Please refer to both Figure 1 and Figure 2. 1 is a block diagram of a peripheral device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows the operation of the peripheral device Schematic diagram of the body. As shown, the peripheral device 100 has a control unit 102 and an operating body 104. The operating body 104 is electrically connected to the control unit 102 and includes a button region layer 202, a capacitive sensing layer 204, and a resistance switch layer 206. The button area layer 202 is used to display a keyboard layout for operation. The capacitive sensing layer 204 has a plurality of staggered XY electrodes (indicated by X1~XN, Y1~YM, where N and M are positive integers greater than 1) and placed under the button area layer 202, by scanning the electrodes. The motion trajectory of the user's finger is detected substantially horizontally, and the user's operation gesture can be recognized later according to the motion trajectory. The resistor switch layer 206 is disposed under the button area layer 202, and has a plurality of independent switches for detecting a substantially vertical pressing operation of the user's finger at different positions, and generating a pressing signal corresponding to the pressed position according to the pressing operation. .

In one example, peripheral device 100 communicates with host 106 in a wired or wireless manner. By superimposing the button area layer 202, the capacitive sensing layer 204 and the resistance switch layer 206 on the operating body 104, the user can easily perform a computer equivalent to a keyboard or a mouse through the button layout displayed by the button area layer 202. Peripheral device operation. Taking the button layout as a standard keyboard layout as an example, the user can press the button pattern in the button layout substantially vertically to cause the resistance switch layer 206 to generate a corresponding pressing signal to perform corresponding keyboard operations on the host 106 (for example, performing typing) Enter). In addition, the user can also operate the stylus or the finger to slide substantially horizontally on the button area layer 202, so that the capacitive sensing layer 204 generates a corresponding gesture track to perform a gesture operation similar to the mouse function on the host 106.

The host 106 described above is, for example, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, or other electronic device that can execute a general application. The control unit 102 of the peripheral device 100 is, for example, a processor or other electronic computing device that can control the operating body 104. The button area layer 202 of the operating body 104 includes, for example, an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) layer, and the corresponding button layout can be displayed according to the control signal sent by the control unit 102. The plurality of electrodes of the capacitance sensing layer 204 include, for example, a plurality of column electrodes X1 to XN and a plurality of row electrodes Y1 to YM. The column electrodes X1 to XN are arranged, for example, orthogonally to the row electrodes Y1 to YM. The control unit 102 detects the user's operation gesture by scanning the column electrodes X1 X XN and the row electrodes Y1 Y YM respectively. The resistance switch layer 206 includes, for example, a plurality of switching elements that are turned on in response to pressing an external force to generate a pressing signal.

In an example of an application, the capacitive sensing layer 204 can detect the touch force of the operating gesture. When the operation gesture is a single-touch gesture and the touch force is less than a touch threshold (for example, an external force of about 60 grams (g)), the left button representing the mouse is operated. Conversely, when the operation gesture is a multi-touch gesture and the touch force is less than the touch threshold, the right mouse button is operated. In this way, as long as the touch force of the user is less than the threshold value, the click operation of the left button and the right button of the mouse can be performed directly on the button operation layer 202.

Applicants have found that when the operating body 104 is pressed with a certain force (for example, a force greater than 60 g), the capacitive sensing layer 204 and the resistive switching layer 206 are simultaneously generated to generate a gesture track and a pressing signal. Due to these two signals Corresponding to the gesture operation (similar to the mouse operation) and the keyboard operation, in order to avoid the occurrence of malfunction (for example, when the text input, the text input point is offset by the gesture track) and the difficulty of the program judgment is reduced. The following three embodiments are supplemented to further integrate the gesture operation function for the peripheral device 100 and the keyboard operation function.

First embodiment

Referring to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the button area layer 202 defines a first operation area 302, a second operation area 304, and a modifier key area 306. A modifier key such as a Shift Key, a Ctrl Key, and an Alt Key is located in the modifier key area 306, and the second operation area is a partial area of the first operation area. When the resistive switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation corresponding to any of the modifier keys in the modifier key region 306, the control unit 102 causes the capacitive sensing layer 204 to detect only the operation gesture of the region other than the modifier key region 306 to generate a gesture. The trajectory, for example, only detects the second operating area 304. Conversely, when the resistive switching layer 206 does not detect a pressing operation corresponding to any of the modifier keys, the control unit 102 causes the capacitive sensing layer 204 to detect an operation gesture covering the entire first operating region 302 to generate a gesture trajectory. In this way, when the user wants to select a plurality of files of the host 106 by clicking the operation gesture in accordance with the modifier key (such as the Ctrl key or the Shift key) in the first operation area 302, the user can select (or drag and drop) the operation file. When the copy operation is performed, the control unit 102 causes the capacitive sensing layer 204 to detect only the operation gestures located in the second operation area 304. Therefore, only the key operation function is modified in the modifier key area 306. The key area 306 does not simultaneously generate any gesture track signals. Therefore, the embodiment can effectively reduce the difficulty of the program to judge the operation of the modifier key.

Further, in this embodiment, when the resistive switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation corresponding to any of the modifier keys in the modifier key region 306, the control unit 102 causes the (1) resistance switch layer 206 to remain detected throughout The pressing operation in the first operating area 302 generates a pressing signal, and (2) the capacitive sensing layer detects only the operation gesture of the area outside the modified key area 306 to generate a gesture track, for example, detecting only the second operating area 304. In this way, the program can determine the combined operation performed by the matching modifier key according to the pressing signal corresponding to the first operating area and the gesture trajectory corresponding to the second operating area.

Please refer to FIG. 3, which illustrates an example of a first operation area and a second operation area defined by the button area layer 202. As shown in FIG. 3, the first operation area 302 is the sum of the second operation area 304 and the modifier key area 306, that is, the second operation area 304 is the first operation area 302 except the modifier key area 306 is excluded. The region of the modifier is located in the modifier key region 306. In this example, the second operating area 304 includes 26 alphanumeric keys and ten numeric keys. The modified key area 306 is an L-shaped area extending to the left and below of the second operating area 304. The L-shaped area includes Modifier keys, such as: Shift Key, Control Key (Ctrl Key), and Replace Key (Alt Key).

Please refer to FIG. 4, which shows a block diagram of the control unit 102. As shown in FIG. 4, the control unit 102 includes a capacitive sensing layer control module 402 and a resistance switch layer control module 404. The capacitive sensing layer control module 402 is used to control the capacitance The electrode of the sensing layer 204. The resistance switch layer control module 404 is configured to provide a pressing position signal to the capacitive sensing layer control module 404 according to the pressing operation detected by the resistance switch layer 206. When the control unit 102 finds that the pressed position signal is located in the modifier key area 306, the capacitive sensing layer control module 402 selectively closes the corresponding to the modified key area 306 according to the pressed position signal (including corresponding to the pressed modification). A portion of the row electrode and a portion of the column electrode are left in position, and a portion of the row electrode and the portion of the column electrode remaining in the activated state correspond to the second operating region 304.

For example, when the resistive switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation corresponding to the modifier key (such as the Ctrl key in the lower left corner of the keyboard layout of FIG. 3), the control unit 102 can close the detected position according to the pressing operation. A portion of the row electrode and a portion of the column electrode corresponding to the modified key position are stopped to stop scanning the operation gesture corresponding to the modified key region 306 (including the position corresponding to the pressed modifier key). As such, the capacitive sensing layer 204 will only generate corresponding gesture trajectories for the operational gestures detected on the regions that are not stopped for scanning (eg, the second operational region 304).

In another example, when the resistive switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation corresponding to the modifier key, the control unit 102 closes the position corresponding to the position of the modifier key according to the position detected by the pressing operation. Row electrodes and a portion of the column electrodes. For example, assume that the position of a certain modifier key corresponds to the row electrodes Y3 to Y6 and the column electrodes X3 to X6, when the resistance switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation corresponding to the modifier key (this pressing operation corresponds, for example, to In the position of the row electrodes Y3~Y6 and the column electrodes X3~X6, the control unit 102 closes the position of the row electrode corresponding to the position of the modifier key according to the position detected by the pressing operation (for example, the row electrode) Y3~Y6) and some column electrodes (for example, column electrodes X3~X6).

In brief, the control unit 102 can correspond to the partial column electrode and the partial row electrode of the modified key region 306 by turning off the capacitive sensing layer 204, so as to detect only the operation gesture on the second operating region 304.

Further, in the present embodiment, after the pressing operation ends for more than a predetermined period of time (for example, 1 millisecond (msec)), the control unit 102 may reopen the portion of the row electrode corresponding to the closed area of the modifier key region 306 and the closed portion. electrode. As shown in FIG. 3, after the pressing operation ends for more than a predetermined period of time, the control unit 102 can re-open the closed row electrode and the closed portion of the column electrode, so that the button region layer 202 can detect the touch gesture. The operating region is restored from the smaller second operating region 304 back to the larger first operating region 302.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a method of operating a peripheral device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This method of operation includes the following steps. First, in step S502, the resistance switch layer 206 detects whether there is a pressing operation corresponding to any modifier key. Next, in step S504, when the resistive switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation corresponding to any of the modifier keys, the control unit 102 excludes the modifier key region 306, so that the capacitive sensing layer 204 only detects the second sensing region 304. The gesture is manipulated to generate a gesture trajectory. Alternatively, in step S506, when the resistive switching layer 206 does not detect a pressing operation corresponding to any modifier key, the control unit 102 causes the capacitive sensing layer 204 to detect an operation gesture located in the complete first operating region 302 to generate a gesture track. .

In summary, the peripheral device of the embodiment can prevent the simultaneous generation of the hand in the pressed modifier key region by selectively closing the electrode of the capacitive sensing layer. The potential track and the pressing signal effectively reduce the difficulty of the program to determine the operation of the modifier key.

Second embodiment

In this embodiment, when the operating body 104 receives an external force to cause the resistive switch layer 206 to detect a pressing operation, and the capacitive sensing layer 204 thus generates an external trajectory to generate a gesture trajectory having a length less than a predetermined length, the control unit 102 The host 106 outputs the push signal, but the control unit 102 does not output the gesture track to the host 106. In this way, when the user wants to input text, even if the gesture track is generated together with the pressing signal during the pressing of the button, since the gesture track less than a certain length is ignored, the embodiment can effectively avoid text input. The point or cursor position is affected by the gesture track. Moreover, it will be understood that this embodiment can be combined with other embodiments described in this specification.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which illustrates a schematic diagram of a user operating on the button area layer 202 and generating a gesture track of length S1 . As shown in Fig. 6, a certain button in the button layout 602 (indicated by a thick frame in the drawing) is pressed. Further, when the external force exceeds a pressing threshold (eg, a force of approximately 60 g), the resistive switching layer 206 will be turned on and a pressing operation is detected. At this time, because the position of the pressing operation detected by the resistance switch layer 206 corresponds to the one button, the pressing signal output by the control unit 102 to the host 106 is the key code corresponding to the button. For example, assuming that the pressed button is the letter key "W", the control unit 102 outputs a key code corresponding to the letter key "W" to the host 106.

Since the position of the applied force is usually not fixed to the desired key input point when the user presses the button (for example, the finger may have a slight amount of sliding when the button is pressed), the gesture trajectory is often accompanied. As shown in Fig. 6, the length of the trajectory of the gesture in the letter key "W" is the length S1. When the length S1 is less than a length preset value, the control unit 102 will not output the gesture track to the host 106. The length preset value is about 3 mm to 5 mm, but it can be understood that the preset length value in the embodiment can be based on the size of the button pattern or the key cap area in the keyboard layout. Adjustment, for example, as long as it does not exceed one-third of the button pattern or the width of the keycap area.

Please refer to FIG. 7 , which shows that when the resistance switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation at a time point t _R , the control unit 102 will not output (or ignore) the host 106 for a period T from the time point t _R . (ie, the time trajectory from time point t _R to time point t _l ). As a result, when the user presses the button with a finger (or stylus), the slight displacement generated will not cause an unnecessary shift in the position of the button input point.

In another example, control unit 102 may ignore gesture trajectories that include one of the time points t _R . For example, before the control unit 102 ignores time-based one particular time period t _R t _p- t _R (control unit 102 is still processing the gesture track, yet the processing result is output to the host 106), and the time point t _R The gesture trajectory generated by one of the specific time periods t _R- t _l thereafter. In this way, even if the capacitive sensing layer 204 is touched during the button press to generate an unnecessary gesture track, the control unit 102 can ignore it to avoid the position of the button input point being affected.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a method of operating a peripheral device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This method of operation includes the following steps. First, in step S802, the resistance switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation at the time point Tr, and at the same time, the capacitive sensing layer 204 detects a user gesture operation. Next, in step S804, it is determined whether the gesture track length is less than a preset value. If yes, the control unit outputs the pressed signal detected in the preset T within a preset time period T from the time point Tr, but does not output the detected gesture track (step S806). If not, the control unit 102 outputs the detected press signal and gesture track (step S808). In step S806, the control unit may stop detecting the gesture track by (1) turning off the capacitive sensing layer 204, or (2) ignoring the gesture track detected by the capacitive sensing layer 204, both of which can be achieved. Output the role of the gesture track.

In summary, in this embodiment, if the length of the gesture track accompanying the user pressing the button is less than a length preset value, the control unit 102 determines that the user wants to perform key input instead of performing a mouse-like operation. The gesture operation, so the accompanying gesture trajectory is ignored to avoid the key input point being offset by the gesture trajectory.

Third embodiment

In this embodiment, when (a) the gesture track length is greater than a preset value, or (b) the gesture track is one of a multi-touch gesture, if the resistance switch layer 206 simultaneously detects When the pressing operation is detected, the control unit 102 does not output the pressing signal corresponding to the resistance switch layer 206 to the host 106. Therefore, this implementation For example, the user can effectively distinguish the user from performing a keyboard operation or a gesture operation. When the user performs a gesture operation, the communication number of the unnecessary keyboard pressing operation generated by the gesture operation can be appropriately ignored. Moreover, it will be understood that this embodiment can be combined with other embodiments described in this specification.

Please refer to FIG. 9 , which illustrates a schematic diagram of a user performing a gesture track on the button area layer 202 and generating a length S2 . As shown in FIG. 9, the button layout 902 has a plurality of buttons, and the length S2 of the gesture track is greater than the distance D between the center points of two adjacent buttons. Taking the spacing D (for example, about 18 mm) as a preset value, since the length S2 of the gesture track is greater than the preset value, the control unit 102 will close the resistance switch layer 206, so that the resistance switch layer 206 cannot generate a pressing. Signal. In other words, in the case that the length of the gesture track is greater than a predetermined value, the control unit 102 determines that the user performs a gesture operation (for example, sliding with a long track by a finger) instead of a button operation, thereby correspondingly closing the resistance switch layer. 206 (interrupts the power supply of the resistance switch layer 206, or the control unit 102 ignores the signal from the resistance switch layer 206 without outputting the corresponding word signal to the host 106) to avoid erroneous operation of the input key characters due to gesture operations. The preset value is not limited to the distance between two adjacent button center points, and the preset value may also be smaller than the distance between two adjacent button center points.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing a method of operating a peripheral device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. This method of operation includes the following steps. First, in step S1002, the resistance switch layer 206 detects a pressing operation, and at the same time, the capacitive sensing layer 204 detects a user gesture operation. Next, in step S1004, it is determined whether the gesture track length is less than a preset value. If yes, then it is determined whether the gesture track is a single point contact Gesture (step S1006). If not, the control unit 102 outputs a gesture track, but does not output a press signal (step S1008). Further, when the determined result at step S1006 is YES, the control unit 102 outputs a press signal, but does not output a gesture trajectory (step S1010). When the determined result of step S1006 is negative, step S1008 is next performed. It can be understood that although steps S1004 and S1006 in FIG. 10 are sequentially executed, in other examples, the execution order of steps S1004 and S1006 may be interchanged or simultaneously performed. In step S1008, the control unit may stop detecting the pressing signal by (1) closing the resistance switch layer 206, or (2) ignoring the pressing signal detected by the resistance switch layer 206, both of which can be achieved. Output the effect of pressing the signal. Similarly, in step S1010, the control unit may stop detecting the gesture track by (1) turning off the capacitive sensing layer 204, or (2) ignoring the gesture track detected by the capacitive sensing layer 204, both of which can Achieve the effect of not outputting a gesture track.

Please refer to Figures 11A and 11B. FIG. 11A is a schematic diagram showing a multi-point contact gesture in which the button area layer 202 performs a zoom in and zoom out operation gesture. FIG. 11B is a schematic diagram showing a multi-point contact gesture in which the button area layer 202 is subjected to a rotation operation gesture. In this embodiment, as long as the control unit 102 determines that the user is applying the multi-point contact operation gesture as described above to the button area layer 202, the resistance switch layer 206 is turned off regardless of whether the length of the gesture track is greater than a preset value. To avoid the generation of pressing signals. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in addition to operation gestures such as zooming in, zooming out, and rotating, a multi-point operation gesture corresponding to other touch functions may be applied to the present embodiment.

In summary, the peripheral device of the embodiment of the present invention can effectively avoid the malfunction that may occur when the user performs a gesture operation (similar to a mouse operation) and/or a keyboard operation by using different judgment conditions and corresponding controls. And can reduce the difficulty of program judgment.
