  • Patent number: 11569050
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a substrate, a plurality of key structures, and an air pump. Each key structure includes a keycap disposed on the substrate, an air bag between the keycap and the substrate, and an electrical contact point between the keycap and the substrate. The airbag deformed when the keycap moves towards the substrate, applying a reaction force onto the substrate, and returns to an original state when the keycap is released. The air pump can adjust an air pressure in the airbag by charging or allowing discharge of air, so as to adjust the force applied by the deformed airbag to the substrate, thereby adjusting a tactile feedback to user for pressing the keycap.

  • Patent number: 10453072
    Abstract: A disassemble monitoring device of an electronic device includes a detecting unit, a one time programmable register, a storage, and a processor. The detecting unit is configured to detect whether the electronic device has been disassembled, and upon detecting that the electronic device has been disassembled, generate a detection signal. The one time programmable register is electrically coupled to the detecting unit and is configured to change a storage value of the one time programmable register in response to the detection signal. The storage value can only be changed once. The processor retrieves the storage value from the one time programmable register in response to a user operation and determines whether the storage value has been changed. Upon determining that the storage value has been changed, the processor confirms a result of determination that the electronic device has been disassembled and outputs the result of determination.
