Embodiment
Relevant technology contents of the present invention, can clearly illustrate with reference in the graphic preferred embodiment in following cooperation.
As shown in Figure 1, the input module 30 that mainly comprises a display screen 6 and a contact panel for a kind of portable electric device 5 of the present invention.The surface of the input module 30 of this contact panel includes a plurality of touch-control characters 7, in order to accept the mode input character of user with touch-control.In addition, be provided with a plurality of grooves 21 around a plurality of touch-control characters 7 of part, accept the user and utilize the mode of pushing to import.In the present embodiment, this portable electric device is to be example with a mobile phone, does not limit with this during actual enforcement, also can be other portable electric devices such as personal digital assistant or MP3 player.
As shown in Figure 2, be the cutaway view of the input module of Fig. 1.Described portable electric device 5 mainly comprises a circuit board 10, a supporting bracket 20, and a contact panel 30.
This circuit board 10 roughly is a rectangle.This circuit board 10 has a plate body 11, and a plurality of switch element 12 that is arranged on this plate body 11.This plate body 11 can be rigid or soft printed circuit board.The quantity of these switch elements 12 of present embodiment is example with two, does not limit with this during actual enforcement, also can be one or more.
This switch element 12 comprises the contact 122 of a dome-type shell fragment 121 and a correspondence.This dome-type shell fragment 121 is that conductive metal material is made, and perhaps, it is made and have a conductive layer that is formed on its inner surface also to can be macromolecule materials such as elastic caoutchouc.When nature, this shell fragment 121 does not contact with this contact 122, and when this shell fragment 121 suffers oppression, and can be out of shape downwards and contact terminal 122 electrically conducts with formation.
This supporting bracket 20 be arranged at the switch element 12 of this circuit board 10 and this contact panel 30 between, its material can be plastics or metal material.This supporting bracket 20 is formed with two and is through to the groove 21 of lower surface by its upper surface.The shape of this groove is roughly c-shaped, and the part definable that is surrounded by this groove 21 on this supporting bracket 20 goes out a elastic portion 22 that should switch element 12.
This contact panel 30 is arranged on this supporting bracket 20.Material in this supporting bracket 20 is under the situation of plastics, and this contact panel 30 can be electric resistance touch-control panel or capacitance type touch-control panel.And be under the situation of metal in the material of this supporting bracket 20 because metal can produce bigger electrical interference to capacitance type touch-control panel, thus this contact panel 30 to adopt electric resistance touch-control panels be preferable.
As shown in Figure 3, when the specific region of the contact panel 30 of finger above this switch element 12 is touched or is slided, uniform electric field in contact panel 30 surfaces is sensed the human body weak current, produces the signal of telecommunication of a correspondence, reaches and can operate this contact panel 30.
As shown in Figure 4, and when this specific region application of force pressed down, this switch element 12 can be subjected to this contact panel 30 via this elastic portion 22 towards the compressing of these circuit board 10 directions and start, to produce another corresponding signal of telecommunication.
As continue to consult Fig. 1, and the operating function of contact panel 30 can be defined as dial key, as the numeral such as 1,2 to 0 that shows among the figure, and symbols such as *, #; In addition the operating function of the switch element 12 of its below (be example with two among the figure, but quantity not being limit with this) can be defined as special function keys, as power on, the power off etc. that show among the figure.In addition, also the operating function of contact panel 30 can be defined as special function keys, the operating function of switch element 12 is defined as dial key.
In addition, more can operate this switch element 12 and this contact panel 30 respectively by the length of definition to the compressing time (long pressing or short pressing) of this specific region.For instance, as shown in Figure 5, it is the circuit block diagram with portable electric device of input module of the present invention.This switch element 12 is electrically connected with a processing unit 40 respectively with this contact panel 30, in addition, this processing unit 40 further with a display unit 50, a RF module 60, a mnemon 70, a power module 80, and one microphone/loudspeaker 90 are electrically connected.
When practical operation, cooperate shown in Figure 6ly, in step 110, this contact panel 30 and this switch element 12 of this specific region are pushed simultaneously.In step 120, this processing unit 40 of mat judges that whether compressing time length surpass a scheduled time length, makes starts wherein of this contact panel 30 and this switch element 12 and produces the signal of telecommunication of a correspondence with decision.
In the present embodiment, if compressing time surpasses this scheduled time length, then in step 130, these switch element 12 starts and the signal of telecommunication that produces a correspondence are given processing unit 40; If compressing time surpass this scheduled time during length push action remove, then in step 140, these contact panel 30 starts and the signal of telecommunication that produces a correspondence are given processing unit 40.
After this processing unit 40 is received the signal of telecommunication, with reference to figure 5, this display unit 50, this RF module 60, this mnemon 70, this power module 80 of just can conventional approaches driving, or these microphone/loudspeaker 90 produce corresponding action.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2, only have under the situation of a switch element 12 at this circuit board 10, this supporting bracket 20 also can not have groove 21 and defined elastic portion 22 thereof, only need to drive full wafer supporting bracket 20 and oppress this switch element 12, also can make this switch element 12 produce the signals of telecommunication towards these circuit board 10 directions by pressing this contact panel 30.
And though in the present embodiment, this contact panel 30 is mat supporting brackets 20 and being supported on these switch elements 12, yet during actual enforcement, also can omit this supporting bracket 20, this contact panel 30 directly is arranged on these switch elements 12, also the basic function of attainable cost invention.
In sum, the present invention is by contact panel 30 being stacked on the switch element 12 of this circuit board 10, can be on the specific region of the contact panel 30 above this switch element 12, obtain two kinds of input functions that switch element 12 and contact panel 30 are provided respectively, and have smaller volume, reach effect of the present invention really.
In sum, the present invention meets the patent of invention important document, and the whence proposes patent application in accordance with the law.Only, the above person only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and scope of the present invention is not exceeded with the foregoing description, and the personage who is familiar with this case skill such as helps the equivalence of doing according to spirit of the present invention and modifies or variation, all should be covered by in the following claim.
