Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer keyboard having a telephone function, and it is possible to set a few combined keys on a numeric keyboard of a commonly used computer keyboard and to design a function key for a telephone function so that both the computer and the telephone function can be used. The use of computers and phones in homes and businesses is essential, but they are not only independent of each other but difficult to use at the same time, and take up a lot of space on the desk. To compensate for this, a small phone using an ear microphone is commercially available, and a mouse phone that combines a phone function with a mouse has been commercialized. However, these products have a problem that the price increases due to the integration of internal circuits due to the miniaturization of the phone. In order to solve these problems, the present invention is designed to reduce the cost profitability by utilizing the number keyboard of the existing computer keyboard and to save space. Hook buttons (1) and switch buttons (2) were devised to switch between computer and telephone functions. This design allows computers or phones to be used simultaneously or independently. We also set up a combined key for the buttons the phone needs to be in phone function. Status indicator LEDs (3) are designed to make it easy to see the status of each function. In addition, the ring tone output speaker (4) was attached to output the ring tone. The keyboard connection line 6 and the telephone connection line 7 are coupled to one inside of the cable so as to be separated and connected to a certain length. The connection jack 8 is designed in the middle of the telephone connection line 7 according to the type of telephone connection jack. On the side of the keyboard, the incoming volume control switch 10 and the handset control switch 11 were attached, and the ear microphone connection part 12 was designed to make a call using the ear microphone 13.

Since the phone function is combined with the existing computer keyboard, it is possible to lower the cost profitability and to use the phone and the computer functions conveniently, and to save space on the desk.

Description

Computer keyboard with phone function {Computer keyboard capabale of telephone function}

The present invention relates to a computer keyboard having a telephone function. Specifically, the present invention solves a problem of space shortage caused by placing a computer and a telephone on a limited desk space in a home or a company, and makes it possible to use a telephone while working with a computer. The purpose is to.

If you live at home or at work, using computers and phones is essential. In many cases, you have to answer a phone while working on a computer while busy or at work. Regular landline phones are not only difficult to use while working on a computer, but they are also large enough to free up space when placed on a desk like a computer. Recently, in view of this, very small phones and phones using ear microphones have been introduced. However, such a telephone is inconvenient to press a button because of its small size, and the price is expensive due to the integration of internal circuits due to the miniaturization, which is a burden on the consumer. There are also products on the market that combine mouse and phone. Although the design and purpose are similar, there are various disadvantages such as the price increase due to the need to place the circuit in the small space of the mouse, the point where the button is located in the place where the palm touches, and the inconvenience of using the ear microphone on the moving mouse. Inherent.

To solve the space problem and the difficulty of simultaneous use in using the computer and the telephone, and to devise a computer keyboard with the telephone function that can use the keyboard and the telephone simultaneously at a low cost by making full use of the numeric keyboard of the general keyboard. Leave. Existing computer keyboards are used to the maximum, and the function keys that are not on the keyboard and are required for phone functions can be used in combination with the keys around the keyboard. The hook button (1) implements the telephone ON / OFF so that the computer keyboard and the telephone can be used, and the switch has a technical configuration to replace the computer function while using the telephone. It can also be used like a regular telephone when not using a computer.

The present invention relates to a computer keyboard having a telephone function, the configuration and effect thereof will be described by the accompanying drawings as follows.

1 is a diagram illustrating a keyboard numeric keypad and a function key having a telephone function. When using the computer for the first time, only the computer part is kept on in the status LED (3). In the meantime, when a call comes in or wants to make a call, the telephone part of the status LED 3 is turned on at the same time as the hook button 1 is pressed, and the state of the telephone is switched. To use the numeric keypad for the computer while calling, press the switch button (2) once, the status LED (3) is turned on at the same time the computer and telephone. To use the phone function at the same time, hang up the phone and return to the computer-specific function, press the hook button (1). Only the computer part is turned on in the status display LED (3). In order to use the buttons located around the numeric keypad as function keys required for the phone but not for the phone, the key was designed to operate as the function key required in the phone or computer switching state. In addition, when you want to answer or make a call when the computer is turned off, pressing the hook button (1) turns on the telephone portion of the status LED (3) to enter the phone state. In addition, the ringtone output speaker (4) is also designed to be located small on the keyboard for the phone ringtone output.

2 is a perspective view showing a cable coupled to the keyboard connection line 6 and the telephone connection line (7). The keyboard is connected by one cable and the keyboard connection line 6 and the telephone connection line 7 are coupled to each other, and are separated into two lines with a suitable length.

3 is a view showing in detail the intermediate portion (A) of the telephone connection line. According to the connection method of the telephone connection jack, a connection jack (8) and a wall connection jack (9) were devised to be connected to the line connected to the telephone line.

4 is a perspective view showing a telephone control key and an ear microphone connection state. There is an incoming call volume control switch 10 that can adjust the incoming call volume, and there is a dial tone control switch 11 that can adjust the earpiece of the ear microphone. In addition, the ear microphone connection portion 12 has been devised so that the ear microphone 13 can be coupled.

It is a computer keyboard with a phone function, which combines a phone with a computer keyboard that only takes up space on the desk. The internal circuit does not need to be made as small as commercially available compact telephones to match the size of the keyboard, and the production cost can be lowered because the existing keyboard numeric keypad is utilized to the maximum. Thus, two functions can be pursued at a lower cost than purchasing a keyboard and a phone separately. From a producer's point of view or a consumer's point of view, it can be more competitive than other keyboards and can enjoy sales promotion.
