Ultra-low-power ring-based wireless tinymouse
summary
picoRing mouse implements semi-passive inductive telemetry: a small ring coil with distributed capacitors encodes thumb/index inputs via an MCU-driven resonance shift and a 449 µW modulation, captured by a wristband coil over ~13 mm. The prototype uses a multi-function trackball (8 directions + press), active/standby modes (≈99 µA active, near-zero standby), and a 27 mAh battery to reach roughly 600 hours (8 hr/day) to 1000 hours (4 hr/day) of practical use; SNR holds up on train, car, and crowded places.
