Intelligent hybrid touch display device

An intelligent hybrid touch display device for implementing an intelligent device, including:

• a touch display unit, including a touch display area for display at least one picture according to a plurality of pixel data;
• a rotary mechanical switch, which is a band switch or a jog dial switch, being integrated with the touch display unit in a body and having at least one conductive contact;
• a control unit, located in the body and including:
• a first interface for driving the touch display area;
• a second interface coupled with the at least one conductive contact;
• a touch and switch detection unit coupled with the first interface and the second interface;
• and a processor, being coupled with the touch and switch detection unit for executing a control program so that the touch display unit and the rotary mechanical switch can cooperate to provide a hybrid operation;
• and
• a central processing unit, located in the body and having a transmission interface and an operating system stored in a memory, the transmission interface being used for communicating with at least one external device in a wired or wireless way;
• wherein the hybrid operation includes a rotation operation provided by the rotary mechanical switch and a touch (or hover) operation provided by the touch display unit, the rotation operation being used for selecting a function option, and the touch (or hover) operation being used for activating the function option;
• and the central processing unit operates with a support of the operating system to transmit the plurality of pixel data and/or the control program to the control unit, generate an output configuration according to the hybrid operation detected by the control unit, and output the output configuration via the transmission interface to control at least one of the at least one external device.
