Description

The present invention relates to a product with an electronic device such as a leather product or a textile product provided with the electronic device.
Regarding

  BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a keyboard has been used as an input device for inputting information such as characters to an information processing device such as a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as PC). A mouse is generally used as an input device for inputting a coordinate position of a cursor or the like on a display of an information processing device such as a PC.

  A mouse pad is used to improve the operability of the mouse. Some mouse pads have a function other than the mouse pad, such as a ten-key unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to this mouse pad with a numeric keypad, it is not necessary to carry the mouse pad and the numeric keypad unit separately, and space saving can be achieved as compared with the case where these are individually placed on the desk. With such a multifunctional mouse pad, the operability is improved when using a small portable information processing device such as a notebook PC at the place of going out such as a cafe.

  By the way, mouse pads of various materials and designs are sold. For example, a leather mouse pad (see, for example, Patent Document 2 [0022]) is excellent in designability because it adds a high-class material, is lightweight, and can be rolled up and carried, and thus has excellent portability. .. If such a mouse pad made of leather is provided with a numeric keypad, a calculator, etc., it is possible to realize a mouse pad having high designability and multifunction.

  For example, among mouse pads made of genuine leather, there is one in which two pieces of leather are superposed so that the front side is the outer side, and stitches are also performed at the edges for a decoration. To provide a numeric keypad on such a mouse pad, an opening is provided in the front leather of the two leathers, and the input key portion is exposed from the opening so that the housing is placed between the two leathers. It is possible to arrange it.

  In the above case, since the whole of the numeric keypad including the casing is arranged between the two leathers, the circuit board and the like in the casing are not exposed to the outside, and the design of the leather mouse pad can be maintained. However, in this case, since the mouse pad made of leather is simply used as a cover for the external numeric keypad, the configuration of the external numeric keypad cannot be simplified, and the thickness and weight of the external numeric keypad housing cannot be reduced. The thickness and weight of the mouse pad are increased accordingly, and the portability of the leather mouse pad is reduced. On the other hand, it is conceivable to enlarge the housing of an electronic device such as a numeric keypad to a size that allows mouse operation, and attach leather to the surface of the housing. Since the housing of an electronic device is often made of plastic, in this case, there is a possibility that the high-class feeling and design of the material may be deteriorated.

The circuit element and the second circuit element are electrically connected.

  In the product with an electronic device according to the present invention, the base material is provided with a plurality of through holes along a predetermined line connecting the first circuit element and the second circuit element, and the covered electric wire is the through hole. It is preferable that the first circuit element and the second circuit element are electrically connected while forming the stitch pattern by being inserted into.

  In the product with an electronic device according to the present invention, the first circuit element has a function as a power supply unit for supplying power to the second circuit element, and the second circuit element is the first circuit element. It is preferable to receive power supply from.

  In the electronic device-equipped product according to the present invention, the first circuit element has a function as a connecting portion that is connected to an external device and transmits / receives a signal between the external device and the second circuit element. Is also preferable.

  In the product with an electronic device according to the present invention, it is preferable that the covered electric wire has elasticity.

  According to the present invention, when the first circuit element and the second circuit element, which are the components of the electronic circuit, are provided in the leather product or the textile product, the leather product body or the leather product body is not mounted on the conventionally used substrate. The textile body is used as a substrate. At the same time, the leather product body or the textile product body can be used as a housing for housing the first circuit element and the second circuit element. Further, a stitch pattern for decorating the leather product or the textile product is formed by the covered electric wire whose surface is covered with the insulating material. Therefore, the operating circuit can be realized by electrically connecting the first circuit element and the second circuit element while using the covered electric wire as the suturing member and the decorative member.

  From these things, when installing electronic devices in leather products and textile products, it is possible to reduce unnecessary parts and reduce weight, and to provide products with electronic devices with high designability without impairing the texture. You can

  The connection cable unit 14 is connected to the external device connection main body unit 13 and includes a USB connection terminal 14a connected to the external device 100 and a connection cable 14b connected to the USB connection terminal 14a. The USB connection terminal 14 a and the connection cable 14 b are arranged outside the mouse pad body 11.

  The USB connection terminal 14a and the connection cable 14b have a terminal for receiving a power supply voltage from the external device 100, a power supply voltage cable, and a terminal (not shown) capable of exchanging data (signal) with the external device 100 and a data cable. (Not shown). By connecting to the external device 100 such as a notebook PC by the connection cable portion 14, power is supplied to the ten-key portion 15 by bus power and signals are transmitted and received.

  The external device connecting section 12 is the first circuit element according to the present invention, and functions as the connecting section and the power supply section according to the present invention (see FIG. 1B).

  The ten-key unit 15 is for performing four arithmetic operations such as "+", "-", "/", and "*" in addition to the numeric keys for inputting numbers from "0" to "9" to the external device 100. Various functional input keys such as input keys, and a signal output unit for outputting the pressed signal as data to the external device 100 when the input keys are pressed are provided as a functional configuration. The numeric keypad section 15 is the second circuit element referred to in the present invention.

  The input key portion 15a of the numeric keypad portion 15 is provided on the mouse pad main body 11 so that the respective input keys project outward from the opening formed in the first leather 11a forming the front surface of the numeric keypad mouse pad 10. Will be placed. The part of the ten-key part 15 other than the input key part 15a is arranged between the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b so as not to be exposed to the outside. In the present embodiment, the numeric keypad portion 15 is arranged on the lower right side of the mouse pad body 11.

  In the present embodiment, the covered electric wire 16 is used as a suture thread for sewing the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b and forming the stitch pattern 16a. The covered electric wire 16 is a wire whose surface is covered with an insulating material, and preferably has stretchability and flexibility. As the covered electric wire 16 having such elasticity and flexibility, for example, an electric wire whose surface is covered with a resin having flexibility and flexibility such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or silicon (for example, Koyanagi Co., Ltd.) An ultrafine lead wire AWG36 (2706) manufactured by Idemitsu Shokai, a flexible silicon cord (RSCB 0.1 sq), or the like can be used. These coated electric wires 16 are colored with an insulating material that covers the surface, and a desired color such as red, blue, green, yellow, black, or white can be selected. Therefore, by selecting a desired color according to the color of the mouse pad main body 11, the mouse pad 10 with a numeric keypad excellent in design can be obtained. Further, since both the insulating material and the electric wire have flexibility, they can be suitably used as a suture thread for stitching the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b and a thread for stitching.

  In the mouse pad 10 with a numeric keypad of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, an external device connecting portion 12 as a first circuit element, and a numeric keypad portion 15 as a second circuit element. Is mounted on the mouse pad main body 11 as a base material, electrically connected by the covered electric wire 16 as the suture thread, and the ten-key portion 15 is supplied with power via the external device connecting portion 12 and input from the ten-key portion 15. The pressed signal of the predetermined input key is input to the external device 100 via the external device connection unit 12.

  Next, a method for manufacturing the mouse pad 10 with the numeric keypad will be described. The mouse pad 10 with a numeric keypad can be manufactured in substantially the same manner as when manufacturing a mouse pad made of genuine leather. First, through holes for passing the covered electric wire 16 are formed at predetermined intervals in the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b (see FIG. 2 (a)) with a diamond stitch. At this time, the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b are sewn together, and the through hole is formed along a predetermined line so as to form a path for electrically connecting the external device connecting portion 12 and the numeric keypad portion 15. Form a plurality. Further, an opening for fitting the input key of the ten-key part 15 is formed at a predetermined position of the first leather 11a.

  Next, the external device connection body 13 and the numeric keypad 15 of the external device connection 12 are arranged at predetermined positions on the second leather 11b and fixed to the second leather 11b with an adhesive or the like (FIG. 2 (b )reference). Next, the first leather 11a is overlapped so as to cover the external device connecting portion 12 and the numeric keypad portion 15, and the input key is fitted into the opening of the first leather 11a, so that the input key portion 15a projects to the front side of the first leather 11a. Arrange to do. Next, the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b are sewn together with the covered electric wire 16 to form the stitch pattern 16a on the edge of the mouse pad body 11 while electrically connecting the external device connecting portion 12 and the numeric keypad portion 15. Connecting.

  The stitching method for stitching the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b can be the same as in ordinary leather work. For example, in the case of plain stitching, a sewing needle is passed through one end and the other end of one covered electric wire 16 and is inserted into one through hole so that the length of the covered electric wire 16 is outside the first leather 11a. And about the same on the outside of the second leather 11b. Then, with respect to the surface on the first leather 11a side, a needle is passed through the through hole adjacent to the one through hole from the outer surface of the first leather 11a toward the second leather 11b. With respect to the surface on the second leather 11b side, a needle is passed through the through hole next to the one through hole from the outer surface of the second leather 11b toward the first leather 11a. Then, the covered electric wire 16 passed through the second leather 11b side and the covered electric wire 16 passed through the first leather 11a side are crossed by a predetermined method, and the covered electric wire 16 is pulled and the stitches are adjusted. In this way, the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b are sewn from the outside of the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b, respectively, so that the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b can be sewn together and the stitch pattern 16a can be formed. ..

  The mouse pad 10 with a numeric keypad according to the first embodiment can be manufactured by the above procedure. According to the mouse pad with a numeric keypad 10 of the first embodiment, when the mouse pad with a numeric keypad is provided to realize the mouse pad with a numeric keypad 10, the first leather 11a constituting the mouse pad main body 11 made of genuine leather is formed. The second leather 11b can be used as a base material for mounting the first circuit element (external device connecting portion 12) and the second circuit element (numeric keypad portion 15), and can also be used as a housing for the external numeric keypad. Therefore, it is possible to reduce unnecessary weight by reducing unnecessary members such as a board and a housing. By reducing the number of members made of plastic or the like such as the base material and the housing, it is possible to maintain the flexibility of parts other than the external device connection main body part 13 and the numeric keypad part 15, and roll the mouse pad 10 with the numeric keypad. It can be stored.

  Here, for example, a mouse pad 20 made of genuine leather shown on the left side in FIG. 2B is simply provided with an external numeric keypad 30, and a mouse pad 40 with a numeric keypad shown on the right side in FIG. 2B is provided. Think about when you get. In this case, an opening is provided in the first leather 21a, which is the front side surface of the mouse pad body 21 shown in FIG. 2B, and the numeric keypad body portion 31 is exposed from this opening, so that the external numeric keypad 30 is attached. It is conceivable that the entire body including the housing is embedded in the mouse pad body 11. In this case, since the mouse pad main body 21 is simply used as a cover for covering the numeric keypad main body portion 31 of the external numeric keypad 30, the configuration of the external numeric keypad 30 cannot be simplified, and the thickness and weight of the housing can be reduced. The thickness and weight of the mouse pad 40 with a numeric keypad are increased by that much. Therefore, the portability of the mouse pad 40 with the numeric keypad is reduced.

  In addition, a right-handed user arranges the mouse pad 40 with a numeric keypad on the right side of the external device 100 such as a notebook PC to improve workability. At this time, it is preferable that the position of the ten-key pad main body portion 31 is arranged on the right side of the ten-key mouse pad 40. This is because it is preferable that the work space of the mouse 200 is closer to the external device 100. In the mouse pad 40 with a numeric keypad shown in FIG. 2B, in order to shorten the length of the cable 32 accommodated in the mouse pad body 21, the numeric keypad body portion 31 needs to be arranged on the upper right side of the mouse pad body 21. There is. In this case, the distance from the cable connection portion of the numeric keypad main body 31 to the external device 100 becomes long, so that it is necessary to lengthen the cable. The mounting position of the cable 32 with respect to the numeric keypad body portion 31 is not limited to the position shown in FIG. However, when the numeric keypad main body portion 31 is arranged on the right side of the mouse pad main body 21 for a right-handed user, no matter where the cable 32 is provided on the numeric keypad main body portion 31, the cable 32 housed in the mouse pad main body 21 is provided. In order to reduce the length of the cable, the distance from the cable connection portion of the numeric keypad body portion 31 to the external device 100 becomes long, so that it becomes necessary to lengthen the cable length.

  On the other hand, in the mouse pad with a numeric keypad 10 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the numeric keypad portion 15 is arranged at the lower right side of the mouse pad body 11 and the external device connecting portion 12 is provided. By arranging the external device connection main body 13 on the upper left side of the mouse pad main body 11, the numeric keypad 15 is arranged at a position (user right-handed) that is easy for the user to use, and the connection cable 14 is separated from the numeric keypad 15. With this arrangement, the distance between the external device 100 and the external device connection body 13 can be shortened, and the connection cable 14b can be shortened. Further, by configuring the external device connecting portion 12 and the ten-key portion 15 as separate bodies, it becomes easier to make the whole thinner as compared with the case where the external device connecting portion 12 and the ten-key portion 15 are integrally configured. The increase in the thickness of the mouse pad body 11 can be suppressed. The same applies to the mouse pad 10 with a numeric keypad for a left-handed user.

  On the other hand, if the external device connecting portion 12 and the ten-key portion 15 are arranged apart from each other, it is necessary to electrically connect them. In the present embodiment, these circuit elements are not mounted on the printed wiring board, but the mouse pad main body 11 is used as a base material and these are electrically connected by the covered electric wire 16, and the first leather 11a and the second leather are connected. 11b is sewn together, and the seam is also used as a stitch pattern 16a for decorating the mouse pad body 11. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a suture thread for sewing the first leather 11a and the second leather 11b, or a printed wiring board or the like for wiring the external device connecting portion 12 and the numeric keypad portion 15. Therefore, the number of members can be reduced also from these points, and the weight of the mouse pad 10 with the numeric keypad can be reduced. Further, since the covered electric wire 16 has various colors, the mouse pad 10 with a numeric keypad having a high design can be obtained by selecting the color of the covered electric wire 16 according to the color of the mouse pad body 11.

  According to the mouse pad 10 with the numeric keypad of the first embodiment described above, unnecessary members such as a housing and a substrate can be reduced to reduce the weight, and the designability can be achieved without impairing the texture of the genuine leather. It is possible to obtain the mouse pad 10 with a high numeric keypad.
