Definitions

  • the subject matter herein generally relates to mobile devices and in particular, to keypads for mobile devices.
  • a keypad assembly is an important component of a mobile device because it can be used to enter letters, numbers, or signs, and to produce actions or commands.
  • a keypad assembly generally includes a main printed circuit board (PCB), a dome sheet carrying a plurality of dome switches (domes) disposed on the main PCB, and a keypad having keys on the front side and corresponding actuators on the back side. When a key is pressed, the actuator collapses the corresponding dome, which connects the circuit on the PCB and produces the intended action of the key.
  • PCB main printed circuit board
  • dome sheet carrying a plurality of dome switches (domes) disposed on the main PCB
  • a keypad having keys on the front side and corresponding actuators on the back side.
  • FEP film-in-plastic
  • PC polycarbonate
  • the mobile device 100 can include a housing 110, a display 120, and a keypad 130.
  • the keypad 130 can include a keyfield having alphanumeric keys arranged in a keyboard layout, numeric keys, and other function keys.
  • the keypad 130 can be of various styles, including the FIP style keypad as discussed below.
  • the mobile device 100 is a handheld wireless communication device, the mobile device 100 can be any of the following: a personal digital assistant (PDA), a handheld electronic device, a non-handheld wireless communication device, a pager, a cellular phone, a cellular smart-phone, a wireless organizer, a wirelessly enabled notebook computer and the like. It is understood that the mobile device 100 is not necessarily limited to the configurations shown in FIG. 1 .
  • a user interface which can include the display 120 and the keypad 130.
  • the operating system 232 is stored in flash memory 226, the operating system 232 in other embodiments is stored in read-only memory (ROM) or a similar storage element (not shown).
  • ROM read-only memory
  • the operating system 232, the device program 234 or parts thereof can be loaded in RAM 224 or some other volatile memory.
  • the mobile device 100 When the mobile device 100 is enabled for two-way communication within the wireless communication network 214, it can send and receive messages from a mobile communication service.
  • Examples of communication systems enabled for two-way communication can include, but are not limited to, the General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service (UMTS) network, the Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE) network, the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) networks, Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service Time Division Duplexing (UMTS-TDD), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) networks, Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) networks, Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks and other networks that can be used for data and voice, or just data or voice.
  • GPRS General Packet Radio Service
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service
  • EDGE Enhanced Data for Global Evolution
  • CDMA Code Division Multiple Access
  • UMTS-TDD Universal Mobile Telecommunication Service Time Division
  • the mobile device 100 can require a unique identifier to enable the mobile device 100 to transmit and receive messages from the communication network 214. Other systems may not require such identifying information.
  • SIM Subscriber Identity Module
  • RUIM Removable User Identity Module
  • the RUIM and SIM card can be used in multiple different mobile devices 100.
  • the mobile device 100 can be able to operate some features without a SIM/RUIM card.
  • a SIM/RUIM interface 244 located within the mobile device 100 can allow for removal or insertion of a SIM/RUIM card (not shown).
  • the SIM/RUIM card can feature memory and can hold key configurations 246, and other information 248, such as identification and subscriber related information. With a properly enabled mobile device 100, two-way communication between the mobile device 100 and communication network 214 is possible.
  • the keypad sheet 300 can be part of a keypad that can be implemented in the mobile device 100 of FIG. 1 , although it is understood that the keypad sheet 300 can be assembled into other suitable components.
  • the keypad sheet 300 can be made from a film such as a PC film.
  • a plurality of raised keys 305 can be thermo formed on a front side of the keypad sheet 300.
  • a plurality of actuators 310 can be formed by injection molding them on a back side of the keypad sheet 300.
  • the actuators 310 can be formed into each key pocket 315 of a corresponding key 305 and protrude from the back side of the keypad sheet 300.
  • the actuators 310 after the keypad is installed into a mobile device, can contact domes (not shown here) and cause them to collapse when the keys 305 are pressed to allow any inputs to be entered into the mobile device.
  • the keymat layer 400 can be a layer of flexible material - such as, for example, silicon rubber - that can be molded onto the back side of the keypad sheet 300.
  • the keypad sheet 300 and the keymat layer 400 together form the keypad 500.
  • the keymat layer 400 can be formed with a plurality of protrusions 410 (see FIG. 5 ) in areas corresponding to the actuators 310 on the back side of the keypad sheet 300. As best shown in FIG.
  • the keymat layer 400 can include a plurality of receptacles 420 that can accept the actuators 310 of the keypad sheet 300. This configuration can help secure the keypad sheet 300 to the keymat layer 400.
  • the keymat layer 400 can have a larger thickness in areas corresponding to the actuators 310 than in areas between the keys 305.
  • the thickness of the protrusions 410 can be selected so that the protrusions 410 can fill a gap between the actuators 310 and the domes (not shown here) when the keypad 500 is assembled within a mobile device. Since the keymat layer 400 is made of flexible material, the protrusions 410 can be slightly depressed following assembly so as to apply a pre-load force to the domes.
  • Portions of the mobile device 100 and supporting components can take the form of hardware elements, software elements or elements containing both hardware and software.
  • the software portions can include, but are not limited to, firmware, resident software, microcode, etc.
  • these software portions can take the form of a computer program product accessible from a computer-usable or computer-readable medium providing program code for use by or in connection with a computer or any instruction execution system.
  • a computer-usable or computer readable medium can be any apparatus that can contain, store, communicate, propagate, or transport the program for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device.
