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.

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.

Abstract

An electronic device assembly includes a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a first wall body, a first opening, a sliding seat, a first magnetic attraction element, an elastic element and a connecting terminal. When the second wall body is close to the first wall body, the second magnetic attraction element and the first magnetic attraction element are magnetically attracted by each other. Consequently, the sliding seat is moved toward the first wall body, the elastic element is compressed, and the connecting terminal is protruded outside the first opening and contacted with the connector. When the second wall body is separated from the first wall body, the compressed elastic element is restored. Consequently, the sliding seat is moved away from the first wall body and the connecting terminal is retracted inside the first electronic device.

Then, a management module manages the plural papers from two lateral sides of the plural papers. Then, a paper ejection module ejects a first portion of the plural papers at a first speed, and then ejects a second portion of the plural papers at a second speed. Consequently, the plural papers are exited from the paper collection platform. Then, the management module is separated from the two lateral sides of the plural papers, so that the plural papers fall down to a supporting tray. The first speed is faster than the second speed.

A control device includes a display panel and a key structure. The key structure is located over the display panel. The key structure includes a circuit board, a keycap, an elastic element and a conducting element. The circuit board includes a circuit structure. The circuit structure includes a first circuit pattern and a second circuit pattern. The first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern are separated from each other by a gap. The conducting element is disposed on a support part of the elastic element. When the keycap is pressed down, the keycap is moved downwardly to push the support part. After the support part is moved downwardly for a specified travel distance, the conducting element is contacted with the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern. Consequently, the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern are electrically connected with each other.
