  • Patent number: 9531404
    Abstract: An auxiliary input device for use in inputting a user signal to a computer is provided. The computer auxiliary input device includes an infrared ray transmitter configured to transmit an infrared ray signal to a left eyeball and a right eyeball of a user. A reflected light sensor configured to measure a change in an amount of light reflected from the left eyeball and the right eyeball. A controller configured to detect the change in the amount of light reflected from each of the eyeballs from the reflected light sensor, generate Morse code alphabets based on the detected change, and convert the Morse code alphabets into a character string to be transmitted to the computer. A computer communication unit is configured to provide the character string converted by the controller to the computer.
