Problems solved by technology

This method also needs to switch before each operation, which is very inconvenient
[0006] The existing technology uses the context of recognizing the gesture and setting the threshold of sliding and the force of tapping to determine whether it is position input or key input, but it cannot distinguish the confirmation key of the mouse from the general keyboard key input.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] This program mainly uses the touch panel of the finger to input when the keyboard key is input, and when performing position input and mouse button input, it must be input on a small metal plate, so that the cursor position input and the keyboard key input Separated, you can also set buttons on the small board.

[0021] Then the method of distinction is to distinguish the area input of the touch firstly. If it is a small board area, it is used as a position input, and the sliding input smaller than the small board area is used as a keyboard tapping input.

[0022] Figure 2A is a logical block diagram of the input device according to the present invention. Such as Figure 2A As shown, the input device includes: a positioning board 202, the bottom surface of the positioning board has a conductive layer; a touch surface bo...

Abstract

The invention provides an input device, an input method and a notebook computer. The device includes: a locating plate which has a conducting layer on bottom; a touch control panel which connects with the locating plate, area of the touch control panel is larger than bottom area of the conducting layer of the locating plate, the locating plate slides on the touch control panel; a first capacitance sensing layer which connects with the touch control panel and connects with the locating plate through the touch control panel for sensing a first area value on the touch control panel generated by the user's input operation in a first time; a first comparing unit which connects with the first capacitance sensing layer, compares the first area value and a waited-compared value for generating a comparing value; a processing unit which connects with the first comparing unit and judges the input operation whether being input by mouse or keyboard according with the comparing value. The device, the method and the notebook computer provided by the invention can solve problem of distinguishing position moving operation on the touch control panel and keyboard pressboard knocking input, blend the touch control panel and the keyboard fully, and has more higher input precision.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computers, in particular to an input device and method and a notebook computer. Background technique [0002] The keyboard and mouse of the notebook are becoming more and more integrated, which is manifested in smaller and smaller volumes and requires a smaller area. At present, the touch panel and the keyboard occupy a part of the space respectively (such as figure 1 As shown), the size of the notebook cannot be reduced. In some small models, only TRACK POINT is used to save space, but the application of TRACKPOINT is limited, and some novice users are unwilling to use it. [0003] An existing solution is to combine the touch panel and the keyboard in space, but operate separately in time, and use a switch key to operate in the middle, but it is obviously troublesome to switch before each operation . [0004] Another existing solution is mainly used on the touch screen, and there is a judging mechanism to judge ...
