Abstract

A wireless mouse can self-generate and self-accumulate electrical energy by utilizing the kinetic energy during user shaking the mouse. The wireless mouse has a shell, a command device, a rechargeable battery and a generating device. The command device is assembled in the shell. The command device has a controller for detecting a position of the shell and producing an electronic signal, a demodulator for transforming the electronic signal to a wireless signal, and an antenna for transmitting the wireless signal. The rechargeable battery is assembled in the shell for supplying electrical energy to the command device. The generating device is assembled in the shell and has a linear generator which is electrically connecting to the rechargeable battery.

Claims

a rechargeable battery, assembled in said shell for supplying electrical energy to said command device; and

a generating device, assembling in said shell, said generating device having a linear generator which is electrically connecting to said rechargeable battery.

2. The wireless mouse as in claim 1, wherein said controller having a detecting unit and an encoding unit.

3. The wireless mouse as in claim 2, wherein said detecting unit is a mechanical type detecting unit.

4. The wireless mouse as in claim 2, wherein said detecting unit is an optical type detecting unit.

5. The wireless mouse as in claim 1, wherein said command device further has a switch unit electrically connecting to said encoding unit.

6. The wireless mouse as in claim 1, wherein said liner generator has a coin arranged in a spreading manner and a flat magnet movably disposed above said coin.

7. The wireless mouse as in claim 1, wherein said generating device further comprises a rectifier electrically connecting to said linear generator.

8. The wireless mouse as in claim 7, wherein said rectifier is a bridge rectifier.

9. The wireless mouse as in claim 7, wherein said generating device further comprises a constant voltage regulator, and said constant voltage regulator has two ends, one end is connected to said rectifier and the other end is connected to said rechargeable battery.

10. The wireless mouse as in claim 9, wherein said constant voltage regulator comprises a resistance and a capacitance, and wherein said resistance has two ends, one end is connected to said rectifier and the other end is connected to said rechargeable battery, and wherein said capacitance has two ends, one end is connected to said rectifier and the other end is grounding.
