  • Publication number: 20150324197
    Abstract: An input system of macro activation for rapidly activating a pre-recorded macro procedure includes a memory module, an input recognition module, a data processing unit, and a macro-processing unit. The memory module stores at least one recognition sample and a macro-activating command corresponding to the recognition sample. The input recognition module is used to read in a data to be recognized. The data processing unit receives the data to be recognized and determines whether the data to be recognized matches the recognition sample. If the data to be recognized matches the recognition sample, the data processing unit retrieves the macro-activating command from the memory module and issues the macro-activating command to the macro-processing unit, which is connected to the data processing unit. The macro-processing unit performs the pre-recorded macro procedure upon receiving the macro-activating command.

  • Patent number: 9184001
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a main board and at least one key structure positioned on the main board. The key structure includes a key switch and a key cap. The key cap is combined with the key switch. The key switch includes a key base and a shaft movably positioned on the key base. The keycap includes a main body and a cushion member. The main body is positioned on the shaft of the key switch. The main body is spaced apart from the contact surface of the key base. The main body is moved forward and backward relative to the key base with movement of the shaft. The cushion member is positioned at one side of the main body facing the contact surface. While the main body is moved to the contact surface, the cushion member abuts on the contact surface, so as to avoid the main body from hitting the key base directly, and hence minimizing the noise that is produced by the moving parts.
