Abstract:
1. An input system combining a mouse and a planar sensing device, the input system comprising: a mouse coupled to a host; a planar sensing device coupled to the host and connected to the mouse for determining motion of at least one object according to variations of a sound, a temperature, an electric field, a pressure, a light path, and/or an image caused by the at least one object when the at least one object touches the planar sensing device; and a calculation device for generating at least one corresponding instruction according to the motion of the at least one object; wherein the planar sensing device is enabled and the mouse is disabled synchronously when the at least one object touches the planar sensing device over a first predetermined time; and the planar sensing device is disabled and the mouse is enabled synchronously when the at least one object does not touch the planar sensing device over a second predetermined time; wherein a left half area of the planar sensing device is enabled and a right half area of the planar sensing device and the mouse are disabled synchronously when the at least one object touches the left half area of the planar sensing device over the first predetermined time.
