According to an embodiment, a mousepad comprises a cover layer and an integrated keypad. The cover layer has a lateral extension and an upper surface which is usable for placement (placing, putting down) of a computer mouse. The keypad covers a part of said lateral extension. In an area not covered by the keypad there is a mouse parking area. The mousepad comprises a mouse detector associated with the mouse parking area and a corresponding control unit. The control unit is configured such that the keyboard gets activated when the mouse is inside the mouse parking area and gets deactivated when the mouse is outside the mouse parking area.

An apparatus including a removable modular insert disposed within a housing of a host device, the housing including one or more magnets, and one or more conductive contacts disposed on the removable modular insert to magnetically couple to the one or more magnets and secure the modular insert within the housing of the host device, and electrically couple the modular insert to the host device. A conductive coil can be coupled to the modular insert to electromagnetically receive power from a base device having a surface, where the host device moves and operates along the surface of the base device. The apparatus can include a communication device and a processor to control the communication device for communication between the modular insert and the host device, and control operation of the conductive coil. The communication device further controls the electromagnetic coupling between the modular insert and the base device.

A wireless input device is provided. The wireless input device includes a rechargeable wireless mouse, a wireless receiver and a charging pad. The charging pad includes a wireless power transmitting module and a charging control circuit. The charging control circuit is electrically connected to the wireless power transmitting module. The charging control circuit correspondingly activates the wireless power transmitting module to wirelessly output the electromagnetic power according to an activation signal provided by the wireless receiver. The charging pad receives the activation signal when the wireless receiver is connected to the charging pad. When the charging pad is not connected to the wireless receiver, the charging control circuit stops the wireless power transmitting module from wirelessly outputting the electromagnetic power. Accordingly, the charging pad of the present invention can avoid damage resulting from the abnormal charging so as to save power.

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a processor that performs operations including detecting a first depression range of a button that includes an electro-mechanical sensor for detecting the first depression range, comparing the first depression range to a first actuation threshold, and asserting a first actuation state when the first depression range is at or exceeds the first actuation threshold. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Disclosed is a matching method for a wireless charging mouse, comprising: receiving an electromagnetic energy; building a matching transmission channel at a matching address predetermined, and transmitting a first matching signal to an electric device through the matching transmission channel; receiving the first matching signal and transmitting a first response signal through the matching transmission channel, and generating a first communication address by the electric device; receiving the first response signal and again transmitting the first matching signal to the electric device through the matching transmission channel; again receiving the first matching signal and transmitting a second response signal and the first communication address by the electric device through the matching transmission channel; and storing the first communication address and the wireless charging mouse and the electric device entering a data transmission mode.

A mobile device input device connected to a mobile device, the mobile device input device including a main body to be worn by a user, a control unit running a program thereon and disposed within at least a portion of the main body to at least one operation of the mobile device, and a laser sensor disposed on at least a portion of the main body to emit a laser beam away from a surface of the main body to track a position of the main body.

In accordance with some embodiments, systems, apparatus, interfaces, methods, and articles of manufacture are provided for ascertaining aspects of a user, such as the user's identity, competence, health, and state of mind. In various embodiment, data is captured about a user via a headset worn by the user. Based on the data, a determination may be made about an aspect of the user, and the user may accordingly be granted or denied access to a resource.

A mouse pad structure (10) includes a pad (1) and an oleophobic film (2), and the pad (1) has an upper surface (11), and the oleophobic film (11) is adhered to the upper surface (11). The oleophobic film (11) includes a plastic substrate (21) and multiple glass microbeads (22) scattered in the plastic substrate (21), so that the mouse pad structure (10) may have a smooth surface and the effects of resisting oil stains and fingerprints and enhancing the aesthetic appearance of a mouse pad.

According to an embodiment, a mousepad comprises a cover layer and an integrated keypad. The cover layer has a lateral extension and an upper surface which is usable for placement (placing, putting down) of a computer mouse. The keypad covers a part of said lateral extension. In an area not covered by the keypad there is a mouse parking area. The mousepad comprises a mouse detector associated with the mouse parking area and a corresponding control unit. The control unit is configured such that the keyboard gets activated when the mouse is inside the mouse parking area and gets deactivated when the mouse is outside the mouse parking area.

A method includes determining a physical location of each of a plurality of peripheral devices communicatively coupled to a host computing device, the each of the plurality of peripheral devices including a computer mouse; generating a lighting sequence configured to activate visual output elements on the each of the plurality of peripheral devices; and modifying the lighting sequence based on the physical location of the computer mouse relative to at least one of the other plurality of peripheral devices. In some aspects, the plurality of peripheral devices further includes a mouse pad, and modifying the lighting sequence for the computer mouse is based on the location of the computer mouse relative to its position on the mouse pad. In some cases, modifying the lighting sequence for the computer mouse is based on the location of the computer mouse relative to its position to the other plurality of peripheral devices.
