本发明提供一种电子系统(Electronic system)，其包括多个使用者可操作的按键(User-operable key)且该多个按键能提示被使用者碰触。并且具体地，本发明涉及一种利用声音、影像或震动的提示方式提示使用者操作按键的电子系统。The present invention provides an electronic system (Electronic system), which includes a plurality of user-operable keys (User-operable keys), and the plurality of keys can prompt to be touched by the user. And specifically, the present invention relates to an electronic system that prompts a user to operate a button by means of sound, video or vibration.
背景技术Background technique
随着生活节奏的改变，现代人越来越讲求速度和效率。研究结果显示现代人对于具有通讯便利特性的电子商品的依赖程度日益加重。因此，为了满足不同消费者的需求，国内外的厂商不断地推陈出新，绞尽脑汁地设计出琳琅满目的商品。目前最热门的电子商品是一个结合通讯、娱乐、拍照、商务，等多项功能于一体的整合性商品。然而，在厂商一昧的追逐商品的外型以及功能的同时，一个重要的商品特性——“人性化”却逐渐消失。With the changing rhythm of life, modern people pay more and more attention to speed and efficiency. The research results show that modern people are increasingly dependent on electronic commodities with the characteristics of convenient communication. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of different consumers, manufacturers at home and abroad are constantly introducing new ones and racking their brains to design a wide range of products. Currently the most popular electronic product is an integrated product that combines communication, entertainment, photography, business, and other functions in one. However, while manufacturers are obsessively chasing the appearance and function of products, an important product characteristic - "humanization" is gradually disappearing.
目前的电子商品和人性化的设计理念的间存在多个矛盾点，而其中的一个矛盾点是电子商品的按键呈现方式。在电子商品的各种按键呈现方式中，以手机的按键呈现方式最不符合人性化的设计。尤其是近年来各类型的手机商品逐渐朝薄型化的目标发展，手机不断地被压缩，造成持握时的虚浮感以及操作时的困难度。“超薄型”手机产品虽然具备轻便的优点，然而其按键的厚度随着机身的厚度不断的压缩而减少，造成使用者操作按键时的不便。当通过该多个按键进行功能的点选或资料的输入时，常会因为手指无法通过碰触的方式清楚地辨识不同的按键，造成同时键入多个错误的按键。There are many contradictions between the current electronic products and the humanized design concept, and one of the contradictions is the button presentation method of electronic products. Among the various button presentation methods of electronic products, the button presentation method of mobile phones is the least in line with the humanized design. Especially in recent years, various types of mobile phone products have gradually developed towards the goal of thinning, and mobile phones are constantly being compressed, resulting in a sense of emptiness when holding and difficulty in operation. Although "ultra-thin" mobile phone products have the advantage of being light and portable, the thickness of its keys decreases with the continuous compression of the thickness of the fuselage, which causes inconvenience for users to operate the keys. When selecting functions or inputting data through the multiple keys, it is often because the fingers cannot clearly identify different keys by touching them, resulting in multiple wrong keys being input at the same time.
请参阅图1，图1是示出根据现有技术的电子系统1的示意图。对于一般老年人或视力不佳者而言，该电子系统1上的按键10的紧密排列方式以及缩减的厚度往往造成使用者不易通过视觉或触觉辨识不同按键，导致无法键入正确的按键。虽然其它电子商品的按键的排列方式较为松散致使不同按键之间有可辨识的间距且按键具有一定的厚度，然而对于视觉障碍者而言，则依然必须通过额外的辅助工具以协助按键的操作。Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an
因此，本发明的主要目的在于提供一种包括使用者可操作的按键且能提示按键被触碰的电子系统，以解决上述问题。也就是说，根据本发明的电子系统具有按键提示的功能，能对老年人或视觉障碍者提供视觉上或听觉上的提示以进行按键的操作，达到操控电子系统的目的。Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide an electronic system including user-operable keys and capable of prompting that the keys are touched, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.

FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram illustrating an
在一具体实施例中，该提示装置26是该显示器28。该处理器24用以响应对应的感应信号，产生对应的提示信号，并且随后传输该对应的提示信号至该显示器28。该显示器28包括显示控制器(Display controller)。该显示控制器用以响应该提示信号，产生对应的显示信号(Display signal)，并且驱动该显示器28显示该对应的显示信号。该显示信号是影像信号。In a specific embodiment, the prompting device 26 is the
举例说明，当该使用者仅将手指轻放接触在该多个使用者可操作的按键200中的一个按键200的表面时，该个按键200的碰触感应器220a响应该个按键的被碰触，产生感应信号并输出至该处理器24。该处理器24响应该对应的感应信号，产生并输出对应的提示信号至该显示器28。该显示器28响应该对应的提示信号，显示该个按键200的放大字型或控制该喇叭语音发声、播出该个按键200的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动。当使用者将手指离开该个按键表面时，该个按键200的显示的放大字型被消除。当该使用者按压该多个使用者可操作的按键200中的一个按键200时，该个按键200的开关220b被开启，并且响应该个按键的按压动作，产生并输出对应的开关信号至该处理器24。该处理器24响应该对应的开关信号，产生对应的按键信号，并且执行该个按键200的输入指令。以按键“2”为例，当该使用者仅将手指放在“2”时，该感应器感应到该手指的碰触动作，产生并输出对应的感应信号至该处理器24。该处理器24响应该对应的感应信号，产生并输出对应的提示信号至该显示器28。该显示器显示“2”的放大字型、控制该喇叭语音发声播出“2”的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动。当使用者将手指离开”2”按键的表面时，”2”的显示的放大字型被消除。然而，当该使用者按压“2”时，“2”的开关被开启，产生并输出对应的开关信号至该处理器24。该处理器24响应该对应的开关信号，产生对应的按键信号，并且执行”2”的输入指令。同样地，当该使用者仅将该手指放在“3”时，该处理器24产生并输出对应的提示信号。当该使用者按压“3”时，则该处理器24产生对应的按键信号，并且执行“3”的输入指令。以此类推，该多个使用者可操作的按键中200的每一个按键200可通过不同的键入模式选择性地产生对应的提示信号或对应的按键信号。For example, when the user only gently touches the surface of a key 200 among the plurality of user-
请参阅图2C，图2C是示出根据本发明的该电子系统2的一个使用者可操作的按键200的另一实施例的剖面图。该电子系统2中的该多个使用者可操作的按键200中的每一个按键200包括各自的全压碰触柱2000a以及各自的半压碰触柱2000b。该多个使用者可操作的按键200下方是开关层。该开关层包括第一软性薄膜层2004、第二软性薄膜层2006以及间隔层2008。该间隔层2008位于该第一软性薄膜层2004与该第二软性薄膜层2006之间。该多个使用者可操作的按键200中的每一个按键200进一步包括全压开关以及半压开关。该全压开关包括两个各自的全压开关接点2002a。该半压开关包括两个各自的半压开关接点2002b。该第一软性薄膜层2004与该第二软性薄膜层2006上分别包括该两个全压开关接点2002a中的一个全压开关接点2002a、该两个半压开关接点2002b中的一个半压开关接点2002b以及对应的电路(未图标)。该两个全压开关接点2002a对应该全压碰触柱2000a。该两个半压开关接点2002b对应该半压碰触柱2000b。当该使用者半压该多个按键200中的一个按键200时，该半压碰触柱2000b最先压到该第一软性薄膜层2004上的该个半压开关接点2002b，并且促使该个半压开关接点2002b与该第二软性薄膜层2006上的该个半压开关接点2002b碰触。该处理器24进而通过该电路检测到该二接点接通的半压信号。该处理器24响应该感应装置所产生的该对应的半压信号产生并输出对应的提示信号至该显示器28。该显示器28显示该个按键200的放大字型、控制该喇叭语音发声播出该个按键200的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动。当使用者于半压后随即释放该个按键时，该个按键200的显示的放大字型被消除。当该使用者全压该多个按键200中的一个按键200时，该全压碰触柱2000a压到该第一软性薄膜层2004上的该个全压开关接点2002a，并且促使该个全压开关接点2002a与该第二软性薄膜层2006上的该个全压开关接点2002a碰触。该处理器24进而通过该电路检测到该二接点接通的全压信号。该处理器24响应该全压信号产生对应的按键信号，并且执行该个按键的输入指令。以按键“2”为例，当该使用者半压“2”时，该处理器24产生并输出对应的提示信号至该显示器28。该显示器28以显示“2”的放大字型、控制该喇叭语音发声播出“2”的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动的方式提示该使用者目前所半压的按键为“2”。当使用者于半压后随即释放“2”按键时，“2”按键的显示的放大字型被消除。当该使用者全压“2”时，则该处理器24产生对应的按键信号，并且执行“2”的输入指令。同样地，当该使用者半压“3”时，该处理器24产生并输出对应的提示信号。当该使用者全压“3”时，则该处理器24产生对应的按键信号，并且执行“3”的输入指令。以此类推，该多个使用者可操作的按键中200的每一个按键200可通过不同的键入压力选择性地产生对应的提示信号或对应的按键信号。Please refer to FIG. 2C , which is a cross-sectional view illustrating another embodiment of a user-
请参阅图3A以及图3B，图3A是示出根据本发明的第二优选具体实施例的电子系统3的功能方块图。图3B是示出根据本发明的该第二优选具体实施例的该电子系统3的另一功能方块图。该电子系统3包括使用者输入装置30、提示装置34以及处理器32。该使用者输入装置30包括多个使用者可操作按键300。该多个使用者可操作按键300中的每一个按键300包括各自的开关320。该开关320电耦接至该处理器32。该开关320根据一个按键300的键入动作选择性地产生并传输开关信号至该处理器32。该处理器32电耦接至该提示装置34。该处理器32用以基于该多个按键300中的一个按键300的键入动作选择性地产生对应的提示信号或对应的按键信号(Key signal)并执行该按键的输入指令。其中该对应的提示信号被传输至该提示装置34。该提示装置34根据该提示信号产生对应的提示。而该处理器32并不执行该按键的该输入指令，使使用者可根据该对应的提示判定是否继续该按键后续的键入动作。Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B . FIG. 3A is a functional block diagram illustrating an
在一种实施方式中，该处理器32基于该个按键300的键入动作的时间长短选择性地产生对应的提示信号或对应的按键信号。以按键“2”为例，当使用者按压按键“2”且该按压动作的时间少于预定时间，例如1秒时，该处理器32基于“2”的按压动作，判定为感应信号，进而产生并输出对应的提示信号至该提示装置34。该提示装置34显示“2”的放大字型、控制该喇叭语音发声播出“2”的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动。“2”的显示的放大字型则于显示一段时间后消除。当使用者按压“2”至少1秒时，则该处理器32判定为开关信号，进而产生对应的按键信号，并且执行按键“2”的输入指令。同样地，当使用者按压该按键“3”少于1秒时，该处理器32产生并输出对应的提示信号。当使用者按压“3”至少1秒时，则该处理器32产生对应的按键信号，并且执行按键“3”的输入指令。以此类推，该多个使用者可操作的按键中300的每一个按键300可通过键入动作的时间长短选择性地产生对应的提示信号或对应的按键信号。In one embodiment, the
在另一种实施方式中，该处理器32可基于该个按键300的键入动作次数选择性地产生对应的提示信号或对应的按键信号。当使用者第一次按压一个按键300，譬如“2”时，“2”的键帽所对应的开关320响应该使用者按压的按压动作，产生并输出信号至处理器。该处理器32判定该信号为感应信号，进而产生并输出对应的提示信号至该提示装置34。该提示装置34显示“2”的放大字型、控制该喇叭语音发声播出“2”的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动。若使用者接下来没有再按压任何按键，“2”的显示的放大字型则于显示一预定时间后被消除。若使用者紧接下来再度按压“2”，则该处理器32判定该开关的信号为开关信号，进而产生对应的按键信号，并且执行按键“2”的输入指令。若使用者紧接下来未再按压按键“2”，而是按压另一个按键，譬如“3”时，则处理器32判定按键“3”的开关的信号为感应信号，进而产生并输出对应的提示信号至该提示装置34。该提示装置34将“2”的显示的放大字型消除，接着显示“3”的放大字型、控制该喇叭语音发声播出“3”的读音或基于震动讯号进行震动。以此类推，该多个使用者可操作的按键中300的每一个按键300可通过双重键入的模式，提示使用者可能键入的按键300，以避免键入错误的按键300。In another embodiment, the
