Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, which may be, but is not limited to, a notebook computer, and the like, and referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device is shown, where the electronic device may include: an input part 101 and a voltage output device 102. Wherein:
the input area of the input unit 101 includes a key area and a non-key area.
The friction coefficients of the key area and the non-key area are different, namely the surface roughness of the key area and the surface roughness of the non-key area are different.
Voltage output means 102 for providing a first type of voltage to a key area and/or a non-key area of the input member 101 in an on-state.
When the operation body interacts with the input component 101, the second type of voltage provided by the operation body and the first type of voltage provided by the voltage output device 102 are used to form an electrostatic force, and the electrostatic force makes the difference between the resistance of the operation body acting on the key region and the resistance acting on the non-key region smaller than a preset threshold value. In the present embodiment, the electrostatic force formed by the second type of voltage supplied by the operating body and the first type of voltage supplied by the voltage output device 102 makes the resistance acting on the key region and the resistance acting on the non-key region of the operating body close to or equal to each other.
In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the voltage output device can provide the first type of voltage for the key area and/or the non-key area of the input area of the electronic device, so that when the operation body interacts with the input component, the voltage of the operation body and the voltage provided by the voltage output device can form an electrostatic force, and the electrostatic force can enable the difference between the resistance acting on the key area and the resistance acting on the non-key area by the operation body to be smaller than a preset threshold value, therefore, the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the invention enables the operation body such as a handwriting pen to perform sliding input operation in the key area and sliding input operation in the non-key area, and the user experience is better.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, please refer to fig. 2, which shows a schematic structural diagram of the electronic device, and the electronic device may include: an input component 201 and a voltage output device 202. Wherein:
the input area of the input part 201 includes a key area and a non-key area.
The friction coefficients of the key area and the non-key area are different, namely the surface roughness of the key area and the surface roughness of the non-key area are different.
It will be appreciated that there may be two situations where the input area has different coefficients of friction between the key area and the non-key area, one where the coefficient of friction of the key area is greater than the coefficient of friction of the non-key area, and another where the coefficient of friction of the key area is less than the coefficient of friction of the non-key area.
A voltage output means 202 for providing a first type of voltage to the key area and/or the non-key area in the on-state.
When the operation body interacts with the input component, the second type of voltage provided by the operation body and the first type of voltage provided by the voltage output device 202 are used for forming an electrostatic force, and the electrostatic force enables the difference between the resistance force applied to the key area by the operation body and the resistance force applied to the non-key area to be smaller than a preset threshold value.
In this embodiment, in order to make the difference between the resistance of the operating body acting on the key region and the resistance acting on the non-key region smaller than the preset threshold, the voltage output device 202 may only provide the first type of voltage for the key region, or the voltage output device 202 may only provide the first type of voltage for the non-key region, or the voltage output device 202 may provide both the first type of voltage for the key region and the first type of voltage for the non-key region.
Specifically, when the friction coefficient of the key area is greater than the friction coefficient of the non-key area, in order to make the difference between the resistances of the operation body acting on the key area and the non-key area smaller than the preset threshold, so that the operation body can perform the sliding input operation in the key area and the non-key area, the voltage output device 202 outputs the first type of voltage when the operation body operates in the non-key area, and at this time, an electrostatic force is formed between the operation body and the non-key area, that is, the difference between the resistance of the operation body acting on the key area and the resistance of the operation body acting on the non-key area is smaller than the preset threshold due to the electrostatic force formed by the second type of voltage provided by the operation body and the first type of voltage provided by the voltage output device for the non-key area.
When the friction coefficient of the key area is smaller than that of the non-key area, in order to make the difference between the resistances of the operation body acting on the key area and the non-key area smaller than the preset threshold value, so that the operation body can perform the sliding input operation in the key area and the non-key area, the voltage output device 202 outputs the first type of voltage when the operation body operates in the key area, and at this time, an electrostatic force is formed between the key area and the operation body, that is, the difference between the resistance of the operation body acting on the key area and the resistance acting on the non-key area is smaller than the preset threshold value due to the electrostatic force formed by the second type of voltage provided by the operation body and the first type of voltage provided by the voltage output device 202 for the key area.
The above procedure gives the case where the voltage output means 202 only provides the first type of voltage for the key areas and the voltage output means 202 only provides the first type of voltage for the non-key areas. The following describes the case where the voltage output device 202 provides the first type of voltage to both the key area and the non-key area:
the voltage output device 202 can generate a first electrostatic force between the key region and the operating body and a second electrostatic force between the non-key region and the operating body by outputting a first type of voltage.
Specifically, the voltage output device 202 provides a first voltage of a first type for the key region, and provides a second voltage of the first type for the non-key region, the first voltage provided by the voltage output device 202 for the key region and a third voltage of a second type provided by the operating body form a first electrostatic force, the second voltage provided by the voltage output device 202 for the non-key region and the third voltage provided by the operating body form a second electrostatic force, and a difference between a resistance acting on the key region and a resistance acting on the non-key region by the operating body is smaller than a preset threshold value due to the first electrostatic force and the second electrostatic force.
It can be understood that, because the friction coefficients of the key region and the non-key region of the input region are different, in order to make the difference between the resistance applied to the key region and the resistance applied to the non-key region by the operating body smaller than the preset threshold, the voltage applied to the key region by the voltage output device 202 is different from the voltage applied to the non-key region, and in order to make the voltage applied to the key region by the voltage output device 202 different from the voltage applied to the non-key region, the voltage output device 202 may be wired in the electronic device with a different wiring density in the key region and a different wiring density in the non-key region, that is, the voltage output device 202 may provide a first voltage to the key region and a second voltage different from the first voltage to the non-key region by the different wiring densities.
In addition, in another possible implementation manner, the voltage output device 202 may include a voltage generating unit and a voltage adjusting unit, and the voltage adjusting unit may adjust the voltage generated by the voltage generating unit based on the operation region of the operating body, so that the voltage output unit 202 can output, for the key region and the non-key region, a first voltage and a second voltage, which enable a difference between a resistance force applied to the key region and a resistance force applied to the non-key region by the operating body to be smaller than a preset threshold value.
In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the invention, the voltage output device can provide the first type of voltage for the key area and/or the non-key area of the input area of the electronic device, so that when the operation body interacts with the input component, the voltage of the operation body and the voltage provided by the voltage output device can form an electrostatic force, and the electrostatic force can enable the difference between the resistance acting on the key area and the resistance acting on the non-key area by the operation body to be smaller than a preset threshold value, therefore, the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the invention enables the operation body such as a handwriting pen to perform sliding input operation in the key area and sliding input operation in the non-key area, and the user experience is better.

The operation body 301 performs an input operation in an input area of an input unit of the electronic device 302. The operation body 301 may be, but is not limited to, an electromagnetic pen, a capacitive pen, or the like.
When the operating body 301 interacts with an input component of the electronic device 302, the second type of voltage provided by the operating body 301 and the first type of voltage provided by the voltage output device of the electronic device 302 can form an electrostatic force, and the electrostatic force enables a difference between a resistance force of the operating body acting on the key region and a resistance force acting on the non-key region to be smaller than a preset threshold value.
