Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a keyboard having a multi-touch panel function, and particularly to a keyboard device incorporating a touch mouse cursor control function. [Previous technology] [0002] The keyboard and mouse device are basic peripheral devices for driving and controlling in a prior art computer system, wherein the keyboard is an input function corresponding to a computer system, and a plurality of buttons are provided to provide user correspondence. The input signals of different characters are input, and the mouse provides the user with the relative displacement of the cursor in the computer system by the movement of the position, and the prior art provides a complete through the two peripheral devices. Computer system input function. [0003] However, with the advancement of technology, people are pursuing the high convenience of electronic products, so electronic devices tend to be lighter, thinner and smaller in design focus, since then, such as touch panels, touch Keyboards, touch-sensitive mice, and other products with high convenience and space reduction are constantly derived. However, after all, the interface between keyboard input and mouse cursor input function is still separated by two kinds of functions. The peripheral devices are separately controlled. Currently, in the prior art control peripheral devices, there is no design that can combine the two control functions into one electronic peripheral device, which also means that the electronic peripheral device for the operation interface cannot be used. It is a pity that it is simplified, in order to achieve a lighter weight, thinner and smaller design. Therefore, based on the above reasons, the inventor of the present invention contemplates and designs a keyboard with multi-touch panel function, in view of the prior art. The lack of it is improved to enhance the implementation and utilization of the industry. 099123368 Form No. 1010101 Page 4 of 11 0992041157-0 201203016 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the main object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard with multi-touch panel function, in order to overcome Difficulties in the prior art. [0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical means adopted by the present invention is to design a keyboard with a multi-touch panel function, which comprises: [0006] a body which is a keyboard and has a plurality of thereon And a touch area corresponding to the plurality of adjacent ones of the plurality of keys; and a plurality of touch units, which are sensible users The electronic component of the electronic signal corresponding to the position change is sent to the top surface of each of the keys covered in the touch area, and the touch units are continuous with each other. The combination is a touch operation interface for controlling the mouse cursor by sensing the user's contact. [0007] wherein the surface of the touch area has a different .1 -: . . . color color; and wherein the surface of the touch area has a different portion from the body:; Material. [0008] The touch-type multi-touch panel interface is further divided into a plurality of key top surfaces of the plurality of touch panel interfaces to form a control cursor cursor. The block of the continuous touch operation interface allows the user to use the sliding of the finger on the top surface of the buttons to achieve the purpose of controlling the displacement of the mouse cursor in the computer operating system, and also The keyboard device and the mouse device function in the prior art are integrated into a single keyboard, which is a relatively advantageous implementation method for the lightness of the computer device and the thinness and smallness of 099123368.
