Description of the Invention: </ RTI> The present invention relates to a key input method, and more particularly to a key input method for a hidden direction control button. [Prior Art] The palm-sized portable devices such as the mobile phone, personal digital assistant (Persona) Digital Assi_t, . PDA) are equipped with buttons for input by the system. These buttons include digital/alphabet buttons and direction control. Buttons, as well as standard hitting keyboards (Qwerty) buttons, etc., and the configuration of these buttons can be mainly divided into two types. One is according to the user's needs, the direction control button and all the digital/alphabet buttons or the standard typing keyboard. The buttons are made into separate physical buttons and are placed on the same plane of the device. FIG. 2 and FIG. 2 respectively show the configuration diagrams of two conventional mobile phone keys. As can be seen from FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, the disadvantage of this configuration is that the area occupied by the keyboard is too large, and in the case where the area of the mobile phone needs to be reduced, As a result, the screen must be relatively reduced, and in today's electronic products, the appearance of light, thin, short, and small, but the screen size must be increased, this configuration has long been unable to meet the existing needs. Another type of knowledge: the key configuration juice is the physical button that only retains the direction control on the plane of the device. The rest of the digital/alphabatic keys or the standard typing keyboard buttons are displayed on the screen by software simulation. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 respectively show the configuration diagrams of two conventional mobile phone keys. As can be seen from FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , although this configuration can save a considerable space for the plane of the device, relatively large size can also be used. The screen, but encountered to enter the phone 5 1307Q^2tvf.doc/e ϊί:: In time, you must use the stylus to click, can not pass the finger 2 ^ This is missing the number / letter button for the user Fast. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Φ The purpose of the present invention is to provide a type of button input side of the body:: face input ' 'select drive all or represent the direction _, and combined with the virtual button displayed on the screen to achieve effective Know the effect of reducing the button area. For other purposes, the present invention provides a button input terminal t for the portable electronic device, the portable electronic device, the body button, and the screen, and the button input method includes the following steps.输入I input interface of the front interface, determine an input mode, in the second mode, drive all physical buttons to mention "tick-in; when the input mode is a second mode, only drive = I direction control f The physical button is used to provide the user to select the input; when the input mode is a third mode, all the physical buttons are driven, and a virtual button is displayed on the screen to provide the user to select the input. The key input method according to the present invention preferably includes a detection target: whether the input requirement of the interface changes, and if the input demand changes, the name is changed to ''nuclear' to drive the physical button. And/or display virtual buttons on the screen to provide input for the face selection. The key input method according to the present invention, wherein the first mode is compared to the sub/pre-roller mode, the second mode is preferably the direction control mode, and the first plate is preferably a digital/letter input and Direction control and use mode. I3〇70382wfd〇c/e=============================================================================================== : Escape key input method, wherein when the input mode is r Λ仏, it includes lighting the LED on the physical button ^ (4) on mg DlGde, led); #轮人模式 is the second mode ^ body is better including the point Light on the physical button of the direction control. The invention is further proposed as a type of button input device, which is arranged in the portable electronic j, which is adapted to be according to the input mode, and the input button is included in the device. The digital/alphabetic keyboard and the direction (four) keyboard, wherein the number of keyboards are arranged on the body of the portable electronic device, and the direction control 'keyboards are arranged and displayed on the screen of the portable electronic device. The key input is set to $, wherein the direction control keyboard 乂 drive' is combined with the touch display screen. _4^,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, And direction control keyboard Jia is located in Rongguan, # near digital / alphabet keyboard. The button input device of the present invention, the towel number / letter keyboard includes a multi-scale button with direction control Wei, these specific buttons include numbers / letters The 2, 8, 4, 6, and 5 buttons in the keyboard are respectively applied to the top, bottom, left, and right keys of the trait (four) Wei. 130703S wf.doc/e According to the present invention, the letter button is preferably used. The utility model comprises a knowing key wheeling device, wherein each number/time is illuminated. 9 no light, suitable for the function of the digital/letter button, the invention adopts the need of moving the ancient interface, and selects the structure of the i-control entity button. In conjunction with the current button on the screen for the user to input, only the virtual button that must be controlled by == = : can be used to make the present invention ift, "his purpose, features and advantages can be more obvious The two special materials application examples, together with the drawings, are described in detail. [Embodiment] The content of Shi Dai is a more detailed description. The following specific examples are taken as the present! s clarify the examples that can be implemented. ',, general mobile phone # for riding power (four) requirements are divided into three, the first kind is = need to close the number ^ word key or fresh typing _ (qwerty), the function of the key 'the second is only need _ direction control difficult The function of the key, the three types of the brother are both, and the single embodiment is used to introduce the operation mode of the portable electronic device in the three cases of the invention f. FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a method for inputting a key according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, the embodiment is applicable to a portable electronic device, and the portable electronic device can be a mobile phone or a personal digital assistant (Personal).
