Embodiment 1

[0020] Such as figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural view of the flexible fabric operation controller of the present invention. figure 1 Middle: 101 is the function definition layer, 102 is the upper conductive fabric layer, 103 is the insulating barrier layer, 104 is the lower conductive fabric layer, 105 is the electrode, 106 is the protective layer, 107 is the control circuit. The numbers and icons contained in the function definition layer 101 are function symbols, which also have protection functions. This layer divides the effective control area in grid or other forms, and defines the function of each local area according to the control object and control efficiency, or it can be defined according to the definition of a standard keyboard, mouse, or touchpad. This layer is made of waterproof insulating fabric, and the symbols are placed on the fabric by sewing, printing and dyeing, while protecting the inner fabric. 102 and 104 are the upper conductive fabric layer a...

Embodiment 2

[0025] Others are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that: the insulating barrier layer 103 is realized by chemical fiber mesh. The electrode 105 is made of copper film, which is respectively fixed on the left and right ends of the upper conductive fabric layer and the front and rear sides of the lower conductive fabric layer by lamination to form horizontal and vertical output electrodes.

Embodiment 3

[0027] Others are the same as in Embodiment 1, the difference is that: the upper conductive fabric layer 102 and the lower conductive fabric layer 104 respectively use conductive fabrics with a surface resistance of hundreds to tens of thousands of ohms conductive coating. The insulating isolation barrier layer 103 is realized by using cotton fabric grid. The electrodes 105 are made of silver-plated conductive fabric, which are respectively fixed on the left and right ends of the upper conductive fabric layer and the front and rear sides of the lower conductive fabric layer by sewing or lamination to form horizontal and vertical output electrodes.

[0028] The beneficial effect of the invention is that the fabric is used to form the control interface, which not only obtains a powerful control function, but also has the performance of the fabric, is light in weight, small in size, foldable, portable, and easy to integrate with other fabrics such as clothing. It adopts the princ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flexible fabric operation controller, in particular to a flexible fabric operation controller based on conductive fabric and having the functions of keyboard input and mouse control. As an operation control input device, it can be connected to computers and other devices with information processing functions to provide a flexible interactive means based on fabric. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of electronic technology, huge electronic equipment is gradually miniaturized, low power consumption, and highly integrated. Mobile phones, PDAs, and even ultra-portable computers continue to emerge and gradually integrate into the lives of the public. Convenient and practical electronic devices have become an indispensable device in people's daily life, but the common input devices that people are familiar with: standard keyboards, mice and other traditional computer input devices, but due to thei...
