Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a user command input system, and more particularly to an integrated input system using a single input interface, which is convenient for use on various portable electronic products. Prior Art A general electronic product input device includes a disk drive, a CD player, and a memory card that can be read by an electronic product host, and includes a user who can directly interact with the host and the host. Command input device. By inputting the user command, the user can directly input and modify the travel of the electronic product (pr0cess). For the average user, the commonly used input devices are nothing more than: the keyboard for inputting digital information, the trigger for special Wei, the mouse for pointing information, the track or trackpad, or the tablet for inputting handwritten graphics. . Due to the different information entered, the principles and structures used by these input devices are also different. In the example of a traditional mechanical keyboard, when the user presses the active stereo button, the _ sensing point below the button is triggered, and then the keyboard control chip will encode the corresponding number of texts or Wei to the keyboard transmission line, and then the host The upper keyboard bus sends user commands to each device. In addition, with the development of the window system, there are more and more input devices for moving to and from the window, such as: gas trackpads and tabletes. For example, in the case of a resistive touch panel, when the user touches the surface of the touch panel 5 201003494, the electrical short circuit of the two conductive films in the lower layer of the touch panel can be touched by the miscellaneous value represented by the value of the touch panel. Back to the position of the pressure point in the two-dimensional space, and the pointing information is sent to the host through the touch panel transmission line, and the touch panel bus on the host sends the user command to each device. It can be seen that the operation interfaces required by the various input devices are different, and the subsequent signal processing (4) is also very good, and even the bus bars transmitted to the domain are not the same. However, for most electronic products, it is often not only a single input device, but also a computer product paste. The user not only needs a typing keyboard that can use the alphanumeric input, a function key that triggers the function, or a mouse that points to the input or The touchpad and even the handwriting input handwriting board. For each additional input device, various connection lines, interface contacts, and placements are required. Lai, on current portable electronic products (eg, notebook computers), there are a typing keyboard 42, a function key 43 and a touchpad 41 (as shown in FIG. 3), but the input devices are separate and independent devices. Each has its input interface, control and transmission lines, and the space occupied by it does not reduce f U in the "f knowing technology shoots" - hybrid button and handwriting function f capacitive touch panel (Republic of China patent certificate number The capacitive touch panel is defined as a keyboard input area or a pointing input area, and is switched in a mode to provide different input mode switching. However, to touch a fixed area Switching between different input 彳 Bin, the ability to switch between the two miscellaneous phases of the test (for example, the document editing program often switches between the text input and the smashing movement), the operation / phase is not easy 'simultaneous' use touch Touch the fixed area to switch between different input modes. 6 201003494 Method 'When the secret setting is more and more modes, the input interface is increased, the mode switch _ the required range is aged, the other is hard to make the domain or It is necessary to change The touch panel; even if the _ in the same area repeatedly pressed for multi-level switching, the individual still has to operate _ contrast to the time book, in order to switch to the desired input mode. The integrated button and handwritten Wei capacitive The touchpad replaces the mechanical keyboard to achieve the purpose of sensing the keyboard interface with the touchpad; however, the keyboard interface, the touchpad pointing interface and even the function key interface are still in separate interface mode, adopting mode switching _ to switch between each other. As such, the size of the overall touchpad is still limited by the multi-mode cutting pure 'In addition, the complicated mode switching causes user inconvenience. Therefore, how to successfully integrate all users The input device is on a single input surface, and the integrated input system for recognizing the user operation in a diversified manner is the object that the inventors are striving to achieve. [Disclosed] In order to solve the problem in the use of the above-mentioned prior art The present invention provides an integrated input system, including: a contact sensing unit eight; a signal processing unit B; The unit C; and an integrated bus unit D. The contact sensing unit A can include: a keyboard message input, an action trigger of a function key (or a hot key), a pointing input of a touchpad (or a mouse) , the drawing operation of the tablet 7 201003494 enters the contact operation with the input of the other input interface, and generates a sensing signal 10 to the signal processing unit B for converting the sensing signal 1 and arranging into a contact point message 11, and then The user instruction identification unit c analyzes the user instruction 12 represented by the contact point information η, and the user instruction 12 is outputted by the integration bus (4). The user instruction identification unit c can be Identifying the user command corresponding to the contact point message based on the characteristics of the touch point message or the touch point message and the user command that occurred first, for example: the contact point message with continuous moving characteristics should be regarded as / month mouse ♦Day moving or dragging; the touch point message with click feature should be regarded as the mouse click input after the mouse movement input. In addition, the external display unit information 13 can be transmitted to the user command identification unit C via the integrated bus D for use as a basis for identifying the command. Not only that, the mode switching operation that occurs before the contact point message can also be used as the basis for identifying the user command. For example, the trigger of the keyboard input mode switching operation is regarded as the key ship input; and the trigger The click after the touchpad input mode switching operation should be regarded as the click action input pointing to the operation, etc. This "month can also include the mode switching trigger unit, which is used to trigger the mode switching operation", for example: physical button triggering, Or the specific area of the contact sensing unit or the gentleman's knife changing action identification unit is used to recognize the operation of the switching mode. For example, the operation of writing special characters, graphics or gestures should be regarded as a certain mode of input. The operation concept achieves fast switching without the need to specifically switch the mode key. 8 201003494 In order to make the structure and advantages of the present invention more clear and clear, the following provides a detailed description of the actual addition and related drawings.
