Mobile computing devices have been developed to increase the functionality that is made available to users in a mobile setting. For example, a user may interact with a mobile phone, tablet computer, or other mobile computing device to check email, surf the web, compose texts, interact with applications, and so on. However, traditional mobile computing devices often employed a virtual keyboard that was accessed using touchscreen functionality of the device. This was generally employed to maximize an amount of display area of the computing device.
Use of the virtual keyboard, however, could be frustrating to a user that desired to provide a significant amount of inputs, such as to enter a significant amount of text to compose a long email, document, and so forth. Thus, conventional mobile computing devices were often perceived to have limited usefulness for such tasks, especially in comparison with ease at which users could enter text using a conventional keyboard, e.g., of a conventional desktop computer. Use of the conventional keyboards, though, with the mobile computing device could decrease the mobility of the mobile computing device and thus could make the mobile computing device less suited for its intended use in mobile settings.
Input device securing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a pressure sensitive key includes a sensor substrate having one or more conductors, a spacer layer, and a flexible contact layer. The spacer layer is disposed proximal to the sensor substrate and has at least one opening that exposes the one or more conductors of the sensor substrate, the opening defining a plurality of edges of the pressure sensitive key. The flexible contact layer is spaced apart from the sensor substrate by the spacer layer and configured to flex through the opening in response to an applied pressure to contact the one or more conductors of the sensor substrate to initiate an input. The flexible contact layer is secured to the spacer layer such that at a first edge, the flexible contact layer is secured to the spacer layer at an approximate midpoint of the first edge and is not secured to the spacer along another portion of the first edge and at a second edge, the flexible contact layer is not secured to the spacer layer along an approximate midpoint of the second edge.
In one or more implementations, an input device includes a sensor substrate having a first set of one or more conductors of a first pressure sensitive key and a second set of one or more conductors of a second pressure sensitive key, a spacer layer disposed proximal to the sensor substrate and having first and second openings that expose the first and second sets of conductors, respectively, and a flexible contact layer spaced apart from the sensor substrate by the spacer layer. The flexible contact layer is configured to flex through the first and second openings responsive to an applied pressure to contact, respectively, the first and second sets of conductors to initiate respective first and second inputs. An arrangement of adhesive that secures the flexible contact layer to the spacer layer along one or more edges of the first pressure sensitive key is different than an arrangement of adhesive that secures the flexible contact layer to the spacer layer along one or more edges of the second pressure sensitive key.
In one or more implementations, an input device includes a sensor substrate having a plurality of sets of one or more conductors of a respective plurality of pressure sensitive keys, a spacer layer disposed proximal to the sensor substrate and having a plurality of openings that expose the plurality of sets of conductors, respectively, a flexible contact layer, and a press equalization device. The flexible contact layer is spaced apart from the sensor substrate by the spacer layer and configured to flex through the plurality of openings responsive to respective applied pressures to respective sets of conductors to initiate respective inputs. The pressure equalization device is formed as a series of connected channels that connect one or more of the plurality of openings to an outside area of the input device to permit air pressure of the outside area to generally equalize with air pressure within the one or more of the plurality of openings.

Overview
Pressure sensitive keys may be used as part of an input device to support a relatively thin form factor, such as approximately three millimeters. However, pressure sensitive keys may not provide a degree of feedback that is common with conventional mechanical keyboards and therefore may result in missed hits and partial hits to intended keys of the keyboard. Further, conventional configuration of the pressure sensitive keys often resulted in different sensitivities due to the flexibility of the material being deflected, e.g., greater deflection is generally observed at a central area of the key as opposed to an edge of the key. Therefore, conventional pressure sensitive keys could result in an inconsistent user experience with a device that employs the keys.
Input device securing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a pressure sensitive key is configured to provide a normalized output, e.g., to counteract differences in the flexibility at different positions of the pressure sensitive key. For example, sensitivity at an edge of a key may be increased in comparison with the sensitivity at a center of the key to address the differences in flexibility of the key at those positions.
The sensitivity may be adjusted in a variety of ways. For example, sensitivity may be adjusted by arrangement of support structure and/or adhesives used to secure a flexible contact layer to a spacer layer. This may be used to alter flexibility along different locations along an edge of the key. Sensitivity may also be adjusted for different keys. For example, depending on a location on a keyboard, different keys may be pressed using different fingers as well as different parts of a finger. Accordingly, arrangement of the adhesive may also be performed to address these differences. Further discussion of these and other features including formation and use of a pressure equalization device may be found in relation to the following sections.
In the following discussion, an example environment is first described that may employ the techniques described herein. Example procedures are then described which may be performed in the example environment as well as other environments. Consequently, performance of the example procedures is not limited to the example environment and the example environment is not limited to performance of the example procedures.
Example Environment
The computing device 102, for instance, is illustrated as including an input/output module 108. The input/output module 108 is representative of functionality relating to processing of inputs and rendering outputs of the computing device 102. A variety of different inputs may be processed by the input/output module 108, such as inputs relating to functions that correspond to keys of the input device 104, keys of a virtual keyboard displayed by the display device 110 to identify gestures and cause operations to be performed that correspond to the gestures that may be recognized through the input device 104 and/or touchscreen functionality of the display device 110, and so forth. Thus, the input/output module 108 may support a variety of different input techniques by recognizing and leveraging a division between types of inputs including key presses, gestures, and so on.
In the illustrated example, the input device 104 is configured as a keyboard having a QWERTY arrangement of keys although other arrangements of keys are also contemplated. Further, other non-conventional configurations are also contemplated, such as a game controller, configuration to mimic a musical instrument, and so forth. Thus, the input device 104 and keys incorporated by the input device 104 may assume a variety of different configurations to support a variety of different functionality.
As previously described, the input device 104 is physically and communicatively coupled to the computing device 102 in this example through use of a flexible hinge 106. The flexible hinge 106 is flexible in that rotational movement supported by the hinge is achieved through flexing (e.g., bending) of the material forming the hinge as opposed to mechanical rotation as supported by a pin, although that embodiment is also contemplated. Further, this flexible rotation may be configured to support movement in one direction (e.g., vertically in the figure) yet restrict movement in other directions, such as lateral movement of the input device 104 in relation to the computing device 102. This may be used to support consistent alignment of the input device 104 in relation to the computing device 102, such as to align sensors used to change power states, application states, and so on.
The flexible hinge 106, for instance, may be formed using one or more layers of fabric and include conductors formed as flexible traces to communicatively couple the input device 104 to the computing device 102 and vice versa. This communication, for instance, may be used to communicate a result of a key press to the computing device 102, receive power from the computing device, perform authentication, provide supplemental power to the computing device 102, and so on. The flexible hinge 106 may be configured in a variety of ways, further discussion of which may be found in relation to the following figure.
The connection portion 202 is flexibly connected to a portion of the input device 104 that includes the keys through use of the flexible hinge 106. Thus, when the connection portion 202 is physically connected to the computing device the combination of the connection portion 202 and the flexible hinge 106 supports movement of the input device 104 in relation to the computing device 102 that is similar to a hinge of a book.
For example, rotational movement may be supported by the flexible hinge 106 such that the input device 104 may be placed against the display device 110 of the computing device 102 and thereby act as a cover. The input device 104 may also be rotated so as to be disposed against a back of the computing device 102, e.g., against a rear housing of the computing device 102 that is disposed opposite the display device 110 on the computing device 102.
Naturally, a variety of other orientations are also supported. For instance, the computing device 102 and input device 104 may assume an arrangement such that both are laid flat against a surface as shown in
The connecting portion 202 is illustrated in this example as including magnetic coupling devices 204, 206, mechanical coupling protrusions 208, 210, and a plurality of communication contacts 212. The magnetic coupling devices 204, 206 are configured to magnetically couple to complementary magnetic coupling devices of the computing device 102 through use of one or more magnets. In this way, the input device 104 may be physically secured to the computing device 102 through use of magnetic attraction.
The connecting portion 202 also includes mechanical coupling protrusions 208, 210 to form a mechanical physical connection between the input device 104 and the computing device 102. The mechanical coupling protrusions 208, 210 are shown in greater detail in the following figure.
The mechanical coupling protrusions 208, 210 are configured to be received within complimentary cavities within the channel of the computing device 102. When so received, the mechanical coupling protrusions 208, 210 promote a mechanical binding between the devices when forces are applied that are not aligned with an axis that is defined as correspond to the height of the protrusions and the depth of the cavity.
For example, when a force is applied that does coincide with the longitudinal axis described previously that follows the height of the protrusions and the depth of the cavities, a user overcomes the force applied by the magnets solely to separate the input device 104 from the computing device 102. However, at other angles the mechanical coupling protrusion 208, 210 are configured to mechanically bind within the cavities, thereby creating a force to resist removal of the input device 104 from the computing device 102 in addition to the magnetic force of the magnetic coupling devices 204, 206. In this way, the mechanical coupling protrusions 208, 210 may bias the removal of the input device 104 from the computing device 102 to mimic tearing a page from a book and restrict other attempts to separate the devices.
The connecting portion 202 is also illustrated as including a plurality of communication contacts 212. The plurality of communication contacts 212 is configured to contact corresponding communication contacts of the computing device 102 to form a communicative coupling between the devices. The communication contacts 212 may be configured in a variety of ways, such as through formation using a plurality of spring loaded pins that are configured to provide a consistent communication contact between the input device 104 and the computing device 102. Therefore, the communication contact may be configured to remain during minor movement of jostling of the devices. A variety of other examples are also contemplated, including placement of the pins on the computing device 102 and contacts on the input device 104.
The flexible contact layer 402 in this example includes a force sensitive ink 410 disposed on a surface of the flexible contact layer 402 that is configured to contact the sensor substrate 404. The force sensitive ink 410 is configured such that an amount of resistance of the ink varies directly in relation to an amount of pressure applied. The force sensitive ink 410, for instance, may be configured with a relatively rough surface that is compressed against the sensor substrate 404 upon an application of pressure against the flexible contact layer 402. The greater the amount of pressure, the more the force sensitive ink 410 is compressed, thereby increasing conductivity and decreasing resistance of the force sensitive ink 410. Other conductors may also be disposed on the flexible contact layer 402 without departing form the spirit and scope therefore, including other types of pressure sensitive and non-pressure sensitive conductors.
The sensor substrate 404 includes a one or more conductors 412 disposed thereon that are configured to be contacted by the force sensitive ink 410 of the flexible contact layer 402. When contacted, an analog signal may be generated for processing by the input device 104 and/or the computing device 102, e.g., to recognize whether the signal is likely intended by a user to provide an input for the computing device 102. A variety of different types of conductors 412 may be disposed on the sensor substrate 404, such as formed from a variety of conductive materials (e.g., silver, copper), disposed in a variety of different configurations such as inter-digitated trace fingers, support use of a single conductor, and so on.
This flexibility permits a relatively large area of the flexible contact layer 402, and thus the force sensitive ink 410, to contact the conductors 412 of the sensor substrate 404. Thus, a relatively strong signal may be generated. Further, because the flexibility of the flexible contact layer 402 is relatively high at this location, a relatively large amount of the force may be transferred through the flexible contact layer 402, thereby applying this pressure to the force sensitive ink 410. As previously described, this increase in pressure may cause a corresponding increase in conductivity of the force sensitive ink and decrease in resistance of the ink. Thus, the relatively high amount of flexibility of the flexible contact layer at the first location may cause a relatively stronger signal to be generated in comparison with other locations of the flexible contact layer 402 that located closer to an edge of the key, an example of which is described in relation to the following figure.
This reduced flexibility may cause a reduction in an area of the flexible contact layer 402, and thus the force sensitive ink 410, that contacts the conductors 412 of the sensor substrate 404. Thus, a signal produced at the second location may be weaker than a signal produced at the first location of
Further, because the flexibility of the flexible contact layer 402 is relatively low at this location, a relatively low amount of the force may be transferred through the flexible contact layer 402, thereby reducing the amount of pressure transmitted to the force sensitive ink 410. As previously described, this decrease in pressure may cause a corresponding decrease in conductivity of the force sensitive ink and increase in resistance of the ink in comparison with the first location of
However, as previously described adhesive used to secure the flexible contact layer 402 with the spacer layer 406 may be arranged (e.g., patterned) to promote flexibility of the flexible contact layer 402 at desired locations of the key, further discussion of which may be found in relation to the following figure.
In the illustrated example, a first securing portion 712 is illustrated as disposed proximal to the first edge 702 of the opening 710. Likewise, second, third, and fourth securing portions 714, 716, 718 are illustrated as disposed proximal to respective second, third, and fourth edges 704, 706, 708 of the opening 710. The securing portions may be configured in a variety of ways, such as through use of an adhesive, mechanical securing device (e.g., pins), and so on. Furthermore, securing portions maybe configured without adhesive and only provide structure integrity. For example, the structural support and/or adhesive may be applied as a series of dots or other shapes to the spacer layer 406 which is then contacted (e.g., pressed) to the flexible contact layer 402.
Regardless of the technique used to secure the flexible contact layer 402 to the spacer layer 406, flexibility may be configured as desired by permitting portions of the flexible contact layer 402 along the edge of the opening to remain unsecured. For instance, the first and second securing portions 714, 716 may define sole areas at which the flexible contact layer 402 is secured to the spacer layer 406 along the respective first and second edges 702, 704. Therefore, flexibility of the flexible contact layer 402 may decrease as a distance between a point of contact of the pressure and a securing portion decreases similar to the edge discussion of
However, the reverse is also true in that flexibility increases the further away pressure is applied from the securing portions. Thus, flexibility along the edges of the opening 710 may be increased by including portions along an edge at which the flexible contact layer 402 is not secured (proximally) to the spacer layer 406. Thus, different arrangements of how the flexible contact layer 402 is secured to the spacer layer 404 may be used to support different amounts of flexibility at different locations of the flexible contact layer 402.
For example, as illustrated the first and second securing portions 712, 714 are located closer together than the first and third securing portions 712, 716. Accordingly, points (e.g., a midpoint) between the first and third securing portions 712, 716 may have greater flexibility than corresponding points (e.g., a midpoint) between the first and second securing portions 712, 714. In this way, a designer may configure the flexible contact surface 402 to increase or decrease flexibility at particular locations as desired.
In the example 800 of
For example, as shown the arrangements of support structure for respective keys in the home row (e.g., keys 43-55) is different than arrangements of support structure for a row of keys in the next lower row, e.g., keys 56-67. This may be performed to address “where” a key is likely to be pressed, such as at a center or particular one of the four sides of the key. This may also be performed to address “how” a key a likely to be pressed, such as using a pad of a finger as opposed to a user's fingernail, which finger of a user is likely to press the key, and so on. Thus, as illustrated in the example adhesive layer 900 of
The spacer layer 900 in this example is also illustrated as forming first and second pressure equalization devices 902, 904. In this example, support structure and/or adhesive is disposed to leave channels formed between the support structure and/or adhesive. Thus, the support structure and/or adhesive defines the channels that form the device. The channels are configured to connect openings 710 formed as part of the pressure sensitive keys between the flexible contact layer 402 and the sensor substrate 404 to an outside environment of the input device 104.
In this way, air may move between the outside environment and the openings through the channels to generally equalize the air pressure, which may help prevent damage to the input device 104, e.g., when faced with reduced air pressure in an airplane. In one or more implementations, the channels may be formed as a labyrinth having a plurality of bends to protect against outside contaminants from passing through the pressure equalization devices 902, 904 to the openings 710. In the illustrated example, the pressure equalization devices 902, 904 are disposed as part of a palm rest of the spacer layer to leverage available space to form longer channels and thus further protect against contamination. Naturally, a wide variety of other examples and locations are also contemplated without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
In this example, a layer (e.g., below the sensor substrate 202) is not configured as a “full bleed adhesive sheet,” but instead is a square matrix of adhesive patches that bind the consecutive layers together. This allows easier assembly and eliminates air entrapment between layers. In this way, multiple layers may be bonded together through adhesive construction to achieve thin profile, stiffness, and allow internal electronics nesting of components.
Example System and Device
The example computing device 1002 as illustrated includes a processing system 1004, one or more computer-readable media 1006, and one or more I/O interface 1008 that are communicatively coupled, one to another. Although not shown, the computing device 1002 may further include a system bus or other data and command transfer system that couples the various components, one to another. A system bus can include any one or combination of different bus structures, such as a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, a universal serial bus, and/or a processor or local bus that utilizes any of a variety of bus architectures. A variety of other examples are also contemplated, such as control and data lines.
The processing system 1004 is representative of functionality to perform one or more operations using hardware. Accordingly, the processing system 1004 is illustrated as including hardware element 1010 that may be configured as processors, functional blocks, and so forth. This may include implementation in hardware as an application specific integrated circuit or other logic device formed using one or more semiconductors. The hardware elements 1010 are not limited by the materials from which they are formed or the processing mechanisms employed therein. For example, processors may be comprised of semiconductor(s) and/or transistors (e.g., electronic integrated circuits (ICs)). In such a context, processor-executable instructions may be electronically-executable instructions.
The computer-readable storage media 1006 is illustrated as including memory/storage 1012. The memory/storage 1012 represents memory/storage capacity associated with one or more computer-readable media. The memory/storage component 1012 may include volatile media (such as random access memory (RAM)) and/or nonvolatile media (such as read only memory (ROM), Flash memory, optical disks, magnetic disks, and so forth). The memory/storage component 1012 may include fixed media (e.g., RAM, ROM, a fixed hard drive, and so on) as well as removable media (e.g., Flash memory, a removable hard drive, an optical disc, and so forth). The computer-readable media 1006 may be configured in a variety of other ways as further described below.
Input/output interface(s) 1008 are representative of functionality to allow a user to enter commands and information to computing device 1002, and also allow information to be presented to the user and/or other components or devices using various input/output devices. Examples of input devices include a keyboard, a cursor control device (e.g., a mouse), a microphone, a scanner, touch functionality (e.g., capacitive or other sensors that are configured to detect physical touch), a camera (e.g., which may employ visible or non-visible wavelengths such as infrared frequencies to recognize movement as gestures that do not involve touch), and so forth. Examples of output devices include a display device (e.g., a monitor or projector), speakers, a printer, a network card, tactile-response device, and so forth. Thus, the computing device 1002 may be configured in a variety of ways to support user interaction.
The computing device 1002 is further illustrated as being communicatively and physically coupled to an input device 1014 that is physically and communicatively removable from the computing device 1002. In this way, a variety of different input devices may be coupled to the computing device 1002 having a wide variety of configurations to support a wide variety of functionality. In this example, the input device 1014 includes one or more keys 1016, which may be configured as pressure sensitive keys, mechanically switched keys, and so forth.
The input device 1014 is further illustrated as include one or more modules 1018 that may be configured to support a variety of functionality. The one or more modules 1018, for instance, may be configured to process analog and/or digital signals received from the keys 1016 to determine whether a keystroke was intended, determine whether an input is indicative of resting pressure, support authentication of the input device 1014 for operation with the computing device 1002, and so on.
Various techniques may be described herein in the general context of software, hardware elements, or program modules. Generally, such modules include routines, programs, objects, elements, components, data structures, and so forth that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The terms “module,” “functionality,” and “component” as used herein generally represent software, firmware, hardware, or a combination thereof.

“Computer-readable signal media” may refer to a signal-bearing medium that is configured to transmit instructions to the hardware of the computing device 1002, such as via a network. Signal media typically may embody computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal, such as carrier waves, data signals, or other transport mechanism. Signal media also include any information delivery media. The term “modulated data signal” means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media include wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared, and other wireless media.
As previously described, hardware elements 1010 and computer-readable media 1006 are representative of modules, programmable device logic and/or fixed device logic implemented in a hardware form that may be employed in some embodiments to implement at least some aspects of the techniques described herein, such as to perform one or more instructions. Hardware may include components of an integrated circuit or on-chip system, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and other implementations in silicon or other hardware.

Combinations of the foregoing may also be employed to implement various techniques described herein. Accordingly, software, hardware, or executable modules may be implemented as one or more instructions and/or logic embodied on some form of computer-readable storage media and/or by one or more hardware elements 1010. The computing device 1002 may be configured to implement particular instructions and/or functions corresponding to the software and/or hardware modules. Accordingly, implementation of a module that is executable by the computing device 1002 as software may be achieved at least partially in hardware, e.g., through use of computer-readable storage media and/or hardware elements 1010 of the processing system 1004. The instructions and/or functions may be executable/operable by one or more articles of manufacture (for example, one or more computing devices 1002 and/or processing systems 1004) to implement techniques, modules, and examples described herein.
