[0017] The specific embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Embodiment 1: A function configuration device for an ultrasonic system, referring to Figure 1 and 2 , includes a key, a label reading device, a second conductive device, and a power supply.

[0019] The key is installed on a control panel. In this embodiment, the key is installed on the control panel of the ultrasonic system. The key is provided with a function label inside, and a first conductive device is provided below the key. Specifically, the key includes a keycap, and a central column is provided below the keycap. The first conductive device is arranged at the end of the central column. There is a slot on the control panel, and the keycap is detachably installed in the slot on the control panel through the central column. A spring is provided below the keycap to restore the keycap to its initial position after the key is pressed. A function name silk screen is printed on the keycap to indicate the function information contained in the function label.

[0020] The label reading device is arranged below the key for reading the information in the function label, and the label reading device is communicatively connected to the ultrasonic system.

[0021] The second conductive device is installed inside the control panel, and when the key is pressed, the first conductive device contacts the second conductive device. The function label contains corresponding function code information. The function label is a passive label without a power supply, which collects energy from the radio wave of the reader through electromagnetic induction, then activates the chip and sends information. The function label is an RFID label or an NFC label, and the label reading device is a card reader adapted to the function label.

[0022] By configuring multiple keys with functions, different function configurations of the ultrasonic system can be achieved.

[0023] The power supply is used to supply power to the tag reading device. The first conductive device and the second conductive device are connected to the power supply circuit of the tag reading device to control the power supply of the tag reading device. Refer to Figure 1 and 3 , the power supply is a 5V power supply. Taking an RFID tag and an RFID reader as an example, when the user presses the corresponding keycap, the keycap presses down so that the contact points of the RFID reader are energized and supply 5V power to the RFID reader, thereby activating the RFID reader. The RFID reader emits electromagnetic waves, and the RFID tag is activated by the electromagnetic induction current. The RFID tag sends its identification code and user data, which are received by the RFID reader and the RFID information is transmitted to the ultrasonic system software. The ultrasonic system software performs relationship mapping based on the obtained RFID information, identifies the corresponding ultrasonic function, and then starts the function.

[0024] Embodiment 2, refer to Figure 2 and 3 , on the basis of Embodiment 1, taking an NFC tag and an NFC reader as an example, when using the ultrasonic system, when the user presses the corresponding keycap, the keycap presses down so that the contact points of the NFC reader are energized and supply 5V power to the NFC reader, thereby activating the NFC reader. The NFC reader emits electromagnetic waves, and the NFC tag is activated by the electromagnetic induction current. The NFC tag sends its identification code and user data, which are received by the NFC reader and the NFC information is transmitted to the ultrasonic system software. The ultrasonic system software performs relationship mapping based on the obtained NFC information, identifies the corresponding ultrasonic function, and then starts the function.

[0025] In summary, by setting RFID and NFC tags in the ultrasonic system in this application, the range of user-defined key functions is extended from the specified user-defined key area to the entire ultrasonic system keyboard without modifying the system software. This greatly improves the range and flexibility of user configuration, and at the same time reduces the software development workload and complexity.

[0026] Embodiment 3: As Figures 4 - 6 shown, there are multiple keys on the control panel. The number of keys is 9, and a set of coil devices is provided under each key. When the key is pressed, the coil in the coil device is connected to the tag reading device.

[0027] The label reading device includes an RFID reader and an NFC reader. The coil device includes a first coil, a second coil, and a coil switch board. Four contacts are provided on the coil switch board. The first coil and the second coil are respectively connected to two contacts and used as the switch contacts of the coils. A first flat plate is provided at the bottom of the button. Two contact pieces are provided at the bottom of the first flat plate. The two contact pieces are respectively used to connect two contacts in the first coil and the second coil. When the button is pressed, the contact pieces contact the contacts, so that the first coil and the second coil are respectively connected to the RFID reader and the NFC reader. The function label is an RFID label or an NFC label.

[0028] Based on the above features, the first coil in the 9 groups of coil devices is used to connect to the RFID reader, and the second coil in the 9 groups of coil devices is used to connect to the NFC reader. The function of sharing a group of readers by multiple coils is realized, so that there is no need to set a reader with a coil under each button.

[0029] When a certain button is pressed, the first flat plate at the bottom of the button moves downward, so that the two contact pieces at the bottom of the first flat plate are respectively connected to the two contacts. The first coil and the second coil under the button are respectively connected to the RFID reader and the NFC reader. Therefore, whether the function label in the button is an RFID label or an NFC label, it can be read.

[0030] To prevent the coil from reading the labels in adjacent buttons, a metal isolation grid is provided between multiple buttons to block the electromagnetic signal.

[0031] This embodiment provides 9 buttons for the user to configure custom functions, with better applicability. When the number of custom functions does not exceed 9, there is no need to replace the buttons.

[0032] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
