Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a hand-held electronic device, and more particularly to a handheld electronic device having a standard keyboard (QWERTY). [Previous Technology] Handheld electronic devices are electrical devices that allow users to hold and operate by hand, such as mobile phones, multimedia players, personal digital assistants, palmtop computers, handheld game consoles, and handheld satellite navigation. And so on. Types of electronic devices typically have a smaller size and a lighter weight for the user to carry around. Some types of handheld electronic devices (such as mobile phones) are equipped with a standard keyboard (QWERTY) to increase the rate of data entry. In order to facilitate dialing, the twelve dials of the standard keyboard, i.e., the dialing button group, are further modeled on the mobile phone, and the printing of the dialing characters is added to the dialing button group. However, in the case of a standard keyboard having a dial button group, the buttons of the dial button group and the buttons of the non-dial button group on the side thereof are different only in the pattern, but they are not significantly different in appearance, which is disadvantageous. Blind typing is performed on the user, thereby increasing the probability of a button being touched. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a hand-held electronic device having a dial button group that allows a user to operate without visual inspection. 201232334

In the standard keyboard keys of Lin, 歹! The buttons of 120 are marked with different labels to clearly distinguish the difference between the dial button group P1 and the non-dial button group. In the present embodiment, the buttons for dialing the key group P1 are the buttons "W", "E", "R", "S", "D", "F", " Twelve buttons 122, such as "x", "c" and "Tab", "SYM", ",", etc., by having these buttons 122 have both "〇"~"9" and "*", "#" and other functions, so that the user wants to dial the phone function when using the handheld electronic device. However, the embodiment does not limit the button 122 for forming the dial button group ρ, and the designer can appropriately change according to the standard keyboard button arrangement and usage habits. It should be noted that the dial button group P1 in this embodiment connects the buttons 122 arranged in the horizontal direction A1 to each other, and stores a gap between the buttons 122 and the button 124 of the non-dial button group of the Zhou Lubian. . In this way, when the user touches the standard keyboard button arrangement 12〇, the difference between the button 122 of the dial button group P1 and the button 124 of the non-dial button group can be clearly distinguished, so that the user can know by touch. The dialing button group P1 is placed at the position of the standard keyboard button arrangement 12〇 to achieve the blind hitting effect. However, this embodiment does not limit the form used to distinguish between a dialing button group and a non-dialing button group. Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of a handheld electronic device in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, unlike the above embodiment,

There is a gap between the two, so that there is a significant difference between the two, in order to achieve the purpose of user identification. In addition, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a handheld electronic device according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, in this embodiment, each button 322 of the dial button group p3 is connected to each other in the horizontal direction A1 and the vertical direction A2, and the button 322 of the dial button group p3 and the button 124 of the non-dial button group are also There is a gap G therebetween, and this embodiment achieves the same effects as the above embodiment. Figure 5A is a diagram of a handheld electronic device in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5B is a cross-sectional view of the handheld electronic device of Figure 5A taken along line A-A. Referring to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B simultaneously, in the handheld electronic device 400 of the embodiment, the difference between the button 422 of the dial button group p4 and the button 424 of the non-key button is to make the dial button group P4 There is a drop between the center of the top surface of each of the keys 422 and the top surface of each of the keys of the non-dial button group. In other words, the mechanism 412 in this embodiment has a reference surface 412a' and the height H1 of the button 422 of the dial button group P4 with respect to the reference plane 412a is greater than the height H2 of the button 424 of the non-dial button group with respect to the reference plane 412a. In this way, when the user touches the keyboard button arrangement 42 (), the dial button group and the non-dial button _ height difference can be felt and the effect of the ugly button group can be clearly touched. Similarly, Figure 6 is a partial cross-sectional view of a handheld electronic device in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the height H3 of the button 522 for dialing pressing the 201232334 HTC099251-0-TW 36846twf.doc/I key group relative to the reference plane is smaller than the button 524 of the non-dial button group relative to the reference plane. The height of the fairy is H4. This group can be the same as that of the embodiment of Fig. 5A and Fig. 5, and is used in the present day, by the standard = non-dial button group on the handheld electronic device == consecutive == rate. The user is blindly hitting, and the machine that reduces the key touch is too private. The present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, and the scope of protection of the invention is not used as the scope of the invention. A schematic diagram of a handheld electronic device in accordance with the present invention is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of another handheld device of the present invention. 4 is a representation of a handheld electronic device in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention.
