Description of drawings
Above-mentioned feature, essence and advantage with other of the present utility model will be by becoming more obvious below in conjunction with accompanying drawing to the description of embodiment, and identical in the accompanying drawings Reference numeral is represented identical feature, wherein:
Fig. 1 illustrates a kind of computer system; With
Fig. 2 illustrates a kind of computer keyboard that is used for this computer system.
Embodiment
Further specify the technical solution of the utility model below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.
Fig. 1 illustrates a kind of computer system 10.This computer system can be the device of desk-top computer, portable computer, mainframe computer, mini computing machine and other similar transmitting-receivings and deal with data.Computer system 10 can comprise main frame 20 and the multiple peripheral hardware that is used for deal with data, such as, display 30, keyboard 40 and mouse 50.
Fig. 2 illustrates the keyboard 40 that is used for this computer system.Keyboard 40 comprises a plurality of input areas, for example, the phonetic entry zone be convenient to the user by voice mode to computer system 10 input informations, handwriting input zone be convenient to the user by handwriting mode to computer system 10 input informations, touch input area be convenient to the user by touch manner to computer system 10 input informations and button input area be convenient to the user by key mode to computer system 10 input informations.
As shown in Figure 2, the phonetic entry zone can comprise a plurality of buttons, for example, phonetic entry button 401 is used to start/cut out speech voice input function, reads aloud button 402 and be used to start font size and the microphone 405 that the function of reading aloud literal shown on the display, volume, magnifier button 404 that volume button 403 is used to regulate voice output be used to regulate the literal of screen display and be used to import voice.Press the phonetic entry button and can start microphone and voice intermediary, wherein voice intermediary is how a kind of application software uses speech voice input function with the Assistance And Instruction user.
As shown in Figure 2, the handwriting input zone comprises handwriting input button 406, handwriting pad 407 and is used to shelve the hand-written penholder 408 of writing pencil.Handwriting input button 406 is used to start/close hand-write input function, thereby the user can use writing pencil on handwriting pad 407 by handwriting mode to computer system 10 input informations.
As shown in Figure 2, touch input area comprise touch load button 409 and be used to start/close touch-input function, thereby the user can be by touching touch piece in this zone to computer system 10 input informations.Touch piece and can comprise that several punctuation marks touch pieces 411 and several function touches one or more touch pieces of selecting in the piece 412 from several letter touch pieces 410.Wherein, function touch piece 412 can comprise that the F series function touches piece and other functions touch piece.
As scheme to show that it is overlapping to touch input area and handwriting input area part, that is, it is overlapping to touch piece and part handwriting pad 407.Touch piece to be user-friendly in order to highlight, keyboard 40 of the present utility model also comprises illuminating lamp (not shown).This illuminating lamp be installed in touch piece and handwriting pad 407 laps below.Thereby, when select touching input pattern, open this illuminating lamp highlighting the touch piece, and when the selection handwriting input mode, close this illuminating lamp to be user-friendly to handwriting pad 407.
As shown in Figure 2, the button input area comprises a plurality of keys, for example, from several number keyboard 413, one or more keys of selecting in several function key 414 and several shortcuts 415.For making things convenient for special user's (particularly, old user) to use keyboard, the size of the key in the button input area can be bigger, for example, and greater than the size of the key on the existing keyboard or greater than the size that touches the touch piece in the input area.Wherein, function key 414 can comprise ESC Escape (Esc), backspace key (backspace), special function keys (Ctrl), transfer key (Shift), special function keys (Alt), space (Space) key, delete key (Cancel), acknowledgement key (Enter), etc.
Keyboard of the present utility model is taked several different methods to save the space of keyboard and is improved the ease for use of keyboard.For example, the utility model is put into the button input area with major key, and the key of less relatively usefulness is put into the touch input area.For example, the utility model is put into the button input area with function key commonly used (as, ESC Escape, special function keys, etc.), and the function key of less relatively usefulness (as, F series function key) is put into the touch input area.Like this, the user can easily control by button.And for example, owing to some user (particularly, old user) is unfamiliar with letter input method, therefore, less use letter key.In view of the above, the utility model is put into the touch input area with letter key, and numerical key is put into the button input area, so that save the space and increase operation rate.
