  • Patent number: 11899857
    Abstract: A touchpad module includes a base plate, a touch member, a supporting structure and a pressure sensing unit. The touch member is movable toward the base plate. The supporting structure is arranged between the base plate and the touch member. The pressure sensing unit is installed on the touch member. The pressure sensing unit is arranged between the touch member and the base plate. While the touch member is pressed in response to an external pressing force, the touch member is moved downwardly toward the base plate to compress the supporting structure. Consequently, the supporting structure is subjected to deformation, and the touch member has a displacement amount. According to the displacement amount, a magnitude of the pressing force is sensed by the pressure sensing unit, and a pressure sensing signal is outputted from the pressure sensing unit.

  • Patent number: 11726584
    Abstract: A touchpad module includes a base plate, a touch member, plural supporting elements, plural pressure sensing units and a feedback generation element. The base plate includes a plate body and plural elastic arms. The plural elastic arms are formed on the plate body. The plural supporting elements are arranged between the base plate and the touch member, and aligned with the corresponding elastic arms. While the touch member is moved toward the base plate, the plural supporting elements are move downwardly with the touch member to press the corresponding elastic arms. Consequently, the plural elastic arms are subjected to deformation. If the deformation amount of at least one of the plural elastic arms reaches a threshold value, the corresponding pressure sensing unit issues a pressure sensing signal. The feedback generation element generates a haptics feedback effect in response to the pressure sensing signal.
