The driving motor may be a combined motor, and when the driving motor is the combined motor, the combined motor is installed on the second area.
As shown in fig. 7, the electronic device disclosed in the present invention may be a mobile terminal such as a notebook computer and an IPAD; the electronic device includes: an input device 71 mounted on the electronic device 70; wherein the input device 71 includes: a first region 711 and a second region 712;
the second area 712 is provided with N virtual keys 7121, wherein N is more than or equal to 1;
after receiving the trigger signal generated by the trigger virtual key 721, the second area 72 is switched from the first state to the second state;
the second state changes the position of the second region 72 with respect to the first region 71.
In the above-described embodiment, the input device includes the first region 711 and the second region 712, where the first region is a non-input region of the input device and the second region 712 is an input region of the input device. At least one virtual key 7121 is disposed on the second region 712, and the virtual key 7121 is used for performing an input operation.
When a user needs to perform an input operation through an input device, the virtual key 7121 in the second area 712 is triggered, and it should be noted that when the virtual key 7121 in the second area 712 is triggered, the virtual key 7121 may be directly triggered by a finger of the user, or the virtual key 7121 may be triggered by a device such as a stylus pen.
After a user performs a trigger operation on the virtual key 7121 in the second region 712, a trigger signal is generated, and after receiving the trigger signal generated by triggering the virtual key 7121, the input device controls the second region 712 to switch from the first state to the second state, where the second state is different from the first state, the second state changes the position of the second region 712 relative to the first region 711, and since the position of the second region 712 relative to the first region 711 changes, when the user operates the virtual key 7121 in the second region 712, the fingertip portion of the user can feel vibration, and the wrist placed on the first region 711 does not feel vibration, so that the user can obtain a real tactile sensation, and the experience of the user is improved.
In summary, in the above embodiments, the disclosed input device includes a first area and a second area, where the second area is provided with N virtual keys, and after receiving a trigger signal generated by triggering the virtual keys, a position of the second area relative to the first area changes, that is, the second area moves relative to the first area, so that when a user performs an input operation, only the second area serving as the input operation moves, and compared with the prior art, the user can obtain a real tactile sensation when using the input device, and user experience is improved.
It should be noted that the input device in the electronic device disclosed in the above embodiment may also be any one of embodiments 2 to 6, and details are not repeated here.
