Abstract

A mouse for controlling the operation of a handheld wireless communication apparatus is disclosed having on the outside thereof, in addition to the basic left button, right button and roller/button, a reset button, a power switch, a joystick button, a mode selector switch and a quick launch button, and on the inside thereof a 2.4 GHz wireless transmission module and a program-controlled microprocessor so that the wireless mouse can be moved by the user on a support surface or operated with the fingers through the joystick button after separation of the wireless mouse from the support surface to shift or change picture frames on the screen of the controlled handheld wireless communication apparatus by means of a radio frequency control.

Claims

1. A wireless mouse for controlling the operation of a handheld wireless communication apparatus, comprising on the outside thereof:

a left button and a right button arranged in parallel;

a roller/button for quick image change control of the controlled handheld wireless communication apparatus; and

an optical device installed in a bottom side of the wireless mouse for image focusing; and

on the inside thereof;

a 2.4 GHz wireless transmission module, said 2.4 GHz wireless transmission module comprising a match password for two-way communication to prevent eavesdropping and a data-encoded specific serial format radio wave;

an optical induction module and a light emitting device, said optical induction module being adapted to process message of light emitted by said light emitting device and reflected light by an external object and focused by said optical device;

a power management circuit and a battery set for providing the wireless mouse with a stable working power; and

a microprocessor electrically coupled to said left button, said right button, said roller/button, said optical induction module, said light emitting device, said power management circuit and said battery set and adapted to control the operation of the connected devices for enabling the wireless mouse to be moved on a support surface in all directions by a user to cause said optical induction module to generate corresponding control signals indicative of the direction and amount of movement of the wireless mouse for transmission through said wireless transmission module to the controlled handheld wireless communication apparatus wirelessly.

2. The wireless mouse as claimed in claim 1, further comprising on the outside thereof a reset button electrically connected to said microprocessor for resetting wireless connection between the wireless mouse and the controlled handheld wireless communication apparatus.

3. The wireless mouse as claimed in claim 1, further comprising on the outside thereof a power switch electrically connected to said microprocessor for control power on/off of the wireless mouse.

4. The wireless mouse as claimed in claim 1, further comprising on the outside thereof a joystick button electrically connected to said microprocessor for controlling said 2.4 GHz wireless transmission module to transmit different directional control signals wirelessly.

5. The wireless mouse as claimed in claim 1, further comprising on the outside thereof a mode selector switch electrically connected to said microprocessor for enabling the wireless mouse to be compatible to different operating systems.

6. The wireless mouse as claimed in claim 1, further comprising on the outside thereof a quick launch button electrically connected to said microprocessor for execution of the selected option and for weapon triggering control during playing of a video game through the controlled handheld wireless communication apparatus, said quick launch button being disposed on a middle part of a front side of the wireless mouse.

7. The wireless mouse as claimed in claim 1, wherein said light emitting device is a light emitting diode within the range of visible spectrum.
