Abstract

The invention provides an input device, which comprises a reading module, an identification module and a transmitting module, wherein the reading module is used for reading at least one convex and / or concave structure to acquire at least one piece of input information; the identification module is connected with the reading module and is used for identifying the at least one piece of input information as at least one input value; and the transmitting module is connected with the identification module and is used for transmitting the at least one input value to processing equipment. The invention also provides an input method, which comprises: a reading step of reading the at least one convex and / or concave structure to acquire the at least one piece of input information; an identification step of identifying the at least one piece of input information as the at least one input value; and a transmitting step of transmitting the at least one input value to the processing equipment. Through the technical scheme of the invention, convenience to user operations is improved and hardware cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computers, and more particularly relates to an input device and an input method. Background technique [0002] For small portable devices, keyboard input has always been a key issue. Since it is generally impossible for a small portable device to have a larger space to design a standard keyboard, it will affect the user's input speed and convenience. [0003] It is neither convenient nor practical to carry around a traditional standard keyboard. [0004] Therefore, there is a need for an input device that can improve the convenience of user input. Contents of the invention [0005] In view of the above problems, one object of the present invention is to provide an input device to improve user convenience. [0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, an input device is provided, comprising: a reading module, configured to read at least one raised and / or depressed structure, to obtain at le...
