Keyboard of terminal equipment and signal receiving method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to terminal equipment, and discloses a keyboard of the terminal equipment and a signal receiving method thereof. The keyboard of the terminal equipment has the characteristics of fashionable and beautiful appearance, good handfeel and power consumption saving. In the invention, the surface of the keyboard is implemented based on an EPD screen, and when a mechanical button module inducts the pressing operation, the surface of the keyboard notifies a control module to acquire induction signals received by the surface of the keyboard. Moreover, the surface of the keyboard consists of an upper touch-screen film and a lower EPD screen, or consists of an upper EPD screen and a lower touch sensitive plate. At least two types of interfaces are predefined in the terminal equipment, and the surface of the keyboard is controlled to display corresponding interfaces according to the requirements of users.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to terminal equipment, in particular to the keyboard technology of the terminal equipment. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of multimedia technology and wireless networks, the functions of terminal equipment (such as mobile phones, handheld game consoles, etc.) are becoming more and more perfect, and their applications are becoming more and more extensive. terminal equipment. [0003] The interactive operation between the user and the terminal device needs to be realized through a key input device capable of generating signals. In the traditional solution, the key input is realized by a mechanical independent switch key or reed, and a single signal is generated for each press of the button. The terminal device recognizes the operation that the user wants to perform according to the single signal generated by pressing. This method of key input has a good hand feel and low power consumption, w...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the inventors of the present invention have found that for terminal devices using a touch keyboard, since the touch keyboard of the terminal device has to constantly scan whether the keys are active, the circuit will always be in the working state, and the power consumption will be large.

Moreover, some terminal devices use a touch screen as a virtual keyboard. Although the flexibility is high, it also has the problem of high power consumption and will occupy the normal screen display area.

In addition, whether it is a traditional mechanical key keyboard or a touch keyboard, the keyboard interface cannot be changed. Once the function of a certain area is specified, the function of the area cannot be adjusted.
