Publication number: 20140210718Abstract: A computer mouse with adjustable decorative wing includes a main housing, a bottom board covered on the bottom surface of the main housing, a decorative wing disposed on one side of the main housing and a distance-adjusting mechanism. The decorative wing has a fastening end fixed to the main housing, and a movable end. There is a adjustable distance between the movable end and the main housing. The distance-adjusting mechanism is disposed on the main housing and contacts the movable end of the decorative wings for adjusting the distance of the movable end and the main housing of the decorative wings. A width of the computer mouse therefore is changed. The decorative wings on two sides of the computer mouse of the present invention can be expanded to support fingers for suiting to different users' palms.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: DEXIN CORPORATIONInventor: TING-SHENG WANG

Publication number: 20140210720Abstract: A mouse device includes a case member, a battery storage box for accommodating a battery, and a ring-shaped cover. The battery storage box is disposed within the case member. Moreover, the battery storage box has an entrance. The entrance is formed in a sidewall of the battery storage box. The ring-shaped cover is connected with the case member from a rear side and a bottom side of the case member for covering the entrance. Due to the structure of the ring-shaped cover, the mouse device has no rotating shaft at the rear end of the case member. Consequently, the length of the case member of the present mouse device is shorter, and the overall volume of the present mouse device is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Primax Electronics Ltd.Inventor: A-Ming Chang

Publication number: 20140210721Abstract: A mouse device includes an upper cover, a lower cover, a circuit board, a first switch, a second switch, and a triggering element. The circuit board is fixed between the upper cover and the lower cover. The first switch and the second switch are disposed on a bottom surface of the circuit board. The triggering element is pivotally coupled to the lower cover and protruded through a bottom side of the lower cover. When a first side or a second side of the upper cover is depressed, the upper cover, the lower cover and the circuit board are rotated relative to the triggering element. Consequently, the first switch or the second switch is correspondingly triggered.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Primax Electronics Ltd.Inventor: Tai-Ping Yin

Publication number: 20140210723Abstract: An optical mouse apparatus includes a light source circuit, a sensing circuit, and a processing circuit. The light source circuit is used for generating and emitting a light signal onto a surface so as to generate a light reflected signal. The sensing circuit is used for estimating an image offset of the optical mouse apparatus. The processing circuit is coupled to the light source circuit and the sensing circuit and used for generating and outputting a control signal to a terminal according to the image offset outputted by the sensing circuit. The sensing circuit is further used for detecting at least one of a moving speed or an offset direction of the image offset of the optical mouse apparatus, so as to dynamically determine whether to compress data of the image offset outputted to the processing circuit, for reducing data amount read by the processing circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: PixArt Imaging Inc.Inventors: Yung-Chang Lin, Tsung-Fa Wang, Ching-Lin Chung

Publication number: 20140210724Abstract: A control system, a mouse and a control method thereof are provided. The control system comprises a dongle and the mouse. The dongle is wiredly connected to a host and has a first light source for emitting a first light. The mouse is wirelessly connected to the dongle and has a transmitter, a second light source for emitting a second light, an optical sensor and a processor. The optical sensor senses the first light at a first time interval to generate a first sensing signal and then also, senses the second light at a second time interval to generate a second sensing signal. The processor generates a first control signal and a second control signal according to the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, respectively, and transmits them to the dongle via the transmitter so that the host receives the first and second control signals via the dongle.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2013Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: PIXART IMAGING INC.Inventors: Chun-Wei CHEN, Yen-Min CHANG, Shih-Wei KUO, Ching-Lin CHUNG
