Abstract

A keyboard for outputting a serial number to an identifiable chip of a model is provided. The model is shaped to correspond to one of the character roles, pets, stage artifacts, pieces or equipment in an online game. The keyboard includes a plurality of buttons and a signal-emitting module. The signal-emitting module is electrically connected to the buttons. The buttons are suitable for being pressed to make the signal-emitting module generate a serial number signal, and then the serial number signal is input to the identifiable chip through the signal-emitting module.

Claims

1. A keyboard suitable for outputting a serial number signal to an identifiable chip of a model, wherein the model is fabricated into a shape resembling one of character roles, pets, stage artifacts, pieces or equipment of an online game, comprising:

a plurality of buttons; and

a signal-emitting module electrically connected to the buttons, wherein the buttons are suitable for being pressed to make the signal-emitting module generate the serial number signal, and the signal-emitting module inputs the serial number signal to the identifiable chip.

2. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the signal-emitting module comprises a control circuit and a signal-emitting chip electrically connected to the control circuit such that the control circuit located underneath the buttons will generate the serial number signal when the buttons being pressed.

3. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the buttons comprise letter keys as well as number keys.

4. The keyboard of claim 3, wherein the keyboard further comprises function keys.

5. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the signal-emitting chip comprises a radio frequency identification chip, a Bluetooth chip or a wireless network chip.

6. The keyboard of claim 5, wherein the identifiable chip comprises a radio frequency identification chip, a Bluetooth chip or a wireless network chip.

7. The keyboard of claim 6, wherein the signal-emitting module inputs the serial number signal to the identifiable chip through wireless transmission.

8. The keyboard of claim 1, wherein the signal-emitting module inputs the serial number signal to the identifiable chip through cable transmission.
