Beschreibung einer Erfindung im Bereich der EDV:
Verwendete Begriffe:Description of an invention in the field of EDP:
Terms used:
Weg: von der Maus zurückgelegte Strecke
Pixel: dabei vom Cursor zurückgelegte Strecke in
der Einheit Pixel
Maus: Zeigeinstrument, zum Beispiel an einem Computer
Cursor: Mauscursor
Maus, mit der das Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis kontrolliert
verändert werden kann.Path: distance covered by the mouse
Pixel: distance covered by the cursor in the unit pixel
Mouse: pointing instrument, for example on a computer
Cursor: mouse cursor
Mouse with which the path-to-pixel ratio can be changed in a controlled manner.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine neue Art der Kontrolle der "Geschwindigkeit des Mauscursors" durch den Anwender. Genauer: - der Kontrolle des Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnisses durch den Anwender während des Arbeitens mit der Maus.The invention relates to a new type of control "Mouse cursor speed" by the user. More precisely: - the control of the path-to-pixel ratio by the user while working with the mouse.
Eine einfachere und genauere Kontrolle der "Geschwindigkeit des Mauscursors" als es bisher gab, erlaubt schnelleres, leichteres und genaueres Arbeiten mit modernen Computern.Easier and more precise control of "speed mouse cursor "than before, allows faster, easier and more accurate work with modern computers.
Dies ist besonders erstrebenswert, wenn man bedenkt, daß die Maus zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt und von sehr vielen Menschen tagtäglich intensiv genutzt wird.This is particularly worthwhile when you consider that the mouse is becoming more and more important many people use it intensively every day.
Beim Arbeiten mit der Maus taucht folgendes Problem auf:The following problem occurs when working with the mouse:
Einerseits möchte man mit einer kleinen Mausbewegung den Cursor weit über den Bildschirm bewegen, wozu das Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis möglichst klein sein muß. Andererseits möchte man den Cursor auch sehr genau positionieren können, wozu das Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis möglichst groß sein muß. In der Praxis begnügt man sich mit einem unbefriedigenden Kompromiß.On the one hand, you want to move the mouse Move cursor far across the screen, what for Path-to-pixel ratio must be as small as possible. On the other hand, you also want the cursor to be very precise position what the path-to-pixel ratio must be as large as possible. In practice you are content with an unsatisfactory compromise.
Größere Bildschirme mit immer höheren Auflösungen (z. B. CAD-Arbeitsplätze) lassen dieses Problem besonders hervortreten.Larger screens with ever higher resolutions (e.g. CAD workstations) leave this problem special emerge.
Es gibt bereits dynamische Mäuse, bei denen das Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis proportional zur Geschwindigkeit der Maus ist. Meines Wissens sind jedoch nur die Maustreiber (Software) dynamisch und nicht die Mäuse selbst. There are already dynamic mice that do this Path-to-pixel ratio proportional to the speed of the Mouse is. To my knowledge, however, only those are Mouse drivers (software) dynamically and not the mice themselves.
Die Kontrolle des Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnisses durch die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Maus bewegt wird, ist nach meinen Erfahrungen auch nicht sehr befriedigend. Mögliche Gründe:Control of the path-to-pixel ratio by the The speed at which the mouse is moved is slow not very satisfactory in my experience. Possible reasons:
Hektische Bewegungen mit der Maus sind unangenehm und ungenau. Durch die Dynamik des Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnisses kann man sich gar nicht oder nur schwer an das Verhalten der Maus gewöhnen, die Bedienung erfordert erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit und man wird so von seiner eigentlichen Aufgabe abgelenkt. Nicht an den einzelnen Anwender anpaßbare Art der Dynamik.Hectic movements with the mouse are uncomfortable and inaccurate. Due to the dynamic of the One cannot get away-to-pixel ratio at all or difficult to get used to the behavior of the mouse that Service requires increased attention and you become so distracted from his real job. Not on Type of dynamics that can be adapted to the individual user.
Die Erfindung soll hier Abhilfe schaffen, indem der Anwender selbst, direkt und genau das Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis bestimmen kann.The invention is intended to remedy this by the user itself, directly and precisely the path-to-pixel ratio can determine.
Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß die einzelnen Maustasten eine doppelte Funktionalität aufweisen, damit man mit ihnen auch das Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis beeinflussen kann.The invention is that the individual mouse buttons have dual functionality so you can use them can also affect the path-to-pixel ratio.
Es gibt also nicht mehr bloß die 2 Schaltzustände "Gedrückt" und "Nicht gedrückt", sondern die 3 Zustände "Gedrückt", "Berührt" und "Nicht berührt"!So there are no longer just the 2 switching states "pressed" and "not pressed", but the 3 states "pressed", "Touched" and "Not touched"!
Speziell erreicht man dies, indem man die Maustasten mit berührungsempfindlichen Sensorflächen ausstattet, siehe Zeichnung. Einfache Schalter mit den Zuständen "Gedrückt", "Halb gedrückt" und "Nicht gedrückt" sind natürlich auch möglich, aber nicht so angenehm in der Bedienung. ("Halb gedrückt" entspricht hier "Berührt")This can be achieved in particular by using the mouse buttons equipped with touch-sensitive sensor surfaces, see Drawing. Simple switches with the states "pressed", "Half pressed" and "not pressed" are of course also possible, but not so pleasant to use. ("Half pressed "corresponds to" touched ")
Verschiedenste Konfigurationen sind so vorstellbar, eine sehr sinnvolle möchte ich nun, zur Erläuterung, als Beispiel näher beschreiben:Various configurations are conceivable, one I would now like to explain this very sensibly as an example describe in more detail:
Eine Zweitasten-Maus mit 2 Sensortasten,
absolute Änderung der Mickey-Rate, die die Maus pro
Wegeinheit aussendet, dadurch Kompatibilität zu alter
Software:
Bewegt man die Maus ohne eine Taste zu berühren, so ist
das Weg-zu-Mickey-Verhältnis und somit das
Weg-zu-Pixel-Verhältnis klein (kleiner Weg, große
Cursorbewegung), ebenso wenn man beide Tasten berührt
(das ist wichtig, wenn man bei gedrückter Maustaste große
Strecken mit dem Cursor zurücklegen will).
Bewegt man die Maus und man berührt nur die linke
Maustaste, so wird das Weg-zu-Mickey-Verhältnis
herabgesetzt (großer Weg, kleine Cursorbewegung).
Die Stärke der Herabsetzung ist über eine Stellschraube
mit sehr feiner Rasterung an der Maus einstellbar.
Nun kann man also mit dem Finger auf der Taste den
Cursor sehr genau positionieren, um dann den Klick
auszuführen.
Mit einem Schiebeschalter wählt man den Betriebsmodus der
Maus: keine, eine oder zwei berührungsempfindliche Tasten
(bzw. die sich daraus ergebenden Funktionalitäten).A two-button mouse with 2 sensor buttons, absolute change in the Mickey rate that the mouse sends out per travel unit, thereby compatibility with old software:
If you move the mouse without touching a key, the path-to-Mickey ratio and thus the path-to-pixel ratio is small (small path, large cursor movement), as well as if you touch both keys (this is important if you want to cover large distances with the cursor while holding down the mouse button).
If you move the mouse and you only touch the left mouse button, the way-to-Mickey ratio is reduced (long way, small cursor movement). The strength of the reduction can be adjusted using a set screw with a very fine grid on the mouse.
Now you can position the cursor very precisely with your finger on the button to then execute the click.
With a slide switch you select the operating mode of the mouse: none, one or two touch-sensitive buttons (or the resulting functionalities).
Natürlich könnte man auch die Maustreiber ändern und statt die Mickey-Rate herabzusetzen sendet man dem Treiber die entsprechende Information als Befehl. Man sieht, die Möglichkeiten der technischen Realisierung sind hard- wie softwaremäßig sehr, sehr vielfältig. Darum ist hier auch keine explizit angegeben, und darum auch die etwas umständliche Beschreibung, sorry.Of course you could also change the mouse drivers and instead to lower the Mickey rate send the driver the corresponding information as a command. You can see that Possibilities of the technical realization are hard as software, very, very diverse. That's why it's here too none explicitly stated, and therefore the something cumbersome description, sorry.
