Non-blocking touch type handheld electronic device and touch outer cover thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a non-blocking touch type handheld electronic device and a touch outer cover thereof. The non-blocking touch type handheld electronic device comprises a panel and a control unit. The touch outer cover comprises an outer cover, a touch sensing structure and a function component, wherein the outer cover comprises a first part and a second part; the touch sensing structure is partially or completely arranged on the first part; the function component is arranged on the second part; the outer cover is arranged on the other side, opposite to the panel, of the non-blocking touch type handheld electronic device; and the touch sensing structure and the function component are electrically connected with the control unit so that the users can operate the non-blocking touch type handheld electronic device through the touch outer cover.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hand-held electronic device and its touch outer cover, in particular to a hand-held electronic device with unstoppable touch and its touch outer cover. Background technique [0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, various information devices are continuously introduced, such as mobile phones, tablet computers, ultra-thin notebook computers and satellite navigation. In addition to generally using a keyboard or mouse to input or control, using touch technology to control information equipment is a very intuitive and popular control method; wherein, the touch display device has a humanized and intuitive input operation interface, Users of any age group can directly select or manipulate information equipment with their fingers. [0003] In the known handheld electronic devices with touch function, touch operations are performed directly on the panel. However, when operating on the panel, finger...

[0004] However, this method will increase the size of the electronic device, which goes against the development trend of light, thin, short, and small handheld electronic devices, making it difficult to implement in smaller tablet computers, mobile phones and other products.

In addition, the method of Logitech US Patent No. 5825352 cannot solve the problem of shadowing easily caused by fingers in handheld electronic devices

[0005] In addition, due to the need to touch and operate electronic devices on the panel, the panel is often scratched

In addition, it is known that most of the handheld electronic devices with touch function need to hold the electronic device with one hand and operate on the panel with the other hand. It can only be controlled by the thumb, which is really inconvenient

[0006] Furthermore, when a user uses a handheld electronic device under the bright sun, the sunlight readability of the display panel has always been an issue that cannot be effectively solved, because the user cannot operate the display panel with both hands because the user cannot see the information on the display panel.

[0007] In addition, the touch panel also needs to introduce a rare-earth transparent touch-sensing layer such as ITO to maintain the transparent display performance of the panel. However, due to the increasing depletion of rare-earth metal indium ore, the cost is high; The conductivity is also worse than that of metal, which limits the sensitivity of touch detection, and using a rare earth transparent touch sensing layer as a touch panel is not a good strategy for the sustainable development of the earth's resource ecology and energy conservation; As the sliding distance increases with the size of the panel, the area and cost of the touch sensing layer will increase, and the efficiency and convenience of manual operation will also decrease.
