Abstract

The invention relates to a multi-function optical mouse, which integrates various functions of computer peripheral apparatuses onto a mouse body. The feature lies in that a mouse control device in an original optical mouse is combined with a video/audio device and a mass storage device in conjunction with multiple units outside the mouse and a multi-memory card socket. Thus, the multi-function optical mouse having the audio playing and storing function, the personal file access function, and the IP phone connection function is achieved.

Claims

1. A multi-function optical mouse composed of a roller &

button and a select switch disposed on an exterior of the mouse and a multi-layer printed circuit disposed in the mouse, wherein the multi-layer printed circuit comprises a USB hub IC, a USB mouse ASIC, a photo sensor IC, a display controller, a system control circuit, a USB voice controller, a voice CODEC IC, an echo killer, a function select circuit, an interface switch circuit, a USB mass storage IC, a MP3 ASIC and a multi-memory card socket connected together; and

functions of an IP phone or a hands-free IP phone conference may be proceeded, network dialog contents may be recorded, files may be accessed, and audio may be played and stored by only controlling the select switch according to the multi-function optical mouse to enhance an effectiveness of the multi-function optical mouse.

2. The multi-function optical mouse according to claim 1, further comprising a display, which is disposed on the exterior and corresponds to the display controller.

3. The multi-function optical mouse according to claim 1, further comprising a phone jack, a speaker, a mic-phone jack and a mic-phone, which are disposed on the exterior and correspond to the MP3 ASIC.

4. The multi-function optical mouse according to claim 1, further comprising a button control, which is disposed on the exterior and corresponds to the system control circuit.

5. The multi-function optical mouse according to claim 1, wherein a chip-type memory card, which may be coupled to the multi-memory card socket, comprises one of a CF memory card, a SD memory card, a MMC memory card, a RS-MMC memory card, a MS-Pro memory card, a MS-Duo memory card and a MiniSD memory card.
