A key assembly and an intelligent terminal having the key assembly

Abstract

The present invention provides a button assembly and an intelligent terminal having the button assembly. The button assembly is arranged on the side of the intelligent terminal and includes a button body, a metal shrapnel and a flexible circuit board. The button body includes a pressing part and a connecting part; The part is set facing the outside of the side of the smart terminal, and receives external pressing operations, external point-touch operations and / or external sliding operations; one end of the connecting part is connected to the pressing part, and the other end is in contact with the metal shrapnel; the button assembly also includes: touch sensor The part is interposed between the pressing part and the connecting part, and is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board. The touch sensing part receives an external touch operation and / or an external sliding operation, and forms an operation command and sends it to the flexible circuit board. After adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the operation of one button can realize issuing of multiple instructions, saving the requirement of the mechanical structure of the buttons of the smart device and the space requirement of the screen display.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of smart devices, in particular to a key assembly and an intelligent terminal with the key assembly. Background technique [0002] Existing smart devices are provided with physical buttons and virtual buttons for user operation and issuing instructions, and the physical buttons and virtual buttons are arranged at a certain fixed position of the electronic device or on a touch screen. For example, most existing smart devices have three types of physical buttons and virtual buttons, one is a physical volume button, a power button, and a Home button, and the other is a physical volume button and a power button plus a button corresponding to the menu, return and For the home function, there are three virtual buttons displayed on the non-display area of ​​the smart device. There is also a physical volume button and power button plus three buttons corresponding to the menu, return and home functions, which are displayed on ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Regardless of the above-mentioned setting methods, there are always 6 buttons that need to be operated. For users, in the process of using smart devices, they often inadvertently change the way of holding smart devices, resulting in the buttons of smart devices relative to The user's location has changed

In this way, in some handheld large-screen touch devices, it is difficult to achieve one-handed operation, or because the fingers need to switch positions frequently between the virtual keys, physical keys and the touch screen area, which affects the operating efficiency during the operation.

Or for older users, the function corresponding to each button needs to be fully memorized before they can use the smart device, and the cycle of getting started becomes longer.
