Problems solved by technology

[0003] Various input devices have their own advantages and disadvantages for the various control operations of the computer. As a necessary input device for intelligent terminals, the keyboard has a large number of switch buttons. Shoals applied for a patent in 1868, and in 1873 he used the first QWERTY layout. A commercial typewriter was successfully put on the market. The switch layout of the keyboard has lasted for three hundred years since the birth of the typewriter. Later, the layout of the typewriter keyboard continued to be used in smart terminals. Until now, the layout changes of the keyboard switch keys are based on the typewriter. The button layout is adjusted, and the changes are small. Because the manufacturers are afraid of changing the user's operating habits and increasing the user's learning and use costs, most of them update and upgrade the appearance of color matching, keycaps, shafts, manufacturing processes, and hardware processing cores. For keyboards with large changes in layout, such as the malt ergonomic keyboard with a symmetrical layout, the high price due to user input habits and high production costs makes it difficult to expand the sales market and stay in a niche market
[0004] The key layout of the virtual device is also affected by the traditional layout, and it is largely adopted on devices such as mobile phones and tablets. For example, the 26-key layout of the Sogou input method is staggered. This kind of similar layout needs, but most of the time it is not optimal to use traditional layout or approximate layout. For different groups of people, the needs exist objectively. Therefore, variable layouts can be used to meet different needs. The layout scheme needs Comprehensively balance ergonomics and related visual recognition and human brain memory to reduce certain production costs and improve the efficiency of user input data

Abstract

The invention discloses a switch key layout method of input equipment, applied to intelligent terminal input equipment. Switch keys of the intelligent terminal input equipment are arranged by using the way that horizontal and perpendicular rows and columns are aligned in a matrix without mismatching, switches can be installed at arranged positions, and the switch control types, arrangement positions and switch quantity can be increased or decreased according to needs. According to the method provided by the invention, spaces between rows and columns are adjusted according to the user needs, the user is convenient to input information, discordance of fingers, wrists and limbs is reduced when the different users input, the visual sensory load and the brain processing load are reduced, recognition and memory of key positions are facilitated, the usage and learning costs of the equipment are reduced, the input efficiency of the user is improved, the production cost is reduced, and thus design, production, usage, replacement and cleaning of the physical input equipment to which the layout scheme is applied become efficient, and the efficient input quality and the effective experience scheme are provided for large numbers of people inputting data information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of external equipment of an intelligent terminal, and in particular relates to a method for layout of switch keys of an input device. Background technique [0002] With the increasing use of smart terminal technology, due to the high efficiency of information data processing of smart terminals, the frequency of use of smart terminals has been continuously increased. Users interact with a large number of external devices of smart terminals. The frequency of use is greatly increased. Input devices such as keyboards, mice, and handles are widely used in office, gaming, design and other fields. A large number of operations must be completed through input devices. Research on input devices can improve the efficiency and efficiency of human-computer interaction. To improve the user's human-computer interaction experience, there is a certain trend in researching, transforming or updating input devices, such as Micr...
