Embodiment Construction

[0059] Please refer to figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of a keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. The keyboard 10 includes a plurality of keys 100 and a keyboard controller ( figure 1 not shown in, for example Figure 5A Microprocessor 44 shown). When the key 100 is pressed with a pressing force, the keyboard controller: (1) generates a sensing value corresponding to the key 100 , and the sensing value is related to the magnitude of the pressing force. (2) The keyboard controller is used for compensating the sensing value with the compensation value corresponding to the key 100 to generate an adjusted sensing value. (3) If the adjusted sensing value is greater than or equal to the current threshold value, the keyboard controller determines that the key 100 is pressed, and outputs a key code (Key Code) corresponding to the key 100 .

[0060] In this embodiment, by adjusting the current threshold value, the keyboard 10 can adjust the pressu...

Abstract

The invention relates to a keyboard with the key conduction force adjusted according to the requirements of a user and an adjusting method thereof. The keyboard comprises a plurality of keys. Each key is provided with a first key body and a keyboard controller. The keyboard controllers are used for generating first sensing values corresponding to the first key bodies after the first key bodies are pressed at first pressing forces, and the first sensing values are relevant to the first pressing forces in magnitude. The keyboard controllers are used for compensating the first sensing values by using first compensating values corresponding to the first key bodies so as to generate first adjusted sensing values. If the first adjusted sensing values are larger than a current threshold, the keyboard controllers confirm that the first key bodies are pressed and output first key codes corresponding to the first key bodies. By means of the keyboard and the adjusting method, the user can more flexibly grouping keyboard according to the requirements of the user and adjust actuation thresholds so as to set the key conduction force, and therefore the user can have better user experience when typing words or executing other application programs (such as computer games and the like).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a keyboard and its control method, and in particular to a keyboard with adjustable key conduction force and its control method. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, the keyboard has been widely used and has become the most commonly used input device in the peripheral equipment of the computer. However, the quality of the keyboards produced by the factory is often inconsistent, so that the pressing pressure of the conductive keys of each keyboard is different. Therefore, how to make the multiple keyboards produced have a higher degree of uniformity in terms of the pressure path for conducting the keys, and how to make the keyboards adaptively adjusted according to the needs of users, is the current industry's efforts. one of the directions. Contents of the invention [0003] One of the objectives of the present invention is to enable the keyboard to adjust the conduction force of the keys adaptively according to t...
