sMouse : A Development of the Analog Operability of Computer Mouse

摘要

Computer mouse have become necessary devices to use computers. There are many people who use external mice as the interfaces even today when it is common to carry laptop computers. It means that 'Analog operability', to move a Mouse with hands, is suitable for a human being. However, today, a small laptop has various functions. In addition, the data is stored in the cloud service. From those reasons, to carry an external device is not suitable to today's lifestyle. Thereupon, we propose an application to turn smartphones as external mice. The goal is not the concept of IoT (Internet of Things), which suggests that various things should be connected to the Internet and be digitalized, but the concept that implement the analog tool or operability into the digital device or environment. Digital tools or environments have serious problems that those are stolen or copied easily. If the appearance or the operability is fundamentally unique, the similarity is quite obvious, and possibilities of being copied are low. Our aim is not only space saving of the mobile office, but also the attempt based on the idea of 'design, which cannot be copied'.
