Description

1 TARIFF Folding keyboard for handheld consoles TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention relates to a folding keyboard for handheld consoles in general. The invention specifically enables typing short messages, entering shortcut commands, and on handheld consoles. A compact 10 that performs functions such as menu navigation without compromising portability. with a foldable keyboard that integrates into handheld consoles and operates without requiring power. It is related. STATE OF THE ART Nowadays, in portable game consoles, text inputs are processed when a field is selected. This can be done via a virtual keyboard that allows you to select letters on the screen. This method is especially useful when playing outdoors or on the go without a physical keyboard. Virtual keyboards are only useful when input needs to be done via a controller. Closing part of the game or application screen negatively impacts the user experience. These effects slow down typing speed and become tiring during prolonged use. Another text input method used in current technology is external keyboards. A wired USB connection to a portable game console or portable gaming device. When an external keyboard, such as a keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard, is connected, the device's text input speed is 25. In the required areas, typing is much faster and more comfortable compared to a virtual keyboard. However, external keyboards eliminate the advantage of portability; plus, connectivity and battery life. It creates lifespan and compatibility issues. While some consoles have partial shortcut keys or touch areas, 30 These do not offer full keyboard functionality and are ergonomically suitable for long writing tasks. Therefore, current solutions do not allow users to chat quickly and without interruption. It does not allow for easy entry of application / in-game commands. 2 Based on research conducted under the known state of the art, US20020006815A1 Application number [number] was found. In the said application, for a mobile communication device... A foldable design consisting of two sections, positioned to fit on either side of the screen. The keyboard system is explained. The device is compact when the keyboard is in the closed position. The key layout is 5, allowing both hands to be used when the key is in the open position. This includes, for example, devices such as handheld consoles or phones. It is used for text input on portable devices. Here, the keyboard is located on the device body. in the form of panels placed on top, for example, one panel on the body It is described as being mounted in a rotatable manner. However, the touch strip... or a folding mechanism and device 10 with a similar touch area There is no mention of it being placed in the body in a way that can be "concealed in a slim form". As a result, improvements are being made to foldable keyboards for handheld consoles. Therefore, it will eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and improve existing systems. New structures are needed to provide a solution. 15 THE PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The present invention meets the aforementioned requirements and overcomes all the disadvantages. 20 with foldable keyboard for handheld consoles that eliminates the need for manual operation and offers some additional advantages. It is related. The main purpose of the invention is to enable writing short messages and entering shortcut commands on handheld consoles. and performs functions such as menu navigation, compactly, without compromising portability. a foldable keyboard that integrates into handheld consoles in some way and operates without requiring power 25 to provide. One aim of the invention is to allow it to be opened and closed when needed, thanks to its low-profile mechanical structure. The goal is to offer a keyboard that can be used and then hidden away in a slim form factor when not in use. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. And thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures, it becomes clearer. This will be understood as such. Therefore, the evaluation should also be based on these forms and details. This should be done taking the explanation into consideration. 3 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES The best way to utilize the advantages of the existing invention, together with its structure and additional elements. For understanding, it should be evaluated together with the figures explained below. It is necessary. 5 Figure 1 shows a representative view of the folding keyboard, which is the subject of the invention. REFERENCE NUMBERS 1. Hinge 10 2. Keypad 3. Capacitive strip 4. Magnetic lock 5. Communication unit DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION This detailed description outlines the preferred configurations for the foldable keyboard that is the subject of the invention. purely for the purpose of better understanding the subject and without any limiting influence. It is explained in a way that will not create. 20 The invention, a representative view of which is given in Figure 1, enables writing short messages on handheld consoles. It performs functions such as entering shortcut commands and navigating menus. power that integrates compactly into handheld consoles without compromising portability It is a folding keyboard that operates without requiring any additional tools. The invention concerns a folding keyboard; 25  A hinge that connects the keyboard to the handheld console and allows it to be opened and closed. (1),  Keyboard-based shortcuts for typing short messages on the handheld console. a key that performs functions such as entering commands and navigating menus team (2), 30  Swipe, touch, and multi-gesture support provide the user with additional control. a capacitive strip (3), 4  Prevents the keyboard from wobbling open when it is folded and closed. a magnetic lock (4),  Keypad (2) and capacitive strip (3) with hand console without delay a communication unit that enables communication (5) It includes. 5 The invention is a foldable keyboard integrated into a handheld console. It is foldable and has a low profile. Thanks to its mechanical structure, it can be opened and used when needed and stored away when not in use. A keypad (2) and capacitive ribbon (3) that can be concealed in a slim form are offered. This structure Thanks to this, the user can quickly open it with one hand during gameplay. It also supports carrying external devices. Without needing any additional tools, both typing speed increases and functional input options multiply. The invention aims to speed up text and command input on foldable keyboard handheld consoles. and is designed to be ergonomic. The working principle is to fit it into a slim body. an integrated foldable keypad (2) and a capacitive 15 working with it It is based on the principle that the lane (3) can be activated by opening it quickly when needed. The invention relates to a foldable keyboard, a virtual keyboard in existing technology, and external accessories. It has provided a much faster, more practical, and user-friendly solution compared to previous solutions. Portability is maintained while the gaming and application experience remains uninterrupted. This is especially true in online applications and games, where chat and rapid command input are required. and provides great convenience for menu navigation. The hinge (1) holds the keyboard in place. It attaches to the bottom of the console and allows it to be opened with one hand. Its robust construction... Thanks to this, it provides long-lasting use. The key set (2) on the keyboard, It offers a low-profile, quiet, and fast typing experience on the keyboard surface. Traditional 25 Because it is much thinner than mechanical or membrane buttons, the console's It does not impair portability. The capacitive strip (3) is located just above the keyboard.
