20230102932 · 2023-03-30 ·

A wireless finger mouse according to the present invention has a structure in which an assembly of a base plate and a button plate makes it possible for a multiplicity of mouse buttons to have only a planar configuration. Thus, the wireless finger mouse is easy to miniaturize, enhances high portability, and can be conveniently operated with a user's hand in a natural and comfortable state. That is, the wireless finger mouse can be operated in a state where the palm of the user's hand is brought into contact with a mouse pad or the like and thus where the tip of the user's finger is naturally seated on the mouse button. The user who uses a mouse in the related art feels less of a sensation of difference from the mouse in the related art, when using the wireless finger mouse. The wireless finger mouse maintains the same external functionality as the mouse in the related art. Thus, users of all ages can easily use the wireless finger mouse. The wireless finger mouse provides an increased visual design effect in keeping with a trend toward an emphasis on a design value of a device, as well as functions of the device.

An assembly-type mouse comprises a dismountable casing, a processor, at least one press key and at least one track sensor. The dismountable casing includes an upper casing and a lower casing. The upper casing includes a body and at least two moveable sidewalls. Two moveable sidewalls are respectively disposed at two sides of the body and able to rotate with respect to the body. The processor and press keys are disposed inside the dismountable casing. The press key has a press member on the surface thereof and a first connector configured to connect with a press-key input port of the processor. The track sensor has a second connector configured to connect with a track-sensor input port of the processor. The mouse may be disassembled. Reassembling the mouse can generate different application forms of the mouse.

Deployment systems for computer system finger devices

A system may include a finger device that is worn on a user's finger. The finger device may serve as a controller for a head-mounted device or other devices in the system. The finger device may have a foldable housing with hinge structures that allow portions of the housing to fold with respect to each other. Magnets or other bistability structures may be used to provide the folding housing with folding bistability. This allows the housing to be placed in a stable unfolded state that releases the finger or a stable folded state in which the housing snaps over the finger and holds the finger device in place. A base may be used to store the finger device for charging. The base may have deployment structures that help place the finger device on the user's finger for use.

Systems for calibrating finger devices

A finger device may be worn on a user's finger and may serve as a controller for a head-mounted device or other electronic device. The finger device may have a housing having an upper housing portion that extends across a top of the finger and first and second side housing portions that extend down respective first and second sides of the finger. Displacement sensors in the side housing portions may measure movements of the sides of the finger as the finger contacts an external surface. To account for variations in skin compliance, the finger device and/or the electronic device may store calibration data that maps displacement values gathered by the displacement sensors to force values. The calibration data may be based on calibration measurements gathered while the user's finger wearing the finger device contacts a force sensor in an external electronic device.
