Among them, optical touch panels and electronic touch panels are the most common products. In terms of capacitive touch panels, the multi-touch feature provides a more user-friendly operating mode, making the control panel more popular in the market. However, since the capacitive touch panel must be touched by a conductive material to operate the touch panel, it is advantageous to wear gloves or to operate with a non-conductor material. Material * Use ^ Through the finger _ inspection panel gift line operation, the material refers to: ^ The contact area is large, so when the display area is two, 'may cause the finger to touch, so that __ wrong M376816 wasted time. In the case of an optical touch panel, it is arranged in an array using infrared rays and infrared receivers, that is, infrared rays generated by horizontal and vertical red line transmitters. When a shield blocks the transmission of one of the infrared rays, the horizontal axis and the longitudinal axis of the pressing point can be positioned. However, optical touch panels are sensitive to small objects or external disturbances, so users need to use most optical pens for touch. However, when 'I need to perform multi-touch on the optical touch panel, the user needs to use multiple optical pens at the same time, so that the user is inconvenient to use. [New Content] This creation provides an input device for the touch panel, which controls the touch panel. An input device for a touch panel is provided, which includes at least one input and output unit including a finger sleeve, a light-emitting element, and a first open end and a first open end. Wherein - the user's finger is adapted to fit a thunder 1 _ typhoon from the first open end. The triggering component is coupled to the illuminating component and received. The component is disposed in the finger cot. When the triggering component is pressed, the triggering component triggers the illuminating component to scream a light, and controls the touch panel.

Based on the above, the present invention uses a touch panel input device, so that the user can insert the finger sleeve correspondingly on a single finger or a plurality of fingers, and the trigger component triggers when the trigger component is pressed by the user's finger. The light-emitting element generates an optical signal to control the touch panel. In this way, not only can the inconvenience caused by misunderstanding be avoided, but also the user can choose one-touch or multi-touch according to the needs of the user, which can greatly improve the user's convenience in use. 5 M376816 To make the above features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the following embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an input device of a touch panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the figure, in the embodiment, the input device 200 of the touch panel includes at least an input unit 3〇〇, wherein the input unit 300 includes a finger sleeve 310, a light-emitting element 32〇, and a trigger element 33〇. In detail, as shown in FIG. 1, the finger sleeve 31 of the embodiment has a first open end 312 and a second open end 314 with respect to the first open end 312, wherein a user's finger (not drawn The cover is adapted to fit over the finger sleeve 310 from the first open end 312. The light-emitting element 32 is embedded in the second open end 314 of the finger sleeve 31, wherein the light-emitting element 32 has a light-emitting surface 322, and the light-emitting surface 322 is exposed to the outside of the finger sleeve 31. In the present embodiment, the light-emitting element 32 is, for example, a light-emitting diode light source. The triggering element 33() consuming the illuminating element 320 and receiving a power source 'where the triggering element 33 is disposed within the finger cot' and the triggering element 330 is, for example, a flexible circuit board or a film switch. The triggering component 330 is, for example, a flexible circuit board. The two triggering components 33 have a portion of the circuit between the battery 360 and the light-emitting component 32, respectively, and the two triggering components 330 are not in contact with each other. When the two trigger elements 33 are in contact, a complete circuit between the battery 360 and the light-emitting element 32A can be formed, and the battery 360 can be powered to the light-emitting element 32. In addition, the input unit 300 further includes a buffer component = 4 〇, a protection component 3S0 卩, and a battery 360. Specifically, the _ element 34 is disposed between the light-emitting element 320 and the trigger element 33A, wherein the buffer element 34 is, for example, a cushion for buffering the pressure between the light-emitting element 32〇 and the trigger element 33〇. The protective element 350 is disposed within the finger cuff 31〇 adjacent the first open end 312 of the cuff 31〇, and the trigger element 33 is located between the protective element 35〇 and the cushioning element 340. In this embodiment, the protective element 35 is, for example, a soft protective pad for protecting a user's finger (not shown). In addition, battery 360 is used to provide power for use by trigger element 33. FIG. 2 is a perspective schematic view of the input device and the touch panel of the user using the touch panel of the drawing. Referring to FIG. 2, in the embodiment, the input device 200 of the touch panel is suitable for use in an optical touch panel. When the user wants to use the touch panel 100, the user can decide to insert the input unit 2 对应 on a single finger or multiple fingers to determine whether to touch the touch panel 100 by a single touch or more. Touch. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2, the user inserts the input unit 200 ′ correspondingly on the two fingers 10, 20, i.e., the fingers 1 and 20 are respectively inserted into the finger sleeve 310 from the first open end 312. When the protection element 350 in the finger sleeve 310 is pressed by the corresponding finger 1 〇 20, the protection element 350 is deformed to contact the trigger element 330. At this time, the trigger element 330 triggers the illuminating element 32 to generate the optical signal L. 'To control the touch panel 1〇〇. In this way, the user can simply perform multi-touch on the touch panel 1 through the input device 200. Further, when the fingers 10 and 20 do not press the protection element 350, the protection element 35 will automatically return to the original state. shape. It should be noted that in FIG. 2, an input unit 200 is respectively disposed on two fingers 1 〇 and 2 为 as an example, but in other unillustrated M376816 implementations, three fingers or three may also be used. Only one input unit is set on the above fingers. Therefore, FIG. 2 is only an example and is not limited thereto. Of course, in other embodiments not shown, the user can also insert the finger sleeve on only one finger to perform single touch on the touch panel. In this embodiment, the optical signal generated by the light-emitting element 320 is in contact with the touch panel 100, and the contact area between the optical signal L and the touch panel 1 is small, so that the probability of the user being touched can be effectively reduced. In addition, since the user can selectively insert the finger cover 31〇 on a single finger or a plurality of fingers according to the requirements, the touch panel 1 can selectively perform single luke touch or multi-touch. control. As a result, the user's convenience in using the optical touch panel 100 can be greatly improved. In summary, the present application uses the input device of the touch panel, so that the user can insert the finger sleeve correspondingly on a single finger or multiple fingers, and trigger the finger pressing of the 7L party to the user. The triggering component will trigger the illuminating element to generate an optical signal, thereby controlling the touch panel, so as to avoid the inconvenience caused by the accidental touch, the user can also select a single point according to the use requirement. Touch or multi-touch can greatly enhance the user's convenience in use. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and any person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present creation. Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation is subject to the definition of 躺1之®.
