发明名称 MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE CONSTRUCTION USING FRONT PANELED ASSEMBLY AND COMPONENTS THEREOF
摘要 A computing device includes a processor, a display component, a keypad assembly and a panel. The display component includes a display area that is pressure-sensitive to detect user-contact with the device over the display area. The display component is coupled to signal the processor when contact is detected. The keypad assembly includes a plurality of key structures. Each of the key structures is aligned over a corresponding contact element provided on an electrical contact layer. Each key structure is pressable, and the corresponding contact element of each key structure is triggerable with contact to signal the processor. The panel is provided over the display area to extend between the key structures and the electrical contact layer. The panel is structured so that, when the computing device is operational, (i) a user contact with a region of the panel that overlies the display area is detectable by the display component to signal the processor, and (ii) pressure on any key structure is sufficient to move at least a portion of the panel inward into the corresponding contact element in order to trigger the contact element into signaling the processor.
