Please referring to Fig. 3, be the synoptic diagram of the folded state of this keyboard.Keyboard described in the figure is folded into three foldings.This is because the keyboard face of this keyboard is a plane, and adopts frivolous flexible foldable material to make.This flexible material can fold curling, so that carry.Therefore, this kind keyboard has the unrivaled convenience of common keyboard.
Fig. 4 illustrates the keyboard face of this keyboard and forms structure.
This illustrates, and the keyboard face of this keyboard comprises three layers, is respectively from bottom to up: first circuit layer 1, separation layer 2, second circuit layer 3.Above-mentioned three layers closely fit together.
Please referring to Fig. 5, this illustrates the arrangement of conductors synoptic diagram of first circuit layer 1.The processing unit 4 that is positioned at keyboard face one end also is shown among the figure.This illustrates the lead that described first circuit layer, 1 surface arrangement has densely covered horizontal parallel distribution, and for reaching sensing effect preferably, rule separated by a distance is furnished with the relatively large node of some areas 5 on lead.The lead of this horizontal parallel distribution can be used to detect the lengthwise position that is pressed a little.
Please referring to Fig. 6, this illustrates described second circuit laminar surface and is furnished with the lead that densely covered parallel longitudinal distributes, and for reaching sensing effect preferably, rule is furnished with the bigger node of some areas 6 on lead.Described node 6 is quantitatively identical with the node 5 of first circuit layer, overlapping one by one correspondence on the locus.Above-mentioned lead all is connected in the described processing unit 4.The lead that should vertically distribute can detect the lateral attitude that is pressed a little.
The layout of lead also can be that first circuit layer 1 is arranged the lead that parallel longitudinal distributes in above-mentioned first circuit layer 1 and the second circuit layer 3, simultaneously, second circuit layer 3 is arranged the lead of horizontal parallel distribution, and this moment, first circuit layer 1 was also opposite with the implication that second circuit layer 3 detects the positional information that obtains.
Please continue referring to Fig. 4.Shown in the figure, between described first circuit layer 1 and second circuit layer 3, has separation layer 2.This separation layer 2 is a kind of insulation film, and has through hole in the position corresponding with node 5, node 6 on described first circuit layer 1 and the second circuit layer 2.
Described first circuit layer 1, separation layer 2 and second circuit layer 3 all use frivolous flexible material to make, and fit tightly between three layers.
When described keyboard face is in free state, since the effect of separation layer 2, the lead mutually insulated on first circuit layer 1 and the second circuit layer 2.
When described keyboard face was pressed, owing to have through hole on the separation layer 2, under the effect of pressure, the node 5 of first circuit layer 1 of this position contacted and conducting by the through hole of separation layer 2 in this position with the node 6 of corresponding second circuit layer 3.Detect the change of above-mentioned electricity condition, can obtain that the keyboard face is pressed and the information of pressing position.
Below in conjunction with the introduction of processing unit 4, illustrate that above-mentioned keyboard face is pressed and how detected the information of pressing position is.
Please referring to Fig. 7, this illustrates the composition frame chart of described processing unit.
Described processing unit 4 has scanning element 41, detecting unit 42, signal synthesis unit 43, decoding unit 44.
The scanning element 41 generation+12V voltages of described processing unit 4 are as sweep signal, and the lead that circulates successively to the horizontal parallel distribution of described first circuit layer 1 provides this+12V voltage.Scanning element 41 offers scanning mode information described signal synthesis unit 43 simultaneously, and described scanning mode information comprises the wire size information of leading of the lead that is scanning.
Described detecting unit 42 is when described scanning element 41 scans, whether the lead that detects the parallel longitudinal distribution of second circuit layer 3 has+output of 12V detection signal voltage, if detecting certain root lead has+output of 12V voltage, can judge that then the keyboard face is pressed.This detecting unit 42 obtains the wire size of leading of described output+12V voltage and also exports.
Described signal synthesis unit 43 receives the wire size information of leading that is scanning that described scanning element 41 provides, and the wire size information of leading of detecting of providing of described detecting unit 42+12V voltage output, comprehensive above-mentioned information is determined current pressing position, and and then determines concrete button according to pressing position.
For example the 5th lead when described scanning element 41 scannings first circuit layer 1 be added with+during 12V voltage, simultaneously, the 9th lead that described detecting unit 42 detects second circuit layer 3 have+output of 12V voltage, and then show in the common node position of the 9th lead of the 5th lead of first circuit layer 1 and second circuit layer 3 and pushed.Described signal synthesis unit 43 is according to above-mentioned information, determine the intersection point place of pressing position at the 9th lead of the 5th lead of first circuit layer 1 and second circuit layer 3, therefore, described pressing position is determined, and according to this pressing position and then definite corresponding key.Because the position of a certain button is not corresponding one by one with the crossover node of described lead, but corresponding each button has a plurality of crossover nodes, therefore, must further determine corresponding key according to the described pressing position of determining by the lead node, the button that should determine only is certain button on the physical significance, does not represent any input information.
Described decoding unit 44 receives the button that described signal synthesis unit 43 is determined, and this button is converted to the code value output of ASCII character or other form of corresponding key value.The information of each button representative of this keyboard is that key value can be passed through software set according to the demand of oneself by the user, decoding unit 44 is determined key value according to described definite button, then this key value is converted into corresponding ASCII character output, so that digital device receives.Certainly, this key value can also be with the output of the coding form beyond the ASCII character.
Because the wire arrangements of above-mentioned parallel distribution is very close, therefore, the positional precision that can detect is far above the needs of the position of determining some buttons, for example the position of button " A " may be distributed with 8 nodes, as long as wherein any one is detected the state that is pressed, can determine the button that is pressed, and and then determine that according to this button key value is " A ".When detecting some adjacent nodes simultaneously and be pressed, then determine the button that is pressed according to the node that mediates.The keyboard face information of being pressed that described processing unit receives shows that this is pressed the position when the joint portion of several buttons, then as insignificant signal Processing.
By said process, described processing unit 4 is according to the information of pushing of button face, and the ASCII character value that obtains determining outputs to the digital device main frame by output cable or with wireless mode.
The method that above-mentioned employing detects the lead break-make only is a kind of scheme that realizes the pressing position detection of keyboard face.Can also adopt the detection of other method realization to keyboard face pressing position.For example adopt the method for capacitance detecting.At this moment, the battery lead plate that in first circuit layer 1 and second circuit layer 3, gathers, simultaneously, separation layer 2 is paper medium or other suitable capacitor dielectric.The influence that before and after utilization is pushed capacitor's capacity is changed detects pressing position.
Except that above detection method, can also adopt the detection of other detection method realization to pressing position, various detection methods all can obtain enlightenment from prior art.
The front reverse side of keyboard face may be used to realize input among the present invention.
In order to protect foregoing circuit layer and separation layer, can be at the special protective layer of described keyboard face outer setting.
Can there be several different methods to determine each button and corresponding key value on the keyboard face.For example, position and the key value thereof that can represent each button at the keyboard face with plotting mode.
But, in order to provide easy-to-use to greatest extent, be example in the key layout mode that adopts universal keyboard, can adopt following method to determine button and key value thereof on the keyboard face.When the user as shown in Figure 1, during with the described keyboard faces of ten finger presses surface, processing unit obtains the position at each finger place, and according to this position initialization keyboard position.For example, the position of described ten fingers is defined as corresponding to " ASDFJKL: " and space, button according to common keyboard distributes in conjunction with the occupied situations such as node number of finger presses area then, calculate the relative position of other button, finally determine each position corresponding key, and determine the key value of each button according to the key layout mode of common keyboard.This kind scheme makes the user when using keyboard, can keep using the use habit of common keyboard, and suitable convenience is arranged again simultaneously.Compare with common key-press,, determine the area of each button according to the natural situations such as thickness of finger, so use more comfortable owing to can determine initial key position according to the natural torsion of staff.
As not using said method, also special switch can be set, the user can be switched between keyboard input state and keyboard position init state by this switch; When being in the keyboard position init state, processing unit receives the sensitive information of ten fingers, as the button locating information; When being in described keyboard input state, then normally accept the keyboard input.
