Input receiver and electronic device
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, input receiver includes: cover; key module; detector; and button. Second opening is close to one end of the cover. First supporting surface is close to other end of the cover. Recess is between the second opening and the first supporting surface. Second supporting surface is configured to be aligned with the recess in direction intersecting first direction in which the second opening and the first supporting surface are aligned. The key module includes: area including keys separated from one another at first pitch; and area including keys separated from surrounding keys at second pitch shorter than the first pitch. The key module is in contact with the cover. The detector is aligned with the key module in the first direction. Detecting area is covered with portion of the first supporting surface and the second supporting surface.
1. An input receiver comprising:
a cover comprising:
one end; and
an other end, wherein
an opening is close to a side of the one end, and
a palm rest and a receiving surface are close to a side of the other end;
a key module, wherein
a plurality of keys are exposed through the opening;
a detector, wherein
a detecting area capable of detecting an external input operation is covered with the receiving surface, and
a button comprising a plurality of arms, wherein
an end of each of the arms is bounded to an end of each of a plurality of support portions provided on the cover,
the support portions are projected from an edge portion of the detector to a position where the arms are covered with the detector, and
the button is off the cover and exposed.
2. The input receiver of claim 1 , wherein tips of the keys are at about a same height as the palm rest.
3. The input receiver of claim 1 , wherein the detecting area is attached to the cover via an adhesive member.
4. An electronic device comprising:
a housing comprising a wall portion, wherein
the wall portion comprises:
one end; and
an other end, wherein
an opening is close to a side of the one end, and
a palm rest and a receiving surface are close to a side of the other end;
a key module, wherein a plurality of keys are exposed through the opening;
a detector, wherein a detecting area capable of detecting an external input operation is covered with the receiving surface; and
a button comprising a plurality of arms, wherein
an end of each of the arms is bounded to an end of each of a plurality of support portions provided on the wall portion,
the support portions are projected from an edge portion of the detector to a position where the arms are covered with the detector, and
the button is off the wall portion and exposed.
