Abstract
The present invention discloses an iris-recognizable mouse and a computing device using the mouse. The mouse comprises an iris recognizing means for recognizing a user'"'"'s iris and a communication interface USB port. An iris image processing means for processing the user'"'"'s iris image can be mounted on the mouse or a computer. The iris recognizing means is comprised of a camera and at least one light sources in the vicinity of the camera. Preferably, a small-sized camera and light sources are used. The mouse and the computing device of the present invention can be advantageously used for reducing power consumption and for performing user authentication more quickly because the user can simply bring the mouse close to his/her eyes personally and there is no need to measure the distance between the user and the system or to focus.
