Description

The present invention relates to a player, which is a device for playing back video, audio, etc. stored in a storage medium.

A player (operating device) is an electronic product with the function of playing video and audio files, and is one of the most widely used electronic products. Therefore, players play a very important role in our daily life, such as watching videos, listening to radio, downloading music and so on.

Players currently on the market include plastic players and paper players. Among them, plastic players are limited by the properties of plastic. For example, in the early stages of player development, it is necessary to determine the number of buttons and the distance between buttons, and in later stages, the number of buttons and the distance between buttons may be adjusted again. In such a case, there arises a problem that it is necessary to redesign the mold for manufacturing the player, which takes time and costs.

On the other hand, a paper player can better adjust the number of buttons and the distance between buttons at a later stage compared to a plastic player. However, players made of paper have the following problems: they are soft as paper, have no strength, cannot be compressed, have no water or moisture resistance, have a relatively short product life, and are unfavorable for sales promotion.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a player capable of easily adjusting the number of buttons and the distance between buttons.

A player according to the present invention includes a casing, a circuit board, a panel and at least one button. The inside of the casing is hollow, and an installation window communicating with the inside of the casing is opened. The circuit board is arranged inside the casing. The panel is removably positioned over the installation window and includes at least one mounting hole for closing the installation window. One of the buttons is positioned in one of the mounting holes and connected to the circuit board.

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily adjust the number of buttons and the distance between buttons.
