Abstract:
1. An input device for a multiplex control signal, comprising: a touch control unit, for generating one or more first control signal(s) corresponding to a touch state of one or more input position(s); a mechanical control unit, overlapped with the touch control unit at the input position(s), having one or more button(s), the button(s) corresponding to the input position(s) respectively, each of the button for generating a second control signal corresponding to a press state of the corresponding input position; and an output control unit, electrically connected to the touch control unit and the mechanical control unit, for determining output of the first control signal and the second control signal from the same input position according to a time parameter; wherein when the output control unit receives the first control signal and the second control from the same input position within the time parameter, the output control unit outputs the received second control signal; when the output control unit merely receives the first control signal from the same input position within the time parameter, the output control unit outputs the received first control signal.
