Computer Mouse Collection by the Public (November 2012)
Abstract: This specification discloses a unique art and entertainment - computer mouse collection by the public. The objective of this invention is to make personal collections of the computer mouse go up as social activities, and break the limit of traditional collection activities in which computer mice are collected by individuals privately. The great efforts have been made on that the broad masses of the people participate in the computer mouse collection, and the computer mice are collected together by the public and shown in a Web-based graphic gallery to be appreciated by people as works of art. As a result, the computer mouse collection is stridden forward from the personal hobby to a public art and entertainment. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is a unique art and entertainment - computer mouse collection by the public. More particularly, the invention mainly focuses on making personal collections of the computer mouse go up as social activities. The computer mice are collected together by the broad masses of the people, and the related data and images are available to be viewed through the Internet. People can visit this graphic gallery on the Web and appreciate it as works of art. The prior work of this invention includes the computer mouse collections by the individuals, the development of the Internet, the popularization of online shopping and the progress of product delivery systems, etc. As an essential input device for all modern computers, the mouse has revolutionized personal computing and might just be the computer user's best friend. It is very convenient for working with windows systems and graphical user interfaces that are implemented in most of computer applications. Besides the mouse is important to the development of computer technology, beneficial to human life and friendly with computer users, it is also very cute and in various shapes and designs. Then many people are very interested in collecting them as a personal hobby. Since 1990s, the World Wide Web (WWW) has begun to be used in connecting people remotely and outcomes in various fields can be put together and viewed by the public through the Internet. In the meantime the online shopping is also popularized and the product delivery systems become more robust. Based on these achivements, it is possible to create a unique art and entertainment - computer mouse collection by the public. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention intends to make personal collections of the computer mouse go up as social activities. The objective of this invention is to break the limit of traditional collection activities, make the computer mouse collection be shared by the public and popularize this excellent spare time interest among students, officers, workers and other crowds. The value of the collection is further heightened by utilizing the achivements of the Internet publishing and sharing, online shopping and product delivering, etc. The advantages of this invention are remarkable. The computer mouse collection is engaged in with participation of the broad masses of the people, and shown in the Web-based graphic gallery to be appreciated by people as works of art. As a result, the computer mouse collection is no longer a kind of private activities, and is stridden forward from the personal hobby to a public art and entertainment. Through this invention, the computer mouse collection attracts the attention of the broad masses of the people and unites people in the different areas together. It arouses people's enthusiasm to the computer science and information technology. People can cultivate their mind and enjoy their life in the information times by participating in this kind of collection activities. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The goal of this invention is that the computer mice are collected by the public. As the first step, all collected computer mice are assigned the permanent collection numbers and put in the plastic bags to be preserved as a mouse museum (participants or recipients of gifts make a choice of preserving the mice in the collection center or keeping the mice themselves). For the same type of the mice, the first one received by the collection center is the primary collection and is assigned a primary collection number (for example, No. 100), and others are assigned the collection number with extensions (for example, No. 100.1, No. 100.2, No. 100.3 ...). The collectors can select or reserve an available primary collection number for their mice, and use the mice as the perfect and elegant gifts to mother, father, children, couples, classmates or colleagues. The collection number, collector's name (or nickname, artistical name, stage name, pen name, net name, etc.) and city (or county) are printed on the collection labels to be sticked on the plastic bags. If the mouse is a gift, the recipient's name is used as the collector's name. The second step is to take pictures for these collected computer mice and and launch a website to make the collection data and images be viewed by the collectors and the public through the Internet. A graphic gallery is designed on the Web pages with display of thumbnail images of the collected mice, and the corresponding images can be shown in different sizes (small, medium and large) by clicking on thumbnail images or buttons. The primary computer mice in the collection are shown under the collection numbers on the website, and others are linked to the primary ones. The collection labels sticked on the plastic bags can also be viewed by Web visitors. The user interface is simply and concisely designed in the middle of the Web browser and divided into several sections including title, menu, graphic gallery, searching by collection number, newly collected mice, newly collected gifts, buying mouse online, messages and links, etc. The top 10 best values, best designs, best names, best images, best gifts and top 10 quantities of the collected mice are designed to raise the value of the collection, the enthusiasm of the collection activity and the effect of the art, etc. To handle the collection data and images, a computer mouse collection database is built at the collection center. The collector's information and images are stored in the database using the collection number as ID (mouse ID). The detailed data in the database include collection number, collector's name, city (or county) and country, collecting date, mouse type, name given by owner, model given by owner, owner's email, mouse location, message and rating, etc. The simple JavaScript database is used to omit data sorting processes, omit the database retrieval server, manage the data and index files more easily, eliminate database redundancy and make the database highly portable. Also the 2 or multi-dimension data model of the simple JavaScript database is more easy and convenient to handle the collection numbers of mice. For example, all collection number No.272701, No.272.7 and No.QQ1 use 272701 as the first number and are identified by the second numbers 0, 2 and 55 (matrix[272701][0], matrix[272701][2], matrix[272701][55]) in the database for the data storage and retrieval. This invention particularly focuses on the social activities of the computer mouse collection by the public. The traditional collections of computer mice are done by individuals privately. In this invention, the great efforts have been made on that the computer mice are collected together by the public and shown in a Web-based graphic gallery to be appreciated by people as works of art. It is an advantage of this invention that the limit of traditional collection activities is broken, and the computer mouse collection is engaged in by the public and appreciated by people as works of art. As a result, the computer mouse collection is stridden forward from the personal hobby to a public art and entertainment. It is an advantage of this invention that the computer mouse collection can be popularized as an excellent spare time interest among students, officers, workers and other crowds. People can cultivate their mind and enjoy their life in the information times by participating in the collection activities. It is an advantage of this invention that the computer mouse collection by the public attracts the attention of a large number of people and unites people in the different areas together. It is an advantage of this invention that the collection activities of the computer mouse arouse the enthusiasm of students and civilians to the computer science and information technology.
