Method for enabling spacebar to have mouse key function

A space bar and mouse technology, applied in the fields of keyboards and mice, can solve the problems of increasing the cost of the keyboard surface mold, hindering the hitting of the space bar, and having a much poorer tapping feel, so as to achieve comfortable tapping, neat edges, and simple mechanical structure.

Problems solved by technology

Another design is SONY's VAIO P small computer. The left and right buttons of the mouse are designed to be recessed, which is the same height as the plane where the keyboard is located. This design still has many situations that hinder the tapping of the space bar and is recessed. The size of the knock is designed, and the touch feel is much worse, and the cost of the keyboard surface mold is increased

Embodiment Construction

[0047] image 3 with Figure 4 It is the design method of the left mouse button and the right mouse button of the current touch point (Trackpoint). The left mouse button and the right mouse button are set under the keyboard, usually under the space bar. But this prevents the user from hitting the spacebar. image 3 It is indicated that the left mouse button and the right mouse button are recessed, and the design method is the same as the plane height where the keyboard is located. SONY's VAIO P small computer is an example of this design. Figure 4 As indicated, reduce the height of the upper part of the left mouse button and the upper half of the mouse button, such as Figure 4 The height of the white part above the left and right buttons of the mouse is reduced, and the gray part below the left and right buttons of the mouse has a certain height to facilitate tapping. An example of this design is found on IBM's ThinkPad laptops. image 3 with Figure 4 The common disadv...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for enabling a spacebar to have a mouse key function. When the fact that any key except the spacebar in a keyboard is pressed down is detected, the spacebar is knocked to play the spacebar function; when the fact that the mouse pointer moves is detected, the left half part of the spacebar is pressed down to play the function of the mouse left key, and the right half part of the spacebar is pressed down to play the function of the mouse right key; and when the fact that the mouse pointer never moves to exceed some preset time value is detected, the spacebar is knocked to play the spacebar function.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of keyboard and mouse. Background technique: [0002] The keyboard and the mouse are the two most common input devices for electronic devices today, and usually the two are separate. On IBM's ThinkPad laptops, IBM places the mouse's pointing device, the Trackpoint, inside the keyboard, but the left and right mouse buttons are still placed as separate buttons below the keyboard. With the trend of electronic devices getting smaller and smaller, the separated design of the keyboard and the mouse is becoming more and more difficult to accommodate. There are currently three major types of mouse, one is an external mouse, the other is a touchpad (Touchpad), and the other is a touch point (Trackpoint). Wherein the external mouse does not affect the internal design of the electronic device. The touchpad (Touchpad) is designed to be very small on small electronic devices, no matter where it is touched, or the lef...
