Embodiment
Its pointer of a kind of hand-hold electronic device that Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrate one embodiment of the invention respectively is accommodated in the interior synoptic diagram external with extracting basis of body.As Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 2, hand-hold electronic device 100 mainly comprises parts such as body 110, pointer 120, and wherein body 110 has storage tank 112 in order to accommodating touch-control pen 120.
In order to reach the contactless sensing to pointer 120 positions, present embodiment is more at the storage tank 112 other configuration one contactless sensors 130 of body 110, and pointer 120 has a sensing area 122 corresponding to the position of contactless sensor 130.The position of sensing area 122 can be through design, after making that pointer 120 is inserted storage tank 112, sensing area 122 can pass through contactless sensor 130, make contactless sensor 130 can sense sensing area 122 by the time variation that brings, and then export a sensing signal, and body 110 is suitable for receiving sensing signal, and carries out a preset function according to sensing signal.
More specifically, the hand-hold electronic device 100 of present embodiment can be judged the relevant position of pointer 120 and body 110 by this sensing signal.Please refer to the action synoptic diagram between the sensing area 122 of contactless sensor 130 shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B and pointer 120.As shown in Figure 3A, when the user does not use pointer 120, and when pointer 120 inserted the storage tank 112 of bodies 110, the sensing area 122 on the pointer 120 by contactless sensor 130, and produces a sensing signal S1 along direction D1.In addition, shown in Fig. 3 B, when the user will use pointer 120, and when extracting out in the storage tank 112 of pointer 120 by body 110, sensing area 122 on the pointer 120 D2 in opposite direction passes through contactless sensor 130, and produces another sensing signal S2.That is pointer 120 during by contactless sensor 130, can produce different sensing signals along different directions, therefore can distinguish the relevant position of pointer 120 and body 110 by this different sensing signal.
Do not need directly to contact between pointer 120 that it should be noted that present embodiment and the contactless sensor 130, just can reach the purpose of sensing pointer 120 positions by non-contacting magnetic force sensing mode.In addition, pointer 120 and contactless sensor 130 are separated by and just can be reached the purpose of sensing in the specific range, therefore can allow the bigger bit errors of existence between body 110 and the pointer 120, help to improve the sensing precision.
In the application of reality, present embodiment can adopt the mode of magnetic sensing to reach aforementioned contactless sensing.That is aforesaid contactless sensor 130 for example is the magnetic-resistance sensing device, and sensing area 122 for example is a magnetic area.For the sensing area 122 that forms above-mentioned pointer 120, present embodiment can dispose magnetic element on the appropriate location of pointer 120 inside.Fig. 4 is the fragmentary, perspective view of pointer 120, and wherein pointer 120 mainly has a hollow shaft 120a, and magnetic element 150 is configured in the hollow shaft 120a, to form above-mentioned sensing area 122.Magnetic element 150 has a S utmost point and a N utmost point, and the S utmost point can roughly become parallel with the length direction of pointer 120 with the line of the N utmost point, therefore in pointer 120 is contained in body 110 or when extracting outside the body 110, contactless sensor 130 just can send different sensing signals.In the present embodiment, magnetic element 150 for example is general common permanent magnet, or other have the element of identical characteristics.
In other embodiments of the invention, also can adopt other contactless sensing modes.For example, aforesaid contactless sensor can be OPTICAL SENSORS, and according to the kenel difference of OPTICAL SENSORS, the sensing area on the pointer can be photic zone, light tight district or reflective areas, to allow OPTICAL SENSORS can come the position of sensing pointer by the variation of external light source.
On the other hand, in order to improve the convenience of user when using hand-hold electronic device, the present invention can make hand-hold electronic device can automatically perform default function according to the position of pointer further combined with above-mentioned sensing mechanism to pointer location.The position of pointer usually can be along with the user mode of hand-hold electronic device is different.For example, predetermined function can be the open and close of control display screen.In addition, certain application program is also carried out or close to predetermined function.For example, when replying news in brief, turn back to pointer and then close handwriting pad or screen keyboard.When carrying out built-in recreation, turn back to pointer and then close these games.
More specifically, be example with the open and close of display screen as predetermined function, when the user will use the touch controllable function of hand-hold electronic device, pointer can be extracted in body usually.The action synoptic diagram that is illustrated with reference to Fig. 3 B, this moment, contactless sensor 130 can correspondingly be exported sensing signal S2, and body 110 can receive sensing signal S2, and the display screen on the body 110 is opened automatically according to sensing signal S2, so that the user after extracting pointer 120, can operate by the direct viewing display screen.
In addition, the action synoptic diagram with reference to Fig. 3 A is illustrated when the user does not re-use hand-hold electronic device, can turn back to pointer 120 in the body 110.At this moment, contactless sensor 130 can corresponding output sensing signal S1, and body 110 can receive sensing signal S1 the display screen on the body 110 is closed automatically.
In sum, the present invention adopts contactless sensing mode to come sensing area on the sensing pointer, and the open and close of control display screen, therefore be compared to prior art, hand-hold electronic device of the present invention has higher fiduciary level and serviceable life, and there is bigger bit errors between tolerable body and the pointer, has preferable sensing precision.In addition, if make hand-hold electronic device carry out a preset function, more can promote the convenience of user when using hand-hold electronic device in conjunction with sensing to pointer location.
Though disclosed the present invention in conjunction with above embodiment; yet it is not in order to limit the present invention; be familiar with this operator in the field under any; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; can do a little change and retouching, thus protection scope of the present invention should with enclose claim was defined is as the criterion.
