首先請一併參閱第1、2圖,其中第1圖表示本發明一實施例之滑鼠裝置100的示意圖,第2圖表示當使用者以手握持第1圖中之滑鼠裝置100時的示意圖。First, please refer to Figures 1 and 2 together. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of a
如第1、2圖所示,本發明一實施例之滑鼠裝置100主要包括一本體10以及一觸控單元20,其中觸控單元20係以可滑動的方式設置於本體10之一側。應了解的是,本實施例之滑鼠裝置100例如為一光學式或機械式之滑鼠,其中在前述本體10內部設有一位置感測單元(未圖示),如此一來當使用者移動滑鼠時,即可透過前述位置感測單元獲得一位置變化資訊,同時前述位置感測單元可經由纜線或以無線方式傳送一位置訊號到一電腦裝置,以利於使用者操作控制螢幕上的游標或輸入指令。As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the
舉例而言,當前述滑鼠裝置100為一機械式滑鼠時,前述位置感測單元可包含滾球以及旋轉編碼器(rotary encoder)等元件;而當前述滑鼠裝置100為一光學式滑鼠時,前述位置感測單元則可包含發光二極體(LED)以及和其匹配之光感測器等元件。在本實施例中,前述位置感測單元的解析度(每英寸點數)約為1800 DPI(Dots Per Inch)。For example, when the
需特別說明的是,前述觸控單元20具有一梭狀(Fusiform-shaped)之觸控面板TP,且其係凸出於本體10之一側,其中觸控單元20的解析度(每英寸點數)約為400 DPI(Dots Per Inch),低於前述位置感測單元的解析度,意即位置感測單元與觸控單元的解析度(DPI)不同,從而可符合使用者在從事電腦繪圖作業時進行細部描繪或精確對位的需求。It should be noted that the
具體而言,前述本體10主要包括有一握持部11、兩個按鍵12、13、一前蓋14以及一滾輪15,其中按鍵12、13、前蓋14以及滾輪15皆設置於握持部11的前側,前蓋14和滾輪15則是設置在兩個按鍵12、13之間。Specifically, the aforementioned
此外,從第1、2圖中可以看出,前述滾輪15係設置於前蓋14中央,且前述觸控單元12係與前述握持部11以及按鍵12彼此相鄰。當使用者操作滑鼠裝置100時,可以手掌抵接前述本體10上的握持部11,同時可以透過手指按壓按鍵12、13或滑動滾輪15,藉以操作並控制電腦螢幕上的游標或輸入指令。In addition, it can be seen from Figures 1 and 2 that the
接著請一併參閱第3、4、5、6圖,其中第3圖表示第1圖中之滑鼠裝置100的前視圖,第4圖表示當使用者以手握持第3圖中之滑鼠裝置100時的示意圖,第5圖表示第1圖中之滑鼠裝置100的後視圖,第6圖表示當使用者以手握持第5圖中之滑鼠裝置100時的示意圖。Next, please refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6. Figure 3 shows the front view of the
如第3、4、5、6圖所示,前述本體10的握持部11係形成有相互連接之一底面S11以及一第一滑動面S12,前述觸控單元20則形成有相互連接之一平面S21以及一第二滑動面S22。應了解的是,前述觸控面板TP與第二滑動面S22係位在觸控單元20的相反側,且握持部11之前述第一滑動面S12係鄰接於觸控單元20之第二滑動面S22,其中前述第二滑動面S22可沿著前述第一滑動面S12滑動,以使觸控單元20能夠相對於滑鼠裝置100的本體10變換角度。As shown in FIGS. 3 , 4 , 5 and 6 , the
當觸控單元20相對本體10位於一第一角度時(如第第3、4、5、6圖所示),位在觸控單元20下方之平面S21係大致對齊握持部11之底面S11,如此一來使用者便能夠透過使握持部11之底面S11和觸控單元20下方之平面S21於一物體表面(例如滑鼠墊表面或桌面)上滑動,藉以控制電腦螢幕上的游標或輸入指令。When the
另一方面,從第3、4、5、6圖中也可以看出,前述第一滑動面S12以及第二滑動面S22皆為曲面,此外前述觸控面板TP則具有一彎曲結構,從而可方便使用者以大拇指於其表面上滑動以控制游標位移。On the other hand, it can also be seen from Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 that both the first sliding surface S12 and the second sliding surface S22 are curved surfaces, and the touch panel TP has a curved structure, so that it can be It is convenient for the user to slide the thumb on the surface to control the displacement of the cursor.
再請一併參閱第7、8圖,其中第7圖表示第1圖中之滑鼠裝置100的側視圖,第8圖表示當觸控單元20由第7圖所示之第一角度相對本體10旋轉滑動至一第二角度時的側視圖。Please also refer to Figures 7 and 8, wherein Figure 7 shows a side view of the
如第7圖所示,當觸控單元20相對本體10位於第一角度時,觸控單元20下方之平面S21係大致對齊握持部11之底面S11,此時滑鼠裝置100可作為一般滑鼠使用,且使用者可透過直接移動滑鼠裝置100(解析度較高),或者僅利用大拇指在觸控面板TP的表面上滑動(解析度較低),而能夠根據不同的使用情境需求以對電腦螢幕上的游標進行控制或從事精細之電腦繪圖等工作。As shown in FIG. 7 , when the
然而,當使用者欲將滑鼠裝置100作為一簡報器使用時,則僅需以大姆指施加一外力予觸控單元20,即可使觸控單元20相對於本體10由前述第一角度(第7圖)旋轉滑動至一第二角度(第8圖),此時觸控單元20之第二滑動面S22會沿著握持部11的第一滑動面S12滑動,並使觸控單元20凸出於握持部11的底面S11。However, when the user wants to use the
請一併參閱第9、10、11、12、13圖,其中第9圖表示第8圖中之滑鼠裝置100於另一視角的示意圖,第10圖表示當使用者以手握持第9圖中之滑鼠裝置100時的示意圖,第11圖表示第8圖中之滑鼠裝置100於另一視角的示意圖,第12圖表示當使用者以手握持第11圖中之滑鼠裝置100時的示意圖,第13圖表示第8圖中之滑鼠裝置100於另一視角的示意圖。Please also refer to Figures 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, wherein Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of the
如第9、10、11、12、13圖所示,當使用者欲進行簡報而將觸控單元20相對於本體10由前述第一角度(第7圖)旋轉滑動至第二角度(第8圖)時,觸控單元20之平面S21會凸出於握持部11的底面S11,此時即可將滑鼠裝置10旋轉90度而改採以直立之姿態握持。也就是說,使用者可以將大拇指放置在觸控面板TP的表面上,並將食指直接貼附在按鍵13的表面,如此一來不僅能夠方便使用者握持滑鼠裝置100,同時也能夠利用大拇指在觸控面板TP的表面上滑動以操作電腦游標或光點,此外更可藉由食指按壓按鍵13以進行換頁或執行其他指令。As shown in Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, when the user wants to give a presentation, he rotates and slides the
舉例而言,在本實施例之滑鼠裝置100中亦可設置發光二極體或雷射光源,藉以投射光點於一屏幕上,其中使用者能夠透過按壓按鍵12或按鍵13以控制前述光源的開/關,從而可大幅提升使用上的便利性。For example, in the
需特別說明的是,前述第一角度(第7圖)與第二角度(第8圖)的角度差約為30度至60度(例如45度),且當觸控單元20相對於本體10旋轉滑動至第二角度(第8圖)時,觸控面板TP係與握持部11的底面S11係大致形成一Y字形結構(如第9、10、11、12圖所示),藉此能夠方便使用者以直立之姿態握持滑鼠裝置100以作為一舒適的簡報器使用。It should be noted that the angle difference between the first angle ( FIG. 7 ) and the second angle ( FIG. 8 ) is about 30 degrees to 60 degrees (for example, 45 degrees), and when the
於一實施例中,在前述本體10內部另設有一控制電路(未圖示),其中前述控制電路電性連接位置感測單元以及前述觸控單元20,且當該觸控單元20相對於本體10由前述第一角度(第7圖)旋轉滑動至第二角度(第8圖)時,該控制電路可自動傳送一控制訊號至觸控單元20,藉以改變觸控單元20的解析度,從而可方便使用者於簡報時操作滑鼠裝置100。In an embodiment, a control circuit (not shown) is further provided inside the
舉例而言,假設使用者欲透過POWER POINT軟體進行簡報,可先將觸控單元20相對於本體10旋轉滑動至第二角度(第8圖),此時控制電路可傳送一訊號到電腦裝置,以自動地將滑鼠游標切成雷射投影點,同時控制電路也會自動傳送一控制訊號到位置感測單元和前述觸控單元20,以關閉前述位置感測單元並改變觸控單元20的解析度,從而能夠讓使用者輕鬆地僅利用大拇指在觸控面板TP的表面上滑動,即可控制電腦螢幕上的游標或光點,藉此能大幅提升使用上的便利性。For example, if the user wants to present a presentation through the POWER POINT software, he can first rotate and slide the
