Abstract

An input device with a dynamic display function includes a panel, an interface unit, and a control module, with multiple buttons groups randomly mounted on the panel. Each buttons group has at least one button, and one buttons group has at least two buttons. Every button has a lighting unit placed adjacently and has a symbol marked thereon, and the buttons in the same buttons groups have an identical symbol. The control module is electrically connected with the interface unit and the lighting unit and lights up at least one lighting unit and its corresponding button in every buttons groups. The interface unit transfers a signal from the lit button when the button is triggered. The buttons are randomly lit up by the control module in every operation.

Claims (27)

1. An input device with dynamic display function comprising a panel, and a control module, wherein:

multiple buttons groups are located on the panel;

each buttons group has at least one button;

one of the buttons group has at least two buttons;

every button has a symbol marked thereon;

the buttons of one buttons groups have an identical symbol;

each button has a lighting unit being placed corresponding to and being used for lighting the button;

the control module is electrically coupled with the buttons and the lighting unit;

the control module randomly lights up at least one lighting unit and its corresponding button in every buttons group in every operation;

the control module receives a signal from the button being triggered; and

the control module has a preset password for comparing the signal and output another signal for showing a result of the comparison.

2. The input device with dynamic display function as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the symbol marked on the button comprises digital numbers, English letters or patterns.

3. The input device with dynamic display function as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
