Abstract:
1. A keyboard capable of switching interfaces, which is electrically connected with an external device, comprising: a key set module including a plurality of keys depressible by users; a circuit unit which is triggered by depression of the keys to generate a message signal and includes a micro-control unit to perform signal processing and output the message signal; a wired transmission interface with one side electrically connected to the micro-control unit and another side electrically connected to the external device through a transmission cable to output the message signal therethrough; a wireless transmission interface electrically connected to the micro-control unit; and a switch unit which is located on the key set module and electrically connected to the micro-control unit, and is activated by manual operation of the user to trigger the micro-control unit to selectively output the message signal to the external device through the wired transmission interface or through the wireless transmission interface; and a charge unit electrically connected to the wired transmission interface and a battery module built in the keyboard and electrically connected to the charge unit, wherein the wired transmission interface receives external power via the transmission cable and supplies the power to the charge unit, and wherein the charge unit charges the battery module through the received external power so that the battery module supplies the power required by the keyboard when the wireless transmission interface is activated.
