Definitions
- the present invention relates to a thin keypad, in particularly to a thin keypad that includes a capacitive sensor and provides haptic feedback.
- a user interface needs to provide a sufficient number of controls to manage the inherent complexity of the mobile phone whilst ensuring that there are not too many controls are options available to the user at any one time, thereby causing confusion.
- aspects of the invention aim to provide a user interface that is better adapted to meet these contradicting demands.
- mobile devices such as mobile phones, PDA's, music or multimedia players, cameras, navigation devices, etc.
- a mobile device comprising a keypad and a processor, the keypad comprising a top surface layer, a light guide layer below the top surface layer one or more optical sources controlled by the processor and coupled to the light guide, a capacitive sensor coupled to the processor, and a piezo element coupled to the processor, the capacitive sensor being configured to sense touch contact and location on the top surface layer, and the piezo element being configured to sense pressure applied to the top surface.
- the piezo element is configured for vibrating the keyboard.
- the processor can be configured to detect a keystroke via a signal from the piezo element.
- the processor can be configured to send a vibration signal by activation of the piezo element upon detection of a keystroke.
- haptic feedback can be provided to the user to indicate that a keystroke has been accepted, thereby improving user confidence in a way that does not require a large thickness, like in mechanical "click” systems, and that does not require the use of irritating beeps for confirming a keystroke.
- the top surface layer can be monolithic.
- the keypad can also be used as a touchpad.
- the top surface layer may comprise a plurality of discrete keys.
- the top surface layer can be a keymat .
- a part of the capacitive sensor can be formed by a semi- conductive layer and the non-conductive top surface layer.
- This object is achieved by providing a capacitive keypad construction comprising an electrically non-conductive top surface layer that is at least locally transparent to light, a capacitive sensor layer under the top surface layer, a piezo layer, and an electrically non-conducting light guide layer disposed between the capacitive sensor layer and the piezo layer.
- the capacitive sensor layer is sensitive to high voltage.
- the piezo layer uses high-voltage. By placing the electrically non-conducting light guide layer between the capacitive sensor layer and the piezo layer, the light guide layer assumes a second function, namely electrically insulating the capacitive layer from the piezo layer. By using one layer for two functions, one physical layer can be omitted form the keypad and the thickness of the resulting keypad is reduced.
- the piezo layer can include a piezo sensor.
- the piezo layer can include a piezo actuator.
- the light guide can be provided with embossed gratings or with micro-prisms for coupling out light through the top surface layer.
- This object is achieved by providing a thin keypad comprising an at least locally transparent top surface layer, a light guide layer below the top surface layer, one or more optical sources coupled to the light guide, the light guide layer being configured to emit light received from the optical source through the top surface layer in at least two patterns with different graphical layouts, and the light guide and the one or more optical sources being configured to selectively emit the light in one of the at least two patterns.
- the patterns can represent groups of different keypad icons .
- the light guide can be provided with embossed gratings or with micro-prisms for out coupling light through the top surface layer.
- the light guide can comprise a diftractive light guide sheet with insulation films on both sides.
- the diffractive light guide can comprise multiple layers for providing more than two separate patterns.
- the top layer can comprise a plurality of discrete keys.
- the top layer can be a keymat .
- the keypad may comprise a layer with a plurality of collapsible domes that is disposed below the light guide layer.
- the keypad may further comprise a layer with downwardly projecting dome pins disposed between the light guide layer and the layer with collapsible domes.
- the top surface layer can be monolithic.
- the keypad may include a capacitive sensor, preferably a part of the capacitive sensor is formed a semi-conductive layer and the non-conductive top surface layer.
- the insulation layers can be formed by liquid layers.
- the insulation layers can be formed by layers with a refraction index that substantially differs from the refraction index of the light guide.
- the insulation layers can be formed by thin air gaps. It is another object of the invention to provide a method for user input that does not have or at least reduces the drawbacks explained above. This object is achieved by providing a method for user input and feedback with a keypad or touchpad that includes a capacitive touch sensor, a pressure sensor and an actuator, the method comprising determining the position on the keypad or touch pad at which an object touches by means of a signal from the capacitive touch sensor, determining the pressure at which the keypad or touchpad is touched by means of the pressure sensor, accepting user input in accordance with the detected position and pressure, and providing feedback to the user by activating the actuator in accordance with the detected user input.
- a moving low to medium pressure contact with the keypad or touchpad can be interpreted as a navigational input.
- a substantially nonmoving medium to high pressure contact with the keypad or touchpad can be interpreted as a keystroke.
- the actuator can be activated upon detection of a keystroke for providing the user with haptic feedback concerning the acceptance of the keystroke.
- the actuator can be activated during detection of navigational input.
- the type of activation of the actuator can be dependent on the type of input and/or on the type of application in which the input is used and or on the other operating conditions of the device in which the keypad is used. Further objects, features, advantages and properties of the keypad and mobile device according to the invention will become apparent from the detailed description.
