[0051] With the development of society and the advancement of technology, people's entertainment life is becoming more and more abundant. Handheld games have become one of the important entertainment methods for young people. Therefore, handheld game consoles are generally favored by young people. However, since most handheld game consoles are closed systems for pure games, they cannot meet the needs of users for daily office work while satisfying the users' game entertainment. In view of this, the entertainment function of tablets has also been further derived and developed. In order to improve the user's operating experience when using a tablet to play handheld games, the tablet can be equipped with a game controller, which can be detachably connected to the tablet. When the game controller is installed on the tablet, the game controller and the tablet together form a form similar to a game handheld. Compared with the traditional touch tablet operation method for playing games, the operation method of playing games through the game controller is conducive to improving the user's control accuracy of the game character, thereby improving the user's gaming experience. When the game controller is removed from the tablet, the tablet can be used for daily office work, realizing the multi-purpose use of the tablet.

[0052] However, the existing game controller has a single function and can only be used to control the tablet when playing handheld games, but cannot be used to control the tablet in daily office mode.

[0053] In order to improve the functional diversity of the game controller, the game controller can be used to control the tablet in both game mode and daily office mode. Figures 1 to 4An embodiment of the utility model provides an input component for controlling the operation of an electronic device 200. Here, the input component can be a game controller, and the electronic device 200 can be a tablet. Specifically, the input component includes an input unit 100, and the input unit 100 includes an operation wall surface 110 and a sliding wall surface 120. The operation wall surface 110 and the sliding wall surface 120 are arranged opposite to each other. The operation wall surface 110 is provided with a plurality of function keys 111, and the sliding wall surface 120 is provided with a cursor positioning unit 121. The function keys 111 include a first function key 1111, a joystick 1112, and a mouse button 1113. The input unit 100 includes a plurality of function keys 1111, a joystick 1112, and a mouse button 1113. 00 is detachably connected to the electronic device 200 so that there are an installed state and a disassembled state between the input unit 100 and the electronic device 200. When the input unit 100 is in the installed state, the input unit 100 is configured to be able to manipulate the electronic device 200 through at least one of the first function button 1111, the joystick 1112 and the mouse button 1113. When the input unit 100 is in the disassembled state, the input unit 100 is configured to be able to slide through the sliding wall 120 and wirelessly manipulate the electronic device 200 through at least one of the first function button 1111, the joystick 1112 and the mouse button 1113.

[0054] Specifically, in order to enable the input unit 100 to have the function of controlling the electronic device 200 for daily office work in addition to the function of controlling the electronic device 200 for playing games, in the present embodiment, the input unit 100 is detachably connected to the electronic device 200. When the input unit 100 is installed on the electronic device 200, that is, when the electronic device 200 is in the game mode, the action of the game character can be manipulated by using at least one of the first function button 1111, the joystick 1112 and the mouse button 1113. Exemplarily, for example, the game character can be controlled by a combination of the first function button 1111 and the joystick 1112, wherein the first function button 1111 can control the selection of the game mode, or the attack of the game character, etc. The game functions of the first function button 1111 are no longer enumerated one by one here. The joystick 1112 can control the movement of the game character, etc. At this time, the input unit 100 can act as a game controller, and the input unit 100 and the electronic device 200 are combined to form a handheld game console. When the input unit 100 is removed from the electronic device 200, that is, when the electronic device 200 is in the office mode, at least one of the first function button 1111, the joystick 1112 and the mouse button 1113 can be used to operate the electronic device 200 for daily office work. For example, the mouse button 1113 can be used to complete the cursor click control on the screen of the electronic device 200. At the same time, the sliding of the sliding wall can also be used to cooperate with the movement of the cursor. At this time, the input unit 100 can act as an operating mouse, and the input unit 100 and the electronic device 200 are combined to form a PC. In addition, when the input unit 100 is removed from the electronic device 200, the input unit 100 can also be used to control the electronic device 200 for games. For example, when the user needs to play certain shooting games, the aiming accuracy of the game is relatively high. In order to improve the user's gaming experience, the input unit 100 can be removed from the electronic device 200 and used as a mouse to control the cursor, which is more conducive to the user to perform operations such as crosshair aiming, thereby improving the user's gaming experience.

[0055] Therefore, the input unit 100 can realize the multi-purpose of the electronic device 200. The input unit 100 adopts the above structure, so that the functions of the input unit 100 are increased. On the one hand, when the input unit 100 is installed on the electronic device 200, the input unit 100 is helpful to improve the control accuracy of the user for the entertainment game and the user's operating experience. On the other hand, after the input unit 100 is removed from the electronic device 200, the input unit 100 is helpful to improve the user's office efficiency.

[0056] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 4In order to improve the holding comfort of the input unit 100, in the present embodiment, the operating wall 110 and the sliding wall 120 are arranged relative to each other, so that the overall structure of the input unit 100 presents a "pancake structure". The specific structure of the input unit 100 can refer to the structural form of a common computer mouse. Such a structure conforms to the usage habits of most users and can effectively improve the user's operating experience in entertainment games and daily office work. For example, taking the input unit 100 as an operating mouse as an example, the sliding wall 120 of the input unit 100 is in contact with a moving plane (for example, the moving plane can be a desktop), then the operating wall 110 is in contact with the palm of the hand. When the user holds the input unit 100, shaking the wrist can make the input unit 100 slide on the moving plane through the sliding wall 120, and at the same time, the function key 111 can be clicked on the operating wall 110 at any time to achieve control of the electronic device 200.

[0057] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 4 In order to improve the control accuracy of the function key 111 on the input unit 100 for the electronic device 200, such as controlling the movement accuracy of the cursor on the display screen of the electronic device 200, in this embodiment, a cursor positioning unit 121 is provided on the sliding wall 120 of the input unit 100, and the moving direction and moving distance of the input unit 100 are determined by the cursor positioning unit 121, so as to complete the positioning of the cursor. The structure of the cursor positioning unit 121 can refer to the structure of the optical mouse. For example, the cursor positioning unit 121 can include an optical sensor, an optical lens, a light emitting diode, and a chip, etc. The light emitting diode emits light to illuminate the surface of the sliding wall 120. Since the sliding wall 120 is in contact with the moving plane, the surface of the sliding wall 120 will reflect a part of the light emitted by the light emitting diode. The reflected light passes through a group of optical lenses and is transmitted to an optical sensor to form an image. In this way, when the input unit 100 moves, its moving trajectory will be recorded as a group of high-speed continuous images. Finally, a dedicated image analysis chip (DSP, i.e., digital microprocessor) inside the input unit 100 is used to analyze and process a series of images captured on the moving trajectory. By analyzing the changes in the positions of feature points on these images, the moving direction and distance of the input unit 100 are determined, thereby completing the positioning of the cursor.

[0058] Furthermore, in order to improve the connection stability between the input part 100 and the electronic device 200 and prevent the electronic device 200 from falling off the input part 100, in the present embodiment, the input part 100 may be provided with a first magnetic part at the docking point with the electronic device 200, and the electronic device 200 and the input part 100 may be provided with a second magnetic part. The magnetic properties of the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part are opposite, so that the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part can attract each other. Such a structure is conducive to improving the connection stability between the input part 100 and the electronic device 200, so that the input part 100 and the electronic device 200 are combined into a "handheld game console" with good integrity.

[0059] It should be noted that, refer to Figures 1 to 8 , one input assembly may include two of the above-mentioned input units 100. When the input unit 100 is installed on the electronic device 200 for game operation, the two input units 100 may be respectively arranged on opposite sides of the electronic device 200 along the length direction of the electronic device 200, so as to facilitate the user to hold and operate. The function keys 111 arranged on the two input units 100 may be different to adapt to the different requirements of left and right hand operation during the game. In addition, the two input units 100 can be removed from the electronic device 200 and combined into a general operating handle to remotely operate the game on the electronic device 200. Different settings of the input unit 100 can adapt to people with different gaming habits.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 , along the length direction X of the input unit 100, the first function key 1111 and the rocker 1112 are arranged at one end of the operation wall 110, and the mouse button 1113 is arranged at the other end opposite to the operation wall 110. The mouse button 1113 includes a first control key 1114 and a second control key 1115, and along the width direction Y of the input unit 100, the first control key 1114 and the second control key 1115 are arranged in parallel.

[0061] Specifically, in order to prevent the user from accidentally touching the first function button 1111, the joystick 1112 or the mouse button 1113 on the operating wall 110 during the operation of the input unit 100, thereby causing incorrect control of the electronic device 200, in the present embodiment, the function keys 111 are divided into blocks, and the function keys 111 required to be used in the same mode are combined together. For example, if the input unit 100 often uses the first function button 1111 and the joystick 1112 in the mode of acting as a game controller, and often uses the mouse button 1113 in the mode of operating a mouse, the first function button 1111 and the joystick 1112 are combined together. The rod 1112 assembly is arranged at one end of the operation wall 110, and it is assumed that the area of ​​the operation wall 110 provided with the first function button 1111 and the rocker 1112 is the first operation area, and the mouse button 1113 is separately arranged at the other end opposite to the operation wall 110, and it is assumed that the area of ​​the operation wall 110 provided with the mouse button 1113 is the second operation area. With the above design, when the user uses the input unit 100 to play games, the user can only grip in the first operation area and stay away from the second operation area, which will reduce the probability of the user accidentally touching the mouse button 1113, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the operation and improving the gaming experience. Similarly, when the user uses the input unit 100 to work, the user can only grip in the second operation area and stay away from the first operation area, which will reduce the probability of the user accidentally touching the first function button 1111 and the rocker 1112, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the operation and improving the office efficiency. It is understandable that when it is necessary to grasp different operation areas of the input unit 100, the corresponding end can be adaptively adjusted to the side close to the finger, so as to facilitate the user to use the finger to complete the operation of the function key 111 and improve the user's operating comfort.

[0062] It should be noted that, refer to Figures 1 to 4 In order to reduce the overall size of the electronic device 200 equipped with the input unit 100 and improve the user's comfort in holding the electronic device 200, a plurality of function keys 111 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the input unit 100. Further, analogous to the structure of a common operating mouse, in order to distinguish the different functions of the mouse button 1113, the mouse button 1113 includes a first control key 1114 and a second control key 1115 arranged in parallel along the width direction Y of the input unit 100. Such a structure conforms to the operating habits of most users for the mouse button 1113. For example, the index finger can be placed on the first control key 1114 on the left, and the middle finger can be placed on the second control key 1115 on the right.

[0063] Furthermore, since the joystick 1112 is a protruding structure, in order to prevent the joystick 1112 from being accidentally touched when operating the mouse button 1113, in some embodiments, a spring is provided at one end of the joystick 1112 located inside the input unit 100, so that the joystick 1112 can be retracted into the input unit 100, or extended from the input unit 100. When the joystick 1112 is retracted into the input unit 100, the cover plate can be used to cover and buckle the joystick 1112 to prevent the joystick 1112 from popping out again, thereby making the position where the joystick 1112 is provided become flat, thereby improving the user's grip comfort.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The input unit 100 includes a first control switch 140 , which is electrically connected to the mouse button 1113 and is used to control the mouse button 1113 to be turned on or off.

[0065] Specifically, in order to further improve the anti-mistouch function of the input unit 100, when operating the first function button 1111 and the joystick 1112, accidental touching of the mouse button 1113 can be prevented. In this embodiment, a first control switch 140 can be set in the input unit 100, and the on and off of the mouse button 1113 circuit is controlled by the first control switch 140. The first control switch 140 has an on position and a off position. When the input unit 100 is converted into the function of operating the mouse, the first control switch 140 can be turned to the on position, thereby connecting the mouse button 1113 and the battery arranged inside the input unit 100, so as to realize the on state of the mouse button 1113. When the input unit 100 is converted into the function of a game controller, the first control switch 140 can be turned to the off position, thereby disconnecting the mouse button 1113 and the battery arranged inside the input unit 100, so as to realize the off state of the mouse button 1113. The mouse button 1113 is turned on and off through the first control switch 140. Even if the mouse button 1113 is accidentally touched, it will not interfere with the user's operation, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0066] It should be noted that, refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the first control switch 140 can be set on the sliding wall 120, so as to ensure that the first control switch 140 does not occupy additional space of the input part 100.

[0067] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The function key 111 includes a touch pad 1116 , and the touch pad 1116 is arranged between the first function key 1111 and the mouse button 1113 .

[0068] Specifically, in order to further improve the operational flexibility of the input unit 100 and meet the user's daily needs for controlling the cursor, in this embodiment, a touch pad 1116 is further provided on the operating wall 110 of the input unit 100, analogous to the touch operation panel on a laptop computer, and the user's finger rubs on the touch pad 1116 to control the movement of the cursor. The touch pad 1116 here can replace the cursor positioning unit 121 in the above embodiment. When the cursor movement is controlled by the touch pad 1116, the input unit 100 does not need to be driven to move as a whole, so that the input unit 100 can be operated more conveniently.

[0069] It should be noted that the circuit connection structure of the touch panel 1116 can refer to the circuit connection structure of the touch operation panel in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The input unit 100 includes a second control switch 150, which is electrically connected to the touch pad 1116 and is used to control the activation of the touch pad 1116. The second control switch 150 includes a fingerprint recognition module, a touch wake-up module and a control board. The fingerprint recognition module is used to collect and identify fingerprint images. The touch wake-up module is connected to the fingerprint recognition module and is used to receive information generated by the fingerprint recognition module. The control board is connected to the touch wake-up module and is used to receive information generated by the touch wake-up module and control the activation of the touch pad 1116.

[0071] Specifically, in view of the small size and limited space of the input unit 100, the function keys 111 on the operating wall 110 are arranged compactly. In order to further improve the anti-mistouch function of the input unit 100, in this embodiment, a second control switch 150 can be set in the input unit 100, and the on and off of the touch panel 1116 circuit can be controlled by the second control switch 150. The second control switch 150 can be a fingerprint recognition switch. When the user presses the fingerprint of the hand on the fingerprint recognition module, the fingerprint recognition module can collect and recognize the user's fingerprint image information. Only when the current fingerprint image information exists in the fingerprint image library entered in advance can the fingerprint recognition module generate a corresponding electrical signal and transmit the generated electrical signal to the touch wake-up module. After the touch wake-up module receives the electrical signal generated by the fingerprint recognition module, it detects the user's touch action. Only after the user's finger is pressed for a preset time (exemplarily, for example, the preset time can be 15s, 20s, 30s, etc., to prevent the touch panel 1116 from being mistakenly opened due to a short-term accidental touch by the user), the touch wake-up module can generate a corresponding electrical signal and transmit the generated electrical signal to the control panel. After the control panel receives the electrical signal generated by the touch wake-up module, it controls the touch panel 1116 to turn on the operable state. At this time, the user can use the touch panel 1116 to perform command operations on the electronic device 200.

[0072] The activation of the touch pad 1116 is controlled by the second control switch 150. The activation of the touch pad 1116 can be controlled by the second control switch 150. Only after the touch pad 1116 is turned on, the user can use the touch pad 1116 to perform command operations on the electronic device 200. This is conducive to further improving the anti-mistouch effect of the input unit 100, and avoiding erroneous operation of the electronic device 200 due to unintentional touching of the touch pad 1116.

[0073] It should be noted that the second control switch 150 can be set at the position of the touch panel 1116 to facilitate the user to open the touch panel 1116 by pressing a fingerprint.

[0074] Furthermore, when the touchpad 1116 has not been used for a preset time (for example, the preset time may be 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.), the touchpad 1116 may self-lock. In the self-locking state, the touchpad 1116 is in an inoperable state.

[0075] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The input unit 100 includes a side wall surface 130 , which extends from the operation wall surface 110 to the sliding wall surface 120 , and a mouse wheel 131 is disposed on the side wall surface 130 .

[0076] Specifically, in order to effectively utilize the overall space of the input unit 100, different types of function keys 111 can be dispersedly arranged in the input unit 100. In this embodiment, some infrequently used function keys 111 can be set on the side wall surface 130 of the input unit 100. For example, the mouse wheel 131 can only be used when the input unit 100 is converted to the mouse operation mode and the page is slid. The mouse wheel 131 is a protruding structure. Therefore, in order to reasonably arrange the distribution of the function keys 111 and improve the comfort of the user when holding the input unit 100, the mouse wheel 131 can be set on the side wall surface 130. In order to meet the needs of people with different usage habits, the mouse wheel 131 can be set as a horizontal wheel, so that the mouse wheel 131 can be scrolled horizontally, and the mouse wheel 131 can also be set as a vertical wheel, so that the mouse wheel 131 can be scrolled vertically.

[0077] Furthermore, the mouse wheel 131 can be disposed at one end of the side wall surface 130 close to the mouse button 1113 , so that when operating the mouse button 1113 , the mouse wheel 131 can be operated by the middle finger or the ring finger.

[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The operation wall 110 is provided with a recessed portion 112 at the mouse button 1113 , the first control key 1114 is provided at the non-recessed portion 112 , and the second control key 1115 is provided at the recessed portion 112 .

[0079] Specifically, in order to distinguish the first control key 1114 from the second control key 1115, so that the user can feel the location of the first control key 1114 and the second control key 1115 more directly, and it is convenient for the user to click the first control key 1114 and the second control key 1115 to perform different operations, in the present embodiment, the operation wall 110 is set to an uneven structure at the mouse button 1113, so that the first control key 1114 is in the non-recessed part 112, and the second control key 1115 is in the recessed part 112, thereby changing the hand feeling of the user when touching the first control key 1114 and the second control key 1115 at the same time, and realizing the distinction between the first control key 1114 and the second control key 1115 through touch, so as to avoid the user pressing the wrong control key during operation.

[0080] In some embodiments, the inclination angle α of the recessed portion 112 satisfies: 15°≤α≤20°. For example, the value of α may be 15°, 16°, 17°, 18°, 19°, 20°, etc. By setting the inclination angle of the recessed portion 112 within the above range, it is possible to ensure that there is a tactile difference between the first control key 1114 and the second control key 1115 while preventing the second control key 1115 from being too deeply sunken and affecting the comfort of holding the input unit 100.

[0081] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 The sliding wall 120 is provided with an anti-wear pad 122. By providing the anti-wear pad 122, on the one hand, it is beneficial for the input unit 100 to slide on the moving plane and improve the operation smoothness of the input unit 100. On the other hand, it can effectively prevent the shell of the input unit 100 from being worn and extend the service life of the input unit 100.
