• Activities of Mouse
• Types of Mice / Mouses
• How Mouse Works
• Computer Mouse Ports
• How has the Design being changed
4. What is Mouse ?
• A computer mouse is a hand-held pointing device that detects two-
dimentional motion relative to a surface.
• This motion is typically translated into the motion of a pointer on
a display, which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface.
Why it is named as “Mouse” ?
• With the cord coming out of the back of the mouse Douglas said the
device reminded him of the rodent mouse and the name stuck.
• It's a lot easier to remember than a ”X-Y Position Indicator for a Display
System”.
5. Invention of Mouse
• In 1968, a man named
Douglas Engelbart created this
special tool to help people
control their computers.
• It was a small wooden block on
wheels, and there was a long
cable sticking out of the back,
kind of like a tail!
6. Activities of Mouse
• Move the mouse cursor
• Open or execute a program
• Select
• Drag-and-drop
• Hover
• Scroll
• Perform other functions
8. How Mouse Works (Mechanical Mouse)
• When the mouse moved, this
movement rolls a ball found inside.
• The mouse should place on flat table
or mouse pad in order to move.
• The two axles (represent the X and Y
direction) will turn as a result of the
rolling ball.
• Each axle connects to wheel
(resembles like a gear) which spins
when the axle rotates.
9. • Beside each rotating wheel, there are an infrared LED (light-
emitting diode) and infrared Sensor.
• The LED sends a path of light to the wheel.
• The sensor, found on the other side of the wheel, detects the
pulses of light interrupted by rotating wheel.
• The mouse on-board processor chip reads the pulses from the
sensor and translates into computer usable format (binary
data).
• This tells the mouse position and speed which is displayed in
the movement of a cursor on a screen.

10. How Mouse Works (Optical Mouse)
• Today, ball mouse is replaced by optical types
which use LED and a small camera to sense
the movement of a mouse.
• Optical mouse actually uses a tiny camera to
take 2000 pictures every second.
• The mouse has a small, red light-emitting
diode (LED) that bounces light off that surface
onto a complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) sensor.
• The CMOS sensor sends each image to a digital
signal processor (DSP) for analysis.
11. How Mouse Works (Optical Mouse)
• The DSP, operating at 18 MIPS (million instructions per second), is able to detect patterns in the
images and see how those patterns have moved since the previous image.
• the DSP determines how far the mouse has moved and sends the corresponding coordinates to
the computer.
• The computer moves the cursor on the screen based on the coordinates received from the mouse.
• This happens hundreds of times each second, making the cursor appear to move very smoothly.
12. Most modern Mouse has the following parts
• Case
• On-board processor chip
• Two buttons
• A wheel between the two buttons (used to
scroll up and down, Zoom IN and Zoom
Out in applications like AutoCAD)
• Battery (if it is wireless)
• Connection interface such as USB or
Infrared
13. Computer mouse ports
• Bluetooth
• PS/2 Port
• Serial Port
• USB
• Infrared
Today, most computer mice connect to a
computer using a USB port. Below is a listing
of all the type of ports and wireless
connections that a mouse is capable of using
or has used in the past.
14. How has the Design
being changed
• The computer mouse has
definitely changed size, getting
smaller and smaller.
• The design has also become
more comfortable to hold, as the
first computer mouse was quite
square.
• Motion detectors have changed
from a tracking ball, to an LED
light, and now a laser.
15. How has the Design
being changed
• This improves the quality of
motion we see on the screen,
and also eliminated the use of
the mouse pads.
• A ‘scroll wheel’ is also
available on most mouses,
making it easier to view web
pages and folders.
