Embodiment:
One, Master Keyboard.(1) hard Master Keyboard.Master Keyboard in this programme can be realized by the entity hard manual, also can realize by the soft keyboard of touch control.If realize by hard manual, the hard manual standard interface that must adopt Figure 12 (75) to provide.Be not inscribed in the character of keyboard and nested secondary inputting interface for other, should be coordinated by the operating system of accepting input equipment and/or input method, be mapped on the display screen of accepting input equipment, prompting user input is as the character to be entered dynamic mapping district of Figure 10 (57-3).Two keys in the middle of hard manual also should be done telltale mark, as shown in Fig. 1 (2), grope the location to facilitate the user to point.Hard manual also should be considered the needs that use night, and night vision function is provided.The electrical connection of hard Master Keyboard and other parts of handheld digital device can by wired connection such as winding displacement, elastic conductive contact array, the realization of USB (miniUSB) connecting line, also can realize by wireless method such as Bluetooth technology.The physical connection of hard Master Keyboard and other parts of handheld digital device can be passed through the realizations such as slide rail, chute, slide bar, guide rail, rotating shaft or band.Hard manual can also be made support, and the support in used time as handheld digital device uses.Hard Master Keyboard has best feel, realizes no matter this programme is mobile phone or dull and stereotyped the best that has all provided hard manual.
(2) soft Master Keyboard.On mobile phone, the telltale mark of soft Master Keyboard can be engraved on the frame of mobile phone, as shown in Fig. 2 (7).Soft Master Keyboard on flat board should allow the user to slide into the appropriate location on screen, facilitates the user to input.The standard keyboard layout (other mother tongues and language that Fvrt is corresponding are made by oneself by corresponding operating system and input method) that must adopt Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 to provide is changed with corresponding relation and the interface of side switch in soft Master Keyboard interface.
(3) Master Keyboard array.Consider the consistency on mobile phone and dull and stereotyped the use, theoptimum array recommendation 6*5 array of Master Keyboard is as Fig. 1 (1) (the acquiescence array of 6*5 is adopted in following place of not expressing, Master Keyboard array without exception).But because handheld digital device varies, 6*6 array such as Fig. 5 (22), 5*6 array such as Fig. 5 (21), 4*7 array or other reasonable arrays of here not listing are also possibilities.From the little limitation of health, sometimes the limit key of Master Keyboard both sides is done to such an extent that a little bit smallerly just can do more other keys of centre a bit due to cell phone apparatus, and better use is as Fig. 2 (6).This programme can provide the input that surpasses 240 kinds possibility.Because side switch can crossbinding be pressed, just can increase one side keyboard layout as pressing simultaneously Fvrt and Eng key.The key such as Ctrl and Alt, these be specifically designed to independent or with the key that Master Keyboard is used in conjunction with, can carry out the input of control command, also having increased many inputs may.
(4) with the compatibility of QWERT layout.On Master Keyboard, the arrangement mode of English alphabet has three kinds of schemes, the scheme that Fig. 3 (13) arranges in alphabetical order for the 6*5 array; Fig. 4 (20) is the QWERT arrangement scheme of the imitative PC keyboard of 6*5 array; Fig. 5 (21) is the QWERT arrangement scheme of the imitative PC keyboard of 5*6 array.This provides the possibility that keeps use habit for the user of missing old times or old friends who has been accustomed to PC keyboard QWERT placement scheme.As long as provide a system that option is set to the user, the user just can select in above 3 a kind of for oneself is used in scheme easily for soft Master Keyboard.For the unification of standard, advise that the English keyboard layout of all Master Keyboards all adopts the scheme of Fig. 3 (13) and 3 (14).
Two, side switch.(1) kind of side switch.Side switch can be conventional hard button, it can be also the soft-key button of touch control, can also be touch sensing board as Fig. 7 (30-3) (30-5) (31-2) (31-4) as shown in, wherein Fig. 7 (30-5) and (31-2) in the dotted line frame be border signal, and the actual frames line on the non-tablet bonnet.The benefit of tablet is to need not the mark key name, need not to point accurate location.Handheld digital device can be fixing according to the finger relative position principle (no matter be how the locus of 5 fingers order hands of hand changes, all changeless), judged the finger of current action by operating system or special software, and the side switch of definite current active.If Master Keyboard is the soft keyboard that there is no constant bearing, side switch is realized by tablet, under gravity sensing device and/or gyroscope cooperation, just can realize a cover side switch left and right handedness general (left-handed person is left handedness namely).Because in the situation that equipment gravity orientation determines, the gripping position by hand is on the right side or the left side just can judge that the user is dextro manuality or left handedness, thereby provides the correct side switch of current active finger correspondence.Except touch sensing board, for soft Master Keyboard, the side switch of realizing with hard button or soft-key button is under gravity sensing device, gyrostatic cooperation, can realize that also the left and right handedness is general, just can not the mark key name, will fully inform the relative order of each side switch of user simultaneously, because same set of side switch is for left handedness and dextro manuality, the spatial order of side switch is just inverted.Certainly in premium applications, also can dynamically show the key name (keyboard that is each side switch can independently dynamically show key name) of side switch in conjunction with gravity sensor, gyroscope etc., reach the dynamically labeled of side switch key name.The best implementation of side switch is touch sensing board, can give the best experience of user.
(2) changeability of side switch position.In each side switch, there is multiple possibility the position of shift key.Can be positioned at the mobile phone left surface, as Fig. 1 (3); Also can be positioned at the top left hand of mobile phone, as Fig. 2 (9); Also can be positioned at the right side, together with other side switch are incorporated into, as Fig. 6 (25); Can also be positioned at dull and stereotyped right side, top, as Fig. 6 (26); And dull and stereotyped back, as Fig. 6 (27-1); Can also be positioned at last the dull and stereotyped positive upper left corner, as Fig. 6 (28-1).Except when right side and other side switch combine as Fig. 6 (25), shift key is by outside the operation of left hand middle finger, in other positions by the left hand thumb manipulation.The 2Hands key can be positioned at the left side, as Fig. 1 (3), and Fig. 6 (28-2); Also can be positioned at dull and stereotyped back, as Fig. 6 (27-2).The 2Hands key is realized button operation when the pressured equipment naturally by the projection of left hand thumb root.This key is not a key that function is very strong, generally is used to indicate this key of equipment mouse scheme and enables, and other schemes should shield, and carries out some preparations that equipment should be done after this key mouse scheme is enabled.The 2Hands key generally can.Except Shift and 2Hands, also there is multiple possibility the position of other side switch, can be positioned at the right side, as Fig. 1 (4); Be positioned at the left side, as Fig. 7 (31-4); Be positioned at the dull and stereotyped back side, as Fig. 6 (28-3); Be positioned at the outside of hard manual, as Fig. 8 (48-3).
(3) changeability of side switch bond number.The number that how much has determined input language kind simultaneously or character of side switch bond number.This programme can arrange 8 keys at most simultaneously, as shown in Figure 1.Wherein, Shift, the 2Hands key mapping is in mobile phone left side, and other side switch are 6 keys such as Ctrl, Fvrt, Eng, Num, Ext and Alt, are positioned at the mobile phone right side.This programme is minimum must arrange 5 keys, as shown in Fig. 2 (5) soft keyboard bar phone.Wherein, shift key is positioned at the mobile phone top left hand, and other side switch are 4 keys such as Ctrl, Eng, Num and Alt, is positioned at the mobile phone right side.
(4) preferred plan of side switch layout.Because of mobile phone and dull and stereotyped different.The best side switch placement scheme of mobile phone is the 8 key schemes of Fig. 1.Dull and stereotyped best side switch placement scheme is the 6 key side switch integrated schemes of Fig. 6 (25), and all side switch comprise that shift key all is integrated into homonymy.Consider the compatibility on mobile phone and dull and stereotyped use habit, the side switch placement scheme of proposed standard is the 6 key homonymy integrated schemes of Fig. 6 (25), and the order of side switch is Ctrl, Fvrt, Shift, Num, Eng, Alt.Standard side switch placement scheme can provide 30*2*3=180 kind input possibility at least.120 kinds of left and right more than the PC keyboard.
(5) tricks of side switch.Can be more than a cover (at this moment, shift key generally all is incorporated into homonymy with other side switch, and the 2Hands key is not set).Especially dull and stereotyped have the gripping position of both direction in length and breadth, and the gripping position of each direction have two kinds grip may, having as shown in Figure 62 kinds of right lateral position and left lateral positions to grip may.The hard manual that Fig. 7 (30-1) (30-4) provides is dull and stereotyped, just is provided with two cover side switch in right side and the left side, back of flat board respectively, grips gesture and grips the position to facilitate the user to change.If consider that the left and right handedness is general, the side switch tricks that can arrange is just more.As dull and stereotyped in the hard manual that Fig. 7 (31-1) (31-3) provides, laterally just be provided with the quadruplet side switch at one.Respectively right side tablet, left side, back tablet, for ordinary person's dextro manuality; Left side tablet, right side, back tablet are for left handedness.Each side switch tablet shields mutually, when namely a cover is enabled, and other three covers forbiddings, and be unlikely to because many cover side switch cause confusion.The two-sided handheld keyboard that Figure 12 (79-1) provides is provided with two cover side switch (79-2) and (79-3), the keyboard operation in corresponding front and Trackpad (79-6) mouse actions at back respectively in the left and right side.By a left-handed person key (79-5) is set, just can realize easily that the left and right handedness is general.Except the handheld keyboard shown in Figure 12 (79-1), advise the general cover side switch that uses of other handheld digital device.
(6) the side switch misoperation prevents.Such as the side switch of right flank, should be gripped by left hand, operate, but the situation that user's right hand is hold by one hand occur.But, just palm contacts with right flank in this case, is difficult to form simultaneously at least 4 (being generally 2) contact points when beginning to grip.No matter be therefore hard button, soft-key button or touch sensing board can judge whether it is that correct side switch grips gesture according to these characteristics, thereby determine whether activate side switch, and further activate Master Keyboard as required.
(7) method of pressing of side switch.The maximum technological difficulties that this programme is realized are that left hand should gripping device, complete again the actuation of keys of side switch (Ctrl, Alt and be positioned at except the shift key on equipment top).How to allow equipment distinguish that the user presses the gripping of side switch and input is pressed very important.This programme has provided following 4 kinds of methods.1. key is pressed.First unclamp corresponding finger, at once again by going back.This method feel is best.2. key discharges.Corresponding finger continues to unclamp, when not needing the function of this side switch again by going back.3. key relatively " pressure differential ".Pressure differential adds quotation marks and refers to it not necessarily the mechanical pressure on ordinary meaning is poor, may be also because other induction differences that caused side switch are pressed in user's reinforcing.This method is which bore that " pressure " maximum judges that the user presses according to each side switch relatively is for which side switch.Obviously, in this method, the push action of each side switch is mutual exclusion, can not realize side switch connection by.4. key definitely " pressure differential ".Press and input exactly that the dynamics of pressing is poor whether reaches default standard value and judge whether the user supresses certain side switch according to the gripping of each side switch oneself.Press dynamics therefore must for the default initial gripping naturally of each side switch; Secondly also to provide to the user and revise the systems approach that initial natural grips the dynamics of pressing, so that the user obtains better experience.In these four kinds of methods, it is the best approach that key is pressed.
Three, one-handed keyboard.Side switch also can be together with Master Keyboard be incorporated into.Fig. 5 (22) and (23) (24) have provided respectively 3 kinds of one-handed keyboard schemes, for the user of uncomfortable bimanualness or impotentia bimanualness provides convenience.At this time, note giving highlighted demonstration or change color to show, in order to avoid user's fascination when the keys such as activation Fvrt, Eng, Num, Eng/Num, Shift, Ctrl and Alt.Ctrl and Alt key when prompt operation is completed, recover not press state automatically.The key of other mutex relations is also automatically to recover not press state, as Fvrt, Eng, the Num in Fig. 5 (22) and (23).Remaining actuation of keys by the user realizes that state switches as the Eng/Num key in shift key and (24).(23) SP, Enter, BS key of disappearance are arranged on numeral and punctuation mark interface in (24), for saving space, and diagram no longer.This singlehanded scheme also can be mixed with the both hands scheme of aforementioned main flow and be taken use.When being hold by one hand, what enable is one-handed keyboard, is operated by one hand.During hands grasping, left hand activates side switch, enables simultaneously the both hands Master Keyboard, is operated by the right hand.The maximum difference of the QWERT keyboard of this one-handed keyboard and current trend is that the bond number of (one) every row is limited, and 6 the bests also can selected for 5,4 in some cases.Therefore the singly-bound of mobile phone can be sufficiently large, and the every row of QWERT keyboard can reach at most 10, and it is little impossible that singly-bound is done on mobile phone; (2) and the QWERT keyboard on flat board, key is to do very greatly, but keyboard spreads too widely, inadaptablely singlehandedly refers to operation simultaneously more, is a large problem because user's finger is accurately located button on the card of wide cut; (3) no matter be mobile phone or flat board, the QWERT keyboard is only suitable for one hand and singly refers to operation, and this one-handed keyboard not only can singly refer to operation by one hand, and can singlehandedly refer to operation simultaneously realize the high speed touch system more.(4) even singly referring to operation, one hand also greatly improved feel.Generally recommendation one-handed keyboard not, should preferentially use the Double hand operating keyboard scheme in this programme.
Four, analog mouse.The 3 parallel schemes of cover are arranged.(1), side switch and touch-control finger are combined analog mouse.Analog mouse can be served as with forefinger or middle finger, as Figure 11 (71).To when screen, in the upper left corner of finger, an analog mouse cursor such as Figure 11 (66) appear when finger touch.When touch-control referred to leave touch-screen, the analog mouse cursor was temporarily hidden, and giving the synchronous sensation of user, this and PC mouse are somewhat different.Be left mouse button, right mouse button, middle button of mouse if Num, Fvrt and Eng are redefined respectively and reuse, a complete analog mouse scheme has just been completed.At this moment also can be write respectively Num, Fvrt and Eng as NumL (left), FvrtR (right) and EngM (middle).Although side switch is redefined, reuse, owing to can not carrying out simultaneously the operation of keyboard input operation and analog mouse, so can not cause obscuring in use (and can accomplish that technically keyboard and analog mouse shield mutually).Relative position due to analog mouse cursor and touch-control between referring to is fixed.When touch-control refers to move on to the right side of screen and bottom, will form about half finger beam, the mouse blind area that can't simulate is as Figure 11 (68).(2), for in the situation that there is no that side switch is auxiliary also can analog mouse, can utilize multipoint-touch-technology, the finger (can be also the finger of another hand) that the analog mouse touch-control is referred to the left side is defined as left mouse button, the finger on right side (can be also the finger of another hand) is defined as right mouse button, as Figure 11 (69) and (70), two fingers (as forefinger and the middle finger) rolling operation that is middle button of mouse with the action definition of ski-running screen in the same way is realized simulation fully to mouse.When not having side switch to assist with full finger analog mouse, about one and half finger beams the finger right button analog mouse blind area shown in Figure 11 (72) can appear.Comprehensive simulation mouse blind area and finger right button analog mouse blind area, large appointment forms two zones that are not suitable for analog mouse in right side and the bottom of display screen.Generally can ignore because the part of bottom is less, will form an only zone of suitable conventional touch screen operation on the right side.We can perhaps not have auxiliary region such as Figure 11 (73) of user interaction elements this zone as toolbar area such as Figure 11 (74) of being fit to conventional touch screen operation, perhaps are integrated as static viewing area and analog mouse district, left side.(3) equipment of writing pen is arranged, under the cooperation of side switch, also can work as mouse pointer use, analog mouse.Because operating in some application and some operation, conventional touch screen has clear superiority, so the analog mouse scheme in this programme, can not replace conventional touch screen operation scheme fully.Will decide according to concrete application a user interface is single employing analog mouse scheme, or the conventional touch screen operation scheme of single employing, also or the mixed two schemes of taking.In general, the suitable use analog mouse in editing area and service area is as shown in Figure 11 (67).The suitable conventional touch screen operation of toolbar area.
Five, keyboard using method.Take the flat board shown in Fig. 6 (25) as example, Master Keyboard is the soft keyboard that is combined on touch-screen, adopts the 6*5 keyboard array, can slide on screen according to user's needs.Everyrow 6 keys of Master Keyboard, wherein 4 middle keys are operated by forefinger, middle finger, the third finger and the little finger of toe of the right hand respectively.The first key on every row left side is operated to left dislocation by right hand forefinger, and last key of the right is operated by the displacement to the right of right hand little finger of toe.Side switch has 6 keys, is respectively Ctrl, Fvrt, Shift, Num, Eng and Alt, is positioned at dull and stereotyped right side.Fvrt, Shift, Num and Eng are operated by left index finger, middle finger, the third finger and little finger of toe respectively.Ctrl is operated to top offset by the forefinger of left hand, and Alt is operated to bottom offset by the little finger of toe of left hand.Num wherein, Fvrt and Eng also distinguish left button, right button and the middle key of corresponding analog mouse, to make supporting movement to cut off enemy the operation at analog mouse function user interface.Mother tongue is Chinese.When user interface enters editing mode or user when pressing the operating key such as Ctrl, Alt, show Master Keyboard.When finishing editor, perhaps the user touches on time at non-editing area, and the user closes Master Keyboard when completing the shortcut operation or pressing the Alt+Enter Macintosh.
(1) when the user presses the Fvrt key, the Chinese phonetic alphabet Master Keyboard layout as shown in Fig. 3 (13) can appear, at this moment can carry out the input (also presenting this interface when Master Keyboard just activates) of the Chinese phonetic alphabet.(2) when the user then presses shift key, the interface as shown in Fig. 3 (15) can appear, show relevant Chinese punctuation interface.At this moment can carry out the input of Chinese punctuation.If press More key wherein, will eject the Chinese punctuation mark Expansion Interface as shown in Fig. 3 (16), input complete, press return key Rtn and return to an interface 3 (15) (if the symbol of nested secondary inputting interface is mutual exclusion, in the time of namely once at most only can inputting a character in same interface, can return to an interface when input is complete, and need not to press again the Rtn key).(3) when the user presses Eng, eject the English lower case interface shown in Fig. 3 (13).Input English lower case for the user.(4) when the user presses Eng and Shift simultaneously, eject the English capitalization interface shown in Fig. 3 (14), for user's input.(5) when the user presses Num, eject numerical key shown in Fig. 4 (17), english punctuation mark key interface, for user's input.
(6) when the user presses Num and Shift simultaneously, eject the interface shown in Fig. 4 (18), for user's input.If the user presses the Date key on Fig. 4 (18) interface, namely eject the current date menu of China and foreign countries' different-format and select input for the user, wherein comprise one and cancel menu item, abandon returning for the user.Eject the Greece's lowercase interface shown in (19) during Greek on pressing Fig. 4 (18) interface.When the Math in pressing (18) or Order key, eject corresponding mathematic sign or digital number interface.For simplicity, corresponding nested secondary inputting interface does not provide concrete diagram and explanation.More key on this interface is for operating system or more language is inputted in the input method design and symbol provides possibility, can eject a menu when pressing, and selects for the user.Cstm key on this interface, for the terminal use of equipment voluntarily the setting inputting interface corresponding with Cstm and Cstm+Shift provide may.Equipment vendors or input method developer should provide the method for being correlated with and arranging to the terminal use.In general terminal use's content that can arrange be multiple pattern, can be the data blocks such as character, character string, picture, audio frequency, video, perhaps shortcut command.In case arrange successfully, just can input relevant content as above-mentioned other control combinations.
(7) under editing mode, enable the same on the method for Ctrl and Alt and they and other key combinations and PC keyboard.Be used for copying as Ctrl+C etc.(8) under non-editing mode, when pressing Ctrl and/or Alt key, English lower case keyboard layout appears in acquiescence, if during again with Shift and the combination of other side switch, can eject corresponding interface, for user's input command, be similar to the functions of shortcut key on the PC keyboard.(9) input of full-shape English number and punctuate.(Fvrt+Eng), (Fvrt+Eng)+Shift, (Fvrt+Num), (Fvrt+Num)+Shift is the input of corresponding full-shape English alphabet, whole-angle figure and full-shape english punctuation mark respectively.Bracket wherein represents that two keys press simultaneously, and can not there be other actuation of keys and input operation the centre.(10) during the analog mouse district action on touch-screen, coordinate Num, Fvrt, Eng just can realize single hit and dblclick, right click and rolling operation and the hovertip of mouse when finger.Can certainly be simultaneously with full finger or writing pen analog mouse.
Six, mobile phone applicating example.Fig. 2 has provided respectively 4 kinds of mobile phones of using this programme.(1), Fig. 2 (5) is the touch screen soft-keyboard bar phone.The shift key of this mobile phone is positioned at the mobile phone top left hand as (9).Other side switch be Ctrl, Eng, Num and Alt as 4 keys such as (8), be positioned at the right side of mobile phone.The user that this mobile phone is fit to country of English Department uses.In order to make singly-bound sufficiently large, reduced the limit key of both sides as (6).Also be carved with the keyboard telltale mark as (7) in the both sides of mobile phone.(2), Fig. 2 (10) is the hard manual bar phone, the Lower Half of mobile phone is hard manual, the first half is touch-screen.(3), Fig. 2 (11) is slide phone.Soft keyboard and hard manual two cover Master Keyboards coexist.When mobile phone does not slip off, input with soft keyboard; After mobile phone slips off, input with hard manual, the character that does not have on hard manual is when pressing the keys such as More, Greek, Math, Order, Date, Cstm and enable nested secondary inputting interface as the user, corresponding inputting interface should be mapped on touch-screen (no matter be mobile phone or flat board, as long as hard manual is arranged, hard manual and soft keyboard enable order and using method is all carried out like this, the below repeats no more).(4), Fig. 2 (12) is for renovating the roller blind mobile phone.Compare with slide phone, just the combination of keyboard and display screen is different.Also have in addition (five), renovate the single screen mobile phone, (six), renovate Dual-band Handy Phone all are similar to and renovate the roller blind mobile phone, repeat no more.Above these mobile phone patterns are also present popular mobile phone patterns on the market.If give full play to the performance of this programme, slide phone is optimal selection.Because slide phone has been taken into account the feel of hard manual and the ease for use of touch-screen.
Seven, dull and stereotyped applicating example.(1), Fig. 6 (25) (26) (271) is that 3 kinds of side switch right lateral position touch screen soft-keyboards are dull and stereotyped, main side switch is positioned at dull and stereotyped right side.A, (25) shift key and Ctrl, Fvrt, Eng, Num and Alt key completely are incorporated into the right side, there is no Ext key and 2Hands key.B, (26) shift key are positioned at right side, dull and stereotyped top, and other side switch such as Fig. 1 (4) are positioned at dull and stereotyped right side, do not establish the 2Hands key.C, (27-1) shift key and (27-2) the 2Hands key mapping is in right side, dull and stereotyped back, other side switch such as Fig. 1 (4) are positioned at dull and stereotyped right side.(2), Fig. 6 (28-1) is that side switch left lateral position touch screen soft-keyboard is dull and stereotyped.Shift key is positioned at the dull and stereotyped positive upper left corner (28-1).The 2Hands key mapping is in dull and stereotyped left side (28-2).Other side switch layouts are positioned at left side, dull and stereotyped back as figure (28-3).(3), Fig. 7 (30-1) is (30-4) dull and stereotyped for the hard manual that two cover side switch are arranged.Side switch lays respectively at dull and stereotyped right side (30-3) and left side, back (30-5).When a cover side switch activation is enabled, shield another set of side switch, so as not to obscuring.Hard manual can pull out and advance as drawer.Hard manual do not include in the keyboard storehouse by the used time.This flat board grips the position for the user provides 2 side switch.(4), Fig. 7 (31-1) is (31-3) also that hard manual is dull and stereotyped, but 4 cover side switch arranged, and lays respectively at left side (31-4), the right side, left side, back and right side, back (31-2), this 4 cover side switch is also mutually to shield.This design left and right handedness is general.The side switch of two kinds of hard manual flat boards that Fig. 7 provides is all realized by tablet.Being connected with slide phone between hard manual and flat board is similar, is ripe technology, therefore repeat no more.
(5), folding hard manual is dull and stereotyped.2 kinds of different folding hard manuals have been provided dull and stereotyped.A, Fig. 8 vertically grip folding hard manual flat board.Fig. 8 (41-A) is the same with (41-B), and just (41-B) is with rear Cang Gai.Fig. 8 (48-1) hard manual main body is connected with (42) dull and stereotyped main body by (47-1) keyboard slide bar, (49) keyboard rotating shaft, (45) keyboard guide rail.Be provided with (50) keyboard rotating shaft limited pit on the top of (49) keyboard rotating shaft.When this limited pit respectively with flat board on (44) keyboard limit spring decorative pearl on top of an official cap (there is the ball of a dome-type on the spring top) when coordinating, keyboard is in respectively (39) and extracts out and wait for user's input state and (41-B) take in the warehouse entry state.(49) to be subjected to the head of controlled keyboard rotating shaft (Fig. 8 the lower right corner its enlarged drawing is arranged) be square round type for circumference head.When it slides into head when falling in the screens of (43) keyboard rotating shaft, be limited can not by (due to the head of (47-1) keyboard slide bar through rounding become taper can by), (50) rotating shaft limited pit coordinates with (46) keyboard rotating shaft limit spring decorative pearl on top of an official cap simultaneously, just can fold back when flat bracket use as (40).In order to make flat board erect the large inclination degree of freedom of Shi Yougeng, when offering keyboard slide bar guide channel (47-2) in position corresponding to both sides, keyboard storehouse keyboard slide bars (47-1) and making keyboard folding, the keyboard slide bar is not by (also can offer keyboard slide bar guide channel, come off from the undesirable keyboard of guide channel generation during so as not to the pull keyboard).(49) the keyboard rotating shaft by the mechanism controls of spring-like, can't rotate freely under the Action of Gravity Field of platysome nature, but can rotate under user's reinforcing effect, is therefore the rotating shaft of limitation of activity.(53-1) when the writing pen of support bar is pulled out, coordinate with keyboard and just can change a direction flat board is vertically erected, as (41-A), writing pen can also coordinate with side switch except writing function and uses when mouse pointer.Writing pen can be made the structure that can stretch, to adapt to the space that holds writing pen limited on hard manual.Limited location hole on writing pen coordinates with the limit spring decorative pearl on top of an official cap of keyboard as (53-3) of Fig. 9 first half to prevent being free to slide of writing pen.Limited location spring top bead guide channel (53-2) on writing pen is used for allowing writing pen in uncontrolled position, passes through smoothly, in order to avoid puckery sense is arranged during user's pull writing pen.Above position-limit mechanism and rotating shaft controlling organization also can be realized by magnet.Hard manual is positioned at dull and stereotyped vertically right side.The front of hard manual is 6*5 keyboard array (48-2).Side switch is positioned at the outside (48-3) of hard manual, realizes (if hard manual is dynamically to show, can realizes easily that the left and right handedness is general, but consider various factors, what adopt is non-dynamic demonstration hard manual) here with touch sensing board.B, Fig. 9 Lower Half (54-1) are laterally to grip folding hard manual flat board.Hard manual (54-2) is positioned at right side, dull and stereotyped bottom, side switch (54-3) and is positioned at dull and stereotyped main body right side.The oval writing pen that is connected to keyboard in the writing pen (54-4) of support bar and aforementioned (53-1) is different, is that the cross section is the writing pen that is external in keyboard of round rectangle, for concrete product design provides another possibility.The trapezoidal rails (54-6) that (54-4) is connected with keyboard by the trapezoidal guide channel (54-7) on writing pen between writing pen and keyboard is connected.Control (referring to aforementioned (53-1) (53-2) (53-3)) by position-limit mechanism between guide channel and guide rail.(54-5) be the dull and stereotyped state that laterally erects.Other the same with the folding hard manual of vertical gripping repeats no more.
(6), the upset hard manual is dull and stereotyped.It is dull and stereotyped that Figure 10 has provided 2 kinds of upset hard manuals.Be (55-1) that transparent upset hard manual is dull and stereotyped.Be (57-1) that common upset hard manual is dull and stereotyped.Hard manual is by realizing physics, electrical connection between (64) band and dull and stereotyped main body.When being turned on the touch-screen of front, hard manual just is in state to be entered as (55-1) and (57-1).When hard manual is turned over when folding, (65) (60-4) support limited pit of the keyboard fixing spring decorative pearl on top of an official cap and both sides, keyboard storehouse (as its name suggests, also when support limited pit use) coordinates and just hard manual can be taken in the keyboard storehouse as (59).(64) band is made by the sturdy material of soft fold resistant, is staggered.The two ends of each band are connected with dull and stereotyped with hard manual respectively.(60-1) support is connected with (62) hard manual by rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft of support can be controlled rotating mechanism, can not be also, accept or reject according to concrete conditions such as the thickness of keyboard and frame sizes thereof.The equidistant multirow support limited pit (60-4) of arranging is in pairs arranged in the both sides, keyboard storehouse at dull and stereotyped main body back.This paired limited pit be used for when hard manual folds back be positioned at hard manual on (60-2) support limit spring decorative pearl on top of an official cap of pull-up cantilever tip both sides coordinate, stably prop flat board as (58).Can also do the miniature fin (60-3) parallel with (60-1) cantilever tip stringer in the place outside storehouse, dull and stereotyped back, coordinate with fin for the support stringer and prop flat board, the larger inclination degree of freedom can be arranged when flat board is erected.(61) be the writing pen that to work as support bar, when pulling out, can change a direction to flat board with hard manual, support assorted and erect (referring to Fig. 8 (41-A)).Limited location matching mechanism between writing pen and hard manual (referring to Fig. 9 (53-1) (53-2) (53-3)) prevents that the free landing of writing pen from getting loose.If hard manual thickness is limited, just can't make the good writing pen of feel, at this time (61) can be degenerated to a pure support bar, even can not want this support bar, accept or reject as the case may be.If writing pen must also can be placed on the hard manual front end near the place of band.Stablize both sides relation by magnet absorption (56) when hard manual is turned to the front and between flat board.(60-1) support draws in also to be fixed on hard manual by magnet absorption when folding and (also can realize by snap device).(55-2) be transparent upset hard manual, its effect is to transmit the mechanics of user key-press and the information such as electric to the soft keyboard on dull and stereotyped touch screen below keyboard, and the key lid of its each key is transparent.Keyboard should be good by leading power, conduct electricity very well or transmit other key informations, and the material of good hand touch is made.The feel optimization tool that transparent upset hard manual is dull and stereotyped soft keyboard in essence.(57-2) be the logical hard manual of general upset.The electrical connection of hard manual and dull and stereotyped main body realizes by the micro wiring on band, also can realize by wireless connections.Do not portray the character to be entered dynamic mapping district (57-3) (character of certainly having portrayed on hard manual also can be mapped to here) that is mapped to (57-2) left side at the character to be entered on hard manual and nested secondary inputting interface.Above-mentioned two kinds of flat boards, side switch all is positioned at dull and stereotyped right side, and keyboard is positioned at the position of keeping right in dull and stereotyped bottom, is to meet considering of ergonomics.The upset hard manual has a total benefit, and that is exactly that the hardkey disk body can be done thicklyer than keyboard storehouse.When hard manual is folding when drawing in, can insert in the keyboard storehouse (following movable hard manual also has similar benefit) through suitable compression.Transparent upset hard manual flat board is the best flat board of realizing this key mouse scheme.Because transparent upset hard manual is dull and stereotyped, when having the hard manual advantage, the space that takies can be minimum, realizes that especially cost and technical difficulty are very low.Transparent upset hard manual also is fit to have living space and does the cell phone apparatus in hard manual storehouse.
(7) movable hard manual is dull and stereotyped.Be exactly that the hardkey disk body separates with flat board, do not have between the two guide rail, rotating shaft, band such be fixedly connected with mechanism.Side switch still is positioned at dull and stereotyped right side.During use, hard manual is placed on the dull and stereotyped lower right corner, leans on magnetic-adsorption on flat board.Electrical connection between nontransparent hard manual and flat board realizes by elastic conductive contact array or wireless technology.Movable hard manual flat board has been equivalent to attach the soft keyboard flat board of a hard manual.The benefit of movable hard manual is: 1. for small size dull and stereotyped when dull and stereotyped use when can not rising the space in keyboard storehouse better.2. also be fit to use for ultra-thin panel.3. be convenient to the left and right handedness general.If hard manual is transparent, although perhaps hard manual is opaque by being wirelessly connected to flat board, and side switch is all especially true when realizing by Trackpad.4. keyboard can suitably compress, and adsorbs and/or is stuck in the dull and stereotyped back that the keyboard storehouse can be set reluctantly.If 5. manufacturer produces mobile phone and flat board simultaneously, can accomplish two kinds of use of a keyboard.Especially transparent movable hard manual.Certainly, the soft keyboard bar phone also is fit to the hard manual of independent configuration activities very much, at this moment is equivalent to the soft keyboard bar phone and has attached a hard manual.In order conveniently to locate and when preventing use activity hard manual, unnecessary slip to occur, also can be on the frame of equipment and the back side of hard manual minute protrusions and the pit of a plurality of pairings are set, assist fixedly hard manual of magnet.The best implementation of movable hard manual is transparent movable hard manual.
Eight, handheld keyboard.This key mouse scheme not only can be combined with handheld digital device well, and can independently grow up to be a useful person.Figure 12 has provided the handheld keyboard of 3 kinds of patterns and has provided the standard keyboard layout (75) of hard manual.(1), (76-1) holds keyboard for straight wrench.Lower Half is hard manual.The first half is (76-2) Trackpad, and function class is used for the motion of the method mouse beacon of this key of use mouse scheme like the Trackpad of notebook.(2), upset handheld keyboard (77).Formed by the transparent hard manual of upset and the touch-screen under it.When keyboard closes, when the keyboard use, when keyboard opens, when the Trackpad use of mouse beacon.It realizes that principle can be dull and stereotyped with reference to the transparent upset hard manual of Figure 10.The largest benefit of this handheld keyboard is exactly that function is fully independent, need not to accept input equipment row mapping other character input interfaces and nested secondary inputting interface except (75) again.(3), two-sided handheld keyboard (79-1).Formed by front hard manual and back Trackpad (79-6).The left and right sides of keyboard is furnished with two cover side switch as (79-2) and (79-3), is respectively used to coordinate with keyboard and Trackpad.When the side switch of right side supervisory keyboard activates, activate keyboard, shielding left side side switch and Trackpad; When keyboard laterally turns, when the side switch in the left side (at this moment in fact having become the right side) of control Trackpad activates, activate Trackpad, shield keyboard and right side side switch.The bottom of this keyboard is provided with left-handed person key (79-5), can realize left and right handedness general (aforesaid upset handheld keyboard also can be done like this, because side switch and soft keyboard can change to correct layout according to the variation in keyboard gravity orientation).Can be connected by wired connection such as USB between handheld keyboard and the equipment of accepting input, also can be by wireless connections such as Bluetooth technology.If by wireless connections, be provided with battery compartment as (79-4) at bottom and/or the top of handheld keyboard.Be (79-7) dull and stereotyped and mobile phone fixed hook, be positioned at the top of keyboard and the right side of bottom.For the equipment that there is no hard manual provides convenience.As long as hook is affiliated on mobile phone and dull and stereotyped right side, left-handed is lived, and just can work as mobile phone and use with dull and stereotyped hard manual.Figure 12 (79-7) hook is expanded view.In used time not, should screw into bottom and top " Tibetan " of handheld keyboard.Hook should be made with the flexible material that some strength is arranged, and hook can suitably be out of shape like this, can reach matched with the equipment of different sides profile.If do not fear redundancy, can also the one same hook of cover be set at the top of keyboard and the left side of bottom, the left and right handedness that can realize like this is general.Aforesaid upset handheld keyboard is applicable this hook technology also.Handheld keyboard can also replace the PC keyboard and be used in a lot of occasions, as Long-distance Control PC, and home control intelligent television etc.
Nine, the handheld keyboard of handheld digital device.Adopt the handheld digital device of this key mouse scheme to transform into handheld keyboard under the assistance of software and hardware.Take the keyboard of handheld digital device as the basis, the touch-screen of handheld digital device or part touch-screen are as the Trackpad of handheld keyboard, and by wired or wireless mode handheld digital device with accept input equipment and couple together, just form the easy-to-use handheld keyboard of a convenience.The most suitable handheld keyboard of slide phone.
Ten, cell phone keyboard cover.In order to make soft keyboard bar phone user also can realize the benefit of hard manual.Figure 13 has provided two cell phone keyboard cover.(82) and (84) be respectively the slide phone key cover and renovate roller blind cell phone keyboard cover.Electrical connection between mobile phone and key cover both can be by wireless connections as by Bluetooth technology, also can be by wired connection as connecting by the miniUSB interface on mobile phone.If connect by miniUSB, the miniUSB joint on key cover can be the flexible cord joint, can be also that the hard joint fixed is as (85).MiniUSB joint on key cover extends out in the bottom of keyboard cutting ferrule or the side forms the miniUSB interface as (86), for cell-phone charging or with other digital device swap datas.The line stretcher of miniUSB joint is partly used (83) miniUSB to connect shutter and is blocked.MiniUSB interface on cutting ferrule can arrange office, when outside miniUSB joint inserts, and the keyboard that shield keyboard puts.Can certainly not do like this, and allow keyboard on key cover and external equipment share simultaneously same miniUSB interface on mobile phone.During not in the bottom and in other sides, the position of (85) miniUSB permanent joint or flexible cord miniUSB joint also should adjust accordingly when the miniUSB interface on mobile phone.(84) renovate roller blind cell phone keyboard cover removal roller blind function and just become the clamshell phone key cover.In the cell phone keyboard cover of these all patterns, preferred slide phone key cover.
Conclusion: this key mouse scheme standard hard manual interface such as Figure 12 (75), it is the English lower case interface that the standard soft keyboard decomposes interface side switch Eng as corresponding in Fig. 3 (13), Fig. 3 (14) respective side key combination Eng+Shift is the English capitalization interface, the corresponding side switch Num of Fig. 4 (17) is numeral and english punctuation mark interface, and Fig. 4 (18) respective side key combination Num+Shift is the english punctuation mark interface.Standard side switch layout such as Fig. 6 (25) be 6 keys such as Ctrl, Fvrt, Shift, Num, Eng and Alt altogether.Wherein Fvrt is used for input user's mother tongue or the second language that input is commonly used as the mother tongue user take English.The standard touch-control of analog mouse refers to be forefinger or middle finger, is left mouse button at the finger of its left side touch screen, is right mouse button at the finger of its right side touch screen, two fingers in the same way with the sliding screen operation of ski-running screen action for middle button of mouse.Simultaneously, side switch Num, Fvrt and Eng are redefined and reuse left button, right button and middle key into analog mouse, add writing pen, analog mouse just has the modeling scheme of 3 cover slitless connections.The one-handed keyboard scheme of standard is as shown in Fig. 5 (22).Be exactly more than that this key mouse scheme is contributed standard or agreement to the IT world.
