Embodiment
The utility model provides a kind of mobile computer that can directly be carried out the windows media program by keyboard.Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram of the mobile computer keyboard of the utility model embodiment.As shown in Figure 2, this mobile computer keyboard is provided with combination function hot key 201-213, but matched combined function key 214 is pushed simultaneously to carry out the pairing windows media program function of combination function hot key 201-213, with convenient user's operation.
Basically, the control of keyboard is that (keyboard controller, KBC) chip (not shown) and firmware thereof are responsible for by so-called Keyboard Control module.Embodiment of the present utility model adopts MitsubishiM3885x Micro-controller chip and version to be v.2.13.29 firmware.The operating system system of present embodiment adopts advanced configuration and power supply interface windows system (Advance Configure and PowerInterface Windows, ACPI Windows).(basicinput output system has a keyboard matrix value table (keyboard matrixtable) (as Fig. 4 and element shown in Figure 5 40 and 50) in BIOS) for storage one customizing messages to basic input/output system in the present embodiment.This specific information content is a matrix value (Matrix Value).Keyboard Control module (not shown) has then defined 18 matrix values can convert the defined medium scan code of ACPI Windows (Media ScanCode) to, for operating system identification and the corresponding windows media program function of execution.Wherein the windows media program function of combination function hot key is included in the built-in program function that the ACPI Windows is supported.The windows media program function of carrying out the combination function hot key can be implemented in the right-hand listed various functions of left-hand line arrow among Fig. 3, as amplification of volume function 301 (Volume Up), dwindle volume functions 302 (VolumeDown), open medium and dial and put program function 303 functions such as (Open Media Player).
Fig. 3 is the employed matrix value of the utility model and the synoptic diagram of corresponding medium scan code and performed windows media program function.As shown in Figure 3, (left-hand line 305 among the figure with matrix value for Keyboard Control module (not shown), as 0C0h, 0C1h ... (right-hand column 307 among the figure 0D1h) to be converted to corresponding medium scan code, as Set1/Set2 make=(E0h, 30h)/(E0h, 32h) ... Deng), carry out corresponding windows media program function for follow-up ACPI Windows.In other words, the key player who links up between firmware and software plays the part of in Keyboard Control module (not shown) system.
Fig. 4 is the synoptic diagram of the keyboard matrix value table of routine.Matrix value table 40 is to be stored in the firmware of BIOS, can reach the effect of different control software and hardwares via the mode of setting.Lifting keyboard digital key " 1 " is example, and as shown in Figure 4, the parameter of primary importance 201 is corresponding to keyboard digital key " 1 " in the matrix value table, and its matrix value is 016h (this is by being defined according to Keyboard Control module (not shown)).When keyboard digital key " 1 " when being pressed, Keyboard Control module (not shown) can read the matrix value parameter that is positioned at primary importance 401, if this parameter is between 000h and 0BFh, then KBC can be directly be sent to operating system with the medium scan code of this parameter correspondence; This example be KBC can read 016h, directly the medium scan code with the correspondence of 016h is sent to operating system.Numerical key expression this moment " 1 " only has simple function, promptly pressing keys " 1 " after demonstrate numeral " 1 ".
Fig. 5 is the synoptic diagram of keyboard matrix value table of the present utility model.Lift keyboard digital key " 1 " again and be example, as shown in Figure 5, the parameter of primary importance 501 is corresponding to keyboard digital key " 1 " in the matrix value table 50, and its matrix value is revised as 0D0h.When keyboard digital key " 1 " by on time, Keyboard Control module KBC can read the matrix value parameter of primary importance 501, if this parameter is between 0C0h and 0FFh, then KBC can be further reads the matrix value parameter of the corresponding second place 502 and the 3rd position 503 in the Fn value table.This moment the second place 502 the system of parameters representative analog value (016h) when pushing numerical key " 1 " separately, and the analog value (0C7h) of the system of parameters of the 3rd position 503 when representing matched combined function key (Fn key) to push numerical key " 1 ".Through resetting as shown in Figure 5, numerical key this moment " 1 " has dual-use function, if when pushing separately, KBC can read 016h, the medium scan code of the correspondence of 016h is sent to operating system, promptly demonstrate numeral " 1 "; And if when cooperating the Fn key to push simultaneously, then KBC can read 0C7h, the medium scan code of the correspondence of 0C7h is sent to operating system, can carry out and open multimedia playing program (Open Media Player).It is shown in Figure 3 that corresponding between matrix value and performed windows media program function please refer to.
Aforesaid setting is set standard key with Fn key combination function as yet applicable to all, as numerical key, text button or function key.Through the utility model embodiment, the design that need not to change hardware circuit just can make mobile computer directly carry out the windows media program function by keyboard, gives the user the more facility in the multioperation.
By the above detailed description of preferred embodiments, be that hope can be known description feature of the present utility model and spirit more, and above-mentioned disclosed preferred embodiment is not the restriction to scope of the present utility model.On the contrary, the configuration of above-mentioned explanation and various change and equivalence is all the scope that the utility model is desired to be protected.Therefore, the protection domain that the utility model is applied for should be done the broadest explanation according to above-mentioned explanation, and contains change and equivalent configuration that institute might equivalence.
