The coil 341 of the wireless power receiver 340 may be disposed on the foldable upper cover 350 to receive the wireless energy 110 emitted by the tablet 200.
可折式上蓋350可以任何方式實現之。例如,於本實施例中,可折式上蓋350包括第一區段351以及第二區段352。請參照圖5至圖7,無線電源接收器340的線圈341可以設置於可折式上蓋350的第一區段351。平板電腦200可以被配置於第一區段351上。在此實施例中並不限制平板電腦200連接至第一區段351的手段。例如,第一區段351可能藉由卡榫、彈性爪勾、磁吸、滑軌、黏貼、螺絲或其他手段連接至平板電腦200。當平板電腦200被連接於第一區段351上時,由於平板電腦200的線圈243與無線鍵盤300的線圈341相互靠近(如圖4所示),使得線圈341可以接收平板電腦200的線圈243所發出的無線電能110。線圈341所接收的電能可以供電給無線鍵盤300。 The foldable upper cover 350 can be implemented in any manner. For example, in the present embodiment, the foldable upper cover 350 includes a first section 351 and a second section 352. Referring to FIGS. 5-7 , the coil 341 of the wireless power receiver 340 may be disposed on the first section 351 of the foldable upper cover 350 . The tablet 200 can be configured on the first section 351. The means by which the tablet 200 is connected to the first section 351 is not limited in this embodiment. For example, the first section 351 may be coupled to the tablet 200 by a cassette, a resilient hook, a magnetic attraction, a slide rail, a sticker, a screw, or other means. When the tablet 200 is connected to the first section 351, since the coil 243 of the tablet 200 and the coil 341 of the wireless keyboard 300 are close to each other (as shown in FIG. 4), the coil 341 can receive the coil 243 of the tablet 200. The emitted radio energy 110. The electrical energy received by coil 341 can be supplied to wireless keyboard 300.
第二區段352連接第一區段351與鍵盤主體360的所述第一側。其中,第一區段351與第二區段352之間具有第一樞軸。第一區段351能沿該第一樞軸相對於第二區段352旋轉而使可折 式上蓋350呈現彎折狀。第二區段352與鍵盤主體360的所述第一側之間具有第二樞軸。第二區段352能沿該第二樞軸相對於鍵盤主體360旋轉。 The second section 352 connects the first section 351 with the first side of the keyboard body 360. There is a first pivot between the first section 351 and the second section 352. The first section 351 is rotatable relative to the second section 352 along the first pivot to be foldable The upper cover 350 is bent. The second section 352 has a second pivot between the first side of the keyboard body 360. The second section 352 is rotatable relative to the keyboard body 360 along the second pivot.
磁鐵370可以鑲嵌於可折式上蓋350的第二區段352。磁鐵370用以觸發平板電腦200進入省電模式。磁力感應裝置250可以配置在平板電腦200的背面。磁力感應裝置250(例如霍爾感測器或是其他感測器)電性耦接至平板電腦200的處理器210。處理器210可以透過磁力感應裝置250感測磁鐵370是否接近/遠離平板電腦200。因此,平板電腦200可以透過磁力感應裝置250感測可折式上蓋350的第二區段352是否接近/遠離平板電腦200。當將平板電腦200置於可折式上蓋350時,可折式上蓋350的第一區段351連接平板電腦200的背面。當可攜式電腦100處於開啟狀態時,平板電腦200因屬於站立狀態而使可折式上蓋350的第二區段352遠離平板電腦200(如圖6至圖7所示)。此時,平板電腦200可以依據磁力感應裝置250的感測結果而從省電模式(例如顯示面板關閉態、睡眠態、休眠狀態或其他)回復至正常操作狀態。 The magnet 370 can be embedded in the second section 352 of the foldable upper cover 350. The magnet 370 is used to trigger the tablet 200 to enter the power saving mode. The magnetic induction device 250 can be disposed on the back of the tablet 200. The magnetic sensing device 250 (eg, a Hall sensor or other sensor) is electrically coupled to the processor 210 of the tablet 200. The processor 210 can sense whether the magnet 370 is approaching/away from the tablet 200 through the magnetic sensing device 250. Therefore, the tablet 200 can sense whether the second section 352 of the foldable upper cover 350 is approaching/away from the tablet 200 through the magnetic sensing device 250. When the tablet 200 is placed on the foldable top cover 350, the first section 351 of the foldable top cover 350 connects the back of the tablet 200. When the portable computer 100 is in the on state, the tablet 200 is moved away from the tablet 200 by the second section 352 of the foldable upper cover 350 (as shown in FIGS. 6 to 7). At this time, the tablet 200 can return from the power saving mode (for example, the display panel off state, the sleep state, the sleep state, or the like) to the normal operation state according to the sensing result of the magnetic sensing device 250.
請參照圖8A至圖8D,其說明可攜式電腦100從開啟狀態至關閉狀態的側視示意圖。當平板電腦200以其顯示面面向鍵盤主體360而重疊於鍵盤主體360上時,可折式上蓋350與鍵盤主體360分別覆蓋平板電腦200的相對兩側(顯示面與背面),使平板電腦200夾置於可折式上蓋350與鍵盤主體360之間,如圖9 所示。此時,可折式上蓋350與鍵盤主體360可以保護平板電腦200免除刮傷或碰撞。另一方面,當可攜式電腦100處於關閉狀態時,可折式上蓋350的第二區段352接近平板電腦200(如圖9所示)。此時,平板電腦200可以依據磁力感應裝置250的感測結果而從正常操作狀態自動進入省電模式(例如顯示面板關閉態、睡眠態、休眠狀態或其他)。 8A to 8D, a side view of the portable computer 100 from an open state to a closed state is illustrated. When the tablet computer 200 is superimposed on the keyboard main body 360 with its display surface facing the keyboard main body 360, the foldable upper cover 350 and the keyboard main body 360 respectively cover opposite sides (display surface and back surface) of the tablet computer 200, so that the tablet computer 200 is provided. The clip is placed between the foldable upper cover 350 and the keyboard body 360, as shown in FIG. Shown. At this time, the foldable upper cover 350 and the keyboard main body 360 can protect the tablet 200 from scratches or collisions. On the other hand, when the portable computer 100 is in the closed state, the second section 352 of the foldable upper cover 350 approaches the tablet 200 (as shown in FIG. 9). At this time, the tablet 200 can automatically enter the power saving mode (for example, the display panel off state, the sleep state, the sleep state, or the like) from the normal operation state according to the sensing result of the magnetic sensing device 250.
圖10是依照本發明實施例說明平板電腦200的操作流程示意圖。圖10所示實施例可以參照圖1至圖9的相關說明而類推之。於步驟S1005中,平板電腦200進入正常操作狀態,例如被開機或離開休眠狀態。於步驟S1010中,圖2B所示開關244為不導通狀態。步驟S1015可以判斷磁鐵370是否接近/遠離磁力感應裝置250。當磁鐵370依然接近磁力感應裝置250時,開關244保持於不導通狀態。當磁力感應裝置250偵測到磁鐵370的磁力消失時,步驟S1020被執行。 FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the operation of the tablet computer 200 according to an embodiment of the invention. The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 can be analogized with reference to the related description of FIGS. 1 through 9. In step S1005, the tablet 200 enters a normal operating state, for example, being powered on or leaving a sleep state. In step S1010, the switch 244 shown in FIG. 2B is in a non-conducting state. Step S1015 can determine whether the magnet 370 is approaching/away from the magnetic sensing device 250. When the magnet 370 is still close to the magnetic induction device 250, the switch 244 remains in a non-conducting state. When the magnetic induction device 250 detects that the magnetic force of the magnet 370 has disappeared, step S1020 is performed.
於步驟S1020中,平板電腦200透過觸控顯示面板提示訊息以詢問使用者是否需要使用無線鍵盤300。若步驟S1020判斷使用者不需要使用無線鍵盤300,則步驟S1030被執行。當使用者選擇使用無線鍵盤300時,圖2B所示開關244為導通狀態(步驟S1025)。此時,平板電腦200可以產生無線電能110以供電給無線鍵盤300。 In step S1020, the tablet 200 prompts a message through the touch display panel to inquire whether the user needs to use the wireless keyboard 300. If it is determined in step S1020 that the user does not need to use the wireless keyboard 300, step S1030 is executed. When the user selects to use the wireless keyboard 300, the switch 244 shown in FIG. 2B is in an on state (step S1025). At this time, the tablet 200 can generate the wireless power 110 to supply power to the wireless keyboard 300.
步驟S1030可以判斷磁鐵370是否接近/遠離磁力感應裝置250。當磁力感應裝置250偵測不到磁鐵370的磁力時,開關 244保持於導通狀態。當磁鐵370接近磁力感應裝置250時,步驟S1035被執行。於步驟S1035中,圖2B所示開關244為不導通狀態。 Step S1030 can determine whether the magnet 370 is approaching/away from the magnetic sensing device 250. When the magnetic induction device 250 does not detect the magnetic force of the magnet 370, the switch 244 remains in the conducting state. When the magnet 370 approaches the magnetic induction device 250, step S1035 is performed. In step S1035, the switch 244 shown in FIG. 2B is in a non-conducting state.
綜上所述,本發明實施例所述平板電腦200配置了無線電源傳送器240。由於平板電腦200的無線電源傳送器240可以提供無線電能110給無線鍵盤300,因此無線鍵盤300可以無線電源接收器340取代電池。沒有電池的無線鍵盤300可以至少獲得成本降低、輕量化等好處。再者,沒有電池的無線鍵盤300因為不需充電而不用配置電源接頭於鍵盤本體360表面。因為鍵盤本體360表面沒有電源接頭,使得沒有電池的無線鍵盤300可進一步提升其防水性能。 In summary, the tablet 200 of the embodiment of the present invention is configured with a wireless power transmitter 240. Since the wireless power transmitter 240 of the tablet 200 can provide the wireless power 110 to the wireless keyboard 300, the wireless keyboard 300 can replace the battery with the wireless power receiver 340. The wireless keyboard 300 without a battery can at least obtain the benefits of cost reduction, weight reduction, and the like. Moreover, the wireless keyboard 300 without the battery does not need to be charged without the power connector being disposed on the surface of the keyboard body 360. Since the surface of the keyboard body 360 has no power connector, the wireless keyboard 300 without the battery can further improve its waterproof performance.
