具有指示功能之導引按鍵Guide button with indication function

本創作係關於一種具有指示功能之導引按鍵，尤指一種可依照使用者需求連接各導引按鍵形成一導引系統，且能引導使用者觸壓導引按鍵順序，以避免人為觸碰錯誤按鍵的結構者。The present invention relates to a guiding button with an indicating function, in particular to a guiding system which can be connected according to the user's requirements to form a guiding system, and can guide the user to touch the guiding button sequence to avoid human touch errors. The structure of the button.

按，電子式按鍵是一種沒有機械動作的按鍵，可避免機械活動的故障與接觸不良的缺點，但需使用電子感測電路，由於電子感測電路結構較為複雜，因此大都應用於觸控螢幕，當使用者按壓觸控螢幕上的圖形按鈕時，藉由預先編程的程式驅動各種連結裝置，以取代機械式的按鍵，對於許多需要引導使用者操作順序的電氣設備而言(例如：金融提款機)，使用觸控螢幕確實能達到其目的，但對於大型機台(例如：電廠監控室)由於距離關係，使用觸控螢幕則十分不便，因此大多設置個別獨立的按鍵；惟，目前獨立的按鍵缺乏引導指示功能，亦沒有防止碰觸的設計，因此常造成人為觸碰錯誤按鍵，顯然有待改良。Press, the electronic button is a kind of button without mechanical action, which can avoid the malfunction of mechanical activity and the defect of poor contact, but the electronic sensing circuit is needed. Because the structure of the electronic sensing circuit is relatively complicated, it is mostly applied to the touch screen. When the user presses the graphic button on the touch screen, the various programming devices are driven by a pre-programmed program instead of the mechanical button, for many electrical devices that need to guide the user's operation sequence (for example: financial withdrawal) Machine), using the touch screen can really achieve its purpose, but for large machines (such as: power plant monitoring room) due to the distance relationship, the use of touch screen is very inconvenient, so most of the individual buttons are set; however, currently independent The button lacks the guiding indication function, and there is no design to prevent the touch. Therefore, the artificial touch button is often caused, and obviously needs to be improved.
