INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MOUSE POWER MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17839990 titled 'INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM MOUSE POWER MANAGEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a mouse for an information handling system that has a position sensor and a push button. The position sensor can detect movement with either high sensitivity (higher power consumption) or low sensitivity (lower power consumption). The push button can detect button press inputs with either high scan rate (higher power consumption) or low scan rate (lower power consumption). The mouse can switch between different power consumption modes based on usage patterns or commands from the information handling system.
- The mouse has a position sensor that can detect movement with high or low sensitivity.
- The mouse has a push button that can detect button press inputs with high or low scan rate.
- The mouse can switch between high and low power consumption modes based on usage patterns or commands from the information handling system.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in various information handling systems that require a mouse input device.
- It can be beneficial for applications that require precise movement detection, such as graphic design or gaming.
- It can also be useful for applications that prioritize power efficiency, such as laptops or mobile devices.
Problems Solved
- The mouse provides flexibility in sensitivity and power consumption, allowing users to adapt it to different applications.
- It solves the problem of having a fixed sensitivity or power consumption level, which may not be suitable for all use cases.
- It addresses the need for a mouse that can conserve power when not in use or when power efficiency is a priority.
Benefits
- Users can adjust the sensitivity and power consumption of the mouse based on their preferences or specific application requirements.
- The mouse can conserve power when not in use or when power efficiency is important, extending battery life.
- It provides a more versatile and adaptable mouse experience for different types of users and applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system mouse includes a position sensor that detects movement and a push button that detects button press inputs for communication to an information handling system. The position sensor detects positions with a high sensitivity having a higher power consumption or a low sensitivity having a lower sensitivity. The push button detects button press inputs with a high scan rate having a higher power consumption or a low scan rate having a lower power consumption. The mouse configures to plural high and low power consumption modes based upon a detected usage pattern and/or a command from an information handling system, such as to adapt the mouse to use by different applications executing on the information handling system.
