Abstract:
1. A mouse scroll device for a personal computer comprising: a mouse having: a) a left button; b) a right button; c) a scroll sensing plate sensing touching and a sliding movement applied from an exterior of the mouse and controlling a scroll movement of a screen of a display device of the personal computer; d) a scroll controller, the scroll sensing plate is coupled to an input end of the scroll controller; e) a microprocessor; f) a transmission set, an output end of said microprocessor being coupled to an input end of the transmission set; and g) a mouse optical sensor, an output end of the scroll controller is coupled to a first input end of the microprocessor and the mouse optical sensor is coupled to a second input end of the microprocessor, wherein when a user touches the scroll sensing plate by selectively touching and sliding relative the scroll sensing plate, the scroll sensing plate sending a first sensed signal to the microprocessor through the scroll sensor for determination, and the microprocessor outputting a first control signal to the personal computer through the transmission set for controlling the scroll movement of the screen of the display device of the personal computer, wherein when the user touches the scroll sensing plate by selectively touching the scroll sensing plate a predetermined number of times, the scroll sensing plate sending a second sensed signal to the microprocessor through the scroll sensor for determination, and the microprocessor outputting a second control signal to the personal computer through the transmission set producing a middle button function utilizing the scroll sensing plate. wherein the scroll sensing plate is located between the left button and the right button.
