Abstract: A touchpad module includes a touch member, a base plate, a supporting element and a switch. The touch member includes a first touch region and a second touch region. The base plate is located under the touch member. The supporting element is arranged between the touch member and the base plate. The supporting element is aligned with the second touch region. The switch is arranged between the touch member and the base plate. The switch is aligned with the second touch region. When a pressing force is applied to the second touch region of the touch member, the pressing force is transmitted to the base plate through the supporting element. Consequently, the base plate is subjected to deformation. The switch is triggered in response to the deformation of the base plate.

Abstract: A touch feedback correction method and a touch module using the touch feedback correction method are provided. In the touch feedback correction method, the coordinate values and the initial vibration values of plural press region on a touch panel of the touch module are detected. Consequently, a driving voltage calibration table is established. Then, a vibrating unit of the touch module is driven according to plural compensated voltage values of the driving voltage calibration table. Consequently, the plural press regions generate plural corrected vibration values, respectively.

Abstract: A force touch judgement method is applied to a force touch pad with two force sensors. Firstly, a force touch operation corresponding to a real force value is performed on a force touch position. Then, a first sensing signal value and a second sensing signal value corresponding to the force touch operation are respectively generated by the two force sensors. Then, the first sensing signal value and the second sensing signal value are added as a total sensing signal value. A calibration force value corresponding to the force touch position is obtained. A first calibration signal value and a second calibration signal value corresponding to the force touch position are added as a total calibration signal value. A ratio of the total sensing signal value to the total calibration signal value is equal to a ratio of the real force value to the calibration force value.

Abstract: A touchpad module includes a base plate, a touch member, plural supporting elements, plural pressure sensing units and a feedback generation element. The base plate includes a plate body and plural elastic arms. The plural elastic arms are formed on the plate body. The plural supporting elements are arranged between the base plate and the touch member, and aligned with the corresponding elastic arms. While the touch member is moved toward the base plate, the plural supporting elements are move downwardly with the touch member to press the corresponding elastic arms. Consequently, the plural elastic arms are subjected to deformation. If the deformation amount of at least one of the plural elastic arms reaches a threshold value, the corresponding pressure sensing unit issues a pressure sensing signal. The feedback generation element generates a haptics feedback effect in response to the pressure sensing signal.
