Abstract

The present invention is disclosed a starting method of wireless input apparatus. Step A is when wireless input apparatus is first installed, wireless input transmitting apparatus will judge if being moved or being depressed by at least one related button, if truth, then it will go forward step B; if false, then wireless input transmitting apparatus will continue to detect if being moved or being depressed by at least one related button. Step B is that wireless transmitting apparatus utilizes the packets with the format of normal data packets containing identification code to transmit toward corresponding wireless input receiving apparatus in the first usage. Step C is that wireless input receiving apparatus starts searching in order to receive the packets of step B. Step D is that wireless input receiving apparatus uses the identification code in the packet of step C and sets as the identification code of wireless input receiving apparatus. Accordingly, from the execution of step A to step D, wireless input transmitting apparatus and wireless input receiving apparatus achieve the pairing.

Claims

1. A starting method of wireless input apparatus, comprising the steps:

A. when a wireless input transmitting apparatus is first installed, the wireless input transmitting apparatus will judge if being moved or being depressed by at least one related button, if truth, then it will go forward to step B;

if false, the wireless input transmitting apparatus will continue to detect if being moved or being depressed by at least one related button;

B. the wireless input transmitting apparatus utilizes the packet with the format of normal data packet containing identification code to transmit toward a corresponding wireless input receiving apparatus in the first usage;

C. the wireless input receiving apparatus starts searching in order to receive the packet of the step B; and

D. the wireless input receiving apparatus uses the identification code of the packet of the step C and sets as the identification code of the wireless input receiving apparatus,

Therefore, the wireless input transmitting apparatus and the wireless input receiving apparatus achieve the pairing.

2. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the searching step in the step C is using frequency hopping for searching by the wireless input receiving apparatus.

3. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the wireless input transmitting apparatus is one of a wireless mouse, a wireless keyboard, or a wireless joystick.

4. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the wireless input receiving apparatus further comprises a non-volatile memory for storing the identification code.

5. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the identification code of the step B is produced by random number generated by the wireless input transmitting apparatus.

6. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the setup procedure of the step D is purposed for the setup usage by the wireless input receiving apparatus only capturing the identification code of the packet.

7. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

E. if the wireless input transmitting apparatus after pairing is moved again or at least one button is depressed, the wireless input transmitting apparatus still utilizes the normal data packet format to assemble the packet containing identification code, movement data, depressing data, and then transmits the packet toward the corresponding wireless input receiving apparatus after pairing.

8. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the step B further comprises the step of setting the power of the wireless input transmitting apparatus to adjust the effective range of transmitting the packet of the wireless input transmitting apparatus.

9. The starting method of wireless input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the step C further comprises the step of setting the power of the wireless input receiving apparatus to adjust the effective range of receiving the packet of the step B of the wireless input receiving apparatus.

10. A wireless input apparatus, comprising a wireless input transmitting apparatus and a wireless receiving apparatus, is characterized in that the wireless input apparatus and the wireless receiving apparatus execute respective procedures as follows:

A. when the wireless input transmitting apparatus is first installed, the wireless input transmitting apparatus will judge if being moved or being depressed by at least one related button, if true, then it will go forward to procedure B;

if false, the wireless input transmitting apparatus will continue to detect if being moved or being depressed by at least one related button;

B. the wireless transmitting apparatus utilizes the packet with the format of normal data packet containing identification code to transmit toward the corresponding wireless input receiving apparatus in the first usage;

C. the wireless input receiving apparatus starts searching in order to receive the packet of the procedure B; and

D. the wireless input receiving apparatus uses the identification code of the packet of the procedure C and sets as the identification code of the wireless input receiving apparatus,

Therefore, the wireless input transmitting apparatus and the wireless input receiving apparatus achieve the pairing.

11. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the searching procedure in the procedure C is using frequency hopping for searching by the wireless input receiving apparatus.

12. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the wireless input transmitting apparatus is one of the wireless mouse, the wireless keyboard, or the wireless joystick.

13. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the wireless input receiving apparatus further comprises a non-volatile memory for storing the identification code.

14. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the identification code of the procedure B is produced by random number generated by the wireless input transmitting apparatus.

15. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the setup procedure of the procedure D is purposed for the setup usage by the wireless input receiving apparatus only capturing the identification code of the packet and not to transmit the packet forward the connected computer.

16. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, further comprising:

E. if the wireless input transmitting apparatus after pairing is moved again or at least one button is depressed, the wireless input transmitting apparatus still utilizes normal data packet format to assemble the packet containing identification code, movement data, depressing data, and then transmits the packet toward the corresponding wireless input receiving apparatus after pairing.

17. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the procedure B further comprises the procedure of setting the power of the wireless input transmitting apparatus to adjust the effective range of transmitting the packet of the wireless input transmitting apparatus.

18. The wireless input apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the procedure C further comprises the procedure of setting the power of the wireless input receiving apparatus to adjust the effective range of receiving the packet of procedure B of the wireless input receiving apparatus.
