[0001] 1. The Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention generally relates to a receiver with wireless input device, and more particularly relates to a receiver with wireless input device, wherein the wireless input device can be fitted within the receiver so that the receiver can charge the wireless input device. Thus wireless input device can be carried without requiring any inverter or transformer.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] With the rapid development in computer technology, the desktop or notebook computer is very commonly used nowadays. The user can use computer to link to internet for retrieving information, as well as for transmitting data. Due to the advantage, convenience and no boundary, internet has become the most important resource for individuals and companies. The usage of computers substantially provides convenience and comfort to users in daily activity and work. The computer peripheral products are essential tools for operating computer, for example, the mouse, the in-expendable device for operating computer, in that, the location and direction of the cursor can be controlled, thus enable the user to operate computers easily and conveniently.
[0005] The conventional mouse is connected to the computer by a wire. However the length of the wire could limit the usage range of the mouse and the wire easily gets entangled with other wire connected to the computer causing inconvenience. Besides, generally speaking, the mouse is placed on the side of the computer, and at times, the user may easily mistakenly press a wrong key of the mouse causing wrong operation that may in a worse situation ruin the data. Taking the notebook computer as an example, the purpose of this invention is for making the computer compact so that it can be carried by anywhere by the user. Such computer also needs mouse to control the cursor, but the connecting wire of the mouse substantially cause inconvenience to the user. Besides, the slot of the notebook computer has limited space for plugging various connecting wires, thus the connecting ports are positioned very close to each other and can easily cause interference. The most important point above all is that the connecting wire makes the mouse difficult to be put away, and thereby the efficacy of the portable feature is limited. Further, during storage and carriage of the computer, the key of the mouse can easily get pressed by other elements to cause damages. Therefore, to overcome these defects of the mouse is a very important issue for the manufacturers in this field.
[0006] Accordingly, in the view of the foregoing, the present inventor makes a detailed study of related art to evaluate and consider, and uses years of accumulated experience in this field, and through several experiments, to create a new receiver with wireless input device. The present invention provides an innovated cost effective receiver with wireless input device.
[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, the receiver comprises a receiving device and a wireless input device (wireless mouse). The receiving device comprises a signal receiver having an extendable connecting element and a receiving space for receiving the wireless input device. The wireless input device can be used within the receiving range of the receiving device to transmit the inputted signals to the computer and for controlling the cursor of the computer wirelessly.
[0008] According to another aspect of the present invention, the receiving space of the receiver device comprises a lid over the receiving space for covering over the receiving space for keeping the dirt and the like away from the receiving space.
[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, the receiving device comprises a charging element in the receiving space, and the wireless input device is equipped with a corresponding element for connecting with the charging element. When fitting the wireless input device into the receiving space, the corresponding element of the wireless input device comes in contact with the charging element for charging the power therein.
[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, when the receiver is in idle state, the connecting elements can be stored into the receiver, and the wireless input device can be stored within the receiving space for easy carriage and storage.
[0011] For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference will now be made to the following detailed description of preferred embodiments taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
