Description

The capacitance type touch key and the method for designing thereof that are used for mobile phone
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile phone and mobile phone, especially relate to capacitance type touch key and method for designing thereof for mobile phone.
Background technology
The button design of existing mobile phone and mobile phone all is to adopt machinery or plastic press key all the time, and this type button need have electrically contacting of physics could realize keypress function, and mechanical displacement means is the indispensable parts of the type button.Owing to need physics contact and mechanical movement, so the poor reliability of the type button, failure rate height.In addition, the key area does not have the double functions such as handwriting input and motion identification of doing, and has tangible limitation in function.
In recent years, smart mobile phone or even regular handset all begin to adopt the touch-screen button, the type button places keypress function a part of viewing area, do not need mechanical moving element to realize keypress function, greatly improved the reliability of button, farthest used the available display area of mobile phone, made it not only be used for showing, and be used for button and identification hand-written and that other strokes are relevant.But the mobile phone key cost height that is to use this method to realize, power consumption is big, and the spendable time is short behind the cell-phone charging.And, there is not traditional keyboard like that directly perceived and simple and convenient in the use.Therefore, mobile phone and mobile phone still adopt traditional mechanical key at present greatly.
Chinese patent 201020262507.1 discloses a kind of mobile phone touch keyboard auxiliary input device, comprises panel, a plurality of apertures of hollow out on panel, and the position of aperture, shape are all corresponding with the mobile phone touch key-press, adopt between panel and the mobile phone body to be slidingly connected; Described aperture is divided into three rows, and middle row's aperture is distributed in the middle of the panel, arranges the last lower limb that aperture is distributed in panel up and down, and area is 1/2nd of middle row's aperture, semi-surrounding mobile phone touch key-press.Its purpose is, reduces the height of panel; Misoperation when the present invention can avoid importing effectively, simple in structure, low production cost, volume is little, and employing is slidingly connected between panel and the mobile phone body, can under not use state it be slided, do not influence the normal demonstration of screen, especially be fit to be used with condenser type mobile phone touch keyboard.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide capacitance type touch key and method for designing thereof for mobile phone.
The present invention is provided with dielectric layer, touches capacitance electrode and control circuit, and described touch capacitance electrode is located on the dielectric layer, touches capacitance electrode and is connected with the input of control circuit.
Described dielectric layer can adopt polymethyl methacrylate dielectric layer, acrylic dielectric layer, plastic medium layer etc.
The HX611 chip that described control circuit can adopt Xiamen Haixin Technology Co., Ltd. to produce.
The method for designing of described capacitance type touch key for mobile phone is as follows:
1) determines the size of position, shape, size and each button of mobile phone key district on mobile phone by application requirements;
2) select suitable medium as the dielectric layer that touches electric capacity, select suitable electric conducting material as the touch sensible electrode that touches electric capacity, font on the button or figure can print or be sprayed on dielectric material above or below, dielectric material and capacitance electrode can adopt transparent material, make the light source of " mobile phone main body " can see through capacitance electrode and dielectric material, reach and show or purpose backlight, the device demonstration that the font of button or figure also can use liquid crystal or other to can be used for showing, and need not print or spray;
3) the corresponding capacitance electrode of each button is connected to the corresponding input channel of capacitance type touch key control circuit, the capacitance type touch key controller can be an independently chip, or a part in System on Chip/SoC, the selection of input channel and relevant circuit thereof;
4) identical dielectric material and identical display device can be used with key zone in the viewing area, also can use different dielectric materials and different display devices;
5) according to application requirements, different contact (triggering) sensitivity can be set for the different key on the mobile phone; Can also increase paddling at key zone, the function beyond the buttons such as handwriting recognition.
The present invention adopts capacitance type touch key to replace traditional mechanical key, the principle of capacitance type touch key is the touch by human body (finger), make the direct-to-ground capacitance value of the corresponding position that is touched change, control circuit through capacitance type touch key detects this capacitance variations again, judges with this whether button is touched (pressing).Capacitance type touch key is made up of medium, touch capacitance electrode and control circuit.Touching capacitance electrode can directly spray or be printed on the medium with any electric conducting material, or uses the printing pcb board to place below the medium.Below the medium of key area, i.e. configurable demonstration makes it similar to touch-screen mobile phone, also can not dispose demonstration, and just the same with traditional mechanical key cell phone appearance and keyboard Designing.In the touch key-press district, can increase handwriting input, stroke identification and other function.Like this, but both overcome traditional mechanical key poor reliability and the single shortcoming of function of use, kept again that its cost is low, power consumption is little, uses in intuitively with advantage simply and easily.On the plane of key zone, can increase the function that conventional keys such as handwriting input, stroke and mobile identification can't realize.
