New description: [New technical field], which has a physical body. The author has a keyboard, especially a keyboard switch button to extend the input function of the standard button. [Prior Art] With the development and high popularity of computer technology, computers are widely used in technology, business, or personal entertainment. The keyboard is the necessary input device for operating the computer. In general, each key on the keyboard has been assigned to perform a specific input function. If you match a specific operating system and application, you can set different key combinations and define these key combinations as different functions. However, in addition to the functions of the combination keys that can be defined by the above-mentioned (4) system and the support of the hybrid, the general keyboard can only perform the functions originally set. As computers become more widely available, such as online games, cash registers, or ordering devices. However, these 贱 _ types are both squatting and squatting, but they are all keyboard input operations, but the operation methods and needs are still very different. For example, in the case of an online game, if a plurality of buttons can be designated as a combination key to complete a series of input actions, the operation speed can be greatly improved, and the winning opportunity can be grasped. However, for the & quasi-keyboard, in terms of the limited number of buttons and the established button configuration, P has a ship that is intended to be designated, and the combination of the lion is so fine that it is difficult to stay and is difficult to remember. Therefore, a programmable keyboard appears on the market. Referring to Fig. 1, the programmable keyboard 10 differs from the general keyboard in appearance: the programmable keyboard 1 has a standard button area 110 in addition to the M375928, and a programmable button area 13 is added. The standard button area 110 is the same as a general standard keyboard, and keys (e.g., character keys, arithmetic functions, modifier keys, function keys, and cursor control keys, etc.) are assigned to specific input functions. Each of the buttons in the programmable button area 130 can be deprecated by the user for a specified input function. In other words, the user himself can define the keys of the programmable button area 130 as desired functions according to his or her own needs. However, since the above keyboard structure is additionally provided with a plurality of buttons, the size of the keyboard and the complexity of the circuit design are inevitably increased, thereby making the manufacturing cost relatively high and difficult to mass-produce, so that the quality and cost of the keyboard cannot be effectively controlled. In addition, because the size of the keyboard is too large, the user's hand can't completely cover the range of the keyboard', and the movement of the user's finger is very large, which is not only convenient in handling, but in the case of long-term use, fear There is a problem of soreness in the body parts such as the wrist or shoulder. [New content] The problem that is complicated by the above is that the type is _, which is difficult to solve the problems of the prior art, the size of the keyboard is large, the complexity of the internal circuit is high, and the keyboard structure design is not ergonomic. Learn and other issues. The more disclosed in the present invention, the more the body, the plurality of standard Wei, the first switching key and the at least the second switching key. The outer upper surface of the body has a "standard button area" and a switching button area, the standard button is located in the standard button area, and the first switching button and the second switching button are located in the switching button area. Each standard button has at least one preset input function, and 5 of the standard buttons have at least N designated input functions, and N is a positive integer β: the switch button can switch the input function of the standard button to the pre- The input function is set, the second number of keys corresponds to one of the designated input functions of each standard button, and the second switching key can be used; Position: Where when the user's hand is placed on the body, the position of each finger of the user should be included in the standard button area of each fresh button, the first switch button, and the second switch button. _, - The number key has no function key area. The standard buttons may include a plurality of character keys, a plurality of modifier keys, a plurality of arithmetic function keys, and a plurality of function keys. The key key f丨> is set in the typing key area. The arithmetic function key is set in the numeric keypad area. The function key ((4)) is set in the function key area. Here, a standard button having N designated input functions can be set as a function key. Further, the 'word key' may have a multi-word-symbol key or/and a blank key. Here, the standard buttons with N designated input functions can be set as Wei and numeric symbol keys. The effect of this creation is that the entity __ extends the input function of the standard button, so that the button configuration τ of the general keyboard can still easily provide a customizable input, thereby replacing the combination _ money to simplify the structure. And the design of the circuit 'avoid the size of the renewed disc, the decoration is low and difficult, and the health of the new button' - the city key, and the second cut = the Wei Ke in the fingers of the user, so that the commission keys The configuration is more in line with the person's gifted work. The user does not need to move the hand during the operation, and uses the M375928 for a long time to save effort, reduce the damage, and improve the function of the keyboard and improve the convenience of handling. . The above description of the present invention and the following description of the embodiments are intended to illustrate and explain the principles of the present invention and to provide further explanation of the scope of the patent application of the present invention.

Referring to "Fig. 2", the keyboard 20 includes a main body 21A, a plurality of standard keys 23A, and a plurality of switching keys (i.e., 252, 254, and 256 in the drawing). Generally speaking, a board (not shown) is disposed in the body 21 of the keyboard 20 to receive and transmit control signals corresponding to the input functions of the buttons (i.e., the standard buttons 23 and the switch buttons). In the key age according to the present invention, each button can be used as a button, or: a touch button. The towel, the mechanical button can include components such as a keycap, an actuating member, and an opening unit. The touch type button _ may include a sugar type (four) component. The implementation members of the buttons are not the subject matter of the present invention, and therefore will not be described again. Wherein, the switching key includes the first-switching key 252 and the at least one second switching key 254 2^6, and the naming manners of the first one and the second one are only for clearly describing the type _. However, the number of the second switching keys ^ of the creation and the dew is two, and those who are familiar with the technology can also set the multi (four) two switching keys according to the actual use requirements. The number of the second switch keys disclosed in the actual plane is limited. 7 M375928 The outer upper surface 21〇a of the body 210 has a standard button area M2 and a switching button area 214. The switch button area 214 is located below the standard button area 212. The standard button 23 (M system is set in the standard button area m towel, and the switching ^ (ie, the first-switching key 252 and the second second switching keys 254, 256) is set in the switching button area 214. The standard buttons 230 can be general The basic buttons on the keyboard. In other words, the standard buttons 230 can be configured in the same way as the standard keyboard (the Qwerty Ke is arranged in the same way. In addition, the standard buttons 23 can be configured with a twenty-key keyboard. The arrangement method is substantially the same. Here, the arrangement mode of the thirty-key keyboard is taken as an example. Each standard button 230 has at least one preset input function, and at least one standard knows that each of the keys 230 has more than one designation. The input function ^ is a positive integer, and in the present embodiment, Ν = 2. That is, the standard button 230 has two designated input functions 'which are consistent with the number of the second switching keys 254, 256. The input function of the standard button 23〇 is only the input function set by each button of the general keyboard (that is, it is called the preset input function). For example, when the standard button 230 is the Q button, the input is in English. Under the application of the method, the default input function of the Q button is to input "Q"; in the application of the Chinese input method in the standard phonetic mode, the default input function of the Q button is to enter the "women" When the standard button 230 is the @ button, under the application of the English input method, the 2-button preset input function is input "2"; and in the standard phonetic mode Chinese input method is executed under the application' The default input function of the @ key is to enter "Do not"; in the implementation of the Shift key, the default input of the @ key is input "@". The other part is The input function of the standard button 230 has N designated input functions in addition to the preset input function. Here, the designated input function refers to an input function that can be defined by the user to be assigned to the standard button 230. 252 corresponds to a preset input function of each of the standard buttons 230 having N designated input functions. The N second switching keys 254, 256 are one-to-one N designated input functions corresponding to the respective standard buttons 23 。. The switch key 252 can The input function from the standard button 230 having the designated input function is switched to the preset input function. In other words, when the first switch key 2S2 is pressed, the standard button 23 having the specified input function is inserted into the function. Switching to the preset input Wei. At this time, when the standard button 230 having the N designated input functions is pressed, it is the input of the preset input function of the pressed standard button 23〇.
