Input equipment and computer comprising same

Abstract

The invention provides input equipment and a computer comprising the same. The input equipment comprises a touch pad, a first sensing unit, a second sensing unit and a processing unit, wherein the touch pad is operated by an operation body; the first sensing unit is used for acquiring touch position information of the operation body on the surface of the touch pad and outputting coordinate information corresponding to the touch position information, wherein the coordinate information is used for determining the position of a cursor of electronic equipment corresponding to the input device; the second sensing unit is used for acquiring a pressure value of the operation body on the surface of the touch pad and outputting the pressure value; and the processing unit is used for triggering the function of a right key or a space key at the position of the cursor corresponding to the coordinate information when the pressure value is more than a preset pressure threshold. The input equipment can complete various functions which are completed by the conventional touch pad and a mechanical key in a matching way without being matched with the mechanical key, so that the occupying area of the input device on intelligent equipment is reduced relatively and convenience is brought to a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input device, in particular to an input device related to a touch panel and a computer including the input device. Background technique [0002] Currently, most laptops use a touch pad (Touch Pad) as an input device, such as figure 1 As shown, the touch input devices of most notebook computers at present include: a touchpad 10 and two mechanical keys 11 positioned next to the touchpad 10, and the touchpad 10, in cooperation with the two mechanical keys 11, completes the mouse of the computer. Various functions completed, such as "cursor movement", "left click", "left double click", "left drag", "right click", "right drag" and so on. [0003] For a long time, the touchpad has become the standard configuration of most notebook computers due to its advantages such as stable performance and convenient operation. In cooperation, usually, the two mechanical keys 11 are located longitudinally below the plane where the touchpad 10...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. Increase the vertical size of the notebook computer and leave enough space for the touchpad, which will increase the overall size of the notebook computer, increase the material cost and weight, and do not use to improve the portability of the notebook computer

[0006] 2. If figure 2 As shown, two mechanical keys 11 are respectively distributed on the left side and the right side of the touch panel 10, and its original space is given to the touch panel. In this way, since the horizontal size of the touch panel is generally large, the user can operate the touch panel. At the same time, it is necessary to press the mechanical button, which is very inconvenient, resulting in tiring operation and reduced efficiency

[0007] 3. If image 3 and Figure 4 Shown, respectively are two use states of the touchpad of the Ipod player, in this device, mechanical switches 78A and 78D are installed below the touchpad 72, in addition, the label 80 is a rigid platform, and the label 78 is a moving indicator, 92 is a moving space, this device allows the user to press the mechanical switch while touching, so as to realize some combined operation functions, which saves the area occupied by the touchpad to a certain extent, but the key switch of this touchpad usually only has one type The trigger force, and the pressure to trigger the button switch is related to the different parts of the button pressed by the finger. When pressing the button directly above the button switch, the pressure required is the smallest, and when pressing other parts of the button switch, the pressure required becomes larger, which limits the User freedom and comfort

[0009] The touchpad in the prior art must cooperate with the mechanical keys to complete various functions of the input device. The touchpad and the mechanical keys occupy a large area of ​​the keyboard surface as a whole, which is inconvenient for users to operate.
