Abstract

The invention a keyboard user programmable input device, including many keys for input operation; a microprocessor to receive the input of these keys; a nonvolatile memory able to be programmed by operating these keys; and a transmitting device, linked with the microprocessor to output a data out of the input device.

Description

User's input media able to programme with keyboard
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of input media of computer system, particularly relate to a kind of user's input media able to programme with keyboard.
Background technology
No matter whether the evolution of computing machine is quick, still need input media input user instruction so that the computing machine execution work.Because known input media does not need writing task state and significant data when work, and the problem that does not have data to run off behind the powered-down, so known input media does not need special memory, when computing machine is de-energized when starting shooting again, known input media still can operate as normal.For example people such as Molusis is at United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 431, and the keyboard/display unit based on microprocessor that being used to of being proposed in No. 988 disposed control instrument just belongs to this type of input media.Yet the known function that input media provided almost is in man-machine interface, and the user touches signal, and should touch signal conveys immediately and give main frame, controls purpose to reach.For example people such as Kuehneman is at United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 688, and the keyboard that reconfigures that is proposed in No. 020 just belongs to this type of input media.Reach the human interface function, known input media needs constantly to scan to detect this shake-up signal, and for example known keyboard needs constantly the scanning button, reads key assignments, suitably encodes, and sends this key set code in due course.
Another kind of known input media contains card reader, to read computer card (Smart Cards).Yet, there is no direct correlation at the data and the input media itself of computer card institute access, only as a kind of instrument of reading of data, final data still is sent to main frame to input media.For example people such as Hunter is at United States Patent (USP) the 4th, 823, but proposed in No. 311 have user's define function keys and the calculator keyboard of the interactive label of special function keys modification of program just belonged to this type of input media.Other still have many known technologies is the keyboards that are applied in computer system, also has the function that defines hot key voluntarily.But these known technologies all are the definition that realize button with software program, no matter these definition and this software program are stored in the random-access memory (ram) of keyboard or main frame, in case powered-down, keyboard is just lost these memory contentss.
Generally speaking, the known function ratio that input media had is more limited, can only be connected with particular interface, and fix by key definition and coded system, and the special software and hardware of need arranging in pairs or groups when using can't one-object-many-purposes.
Summary of the invention
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to propose a kind of user's input media able to programme with keyboard, can allow programme voluntarily button or deposit data such as password, telephone number of user.
Another object of the present invention is to propose a kind of user's input media able to programme with keyboard, and the user can order a hot key function or analog mouse and rocking bar certainly.
According to one embodiment of present invention, a kind of user's input media able to programme with keyboard comprises a plurality of buttons, for input operation; One microprocessor is to accept the input of these a plurality of buttons; One nonvolatile memory can be programmed by these a plurality of buttons of operation; And a conveyer, connect this microprocessor, to export data outside this input media.
According to the present invention, a kind of method of operating this input media comprises the shake-up signal that detects this keyboard, has a special keys in this keyboard at least; When this shake-up signal is a programming signal, deposit a particular data at this nonvolatile memory; If this shake-ups signal is a general push button signalling, then arrive outside this input media by a pair of general data that should push button signalling of this conveyer conveying; And meet a programming during push button signalling when this shake-up signal, read the particular data of the push button signalling of should programming and/or carry out the operation of this particular data correspondence from this nonvolatile memory.
