Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 1, it illustrates a kind of mobile computer according to an embodiment of the present invention.Mobile computer 100 is made up of main frame 104 and display 102.Each pivot module 106 of one is articulated on the main frame 104 about display 102 mats, makes display 102 to fit thereon with respect to main frame 102 swings or presss from both sides a certain angle.The screen 102a that display 102 has Presentation Function at least uses output information and watches for the user.Main frame 104 has keyboard 104a at least and the cursor control module is used the input information for the user.In the present embodiment, the angle between main frame 104 and the display 102 can be in order to the power switch of control display 102, the function whether main frame 104 enters sleep or dormant state or other demand etc.Following embodiment reaches this purpose means and method with explanation.
Please refer to Fig. 2, it illustrates the pivot structure according to a kind of mobile computer of an embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, pivot module comprises first pivot member 109 and second pivot member 106.First pivot member 109 is fixed on the housing 104b of main frame 104 with its screw 109c.Partly be socketed in the middle of second pivot member 106 in the through hole 109b of upright plate 109a of first pivot member 109.One end 106b of second pivot member 106 can use screw to lock on the locking frame 102c of display by its screw of mat 106c.Locking frame 102c has two screw 102e that arrange down and corresponds to two screw 106c, uses for securing to second pivot member 106.Locking frame 102c has screw 102d in addition in order on the housing that is locked in screen.State such as Fig. 2 B that locking frame 102c secures to second pivot member 106 illustrate.The other end 106a of second pivot member 106 has the web member 107 in a word cross section.By the design of above-mentioned pivot module as can be known, display 102 can mat second pivot member 106 and first pivot member, 109 rotation relations with respect to main frame 102 swings.
In the present embodiment, it is other that angle detection device 108 is installed in second pivot member 106, uses measuring the rotational angle of second pivot member 106 with respect to first pivot member 109, in other words, uses the angle that measures between main frame 104 and the display 102.Angle detection device 108 is a voltage divider, and its dividing potential drop output is adjusted in the rotation of mat second pivot member 106, and then measures the rotational angle of second pivot member 106.Voltage divider can be one to have the rotary variable resistor of three electrodes, and have a rotating part 108a for rotation to adjust resistance value.The end face of rotating part 108a has a word groove, can insert for a word cross section of web member 107, makes that rotating part 108a is able to rotate simultaneously with second pivot member 106.When angle detection device 108 with can be installed in the fixture 110 after second pivot member 106 is connected, the state of its combination such as Fig. 2 A illustrate.Wherein two electrodes of angle detection device 108 are connected to a fixed voltage value (for example 3V), and when resistance change, the 3rd electrode will be exported different magnitude of voltage (for example 0～3V)." angle between main frame 104 and the display 102 " and resistance value can be linear proportional relations.Therefore when the angle between main frame 104 and the display 102 was big more, resistance value will be big more, and the magnitude of voltage of output is also big more.The different magnitudes of voltage that angle detection device 108 is not exported simultaneously because of above-mentioned angle can below will illustrate the details of its application in order to start different function on the mobile computer.
Please refer to Fig. 3, it illustrates a kind of functional block diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention.The application of the different magnitudes of voltage of not exported simultaneously because of angle with regard to above-mentioned angle detection device 108, roughly calcspar illustrates thus.Controller 112 is electrically connected to angle detection device 108 and uses and read the different magnitudes of voltage that angle is not exported simultaneously.Controller 112 also with thinking different angle (angle between main frame and the display), judges and sends the order of execution.As for the setting of corner dimension, can in be built in the controller 112 or the user by 116 inputs of angle initialization module.Angle initialization module 116 can be the application program of a software, use for the user sets " under what angle, what be done? "For example, the user can set " 50 close the backlight of display when spending ", and when the angle between main frame and the display is 50 when spending, controller 112 can read corresponding voltage value, and gives an order and make display 102 close its backlight.For example, the user also can set when spending " 30 enter sleep pattern ", and when the angle between main frame and the display is 30 when spending, controller 112 can read corresponding voltage value, and gives an order and make operating system 114 enter the operating state of sleep pattern.Above-mentioned several application mode though only give an example in the present embodiment, those skilled in the art can develop other different application with " main frame is different with the angle between the display ", uses to allow user's Operational Note type computing machine more easily.
By the invention described above embodiment as can be known, use the present invention in the innovative design of mobile computer, utilize rotary variable resistor to replace traditional button or magnetic red formula switch, solved known can only be when display fits in main frame angle or action could starting switch restriction.When display rotated with respect to main frame, rotary variable resistor can produce change in resistance, saw through bleeder circuit again and can calculate " angle between main frame and the display " by controller.Moreover, the user also can see through application program go set " under what angle, what be done? ", allow " angle is different between main frame and the display " can have more extensions to use.
Though the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; right its is not in order to limiting the present invention, anyly is familiar with this technician, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can being used for a variety of modifications and variations, so protection scope of the present invention is when being as the criterion according to the content that claim defined.
