Method for implementing full-size keyboard on small-size equipment

Abstract

The invention provides a novel keyboard layout, which resets all the keys in a traditional keyboard layout except letter keys and a space key. The keys on the keyboard, of which the lateral length is longer than the length of a device, are transferred. And one or more lines of keys are added to the longitudinal height of the keyboard to install the keys transferred from the lateral length, and a part of the keys is mergered, a part of the keys are added and a part of the keys are removed as required. Touch bars are arranged at the periphery of the keyboard and can be used for selecting the input options of the input languages in a sliding manner and operating the sliders on the left, the right, the upper and the lower parts of a screen; moreover, two of the touch bars can be operated to realize the functions of enlargement, shrinkage, flexibility, translation and rotation.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the field of man-machine interface. Background technique: [0002] Due to the continuous development of technology, electronic devices can realize original functions in smaller and smaller sizes. For example, the earliest computer was as big as a room, and later it developed into a desktop computer, and then a notebook computer, and the size became smaller and smaller. As people's requirements for the portability of electronic products are getting higher and higher, various portable electronic devices with a screen size smaller than 12 inches have emerged in recent years after notebook computers, such as Netbook, UMPC, MID and so on. However, the original method cannot realize a full-size keyboard on a device with a screen size smaller than 12 inches. At present, the usual method of various manufacturers is to reduce the size of the keys to place the keyboard on the device. The keys of this method are usually only 70% to 80%...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the mechanical design of this method is complicated, the cost is high, and it is difficult to popularize

And this method is more suitable for external keyboards, it is difficult to make built-in keyboards

[0004] Another method currently available is an external roll-up keyboard made of flexible materials, which is low in cost, but this kind of keyboard input feels not very good, and it is rarely used at present.
