Information terminal device

The present invention relates to an information terminal device, especially an information terminal device suitable for being implemented in the form of a watch.

With the advancement of semiconductors, watch-sized devices have gradually become capable of various functions. Taking one of the devices as an example, in addition to being used as a clock to display the time, it can also be used as a pedometer. If it is a multifunctional device, it can even obtain the user's heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen concentration and other biological information. However, the current situation is that it is difficult to directly manipulate the information obtained through the above-mentioned methods. In other words, it is difficult to use the data obtained only through the above-mentioned methods. In fact, the current practice is to transfer the data to a smartphone before it can be used effectively. subsequent use.

In addition, among other example devices, there is also a watch-sized device with the function of a wearable terminal, for example, the device can notify incoming emails or display content within a small number of words. However, due to the limitation of screen size (ie dial size), this type of device can do limited things. For example, it is difficult to read long emails, display a high amount of information like browsing a web page, or watch the display screen. Touch panel input operation and other functions.

Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes a wristwatch with an information terminal function. The wristwatch has an information terminal function. By folding the screen into two halves and opening it again during use, the display screen can be enlarged approximately twice. However, the problem of Patent Document 1 is that, since a folding screen is used, the hinge existing between the two screens may break the continuity of the screen.

In view of this, the inventor of the present application proposed Patent Document 2 in advance. Patent Document 2 discloses a wristwatch type information terminal device in which the movable end side of the film-shaped input/output portion is exposed from the dial portion of the main body, and the proximal end side of the input/output portion is accommodated in the main body in a curled state by being pulled out and unfolded. , thereby expanding the area of the input and output parts.

FIG. 1 shows a state when it is used as a wristwatch, FIG. 2 shows a state when it is used as an information terminal device, and FIG. 3 shows a state when it is changed between FIGS. 1 and 2 . FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the information terminal device 1 . In order to simplify the drawings, the wristband 2 when used as a watch is only shown in FIG. 1 , and is omitted from other illustrations. Although the information terminal device 1 in FIGS. 1 to 4 is of a watch type as an example, the present invention can also be implemented in portable information terminal devices such as game machines and mobile phones.

When the information terminal device 1 of this embodiment is used as a wristwatch, the time is displayed on the dial portion 11 . In addition to this, the dial portion 11 can also appropriately display seconds, date, day of the week, Gregorian calendar and other information, or switch the display mode, so that the dial portion 11 displays information such as steps, blood pressure and heartbeat measured by a biosensor (not shown). The aforementioned mode switching is basically performed through the touch sensor provided on the dial part 11, but parts such as a crown or buttons can also be appropriately arranged on the side of the base body 3 and other parts, and through these parts switch.

As shown in detail in FIG. 4 , the information terminal device 1 of this embodiment roughly includes a base body 3 , an input/output portion 4 , a support member 5 , a first guide member 6 and a second guide member 7 . The input/output portion 4 is in the shape of a belt and a film, and has a pair of sides 41 and 42 parallel to each other, so as to realize at least a part of the functions of the display and/or input operation of the information terminal device 1 . When the roughly half surface 43 of the pair of sides 41 and 42 that is closer to the direction 40 faces the user, the input and output portion 4 will be folded in half as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 to achieve certain functions; When the input and output parts are unfolded as shown in FIG. 2 and the entire surface faces the user, all functions can be realized. The two use states can be switched between each other.

As described above, the input/output portion 4 is formed in a film shape and has a pair of sides 41 and 42 parallel to each other, and is used for realizing the display function and/or input operation of the information terminal device. FIG. 2 shows the unfolded state when the film-like input/output portion 4 is pulled out and stretched, and FIGS. 1 and 4 show the state when it is roughly folded in half. In the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment, the input/output portion 4 is in the shape of a belt and is roughly divided into two halves; when the device is initially used as the watch, the side of the roughly half face 43 serves as the dial portion 11 is often exposed, while the other roughly half surface 44 is accommodated between the support member 5 and the base body 3 to be described later when used as the watch, and is not used until the device is used as the information terminal device. Expand and reveal.

In order to realize the functions of display output and touch input, the input and output unit 4 is formed by laminating a touch panel on an electronic paper or an organic EL film display for displaying. The film-shaped input/output portion 4 may be folded in half as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 , and may be bent as shown in FIG. 3 described later, or may be unfolded as shown in FIG. 2 to form a continuous screen, and the The materials of some electronic paper or organic EL thin film displays are thin and soft, which are very suitable for use as the input and output parts 4 . Among them, the material of the organic EL thin film display of the resin substrate is particularly thin and soft, which is more suitable.

In order to enable the input/output part 4 to expand in the direction of the reference symbol 40, that is, along the direction of the aforementioned pair of sides 41, 42, it has a pair of sides 41, 42 that are parallel to each other as described above, but its overall shape is not the same. It is not necessarily limited to a rectangular shape; in particular, the substantially half-face 43 side (dial part) exposed when used as a watch 11), the side surface 431 of the side surface 431 can be arc-shaped or the like, which conforms to the product design. On the other hand, the substantially half surface 43 of the input/output portion 4 is supported from the inside through a rigid and plate-shaped support member 5 .

The base body 3 is formed by stacking a first portion 31 for guiding the first guiding member 6 and a second portion 32 for guiding the second guiding member 7 stacked on each other. If the distance between the pair of sides 41 and 42 of the input/output part 4 is referred to as the width direction, the first part 31 has first long holes 3111 and 3121 formed on the side walls 311 and 312 of both ends in the width direction. The 3111 and 3121 extend along the direction 40 of the pair of sides 41 and 42 and open to the side portion 310 , so that the first portion 31 has storage spaces 313 and 314 extending in the aforementioned direction 40 .

The first guide member 6 is composed of moving members 61 , 62 , connecting rods 631 , 632 , 641 , 642 , screws 65 and connecting members 66 ; wherein the moving members 61 , 62 can go from the storage spaces 313 , 314 to the aforementioned direction 40 A plate-like or rod-like member (shown in the form of a rod in Figure 4) that is freely accessible. One ends 6311, 6321, 6411, 6421 of the connecting rods 631, 632, 641, 642 are connected to the side parts 611, 612 of the moving members 61, 62 by screws 65 through the first long holes 3111, 3121 and can swing freely, and the other end 6312, 6322, 6412, 6422 are connected to the side parts (sides) 51, 52 of the support member 5 by screws 65 and can swing freely. Since the moving members 61 and 62 of the present embodiment are rod-shaped, when the moving members 61 and 62 are stored in the first portion 31 , the two ends of the side portion 310 will be connected to each other through the connecting member 66 .

On the other hand, the second portion 32 is provided with second long holes 3211 and 3221 extending along the direction 40 on the side walls 321 and 322 at both ends in the width direction. The second guide member 7 is composed of a rod 70 and support plates 71 and 72 in this embodiment, wherein the rod 70 is communicated between the second long holes 3211 and 3221 and can be on the second long holes 3211 and 3221 By sliding, the support plates 71 and 72 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the rod 70 . The support plates 71 and 72 are mounted on the top plate of the second part 32 and pivotally support the shaft 46 . The shaft 46 is composed of a rigid rod-shaped body and is mounted on the side of the base end 45 of the film-shaped input and output portion 4 . It is connected to the base end 45 to protect the base end 45 side. At the same time, the shaft 46 pivots the support plates 71 and 72 through the screw 47 .

Therefore, the supporting member 5 connected by the links 631, 632, 641, 642 can be shifted (shift) by simply pulling the moving members 61, 62 out of the storage spaces 313, 314; if the links 631, 632, 641, When 642 is pushed down, the support member 5 can be lowered to the bottom. In addition, since the second guide member 7 slides on the second elongated holes 3211 and 3221, it can move from one side portion 310 to the other side portion 315, and the second guide member 7 pivotally supports the input and output portions during movement. 4 the side of the base end 45, so the other side of the input and output part 4 can be This causes the half face 44 to turn towards the user. In this way, the support member 5 can be guided (slid) and retracted in the direction 40 of the sides 41 and 42 , and the other roughly half surface 44 of the input/output portion 4 can be turned over.

As described above, in the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment, the input/output unit 4 that can be folded in half can be stored (stacked) in a folded manner as shown in FIG. 2, the base body 3 is added to the watch-type information terminal device 1, so that it can be worn on the user's wrist through the wristband 2, and the supporting member 5, the first guide member 6 and the second guide member 7 are used at the same time. . In addition, the support member 5 supports the substantially half surface 43 of the input/output unit 4 from the inside, and the base body 3 is disposed below the support member 5 in a state of being supported and folded in half, in other words, the support member 5 It is arranged above the base body 3 , the support member 5 and the base body 3 are connected by the first guide member 6 , and the base end 45 of the input/output part 4 and the base body 3 are connected by the second guide member 7 .

In the state where the support member 5 is positioned above the base body 3, the second guide member 7 is located at one side portion 310 of the base body 3, and therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the input/output portion 4 sandwiches the support member 5 When slowly folded in half, it prevents breakage due to folding. And in this state, the substantially half surface 43 of the input/output unit 4 is positioned above, and a part of the function of the input/output unit 4 can be realized.

The first guide member 6 guides the support member 5 in the direction 40 of the pair of sides 41 and 42 (sliding the support member 5) as shown in FIG. . In this way, as shown in FIG. 3 , the central part at the bend of the input and output part 4 will be rolled up from the base body 3 to form a large bend; at this time, the second guide member 7 is pivotally supported by the input and output part 4 The end portion 45, that is, the base end side of the other substantially half surface 44, so the bending will gradually rise. Next, the support member 5 passes through the side portion 310 of the base body 3 along the guidance (sliding) of the first guide member 6 and then sinks downward, as shown in FIG. side by side. On the other hand, the second guide member 7 , which is originally in a folded state and located near one side portion 310 of the base body 3 , moves to the end of the other side portion 315 . With the movement of the second guide member 7, the bending will become larger, and once the distance between the second guide member 7 and the inner side of the support member 5 reaches a preset value, the bending will return to its original shape, and the second guide member 7 will return to its original shape. The end 45 of the other substantially half surface 44 of the input and output portion 4 supported by the guide member 7 will be turned over, so that the other substantially half surface 44 is returned to the base body 3 .

In this way, as shown in FIG. 2 , the base body 3 and the supporting member 5 are arranged side by side, and immediately above is the film-shaped input and output portion 4 , the surface of which faces the user, and can be comprehensively displayed and/or Enter an action. In other words, if the input/output portion 4 is in the state of being folded in half as shown in FIG. 1 , the other substantially half surface 44 is sandwiched between the support member 5 and the base body 3 ; if as shown in FIGS. 3 to 2 , the substantially half surface 44 is 43 starts to move (slide) towards the end of the side 310, the other roughly half 44 will move towards the end of the other side 315 (opposite direction) and unfold (make the bend disappear), while turning over to face the user.

As mentioned above, the input/output portion 4 is in the shape of a belt or a film, and has a pair of sides 41 and 42 parallel to each other, and can realize at least a part of the functions of display and/or input operations. When the substantially half surface 43 of the pair of parallel sides 41 and 42 that is closer to the direction 40 faces the user, the input and output portion 4 will be folded in half as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 to achieve a part of the function; When the input and output portion 4 is in the unfolded state as shown in FIG. 2 and the entire surface faces the user, all functions can be realized. The two use states can be switched to each other. In this way, when the user operates the portable information terminal device, the input and output portion 4 can be expanded according to requirements to increase the area thereof, so that the operation of the input and output is simpler. In addition, the support member 5 is supported (as a substrate) on the inner side of substantially half surface 43 of the film-shaped input/output portion 4, and the upper surface 323 of the second portion 32 of the base body 3 is supported (as a substrate) on the inner side of the other substantially half surface 44 ) to achieve a structure with better support and smoother touch and other operations.

In addition, although the general watch-type information terminal is light and does not occupy space, it can only perform display and/or input operations in the limited area of approximately half of the surface 43 (dial part 11 ). In contrast, the information terminal of this embodiment The device 1 can timely unfold the other half 44 of the input and output portion 4 to expand the operation area, thereby improving the function of the information terminal device, and is more suitable for use as a watch-type information terminal.

In addition, in the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment, since the moving members 61 and 62 are rod-shaped, when the moving members 61 and 62 are stored in the first portion 31, the end points of the one side portion 310 are connected to each other through the connecting member 66, forming a substantially It is an inverted ㄈ glyph. Since the moving members 61, 62 support the two side portions 51, 52 of the support member 5 through the links 631, 632, 641, 642, and are connected between the first long holes 3111, 3121, they move in the first portion 31, Therefore, it can also be designed as a plate-shaped member; but if it is designed as a rod shape as mentioned above, and is connected through the connecting member 66 to form a member of an inverted ㄈ shape, then the inner side of the inverted ㄈ shape will have some leftovers. space.

In this way, components such as circuit parts or batteries of the information terminal device can be accommodated in the aforementioned space, so that the overall volume can be reduced and even thinner. The moving members 61, 62 can even be designed as a multi-layered structure that can be extended and retracted like a telescope barrel or a ladder for a stair lift. In this configuration, since the The extension of the points 31 is large, and the length (height) of the portion of the support member 5 relative to the base body 3, that is, the dial portion 11 (substantially half-face 43) can also be relatively increased (height).

In addition, in the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment, the links 631 , 632 , 641 , and 642 are one set each on the side of the moving members 61 and 62 . In other words, the moving members 61 and 62 are along the pair of sides 41 and 42 . The direction 40 is provided with two sets of links, each spaced from each other. Therefore, when viewed from one side, the moving members 61, 62 and the supporting member 5 and the links 631, 632, 641, 642 will constitute a parallel link mechanism, which can make the operation more stable and improve the durability.

Furthermore, in the information terminal device 1 of the present embodiment, the pair of support plates 71 and 72 of the second guide member 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second portion 32 and penetrate through the second portion 32 . The rods 70 in the second long holes 3211 and 3212 are connected to each other, so only one rod 70 needs to be moved to guide both ends of the support plates 71 and 72 at a time, and the structure is very simple.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of a wristwatch-type information terminal device 1a according to another embodiment of the present invention. The information terminal device 1a of FIG. 5 is similar to the information terminal device 1 of FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 , and the corresponding parts will be given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. It should be noted that, in contrast to the aforementioned base body 3 having a layered structure having a first portion 31 and a second portion 32, in this information terminal device 1a, the base body 3a is a single structure.

Specifically, the moving members 61 and 62 and the connecting member 66 constituting the first guide member 6 form an inverted ㄈ shape, and the information terminal 1a of this embodiment utilizes the hollow space in the middle of the inverted ㄈ shape. Therefore, the base body 3a has the first elongated holes 3111 and 3121 formed on the side walls 311 and 312 at both ends in the width direction, and the first elongated holes 3111 and 3121 are respectively formed at both ends of the base body 3a. The storage spaces 313 and 314 are open. However, the upper surface 316 of the base body 3 a is further provided with second long holes 3161 , 3162 , and the second long holes 3161 , 3162 extend along the direction 40 of the pair of sides 41 , 42 .

On the other hand, the second guide member 7a has a structure including a rod 70a and a pair of receiving members 75 and 76 . The rod 70a is attached to the inner side of the upper surface 316 to move (slid). The rod 70a is provided with a pair of receiving members 75 and 76 corresponding to the second elongated holes 3161 and 3162 . The receiving members 75 and 76 are roughly formed in a Y-shape, the legs of the Y-shape are movably inserted into the second elongated holes 3161 and 3162, and the branched parts of the Y-shape are formed in a circular arc shape, and the protruding parts of the circular arcs are mutually close to each other. At the same time, the base end 45 of the input/output portion 4 is fixed to the shaft 46 by winding or the like, and slits 471 and 472 are formed in portions corresponding to the receiving members 75 and 76 , and The parts 461 , 462 of the shaft 46 exposed from the slits 471 , 472 are embedded in the Y-shaped bifurcated parts of the receiving members 75 , 76 , so as to pivot the shaft 46 . In this embodiment, some structures can be appropriately designed to prevent the rod 70a from falling off. For example, flanges can be provided on the Y-shaped feet of the receiving members 75 and 76; the width of the Y-shaped bifurcated portion is designed to be wider than the feet; or a baffle is provided on the back of the rod 70a.

In addition, between the upper surface 316 and the lower surface 919, there is the other substantially half surface 44 of the input/output unit 4, and they are not in contact with each other.

It is worth noting that, in the first guide member of the information terminal device 1c of the present embodiment, the plate 81 of the base body 3c whose ㄈ shape is higher than the upper side and the supporting member 5c whose inverted u-shaped shape is lower than the plate 92 are provided with Slots 817, 818; 927, 928 as first elongated holes, and connecting members 85, 86; 95, 96 sliding within the slits 817, 818; Among them, the slits 817, 818; 927, 928 are formed in the vicinity of both ends in the width direction of the input/output portion 4, and extend in the direction 40 of the pair of sides 41, 42 respectively. The slits 817, 818 extend all the way from the base end of the upper surface 316 of the plate 81, which is the upper side of the sliding surface, to the oblique side 815. Similarly, the slits 927 and 928 are from the upper side of the sliding surface. The lower plate 92 extends all the way to the oblique edge 925 near the base end of the lower surface 929 .

The connecting members 85, 86; 95, 96 are erected in the vicinity of both ends of the plate-shaped body or the rod-shaped body 851, 861; The pins 852, 853; 862, 863; 952, 953; 962, 963 are used to pivotally support the plate-like bodies 851, 861; 951, 961 and make them swing freely.

In the connecting members 85, 86; 95, 96, the pins 852, 862; 952, 962 on one side are used to pivot the respective movable end sides of the upper plate 91 and the lower plate 82, so the Slits 827, 828; 917, 918 are formed on the movable end side for the plate-shaped bodies 851, 861; 951, 961 to swing. In addition, as mentioned above, the plate-like bodies 851, 861; 951, 961 will slide in the slits 817, 818; 927, 928, and the pins 853, 863; 953, 963 on the other side can prevent slipping. Therefore, the slits 817, 818; 927, 928 are provided with guide grooves communicating with the slits 817, 818; 927, 928 and having a wider inner side for guiding the pins 853, 863;

On the other hand, the second guide member 7a is guided through the second long holes 3161 and 3162 provided on the upper surface 316 of the base body 3c, and the other substantially half surface 44 of the input/output portion 4 passes through the second guide member 7a It is the same as the information terminal device 1a of FIG. Therefore, the portion where the connecting members 85, 86 clamp the other substantially half-face 44 is longer than the portion where the connecting members 95, 96 clamp. In addition, this structure also enables the support member 5c to guide (slid) and sink downward along the sides 41 and 42 in the direction 40, as well as the flipping action of the other half surface 44 of the input/output portion 4. As shown in FIG.

In addition, in the information terminal device 1c of the present embodiment, the upper plate 81 of the base body 3c and the upper plate 91 of the support member 5c, and the lower plate 92 of the support member 5c and the base body 3c are Since the lower plates 82 are formed to have the same thickness, as shown in FIG. 11, once the support member 5c is pulled out to sink downward, and the information terminal 1c is placed in a place where it can be kept horizontal, it faces the use The other side, that is, the surface of the input and output portion 4 can be flat.

Furthermore, in the information terminal device 1c of the present embodiment, when the inverted U-shaped support member 5c is pulled out from the U-shaped base body 3c fitted therewith, the slits 817, 818; 927, 927, 928 is formed on the sliding surface, that is, formed on the upper surface 316 of the upper plate 81 and the lower surface 929 of the lower plate 92, as shown in FIG. 10, which cannot be seen from the outside in the stacked state. The slits 817 , 818 ; 927 , 928 or the connecting members 85 , 86 ; 95 , 96 not only improve the design sense, but also prevent the normal operation from being affected by the invasion of foreign objects.

In addition, in the information terminal device 1c of the present embodiment, inclined sides 815 and 825 obliquely protruding downward are formed on the movable end sides of the upper plate 81 and the lower plate 82 of the base body 3c, and the support member 5c The upper plate 91 and the lower plate 92 have beveled edges 915 and 925 formed on the movable end sides that are inclined downward and inward, so that after the support member 5c is pulled out, the beveled edges 815 and 825; 915 can pass through. , The guide of 925 sinks smoothly to the bottom. 11, when the supporting member 5c and the base body 3c are arranged side by side, the oblique sides 815, 825;

It should be noted that, in the information terminal device 1c of the present embodiment, the pulled-out support member 5c and the base body 3c are not always linear as shown in FIG. 11, but can be adjusted in angle. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13( c ), a feeding mechanism 10 is provided between the upper plate 81 of the U-shaped base body 3c and the lower plate 92 of the inverted U-shaped supporting member 5c, and the feeding mechanism 10 The pair of support members 5c are The edges 41, 42 are elongated as the direction 40 leads them. Moreover, this feed mechanism 10 is provided with the angle adjustment mechanism 103 (as shown in FIG. 14) in the position close|similar to the center. Therefore, when the support member 5c is pulled out from the base body 3c, the feed mechanism 10 is linked and extended.

FIG. 14 is an exploded perspective view of the feeding mechanism 10 . The feeding mechanism 10 includes a first part 101, a second part 102 and the angle adjustment mechanism 103 between the two parts; wherein the first part 101 is fixed to the upper plate 81, and the second part 102 is fixed to the lower part board 92. In the embodiment of FIG. 14 , the first part 101 is formed in a flat square tube shape, and the inner space 1011 of the first part 101 can accommodate the main body 1021 , the extension part 1022 and the angle adjustment mechanism 103 of the second part 102 .

In the second part 102, the extension part 1022 can freely enter and exit the inner space 10211 of the main body 1021, the base end side is provided with a flange 10221 to prevent loosening, and the front end is fixed with the rotating part 1031 of the angle adjustment mechanism 103. The width and thickness of the base end side of the main body 1021 are substantially the same as those of the first portion 101 in the shape of a flat square tube. Lower plate 92.

The angle adjustment mechanism 103 includes the rotating part 1031 and a pair of brackets 1032 and 1033 . The pair of brackets 1032 and 1033 are located at the end of the first part 101 and clamp the rotating part 1031 . The rotating part 1031 is slightly semi-cylindrical, and has shafts 1034 at both ends, which can be pivotally supported in the groove 1012 and slide in the groove 1012 , and the groove 1012 communicates with the two inner side walls of the inner space 1011 to the inside of the brackets 1032 and 1033 . Therefore, the second part 102 can be pulled out from the first part 101, in other words, the second part 102 (ie the support member 5c) can be angularly adjusted relative to the first part 101 (ie the base body 3c).

In order to properly maintain the angle adjustment mechanism 103 at any angle when adjusting the angle, a maintenance mechanism can be added between the brackets 1032, 1033 and the rotating part 1031; The rotating part 1031 in the middle is designed not to rotate, and the extension part 1022 is designed to be bendable. In order to match the stroke when the support member 5c is pulled out from the base body 3c, the length difference that the feed mechanism 10 lacks is made up by the extension 1022. In other words, the extended portion 1022 allows the shaft 1034 serving as the center of rotation to be pulled out to the outside of the base body 3c while providing a sufficient length for the support member 5c, corresponding to the stroke at the time of pulling. In addition, in order to prevent the oblique sides 815, 825;

In this configuration, since the feed mechanism 10 is provided with the angle adjustment mechanism 103 near the approximate center thereof, not only the support member 5c (that is, the approximate half surface 43 of the input/output portion 4) and the base body 3c (that is, the input/output portion 4) The other substantially half-surfaces 44) of the fins extend in a straight line, and can also be maintained at a certain angle to be connected to each other. In this way, taking the watch-type information terminal device as an example, after the supporting member 5c is pulled out to the top, its movable end side will face the user for easy viewing; or if the information terminal device is used as a mobile phone, the supporting member 5c may The movable end side of the member 5c is close to the ear, and the movable end side of the base body 3c is close to the mouth, so that the user can communicate.

In addition, as described above, the respective plates 81, 82; 91, 92 of the base body 3c and the support member 5c are formed to have the same thickness, and the support member 5c and the base body 3c are connected to each other in the inverted ㄈ shape and the ㄈ shape, respectively. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 13(b), one end (the first part 101) of the feeding mechanism 10 is connected to the lower side of the upper plate 81 of the base body 3c, and the other One end (the second part 102 ) is connected to the upper side of the plate 92 which is lower than the support member 5c. Even so, after the feeding mechanism 10 is pushed out as shown in Fig. 13(c), since the folding members 83, 84; 93, 94 will be folded, the middle of the aforementioned u-shape will be shown in Fig. 13(d), without any void. In this way, the inner and outer surfaces of the base body 3c and the support member 5c can each form a flat surface.

Therefore, when the ends 1019 and 1029 of the feeding mechanism 10 are connected to the respective connecting parts of the aforementioned U-shape, the level difference between them can be easily eliminated. At the same time, the base body 3c and the supporting member 5c are arranged side by side, so that the information terminal device is arranged side by side. As the thickness becomes thinner, it is easier to bend through the angle adjustment mechanism 103 .

In the information terminal device 1c, the upper surface 316 of the upper plate 81 is provided with slits 817, 818 for sliding the connecting members 85, 86, and second long holes 3161, 3162 for guiding the second guide member 7a, Both are adjacent to each other, and the connecting members 85, 86 and the second guide member 7a are moved in opposite directions to each other. Based on the movement in the opposite direction, a linkage mechanism is designed in the information terminal device.

FIG. 15 is a perspective view for explaining the interlocking mechanism in detail. First, the second guide member 7a needs to be designed to be short, but it does not affect the support of the other half surface 44 of the input/output portion 4 . Next, the interval between the slits 817, 818 and the second long holes 3161, 3162 is increased, and a wire/belt-shaped member (which is tied as a belt-shaped member in the embodiment of FIG. 15) is provided on the inner side of the upper surface 316 ) 881, 882, the wire/strip members 881, 882 extend between the slits 817, 818 and the second long holes 3161, 3162, through the pulley 8711, 8712; 8721, 8722 and other elements are configured in a ring shape. At the same time, the pins 853, 863 and the moving pieces 8911, 8921 connected to the wire/strip members 881, 882 can be freely connected or released, while both ends of the second guide member 7a are fixed to the wire/strip member 881, 882 connecting parts 8912, 8922. Therefore, when the support member 5c is pulled out from the base body 3c, the moving piece moves (turns) toward the wire/belt-shaped members 881 and 882, so that the second guide member 7a can be moved from the one side portion 310 to the other side portion. 315 drive. When the connecting members 85, 86 slide on the inclined edge 815, the connection between the pins 853, 863 and the moving pieces 8911, 8921 will be loosened; and when the connecting members 85, 86 move to the upper surface 316, the pins 853, 863 Mounted on the moving pieces 8911 and 8921.

As described above, when the support member 5c is pulled out from the base body 3c, the second guide member 7a moves from the one side portion 310 to the other side portion 315 in interlock, so that the other substantially half surface 44 of the input/output portion 4 can be unfolded and flip. For example, the pins 853, 863 can be moved away from the moving piece when the slits 817, 818 enter the bevel 815, and the pins 853, 863 can be caught when the slits 817, 818 return from the bevel 815 to the upper surface 316 Hold the mobile piece. In addition, if there is a difference in the amount of movement (stroke) between the connecting members 85 and 86 and the second guide member 7a, the difference can be absorbed by covering the wire/belt-shaped member on rollers or pulleys with different radii.

In this information terminal device 1c, in order to complete the action of pulling out the support member 5c from the base body 3c, the slits 817, 818; 927, 928 and the connecting members 85, 86; 95, 96; and in order to complete the movement of the second guide member 7a on the upper surface 316, the combination of the second elongated holes 3161, 3162 plus the receiving members 75, 76 sliding inside them is used, in other words, grooves are used. The combination of a slot plus an element embedded in it. However, other combinations can also be used in construction to achieve the above-mentioned movement, such as a guide rail and a moving piece that can slide on it.

The information terminal device of the present invention is a portable information terminal device, which includes an input and output portion, a support member, a base, a first guide member and a second guide member, wherein the input and output portions are film-shaped and have parallel to each other. A pair of sides can realize the display function and/or input operation of the information terminal device. There are two states when using, one is a half-folded state, so that the roughly half of the sides along the direction of the pair of sides faces the user, and the other is unfolded The support member supports the substantially half of the input-output part from the inside; the base body is arranged on the back side of the support member when the input-output part is in the half-folded state; the first A guide member guides the support member in the direction along the pair of sides, so that the support member originally supported above the base is further lowered to the bottom and Arranged side by side to one side of the base body, and at the same time, the input and output parts are turned from the folded state to the unfolded state; the second guide member is attached to the side of the base body when the input and output parts are in the folded state. The base end side of the other substantially half surface of the input and output portion is pivotally supported, and when the support member is displaced to one side of the base body along with the guide of the first guide member, the second guide member also moves to the position of the base. the other side, and thereby flip the other substantially half of the input and output.

Based on the above structure, if there are portable information terminal devices such as watch-type information terminal devices, game consoles, tablet terminals, personal computers, etc., the watch-type information terminal device is displayed on the time display, and the dial is of a general size, which can meet the needs of users. desired function. . However, in order to fully realize the display and/or input operation of the information terminal device, only the dial area is difficult, so that some originally achievable functions have to be limited. Therefore, the present invention realizes at least part of the display and/or input operation, because the film-shaped input and output portion has a pair of sides parallel to each other, for example, in the shape of a belt. When the input part is in a half-folded state, some functions can be realized; when the entire surface is in an unfolded state to the user, all functions can be realized, and the two use states can be switched between each other.

For example, taking a watch type as an example, in order to accommodate (stack) and unfold the foldable input and output portion in two halves, the information terminal device of the present invention is equipped with a base to facilitate the wear and tear of the user's wrist. And a support member and first and second guide members are used. Specifically, the support member supports the substantially half-surface portion of the input/output portion from the inner substrate. When the input and output parts are in a folded state, the base body is located below the support member, that is, the support member is arranged above the base body. Furthermore, the support member and the base body are connected by the first guide member, and the end portion of the input/output portion and the base body are connected by the second guide member.

Next, when the support member is positioned above the base body, the second guide member is located on one side of the base body. Therefore, the I/O portion sandwiches the support member and folds the support member in half gradually, thereby preventing the double guide member from being folded in two. half damaged. In this state, approximately half of the input/output unit is positioned above, and a part of the function of the input/output unit is realized.

The first guide member guides the support member in a direction along the pair of sides (sliding the support member) so that the input/output portion can be unfolded from the folded state. In this way, the central portion of the bend of the input/output portion will be rolled up from the base to form a large bend. At this time, since the second guide member pivots the end of the input/output portion, that is, the base end side of the other substantially half surface, the bending will gradually rise. Next, following the guidance (sliding) of the first guide member, the support member passes through one side portion of the base body, sinks downward, and comes to be side by side with one side portion of the base body. On the other hand, the second guide member originally in the folded state and located near one side of the base body moves to the end of the other side. With the movement of the second guide member, the bending will become larger. Once the distance between the second guide member and the inner side of the support member reaches a preset value, the second guide member supports the other half of the input and output parts. The base end will be turned over so that the other roughly half is back on the base and the bend will return to its original shape.

In this way, the base body and the support member are arranged side by side in the lateral direction and connected to one side, so that the surface of the film-like input and output portion faces the user, and comprehensive display and/or input operations can be performed. In other words, if the other roughly half of the input/output part is in a folded state, it will be sandwiched between the support member and the base body, and if the roughly half is moved (slid) to the side of the side, the other roughly half will move toward the side. The other side end (opposite direction) moves and unfolds (disappears the bend) while flipping over to face the user.

Therefore, when the user operates the portable information terminal device, the input and output parts can be expanded according to requirements to increase their area, so that the operation of the input and output is simpler. In addition, a support member and a base (as a substrate) are provided on the inner sides of approximately one half of the film-shaped input/output portion and the other approximately half, respectively. Therefore, the support member can be improved, and the touch operation can be made smoother.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the base body is formed by stacking the first part for guiding the first guiding member and the second part for guiding the second guiding member; The side between the sides is called the width direction, the first part is formed with first long holes on the side walls of both ends in the width direction, and the first long holes extend along the direction of the pair of sides and open to the side part, so that the first long hole is formed. A part has a storage space extending along the pair of side directions; the first guide member is composed of a plate-shaped or rod-shaped moving member and a link, and the plate-shaped or rod-shaped moving member can move from the storage space to the The direction of one side is free to enter and exit; the connecting rod passes through the first long hole, one end is connected to the side of the moving member, and the other end is connected to the side (edge) of the supporting member; because the moving member is removed from the storage space Protruding, when the supporting member is guided to one side, the connecting rod will swing accordingly, so that the supporting member sinks to the bottom and aligns with the side of the base; the second part has a second long hole, the second The long hole is located on the side walls of the two ends in the width direction and extends along the direction of the pair of sides; the second guide member is slid in the second long hole and pivotally supports the base end side of the input and output portion , so that it is located on the second guide member.

Based on the above configuration, when the support member is moved (slid) and sinks downward, the first portion that guides the first guide member and the second portion that guides the second guide member are stacked on each other in two layers to form the base body; A guide member is composed of a moving member and a link. The moving member is plate-shaped or rod-shaped, and the first part has a storage space, such as the width direction between the pair of sides of the input and output portion, when the moving member is rod-shaped, the space is located in the width direction Near both ends of the space; when the moving member is plate-shaped, the space communicates with the interior and extends along the direction of the pair of sides. The storage space is open to one side for the free entry and exit of the moving member. In addition, a first elongated hole is formed on the first part of the side wall forming the storage space, the first elongated hole extends along the direction of the pair of sides and opens to the side portion, and one end of the connecting rod passes through the first elongated hole Connected to the side of the moving member, the other end of the link is then connected to the side (edge) of the support member.

On the other hand, a second part is provided above the first part to guide the second guide member; the second part is provided with second long holes on the side walls of both ends in the width direction, and the second long holes are along the A pair of sides extending in the direction. Since the second guide member is embedded in the second long hole, the second guide member can move from the one side to the other side by sliding in the second long hole. When moving, the second guide member pivotally supports the base end side of the input and output portion, so the other substantially half surface of the input and output portion can be turned over.

With this structure, the support member can be guided (slid) in the direction along the pair of sides to sink downward, and the other substantially half of the input/output portion can be turned over.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the moving member is a pair of rods, which are connected to the one side portion to form a substantially inverted ㄈ shape.

Based on the above structure, the moving members that support both sides of the support member through the link can be designed as a plate-like body, which connects the first long holes on both sides and can move in the first part; however, if it is designed as a pair of rods , and its part joined at one side will form a roughly inverted ㄈ shape member, and the inner side of the inverted ㄈ shape will allow some space in the first part.

In this way, components such as circuit parts or batteries of the information terminal device can be accommodated in the aforementioned space, so that the overall volume is reduced and even thinner.

Furthermore, regarding the base body of the information terminal device of the present invention, if the distance between the pair of sides of the input/output portion is referred to as the width direction, the side walls of both ends in the width direction are formed with first long holes, and the second An elongated hole extends along the direction of the pair of sides and opens toward the side, so that the first part has a receiving space extending along the direction of the pair of sides; at the same time, the upper surface of the base also has a space along the side A pair of second long holes extending in the side direction. The first guide member has a plate-shaped or rod-shaped moving member that can freely enter and exit from the storage space to the side portion, and after passing through the first elongated hole, one end is connected to the side portion of the moving member, and the other end is connected to the support The connecting rod of the side part (side) of the member; because the moving member protrudes from the storage space, the supporting member can be guided to one side, and the connecting rod can be driven to swing, so that the supporting member sinks back to the bottom and is arranged side by side to the side one side of the base. The second guide member is slid in the second elongated hole, and pivots the base end side of the input and output portion to be positioned on the second guide member.

Based on the above structure, the base is not limited to the aforementioned two-layer structure with the first and second parts, and can also be designed as a single-layer structure, with a first elongated hole on the side for guiding the first guide member, and a top The second long hole is arranged on the surface for guiding the second guide member.

Even if it is designed as a single-layer structure, the operation of guiding (sliding) the support member in the direction along a pair of sides and sinking downward, and the operation of inverting the other substantially half of the input/output portion can also be realized.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, if the links on both sides of the moving member are regarded as a set, the moving member is provided with two sets of links spaced from each other along the direction of the pair of sides. Based on the above configuration, the moving member and the supporting member and the link will constitute a parallel link mechanism when viewed from one side, which can make the operation more stable and improve the durability.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the second guide members are disposed on both sides of the second portion, and are connected to each other through rods inserted into the second elongated hole in the second portion.

Thereby, the second guide member can guide both sides of the second part at one time with a simple configuration of only one rod.

In addition, regarding the base of the information terminal device of the present invention, if the distance between the pair of sides of the input/output portion is referred to as the width direction, the side walls of both ends in the width direction are formed with first elongated holes, and the first elongated The hole has a pull-out portion extending in the direction of the pair of sides, an inclined portion communicating with the pull-out portion and inclined downward at a predetermined inclination, and an end portion communicating with the inclined portion and parallel to the pull-out portion; , a surface of the side portion is formed along the inclined portion to the end portion, and the upper surface is provided with a second long hole extending in the direction of the pair of sides. The first guide member is composed of a pair of guide plates and two guide pins. The guide plates extend downward from the end of the other side of the support member and cover the support members respectively. A pair of side walls of the base body, and two cylindrical guide pins are erected perpendicular to the pair of guide plates, which are spaced apart from each other along the pair of side directions and can slide in the first long hole; the second The guide member slides in the second elongated hole, and pivots the base end side of the input and output portion to be positioned on the upper surface of the base body.

Based on the above configuration, in order to allow the support member to be moved (slid) and lowered downward, first long holes for guiding are formed on both side walls of the base body. Specifically, the first elongated hole includes: a pull-out portion extending in the direction of the pair of sides to perform a linear pull-out action; communicating with the pull-out portion and inclined rearward at a preset inclination so that the support member sinks downward The inclined part; the end part that communicates with the inclined part and is parallel to the pull-out part for the support member to return to the straight state; after the support member returns to the straight state, the upper surface of the base body and the upper surface of the support member will roughly form a plane. Correspondingly, this shape along the inclined portion to the end portion is also formed on this surface of one side portion of the base body for the end portion of the other side portion of the support member to pass through.

In addition, in the above structure, the first guide member is composed of a pair of guide plates and two guide pins. The guide plates extend downward from the end of the other side portion of the support member, that is, extend to the base side. ; And the two cylindrical guide pins are spaced apart from each other along the pair of side directions.

Further, since the guide pins are spaced apart from each other along the pair of side directions, in addition to suppressing rattling, it is possible to return the support member to a straight state at the end portion, that is, to allow the upper surface of the base body and the upper surface of the support member to return to a straight state. roughly form a plane. As described above, as long as the support member is pulled out, the support member is guided to move (slid) toward the side of the base body by the guide pin and sink downward.

On the other hand, in order to guide the second guide member, a second long hole extending in the direction of the pair of sides is formed on the upper surface of the base body. Since the second guide member is embedded in the second long hole, by sliding in the second long hole, the second guide member can move from the one side to the other side. When moving, the second guide member pivotally supports the base end side of the input and output portion, so the other substantially half surface of the input and output portion can be turned over.

With this structure, the support member can be guided (slid) in the direction along the pair of sides and lowered downward, and the other substantially half of the input/output portion can be turned over.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the support member and the base body are formed in a cross-section along a pair of side directions to form an inverted u-shaped and an u-shaped which are fitted with each other; the first guide member is composed of a first long hole and a connecting member. constitute. Wherein, the plate on the upper side of the u-shaped base and the inverted u-shaped support member On the lower plate, if between the pair of sides of the input and output portion is called the width direction, the vicinity of both ends in the width direction is respectively formed with a first long hole extending along the direction of the pair of sides; and The connecting member pivotally supports the movable end of the upper plate of the inverted U-shaped support member and the lower plate of the U-shaped base, and slides on the first long hole and the support of the upper plate of the base respectively.

With the above-mentioned structure, when the support member moves (slidably) and sinks downward, the support member and the base body form an inverted U-shape and a U-shape that are fitted to each other in the cross-section along the pair of side directions. Specifically, when the upper support member is in an inverted ㄈ shape, the lower base system is in a ㄈ shape, and the two are fitted with each other when the input and output parts are folded in half, that is, they are stacked. state; when the input and output parts are in the unfolded state, the support member will be pulled out from the base body and be side by side with it, and after the upper support member sinks, it forms a plane with the base body.

Continuing from the above, the first guide member is provided with a first elongated hole and a connecting member, and the first elongated hole is formed on the upper plate of the U-shaped base and the lower plate of the inverted u-shaped support member, wherein, for example, A pair of sides of the input and output portion is called the width direction. A first elongated hole extending along the direction of the pair of sides is formed near both ends in the width direction. Link member. The connecting members are pivotally supported respectively, and the upper plate of the inverted ㄈ-shaped supporting member and the lower plate of the u-shaped base body are near the respective movable ends. Therefore, by the sliding of the connecting member, the supporting member is guided to one side and the mutual engagement with the base body is released, and after reaching the end (moving end), the connecting member starts to swing, so that the supporting members sink downward and side by side on one side of the base.

On the other hand, in order to guide the second guide member, a second long hole extending in the direction of the pair of sides is formed on the upper surface of the plate at the upper part of the base body; the second guide member is tied to the second long hole It slides in the middle and pivots the base end side of the input and output part so that it is located on the second guide member. Therefore, in the state where the inverted ㄈ-shaped support member and the ㄈ-shaped base body are fitted to each other, the input and output portion folded in half sandwiches the upper plate of the support member therebetween, and as long as the support member is pulled out, make the first The two guide members move from one side to the other, and the other roughly half of the input and output portion will be turned over, which can be in an unfolded state with the roughly half of the plate that is closer to the upper side of the support member.

Based on the above structure, when the supporting member is pulled out and sunk downward, if the information terminal device is in a horizontal place, the side facing the user, that is, the surface of the input/output portion, will be flat.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the connecting member is connected with a pin near the two ends of the plate-shaped body or the rod-shaped body, so as to pivot the plate-shaped body or the rod-shaped body and make it swing freely; Between the surface on the upper side of the board above the base body and the surface on the lower side of the board on the upper side of the support member, and between the surface on the lower side of the board on the lower side of the support member and the base body on the lower side The upper surface of the plate is used as a sliding surface when the pin is guided along the pair of sides; at the same time, between the upper plate of the base and the lower plate of the support member, At the end surface extending from the base end side of the sliding surface to the movable end side, a slit in which the plate-like body or rod-like body can swing is formed as the first elongated hole, and is communicated with the slit and has a wide inner side. A guide groove is designed to guide the pin.

Based on the above-mentioned structure, when the inverted U-shaped support member is pulled out from the U-shaped base body to which it is fitted, since the first long hole for guiding is formed on the sliding surface, it cannot be seen from the outside even in the stacked state. The first elongated hole or the connecting member thus not only improves the design sense, but also prevents the normal operation from being affected by the invasion of foreign objects.

Furthermore, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the movable end sides of the upper plate and the lower plate of the base body are formed with inclined sides protruding downward obliquely, and the supporting member is closer to the upper plate. The movable end side of the lower plate is formed with a slanted edge that is inclined downward and inwardly.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, a feeding mechanism is provided between the upper plate of the base body and the inverted u-shaped plate of the support member, and the feeding mechanism is in the structure of the The support member is elongated when guided in the direction along the pair of sides, and the feed mechanism is provided with an angle adjustment mechanism at an approximately central position thereof.

As long as the support member is pulled out from the base body, the feed mechanism is also linked and extended.

Therefore, with the angle adjustment mechanism provided at the approximate center of the feed mechanism, the support member (that is, roughly half of the input/output portion) and the base (that is, the other roughly half of the input/output portion) not only extend in a straight line, but also maintain connected to each other at specific angles. In this way, taking the watch-type information terminal device as an example, the movable end side of the supporting member pulled out to the front will face the user for easy viewing; if the information terminal device is used as a mobile phone, the movable end side of the supporting member can be Close to the ear, the movable end side of the base body is close to the mouth, so that the user can communicate.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, each plate of the base body and the support member is formed to have equal thicknesses, and the connected parts of the inverted ㄈ shape and the ㄈ shape formed when the support member and the base body are fitted with each other are provided with folds. The space between the upper and lower pairs of plates connected by the folding member can be freely opened and closed.

With the above configuration, one end of the feed mechanism is connected to the lower side of the plate above the base body, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the plate above the support member. From the above, there will be no gap in the middle of the aforementioned inverted U-shape, that is, the inner and outer surfaces of the base body and the supporting member can form a flat surface.

Therefore, when the end of the feeding mechanism is connected to the connecting portion of the U-shape, the level difference can be easily eliminated. At the same time, the thickness of the laterally side-by-side base body and the supporting member is reduced, and the bending of the angle adjustment mechanism is also reduced. easier.

In addition, in the information terminal device of the present invention, the pin is embedded in the upper plate of the base body, and the movable piece that can move in the direction of the pair of sides is connected to the upper plate. The upper plate is connected to a ring-shaped wire or a belt-shaped member, and the wire or belt-shaped member is connected to the second guide member. Therefore, when the support member is pulled out from the base, the moving piece drives the wire/band-shaped member. The belt-like member moves so that the second guide member can be driven from the side to the other side.

Based on the above configuration, as the support member is pulled out from the base body, the second guide member is linked to move from one side to the other, so that the other roughly half of the input/output portion can be unfolded and turned over.

In addition, the information terminal device of the present invention realizes the display function of the input and output portion through electronic paper.

Based on the above-mentioned structure, since the material of the electronic paper is thin and soft, it is helpful for the film-shaped input/output portion to be folded in half and accommodated inside and outside the support member, and the other half is turned over to face the user, forming a complete All surfaces are available and in a continuous screen state.

Furthermore, the information terminal device of the present invention realizes the display function of the input and output portion through the organic EL thin film display of the resin substrate.

Based on the above structure, since the organic EL thin film display, especially the organic EL thin film display of the resin substrate, has a thin and soft material, it contributes to the state where the film-like input/output portion is folded in half and accommodated inside and outside the support member. Turn the other roughly half side over to face the user to form a state where the entire side can be used and is a continuous screen.

Furthermore, the information terminal device of the present invention is a wristwatch type information terminal.

Based on the above structure, although the general watch-type information terminal is lightweight and does not take up space, it can only perform display and/or input operations in the limited area of the dial portion; compared to this, the information terminal device of the present invention can expand the input and output in a timely manner The operation area is enlarged, thus improving the function of the information terminal device itself.

In the information terminal device of the present invention, for example, in a wristwatch type information terminal device, a film-shaped input/output portion can be pulled out from the base body to be used, and the back surface of the input/output portion is supported by a support member on approximately half of the surface, and the input/output portion is supported by a support member. After the moving member and the connecting rod make the support member slide laterally and sink, the base body and the support member form a plane; in addition, the other roughly half of the input and output portion is exposed due to lateral sliding, and the support plate is used to slide on the base body Flip so that the entire face unfolds on the base. Therefore, the information terminal device not only has a compact structure, but also the film-shaped input and output parts can be expanded as required, so as to achieve high functions and/or multi-functions to meet the needs of users.
