Touch screen device with vibrating bracelet

The present invention relates to a touch screen device, and more particularly to a touch screen device having a vibrating wristband.

The vibrating touch screen device includes a touch panel and a vibration module connected to the touch panel. When the user's fingertip touches the touch panel, the vibration module generates vibration and interlocks the touch. The panel generates vibration, so that the user can perceive the vibration and understand that the touch action has been received by the touch panel, and the touch panel can be prevented from receiving the touch action due to the poor touch. But unknowingly wait for the response from the touch panel to occur.

However, although the vibrating touch screen device can generate vibration to remind the user, when the touch panel has a plurality of touch options for selection, since the vibrating touch screen device vibrates, the entire device is in the Vibration, so the user can not distinguish the difference of each touch option in the touch of the fingertip, especially when the user can not focus on the condition of the touch panel (such as the application of the driving navigation device), the user It will be impossible to determine if the correct touch option has been touched, which is inconvenient to use.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a touch screen device having a vibrating bracelet that can respond to corresponding functional components.

Therefore, the touch screen device with a vibrating bracelet includes a touch panel, a control unit, a user interface, an output module and at least one vibrating bracelet.

The control unit is electrically connected to the touch panel, and the user interface is displayed on the touch panel, and includes at least one functional component for a touch operation, the output module is electrically connected to the control unit and can be touched by the functional component At least one trigger signal is generated when the touch is generated. The vibration bracelet has a receiving module for receiving the trigger signal, and a vibration module electrically connected to the receiving module to generate vibration.

The function of the invention is that when the functional component is touched, the output module generates the trigger signal to drive the vibration bracelet to generate a corresponding vibration.

The above and other technical contents, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the preferred embodiment of the touch screen device with a vibrating wristband of the present invention is applied to a line navigation system, the device comprising a touch panel 2, a control unit 3, and a use The interface 4, an output module 5 and a vibrating bracelet 6.

In the embodiment, the touch panel 2 is a touch-type liquid crystal screen that is generally used on the market, and can display a screen and generate a touch signal when the screen is touched.

The control unit 3 is electrically connected to the touch panel 2 and the output module 5, and the screen of the user interface 4 is outputted to the touch panel 2, and the touch signal generated by the touch panel 2 can be received. After performing the corresponding action.

The user interface 4 is displayed on the touch panel 2, and the user interface 4 includes a map background 41 and four functional elements 42 for touch operation. The map background 41 has a current location 411 and a nearby map 412 adjacent to the current location 411. The functional elements 42 are respectively a map enlargement selection button 421 located at the upper left corner of the user interface 4, and a user interface. 4 in the upper right corner of the map zoom selection button 422, a special menu selection button 423 located in the lower left corner of the user interface 4, and a determination selection button 424 located in the lower right corner of the user interface 4.

The output module 5 is electrically connected to the control unit 3 and can generate corresponding four trigger signals V(n) when the functional elements 42 are touched. In the embodiment, the output module 5 has a wireless transmission function, and the trigger signals V(n) are wireless signals, and the trigger signals V(n) are respectively corresponding to the map enlargement selection button 421 and the map. The selection button 422, the special menu selection button 423, and the determination selection button 424 are reduced.

The vibration bracelet 6 has a receiving module 61 for receiving the trigger signals V(n), and is electrically connected to the receiving module 61 and receives the trigger signals V (n) at the receiving module 61. The vibration module 62 is generated after the vibration. In this embodiment, the vibrating bracelet 6 is sleeved on the user's index finger root, but may be other knuckles or wrists that are sleeved on the user.

The vibration mode of the vibration module 62 is respectively performed according to four vibration codes, and the vibration codes are different from each other and corresponding to the trigger signal V(n), each vibration code includes a set frequency and a set amplitude. To adjust the vibration mode of the vibration module 62. In this embodiment, the set amplitudes are adjusted to be the same, and the set frequencies are respectively adjusted to four levels to correspond to the equal trigger signal V(n), but the set frequencies may also be set to be the same. The set amplitudes are divided into four levels, and the set frequencies may be blended with the set amplitudes to suit the needs of the user.

When the user uses the present invention to navigate the vehicle, if it is necessary to adjust the display size of the nearby map 412 or leave the page and enter another page, the map enlargement selection button 421, the map reduction selection button 422, and One of the special menu selection buttons 423, the touch signal generated by the touch panel 2 drives the output module 5 to generate the trigger signal V(n) of the corresponding functional component 42 through the control unit 3, At this time, the receiving module 61 of the vibrating wristband 6 drives the vibration module 62 to generate vibration after receiving the trigger signal V(n), and drives the vibrating bracelet 6 to generate vibration according to the corresponding vibration code, and the user can It is determined whether the vibration code corresponds to the touched functional element 42.

When it is confirmed that the function element 42 touched is correct, the determination button 424 can be touched to confirm, and the vibration bracelet 6 generates a vibration code corresponding to the selection button 424 to notify the user. Conversely, when it is confirmed by the vibration that the touched functional element 42 is an error, the functional element 42 to be executed is re-touched.

It should be noted that the vibrating bracelet 6 can also be plural, and can be respectively received on the different fingers by receiving the trigger signals V(n), and are generated separately corresponding to different trigger signals V(n). Different vibration codes can increase the variability of the code for user identification.

Compared with the existing vibrating touch screen device, the present invention can provide more touch options in different vibration modes, instead of vibrating the entire device as in the vibrating touch screen device, especially when the user cannot concentrate. When the condition of the touch panel 2 is visually observed, the user will be more likely to operate.

In summary, when one of the functional components 42 is touched, the output module 5 generates a corresponding trigger signal V(n), and drives the vibrating wristband 6 to generate a corresponding trigger signal V ( The vibration code of n) reminds the user of the type of functional element 42 currently touched, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All remain within the scope of the invention patent.
