Electronics Project Idea: Smart Bluetooth Mouse
Electronics engineers may pick up this idea for their third or final year project: Developing a smart bluetooth mouse.
Computer mouse is an integral part of computer system and acts an important form of input. The bluetooth mouse makes the mouse go wirefree. Currently the available computer mice are powered by an AA size battery. When the mouse is not in use, the mouse does not automatically turn itself off. This results in extra power consumption when the mouse is idle. This problem can be solved in following way -
1. Have a mechanical sensor at the bottom of the mouse which will detect motion.
2. When the mouse is not in use for more than 5 seconds, it will turn the laser sensor off and even turn off the bluetooth.
3. When motion is detected, the mechanical sensor will activate the bluetooth and laser sensor again.
This system will save power and provide a longer battery life.
What do you think about this idea, folks?
