1 vv A 更進—步來說’於觸控板模式下，處理器⑵係致 月匕工板122 ’使得觸控板122可於被觸碰時來產生訊號， 訊號例如可經由連接埠123來傳送至機體1〇1。另外，處 理益巧係禁能位移感卿124及無線通訊模組⑽，以 避免誤操作的情況。再者，儲電單元127係經由連接埠123 接收來自機體101之電源，以進行充電。如此-來，當指 向震置12G與機體ιοί分離時，係可具有充足的 行操作。1 vv A is further advanced - step by step, in the touchpad mode, the processor (2) is caused by the moonboard 122" so that the touchpad 122 can generate a signal when touched, for example, the signal can be connected via the port 123 To transfer to the body 1〇1. In addition, the handling of the benefits is to disable the displacement of the Sensation 124 and the wireless communication module (10) to avoid misuse. Furthermore, the power storage unit 127 receives power from the body 101 via the port 123 for charging. In this way, when the pointing 12G is separated from the body ιοί, the line can have sufficient row operations.
為了提供更便利的操作方式，在難板模式下，致能 之觸控板122可具有擬滾輪區A11及通用操控區Al2 (第 1A圖中之斜線區域）。通用操控區M2用以提供一般之觸 控板的功能。擬滾輪區A11用以提供滑鼠之滾輪的功能， 例如是移動游標或更替瀏覽頁面。 如第1B圖及第ic圖所示，當連接埠123係未電性連 接於機體101時，處理器125係使觸控板122、位移感測 器124、無線通訊模組126及儲電單元127操作於滑鼠模 式下。更進一步來說，於滑鼠模式下，處理器125係致能 觸控板122之擬滑鼠功能區A2、位移感測器124及無線通 訊模組126，且禁能觸控板122之握持區A3 (第1β圖中 之斜線區域）。如此一來，擬滑鼠功能區A1及位移感測器 124感測到使用者之操作而產生的訊號係可藉由無線通訊 模組126傳送到機體1〇1。於本實施例中，無線通訊模組 126可例如是一藍牙模組。禁能之握持區A3可供使用者握 持。另外，指向裝置120係藉由儲電單元127提供的電源In order to provide a more convenient operation mode, in the hard board mode, the enabled touch panel 122 may have a pseudo wheel area A11 and a general control area Al2 (hatched area in Fig. 1A). The universal control zone M2 is used to provide the functionality of a general touch panel. The wheel area A11 is used to provide the function of the mouse wheel, such as moving the cursor or replacing the browsing page. As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. ic, when the connection port 123 is not electrically connected to the body 101, the processor 125 causes the touch panel 122, the displacement sensor 124, the wireless communication module 126, and the power storage unit. 127 operates in mouse mode. Further, in the mouse mode, the processor 125 enables the pseudo mouse function area A2 of the touch panel 122, the displacement sensor 124, and the wireless communication module 126, and disables the grip of the touch panel 122. Hold area A3 (slash area in the 1β map). In this way, the signals generated by the pseudo mouse function area A1 and the displacement sensor 124 sensing the operation of the user can be transmitted to the body 1〇1 by the wireless communication module 126. In this embodiment, the wireless communication module 126 can be, for example, a Bluetooth module. The disabled holding area A3 is available for the user to hold. In addition, the pointing device 120 is powered by the power storage unit 127.

In addition, in order to be closer to the habit of operating the mouse in general, in the mouse mode, the enabled pseudo mouse function area A2 may include a pseudo right button area A21, a pseudo left button area A22, and a pseudo wheel area A23. The right button area A21 is used to provide the function of the right button of the mouse. The left button area A22 is used to provide the function of the left button of the mouse, and the wheel area A23 is used to provide the function of the wheel of the mouse. As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the touch panel 122 in this embodiment further has light transmissive areas Apl and Ap2. The light transmitting area Apl is located between the pseudo wheel area All and the universal control area A12, and the light transmitting area Ap2 is located between the pseudo mouse function area A2 and the holding area A3. By means of light passing through the transparent areas Apl and Ap2, the user can easily distinguish the position of the wheel area All, the universal control area A12, the simulated mouse function area A2 and the holding area A3, so as to improve the operation convenience. Sex. The light may be provided, for example, by a light source disposed in the body 121. In the case where the pointing device 120 of the present embodiment is, for example, an optical pointing device, the displacement sensor 124 includes a light source for optically sensing the movement of the body 121. In this way, the light source included in the displacement sensor 124 can be used not only to sense the movement of the body 121, but also a part of the light generated by the light source can be emitted outside the body 121 via the light transmitting areas Apl and Ap2, so that the user can distinguish the light. The position of the roller zone All, the universal control zone A12, the pseudo mouse functional zone A2, and the grip zone A3. Although the pointing device 120 of the present embodiment wirelessly transmits signals to the body 101 in the mouse mode, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the pointing device 120 can also be used in the mouse mode. The signal is transmitted to the body 101 in a wired manner. The pointing device disclosed in the above embodiments of the present invention and the notebook computer using the same are operable in the mouse mode and the touchpad mode to provide features that are easy to operate and easy to carry. In addition, in the embodiment, the touch panel can have different enabling areas in the mouse mode and the touchpad mode to improve the convenience of operation in close proximity to the user's usage habits. In view of the above, the present invention has been disclosed in a preferred embodiment, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art having the knowledge of the present invention can make various modifications and retouchings without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
