Keyboard device with hand crank operation

The present invention relates to a keyboard output device, and more particularly to a keyboard device having a hand crank operation.

The keyboard and mouse are two kinds of input devices commonly used in computer operation. The keyboard is one of the peripheral devices of the computer. It is developed by the typewriter keyboard. The keyboard can input characters and control the execution of the computer. The mouse can position the cursor on the current screen and use the buttons and scroll wheel to operate the screen elements at the position where the cursor passes.

Although the mouse can issue positioning commands that cannot be made by the keyboard, the mouse collection is not easy for the mobile computer, so the touchpad (Touchpad) was developed on the notebook computer, although it is not as convenient as the mouse, but it is not as convenient as the mouse. It can really replace the computer.

Referring to FIG. 1 , which is a smart keyboard 100 for establishing a two-way communication between a television 200 and a portable device 300, including a wireless module 102 and a plug-in module 104, A touch module 106, a processing module 108, a memory 110, a speaker 112, a microphone 114, a charging base 116, and a button portion 118.

The wireless module 102 establishes a wireless connection WLC with the television 200. The processing module 108 generates an operation command by the touch module 106, and controls the operation of the television 200 through the wireless connection WLC.

When the portable device 300 is fixed to the plug-in module At 104 o'clock, the television 200 can be controlled by the wireless link WLC to display information of the portable device 300.

Although it is known that a keyboard combined with a touchpad can replace the control technology of the mouse, after the actual use, it still has the following disadvantages:

First, causing discomfort in the hand: Although the keyboard disclosed by the prior art has used the touchpad to operate the coordinates of the computer screen, the touchpad and the mouse must operate with the palm facing down, using the muscles on the back of the arm. Operation, after a long time of use, will cause discomfort in the hand.

Second, the game can not be manipulated: Many computer games must use the joystick device for delicate operation, the keyboard or mouse can not be used to control the game, you must set the joystick device to play the game.

Third, you can't control the volume finely: the traditional keyboard does not have the function of controlling the volume. The keyboard of the notebook must also use the combination key to control the volume. Generally, the volume control of the combination key cannot control the volume finely.

Therefore, how to make the arm easier to operate the computer, and to carry out delicate manipulations for the joystick game, and to instantly adjust the volume, is a goal that the technicians need to work hard.
