The present invention is a patented technology for providing a method for mounting an input device to an external device in a portable terminal. In particular, the input device can be inserted into the smartphone case.

In this case, the known technology can be applied to the configuration of the present invention in a state in which the detailed description is omitted.

1 is a schematic view of the present invention.

2. Description of the Related Art [0002] In a smartphone that provides various functions among mobile phones, a screen occupies the whole of the portable terminal, and thus a protective wallet or a shield plate for mounting a smart phone is provided in order to protect the screen. At this time, the present invention provides a structure having an input device in a protective wallet for mounting a smart phone.

In the present invention, the smartphone purse 100 is provided with a keyboard 110.

The mobile phone further includes a fixed case 120 for fixing the smart phone 50, a connection terminal 130,

FIGS. 2 to 4 are views showing an embodiment of a connection structure between a keyboard and a smartphone.

In the present invention, the keyboard 110 is connected to a smartphone using a USB connection system. At this time, a main chip 115 exists in the middle. That is, a flexible cable (or FPC (Flexible Printed Cable)) 101 is connected between the keyboard, the main chip and the smartphone 50,

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the main chip 115 is made of a single chip and includes a communication unit 115a, a central processing unit (MCU) 115c, and a power And a portion 115b.

The main chip 115 transmits a signal sensed by the keyboard to a smartphone in accordance with the standard of the USB connection system of the smartphone 50. In some cases, And a connected output unit may be further provided. The output unit 116 may be an LED lamp, a speaker, or the like, and may function as an alarm to the user if necessary.

Meanwhile, the keyboard 110 is connected to the main chip 115 through a connection line 101, and the main chip 115 is connected to the smartphone again. As shown in the figure, the connection terminal 130 is connected to the USB connection terminal 131 through the USB connection terminal 131.

The connection line 101 is shown in dotted lines in FIG. 3, and actually exists inside the case 100.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a smartphone case is composed of a base plate 111 made of resin or leather and a cover film 111a covering the base plate while forming a case body, (111) and the cover film (111a)

Also, the power of the keyboard is supplied from the smart phone through the USB terminal, which can be done according to the standard specification of the smart phone,

Figures 5 and 6 are views of yet another embodiment of a smartphone purse.

The smartphone case is composed of a portion covering the back portion of the smartphone and a portion covering the screen portion of the smartphone. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, a rectangular or circular window And the transparent plate 114a may be mounted on the window 114. FIG. The transparent plate 114a is made of transparent resin, transparent glass, transparent tempered glass, or transparent crystal.

On the other hand, in FIG. 6, in another embodiment, the window 114 may be formed to reduce the area in which the keyboard can be positioned, and thus the keyboard 110 in a folded form may be provided. That is, since the keyboard is folded through the folded portion 110a, it is possible to use the keyboard folded when necessary.

That is, one portion of the keyboard 110 is integrally formed with the case 100, and the other portion is separately formed in the form of a film, and only the two portions are connected to each other in a circuit.

Figs. 7 to 11 are views showing embodiments of the connection terminal in detail.

If the conventional USB terminal connected to the smartphone is used as it is, the connection terminal 130 'as shown in FIG. 7 (B) has a significantly protruded shape and the merchantability is degraded.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), the connection terminal 130 which is not protruded is provided,

8 shows the structure of the connection terminal 130 that is not protruded and the flexible substrate 132 on which the electric wiring 132a is formed and the internal connection pin 131a are connected in circuit through the bonding portion 132b, The wiring of the flexible board is connected to the connection line 101 of the smartphone case,

As a result, the flexible substrate 132 is provided in a direction perpendicular to the insertion connection part 131, and the connection pin 131a and the wiring 132a formed in the insertion connection part 131 are connected to each other through the connection part 132b do.

A hole is formed in the flexible substrate 132 to allow the end of the connection pin 131a to pass therethrough and the connection pin 131a, So that the wiring 132a can be bonded (solder tang, etc.)

The flexible substrate 132 is connected to the smartphone case 100 but is folded and unfolded so that the connection terminal 130 can be inserted into or disconnected from the smartphone.

In addition, the flexible substrate 132 is not necessarily limited to a flexible material. For example, it may be made of a non-flexible (non-flexible) material for rigidity. However, even when the flexible board 132 is made of a non-flexible material, the flexible board 132 and the smartphone case are connected so as to be able to be folded and unfolded.

9 is a view showing an embodiment in which the box case is formed in the form of enclosing the junction 132b and a part of the flexible substrate to make the connection terminal 130. Therefore, the junction 132b and the connection pin 131a are not exposed do,

10 is a more detailed view of a portion of the insertion connection portion 131 in which the insertion connection portion 131 is inserted into the smartphone 50. The connection pin 131a is connected to the smartphone in a circuit, and an internal space 131b is also formed.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 11, the thickness T of the connection terminal 130 can be maintained within 5 mm by forming the structure of the connection terminal 130 as in the present invention. That is, in the present invention, since the thickness of the connection terminal can be maintained from 2 mm to 5 mm, it is possible to effectively and conveniently connect the keyboard and the smartphone.

12 is a view of an embodiment showing a structure for a keyboard-type input device.

A bottom plate 109 is formed below the lid 100, and the bottom plate can be made of hard and hard plastic. In case of metal, the surface should be coated with insulating film or insulating film. The coating thickness is within 0.1-0.2 mm. And a keyboard circuit 108 is provided at the upper end thereof. The key board circuit 108 has a form in which a metal layer is coated on the resin film in accordance with the shape of the input key board. Therefore, the key board circuit 108 is formed with the contact portion 108a in accordance with the position of each key board. Similarly, the contact portion 108a is also formed by a metal film coating.

And a button portion 107 is formed. The button unit 107 is made of a resin film or the like and a convex button 107a is formed at a corresponding position of each input board. The convex button 107a is convexly formed, and a terminal is printed in correspondence with the contact portion 108a, although not shown in the figure below. At this time, the terminals are printed in the form of a copper conductor.

Then, a printing film 107b is inserted into the upper end thereof, and a frame film 106 is mounted on the uppermost end. The edge of the frame film 106 is attached to the edge of the bottom plate 109 so that the components are fixed and firmly mounted on the bottom plate 109. At this time, the thickness of the bottom plate may be within 0.5 - 1 mm, and it may be within 2-3 mm. The thickness of the frame film, the button portion, and the keyboard circuit may be 0.5 mm or less, and the thickness may be 0.1 mm or less.

13 is a diagram showing a touch panel type input device.

The input device in the form of a touch panel is provided with an input device 130 instead of the keyboard circuit 108 and the button device 107, and the remaining structure is the same.

Meanwhile, the flexible film type keyboard (parts for inputting characters with a letter shape formed on the keyboard) shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 of the present invention is an example, and the flexible keyboard can be applied to the embodiment of the present invention Do. For example, a method of wiring the gold-plated wires in a matrix form is also applicable to the present invention.
