Μ ‘How to design a keyboard device that is both casual and superior to the traditional physical buttons’ is one of the important research directions in the development of key recording. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a county keyboard for solving the problems of the conventional keyboard device, and the optical keyboard also has better application convenience. The present invention provides an optically-compatible portable electronic device. The optical keyboard includes an .if optical medium, a plurality of optical transceiver modules, and a microprocessor, wherein the transparent medium has a charm domain. The optical transceiver module is disposed below the transparent medium body and has an optical transceiver module below each of the corresponding transmissive regions. Each of the optical transceiver modules comprises: a light source and a light sensor. The light source emits light, and the light passes through the sensing area corresponding to the optical transceiver module. When the _ indicating object is on the wire area, the damper receives the sensing from the indicating object and penetrates the silk region corresponding to the neon rhyme: light. The microprocessor is electrically connected to the photo sensors, and outputs an input command corresponding to the allergenic region according to the m-invention of the sensing n-field corresponding to each photosensor. According to the optical keyboard of the present invention, the towel micro-processing device is set with the -critical light 201222328 intensity value and the -critical time, starting from any light sensor receiving the sensing light reflected by the indicator object, when the microprocessor is connected _ The sensed light of the sensing area corresponding to the light sense, and the light intensity of the spring is changed from a value greater than the critical light intensity to a light intensity less than the s product boundary in the critical time, and the input of the micro-service (4) should be based on the input area. The optical keyboard of the present invention is characterized in that the cap processor is configured with a critical distance value and a critical time, indicating that the object has a relative distance from the sensing area, and the self-receiving sensor receives the sensing wire reflected by the indicating object. When the relative distance is less than the critical miscellaneous value in the transition date _, the micro-service output corresponds to the input command of the sensor. According to the invention, the wire is a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The optical keyboard according to the present invention, wherein the sensing light is - visible or invisible. The optical keyboard proposed by the present invention is a plurality of optical transceiver modules for projecting JI to sense the light reflected by the finger reading device above the sensing domain d, so that the microprocessor determines whether the output corresponds to the sense. The input command of the body. According to the optical keyboard of the present invention, not only the physical convenience of the conventional keyboard can be reduced, but also the application convenience is better. The content description of the present invention is the same as the following, and the following embodiments are used to explain the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is further explained. The features, implementations, and effects of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the preferred embodiment of the drawings 201222328. [Embodiment] A "u" diagram is a partial structure of an optical keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. The optical keyboard surface includes a transparent medium body, a plurality of optical transceiver groups 10 and - Microprocessing H (10). The silky face can be adapted to be a portable electronic device for use as an input command device for a computer device, such as a notebook computer eb (8) k) or other observable computer. The transparent medium body 102 can include a plurality of protruding buttons and has a plurality of sensing regions 20 for contacting an object (e.g., a user's finger) or moving on a surface thereof to input an instruction. The optical transceiver module 1 is disposed opposite to the transparent medium body ι2, and has a corresponding optical transceiver module 10 below each sensing region 20. "1B" and "1C" are schematic diagrams of the operation of the optical keyboard of "A1A", wherein the optical transceiver module 1 includes a light source 1-4 and a light sensor Φ 106. The light source 1〇4 may be a light emitting diode (LED) and emit light such as visible light or invisible light (for example, infrared light). When the light source 1〇4 projects a sensing light, and the sensing light penetrates the sensing area 20 corresponding to the optical transceiver module 1〇 and is directed to the pointing object (such as the user's finger) on the sensing area 20 The sensed light is reflected by the indicator object and penetrates the sensing area 2〇 again and continues to be received by the light sensor 106. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the photo sensor 1〇6 may be, but not limited to, a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) or a Charge Coupled Device (201222328 CCD). Since each of the photo sensors 106 is electrically connected to the microprocessor 108, the micro processing benefit 108 can be determined according to the sensing area 2 感应 of the sensing area 2 每一 corresponding to each photo sensor 1 〇 6 Whether the optical keyboard 1 输出 outputs an input command corresponding to the sensing area 2〇. 2A is an optical keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention, which determines the 7F of the input k mechanism. The vertical axis and the horizontal axis of the figure coordinate respectively represent the light intensity sensed by the light sensing benefit 1〇6. time. In the following description, the input command of the single sensing area 20 is taken as an example. However, each of the light-sensitive medium bodies of the optical keyboard surface is moved by 20, and the output of the fixed wire surface corresponds to the sensing area. 20 input instructions. For example, the micro-driver can be set to have a critical light value of 1 〇 and a boundary time t via the user's touch. When the indicator object gradually approaches the sensing area, the light sensor 106 receives the sensed light reflected by the indicated object, and when the sensed light intensity reaches the critical light intensity value IG, the microprocessor lake records the time as the first time point. If the microprocessor 108 receives the sensed light, its light intensity is greater than the critical light intensity value lG纟 during the critical time t by less than the critical light intensity value Iq, that is, when the sensed light intensity is less than the critical light intensity value Ig _ is the second _ point t, and the second time point is 2 and the first time, the time difference dT is less than the critical time (five), minus, the micro-processing stealing judges the indication object input instruction, and the output indicating object corresponds to the sensing area 2G input command. Wherein, the meaning of the time difference dT between the second time point 2 and the first time point T1 is less than the critical time t is that when the time difference 叮 is greater than the critical 201222328 ^ t _ as indicated in the _ _ _ domain as above, the wheel is in the state, so no Input. It is not 疋 ‘ because the indicator object and the sensing area 2 〇 _ _ degrees, this Pro =: = ring to the light sensor object and the sensor care _ detachment sniper stroke coffee. Therefore, when the _ travel time = 'run 11 ', the U processor 108 determines that it is not the input mode. = the microprocessor 108 determines the method of indicating whether the object is input or not, and the disk (4) is a non-intentional mechanism of the optical key according to the present invention, wherein the vertical axis of the figure coordinates and the birch Axis: represents the filament solution domain _ _ _ _ _ distance i (d), because the indicator object and the sensing area 2 () _ distance f detector 106 sensed light intensity, it can also be converted relative Distance = critical distance 1 Γ 8 can be set to a distance from "and - critical time t. Therefore, when the indicator object is steadily, the relative distance is at the first time point - the critical distance ^ =: Γ: the piece may be rounded, from the second side to the second side by the J side - between the object and the sensing area 20 The relative distance is changed from the small square boundary distance value ^ to a value greater than::__Saki_na object point (4) is less than the critical time m, at this time, the micro-processing please 201222328 corresponds to the input command of the sensing area 20. Wherein the optical keyboard according to the embodiment of the present invention, the input command of the indication object may be a contact input command or a contactless input command. That is to say, when the critical distance value d0 is preset to zero, as shown in the "ic diagram", the microprocessor outputs an input command corresponding to the sensing area 20 as a touch input command. When the designer increases the sensitivity of the photo sensor 106 so that the critical distance value d0 can be greater than zero, as shown in "1B", the microprocessor output corresponds to the sensing. The input command of area 20 is a contactless input command. Therefore, in summary, the optical keyboard according to the embodiment of the present invention can realize the function of the light sensing keyboard through components such as a light source, a photo sensor, and a microprocessor, so as to solve the problem of the conventional keyboard keys. According to the foregoing judgment mechanism, the non-contact input command can be realized, and the convenience of the optical keyboard is greatly improved. While the present invention has been described above in the foregoing preferred embodiments, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of patent protection shall be subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached to the specification.
