Abstract
The present disclosure provides method and apparatus for configuring a mouse device through pressure detection, and further proposes a corresponding mouse device. Pressure detected between the mouse device and an operation surface may be obtained. An operating state corresponding to the pressure may be determined. The mouse device may be configured to the operating state.
Claims20
A mouse device, comprising:
- one or more pressure sensors located at the bottom of the mouse device for detecting pressure between the mouse device and an operation surface;
- and
- a control unit for determining at least one operating state for the mouse device based on the one or more pressures and configuring the mouse device to the at least one operating state that has a corresponding sensitivity, wherein the sensitivity is proportional with the pressure if the pressure is equal to or greater than a threshold.
A mouse device, comprising:
- one or more pressure sensors located at the bottom of the mouse device for detecting pressure between the mouse device and an operation surface;
- and
- a control unit for determining an operating state based on the pressure and identifying from a plurality of predetermined pressure ranges a pressure range into which the pressure falls, wherein the plurality of predetermined pressure ranges are associated with respective sensitivity configuration states such that the control unit determines the operating state as one of the sensitivity configuration states associated with the identified pressure range that includes the pressure.
A mouse device, comprising:
- one or more pressure sensors located at the bottom of the mouse device for detecting pressure between the mouse device and an operation surface;
- and
- a control unit for determining an operating state based on the pressure, wherein the operating state comprises a hover state or a non-hover state, the mouse device being disabled in the hover state and being enabled in the non-hover state.
