Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless mouse system. Particularly, the present invention relates to a wireless mouse system which can integrate a flash memory device and a receiving device of a wireless mouse into one device. A wireless mouse system comprises a wireless mouse; and an interfacing device with a USB terminal, electrically communicated with a USB port of a information-displaying device, and having at least one recess disposed on a surface thereof, wherein the interfacing device comprises a receiving device receiving a signal data transferred wirelessly from the wireless mouse, and transferring the signal to the information-displaying device; and a flash memory device exchanging data with the information-displaying device through the USB terminal.

Claims

1. A wireless mouse system comprising:

a wireless mouse; and

an interfacing device with a USB terminal, electrically communicated with a USB port of a information-displaying device, and having at least one recess disposed on a surface thereof,

wherein the interfacing device comprises;

a receiving device receiving a signal data transferred wirelessly from the wireless mouse, and transferring the signal to the information-displaying device; and

a flash memory device exchanging data with the information-displaying device through the USB terminal.

2. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the wireless mouse comprises a socket releasably retaining the interfacing device inserted therein.

3. The wireless mouse system according to claim 2, wherein the wireless mouse further comprises a fixing member having at least one protrusion, and wherein at least one protrusion is releasably inserted into the at least one recess of the interfacing device retained in the socket.

4. The wireless mouse system according to claim 3, wherein the at least one recess is disposed on the surface of the USB terminal.

5. The wireless mouse system according to claim 3, wherein the at least one recess is disposed on the surface of the interfacing device.

6. The wireless mouse system according to claim 3, wherein the fixing member comprises:

a release button coupled with the at least one protrusion, and disposed on a outer surface of the wireless mouse; and

an elastic member disposed in the socket for pushing the interfacing device to an outside of the wireless mouse,

wherein the at least one protrusion is released from the at least one recess by pressing the release button, and then the interfacing device is extracted from the wireless mouse by the elastic member.

7. The wireless mouse system according to claim 6, wherein the elastic member is a spring.

8. The wireless mouse system according to claim 3, wherein the at least one protrusion is wedge-shaped.

9. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the interfacing device further comprises a controller transferring the signal of the receiving device to the information-displaying device, exchanging the data of the flash memory device with the information-displaying device, and coupled to the USB terminal, the receiving device and the flash memory device.

10. The wireless mouse system according to claim 9,

wherein the interfacing device further comprises a selection switch coupled to the controller, and switched to the receiving device or the flash memory device, and

wherein the controller transfers a control signal to the switched device by the selection switch.

11. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the receiving device comprises:

a signal receiver receiving the signal transferred wirelessly from the wireless mouse;

a CIS memory storing data about the receiving device;

a receiving device controller converting the signal transferred from the signal receiver into data for the information-displaying device; and

a bus controller transferring the data of the CIS memory to the receiving device controller, and coupling the receiving device with the information-displaying device for transferring the data transferred to the receiving device controller to the information-displaying device.

12. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the flash memory device comprises:

a flash memory storing the data;

an interface part converting the data generated from the flash memory into a USB signal, transferring the USB signal to the USB terminal, and receiving a signal generated from the information-displaying device; and

a flash memory controller storing the signal generated from the interface part in the flash memory, reading the data from the flash memory, and transferring the data to the interface part.

13. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the interfacing device further comprises a charging device coupled to the USB terminal and charged through the USB terminal.

14. A wireless mouse system according to claim 11, wherein the wireless mouse comprises:

a socket releasably retaining the interfacing device inserted therein; and

an auxiliary battery configured to couple with the USB terminal of the interfacing device retained in the socket, and

wherein the auxiliary battery is charged from the charging device.

15. A wireless mouse comprising a socket releasably retaining an interfacing device inserted therein,

wherein the interfacing device has a USB terminal, and at least one recess disposed on a surface of the interfacing device.

16. The wireless mouse according to claim 15, wherein the wireless mouse further comprises a fixing member having at least one protrusion, and

wherein at least one protrusion is releasably inserted into the at least one recess of the interfacing device retained in the socket.

17. The wireless mouse according to claim 16, wherein the fixing member comprises:

a release switch coupled with the at least one protrusion, and disposed on a outer surface of the wireless mouse; and

an elastic member disposed in the socket for pushing the interfacing device to an outside of the wireless mouse,

wherein the at least one protrusion is released from the at least one recess by pressing the release switch, and then the interfacing device is extracted from the wireless mouse by the elastic member.

18. The wireless mouse according to claim 17, wherein the elastic member is a spring.

19. The wireless mouse according to claim 16, wherein the at least one protrusion is wedge-shaped.

20. A wireless mouse system comprising:

a wireless mouse; and

an interfacing device electrically communicated with a USB port of a information-displaying device, and having a USB terminal,

wherein the interfacing device comprises;

a receiving device receiving a signal data transferred wirelessly from the wireless mouse, and transferring the signal to the information-displaying device; and

a flash memory device exchanging data with the information-displaying device through the USB terminal.
