The combined touch input module having a touchpad module and a tablet module conducts a handwriting mode and a cursor mode for the keyboard apparatus. According to one of the embodiments, a keyboard controller for processing and transferring keystroke signals is included. The keyboard controller also performs the interpretation of the signals generated in the touch input module, which is integrated into the keyboard for providing both touching and handwriting functions. Further, a mode switching circuit, in response to user's operation, is used to switch the touch input module to the handwriting mode or the cursor mode. A micro controller within the touch input module is included to process the input signals generated by the touchpad and tablet modules. |
