[0030] The electronic device 200 of this application includes an electronic body and an input device 100. The electronic body may be, for example, a laptop computer, keyboard, presentation pen, mobile phone, tablet computer, joystick, or mouse. In one embodiment of this application, the input device 100 may serve as a controller for the mouse cursor, and the user may control the mouse cursor by operating the input device 100; that is, the user can replace a traditional mouse by operating the input device 100. In different embodiments, the electronic device 200 may not include a display 202, and the electronic device 200 may simply function as a wireless or wired keyboard. It should be noted that the input device 100 of this application may be installed on various electronic devices as needed, and is not limited to the above. For example, the input device 100 may also be installed on electronic devices requiring directional or cursor control, such as a mouse, presentation pen, tablet computer, or joystick.

[0031] The input device 100 of this application includes a substrate 1, a support structure 2, four magnetic sensors 3, a processor 4, an elastic reset structure 5, a cover 6, and a magnetic component 7. The number of magnetic sensors 3 and magnetic component 7 included in the input device 100 can be varied according to actual needs and is not limited to what is shown in the figure.

[0032] Substrate 1 serves as a fixed base plate. One end of the support structure 2 is fixed to the fixed base plate. In this embodiment, the support structure 2 is exemplified by a cylindrical structure, but its shape is not limited to this. Substrate 1 is, for example, an insulating plate. Substrate 1 includes, for example, a fixed base plate 10 and a flexible circuit board 11. The fixed base plate 10 is, for example, an insulating plate. The flexible circuit board 11 is fixedly disposed on the fixed base plate 10. Four magnetic sensors 3 and a processor 4 are fixedly disposed on the flexible circuit board 11. In different embodiments, substrate 1 can also be a rigid printed circuit board, a metal plate, or a plastic plate. The processor 4 is electrically connected to the four magnetic sensors 3. Each magnetic sensor 3 is used to sense changes in magnetic force and generate a sensing signal accordingly. The processor 4 can receive the sensing signals transmitted by each magnetic sensor 3. In practical applications, two of the magnetic sensors 3 are, for example, located on a first axis L1, and the other two magnetic sensors 3 can be located on a second axis L2. The first axis L1 is not parallel to the second axis L2; ​​the first axis L1 can be perpendicular to the second axis L2.

[0033] In an embodiment where the input device 100 includes only two magnetic sensors 3, one magnetic sensor 3 may be located on a first axis L1, while the other magnetic sensor 3 may be located on a second axis L2. In a variation embodiment where the input device 100 includes only two magnetic sensors 3, the two magnetic sensors 3 may also be disposed on the same axis.

[0034] The elastic reset structure 5 is disposed on the substrate 1 and is sleeved on the support structure 2 and fixed to one end of the substrate 1. The elastic reset structure 5 is an elastic structure, and it can elastically deform when compressed. For example, the elastic reset structure 5 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber, silicone, foam, or plastic, but is not limited thereto. In practice, the shape of the elastic reset structure 5 can be, for example, ring-shaped, but is not limited thereto.

[0035] One side of the cover 6 is fixed to the other end of the support structure 2. The bottom surface 61 of the cover 6 facing the substrate 1 abuts against the elastic reset structure 5. When the side of the cover 6 opposite to the substrate 1 is moved towards the substrate 1 by the user, the bottom surface 61 of the cover 6 will exert a force on the elastic reset structure 5, thereby causing the elastic reset structure 5 to generate greater elastic deformation. When the cover 6 is no longer operated by the user, the elastic restoring force generated by the pressure on the elastic reset structure 5 will cause the cover 6 to return to its position before user operation.

[0036] The magnetic element 7 can be, for example, a ring structure. The magnetic element 7 can be embedded in the cover 6, and each magnetic sensor 3 is located in the region of the orthographic projection of the magnetic element 7 onto the substrate 1. That is, at least a portion of the magnetic element 7 is directly above each magnetic sensor 3. The magnetic element 7 and the cover 6 can be manufactured using an insert molding method.

[0037] In different embodiments of this application, the input device 100 may also include four magnetic elements 7, each embedded in the cover 6. It should be noted that the number of magnetic elements 7 can vary as long as a portion of one of the magnetic elements 7 is directly above the four magnetic sensors 3. For example, in another embodiment, the input device 100 may also include two magnetic elements 7, both embedded in the cover 6, with a portion of one of the magnetic elements 7 directly above each magnetic sensor 3.

[0038] In the above description, the magnetic component 7 is embedded in the cover 6 as an example, but the method of fixing the magnetic component 7 to the cover 6 is not limited to this. In different embodiments, the bottom surface 61 of the cover 6 may be concave to form an annular groove, the width of which is, for example, slightly smaller than the width of the magnetic component 7, and the magnetic component 7 is engaged and fixed in the annular groove. In different embodiments, the magnetic component 7 may also be fixed to the cover 6 using adhesive. The shape and size of each magnetic component 7 can be varied according to actual needs. The position of multiple magnetic components 7 on the cover 6 can also be varied according to needs.

[0039] When the cover 6 is not operated by the user, there is a gap G between the magnetic component 7 and each magnetic sensor 3 to allow the cover 6 to move. Specifically, when the cover 6 is fixed to one side of the substrate 1 by the support structure 2, the bottom surface 61 of the cover 6 will abut against the elastic reset structure 5, thereby creating the gap G between the bottom surface 61 of the cover 6 and the magnetic sensor 3.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that, in practical applications, the height of the elastic reset structure 5 when not under pressure is a first height. The bottom surface 61 of the cover 6 is at a second height H relative to the substrate 1. The first height is greater than the second height H, and the elastic reset structure 5 exhibits an elastic deformation state when pressed by the cover 6. More specifically, the support structure 2 may include a head 21 and a neck 22, with the outer diameter 21D of the head 21 being greater than the outer diameter 22D of the neck 22. The cover 6 has a locking groove 63, which includes a first receiving section 631 and a second receiving section 632, with the inner diameter 631D of the first receiving section 631 being greater than the inner diameter 632D of the second receiving section 632. The first accommodating section 631 engages with the head 21, and the second accommodating section 632 engages with the neck 22. Through the design of the first accommodating section 631, the second accommodating section 632, the head 21, and the neck 22, the range of motion of the cover 6 relative to the supporting structure 2 is limited. The side of the cover 6 facing the substrate 1 (i.e., the bottom surface 61) presses against the elastic reset structure 5, causing the elastic reset structure 5 to undergo slight elastic deformation. In short, when the input device 100 is installed and the cover 6 is not operated by the user, the elastic reset structure 5 can be in a slightly elastically deformed state.

[0041] When the cover 6 is operated by the user, the magnetic component 7 will move along with the cover 6, and a portion of the magnetic component 7 will move closer to the adjacent magnetic sensor 3. The magnetic sensor 3 will then sense the change in magnetic force and generate a sensing signal. When the processor 4 receives the sensing signal, it can generate a corresponding mouse control signal and transmit the mouse control signal to a computer, which can then control the cursor based on the mouse control signal. In the example of the input device 100 in this application that does not include the processor 4, each magnetic sensor 3 can directly transmit the sensing signal to the computer, and the application running on the computer can convert the sensing signal into a mouse control signal to move the mouse cursor.

[0042] In this embodiment, the input device 100 includes four magnetic sensors 3, which can be used to sense the movement of the cover 6 in the +X-axis, -X-axis, +Y-axis, and -Y-axis directions, respectively. This allows the input device 100 to control the cursor movement in the corresponding directions; that is, the input device 100 can control the cursor movement in the XY plane. In the example where the input device 100 includes two magnetic sensors 3 disposed on the same axis, the two magnetic sensors 3 can be used to sense changes in the magnetic force of the cover 6 in the +X-axis and -X-axis directions, or they can be used to sense changes in the magnetic force of the cover 6 in the +Y-axis and -Y-axis directions. It is worth noting that since the magnetic sensors 3 are used to sense changes in magnetic force, the magnetic sensors 3 can generate corresponding sensing signals when the magnetic element 7 approaches or moves away from them. The processor 4 or computer can then determine the direction in which the cover 6 is being manipulated based on these sensing signals, thereby controlling the movement direction of the mouse cursor.

[0043] In practical applications, when the processor 4 determines, based on the sensing signal, that the cover 6 has been continuously pressed in the same direction for more than a preset time, or when the processor 4 determines, based on the sensing signal, that the distance the cover has moved exceeds a preset distance, the processor 4 may generate a fast movement control signal accordingly. The computer can then control the cursor to move quickly in one direction based on the fast movement control signal. Here, "fast movement" refers to movement relative to the normal mouse movement speed. For example, if the processor 4 determines, based on the sensing signal, that the cover 6 has been continuously pressed in the same direction for more than 0.5 seconds (the preset time), the processor 4 will generate a fast movement control signal, and the cursor will move quickly. Conversely, if the cover 6 is only operated for 0.1 seconds, the cursor will move relatively slowly.

[0044] For example, if the processor 4 determines, based on the sensing signal, that the cover 6 has moved more than 0.5 cm relative to the magnetic sensor 3, the processor 4 may generate a fast movement control signal, and the cursor will move quickly. Conversely, if the cover 6 has moved less than 0.5 cm relative to the magnetic sensor 3, the cursor will move at a normal speed.

[0045] As described above, the electronic device 200 and input device 100 of this application, through the design of the cover 6, the elastic reset structure 5, the magnetic element 7, and the magnetic sensor 3, allow users to control the mouse cursor by operating the input device 100. This effectively reduces the overall size of the input device 100, allowing it to be installed on various keyboards, especially suitable for laptop keyboards. It should be noted that the above description primarily focuses on the electronic device 200 controlling the mouse cursor based on the control signals transmitted by the input device 100, but this is not a limitation. In different embodiments, the electronic device 200 can also use the control signals to control directional functions in an application. For example, the application could be a game, and the user could control the character in the game to move left, right, or any other direction via an electronic device (such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone) by controlling the input device 100.

[0046] Furthermore, it should be noted that the input device 100 of this application, by designing the magnetic sensor 3 to be located in the region of the orthogonal projection of the magnetic element 7 onto the substrate 1, can effectively improve the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 3 in sensing changes in magnetic force generated by different distances between the magnetic element 7 and the substrate 1. In other words, if the magnetic sensor 3 is not located in the region of the orthogonal projection of the magnetic element 7 onto the substrate 1, the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 3 in sensing changes in magnetic force generated by different distances between the magnetic element 7 and the substrate 1 will decrease.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, since the input device 100 of this application uses the elastic reset structure 5 to restore the cover 6 to an unpressurized state, and the input device 100 of this application does not have any compression spring, the vertical height Z between the top of the cover 6 of the input device 100 and the substrate 1 can be less than 4 cm, while the vertical height Z between the top of the cover 6 of the input device 100 and the substrate 1 can be about 3 cm.

[0048] It should be noted that in practice, processor 4 can generate different control signals based on different sensing signals received, depending on the requirements. The computer, upon receiving these control signals, can then control the cursor, achieving the same effect as a traditional mouse click or double-click. For example, when a user presses the cover 6, and each magnetic sensor 3 detects a change in magnetic force almost simultaneously, and the time it takes for each magnetic sensor 3 to detect this change is less than a preset time, processor 4, upon receiving the sensing signals from the magnetic sensors 3, can determine that the user has briefly pressed the cover 6. In this case, processor 4 can generate a mouse click control signal (e.g., the same control signal generated after a traditional mouse click). Upon receiving this mouse click control signal, the computer can control the mouse cursor to perform a click. Similarly, processor 4 can also generate a mouse double-click control signal based on the sensing signals from the magnetic sensors 3. Upon receiving this mouse double-click control signal, the computer can control the mouse cursor to perform a double-click.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 The diagram shows top views of the third and fourth embodiments of the input device of this application. Figure 6 The embodiment shown differs most significantly from the previous embodiments in that the input device 100 includes three magnetic sensors 3, which are positioned at the three vertices of a virtual triangle T, and each magnetic sensor 3 is located within the orthographic projection range of the magnetic element 7 onto the substrate 1. The processor 4 can receive the sensing signals transmitted by the three magnetic sensors 3 and control the movement of the cursor in the XY plane accordingly. Figure 7 The embodiment shown differs most significantly from the previous embodiment in that the input device 100 includes a plurality of magnetic sensors 3 arranged around the support structure 2.

[0050] Please see Figure 8 The diagram shows a top view of the fifth embodiment of the input device of this application. The biggest difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiments is that the input device 100 includes a single magnetic sensor 3 (located at the top of the figure and shown as a dashed line), and the input device 100 can only sense the movement of the cover 6 along a single axis. In practical applications, the input device 100 of this embodiment can, for example, be installed in a conventional mouse and used to replace the scroll wheel of a conventional mouse; that is, when the user pushes the cover 6 forward, the control signal transmitted by the processor to the computer will be the same as the signal for the scroll wheel of a conventional mouse to scroll forward, and conversely, the control signal transmitted by the processor to the computer will be the same as the signal for the scroll wheel of a conventional mouse to scroll backward. It should be noted that... Figure 8In one of the variations, the input device 100 may include two magnetic sensors 3 (located at the bottom of the figure and shown as imaginary lines) arranged on the same axis.

[0051] Please see Figure 9 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the sixth embodiment of the input device of this application. The biggest difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiments is that the input device 100 further includes an elastic auxiliary reset member 9. The elastic auxiliary reset member 9 is disposed between the cover 6 and the magnetic sensor 3. The elastic auxiliary reset member 9 is, for example, a ring-shaped elastic structure, but is not limited thereto. The elastic auxiliary reset member 9 is a non-magnetic structure.

[0052] When the cover 6 is under pressure, it will press against the elastic auxiliary reset member 9, which will elastically deform. When the cover 6 is no longer under pressure, the elastic restoring force generated by the elastic deformation of the elastic auxiliary reset member 9 will help the cover 6 return to its unpressurized state. The design of the elastic auxiliary reset member 9 allows the cover 6 to return to its unpressurized state more quickly when it is no longer under pressure. The shape and number of the elastic auxiliary reset member 9 can be designed according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0053] Please see Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the seventh embodiment of the input device of this application. One difference between this embodiment and the aforementioned first embodiment is that the input device 100 may also have a vertical substrate 10A, on which a magnetic sensor is disposed. For ease of explanation, the magnetic sensor disposed on the vertical substrate 10A is defined as an auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A. The auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A is located in the region of the magnetic element 7 in the orthographic projection direction toward the vertical substrate 10A. The support structure 2 may be an elastic structure, and the user may operate the cover 6 to move the cover 6 toward the auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A. With this design, after the processor 4 receives the sensing signal transmitted by the auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A, it can determine whether the user has moved the cover 6 toward or away from the auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A, thereby generating a corresponding control signal. For example, the control signal generated by the processor 4 after receiving the sensing signal transmitted by the auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A may be the same as the control signal generated by the scroll wheel of a conventional mouse when scrolling forward or backward. Of course, the number and position of the upright substrate 10A and the auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A can vary according to actual needs and are not limited to the description and figures above. It should be noted that in different embodiments, the support structure 2 and the substrate 1 can be connected by a sliding structure such as a slide rail, and the user can operate the cover 6 to move the cover 6 closer to or away from the auxiliary magnetic sensor 3A.

[0054] Please see Figure 11 This is a partially exploded schematic diagram of the eighth embodiment of the input device of this application. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiments is that the magnetic sensor can be a ring-shaped magnetic sensor 3B, and the ring-shaped magnetic sensor 3B may include at least one magnetic induction coil. By encapsulating the magnetic induction coil into a ring-shaped magnetic sensor 3B, assembly can be facilitated, reducing assembly steps and time, and further reducing the overall size of the input device.

[0055] In one variation of this embodiment, the cover 6 may be provided with multiple magnetic elements 7, while in the annular magnetic sensor 3B, multiple induction coils may be provided at the positions corresponding to the multiple magnetic elements 7.

[0056] In summary, the electronic device and input device of this application utilize the magnetic induction characteristics, namely, the closer the magnetic component is to the magnetic sensor, the stronger the signal. In addition, the elastic reset structure allows the cover to reset after being released from pressure, instead of using a compression spring. Therefore, the overall size of the input device can be significantly reduced, and the overall height of the input device can be less than 4 cm. Furthermore, by designing the magnetic sensor to be located within the range of the magnetic component's orthogonal projection onto the substrate, the sensing sensitivity of the magnetic sensor can be effectively improved.

[0057] The embodiments and / or implementation methods described above are merely preferred embodiments and / or implementation methods for implementing the technology of this application, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the technology of this application in any way. Any person skilled in the art may make some modifications or alterations to other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical means disclosed in this application, but these should still be regarded as the technology or embodiments that are substantially the same as those of this application.
