected to improve the efficiency especially when using games and graphic programs.

Description

Hotkey Mouse {Hot key Mouse}

The present invention relates to a mouse for inputting a shortcut key. In the use of a keyboard and a mouse used as an input device of a general computer, a shift, control, and alt key which are frequently used when a shortcut key is used in a keyboard. Can be typed directly from the mouse.

In the conventional keyboard and mouse use, when using shortcut keys on the keyboard, it is generally necessary to press the keyboard with two or three fingers at the same time, so when the keys are far from each other, both hands should be used. Therefore, this method was inconvenient that the hand holding the mouse should be moved to the keyboard when using a program such as a graphic program or a game that requires frequent use of the mouse.

An object of the present invention is to present a mouse capable of inputting Shift, Alt, and Control keys for more convenient use of a shortcut function in a computer input environment.

The structure of the mouse of the present invention for achieving the above object is the part of operating the button switch (12, 13, 14) in the mouse case and the input signal of the switch to the computer main body via the mouse cable (2) The physical structure can be divided into the following parts.

On one side of the mouse, there is an ear button 6 formed in the shape of an ear so that the thumb of the hand holding the mouse can be closely attached. The ear button 6 is integrated with a switch control unit 7 located inside the mouse. The movement of the ear button 6 is to be able to move relative to the main pivot (15) and the bulk (16).

Based on the main pivot (15) and the bulk (16), the mouse side gap (20) and the switch control unit (7) for limited rotational movement and linear movement within the mouse are three button switches by the movement of the ear button (6). It is a structure for manipulating (12, 13, 14) and is in close contact with the contact of each switch, and each switch (12, 13, 14) is fixed in different directions so that each switch can be selectively operated. Can be. That is, the contact point of the shift button switch 12 faces upward, the contact point of the control button switch 13 faces left when the mouse is viewed from above, and the contact point of the alt button switch 14 is backward. Since the direction of the movement of the switch operating unit 7, it is possible to press the three switches in one switch at the same time.

Looking at the movement of the ear button 6 and the operation of each switch (12, 13, 14) in detail as follows.

In order to allow the ear button 6 to move back, forth, up and down, left and right, the pivot groove 17 is long and long so that the main pivot 15 can move back and forth, and when the ear button 6 moves up and down, The two pivots 15 and 16 are rotated at both ends of the shaft, and at this time, the shift button switch 12 is pressed.

When the ear button 6 moves from side to side, from outside to inside, it rotates inward with respect to the main pivot 15. Therefore, at this time, the volume bar 16 is a planar motion along the gap between the pivot anchor 18. At this time, the control button switch 13 is pressed.

The pivot holder 18 is fixed to the circuit board 3 and allows the planar movement of the volume bar 16 and has a gap.

When the ear button 6 moves from the back forward, the main pivot 15 and the bulk pivot 16 move forward together, and the Alt button switch 14 is pressed.

Each movement of the ear button can be combined with each other, ie up, down, forward and backward movements, which can be pushed in and pulled forward.

Therefore, the switch control unit integrated with the ear button allows pressing from one switch to two or three switches simultaneously with the movement of the ear button.

Mouse rudder (5) to better hold the mouse when holding the mouse by hand

It is for the purpose of protruding integrally with the mouse case.

The reason for this is that the thumb of the hand holding the mouse controls the ear button, so when the mouse needs to be moved, the thumb cannot grip the sides of the mouse.

Since the mouse rudder 5 is sandwiched between the index finger and the index finger at this time, the hand can naturally move the mouse.

The tension spring 19 is connected between the mouse case 1 and the switch control unit 7 serves to increase the restoring force of the ear button (6).

As described above, the key point of the mouse configuration of the present invention is to make the user input environment more convenient by allowing the user to easily control the shift, alt, and control keys for the shortcut key input by one ear button 6. will be.

When using the mouse of the present invention described above, both hands can be used more efficiently. Therefore, it is possible to create an ideal user input environment in the software program of the Windows environment where the control through the mouse is essential.

In addition, the use of the mouse is expected to increase the convenience of the shortcut key, and in particular, it is expected to improve the efficiency of users of the game and the graphic program using the shortcut key a lot.
