[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] A keyboard with a rest reminder function, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a first keyboard 1 and a second keyboard 2 connected by a first folding connection structure, the first folding connection structure includes a first connecting rod 6 and a second connecting rod 8 hinged with a connecting portion 7, mounting seats 3 respectively fixed on both sides of the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2, a first bolt 4 and a second bolt 5 threadedly connected to the mounting seat 3, and a first waist hole 9 opened on the first connecting rod 6 and slidingly matched with the first bolt 4, and a second waist hole 10 opened on the second connecting rod 8 and slidingly matched with the second bolt 5.

[0037] When the keyboard needs to be folded and stored, the first bolt 4 and the second bolt 5 are loosened, and the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are pulled outward along the first waist hole 9 and the second waist hole 10 respectively, so that the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are separated, and then the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 can be folded by using the connecting part 7. Figure 2 The second keyboard 2 can be flipped clockwise to the bottom of the first keyboard 1 for easy carrying and use.

[0038] In the technical solution of the present application, the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are connected and communicated via a USB data cable. Since the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 can be folded, an integral control circuit board cannot be set inside the keyboard, and effective communication can be achieved through the USB data cable.

[0039] The first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are provided with inclination adjustment structures connected by a second folding connection structure for synchronous inclination adjustment.

[0040] The tilt adjustment structure includes a threaded rod 11 rotatably connected to the inside of the first keyboard 1, a first guide rod 12 fixed to the inside of the first keyboard 1, a first slider 13 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 11 and slidably connected to the first guide rod 12, a second guide rod 15 fixed to the inside of the second keyboard 2, a second slider 16 slidably connected to the second guide rod 15, a first support block 14 and a second support block 17 respectively fixed on the first slider 13 and the second slider 16, and a second folding connection structure is connected between the first slider 13 and the second slider 16.

[0041] The bottoms of the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are both provided with through holes for slidingly cooperating with the first supporting block 14 and the second supporting block 17 .

[0042] The second folding connection structure includes a first connecting plate 18 and a second connecting plate 19 respectively fixed to the first sliding block 13 and the second sliding block 16, and an adjusting plate 20 rotatably connected to the first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19. A connecting column 21 is relatively fixed on the adjusting plate 20, and a sliding groove 22 slidably matched with the connecting column 21 is formed on the first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19, and a stopper 23 is fixed on the connecting column 21.

[0043] The side walls and bottoms of the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are both provided with openings that are rotatably matched with the adjustment plate 20 .

[0044] In the process of pulling the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 outward along the first waist hole 9 and the second waist hole 10, the first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19 can move outward synchronously with the cooperation of the connecting column 21 and the slide groove 22, and since the connecting column 21 can rotate inside the slide groove 22, the first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19 can be folded synchronously with the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2.

[0045] When the first keyboard 1 and the second keyboard 2 are fully unfolded and in use, and the inclination angle needs to be adjusted, the threaded rod 11 can be rotated to make the first slider 13 move up and down along the first guide rod 12. With the help of the transmission of the first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19, the second slider 16 can move synchronously with the first slider 13, and the inclination angle can be adjusted by using the first supporting block 14 and the second supporting block 17 extending out of the bottom through hole.

[0046] A main control chip is provided inside the first keyboard 1, and the main control chip is connected to a voice collection module for collecting user voice information. The main control chip is connected to a voice key provided on the first keyboard 1 for controlling the voice collection module. A communication module for communicating with a computer client is connected to the main control chip. The main control chip is connected to a setting button, a display screen, a prompt module, and an indicator light module provided on the first keyboard 1.

[0047] The voice collection module is composed of a microphone or a plurality of microphone arrays, the prompt module includes a vibrator and a speaker, and the indicator light module includes a power module power indicator light, a voice collection module status indicator light, a communication module status indicator light, and a rest reminder indicator light.

[0048] The communication module includes a wired communication unit and / or a wireless communication unit, the wired communication unit includes a USB data line, and the wireless communication unit communicates with the computer client via 2.4GHz pairing and / or Bluetooth. In the technical solution of the present application, the communication module is integrated on the main control chip, and TLSR8258F512ET48 or TLSR8251F512ET48 can be used.

[0049] When the voice button is pressed, the voice collection module starts working. The voice collection module is used to collect user voice information, which is generally the content or instructions to be input by the user. Specifically, the voice collection module consists of one microphone or multiple microphone arrays. In actual application, after the voice collection module collects the voice information, it sends it to the computer client through the communication module. If the voice collection module uses multiple microphone arrays to collect, it can effectively improve the sound pickup quality, thereby improving the accuracy of voice recognition.

[0050] Voice recognition is completed in the computer client. The computer client has a built-in voice recognition data package and has the function of offline voice recognition. It can perform voice recognition on the voice information from the keyboard without an Internet connection and send text commands to the keyboard's main control chip for execution.

[0051] A working method of a keyboard with a rest reminder function, such as Figure 6 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0052] S1. The user sets a rest reminder by setting a button, voice command, or computer client, and sets a timing mode or a button count mode;

[0053] S2, when the user sets the timing mode, the main control chip uses the internal timer to count, and when the timing time reaches the set time, it enters S4;

[0054] S3, when the user sets the key press mode, the main control chip counts the number of clicks on all keys. When the count reaches the set number of times, it enters S4;

[0055] S4. The main control chip provides rest reminders through the prompt module, indicator light module, display screen and computer client.

[0056] Users can set a rest reminder by setting a button, voice command, or in a computer client. The rest reminder mode includes at least two modes: timing and key press count. The timing mode means that after the user sets a specific duration, the main control chip uses its internal timer to count (depending on the hardware design of different products, it can also be counted by a separate RTC clock chip). When the timing time reaches the user-set duration, the rest reminder is triggered; the key press count mode means that after the user sets a specific number of button clicks, the main control chip counts all button clicks. When the count result reaches the number set by the user, the rest reminder is triggered.

[0057] The method for the main control chip to count the clicks of all keys is as follows: all keys are connected to the IO port of the main control chip through a matrix (N rows and M columns) arrangement. When a key is pressed, the level of the IO port will jump from a high level to a low level, and trigger an external interrupt signal to wake up the main control chip and put it into a working state. The main control chip determines and records the pressed key through a scanning program; when the same key pops up, the level of the IO port will jump from a low level to a high level, and will also trigger an external interrupt signal to wake up the main control chip and put it into a working state. The main control chip also determines and records the popped-up key through a scanning program; when the same key is pressed and popped up, the main control chip completes a count of the clicks of this key.

[0058] When setting by setting buttons, press SET to enter the setting, and you can view the setting content on the display screen. Use the up / down adjustment keys to select the rest reminder mode, and press SET to confirm the selection. If you select the timing mode, use the up / down adjustment keys to set the duration, and press SET to confirm; if you select the button count mode, use the up / down adjustment keys to set the specific button click times, and press SET to confirm.

[0059] When the keyboard is connected to the computer client, a break reminder can be set through voice commands. The user only needs to long press the voice button and say the voice command, such as "break reminder after 60 minutes", "Click the button 1000 times to break reminder", etc.

[0060] When setting up through the computer client, open the settings page of the computer client, select the rest reminder mode and set the corresponding value.

[0061] The methods of rest reminder include at least sound, vibration, indicator light, display screen and pop-up window on the computer client.

[0062] In this technical solution, a rest reminder function is added to the keyboard with voice input function to remind users to take appropriate rest during work, thereby reducing the risk of various health problems caused by long-term work. Users can set rest reminders by setting buttons, voice commands, or a method in the computer client. The rest reminder mode includes two modes: timing and number of key presses, which provides users with more operation mode options in different usage scenarios. The rest reminder methods include sound, vibration, indicator light, display screen, and pop-up window of the computer client, so that users can choose appropriate and effective methods to obtain rest reminder information, thereby improving the user experience.

[0063] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. Such modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
