DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved computer peripheral device.
It is another object to incorporate a mouse and a telephone into a single, integrated computer peripheral.
It is yet another object to provide an integrated peripheral device able to operationally function as a mouse and as a telephone, in conformance with selections of operational modes by a user.
It is still another object to provide a single device able to function as both a wireless mouse and as a handset for a cordless telephone at the discretion of the user, allowing the user to place telephone calls, receive telephone calls, and position the cursor on a personal computer screen, all from a remote location.
It is also an object to provide a dual-purpose telephone and wireless mouse in which telephone functions are added to a mouse used with a computer, and, when needed, the communication functions installed in the computer can be easily utilized.
These and other objects may be achieved by installing the base unit of a cordless telephone inside of the chassis of either a laptop computer or a personal computer, and by having a separate remote control unit that can function both as a wireless mouse for the computer and as a handset for a cordless telephone, selective at the discretion of the user.
The remote control unit may be constructed with a microphone, a speaker, a keypad, an antenna, a mouse or trackball, a mouse button, and a selection switch that allows the user to choose between a mouse operational mode and a cordless operational telephone mode.
The personal or laptop computer containing the base unit of the cordless telephone is connected to the telephone jack.
From this single remote control unit, the user can place or receive telephone calls as well as operate the computer by, for example, being able to position the cursor on the video screen attached to the computer to initiate and selectively designate functional and operational selections from menus displayed on the screen
