Claims16
A touch control device comprising:
- a button including a metal complex and having an electrode groove formed therein;
- a signal deliverer arranged in the electrode groove and including a conductive material;
- and
- a substrate having a receiver formed thereon for receiving a signal from the signal deliverer.
A method for controlling a touch control device including a button having a signal deliverer, a substrate with a receiver arranged thereon for receiving information about capacitance from the signal deliverer, an elastic member lying between the button and the substrate, and a controller for analyzing the information of the receiver, wherein the button forms a touch unit with which an input means comes into contact and the button is pressed while supported by the elastic member, the method comprising:
- determining whether an input means has come into contact with the touch control device based on the information about capacitance received by the receiver;
- representing an indication on an indicator to identify that the input means has made a contact if the controller determines that the input means has made the contact;
- and
- executing a pre-stored instruction if it is determined that the input means has made the contact.
