Embodiment Construction

[0044] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is an appearance diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0045] The keyboard provided in this embodiment includes a planar keyboard surface and a processing unit.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1 , the keyboard surface is a plane, and no keys are arranged on the surface. Electrical components are distributed on the keyboard surface, which can be used to sense information such as whether the keyboard surface is pressed and the pressed position, and output the above sensing information. The figure shows that ten fingers of the operator press the keyboard surface simultaneously.

[0047] The processing unit (not shown in the figure) can be integrated with the keyboard surface, for example, located on one side or in the plane of the keyboard surface, or can be separated from the keyboard surface and only connected by a cable. The processing unit receives the sensing information of the keyboard surface, and determines and outpu...

Abstract

This invention discloses a keypad, which includes the flat keypad side and processing unit. The talked keypad can feel the pressure and the location of the pressure, and it can output the sensing information. The processing unit can accept the information comes from the sensing keypad, and it can confirm the value of button according to the location of the pressure. The material of the keypad side is soft and collapsible. This invention explains a keypad input method, it includes: 191) accepting the pressure information from finger, which contains the location of pressure, 192) according to the location, judging the button and the value of button, 193) outputting the ASCII and other codes of the deterministic button. Before the 191), it includes 201) accepting the pressure information of the ten fingers at the same time, 202) the location of the ten fingers is considered as the original location, and base on this judging the distribution of button on the keypad and the value of button.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an input device of a digital device, in particular to a keyboard. The invention also provides an input method using the keyboard. Background technique [0002] Keyboard is the main input device of digital equipment such as computer at present, and keyboard has various forms at present. [0003] The keyboard of the traditional desktop computer has the advantages of large number of keys, reasonable space distance of keys, convenient and quick input, etc., and has been widely used. However, this keyboard also has the disadvantages of being bulky and inconvenient to carry, and cannot be configured in small digital devices. [0004] In the prior art, various other types of keyboards have also appeared to adapt to the trend of miniaturization and portability of digital devices. For example, the keyboard of a notebook computer adopts the method of key multiplexing, which reduces the number of keys compared with that of a desktop com...
