Smart Mouse System and Method of Use

Abstract

The Smart Mouse technology is a computer mouse with its own computer, memory, Software, OS, networking and GUI. The Mousetop Window GUI is the viewport into the mouse and gateway between the mouse and computer(s). The mouse becomes a computer network where data can be stored and retrieved in the mouse buffer memory, mouse memory or between connected computer(s). Software and licenses can be served from the mouse allowing the sharing of software and licenses across multiple computers in proximity or remotely located. Shared cursor switching, drag and drop data and other interactive functions are available. Profile storage in the mouse allows for multiple configurations of networking or isolating the window. Concepts like keyboard switching, biometric access, child security and numerous other novel concepts are included with this technology. Added physical features like removable memory and connectivity to other hand held technology like Iphone or Ipad provide expanded communication functionality.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A system for simultaneously merging, in a multi-computer environment, a computing environment of a first computer with a computing environment of a second computer, said first computer having a corresponding first graphical user interface, said second computer having a corresponding second graphical user interface, said first computer having a display means, comprising a system:
 wherein said second computer is portable and lacks a display means,   wherein said computing environment of said second computer further includes a computer application, and application data,   wherein said second computer communicates with said first computer and displays the graphical user interface of said second computer on the display means of said first computer within the graphical user interface of the first computer.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said second computer further includes licensed software and said first computer is configured to execute said licensed software of said second computer. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein second computer further includes licensing credentials associated with a software program wherein output of said software program is visible on said display means of said first computer and said software program is authorized by said licensing credentials on said second computer. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein second computer further includes licensing credentials associated with a software program wherein output of said software program is visible on said display means of said first computer and said software program is authorized by said licensing credentials on said second computer. 
     
     
         5 . A system for simultaneously merging, in a multi-computer environment, a computing environment of a first computer with a computing environment of a second computer, said first computer having a corresponding first graphical user interface, said second computer having a corresponding second graphical user interface, said first computer having a display means, comprising a system:
 wherein said second computer is portable and lacks a display means,   wherein second computer further includes licensing credentials associated with a software program wherein output of said software program is visible on said display means of said first computer and said software program is authorized by said licensing credentials on said second computer.   
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein said computing environment of said second computer further includes a computer application, and application data,
 wherein said second computer communicates with said first computer and displays the graphical user interface of said second computer on the display means of said first computer within the graphical user interface of the first computer.   
     
     
         7 . A system for simultaneously merging, in a multi-computer environment, a computing environment of a first computer with a computing environment of a second computer, said first computer having a corresponding first graphical user interface, said second computer having a corresponding second graphical user interface, said first computer having a display means, comprising a system:
 wherein said second computer is portable and lacks a display means,
 wherein said second computer further includes licensed software and said first computer is configured to execute said licensed software of said second computer. 
   
     
     
         8 . A system for networking in a computing environment having a first computer, a second computer, and a shared computer mouse comprising:
 wherein said first computer and said mouse have a shared bidirectional communication means,   wherein said second computer and said mouse have a shared bidirectional communication means,   wherein said mouse, said first computer, and said second computer form a computer network.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and as a participating computer of the network. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and a server of software licenses. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and a server of application programs and data. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 9  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and a server of application programs and data. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and a server of software licenses. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and a server of application programs and data. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising wherein said mouse serves as a pointing device and a server of application programs and data.
