If the touch area is touched by the object, a first signal is rotated according to the contact of the touch area by at least one object. One of several functional modes is activated according to the content of the first signal and the content of the second signal. In order to make the above description of the present invention more comprehensible, the preferred embodiments are described below, and in conjunction with the drawings, the detailed description is as follows: [Embodiment] 200923736

-1, 丨 - ···__6PA 实施An embodiment, please refer to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B simultaneously. FIG. 1A is a top view of the input device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. A cross-sectional view taken along line 1B_1B in Fig. 1A. The input device 1 is for operating an electronic device (not shown). The input device 1A includes a base 11A, an input member 120, a pressing sensing member 14A, and a control unit 150. The input component 120 is disposed on the base 11 , and the input component 12 〇 ^ has a touch area 122 and a non-touch area 124 . When the touch area 122 is contacted by at least one object 〇B1, the input element 12 outputs a first signal S1, and when the non-touch area 124 is contacted by the object 〇B2, the input element 12 does not generate any signal. The pressing sensing element 14 is disposed on the base 11〇, and outputs a second signal S2 according to the input element 120 being pressed by the object 〇bi or the object 〇B2. The control unit 150 activates one of the plurality of functional modes according to the content of the first signal S1 and the content of the second signal S2. In the embodiment, the input device 100 can be configured as an input interface of an electronic device to perform functions such as movement of an indicator of the display screen of the electronic device, zooming in and out of the window, zooming in and out of the display ratio, and scrolling. The input component 12 of the embodiment has a touch area 122 and a non-touch area 124' and the non-touch area 124 is substantially disposed around the touch area 122. In addition, the non-touch area 124 is preferably protruded from the touch area 122 to facilitate the user to quickly recognize the touch area 122 and the non-touch area 124 by tactile sensation. Therefore, the user does not need to look down the screen - and the finger is located in the touch area 122, which is the non-touch area 124, and can enter the device (10) to operate the electronic device while watching the screen, without the need for visual To do touch

The difference between the 36PA 200923736 area 122 and the non-touch area 124 is to increase the operational sense of the intuitive response. In this embodiment, the wheel-in component 120 is, for example, a capacitive touch panel, and the touch area 122 preferably includes a touch sensing element 13A. The touch sensing 130 includes a plurality of capacitors, and a plurality of capacitors are disposed in the touch area 122. Since the capacitive touch panel forms a uniform electric field on the touch surface, the object 〇B1 and the capacitive touch panel will take away the current in a small distance when approaching or contacting, so that a signal can be generated. Therefore, when the touch area '22 is touched by at least one object 〇B1, the touch sensing element 13 outputs the first signal s according to the contact by the object OB1. Since the touch sensing component 130 is disposed in the touch area 122, when the object 〇B2 is in contact with the non-touch area 124, the touch sensing element 13 does not generate any signal. In other words, when the object OB1 is in contact with the touch area 122, the touch sensing component 130 senses the contact of the object 〇Bi to output the first signal S1, and when the object OB2 contacts the non-touch area 124, the touch The sensing element 13 is beneficial, and the sensing object OB2 is in contact without generating any signal. In addition, although the touch sensing component 13 of the embodiment is a capacitive touch panel, the input component 120 can also be a resistive touch panel, an acoustic touch panel, an optical touch panel, and the like. Touch panel. Next, please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C simultaneously, and FIG. 1C is a schematic view showing the object of the wheel in the first drawing. In the present embodiment, the pressing sensing component 140 is directly connected to the input component 12A and the base 110, for example, and the pressing sensing component 140 is made of a material having elasticity. Thus, when the user presses the object input member 12〇 with the object OB1 or the object 0B2, the input member 120 can be relatively moved by pressing the elastic sensing element 14

36PA 200923736 Yu Di position R1 and brother one position R2. Therefore, when the input member 120 is pressed by the object 〇B1 or the object 〇B2 and moved from the first position R1 to the second position R2, the squeezing sensing element 140 is pressed by the input member 12 输出 to output the second signal S2. That is, when the object 〇bi or the object 〇B2 presses the touch area 122 or the non-touch area 124 to press the input element 120 to press the sensing element 140, the pressing sensing element 140 outputs according to the pressing condition. The second signal S2. In addition, the pressing sensing element 140 of the present embodiment is directly connected to the base 110 and the input element 12, for example. The pressing sensing element 140 of this type is, for example, a segment switch, a touch switch or a micro switch. In addition, the pressing sensing element 14〇 can also directly connect to the base 110 without directly connecting, and can directly sense whether the object 〇B1 or the object OB2 presses the input element 120. The pressing sensing element 14 of this type is, for example, a pressure sensor. Wait. In addition, the object OB1 or the object 〇B2 of the embodiment is, for example, a user's finger, and the object 〇B1 or the object 〇B2 can be a single finger or a double hand of the user, or a stylus The object can be in contact with the input device 1. In addition, this embodiment proposes an operation method of the input device. The operation method of the embodiment includes the following steps. Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 2, FIG. 2 simultaneously. A flowchart of an operation method of an input device according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown. First, in step 201, an input device 1〇0 is provided, and the input device 1〇〇 includes a base 11〇 and an input element 12〇. The touch panel 122 has a touch area 122 and a non-touch area 124 and is disposed on the base 11 . Then, in step 202, it is determined whether the input element 120 is received by the object.

36PA 200923736 〇B1 or object 0B2 is pressed, if yes, proceed to step 2〇3; if not, proceed to step 202 again. Next, in step 203, the pressing sensing element 140 outputs the second signal S2 in accordance with the case where the input member 120 is pressed by the object 〇B1 or the object 〇B2. Then, in step 204, the touch sensing component 1 determines whether the touch area 122 is contacted by the object 〇B1. If it is determined that the touch area 22 is touched by the object 〇B1, the process proceeds to step 205; if it is determined that the touch area 122 is not contacted by the object 〇B1, the process returns to step 202. In step 205, the touch sensing component 130 outputs the first signal S1 according to the situation that the touch area 122 is contacted by at least one object OB1. In response to step 206, the control unit 150 initiates one of a plurality of functional modes based on the content of the first signal S1 and the content of the second signal S2. Further, in the present embodiment, step 204 and step 205 are performed simultaneously. That is to say, the control unit 150 immediately switches to one of the functional modes after receiving the first signal S1. The input component 120 of this embodiment has a touch area 122 and a non-touch area 124. When the object 〇B1 is pressed against the touch area 122, the pressing sensing element 140 outputs a second signal S2 due to the pressing, and the touch sensing element 130 located at the touch area 122 is in contact with the object 〇B1. The first signal S1 is output. Similarly, when the non-touch area 124 is pressed by the object OB2, the pressing sensing element 140 outputs the second signal S2 due to the pressing of the input element 120, but the touch sensing element 130 does not output the first signal. S1. In other words, when the object 〇B1 presses the non-touch 11 200923736

In the 36PA area 124, only the second signal S2 is generated, and the first signal S1 is not generated. In this way, several combinations can be generated according to the content of the second signal S2 and the content of the first signal S1, and the several combinations can be respectively defined as different functional modes, as shown in Table 1. The control unit 150 can activate the corresponding functional mode by inputting the contents of the first signal S1 and the second signal S2. In the present embodiment, Table 1 only lists the content of the second signal S2, the number of pressing times is from one to five times, and the number of contact points of the content of the first signal S1 is only one finger to three fingers. In addition, the content of the first signal S1 is only four directions in its contact position. However, the changes of the actual first signal S1 and the second signal S2 are not limited to this. Table I

\.S1 S2X\ One finger two fingers Three fingers Upper left corner Upper right corner Lower left corner Lower right corner I VI XI XVI XXI XXVI XXXI Secondary II VII XII XVII XXII XXVII XXXII Triple III VIII XIII XVIII XXIII XXVIII XXXIII Four times IV IX XIV XIX XXIV XXIX XXXIV Five times VX XV XX XXV XXX XXXV Next, please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 simultaneously to further explain the input method of the input device 100, and FIG. 3 shows the first embodiment according to the present invention. Waveforms of the first signal and the second signal. The following is an example to illustrate how the corresponding functional mode is activated by the combination of the first signal S1 and the second signal S2. If the function mode that the user needs to start is the first function mode of Table 1, the content of the second signal S2 needs to include the number of times of pressing three times. Then the user takes the object 〇B2 12 200923736 at the 2nd and 6th seconds respectively.

36PA = pressure_control zone 124. Therefore, at the 6th second, the second signal S2 pressing the sensing element 14 表示 9 indicates that the input element 12 〇 has been pressed twice. At the 1st leap second, the object 〇B1 presses the touch area 122. At this time, pressing the sensing component 140 to output the second signal S2 indicates that the input component 12 has been pressed three times, and the touch sensing component 13 outputs the first signal, indicating that the touch region 122 has also been touched. Thus, when the control unit 15 receives the first signal ^, the control unit (10) performs switching, and according to the content of the second signal S2 and the content of the first signal S1, the corresponding (1) 2 energy mode is activated. In addition, when the control unit 15Q continues to receive the second signal S2 for the 15th second, the control unit 15 continues to activate the activated function module. Similarly, when the control unit 15 does not continue to receive the second signal S2 for the second leap second, the control unit 15 turns off the activated function mode. In this way, when the user wants to switch the function mode, the user only needs to release the input component 120 to stop inputting the second signal S2, and the control unit 彳5〇 immediately turns off the activated function mode. In contrast, in order to continue the function mode, the user can continue to press the non-touch area 124 with another hand or another finger in addition to the method of pressing the touch area 122 all the time. In addition, please refer to FIG. 4, which is another waveform diagram of the first apostrophe and the second signal in the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment preferably further defines that the input element 120 is substantially less than a predetermined time by the time interval between the object 0B1 or the object 〇Β2, wherein the predetermined time is 2 seconds. As shown in Fig. 4, the object ΟΒ 2 presses the non-touch area 124 with the object 〇Β 2 at the 2nd second and the 1st second, respectively. However, since the time interval between the second second and the first one second pressing is greater than 2 seconds, the sensing element is pressed at the 10th second 14〇 200923736

The second signal S2 output by ___36PA only indicates that the input element 120 has been pressed only once. The second signal S2 outputted by the sensing element 140 at the second second and the second signal S2 outputted at the tenth second are independent of each other. That is, when the second input element 120 is pressed at the 10th second, the second signal S2 output by the pressing sensing element 140 indicates that the input element 120 is only pressed once, and the control unit 150 only uses the 14th second. It will be determined that the second signal S2 indicates that the input element 120 is pressed twice, and the third functional mode corresponding to the second second signal S2 is activated. In this way, when the user mistakenly presses 〇 and there is no subsequent pressing action within 2 seconds, pressing the sensing component 140 will clear the content of the second signal S2 without including the number of false touches. In addition, the control unit 150 of the embodiment can further activate the corresponding functional mode according to the content of the first signal S1 and the number of pressing of the second signal S 2 . The following is a simplified description and illustration, and several functional modes are exemplified by using the finger P1 as the object 〇B1, OB2. Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows the intention of initiating the second functional mode with a single finger. In this embodiment, the content of the first signal S1 includes the number of contact points touched by the object in the touch area 122, and the control unit 150 starts the number of contacts according to the first signal S1 and the number of pressing times of the second signal S 2 One of the functional modes. One finger P1 presses the non-touch area 124 once, and then presses the touch area 122 with one finger P1. The content of the first signal S1 indicates that the number of contact points is one finger, and the content of the second signal S2 Indicates that the number of presses is two. This will activate the third function mode, such as "scroll window". 14 200923736

. . . a > 36PA Please refer to FIG. 6 , which shows a schematic diagram of starting the first VM function mode with a single finger. If the non-touch area 124 is pressed first by one finger P1, and then the touch area 122 is simultaneously pressed by the two fingers P1 and P2, the content of the first signal S1 indicates that the number of contact points is two fingers, and the second The content of the signal S2 indicates that the number of presses is two. Thus, the control unit 150 can activate another corresponding function, such as the VII function mode. Please refer to FIG. 7 again, which shows a schematic diagram of starting the XXX丨 function mode with a single finger. In this embodiment, the content of the first signal S1 further includes a contact point position at which the touch area 122 is contacted by the object, and the control unit 150 activates the corresponding position according to the position of the first signal S1 and the number of pressing of the second signal S2. Functional mode. When a finger P1 presses the non-touch area 124 once, and then presses the upper left corner of the touch area 122 once, the content of the first signal S1 indicates that the contact point position is the upper left corner, and the content of the second signal S2 indicates the pressing. The number of times is two. This will activate the XVI function mode, for example, "Left key plus Control key". Please refer to FIG. 8 again, which shows a schematic diagram of starting the XXXII function mode with a single finger. If the non-touch area 124 is pressed first by one finger P1, and then the lower right corner of the touch area 122 is pressed by one finger P1, the content of the first signal S1 indicates that the contact point position is the lower right corner, and the The content of the second signal S2 indicates that the number of presses is two. Thus, the control unit 150 can open another corresponding function, such as the XXXI丨 function mode. Referring again to Figure 9, a schematic diagram of the activation of the VIII functional mode with two fingers is shown. In this embodiment, the content of the first signal S1 further includes the moving direction of the contact point where the touch control area 122 is contacted by the object, and the control unit 15

36PA 200923736 150 activates the corresponding function mode according to the moving direction of the contact point of the first signal S1 and the number of pressing of the second signal S2. The finger P1 presses the non-touch area 124 twice, and then presses the touch area 122 once with the two fingers P1 and P2. At this time, the content of the first signal S1 indicates that the number of contact points is two fingers, and the content of the second signal S2 is represented. The number of presses is three. This will activate the VIII function mode, for example, "Zoom in and out." Preferably, in the VI丨丨 function mode, the control unit 150 further indicates that the finger P2 moves upward or downward according to the content of the first signal S1 to enlarge or reduce the window font size. In this embodiment, the control unit can initiate one of several functional modes according to the content of the first signal and the content of the second signal. The first signal content disclosed in this embodiment may include the number of contacts, the position of the contact point, and the moving direction of the contact, and the content of the second signal includes the number of times of pressing. In this way, several combinations of the first signal and the second signal can be obtained according to the requirements of the actual application, and are respectively defined as the required functional modes. In addition, the three contents of the first signal can also be combined with each other according to actual needs. For example, in addition to pressing one finger to the lower right corner, a combination of two fingers pressing the lower right corner can be defined. SECOND EMBODIMENT Referring to Figures 1B and 10, FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the operation of the input device in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the operation method of the input device 100 is to press one of the two functional modes by pressing the sensing area or the non-sensing area to provide a simple operation mode for the user. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that 16 200923736

The operation method of the G6PA electronic device is controlled by the first signal whether or not the first signal is output to start one of the two functional modes, and the rest of the same as the structure of the input device 10 is not repeated. Steps 201 to 203 of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and thus will not be repeatedly described. Next, in step 1004, the touch sensing component 130 determines whether the touch area 122 is contacted by the object 〇B1. If it is judged that the touch control area 122 is not in contact with the object OB1, the process proceeds to step 1〇〇5; if it is judged that the touch control area 122 is contacted by the object OB1, the process proceeds to step 1006. Then, when it is determined in step 1 to step 4, the touch sensing component 130 is not touched by the object 〇B1 according to the touch area 122, and the first signal S1 is not output. Since the touch sensing component 130 does not output the first signal S1, in step 1007, the control unit 150 activates one of the plurality of functional modes according to the outputted second signal S2. In addition, if it is determined in step 1004 that the process proceeds to step 1006, the touch sensing component 130 outputs the first signal S1 according to the case where the touch area 122 is contacted by an object OB1. Then, in step 1〇〇7, the control unit 150 activates one of the plurality of functional modes according to the outputted first signal S1 and the second signal S2. In addition, in this embodiment. Step 202 and step 1004 are performed simultaneously. That is, the pressing sensing component 140 and the touch sensing component 130 simultaneously sense and simultaneously determine whether the first signal S1 and the second signal S2 need to be issued. Referring to FIG. 1B, in the present embodiment, as described in the first embodiment, when the object 〇B1 presses the touch area 122, the pressing sensing element 140 outputs the second signal S2 and the touch sensing element 130 outputs simultaneously. First signal 17

〕36PA 200923736 S1. Similarly, when the object 〇B2 presses the non-touch area 124, the pressing sensing element 140 outputs the second signal S2, but the touch sensing element 1 30 does not output the first signal S1. In this way, the control unit 150 can generate several combinations according to the presence or absence of the first signal S1, and define several combinations as different functional modes, as shown in Table 2. The second series shows the combination of the second signal S2 and the first signal S1 and the corresponding function mode. Actually, the content of the first signal S1 is only outputted and not outputted in the embodiment, and may actually include the number or direction of the contact points, and the content of the first signal S1 is not limited thereto.

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 11 simultaneously. FIG. 11 is a waveform diagram of the first signal and the second signal according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The following is an example of how to activate the click function mode of Table 2 when the object 〇B1 presses the touch area 122. The user presses the touch area 122 with the object 〇B1 at the second second, and the touch sensing element 140 senses the pressing and outputs the second signal S2, and the touch sensing element 130 is also contacted by the object OB1 to output the first signal. S1. In this way, the control unit 150 activates the click function mode according to the first signal S1 and the second signal S2 received simultaneously. The function of the click function mode in this embodiment is the same as the function of pressing the left mouse button to confirm. 18

I36PA 200923736 Next, please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 12 simultaneously. FIG. 12 is another waveform diagram of the first signal and the second signal in the second embodiment of the present invention. The following is an example to illustrate how to activate the function mode of Table 2 when the object 〇B2 presses the non-touch area 124. The user presses the non-touch area 124 with the object 0B2 in the second second, the pressing sensing element 140 senses the pressing and outputs the second signal S2, and the touch sensing element 130 is also contacted by the object 〇B2 to output the first Signal S1. In this way, the control unit 150 activates the function option function mode according to the received second signal S2 and the first signal si is not received. The function of this embodiment is the function of the option function mode. The function of the function menu appears on the screen after pressing the right mouse button. In this embodiment, the control unit can initiate one of the plurality of functional modes according to the presence or absence of the first signal and the content of the second signal. The first signal disclosed in this embodiment is divided by the content of the output, the number of contact points, the position of the contact point, and the moving direction of the contact point. In this way, several groups of iJs can be obtained by the first signal and the second signal according to the requirements of the actual application, and are respectively defined as the function modes required by the user. Third Embodiment Referring to Figures 13A and 13B, Figure 13A is a plan view of an input device in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 13B is a side view of the input device in accordance with Figure 13A. In the third embodiment, a bump located on the touch area 322 is used as a non-touch area 324. The third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the sensing area and the non-sensing area of the input element 19 200923736

The structure of the 36PA is so the same (such as the method of operation) is not repeated. In the embodiment, the non-touch area 324 of the input component 320 is, for example, a bump disposed on a touch area 322. The bumps are slightly protruded from the touch area 322 to facilitate the user to quickly touch the difference between the touch area 322 and the non-touch area 324. In this way, the user does not need to visually distinguish the difference between the touch control area 322 and the non-touch area 324 to increase the operational sense of the intuitive response. In addition, the bumps of the non-touch area 324 of the embodiment are exemplified by circular bumps, and the positions, shapes, and numbers of the bumps are not limited. In the present embodiment, the touch area 322 preferably includes a touch sensing element 330 ′ and the touch sensing element 330 is located under the touch area 322 . The touch sensing component 330 of the present embodiment is substantially disposed corresponding to the touch area 322. Therefore, when the object touches the touch area 322, the touch sensing element 330 can be sensed, and the touch sensing element 33 can be The first signal & is issued, so that there is no setting of the touch sensing component 33 at the non-touch area 324. As in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, when the object 〇B3 presses the touch control area 322, the touch sensing component 330 senses the contact of the object 〇B3 to output the first signal S1. When the object 〇B4 contacts the non-touch area 324 anhydride, the touch sensing component 330 does not emit any signal. The pressing sensing element 140 emits the second signal S2 regardless of whether the object 〇B3, 〇B4 contacts the non-touch area 324 or the touch area 322. Therefore, the input device 3 of the present embodiment can be applied to the operation method of the first embodiment in addition to the operation method of the first embodiment. The input device and the operating method of the electronic device using the same according to the above embodiments of the present invention are used to press the non-touch area and the touch area to lose 20 200923736

The 36PA has the first signal and the second signal. By matching the contents of the second signal and the first signal, a considerable number of different combinations can be produced. Users can define various combinations as different functional modes according to actual needs. In this way, it is possible to effectively increase the operation method of several different functions of the input device, and provide a simpler operation mode for the user. In the above, the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, but it is not intended to limit the present invention.
