【産業上の利用分野】本発明は手で滑らせるマウスの機
構に指先で動かすトラックボールの機能を加えたコンピ
ュータなどの位置入力装置に関する。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a position input device such as a computer in which the function of a trackball moved by a fingertip is added to a mechanism of a mouse that slides by hand.
【０００２】[0002]
【従来の技術】従来の位置入力装置としては手で机上を
滑らせながら内蔵球を転がすマウス、中心位置が固定さ
れた球を直接手で回転させるトラックボール、操縦棹を
介して入力するジョイスティックなどがある。2. Description of the Related Art Conventional position input devices include a mouse that rolls a built-in ball while sliding it on a desk with a hand, a trackball that directly rotates a ball whose center position is fixed, and a joystick that inputs through a control rod. There is.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】従来の主要な位置入力
装置であるマウスでは、操作が手首および腕の動きによ
るため広いディスプレイ面上の精密な位置指定に際して
ぶれが出やすく、これを修正する微妙な操作に問題があ
った。また、このためマウスの移動範囲を比較的広くと
らなければならないという制約があった。本発明は、そ
の操作に繊細かつ敏捷な指の動きを加えることによっ
て、このような問題や制約を克服することを目的とす
る。A mouse, which is a conventional main position input device, is liable to shake when precise position designation is performed on a wide display surface because the operation is performed by movements of the wrist and arm. There was a problem with the operation. Moreover, there is a restriction that the moving range of the mouse has to be relatively wide. The present invention aims to overcome such problems and limitations by adding delicate and agile finger movements to the operation.

【課題を解決するための手段】上記目的を達成するため
に、本発明の２球マウスにおいては、手で保持するマウ
ス本体の指先の位置に微細操作のための小型トラックボ
ールを組み込み、それぞれの出力を回路で接続させる。In order to achieve the above object, in the two-ball mouse of the present invention, a small trackball for fine operation is incorporated at the position of the fingertip of the mouse body held by the hand, and Connect the output with a circuit.
【０００５】また、上記小型トラックボールの代わり
に、マウスの背面および裏面の両側に露出した単純なボ
ールを取り付け、指先で動かすことによってマウス本体
の位置を微調整してもよい。Instead of the small trackball, a simple ball exposed on both sides of the back surface and the back surface of the mouse may be attached and the position of the mouse body may be finely adjusted by moving the ball with a fingertip.
【０００６】[0006]
【作用】マウスを保持した手を動かしてアローポインタ
を大まかな目標位置に移動させると、あとは指先でそこ
に露出した球を動かすだけで、すばやく正確な位置に合
わせることができる。Operation: When the hand holding the mouse is moved to move the arrow pointer to a rough target position, the ball exposed there can be swiftly adjusted to the exact position by moving the ball exposed there.

In FIG. 1, a small trackball (2) is installed at the position of the fingertip of the mouse body (1) held by hand, and the respective outputs are connected by a circuit.
【０００８】図２に示される実施例では、上記トラック
ボール（２）の代わりに、手で保持するマウス本体
（１）の指先の位置にマウスの背面および裏面の両側に
露出して回転するボール（３）を取り付け、指先でマウ
ス本体の位置を微調整する。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, instead of the trackball (2), a ball that is exposed on both the back and the back of the mouse at the position of the fingertip of the mouse body (1) held by hand and rotates. Attach (3) and finely adjust the position of the mouse body with your fingertips.

【発明の効果】本発明は、以上説明したように繊細かつ
敏捷な指先の動きを利用するように構成されているの
で、以下に記載されるような効果を奏する。Since the present invention is configured to utilize the delicate and agile movement of the fingertip as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
【００１０】 マウスの移動範囲を狭くし、迅速な位置
入力ができる。The mouse movement range can be narrowed to enable quick position input.
【００１１】 アローポインタの速度を上げても正確な
位置入力ができる。Accurate position input can be performed even if the speed of the arrow pointer is increased.
【００１２】 マウスと指先トラックボールの機能を組
み合わせ、位置入力の速度と精度を同時に高めることが
できる。By combining the functions of a mouse and a fingertip trackball, the speed and accuracy of position input can be improved at the same time.
