請參考圖2，舉例而言，對應資料41c包括撓性板20之特定形狀201c與電子裝置1之特定功能模式202c之間的對應關係。在本發明之一實施例中，例如，當撓性板20的特定形狀被偵測為平面形狀時，根據對應資料41c，電子裝置1執行之特定功能模式為電視，也就是此時電子裝置1的功能是電視。依據圖2的對應資料41c，當撓性板20的特定形狀被偵測為U型時，電子裝置1執行之特定功能模式為手機，也就是此時電子裝置1的功能是手機。又或者，依據圖2的對應資料41c，當撓性板20的特定形狀被偵測為弧形時，電子裝置1執行之特定功能模式為鍵盤，也就是此時電子裝置1的功能是鍵盤。Referring to FIG. 2, for example, the corresponding material 41c includes a correspondence between the specific shape 201c of the flexible board 20 and the specific functional mode 202c of the electronic device 1. In an embodiment of the present invention, for example, when the specific shape of the flexible board 20 is detected as a planar shape, according to the corresponding data 41c, the specific functional mode performed by the electronic device 1 is a television, that is, the electronic device 1 at this time. The function is TV. According to the corresponding data 41c of FIG. 2, when the specific shape of the flexible board 20 is detected as a U-shape, the specific function mode performed by the electronic device 1 is a mobile phone, that is, the function of the electronic device 1 at this time is a mobile phone. Alternatively, according to the corresponding data 41c of FIG. 2, when the specific shape of the flexible board 20 is detected as an arc shape, the specific function mode performed by the electronic device 1 is a keyboard, that is, the function of the electronic device 1 at this time is a keyboard.
在本發明之一實施例中，當電子裝置1之撓性板20在特定形狀時，也就是電子裝置1執行特定功能模式時，處理器50依據對應資料41c，更可進一步地產生並輸出不同的對應訊號(以設定不同的輸出訊號值)。惟須注意的是，對應訊號無須基於各特定功能模式而產生，而是根據撓性板20之撓曲形狀或是電子裝置1本身所包含的其他裝置(例如震動裝置61、擴音裝置62、影像擷取裝置63或聲音輸入裝置64)而產生。In an embodiment of the present invention, when the flexible board 20 of the electronic device 1 is in a specific shape, that is, when the electronic device 1 performs a specific function mode, the processor 50 can further generate and output different according to the corresponding data 41c. Corresponding signal (to set different output signal values). It should be noted that the corresponding signal does not need to be generated based on each specific functional mode, but according to the flexible shape of the flexible board 20 or other devices included in the electronic device 1 itself (for example, the vibration device 61, the sound amplification device 62, The image capturing device 63 or the sound input device 64) is generated.
舉例來說，當電子裝置1執行之特定功能模式為電視或手機時(如上所述U型為手機；平面形狀為電視)，各設定值(依據對應訊號)皆有不同的設定值。例如，顯示輸出設定值之不同對應，三原色值(RGB gain value)在電視模式時為default，在手機模式時為default+10；補償值(offset value)在電視模式時為default，在手機模式時為default-5；飽和值(saturation value)在電視模式時為”中”，在手機模式時為”高”；亮度值(lightness value)在電視模式時為”高”，在手機模式時為”中”；對比值(contrast value)在電視模式時為”中”，在手機模式時為”高”；色相值在電視模式時為default，在手機模式時為default+；色溫值(color temperature)在電視模式時為6500k，在手機模式時為9000k；色域值(color gamut)在電視模式時為default，在手機模式時為default；銳利度(sharpness value)在電視模式時為”低”，在手機模式時為”高”；伽碼值(gamma value)在電視模式時為2.2，在手機模式時為2.5；或對比值在電視模式時為16:9，在手機模式時為4:3。For example, when the specific function mode performed by the electronic device 1 is a television or a mobile phone (the U-shaped is a mobile phone as described above; the planar shape is a television), each set value (according to the corresponding signal) has different set values. For example, the display output setting value is different, the RGB gain value is default in the TV mode, the default is +10 in the mobile mode, the offset value is the default in the TV mode, and the phone mode is Is default-5; the saturation value is "medium" in TV mode, "high" in phone mode; "lightness value" is "high" in TV mode and "high" in mobile mode when in mobile mode Medium"; contrast value is "medium" in TV mode and "high" in mobile mode; hue value is default in TV mode, default+ in mobile mode; color temperature is in color mode 6500k in TV mode and 9000k in mobile mode; color gamut is default in TV mode, default in mobile mode; sharpness value is "low" in TV mode, in The phone mode is "high"; the gamma value is 2.2 in TV mode and 2.5 in mobile mode; or the contrast value is 16:9 in TV mode and 4:3 in mobile mode.
再例如，聲音輸出設定值(依據對應訊號)亦可有不同的設定值，喇叭音量在電視模式時為”大”，在手機模式時為”中”；警示音量(鬧鈴)在電視模式時為”關閉(off)”，在手機模式時為”啟動(on)”；開機音量在電視模式時為”大”，在手機模式時為”中”。換言之，只要電子裝置1包括有聲音輸出裝置(例如擴音裝置62)，此時無待撓性板20之撓曲形狀(基於各特定功能模式)，電子裝置1之處理器即可自動產生對應訊號。此外，震動輸出設定值(依據對應訊號)亦可有不同的設定值。例如，震動器在電視模式時為”關閉(off)”，在手機模式時為”啟動(on)”。For another example, the sound output setting value (according to the corresponding signal) may also have different setting values, the speaker volume is "large" in the television mode, "medium" in the mobile phone mode, and the warning volume (alarm) is in the television mode. It is "off", and it is "on" in the phone mode; the "on" volume is "large" in TV mode and "medium" in mobile mode. In other words, as long as the electronic device 1 includes a sound output device (for example, the sound amplifying device 62), and at this time, the flexible shape of the flexible board 20 is not required (based on each specific functional mode), the processor of the electronic device 1 can automatically generate a corresponding Signal. In addition, the vibration output set value (according to the corresponding signal) can also have different settings. For example, the vibrator is "off" in TV mode and "on" in handset mode.
再舉例來說，各輸入設定值(依據對應訊號)亦可有不同的設定值。例如，若輸入設定為攝影裝置(camera)時，在電視模式時為關閉(off)，在手機模式時為啟動(on)。此外聲音輸入設定值(依據對應訊號)亦可有不同的設定值，例如，麥克風裝置在電視模式時為”關閉(off)”，在手機模式時為”啟動(on)”。For another example, each input set value (according to the corresponding signal) may also have different set values. For example, if the input is set to the camera, it is off in the TV mode and on in the phone mode. In addition, the sound input setting value (according to the corresponding signal) may also have different setting values, for example, the microphone device is "off" in the television mode and "on" in the mobile phone mode.
再者，依據不同的輸入方式，亦可有不同的設定值。例如，在觸控系統中，在電視模式時為”全區域觸控”，在手機模式時為”部份區域觸控”。Furthermore, depending on the input method, there may be different settings. For example, in the touch system, "wide area touch" in the TV mode and "partial area touch" in the mobile mode.

The sensing device 30b is disposed on the surface of the flexible board 20b or the inside of the flexible board 20b (as shown in FIG. 6) on average, but the invention is not limited thereto.

如圖7A所示，在本發明之一實施例中，感應裝置301c、感應裝置302c及感應裝置303c係應力感應裝置，且分別設置於撓性板20c上。其中各個應力感應裝置可偵測撓性板20c在撓曲時各個部位之應力值或由任何經應力而產生的電子訊號來代表應力值，以判斷撓性板20c之形狀。惟須注意的是，在本發明之一實施例之應力值，可為任何代表應力之單位(譬如psi或KPa)。As shown in FIG. 7A, in an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing device 301c, the sensing device 302c, and the sensing device 303c are stress sensing devices, and are respectively disposed on the flexible board 20c. Each of the stress sensing devices can detect the stress value of each part of the flexible board 20c during flexing or the electronic signal generated by any stress to represent the stress value to determine the shape of the flexible board 20c. It should be noted that the stress value in one embodiment of the invention may be any unit representing stress (e.g., psi or KPa).
舉例而言，請同時參考圖7D，當所有感應裝置301c-303c所偵測的應力值都是0，則表示撓性板20c為平面形狀。For example, referring to FIG. 7D at the same time, when the stress values detected by all the sensing devices 301c-303c are all 0, it means that the flexible board 20c has a planar shape.
請參考圖7B的例子，當撓性板20c為U形時，感應裝置301c、感應裝置302c及感應裝置303c分別偵測到之應力值係0、-1及0；也就是偵測到應力值為0、-1及0，則代表撓性板20c的特定形狀為U形。Referring to the example of FIG. 7B, when the flexible board 20c is U-shaped, the sensing device 301c, the sensing device 302c, and the sensing device 303c respectively detect the stress values 0, -1, and 0; that is, the stress value is detected. When it is 0, -1 and 0, it means that the specific shape of the flexible board 20c is U-shaped.

如圖8所示，在本發明之一實施例中，撓性板20d包括第一觸控區域21d，第一觸控區域21d係設置在撓性板20d之表面，第一觸控區域21d係提供使用者進行觸控操作。當使用者將撓性板20d撓曲成L形狀時(如圖9所示)，第一觸控區域21d係形成複數第二觸控區域22d，其中各個第二觸控區域22d係可獨立執行觸控功能。例如若將原為平面的撓性板，彎折為L型，則原為一組2D(如圖8所示)的上下右左之觸控設定(圖未示)可因彎折而變更為兩組2D(如圖9所示)的上下內外與上下外內之觸控設定(圖未示)。但本發明不以L形狀為限，任何可將第一觸控區域21d區分成不同區域之形狀皆為本發明之範疇。As shown in FIG. 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, the flexible board 20d includes a first touch area 21d, and the first touch area 21d is disposed on the surface of the flexible board 20d, and the first touch area 21d is Provide users with touch operations. When the user flexes the flexible board 20d into an L shape (as shown in FIG. 9), the first touch area 21d forms a plurality of second touch areas 22d, wherein each of the second touch areas 22d can be independently executed.

以下請參考圖10關於本發明之多功能模式之切換方法之步驟流程圖。Please refer to FIG. 10 for a flow chart of the steps of the multi-mode switching method of the present invention.
首先進行步驟S71：藉由感應裝置偵測電子裝置之撓性板之特定形狀。First, step S71 is performed: detecting a specific shape of the flexible board of the electronic device by the sensing device.
在本發明之一實施例中，感應裝置係應力感應裝置，但本發明不以此為限，舉例來說，光學感應裝置或震動感應裝置亦可為本發明之感應裝置。進一步地來說，應力感應裝置可為壓電式感應裝置、電容式感應裝置、電感式感應裝置或電阻式感應裝置。In an embodiment of the present invention, the sensing device is a stress sensing device, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the optical sensing device or the vibration sensing device may also be the sensing device of the present invention. Further, the stress sensing device may be a piezoelectric sensing device, a capacitive sensing device, an inductive sensing device, or a resistive sensing device.
在本發明之一實施例中，感應裝置偵測電子裝置之特定形狀之方法係由感應裝置偵測獲得應力值來判斷，不同形狀造成之撓曲程度不一樣，因此感應裝置可獲得不同之應力值，藉此可判斷電子裝置之形狀，但本發明不以此偵測方法為限。圖7A-7D已經舉例說明，故不在此贅述。In an embodiment of the present invention, the method for detecting the specific shape of the electronic device by the sensing device is determined by detecting the obtained stress value by the sensing device, and the degree of deflection caused by different shapes is different, so that the sensing device can obtain different stresses. The value can be used to determine the shape of the electronic device, but the invention is not limited to this detection method. 7A-7D have been illustrated, and therefore will not be described here.
在本發明之一實施例中，特定形狀包括平面、U形、弧形、波浪狀、柱狀或具特定夾角之彎折形狀，但本發明不以此為限，任何形狀皆可為本發明之特定形狀。In an embodiment of the present invention, the specific shape includes a plane, a U shape, an arc shape, a wave shape, a column shape, or a bent shape having a specific angle. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any shape may be the present invention. The specific shape.
較佳者，進行步驟S72：偵測電子裝置之特定形狀是否維持超過特定時間。Preferably, step S72 is performed to detect whether the specific shape of the electronic device is maintained for more than a certain time.
若是，則進行步驟S73或S74。If yes, proceed to step S73 or S74.
若否，則重複步驟S71。If no, step S71 is repeated.
在本發明之較佳實施例中，為避免使用者無意撓曲到電子裝置之撓性板，造成電子裝置誤判，因此可設定特定時間，當感應裝置偵測電子裝置之撓性板之特定形狀維持超過特定時間(譬如1-10秒)時，則進行步驟S73。若未超過特定時間，則重複步驟S71，持續偵測電子裝置之撓性板是否形成特定形狀。In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent the user from inadvertently flexing to the flexible board of the electronic device, the electronic device is misjudged, so that a specific time can be set, and when the sensing device detects the specific shape of the flexible board of the electronic device When it is maintained for more than a certain time (for example, 1-10 seconds), step S73 is performed. If the specific time is not exceeded, step S71 is repeated to continuously detect whether the flexible board of the electronic device forms a specific shape.
接著進行步驟S73：比對對應資料以使電子裝置執行相對應特定形狀之特定功能模式。Next, step S73 is performed: comparing the corresponding materials to cause the electronic device to execute a specific functional mode corresponding to the specific shape.
在本發明之一實施例中，對應資料包括特定形狀、應力值及特定功能模式(如圖7A-7D所示)。在本發明之一實施例中，特定功能模式不限於如圖所示，舉例來說，特定功能模式更可包括鍵盤模式、滑鼠模式、數位相框模式或電腦螢幕模式等等，但本發明不以此為限。In one embodiment of the invention, the corresponding material includes a particular shape, stress value, and a particular functional mode (as shown in Figures 7A-7D). In an embodiment of the present invention, the specific function mode is not limited to being as shown in the figure. For example, the specific function mode may further include a keyboard mode, a mouse mode, a digital photo frame mode, or a computer screen mode, etc., but the present invention does not This is limited to this.
步驟S72判斷為「是」，除了進行步驟S73，或亦可進行步驟S74：比對對應資料以使電子裝置執行相對應特定形狀之特定功能模式並變更觸控區域。If the determination in step S72 is YES, in addition to step S73, step S74 may be performed: the corresponding data is compared to cause the electronic device to execute a specific function mode corresponding to the specific shape and change the touch area.
在本發明之一實施例中，撓性板若具有觸控區域，則亦可進行步驟S74。圖8-9已經舉例說明，故不在此贅述。In an embodiment of the present invention, if the flexible board has a touch area, step S74 may be performed. Figures 8-9 have been illustrated, so they are not described here.
本發明之撓性板可以是一獨立之輸入裝置(例如鍵盤)，藉由無線或有線傳輸技術，將訊號傳送至電子裝置(例如電腦主機)。The flexible board of the present invention can be a separate input device (e.g., a keyboard) that transmits signals to an electronic device (e.g., a computer mainframe) by wireless or wired transmission technology.
請參考圖11，利用”撓性”之概念，本發明還提供一種電子裝置11(例如筆記型電腦)，將不可撓曲的剛性板110(例如顯示器)與可撓曲的撓性板20(例如鍵盤)配合感應裝置等其他元件(如圖1所示之實施例)即可達成可饒曲的筆記型電腦。Referring to Figure 11, with the concept of "flexibility", the present invention also provides an electronic device 11 (e.g., a notebook computer) having an inflexible rigid board 110 (e.g., a display) and a flexible flexible board 20 ( For example, the keyboard can be combined with other components such as the sensing device (such as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1) to achieve a flexible notebook computer.
舉例而言，當剛性板110與撓性板20之間的夾角呈90度時，該撓性板20所執行的特定功能模式為英打鍵盤。剛性板110與撓性板20之間的夾角呈135度時，該撓性板20所執行的特定功能模式為中打鍵盤。而當剛性板110與撓性板20之間的夾角呈135度且如圖11所示的右側邊角彎折時，撓性板20所執行的特定功能模式為遊戲鍵盤。For example, when the angle between the rigid board 110 and the flexible board 20 is 90 degrees, the specific functional mode performed by the flexible board 20 is a keyboard. When the angle between the rigid board 110 and the flexible board 20 is 135 degrees, the specific functional mode performed by the flexible board 20 is a middle keyboard. When the angle between the rigid board 110 and the flexible board 20 is 135 degrees and the right side corner shown in FIG. 11 is bent, the specific functional mode performed by the flexible board 20 is a gaming keyboard.
綜上所陳，本發明無論就目的、手段及功效，在在均顯示其迥異於習知技術之特徵，懇請 貴審查委員明察，早日賜准專利，俾嘉惠社會，實感德便。惟應注意的是，雖然本發明已以較佳實施例揭露如上，然其並非用以限定本發明，任何熟習此技藝者，在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內，當可作些許之更動與潤飾，因此本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。To sum up, the present invention, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, shows its distinctive features of the prior art.
