[Background of the Invention] The touch pad has been widely used in many information products, for example: a handwriting input board is an input tool using the touchpad as a handwriting wheel-in method; a notebook computer Equipped with a touchpad to replace the traditional mechanical mouse, to control the movement of the cursor, pull-down scroll, or even to replace the traditional mechanical mouse button click (cl ick) or double-click (d⑽ cl ick) function . The above-mentioned keyboards equipped with character input devices such as English letters and digital computers are most similar to the keyboards of ordinary desktop personal 102-key keyboards. , Still not [the purpose of the invention and information products with a touchpad, most of them also have a keyboard, for users to enter a variety of characters, or punctuation marks, etc., and among them take notes The type is ugly field, and this is just the official case. The # set of the notebook computer's keyboard computer (Personal Computer, pC) is still short-press some, for example, mark the keypad. Therefore, when such information products are funded, they feel a little inconvenient for those who are used to the standard 102 keyboard. Description] A type of information such as a personal digital assistant can be input through a touch panel. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a one-character method to improve a notebook computer,
