After the processor 14 receives the scan code, the scan code combined with the combination key Ctrl + shift and the function key F7 is converted by the application into the parameter value 7 corresponding to the combination of the Fn key and the function key (step S206). In short, the application converts the combination key CM + shift of the external keyboard to the Fn key on the built-in keyboard. As a result, the combination of the Fn key can be preset by the system or by the user. The above application can also be applied to the built-in keyboard, because the application can receive the scan code sent by the application in both the internal keyboard and the external keyboard. . . , indicating that 'in another embodiment of the present invention, the scan code generated by the external keyboard 18〇 can also be the scan sent by the remote device 8 201235887 PWKS-SW-0260-TWXX 36646twf. The doc/n code is used when the user wants to connect from the remote device to the local end and use the combination key instead of the Fn key to perform the device function. Thereafter, the processor 140 fills the parameter value 7 into the § memory 125 of the embedded controller 12 (step S208). In this embodiment, a bit group in the memory 125 of the embedded controller 12 is defined as the processor 14 according to an advanced configuration and power interface (advanced configUration an (ACPI)). 〇Application communication interface, processing =140 can fill the parameter value 7 into this byte, so that the inner and the rear controller can borrow the byte to get the parameter value 7, and accordingly perform the corresponding action. The embedded controller 12 is configured to transmit the scan code combined with the Wei key by the Fn key and the Wei key in the system memory 110 according to the program code, and transmit the scan code to the operating system of the processor (10) (also can be sent to the system). Control System Interrupt (SCI) or otherwise notify the operating system: 2: Send scan code or send SCI or otherwise notify the operating system S2r〇W, f^^ Fn ) For example, in the memory 11 In (), draw the force (10) F7 combined with the touch code, and pass the device function corresponding to the button (step m Γ key control panel. Step S212) 'For example, the method of touching the laptop's method ίϋ, t ^ The combination key set in the embodiment is as follows In another embodiment, the combination of the keys of the first aspect of the invention is not intended. Please also describe the setting part of the combination key in the present invention. The sum = 201235887 PWKS-SW-0260-TWXX 36646twf.doc/n The application is executed to display the setting interface 400 of the key combination (step S302), where the user can set the combination key to be used in place of the Fn key, for example, inputting Ctrl in the combination key block 402 and inputting Shift in the combination key block 404. The processor 140 receives the combination key (Ctrl+shift)' selected by the user in the setting interface 4, and uses the combination key instead of the Fn key (step S3〇4). It should be noted that the above setting interface 4 For example, the software button 406 corresponding to the combination of the key combination and the function key (such as Fn key + F7) is displayed (step S306). When the user clicks the software button 406, the processor 14 receives the software. The selection command of the button 406 is converted into a parameter value corresponding to the combination of the .Fn key and the function key (step S3〇8). In other words, the processor 140 directly converts the input of the software button 4〇6 into the Fn key + F 7 corresponds to a parameter value of 7 and is achievable Instead of the function of the Fn key, the configuration of the software button 406 provides a way to test the function of the Fn key or device outside the physical button, and can be selected by the user. The above combination key (Ctd+shift) and the soft button plum only do For the implementation of the example, without limiting the type or quantity. ~ '" not the above - the present invention proposes a method of using a combination key instead of the ^ key to perform the device Wei, suitable for the combination of the key on the keyboard instead of the f sub The Fn button on the built-in keyboard of the device. When there is no built-in keyboard, you can also test the function of the Fn key' and make the external keyboard reach the same function as the built-in keyboard of the brain, and the multi-function type built-in key (4) life. Qianke can also increase the amount of notes when using the keyboard. If you use an external keyboard, you can leave the screen of the notebook computer farther away. In addition, the function of the Fn button of the notebook computer can be distanced from 10 201235887 PWKS-SW-0260 -TWXX 36646twf.doc/n In order to reduce the risk of damage to the human body by the notebook computer, the economic benefit is considered, and the combination key is used instead of Fn° 22f. In other words, it is a saving of a key, which can be reduced. Compared with a normal keyboard, although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention to anyone having ordinary knowledge in the technical field.
