Among them, there are applications in electronic input devices, mainly GSR. However, the traditional electrophysiological signals are applied to the body through electrodes. These electrodes are mostly silver/vaporized silver. Another common material is stainless steel. However, whether it is silver/vaporized silver or stainless steel, in actual production, it must be connected through welding or through joints or wires. Both are inconvenient in production and use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an electronic input device having a physiological measuring electrode, including a housing, a control circuit, at least one physiological measuring electrode, and at least one conductive elastic body. Each conductive elastic body is disposed on the control circuit. The physiological measuring electrode is located on the surface of the housing, and at least one conductive column extends from one of the physiological measuring electrodes facing the inside of the housing, and each of the conductive electrodes is electrically connected to the conductive elastic body on the control circuit. It is electrically connected to a control circuit in the housing. 1331030 When a skin of a human body contacts a physiological measuring electrode, the physiological measuring electrode measures the physiological signal measured by the physiological measuring electrode, and transmits the conductive electrode to the control circuit through the conductive elastic body. So that the control circuit can process the received physiological signals. According to an embodiment of the invention, the physiological measuring electrode can be made of stainless steel or silver chloride, and the conductive column is integrally formed by welding or casting on the physiological measuring electrode, so that the conductive column must also be Features • Conductive properties. In addition, the above-mentioned physiological measuring electrode and the conductive column may also be formed by a material such as plastic which has no conductive property, and the conductive column and the physiological sensing electrode are integrally formed by injection molding, and then the surface is covered with a conductive outer layer, such as plating or splashing.

When the housing of the electronic input device is combined, the conductive poles of the physiological measuring electrode can be respectively inserted or abutted against the corresponding conductive elastic body, so that one side of each conductive elastic body can be combined with one of the control circuits The signal input point is electrically connected, and the other side is electrically connected to the conductive post. Since the conductive elastic body has a soft characteristic, the conductive pillars are respectively inserted or abutted against the conductive elastic body, and each conductive elastic body can fix the position of the conductive pillar to avoid temporary displacement due to the contact of the casing, and The noise generated by the displacement and friction is reduced, and each of the conductive elastic bodies can also support the conductive pillars, thereby reducing the force applied to the conductive pillars when the casing is pressed.

In addition, by electrically connecting the conductive column directly extending on the physiological measuring electrode to the control circuit, the complexity of the wire connected to the circuit of the electronic input device and the processing thereof can be saved, and the opportunity for line maintenance can be reduced. Moreover, the elastic conductor between the conductive post and the control circuit provides a buffering effect to avoid noise during the impedance and wear of the conductive column in direct contact with the control circuit. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The spirit of the present invention will be clearly described in the following description and the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, which can be modified and modified by the teachings of the present invention. The spirit and scope of the invention are not departed. The electronic input device of the present invention may be a mouse device, a keyboard device, a rocker device, a trackball device, a tablet device or a network telephone device, etc., and the present invention uses a mouse device as an example, and The interconnection relationship between the physiological sensing electrodes and other components is described in detail. 1 and 2, FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a mouse device with a physiological sensing electrode according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the mouse device of the present embodiment. The mouse device includes at least a shell 10, a control circuit 2, at least one physiological measuring electrode 30, and a conductive elastomer 4 (c〇nductive Elastomer). In this example, the physiological measuring electrode 3 can be a skin electrode. In this example, the housing 10 can be a combination of the upper housing, the lower housing or the other side trim fittings 7 cut 1030, and the physiological measuring electrodes 3 are respectively provided with a conductive characteristic of the housing ίο ( The physiological measuring electrode 30' for providing human skin contact, and the physiological measuring electrode 3 facing the housing, in the position of the surface of the upper shell, the lower shell, the left button of the movable left button or the side fitting of the bean side One of the inner surfaces of the ι〇 respectively extends at least one conductive pillar 301, and each of the conductive pillars 3〇1 respectively protrudes into the through hole 104 provided in the casing 10, and then passes through the conductive elastic bodies 4 on the control circuit 20 in the casing 1〇. 〇, electrically connected to the control circuit 2 such that each of the conductive elastic bodies 40 is disposed between the conductive post and the control circuit. More specifically, the physiological measuring electrodes 3 in this example can be inserted into the surface of the mouse device, and the nameplate is a graphic mark for decorating the appearance of the mouse device (eg, trademark, creative Pattern, decoration, etc.), the nameplate has two protruding posts on one side, which can be inserted on the surface of the casing 10 to serve as the conductive pillars 301. The control circuit 20 is provided with at least one signal processing unit on a circuit board 2〇1. 202, the signal input point 203 and the signal output point 204, each of the signal processing units 202 is electrically connected to each of the signal input points 203 and the signal output point 204, and each of the signal input points 203 is electrically connected to a conductive post 301. More specifically, one end of each of the conductive posts 301 is in contact with the corresponding signal input point 203 to transmit the physiological signal transmitted by the physiological measuring electrode 3 to the control circuit 20. When the user uses the mouse device, the skin contacts the at least one physiological measuring electrode 30 of the housing 1 , and the physiological measuring electrode 30 transmits the physiological signal transmitted by the user's skin to the physiological measuring electrode. The conductive post 3〇1 of 30 is transmitted to the touched signal input point 203, and the signal input point 203 transmits the 1331030 physiological signal to the control circuit 20, so that the control circuit 2 can convert the received physiological signal and The processing program is finally sent by the signal output point 204 in a wired manner (RS-232, USB, etc.) or wireless (RF, infrared, etc.) to an end (such as a PC, PDA, or mobile phone, etc.). It should be noted that the above-mentioned physiological measuring electrode 3 can be made of stainless steel or silver sulfide (AgC1), and the conductive column 3〇1 extended by the physiological measuring electrode 30 can be Integrally formed by welding or casting on the physiological measuring electrode 3〇 to simplify the electrical connection between the physiological measuring electrode 30 and the conductive column 301; or, the physiological measuring electrode 30 and the conductive column 301 It can be made of plastic materials, such as: Extruded Polyethylene (EPE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polystyrene (PS), Expanded Poly (EPP), etc. The material is formed on the physiological measuring electrode 30 by means of injection molding, and the surface of the physiological measuring electrode 30 and the conductive column 3〇1 is covered with a conductive outer layer (eg, through Mineral or silver), therefore, even if the physiological measuring electrode 30 and the conductive post 301 are made of plastic material, they can have conductive characteristics. In general, the graphic mark formed on the casing 10 does not have any additional functions other than the identification or decorative function. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the graphic mark is combined with the physiological measuring electrode 3 which can be used as the electro-sensitive response. The function, so that when the physiological measuring electrode 30 is a graphic mark inserted on the electronic input device 1, the electronic input device 1 does not need to be provided with a special physiological measuring electrode 30 to achieve physiological sensing and sensing. The effect not only simplifies the design on the electronic input device 1, but also increases the space available on the surface of the electronic input device 1331030, and maintains a better appearance. In addition, since the conductive post 3〇1 of the physiological measuring electrode 30 abuts against the signal input point 203, the cap 鳢1〇 is often touched, and the conductive post 301 is in contact with one end of the signal input point 2〇3. A slight temporary displacement causes physical friction, which not only causes a slight wear on one end of the conductive post 3〇1, but also causes noise or poor contact in the physiological signal during transmission. The embodiment of the invention preferably includes a plurality of conductive elastomers 〇 disposed on each of the signal input points 203 as a buffer between the conductive pillars 〇1 and the signal input point 203 to avoid the conductive pillars 3〇1 and the signal input points. 2〇3 After repeated rubbing, the wear of the conductive post 3〇1 is gradually generated, or the noise occurs due to friction.” One side of the conductive elastomer 40 and the corresponding signal input point are respectively shown in FIG. 203 is electrically connected to each other, wherein each of the conductive pillars 301 of the physiological measuring electrode 3 can be inserted or abutted against the conductive_elastomer 40 on the corresponding signal input point 2〇3, so that the conductive elastic body 4 is soft. Characteristics of each conductive column After the 301 is inserted or abutted against the conductive elastic body 4, the conductive elastic bodies 40 can fix the position of the conductive pillars 301, thereby avoiding temporary displacement due to the contact pressure of the casing 1 and reducing displacement and friction. The conductive elastomer 40 can also support the conductive pillars 3〇1 to slow down the force when the casing 10 is pressed. The conductive elastomer 40 is not limited to Conductive Rubber and conductive sponge ( Conductive F〇am) or conductive foam (Conductive Foam Gasket), as long as the conductive elastic 1331030 body 40 can be inserted or abutted after the conductive post 301, to avoid temporary displacement of the conductive post 3〇1 and reduce noise, And providing the support for each of the conductive posts 3〇1, slowing down the force when the casing 10 is pressed, so that the direction of the embodiment is disclosed and protected. In the actual product assembly, the body-formed physiological measuring electrode 30 and the conductive post 301 can be directly inserted from the outside after the outer casing is assembled. Reducing the conventional electrode ' must be in the assembly process, the pull wire, the wire, etc. In the following, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications and refinements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
