Abstract: Provided herein are a pin sharing circuit, a pin sharing method and an electronic device, an electronic wire using the same. The pin sharing circuit enables at least one pin on an integrated circuit to be shared by a keyboard device and a touch panel and prevents signal interference between the keyboard device and the touch panel using an impedance element disposed on a wire for the pin, such that the pin can output or receive a stimulation signal and a sensor signal that contain both an AC component and a DC component so as to enhance the efficiency of the overall system and prevent the stimulation signal and the sensor signal from conflicts between the keyboard device and the touch panel.

Abstract: An object positioning method for touch panel is disclosed. In the method, an amount of sensing of a sensing signal can be detected and a sensing coordinate of an object can be obtained based on the detection. A positioning coordinate of the object can be locked in a point-locked mode when the amount of sensing of the sensing signal decreases continuously to be larger than a first threshold time and the amount of sensing of the sensing signal is smaller than a first sensing threshold value. Otherwise, the point-locked mode of the positioning coordinate of the object can be unlocked when the amount of sensing of the sensing signal is larger than a first sensing threshold value.

Abstract: A smart device having ability for rejecting mistaken touching is illustrated, which comprises a capacitive button module which comprises a contacting layer, a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer and an elastic layer. A first electrode of the first electrode layer and a second electrode of the second electrode layer form a first inductive capacitor, and the second electrode and a third electrode of the second electrode layer form a second inductive capacitor. When the elastic layer receives a pressure and generates a deformation, a pressing signal is generated according to a capacitance variation of the first inductive capacitor. When a conductor is close to or in contact with the contacting layer, a moving signal is generated according to a capacitance variation of the second inductive capacitor.

Abstract: A mechanical key component and a mechanical keyboard are provided. The mechanical key component includes a circuit board, an elastic element and a key cap. The circuit board is provided with a first sensing electrode. The elastic element is disposed on the circuit board, and a movable portion of the elastic element is connected to a second sensing electrode. The key cap is movably disposed on the elastic element. The elastic element enables the key cap to move between an unpressed position and a pressed position, and the movable portion drives the second sensing electrode to move relative to the first sensing electrode. In response to the key cap being moved between the unpressed position and the pressed position, a coupling capacitance between the first sensing electrode and the second sensing electrode changes to indicate whether the key cap is in the unpressed position or the pressed position.
