Abstract
Un dispositivo de comunicacion electronico portátil, como por ejemplo un teléfono celular, con una parte de ingreso de datos que comprende un tecladointegral y maleable de uno o más botones (150) para recibir el ingreso de un usuario, un accionador( 158) conectado a ese boton o botones, un interruptor endomo (136) adyacente a cada boton, y un medio de iluminacion de panel de capa delgada (142) y que comprende una aleta (144) entre el accionador y elinterruptor, con un vacío (160) que permitemov erse a la aleta, con un arco (162), para formar esa aleta. El medio de iluminacion es de un materialelectroluminoso, de bajo espesor, que permite identificar la tecla y las marcas traslucidas correspondientes con baja o sin luz ambiente, enforma sel ectiva ycon una distribucion mejorada. El dispositivo de comunicacion posee circuitos de audio para generar un tono audible que comunica al usuario la activacion de unboton. También el interruptor provee una comunicacion táctil al usuariocuando el b oton es oprimido. Provee un medio versátil, de bajo costo y que cumplerequerimientos de mínimo tamano, para suministrar iluminacion de fondo al teclado de ingreso de datos cuando se activa el interruptor de un boton, con unacomunicaciontáctil y audi tiva simultánea que confirma al usuario su activacion.A portable electronic communication device, such as a cell phone, with a data entry part comprising an integral and malleable keyboard of one or more buttons (150) to receive the input of a user, an actuator (158) connected to that button or buttons, an end switch (136) adjacent to each button, and a thin layer panel lighting means (142) and comprising a fin (144) between the actuator and the switch, with a vacuum (160) that allows moving to the fin, with an arc (162), to form that fin. The lighting medium is made of an electroluminous material, of low thickness, which allows to identify the key and the corresponding translucent marks with low or no ambient light, in a selective way and with an improved distribution. The communication device has audio circuits to generate an audible tone that communicates to the user the activation of a button. The switch also provides a tactile communication to the user when the button is pressed. It provides a versatile, low-cost means that meet minimum size requirements to provide backlighting to the data entry keypad when a button switch is activated, with a simultaneous touch and auditory communication that confirms the user's activation.
