Embodiment Construction

[0030] As mentioned in the background section, the use of the new keyboards in the prior art slows down the speed at which the user can enter correct data.

[0031] The inventor found that the reason is that the keyboard is made of rigid material, and it is a whole piece of tempered substrate with a smooth and flat surface, so that the user will not feel the difference when typing the effective key area and the invalid area. As a result, the user needs to check the display of the electronic device from time to time in the process of using the new keyboard, otherwise, it is impossible to confirm whether an effective key position has been struck, which is prone to misoperation, and then reduces the speed of the user to input correct data.

[0032] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a keyboard, including:

[0033] A first glass substrate and a second glass substrate arranged oppositely, the first glass substrate includes an effective keying area and ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a keyboard and a driving method thereof, and electronic equipment having same; the keyboard comprises the following elements: a first glass substrate and a second glass substrate arranged in opposite, wherein the first glass substrate comprises a valid key mapping zone and an invalid key mapping zone; a conductive film arranged between the first and second glass substrates, the conductive film comprises a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone is arranged right blow the valid key mapping zone, the second zone is arranged right below the invalid key mapping zone, and the first and second zones are different in current intensity; a driving circuit electrically connected with the conductive film so as to provide current signals for the conductive film. When the keyboard is applied to the electronic equipment, a user can determine a knocking position is in the valid key mapping zone or the invalid key mapping zone without checking electronic equipment display from time to time, thus improving user speed of inputting right data.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of data input devices, and in particular relates to a keyboard, a driving method thereof, and an electronic device including the keyboard. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of interactive technology, new types of keyboards have appeared at present. The new keyboard includes a keyboard body and an image acquisition device. The keyboard body is usually made of rigid materials such as glass, and keys are printed or etched on the keyboard body. The image information of the upper movement is transmitted to the associated electronic device to realize data input. [0003] However, using this new keyboard slows down the speed at which users can enter correct data. Contents of the invention [0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard and its driving method, as well as an electronic device including the keyboard, so as to increase the speed for...
