Description

M253050 五、創作說明（1) 屬之技術領娀本創作是有關於一種鍵盤組合結構，且特別是有關於一種適用於手持電子裝置之全尺寸（full size)鍵盤組合結構。先前技術手持式電子裝置（handheld electronic device)係指體積小、可隨身攜帶之電子裝置，例如行動電話 (mobile phone)、掌上型電腦（handheld PC)或個人化數位助理（PDA)等等。由於手持式電子裝置可運用在無線通訊、網際網路之領域中，因此帶給人們在生活上的便利性以及效率更高之行動通訊處理，也成為時下最受歡迎的高科技電子產品。值得注意的是，手持電子裝置之面板僅有手掌般大小，而螢幕（screen)的面積佔去面板大部分的面積，因此面板上之按鍵數量明顯減少許多，故無法將一般打字用鍵盤（keyboard)之按鍵全部排列於面板上。此外，為了減少按鍵的數量，常見的行動電話上係將多個字母符號或數字符號設在同一個按鍵上，或使用功能鍵 (function key)來切換所要輸入的字母符號或數字符號，使用上不如標準打字用的鍵盤（Q w e r t y )來得順手，且其字母符號的排列方式非一般熟悉的打字用排列方式，對使用者來說將不容易在不看鍵盤的情況下，就能輸入字母符號。第1 A及1 B圖分別繪示習知一種行動電話之鍵盤結構M253050 V. Description of creation (1) The technical collar of the creation This creation is about a keyboard combination structure, and in particular a full size keyboard combination structure suitable for a handheld electronic device. Prior art Handheld electronic device refers to a small, portable electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a handheld PC, or a personal digital assistant (PDA). Since handheld electronic devices can be used in the fields of wireless communications and the Internet, it brings convenience to people in life and more efficient mobile communication processing, and it has become the most popular high-tech electronic product. It is worth noting that the panel of a handheld electronic device is only the size of a palm, and the area of the screen occupies most of the area of the panel. Therefore, the number of keys on the panel is significantly reduced, so the keyboard for general typing cannot be used. ) The keys are all arranged on the panel. In addition, in order to reduce the number of keys, common mobile phones have multiple alphabetic or numeric symbols on the same key, or use the function key to switch the alphabetic or numeric symbols to be entered. Not as handy as a standard typing keyboard (Q werty), and the arrangement of alphabetic symbols is not the familiar arrangement of typing, it will not be easy for users to enter alphabetic symbols without looking at the keyboard . Figures 1A and 1B show the keyboard structure of a mobile phone.
