Patent granted for computer mouse with multiple power sources
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001620B2) details a computer mouse design that incorporates a unique power management system. The mouse includes a housing that can accommodate a removable first charge storage device, an interface for wireless power reception from an external source, a second charge storage device, and a multiplexor (MUX) that connects these components to one or more processors. The MUX is designed to switch power sources based on the availability and status of the external power source, the first charge storage device, and the interface. Additionally, the patent describes a charging circuit with a current limiter for the second charge storage device, ensuring safe and efficient charging.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a method and system for operating the computer mouse, emphasizing the selection of power sources based on specific criteria. This includes determining the connection status of an external wireless power source, fixed internal power source, and removable internal power source to power the mouse accordingly. The system includes instructions for the processors to manage these power sources effectively. Notably, the patent also mentions the use of a supercapacitor as the fixed internal power source and a charging mouse pad for wireless power transfer via electromagnetic induction. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated power management system for a computer mouse, ensuring optimal performance and efficient charging capabilities.
