Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention provides a keyboard device. The keyboard device includes conductive sliding mechanisms. The keyboard device is installed on a computing device and movable relative to the computing device. Moreover, the keyboard device is equipped with the power supply unit. When the keyboard device is installed on the computing device, the keyboard device is electrically connected with the computing device through the conductive sliding mechanisms. Consequently, the power supply unit of the keyboard device is charged by the computing device. When the keyboard device is detached from the computing device, the keyboard device is powered by the power supply unit and thus the keyboard device can be normally operated.

Problems solved by technology

Consequently, the position of the keyboard module cannot be adjusted according to the usual practice of the user.
However, the touch virtual keyboard does not meet the usual practice of most users of the notebook computer.
Especially when a great number of characters are inputted, the touch virtual keyboard is not user-friendly.

Abstract

A keyboard device for a computing device is provided. The computing device includes a first system module and a second system module. The keyboard device includes a keyboard module and at least two conductive sliding mechanisms. The keyboard module is installed on the first system module. The keyboard module includes a power supply unit. The power supply unit provides electric power for powering the keyboard module. The keyboard module is movable relative to the first system module through the conductive sliding mechanisms. Each conductive sliding mechanism includes a sliding base and a conductive member. The sliding base is installed on the keyboard module. The conductive member is electrically connected with the first system module and the keyboard module. When the sliding base is moved relative to the conductive member, the keyboard module is moved relative to the first system module.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 773,545 filed Nov. 30, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a keyboard device, and more particularly to a keyboard device with a sliding member, which is installed on a computing device and movable relative to the computing device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Generally, a notebook computer is equipped with a keyboard module. The keyboard module is electrically connected with the internal circuit of the notebook computer through a cable. In accordance with this installing method, the installation position of the keyboard module in the notebook computer is fixed. That is, the keyboard module cannot be moved. Consequently, the position of the keyboard module cannot be adjusted according to the usual practice of the user.[0004]Basically, the conventional notebook computer co...
