Abstract
In one embodiment, the disclosure is directed to an integrated mouse and mass memory storage device (herein, memory storage device). In another embodiment, the disclosure is directed to a Bluetooth mouse having an integrated memory storage device. In still another embodiment, the disclosure relates to a controller for transmitting one or more storage data packets along with one or more mouse data packets from an BT mouse having an integrated mass memory storage.
Claims25
A method to operate a wireless computer mouse, comprising:
- receiving a mouse data packet and at least one storage data packet, the mouse data packet relating to mouse positioning operation relative to an external device and the storage data packet comprising data unrelated to mouse positioning operation received from the external device;
- executing a mouse operation as a function of the mouse data packet;
- and
- storing the at least one storage data packet at an integrated mouse memory circuit;
- wherein the mouse data packet and the storage data packet are received as part of the same frame from the external device and are demultiplexed from the data frame.
A device comprising:
- a first module configured to receive a mouse data packet and execute a mouse operation using the mouse data packet, the mouse data packet including data for mouse positioning operation relative to an external device;
- and
- a second module configured to receive and store at least one storage data packet at an integrated mouse memory circuit, the storage data packet including data unrelated to mouse positioning operation received from the external device;
- wherein the mouse data packet and the storage data packet are received as part of the same frame from the external device and are demultiplexed from the data frame.
A system comprising:
- a transceiver including one or more antennas;
- a memory circuit;
- and
- a controller to communicate with the transceiver and the memory circuit, the controller configured to receive a mouse data packet and a storage data packet, the transceiver configured to execute a mouse operation using the mouse data packet
- wherein the mouse data packet relates to mouse positioning operation relative to an external device and the storage data packet includes data unrelated to mouse positioning operation received from the external device, and wherein the mouse data packet and the storage data packet are received as part of the same frame from the external device and are demultiplexed from the data frame.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage device containing a set of instructions to cause a computer to perform a process comprising:
- receive a mouse data packet and at least one storage data packet;
- execute mouse operation as a function of the mouse data packet;
- and store the at least one data packet at an integrated mouse memory circuit;
- wherein the mouse data packet relates to mouse positioning operation relative to an external device and the storage data packet includes data unrelated to mouse positioning operation received from the external device, and wherein the mouse data packet and the storage data packet are received as part of the same frame from the external device and are demultiplexed from the data frame.
