  • Publication number: 20250110582
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a multi-touch region on a button. The mouse device includes a touchpad, a press switch, a button cover and a control board. The touchpad triggers a corresponding touch signal when any one of a plurality of touch regions respectively corresponding to a plurality of input events is pressed. A switch signal is triggered when the press switch is pressed. The button cover is used to accept a pressing operation of pressing toward an inner side to press the touchpad, and to press the press switch through the touchpad. When receiving the touch signal and the switch signal, the control board triggers the input event of the pressed touch region.

  • Publication number: 20250076999
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mouse device with a detection function of non-human mouse events and a detection method thereof. A driver receives a plurality of movement mouse events through a computer device from a mouse device, executes a non-human movement detection on the movement mouse events to determine each movement mouse event as a suspicious event or a human-made event, executes an interference process when the suspicious events meet a non-human critical condition, and executes the plurality of movement mouse events when the suspicious events do not meet the non-human critical condition. The present invention can effectively detect non-human movement mouse events, and execute interference on the non-human movement mouse events to deter non-human operations.

  • Publication number: 20250080323
    Abstract: A mouse device includes a detection function to detect non-human mouse events through encryption and a detection method thereof. A mouse retrieves variable characters, executes an encryption process on a plaintext mouse event to obtain a ciphertext mouse event based on the variable characters and fixed characters. A computer device executes a decryption process on the ciphertext mouse event to obtain the plaintext mouse event when receiving the ciphertext mouse event, executes the plaintext mouse event, and executes an interfering process when the mouse event is different or cannot be decrypted.

  • Publication number: 20250068257
    Abstract: A wireless keyboard, comprising a body, several keys, a first detection unit, a second detection unit and a control unit. The several keys are disposed on the body. The first detection unit is disposed on one side of the body. The second detection unit is disposed on the other side of the body corresponding to the first detection unit. The first detection unit and the second detection unit jointly detect a feedback signal therebetween. When the feedback signal corresponds to an activation signal, the control unit activates the wireless keyboard. In some implementations, the wireless keyboard can save power, and does not require users to switch on/off the power supply manually, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating life.
