发明名称 Fingertip mouse and base
摘要 The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a system that includes a tracking device to generate movement information for use in moving a user interface object on a graphical user interface. The tracking device is configured to receive at least a portion of a user's finger. The system also includes a base device configured to receive the tracking device. The base device is configured to translate movement of the base device relative to an adjacent surface for use in moving the user interface object.

主权项 1. An apparatus comprising: a housing that configures the apparatus to be worn in a finger-worn position on a portion of a finger of a user such that a tip end portion of the user's finger extends beyond the housing, the housing including an internal finger contact surface that faces the user's finger when in the finger-worn position, and an external outside surface that faces away from the user's finger when in the finger-worn position,the housing defining an inner space between the internal finger contact surface and the external outside surface, wherein the inner space contains all electronics for operating the apparatus as a wireless finger-worn motion tracking device; wireless communication components disposed within the inner space, the wireless communication components configured and operable to wirelessly communicate with a separate computing system; a display device located on the housing, wherein the display device is configured and operable to output information; and a motion tracking mechanism disposed within the inner space and configured to generate movement information based on movement of the housing, wherein the movement information is for use in controlling the separate computing system, the motion tracking mechanism comprising an accelerometer.
