Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless mouse system. Particularly, the present invention relates to a wireless mouse system in which includes a controller, which controls a receiver and a flash memory device integrated into an interfacing device, can be performed function of the receiver and the flash memory device smoothly. 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. The interfacing device comprises a receiver receiving a signal data transferred wirelessly from the wireless mouse, and transferring the signal data to the information-displaying device, a flash memory device exchanging data with the information-displaying device through the USB terminal and a controller controlling the receiver and the flash memory device, and transferring optionally the signal of the receiver and the flash memory device to the information-displaying device.

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,

wherein the interfacing device comprises;

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

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

a controller controlling the receiver and the flash memory device, and transferring selectively the signal generated from the receiver and/or the flash memory device to the information-displaying device.

2. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the controller comprises:

a plurality of input port connecting with the receiver and the flash memory device;

a repeater/router sensing the signal inputting in the input ports;

a transaction translator controlling transmitting velocity of the transmitted signals from the repeater/router; and

a USB interface transmitting the transmitted signals from the repeater/router to the USB terminal.

3. The wireless mouse system according to claim 2, wherein the controller further comprises:

a EEPROM recorded a information needing at the time of an early stage setting of the controller operation; and

a CPU setting the controller operation using the information recorded in the EEPROM.

4. The wireless mouse system according to claim 3, wherein the CPU intercepts access of input ports not connecting the receiver or the flash memory device among the input ports at the time of the early stage setting.

5. The wireless mouse system according to claim 3, wherein the CPU recognizes connected input ports with the receiver or the flash memory device, and sets the order of priority of the connected input ports.

6. The wireless mouse system according to claim 5, wherein a input port connecting with the receiver is higher priority order than a input port connecting with the flash memory device.

7. The wireless mouse system according to claim 6, wherein the repeater/router transmits the signals inputting in the input ports to the transaction translator according to the order of priority.

8. The wireless mouse system according to claim 2, wherein the controller further comprises:

a timing controller controlling total timing of the controller operation; and

a plurality of input port controller controlling the input ports operation.

9. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the interfacing device is capable of inserting in and separating from inside of the wireless mouse.

10. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the receiver comprises:

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

a CIS memory storing data about the receiver;

a receiver 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 receiver controller, and coupling the receiver with the information-displaying device for transferring the data transferred to the receiver controller to the information-displaying device.

11. 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.

12. The wireless mouse system according to claim 1, wherein the interfacing device further comprises a charging device charging the wireless mouse.
