(e) According to the touch command, the positional adjustment unit is used to change the moved touch button from another position to another position. [Embodiment] Referring to Figures 1A and 1B, a block diagram of a first embodiment of the touch keyboard of the present invention is shown. In the figure, the touch keyboard U mainly includes a transparent display 111, a touch sensing unit 112 and a position configuration unit 113. The transparent display lu can display a plurality of touch buttons mi, and the touch sensing unit 112 is connected to the transparent display lu. When the user moves one of the touch buttons U11 with a touch component 12, the touch sensing unit 112 senses a touch command 1121 according to the touched button uu that is moved. It only uses the touch keyboard u that is forked and can be applied to a notebook type electric computer, a general computer mainframe or various external mainframes (not shown) to replace the traditional mechanical keyboard' and as a wheeled device. Use.显显^说Γ的「““Transparent display” refers to the peripheral part of the other side of the display that is transparent in appearance: another: Look, you can see the display (1) placed on the table 14, ^ in the first In the figure 1A, when the transparent display button 1111 is used to recognize the touch-sensitive button UU displayed by the display device, the viewer 1111 presses or moves the block, and can view, group, and not It is blocked by the touch keyboard 11 to see the object below or behind the phased keyboard 〗 1. 7 201013478 The touch component 12 can be a stylus, a finger or a touch object. That is, the touch 7L member 12 is any object that can select and move the touch button 1111' on the surface of the transparent display ^(1) and is sufficient for the touch sensing unit i i 2 to sense the touch command 1121. The position arranging unit U3 is connected to both the transparent display 111 and the touch sensing unit 112, and can change the position of the moved touch button 111 from the original position to another position according to the touch command 1121. For example, the Esc key in Figure 1A is changed from position m2 to position 1113 shown in Figure 1B. The content of the touch command 1121 may include the touched button mi moved and the coordinate value of the other position. Therefore, the position arranging unit 113 can arbitrarily change the display position of the moved touch key 1U1 according to the data of the touched touch button 11U and the coordinate value of the other position. The touch keyboard u of FIG. 1A adopts a standard keyboard (Qwerty Keyboard) arrangement, and the touch type keyboard 1111 of the touch keyboard u of FIG. 18 is arranged in such a manner that the user according to his own needs. The respective touch buttons 1111 are moved to a desired position. Comparing the touch keyboard 11 of FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, except for the arrangement of the letter keys, the function keys (F1 to F4), the symbol keys (<, >, &, $, "), the direction The position or arrangement of the keys (t, i, —, —) and the numeric keys (〇~9) are changed. In this way, the user can touch the surface of the transparent display 111 by the touch element 12 to Moving the touch buttons 1111 to the desired position makes the button configuration of the touch keyboard 11 more suitable for its own needs. 8 201013478 In addition, the touch keyboard π can further add a storage unit 114, which can be stored. The coordinate value of the position of the touch-sensitive touch 1111, for example, when the coordinate value j of the position 1113 is restarted, the touched touch key mi will be displayed on the position 1113 according to the coordinate value. The storage unit a. The coordinate value of the touch-sensitive button 1111 that meets the personal needs of the user can be used to re-adjust the touch-sensitive button to the desired position every time the touch-sensitive keyboard u is activated. The touch keyboard 11 can also add a character input unit 115. When one of the touch buttons mi is touched, the character input unit 115 can display a letter, a number, a symbol or a letter corresponding to the touched touch button on the external display device 13 It should be noted that the term "external display device" means that a display device does not belong to the touch keyboard 11 and is located outside the touch keyboard u, but the display device can display the data input by the touch keyboard U. . Those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to clarify the meaning of the term "external display device", and therefore will not be described again. When the touch element 12 is touched by the touch element 12, the touch signal of the touched touch button 1111 is received by the character input unit 115 and converted to be input by the user. Data with various letters, numbers, symbols, or text to use an external host for file editing. The transparent display 111 can also have a data display area 1114. When the user touches one of the touch buttons 11u with the touch component 12, the data display area 1114 displays the touch sensitive button mi. 201013478 The number of letters, symbols or words should be used. Moreover, the user can also move the data display area 1114 by using the touch component 12, and the touch sensing unit 112 senses another touch instruction according to the moved data display area 1114, and is configured by the location configuration unit 113 according to another touch command. The moved data display area 1114 is placed in any position from the predetermined position. Therefore, when inputting data such as abcde, the user does not have to look up the information displayed by the external display device 13 at any time, and only needs to confirm whether the input data is correct through the data display area 1114 to speed up the input of data. Speed and accuracy. However, the data display area 1114 usually only needs to display the most recent or partial data 'and all the data is displayed on the external display device 13. The touch keyboard 11 can further add an input method switching unit 116 for switching the input method of the touch button 1111, and changing the touch button 11u from the first wheel to the second input code. For example, in the Chinese input environment, the touch keyboard 11 of the first embodiment can switch a plurality of input methods by the input method switching unit 116, for example, phonetic, cangjie, Dayi, no shrimp, ranks, etc. Various input methods. If you want to convert the warehouse town rounding method into the big easy input method, the standard keyboard letter key Q, letter key A and letter key Z, under the bin collar input method, the two buttons respectively display "hand", " "day" and "heavy". However, after the input method switching unit 116 is switched to the large easy input method, the letter key Q, the letter key A and the letter key Z of the original standard keyboard will display "stone", "person" and "heart" respectively. The touch keyboard 11 can also add a multi-language switching unit 117 which can switch the language of the touch-sensitive button 1111 and change the touch-sensitive button 11U from the first language to the second language. For example, if the English input method is to be converted into a Japanese input method, in the case of a standard keyboard, the original letter key Q, the sub-key A and the letter key z will respectively display "moxibus" via the multi-language switching unit 117. , "Right" and "〇" to input the Japanese character string. That is, the user can switch the language of each country by using the multi-language switching unit 117 and with different input requirements, so that the touch buttons 1111 display different language systems, such as Chinese, English, and Japanese. Or Korean letters or symbols 'allows users to edit files with multilingual text. In addition, the touch keyboard 11 can also add a reset unit 118 for relocating the moved touch button 111u from another position to a predetermined position. Therefore, when the user wants to change the configuration of the standard keyboard or reconfigure the position of the touch buttons 11n, the reset button 118 can restore the touch buttons 1111 to the initially set position. And the coordinate value of the predetermined position is stored in the storage unit 114 in advance. Referring to Figures 2A and 2B, a block diagram of a second embodiment of the touch keyboard of the present invention is shown. The touch keyboard 21 provided in the second embodiment can be placed on a mobile phone, a computer or various external mainframes to replace the conventional mechanical keyboard. The touch keyboard 21 mainly includes a transparent display 211, a touch sensing unit 212 and a position configuring unit 213, and a storage unit 214, a character input unit 215, an input method switching unit 216, and a plurality of Language switching unit 217. The user can also use the touch element 22 to move the 201013478 button 2(1) to any position, for example, to move the position 2113 of the digital map to the position 2114 of the figure.
