Abstract

The invention discloses a touch keyboard, which includes a bottom plate, a keyswitch module, a touch sensing module, and a control module. The keyswitch module includes a plurality of physical keyswitches, whose keycaps thereon define a manipulation surface. The touch sensing module is disposed between the bottom plate and the manipulation surface for sensing touch actions on the manipulation surface. The control module is electrically connected to the keyswitch module and the touch sensing module respectively for sensing manipulation signals from the keyswitch module and the touch sensing module respectively. Thereby, the control module transfers the operation mode of the touch keyboard by sensing a mode transfer action performed on the manipulation surface, and selectively ignores the manipulation signals from the keyswitch module or the touch sensing module according to the operation mode to generate output signals. Therefore, the invention provides two operation modes in the same physical manipulation medium, which is convenient for a user to manipulate.

New description: [New technical field] This creation is about a keyboard, especially a keyboard with touch function. [Prior Art] Currently, the keyboard for an electronic device has only a key input function. If the user needs to use the touch function, such as cursor control and graphic drawing, the electronic device needs to be connected to the touch panel for use. However, the space required for a keyboard plus a touchpad is not small, and the conversion operation is inconvenient. In this regard, there are already products that integrate physical buttons and touchpads, but they only have the structure of the two sides side by side, so the space occupied by them is limited, and there is still some inconvenience in the operation conversion. Moreover, at present, a touch keyboard is also available in the market, and the virtual keyboard is mainly built on the touch panel. When using, the user taps on the touch panel according to the indication line of the virtual keyboard, but the virtual keyboard lacks pressing. The feel will affect the fluency of the user's operation, such as in the context of blind play. In addition, in the touch keyboard, the function switching between the touch panel and the virtual keyboard is mostly realized by using an application running on the computer to select a single material, and the whole processing is performed, and the computer data processing resource is shared. Delayed issue. [New content] In view of the problems in the prior art, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a touch keyboard having a physical button structure to provide a user with a feeling of pressing and to directly sense the mode of implementation on the key structure of the user: Conversion operation to convert the operating mode of the touch keyboard. M429142 The touch keyboard of the present invention comprises a bottom plate, a button module, a touch sensing module and a control core group. The button core group includes a plurality of physical button structures having a pressing stroke disposed on the bottom plate. Each of the physical button structures includes a key cap, and the operation surface is defined on the plurality of key caps. The touch sensing module is disposed on the bottom plate and below the operating surface for sensing a touch operation on the operating surface. The control group is connected to the reliance domain, and (4) the operation signals of the button module and the touch sensing module. The touch keyboard has a first operation mode and a second operation mode. When the touch keyboard is in the second operation mode, if the control module passes through the button module or the control group Sense_-the first mode switching operation implements the machine operating surface, the control group will switch the touch keyboard according to the first mode switching operation from the second operating mode to the first operating mode and according to the first operation The mode selectively ignores the operation of the face group or the touch sensing module to generate an input signal, and the input signal is output to an electronic device that communicates with the touch keyboard. In the same operating area, the user provides two modes of operation, namely, key input and touch input, and the integrated keyboard which is only structured side by side still occupies a space problem. Also, the creation still adopts a physical button structure and has a mixed pressure. The stroke can provide the user's required feel, and the problem of using the touchpad to integrate the virtual keyboard does not provide the user with an effective feel. In addition, this creation can be used for the future. The site sensing implements the '-·,,, and the mode switching operation to switch the operation mode, and does not need to occupy the data processing resources of the electronic device (such as the electric age machine) on which the touch keyboard is connected, and solve the conventional borrowing The inconvenience caused by the switching operation performed by the shouting on the computer domain. [Embodiment] The touch of the example ^Fig. 1 and the g 2 figure 'Fig. 1 is based on the present creation - the preferred concrete block Fig. 2 is a side view of the keyboard 1 'Fig. 2 is the function of the touch keyboard 1 16 (^, the control keyboard 1 includes a bottom plate 12, - the button module 14, a touch sensing module complex line It is shown in Fig. 1 and a control module 18. The button module 14 includes a plurality of bullets (10) having a physical button structure 142 for pressing the button, a switch circuit 144 and a complex trigger member 146, all of which are disposed on the bottom plate 12. The switch circuit 144 has a plurality of open_a corresponding to the physical domain structure ,42, and the elastic trigger _ should be opened 144a. Each of the physical button structures 142 includes a keycap 142a on the keycaps (4)a. M8 (shown in chain 1 in the chain diagram). When the user presses one of them In the case of the cap, the corresponding elastic trigger tear can be broadcasted to trigger the corresponding switch 144a. In the embodiment, the physical button structure 142 is a scissors button, and the switch circuit 144 4-film circuit board The triggering member 146 is a rubber dome; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. The touch sensing module 16 is disposed on the bottom plate 12 and below the operating surface 148 for sensing on the operating surface 148. In the touch operation, for example, the user slides the finger on the surface 148 (ie, the key cap 142a). In the embodiment, the touch sensing module 16 is M429142, but the creation is not limited thereto. In addition, the touch sensing module 16 is disposed in the keycap 142a, but the present invention does not use this as the sensitivity. limit. The control module 18 is electrically connected to the button module 14 and the touch sensing module 16 for sensing the operation signals of the button module 14 and the touch sensing module 16, such as the trigger signal and the touch sense of the switch 144a. The measuring module 16 senses the position L number and the like. The control module 18 generates an input signal S1 based on the operation signals, and outputs the signal to an electronic device 2, such as a computer host, which is in communication with the touch keyboard 1. In practice, the Lu touch keyboard 1 can be connected to the electronic device 2 by a cable, or the electronic device 2 can be wirelessly connected according to the Bluetooth communication standard, but the creation is not limited thereto. In addition, in a continuous product, the touch keyboard i usually includes a casing to form an accommodating space for accommodating the foregoing components, wherein the bottom plate 12 can be accommodated therein or integrated with the casing structure. The first figure shows the structure of the touch keyboard 1 being actuated. Therefore, the control module 18 is not directly shown in the first figure. In practice, the control side group 18 can be set in the exercise body for further description. Tian 1罝 does not ask and refer to Figure 3 'Figure 3 is the dry mode of the operation mode conversion of the touch keyboard 1 in the financial situation, the touch keyboard 1 has - the first operation mode agaze = the formula S22 ' For example, the first---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the second operation mode m to the first - operation = fine 7 M429142: the outline is the button _ type, because the paste mold (four) roots tenderly touch the operation signal of the group 16 to produce the domain s. Similarly, when the touch keyboard丨When in the _ operation mode coffee, the right control surface (four) through the button fishing 14 and difficult _ touch __ first real series fine (10), the control side (four) miscellaneous data first conversion (four) Ε 30 touch keyboard} from the first The operation mode S2〇 is switched to the first mode milk. Since the second operation mode 22 is in the touch operation mode, the control and the operation mode of the key module Μ are generated according to the second operation mode S22 to generate the input signal si. ° & It is added that the above-mentioned key operation mode and touch operation mode are examples, but the creation is not limited thereto. For example, in an implementation scenario, the second mode of operation is: a button operation mode or a touch operation mode, and the first operation mode is a mixture. The operation panel type, for example, defines a portion of the operation surface 148 as a touch operation area, and the rest remains the listening field. When the touch panel i is in the hybrid operation mode, the control module 18 switches the operation signals of the general & M and the touch minus group 6 to generate an input signal si; The operation of the button module (4) will be ignored by the control module 18, and the operation of the touch sensing module in the button operation area will be ignored by the control module and the button 18. In addition, in the operation of the touch keyboard 1, the painless control keyboard 1 is in the button county mode or the operation mode, and the control module U = continuously receives the operation signals of the face group M and the contact bank group 16, so the first core type The conversion operation E3G can be generated by the button module 触 and the touch reduction module Μ. For example, the sliding touch operation described as the first mode conversion operation # leg may be a single «429142 - linear slide, or may be - a two-dimensional pattern track. For example, the pressing operation of the key cap is performed as the first mode switching operation, or even the combination operation of the sliding touch on the operation surface 148 on the specific cap 142a. As the first mode conversion operation E3〇. ^ In addition, in the implementation scenario of Figure 3, since the touch keyboard is only fine 2, the only mode-to-mode conversion operation can be deleted to make it touch the ^ style gamma, simplifying the type of mode conversion operation, but This is limited to this. For example, the first mode conversion operation is converted to the first operation trigger (four)' and the mode conversion operation is used as a trigger operation for switching to the second mode S22. At this time, each mode of operation corresponds to the mode mode. When the control panel 1 is in the first operation mode, the user still maintains the touch keyboard i even if the U brother reduces the conversion operation E30: the actual application only needs to directly implement the key: the user = touch keyboard i converts to the desired operating mode, without the keyboard 1 mode of operation, to avoid the trouble of the conversion mode.桓Μ # Touch keyboard 1 In addition to the first operation = coffee and brother: known as the mode S22, there is still a third operation mode, when the 14 1 is in the second operation mode S22, if the control module 18 is pressed _ and touch _ group 丨 6 sense _- second butterfly change side implementation =; surface (four) E32 9 M429142 disk! Since the operation mode S22 is switched to the third operation mode and according to the third operation, the core type S24 selectively ignores the drop of the button module 14 or the touch sensing module (4). Because of the actual gift, _ has three kinds; ^ type S20, S22 and S24, therefore, in practice, each mode of operation = 〇, S22 and S24 corresponds to the slave-mode conversion operation. If the first operation mode _^^ = is applied to the operation surface 148, the control mode (4) will also operate the touch keyboard (4) and the second operation mode S24; when the touch keyboard i is in the third operation mode, The control module 18 senses that the first mode conversion operation is implemented on the operation surface M8, and the touch control keyboard is in the operation mode S20 or the third operation mode. When the control panel 18 is switched to the second operation mode S22, the control panel 18 is switched to the second operation mode S22. Regardless of the touch keyboard operator: the operation mode S20, S22 or S24, the control group 18 selectively ignores the button module 14 or the touch sense ',,,,, according to the touch keyboard i S2〇iS22 or 汹' Operation signal to generate input signal si. In the foregoing implementation scenario, each of the operation modes S2〇, S22, and S24 corresponds to a specific switching operation, 4 and fat, so the user can directly implement the corresponding mode conversion operations E30, E34 of h S2〇, S22, and S24. And E32, helmet with touch keyboard 丨 current operating mode S2G, S22 or similar, can avoid the trouble of conversion module 4, but this creation is still not limited to this, for example, only a single mode conversion operation, touch keyboard 1 Then, the operation mode is sequentially switched between S20, S22 and S24, thereby reducing the burden on the user's memory mode switching operation. In addition, in practical applications, the first operation mode gamma can be a -key operation mode, the second operation mode S22 is a hybrid operation mode, and the second operation mode S24 is a touch operation mode, whereby the touch keyboard is used! The user can provide three-sided tilting, but the creation is not limited to this. For example, in the hybrid operation architecture, a variety of operating modes are generated by the configuration of the button operating area and the touch operating area. As described above, the present invention provides two modes of operation for the user in the same operation area, namely, key input and touch input, and can use the combination of the two inputs to form a new operation mode, which is solved compared with the prior art. It is conventional to know that only the side-by-side integrated keyboard is still a problem of space. In addition, the creation still adopts a physical button structure, and has a dust-stroke stroke, which can provide the user's desired hand feeling, and the solution to the integration of the virtual keyboard with the touchpad cannot provide the effective hand-feel of the user. In addition, the present invention can directly and independently sense the mode conversion operation switching operation mode implemented on the physical button structure, and the data processing resources of the electronic device connected to the touch keyboard are not used. The inconvenience caused by the application running on the e-month host. The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of patent application of this creation should be covered by this creation.
