(2)背景技术(2) Background technology

由于电脑技术及数字化多媒体技术的不断研发，使得电脑装置广泛应用于例如办公室公务、家庭娱乐、商业场合等许多应用领域中。而在可携式多媒体技术方面，目前已广泛将多媒体播放或数字音乐播放的功能及设备整合于一笔记型电脑中，以使使用者得经由该笔记型电脑观赏多媒体影音及聆听数字音乐的播放。Due to continuous research and development of computer technology and digital multimedia technology, computer devices are widely used in many application fields such as office work, home entertainment, and commercial occasions. In terms of portable multimedia technology, the functions and equipment of multimedia playback or digital music playback have been widely integrated into a notebook computer, so that users can watch multimedia audio and video and listen to digital music playback through the notebook computer. .

然而，在讲求简易操作及更轻薄短小的一般消费者需求的下，以笔记型电脑来执行数字音乐播放或多媒体影音播放的功能，仍有其不便的处，故市面上乃有可携式媒体播放器或数字音乐播放器的产品问市。通过该可携式媒体播放器或数字音乐播放器的多媒体及数字音乐播放功能、以及微型储存装置中所储存的媒体数据，可使使用者随时随地执行多媒体影音或数字音乐的播放。However, under the demand of general consumers who emphasize easy operation and lighter, thinner and smaller size, it is still inconvenient to use a notebook computer to perform the functions of digital music playback or multimedia audio-visual playback, so there are portable media on the market. player or digital music player on the market. Through the multimedia and digital music playing function of the portable media player or digital music player, and the media data stored in the micro-storage device, users can play multimedia audio-visual or digital music anytime and anywhere.

(3)发明内容(3) Contents of the invention

本发明所欲解决的技术问题：The technical problem to be solved by the present invention:

目前市售的可携式媒体播放器或数字音乐播放器，虽已提供使用者随时随地简便地观赏多媒体影音及聆听数字音乐的播放，但就操作结构的设计方面，其大都是沿用传统按键操作面板的结构设计，亦即其通常是在该播放器的壳体上开设数个镂空区域，再以凸伸出面板的按键开关嵌置在该镂空区域中，以供使用者压按操作。例如在美国新式样专利第D469109S号及第D472245S号专利前案中，其即系在播放器的装置壳体上开设数个环绕的镂空区域，再以凸伸出面板的按键开关嵌置在该镂空区域，以供使用者压按操作。Although currently available portable media players or digital music players on the market have provided users with easy access to multimedia video and audio and digital music playback anytime, anywhere, most of them follow the traditional button operation in terms of the design of the operating structure. The structural design of the panel, that is, it usually provides several hollow areas on the casing of the player, and then the key switches protruding from the panel are embedded in the hollow areas for the user to press and operate. For example, in the U.S. new style patent No. D469109S and No. D472245S patents, it is to open several surrounding hollow areas on the device casing of the player, and then embed the key switches protruding from the panel. Hollow area for users to press and operate.

在前述的传统按键操作面板的结构设计中，其必须在按键开关的对应位置处，预先开设出镂空区域，方能对准嵌置按键开关。此一结构若使用在一般工业电器产品中时，尚可符合需求，但使用在简求轻薄短小的可携式媒体播放器或数字音乐播放器时，其要求的机构尺寸精度需极为严格，一旦在元件位置尺寸的设计、元件组装、使用者的操作方式等任一个因素，即可能影响到产品的良率及品质。In the structural design of the aforementioned traditional key operation panel, it is necessary to pre-open a hollow area at the corresponding position of the key switch so as to align with the embedded key switch. If this structure is used in general industrial electrical products, it can still meet the requirements, but when it is used in portable media players or digital music players that are simple, thin, light and small, the required dimensional accuracy of the mechanism must be extremely strict. Any factor such as the design of component position and size, component assembly, and user operation methods may affect the yield and quality of the product.

在市售的许多类似可携式电器产品的设计中，即会经常看到在各个按键开关与镂空区域之间形成不同间隙、凸伸高度不一、顶面歪斜的状况。In the designs of many similar portable electrical products on the market, it is often seen that different gaps are formed between each key switch and the hollow area, protrusion heights are different, and the top surface is skewed.

传统的按键操作面板的结构设计中，纵使按键开关与镂空区域间并无上列的问题，但由于可携式媒体播放器或数字音乐播放器的使用场合经常会有环境湿气渗入、水份泼及、灰尘沾附等影响，故使得此类的按键结构设计经常会有误动作、按键失效、损坏的困扰。In the structural design of the traditional key operation panel, even though there are no above-mentioned problems between the key switch and the hollow area, due to the use of portable media players or digital music players, there is often environmental moisture infiltration, moisture Influenced by splashing, dust adhesion, etc., this type of key structure design often suffers from misoperation, key failure, and damage.

缘此，本发明的主要目的即是提供一种数字影音播放装置的结构设计，其在该数字影音播放装置的表面结合有一薄膜覆层，该薄膜覆层具有一圆滑隆起外环区域及一触控内环区域，以供使用者通过该薄膜覆层而可压按该承置板的压按区及操作该触控板。Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a structural design of a digital audio-visual playback device, which is combined with a film coating on the surface of the digital audio-visual playback device. The thin film coating has a round and smooth raised outer ring area and a touch The control inner ring area is used for the user to press the pressing area of the supporting board and operate the touch panel through the film coating.

本发明的次一目的是提供一种数字影音播放装置的操作面板结构设计，其系采用连续波浪状的起伏凹凸结构形成该数字影音播放装置的操作面板，以使整个操作面板的表面具有操作圆滑顺手的特性。The next object of the present invention is to provide a structural design of the operation panel of a digital audio-visual player, which uses a continuous wave-shaped undulating concave-convex structure to form the operation panel of the digital audio-visual player, so that the surface of the entire operation panel has smooth operation Handy features.

本发明的次一目的是提供一种具有较佳隔绝效果的数字影音播放装置的操作面板，其在该数字影音播放装置的装置壳体上设有一薄膜覆层，通过该薄膜覆层，可使该数字影音播放装置内部的按键单元及相关组件与外界形成较佳的隔绝效果。Another object of the present invention is to provide an operation panel of a digital audio-visual playback device with a better insulation effect, which is provided with a film coating on the device housing of the digital audio-visual playback device, through which the film coating can make the The button unit and related components inside the digital audio-visual playback device form a better isolation effect from the outside world.
