Design and input method of multifunctional keyboard and multifunctional keyboard

Abstract

The invention discloses a design and input method of a multifunctional keyboard. The design and input method comprises the following steps that (1) a functional key zone and the like are arranged according to the layout of the existing computer keyboard; (2) a left figure point rod and a right figure point rod are arranged in a main keyboard zone, the left figure point rod is arranged in the clearance formed by an R key, a D key and an F key, and the right figure point rod is arranged in the clearance formed by an L key, a J key and a K key; (3) a left space key and a right space key are arranged in the main keyboard zone and symmetrically positioned between the two Alt keys side by side; (4) a state indicating lamp is arranged in a state indicating zone; and (5) the left figure point, the right figure point, the left space key and the right space key are combined for use to achieve multiple corresponding input functions. The invention further discloses the multifunctional keyboard. By means of the multifunctional keyboard, a user can conveniently operate a computer without a mouse. A touch pad, a left key and a right key can be removed, so that the keyboard is miniaturized and meets the requirements for small, thin and convenient usage of the existing notebook computer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to computer technology, in particular to a design and input method of a multifunctional keyboard with the added function of dragging up and down scroll bars and realizing the zoom function of the current operation page, and the multifunctional keyboard implementing the method. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, input operations for information processing machines and devices such as computers generally rely on keyboards, mice, pointing sticks, trackballs, and later touchpads and the like. Due to the unreasonable layout position of the pointing stick on the keyboard and the appearance of the touchpad technology later, the pointing stick has gradually faded out of people's field of vision. Now except for Lenovo's ThinkPad notebook computers and a small number of HP notebook computers, other brand notebook computers have disappeared. Seldom adopt, especially seldom people adopt on desktop computer keyboard, even if point...

Problems solved by technology

Due to the unreasonable layout position of the pointing stick on the keyboard and the appearance of the touchpad technology later, the pointing stick has gradually faded out of people's field of vision. Now except for Lenovo's ThinkPad notebook computers and a small number of HP notebook computers, other brand notebook computers have disappeared. It is rarely used, and few people use it on desktop computer keyboards. Even if there is a pointing stick, because of its inconvenient operation and poor functionality, people who buy notebook computers generally have to buy an external mouse.

[0003] See figure 1 , the pointing stick on the existing keyboard is arranged between G, H, B character keys and three keys left key, right key and middle key are arranged below the space bar at the same time, there will be certain interference with the space bar during manipulation, and produce Misoperation, moreover, the hand has to leave the normal operating position of the keyboard during operation, resulting in very awkward and laborious manipulation of the pointing stick and the right button, and less functionality and poor sensitivity. Based on these various reasons, the pointing stick technology is becoming more and more more abandoned by people

[0004] For the touchpad, although it is easy to operate, the sensitivity is relatively poor. Moreover, when manipulating the touchpad, the hand must be far away from the normal operating position of the keyboard to control the mouse function alone. With the rapid development of computer control technology and notebook manufacturing technology, when people put forward smaller, faster and thinner requirements for notebook computers, the touchpad will hinder the development of computers

At the same time, for some special computer equipment such as industrial computers, due to its poor working environment and small space, it is not suitable for external mouse or wireless mouse to operate, and the keyboard layout and functions of the prior art cannot support it well. Input operations of various tracks without a mouse
