Description

멀티입력장치Multi input device
본 발명은 멀티입력장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 저가이면서도 사용자 편의성이 높은 멀티입력장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a multi-input device, and more particularly, to a multi-input device with low cost and high user convenience.
컴퓨터 입력장치에서 사용되는 키보드는 문자 사용자 인터페이스(Character User Interface, CUI) 환경에서부터 사용되어 가장 널리 이용되는 입력장치이다. Keyboards used in computer input devices are the most widely used input devices from the character user interface (CUI) environment.
최근에는 스마트폰이나 태블릿이 대중화되면서 터치기능이 일반화되고 있으며, Window 8.1 이후에는 일반적인 PC에서도 기능을 구현할 수 있게 되었다. 이에 따라 터치가 가능한 모니터도 제품화되어 키보드를 대체하고 있는 추세이다. Recently, as smartphones and tablets have become popular, touch functions have become commonplace, and after Window 8.1, functions can be implemented on general PCs. Accordingly, monitors that can be touched are being commercialized and replacing keyboards.
그러나, 모니터가 대형화되면서 모니터와의 적정 시청거리가 늘어나고, 장시간 업무 특성상 사용자가 모니터에 근접해서 업무를 수행하기는 어려워 터치모니터의 경우 실질적으로는 낮은 업무상 활용도를 가진다. However, as the size of the monitor increases, an appropriate viewing distance with the monitor increases, and it is difficult for a user to perform a task in close proximity to the monitor due to the nature of the work for a long time.
기존의 터치형 모니터는 정전용량방식 등을 적용하는 경우, 높은 가격이 문제시되었다. 디스플레이 제작기술이 발전하면 가격이 낮아지나 모니터의 대형화에 따라 일정수준 이하의 가격경쟁력을 갖추는 것은 여전히 문제가 된다. 또한, 또한 모니터 화면을 직접 터치해야 하기 때문에 화면의 오염으로 인한 세척 등의 불편함이 지적되었다. Existing touch type monitors have been considered to have high price when capacitive type is applied. As display manufacturing technology advances, the price is lowered, but it is still a problem to have a price competitiveness below a certain level due to the increase in size of the monitor. In addition, it is pointed out that inconvenience due to the contamination of the screen, such as cleaning because the touch screen must be touched directly.
본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은, 저가이면서도 사용자 편의성이 높은 멀티입력장치를 제공함에 있다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-input device with low cost and high user convenience.

적외선 터치형 입력장치는 발광유닛을 포함하는 발광부 및 수광유닛을 포함하는 수광부를 포함할 수 있다. The infrared touch input device may include a light emitting unit including a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit including a light receiving unit.
발광부는 키보드 입력장치 상의 제1지점에 위치하고, 수광부는 발광유닛으로부터 발생한 광을 수광유닛이 수광할 수 있는 키보드 입력장치 상의 제2지점에 위치할 수 있다. The light emitting unit may be located at a first point on the keyboard input device, and the light receiving unit may be located at a second point on the keyboard input device through which the light receiving unit may receive light generated from the light emitting unit.
발광부는 제1지점에서 회전가능하고, 수광부는 제2지점에서 회전가능할 수 있다. The light emitting portion may be rotatable at the first point, and the light receiving portion may be rotatable at the second point.
적외선 터치형 입력장치는 키보드 입력장치와 0° 내지 180°에서 변화가능한 각도를 갖도록 장착될 수 있다. The infrared touch input device may be mounted to have a variable angle with the keyboard input device at 0 ° to 180 °.

In particular, according to the present invention, by applying the IR touch screen technology that can recognize the coordinates of the x, y axis is possible to accurately locate and can be used from a long distance, the user when performing a task using a keyboard, such as a word processor operation or a game While it is possible to increase the convenience of the touch panel, unlike the existing capacitive touch panel, it is possible to apply it to the high price competitiveness and the method of adding it to the existing system by using an inexpensive IR method.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. Embodiments of the present invention are provided to more fully describe the present invention to those skilled in the art. In the accompanying drawings, there may be a component having a specific pattern or having a predetermined thickness, but this is for convenience of description or distinction. It is not limited only.
도 1은 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치의 사시도이다. 본 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치(100)는, 키보드 입력장치(110); 및 키보드 입력장치(110)에 장착되는 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120);를 포함한다. 1 is a perspective view of a multi-input device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-input device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a keyboard input device 110; And an infrared touch input device 120 mounted on the keyboard input device 110.
키보드 입력장치(110)는 통상 컴퓨터 키보드(Computer keyboard)로서, 타자기의 자판과 비슷한 형상의 컴퓨터 입력장치 중 하나이다. 이메일이나 워드 프로세서 등에서 숫자 및 문자를 입력할 때 많이 쓰이며, 게임이나 각종 애플리케이션에서도 유용한 단축키와 특수 명령 기능을 제공한다. PC 입력 방식은 초창기부터 현재까지 쭉 텍스트 위주로 이루어져 왔기 때문에, 키보드는 가장 오래된 PC 입력장치 중 하나이자 가장 대중적인 입력장치이다. The keyboard input device 110 is typically a computer keyboard and is one of computer input devices having a shape similar to that of a typewriter. It is often used to enter numbers and characters in e-mails and word processors, and provides shortcuts and special commands that are useful in games and other applications. Since PC input methods have been mainly text-based from the beginning, the keyboard is one of the oldest and most popular input devices.
컴퓨터 입력장치로서 키보드가 주로 사용된 이유는 이전의 컴퓨터가 문자 사용자 인터페이스(Character User Interface, CUI) 환경에서 운영되어 문자나 숫자 등의 입력이 용이한 키보드가 현재까지 사용되고 있는 것이다. CUI 환경의 컴퓨터에서 키보드를 통해 명령어를 입력하면 컴퓨터가 작업을 수행하여 화면에 글자로 표시하게 된다. The reason why the keyboard is mainly used as a computer input device is that a keyboard, which is easy to input letters and numbers, is being used until the previous computer is operated in a character user interface (CUI) environment. When a command is entered through a keyboard on a computer in a CUI environment, the computer performs a task and displays the text on the screen.
이후, 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(Graphic User Interface, GUI)가 등장하면서, CUI와는 다르게 글자뿐만 아니라, 화면에 아이콘을 띄워 마우스를 이용하여 화면에 있는 아이콘을 클릭하여 작업을 수행하는 방식이 통용되면서 키보드는 마우스와 함께 사용된다.Since the Graphic User Interface (GUI) has appeared, unlike the CUI, not only letters but also icons on the screen are used to perform operations by clicking icons on the screen using a mouse.

본 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치(100)는 키보드 입력장치(110)에 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)가 장착된 입력장치이다. 본 명세서에서 멀티입력장치라 함은 동시에 2개의 입력이 수행되는 것이 아니라, 2이상의 데이터 입력이 가능한 입력장치가 포함된 입력장치를 의미한다. The multi-input device 100 according to the present embodiment is an input device in which the infrared touch input device 120 is mounted on the keyboard input device 110.

The infrared touch input device 120 may detect a touch by an infrared method. The infrared touch input device 120 generates current (or voltage) when the infrared light of the light emitting unit 121 is received by the light receiving unit 122.

발광부(121)는 적외광을 발생시키는 발광유닛(미도시)을 포함한다. 발광유닛으로는 IR LD(Infrared Laser Diode) 또는 LED(Light Emitting Device)가 사용될 수 있으나 이에 한정되는 것은 아니다.The light emitting unit 121 includes a light emitting unit (not shown) for generating infrared light. An IR LD (Infrared Laser Diode) or LED (Light Emitting Device) may be used as the light emitting unit, but is not limited thereto.

At least one of a photodiode, a photoreceiver, and a photo-coupler may be used as the light receiving unit 132, but is not limited thereto.
도 1에서 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)는 사각형의 막대형상으로서 서로 대향하는 일면에 발광유닛 및 수광유닛(132)을 포함하도록 도시되었으나, 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)는 서로 대향하여 발광부(121)가 발광한 적외광을 수광부(122)가 수광할 수 있도록 상대적으로 위치하고 그 형상도 적외광의 발광 및 수광이 가능한 형태로 형성될 수 있다. In FIG. 1, the light emitting unit 121 and the light receiving unit 122 are illustrated in a rectangular bar shape to include a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit 132 on opposite surfaces, but the light emitting unit 121 and the light receiving unit 122 are each other. The infrared light emitted from the light emitter 121 may be relatively positioned so that the light receiver 122 may receive the light, and the shape may be formed in a form capable of emitting and receiving infrared light.
발광부(121)는 키보드 입력장치(110) 상의 제1지점에 위치하고, 수광부(122)는 발광유닛으로부터 발생한 광을 수광유닛(132)이 수광할 수 있는 키보드 입력장치(110) 상의 제2지점에 위치할 수 있다. 도 1에서는 사각형의 키보드형상에서 일모서리를 제1지점으로 하여 발광부(121)가 위치하고, 이와 인접한 모서리를 제2지점으로 하여 수광부(122)가 위치하고 있다.The light emitting unit 121 is positioned at a first point on the keyboard input device 110, and the light receiving unit 122 is at a second point on the keyboard input device 110 through which the light receiving unit 132 can receive light generated from the light emitting unit. It can be located at In FIG. 1, the light emitting unit 121 is positioned with one edge as a first point in a rectangular keyboard shape, and the light receiving unit 122 is positioned with an adjacent edge thereof as a second point.
이와 달리 발광유닛 및 수광유닛(132)의 위치와 방향을 조절하여 수광부(122)는 키보드 모서리가 아닌 키보드 일측면 중간에 위치할 수도 있다. 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)의 거리가 멀어질수록 넓은 면적의 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120) 구현이 가능하고, 사용자가 키보드 입력장치(110)와 정면으로 위치하지 않은 경우에도 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)의 위치 조절로 사용자의 사용이 편리한 방향 및 위치에 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120) 화면 형성이 가능하다. Alternatively, the light receiving unit 122 may be positioned in the middle of one side of the keyboard instead of the edge of the keyboard by adjusting the positions and directions of the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit 132. As the distance between the light emitting unit 121 and the light receiving unit 122 increases, a wider area of the infrared touch input device 120 may be realized, and the light emitting unit may not be positioned in front of the keyboard input device 110. By adjusting the position of the 121 and the light receiver 122, the screen of the infrared touch input device 120 may be formed in a direction and a position that are convenient for the user to use.
또한, 도 1에서는 하나의 발광유닛에서 하나의 수광유닛(132)으로 하나의 적외광이 진행하는 것으로 도시되어 있으나, 하나의 발광유닛에서 하나 이상의 적외광이 발광될 수 있다. In addition, although one infrared light proceeds from one light emitting unit to one light receiving unit 132 in FIG. 1, one or more infrared light may be emitted from one light emitting unit.
도 2는 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치에서 적외선 터치형 입력장치의 키보드 입력장치에 대한 각도의 변화를 설명하는데 제공되는 도면이다. 본 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치(100)에서 발광부는 회전부(140)를 중심으로 제1지점에서 회전가능하고, 수광부(122)는 제2지점에서 회전가능할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)는 키보드 입력장치와 0° 내지 180°에서 변화가능한 각도(θ)를 갖도록 장착될 수 있다.2 is a view provided to explain the change in the angle of the keyboard input device of the infrared touch input device in the multi-input device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the multi-input device 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the light emitting part may be rotatable at a first point about the rotating part 140, and the light receiving part 122 may be rotatable at a second point. Accordingly, the infrared touch input device 120 may be mounted to have a variable angle θ at 0 ° to 180 ° with the keyboard input device.
발광부(121-1) 및 수광부(122-1)가 키보드 입력장치(110)와 θ1의 각도로 장착되면, θ1은 90°내지 180°사이이므로 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)는 키보드 입력장치(110)와 90°내지 180°사이의 각도로 적외선 터치스크린을 형성하게 된다. 또한, 발광부(121-2) 및 수광부(122-2)가 키보드 입력장치(110)와 θ2의 각도로 장착되면, θ2는 0°내지 90°사이이므로 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)는 키보드 입력장치(110)와 0°내지 90°사이의 각도로 적외선 터치스크린을 형성하게 된다. 이에 따라, 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)는 사용자와 키보드 입력장치(110) 및 디스플레이 화면간의 상호 위치를 고려하여 위치할 수 있다. 또한, 사용자가 상하로 좁은 공간에 위치하는 경우, 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)와 키보드 입력장치(110)의 각도를 조절하여 최적의 터치스크린 구현이 가능하다. When the light emitter 121-1 and the light receiver 122-1 are mounted at an angle of θ 1 with the keyboard input device 110, θ 1 is between 90 ° and 180 °, so that the infrared touch input device 120 may have a keyboard. An infrared touch screen is formed at an angle between the input device 110 and 90 ° to 180 °. In addition, when the light emitting unit 121-2 and the light receiving unit 122-2 are mounted at an angle of θ 2 with the keyboard input device 110, θ 2 is between 0 ° and 90 °, so that the infrared touch input device 120 is included. The infrared touch screen is formed at an angle between the keyboard input device 110 and 0 ° to 90 °. Accordingly, the infrared touch input device 120 may be positioned in consideration of mutual positions between the user, the keyboard input device 110 and the display screen. In addition, when the user is located in a narrow space up and down, it is possible to implement the optimum touch screen by adjusting the angle of the infrared touch input device 120 and the keyboard input device 110.
도 3은 본 발명의 일실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치에서 키보드 입력장치와 일체형으로 장착된 적외선 터치형 입력장치가 도시된 도면이다. 본 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치는 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)가 키보드 입력장치(110)와 일체형으로 장착될 수 있는 형태로 구현된다. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an infrared touch input device integrated with a keyboard input device in a multi-input device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-input device according to the present embodiment is implemented in a form in which the infrared touch input device 120 may be integrally mounted with the keyboard input device 110.
적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)는 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)가 회전부(140)를 중심으로 키보드 입력장치(110)의 측면으로 회전하여 이동하게 된다. 이에 따라 도 3에서와 같이 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)는 키보드 입력장치(110)의 측면에 장착되고, 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120) 및 키보드 입력장치(110)는 일체형 입력장치 형태로 구현된다. 다만, 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)의 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)가 키보드 입력장치(110)의 측면에 위치하여 발광부(121)로부터 적외광 발광이 불가능하기 때문에 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)의 미사용시에 본 실시예와 같이 장착 가능하다. In the infrared touch input device 120, the light emitter 121 and the light receiver 122 rotate and move to the side of the keyboard input device 110 about the rotating part 140. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, the infrared touch input device 120 is mounted on the side of the keyboard input device 110, and the infrared touch input device 120 and the keyboard input device 110 are implemented as an integrated input device. do. However, since the light emitting unit 121 and the light receiving unit 122 of the infrared touch input device 120 are positioned at the side of the keyboard input device 110, infrared light emission is not possible from the light emitting unit 121. When not in use, the device 120 can be mounted as in the present embodiment.
만약, 사용자가 키보드 입력장치(110)를 이동시키고자 하는 경우, 도 1의 실시예에서의 경우와 같이 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)가 키보드 입력장치(110)와 90°의 각도로 위치하도록 하여 이동시킬 수도 있으나, 도 3의 실시예에서의 경우와 같이 적외선 터치형 입력장치(120)를 키보드 입력장치(110)에 일체형으로 장착하여 부피를 최소화한다면 이동효율성이 극대화된다. If the user wants to move the keyboard input device 110, the infrared touch input device 120 is positioned at an angle of 90 ° with the keyboard input device 110 as in the embodiment of FIG. 1. 3, the infrared touch type input device 120 is integrally mounted to the keyboard input device 110 to minimize the volume.
도 4는 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치의 사시도이다. 본 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치(200)는 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)가 키보드 입력장치(210)의 외주면을 둘러싸도록 형성된다. 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)는 발광부(221) 및 수광부(222)와 함께 발광부(221)와 수광부(222)를 연결하는 연결부(223)로 연결되어 있다. 도 1의 멀티입력장치(100)에서는 발광부(121) 및 수광부(122)가 기둥형태로 구현되어, 각각 하단이 키보드 입력장치(110)와 연결되어 장착되어 있었으나 본 실시예에서의 멀티입력장치(200)에서는 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)가 하나의 장치로서 연결되어 구현된다. 4 is a perspective view of a multi-input device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the multi-input device 200 according to the present exemplary embodiment, the infrared touch input device 220 is formed to surround the outer circumferential surface of the keyboard input device 210. The infrared touch input device 220 is connected to the light emitting unit 221 and the light receiving unit 222 by a connection unit 223 connecting the light emitting unit 221 and the light receiving unit 222. In the multi-input device 100 of FIG. 1, the light emitting unit 121 and the light receiving unit 122 are implemented in a columnar shape, and the lower end is connected to the keyboard input device 110, respectively. In 200, the infrared touch input device 220 is implemented as one device.
적외선 터치형 입력장치의 크기가 작은 경우에는 도 1의 실시예에서와 같이 발광부 및 수광부가 각각 하단만 고정되어 있어도 회전이나 접히는 경우에도 손상이나 파손문제가 발생할 가능성이 낮으나 적외선 터치형 입력장치의 크기가 크거나 발광부 및 수광부의 면적이 작거나 두께가 얇은 경우 이동시 또는 충격시 손상이나 파손문제가 발생할 수 있다. When the size of the infrared touch input device is small, as shown in the embodiment of FIG. If the size is large or the area of the light emitting portion and the light receiving portion is small or thin, the damage or breakage may occur during movement or impact.
또한, 연결부(223)에 추가로 발광유닛 및 수광유닛을 구비하여 감도가 높은 적외광 센싱 터치스크린을 구현할 수 있다. In addition, the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit may be provided in addition to the connection unit 223 to implement an infrared light sensing touch screen having high sensitivity.
도 4에서는 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)의 발광부(221) 및 수광부(222)의 상단 및 하단이 모두 연결부로 연결되어 있어 전체 형상이 사각형인 실시예가 도시되어 있으나, 이와 달리 발광부 및 수광부의 상단이나 하단 중 어느 하나만이 연결된 형태의 적외선 터치형 입력장치도 구현가능하다. In FIG. 4, an embodiment in which the upper and lower ends of the light emitting unit 221 and the light receiving unit 222 of the infrared touch input device 220 are connected to each other by a connection part is illustrated in the form of a rectangle. It is also possible to implement an infrared touch input device of which only one of the top and bottom of the connected type is connected.
도 5는 본 발명의 다른 실시예에 따른 멀티입력장치에서 멀티입력장치로부터 분리된 적외선 터치형 입력장치가 도시된 도면이다. 본 실시예에서 멀티입력장치(200)는 키보드 입력장치(210)로부터 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)가 분리되어 있다. 즉, 도 4에서의 멀티입력장치(200)에서는 키보드 입력장치(210)와 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)가 결합되어 있으나, 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)는 사각형 형상으로서 자체적으로 스크린 형성이 가능하므로 사용자의 필요에 따라 분리되어 사용될 수 있다. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an infrared touch type input device separated from a multi input device in a multi input device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the multi-input device 200 is separated from the keyboard input device 210 by the infrared touch input device 220. That is, in the multi-input device 200 of FIG. 4, the keyboard input device 210 and the infrared touch input device 220 are combined, but the infrared touch input device 220 has a rectangular shape and has a screen formed by itself. It can be used separately according to user needs.
분리가능한 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220)는 키보드 입력장치(210) 이외의 다른 키보드 입력장치에 장착하여 사용되거나 다른 기기등에 장착되어 사용될 수 있다. The detachable infrared touch input device 220 may be used by being attached to a keyboard input device other than the keyboard input device 210 or may be mounted on another device.
도 5에서는 적외선 터치형 입력장치(220) 전체가 키보드 입력장치(210)와 분리될 수 있도록 구현되었으나, 이와 달리 발광부 및 수광부가 각각 분리가능하도록 구현될 수 있다. In FIG. 5, the entire infrared touch input device 220 is implemented to be separated from the keyboard input device 210. Alternatively, the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit may be separated from each other.
즉, 도 1에서의 실시예와 같이 발광부 및 수광부가 연결되어 있지 않은 경우, 발광부 및 수광부가 각각 키보드 입력장치로부터 분리가능하도록 구현될 수 있다. 예를 들어, 발광부는 키보드 입력장치에 장착되어 있고, 수광부가 키보드 입력장치로부터 분리된다면, 사용자의 필요에 따라 발광부 및 수광부가 형성하는 터치스크린의 크기와 위치가 조절될 수 있다. That is, when the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit are not connected as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit may be implemented to be separated from the keyboard input device. For example, if the light emitting unit is mounted on the keyboard input device and the light receiving unit is separated from the keyboard input device, the size and position of the touch screen formed by the light emitting unit and the light receiving unit may be adjusted according to a user's needs.
