복합 휴대용 무선단말기의 마우스 겸용 터치펜{TOUCH PEN SERVED AS MOUSE IN PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT}Mouse combined touch pen of composite portable wireless terminal {TOUCH PEN SERVED AS MOUSE IN PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT}

본 발명은 복합 휴대용 무선단말기의 터치 패드용 펜에 관한 것으로서, 특히 상기 단말기에 유선으로 연결되어 터치펜으로 사용됨과 동시에 메뉴버튼과 선택버튼를 구비하는 복합 휴대용 무선단말기의 마우스 겸용 터치펜(touch pen)에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a pen for a touch pad of a composite portable wireless terminal, and in particular, a mouse combined touch pen of a composite portable wireless terminal having a menu button and a selection button while being used as a touch pen by wired connection to the terminal. It is about.

근래들어, 복합 휴대용 무선단말기(일명 PDA; Personal Digital Assistant)가 점차 보급화되어감에 따라 다양한 기능과 디자인의 단말기가 등장하고 있다. 또한, 상기 단말기가 점차 소형화, 경박 단소화되어감과 동시에 그 기능의 다양성이 더욱 부각되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 상기 복합 휴대용 무선단말기는 인터넷기능이나, 문자정보, 그래픽등의 다양한 처리가 요구되고 있다.In recent years, as portable portable wireless terminals (PDAs) are increasingly popularized, terminals having various functions and designs have emerged. In addition, as the terminal becomes smaller and lighter and shorter, the variety of functions is more highlighted. Therefore, the hybrid portable radio terminal requires various processing such as Internet function, text information, graphics, and the like.

이에따라, 엘씨디 모듈인 디스플레이부(Display Unit)는 점차 넓어지게 되고, 반면에 단말기의 부피는 점차 소형화되어가야만 소비자의 욕구에 부응할 수 있기때문에 별도의 키패드가 점차 줄어들며 터치패드를 구비한 터치스크린 방식을 사용하게 된다. 또한, 제품의 특성상, 상기 터치스크린을 조작하기 위한 보조기구가 사용될 수 있다. 상기 보조기구로는 필기구 형상을 하고 있으며, 단부가 첨예한 소정의 펜을 사용할 수 있으며, 상기 터치펜은 사용자가 별도로 휴대하고 다니거나 단말기 본체의 후면상에 고정시켜 사용하게 된다.Accordingly, the display unit of the LCD module becomes wider, whereas the volume of the terminal can gradually meet the needs of the consumer only when the size of the terminal becomes smaller, so that a separate keypad is gradually reduced and the touch screen is equipped with a touch pad. Will be used. In addition, due to the characteristics of the product, an auxiliary mechanism for manipulating the touch screen may be used. The auxiliary device has a writing instrument shape, and a predetermined pen with a sharp end may be used, and the touch pen may be carried separately by the user or fixed on the rear of the terminal body.

이때, 상기 터치펜은 단순히 단말기상의 터치패드를 클릭하는 수준에 불과하며, 이메일을 읽거나 스크롤 기능을 사용할 경우에는 상기 펜을 다수번 조작하여야만 하는 불편함이 발생하게 된다.In this case, the touch pen is merely a level of clicking the touch pad on the terminal, and when reading an e-mail or using a scroll function, inconvenience of having to operate the pen a plurality of times occurs.

상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 발명의 목적은 선택버튼과 스크롤기능을 함께 구비하도록 구성되는 복합 휴대용 무선단말기의 마우스 겸용 터치펜을 을 제공하는데 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a combined mouse pen of a portable portable wireless terminal configured to include a selection button and a scroll function.

본 발명의 다른 목적은 별도의 마우스를 설치하지 않아도 마우스 기능을 원활히 사용할 수 있도록 구성되는 복합 휴대용 무선단말기의 마우스 겸용 터치펜을 제공하는데 있다.Another object of the present invention is to provide a combined mouse touch pen of the portable portable wireless terminal which is configured to use the mouse function smoothly without installing a separate mouse.

상기와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 발명은 터치 패드를 구비한 복합 휴대용 무선단말기에 있어서, 상기 단말기와 유선으로 연결되며 단부가 첨예하도록 형성되는 펜형 터치수단과, 상기 펜형 터치 수단의 몸체상에 구비되는 소정의 선택버튼 겸용 스크롤수단과, 상기 선택버튼의 일측에 설치되는 메뉴버튼으로 구성됨을 특징으로 한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a composite portable wireless terminal having a touch pad, the pen-type touch means which is connected to the terminal by a wire and is sharply formed at the end, and provided on the body of the pen-type touch means. It is characterized by consisting of a predetermined selection button combined scroll means, and a menu button installed on one side of the selection button.

이하 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다. 그리고, 본 발명의 요지를 불필요하게 흐릴 수 있다고 판단되는 경우 그 상세한 설명을 생략한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case where it is determined that the gist of the present invention may be unnecessarily obscured, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

본 발명에 의한 터치펜은 펜의 몸체상에 구성함으로써, 펜을 잡은 손가락을 조작하여 기존의 마우스 기능을 모두 구현할 수 있도록 하였다.Touch pen according to the present invention is configured on the body of the pen, it is possible to implement all the existing mouse functions by operating the finger holding the pen.

도 1은 본 발명의 바람직한 일실시예에 따른 터치펜이 장착된 복합 휴대용 무선단말기를 도시한 도면으로써, 소정의 터치패드(110)를 구비한 복합 휴대용 무선단말기(100)에는 유선(111)으로 상기 터치패드(110)를 터치하기 위한 터치펜(10)이 연결된다. 상기 터치펜(10)은 일정길이의 몸체(11)를 구비한 펜형으로 형성되어 있으며, 그 단부(12)는 상기 터치패드(110)를 터치하기 용이하도록 첨예하게 형성된다.1 is a diagram illustrating a composite portable wireless terminal equipped with a touch pen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein the composite portable wireless terminal 100 having a predetermined touch pad 110 is wired 111. The touch pen 10 for touching the touch pad 110 is connected. The touch pen 10 is formed in a pen shape having a body 11 of a predetermined length, and an end portion 12 of the touch pen 10 is sharply formed so as to easily touch the touch pad 110.

그후, 상기 터치펜(12)의 몸체(11) 적소에는 소정의 트랙볼 장치(20)가 설치된다. 상기 트랙볼 장치(20)는 스크롤 기능을 할 뿐만 아니라, 상기 터치패드의 스크린의 커서를 원하는 곳으로 스크롤한후 선택할 수 있는 선택버튼 역할까지 수행하도록 구성된다. 상기 트랙볼 장치(20)는 사용자가 상기 터치펜(10)을 잡았을때 검지손가락으로 조작하기 용이한 위치에 설치된다.Thereafter, a predetermined track ball device 20 is installed in place of the body 11 of the touch pen 12. The trackball device 20 is configured to not only serve as a scroll function but also serve as a selection button for scrolling a cursor on a screen of the touch pad to a desired place. The trackball device 20 is installed at a position that is easy to operate with the index finger when the user grabs the touch pen 10.

또한, 상기 트랙볼 장치(20)의 일측에는 마우스의 오른쪽 버튼과 같은 기능을 하는 메뉴버튼(30)을 설치하므로써, 스크롤 휠을 구비한 마우스와 같은 기능을 수행하게 된다. 바람직하게, 상기 메뉴버튼(30)은 사용자가 엄지손가락으로 조작이 가능한 위치에 설치된다.In addition, by installing a menu button 30 that functions as a right button of a mouse on one side of the trackball device 20, it performs the same function as a mouse having a scroll wheel. Preferably, the menu button 30 is installed in a position where the user can operate with the thumb.

도 2는 본 발명의 바람직한 일실시예에 따른 터치펜의 트랙볼 장치의 구성을 부분적으로 도시한 도면으로써, 상기 트랙볼 장치(20)는 몸체(11)상에 이탈하지 못하며 회전가능하도록 트랙볼(21)을 위치시킨후, 그 하측상에는 일정 직경을 갖는 스프링(22)에 의해 탄지되도록 설치한다. 그후, 상기 스프링(22)의 직경보다 작도록 형성된 선택스위치(23)를 상기 스프링(22)의 내부에 삽입 설치한다. 이때, 상기 트랙볼(21)의 외주면과 각각 접하도록 직각 상기 트랙볼(21)의 중심에 대하여 직각방향으로 소정의 위치센서(24)를 설치한다. 이때, 상기 위치센서(24) 대신 트랙볼 이동 감지용 롤을 설치할 수도 있다. 상기 위치센서(24)나 이동 감지용 롤은 사용자가 상기 트랙볼(21)을 회전시켰을 경우 커서를 이동시키는 역할을 하게된다. 그후, 사용자가 상기 트랙볼(21)을 하측으로 누르게 되면, 상기 트랙볼(21)의 하측은 상기 선택스위치(23)를 스위칭시키므로써 선택동작을 수행하게 된다.2 is a view partially showing a configuration of a trackball device of a touch pen according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein the trackball device 20 is not detachable on the body 11 and is rotatable. After the position, it is installed so as to be supported by the spring 22 having a certain diameter on the lower side. Thereafter, the selection switch 23 formed to be smaller than the diameter of the spring 22 is inserted into the spring 22. At this time, a predetermined position sensor 24 is installed in a direction perpendicular to the center of the track ball 21 to be in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the track ball 21, respectively. At this time, instead of the position sensor 24, a track ball movement detection roll may be installed. The position sensor 24 or the movement detecting roll serves to move the cursor when the user rotates the track ball 21. Thereafter, when the user presses the track ball 21 downward, the lower side of the track ball 21 performs the selection operation by switching the selection switch 23.

한편, 상기 트랙볼 장치 대신 조그 다이얼을 사용하여 마우스의 스크롤 기능과 선택기능을 수행할 수도 있다.Meanwhile, the jog dial may be used instead of the trackball device to perform scrolling and selecting functions of the mouse.

상술한 바와 같이 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 복합 휴대용 무선단말기의 마우스 겸용 터치펜은 별도의 마우스를 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 효율적인 단말기 조작이 가능해지는 효과가 있다.As described above, since the mouse combined touch pen of the complex portable wireless terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention does not require a separate mouse, efficient terminal manipulation is possible.
