Disclosure of Invention
In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to address the above problems and provide a multiplexing function for a keyboard and a touch pad.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a keyboard, comprising a key array, a touch receiving unit and a controller unit, wherein the key array is composed of a plurality of keys, a touch area is formed by a part of the keys in the key array, the touch receiving unit is arranged in the touch area, the touch receiving unit collects a mobile touch signal, and the controller unit converts the mobile touch signal into a continuous cursor control signal through mapping data processing.
Preferably, the touch receiving unit includes a sensor array composed of a plurality of sensors, and the sensors are connected to the controller unit through a transmission line.
Preferably, the touch area includes one key or a plurality of adjacent keys.
Preferably, the position of the touch area is adjustable.
Preferably, the touch area has identification.
Preferably, the sensor is arranged between adjacent keys.
Preferably, the sensor is arranged below the key.
Preferably, the sensor establishes a coordinate system on a key cap of a corresponding key, and generates cursor control signals (X ', Y') in a new coordinate system through data processing on the moving touch signals (X, Y) collected on the key cap of the key, and in the touch area, all the cursor control signals jointly form a continuous cursor control signal to simulate the realization of a touch pad function.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a personal electronic device comprising a keyboard as described above.
Preferably, the mobile terminal comprises any one of a notebook computer, a desktop computer and a multimedia all-in-one machine.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the addition of the surface functions of the notebook is improved, after the scheme is used, the multifunctional performance of the keyboard can be increased firstly, and the position of the original touch pad can be used for designing more excellent functions of the notebook; the cost is saved, and after the scheme is used, the cost of the touch pad is greatly reduced due to the fact that the touch pad is reused with a keyboard.
Drawings
FIG. 1 is a first embodiment of a keyboard according to the present invention;
fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of the keyboard according to the invention.
Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention is provided to enable those skilled in the art to more readily understand the advantages and features of the present invention, and to clearly and unequivocally define the scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a first embodiment of a keyboard according to the present invention, which can be widely applied to various personal electronic devices that require a keyboard input device, such as any one of a notebook computer, a desktop computer, and a multimedia all-in-one machine, and in this device, especially for the notebook computer, the application value is higher and the technical effect is better.
The keyboard comprises a key array 1, a touch receiving unit 2 and a controller unit 3, wherein the key array 1 is composed of a plurality of keys, part of the keys in the key array 1 form a touch area 5, the touch receiving unit 2 is arranged in the touch area 5, the touch receiving unit 2 comprises an inductor array 4 composed of a plurality of inductors, each inductor is arranged between adjacent keys, the inductors are connected with the controller unit 3 through a transmission line 6, the touch receiving unit 2 collects moving touch signals of fingers or a touch pen, and the controller unit 3 converts the moving touch signals into continuous cursor control signals through mapping data processing.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a second embodiment of the keyboard according to the present invention, in this implementation, the touch area 5 is composed of 8 adjacent keys in total, 4 × 2 on the keyboard area, and it should be noted that the touch area 5 preferably has a marking property, which is convenient for a user to identify, for example, by spraying. In addition, the touch area 5 can be adjusted according to user definition, and the user can adjust the area to any position in the whole keyboard according to the preference and comfort of the user, in both cases, the keyboard preferably adopts a backlight keyboard, and the adjusted area adopts backlight colors different from keys in other areas.
In this embodiment, the sensor is disposed below the key. The sensor establishes a coordinate system on the keycap of the corresponding key respectively, generates cursor control signals (X ', Y') in a new coordinate system through data processing, and generates continuous cursor control signals (X ', Y') in the touch area by all the cursor control signals together, namely, the function of realizing data acquisition of the current touch pad is simulated. After this scheme of use, at first can increase the multifunctionality of keyboard, the position of touch pad can be used for designing the more outstanding function of notebook originally, because the multiplexing of touch pad realization and keyboard, so the cost of touch pad will great reduction.
In an alternative of the present invention, the touch area 5 may even include only one key, and the function that can be controlled by one key can be realized by adjusting the mapping relationship between the cursor control signal (X ', Y') and the control cursor moving distance.
In an alternative scheme of the invention, the notebook computer can be simultaneously provided with the keyboard and the touch pad, and a user can switch the keyboard and the touch pad through a touch pad switch, so that the keyboard and the touch pad can be conveniently input, meanwhile, the operation of mistakenly touching the touch pad in the typing process is avoided, and the efficiency is improved.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto but may be implemented by those skilled in the art, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention are included in the scope of the present invention.
