Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an antenna module, and more particularly to a steerable antenna module for use in a digital mobile device. [Prior Art]
個人數位化助理(Personal Digital Assistant,PDA) 早在90年代初期,便已出現於市上,其係類似一個簡單的 電子記事本,可以用來隨身記事管理,有行事曆、通訊錄、 待辦事項與安排行程等功能。近年來隨著網際網路與衛星 科技逐漸成热與普遍應用,個人數位化助理開始增加了網 =連結與定位追蹤功能,使得個人數位化助理的功能更加 完善,而在市場銷售上,個人數位化助理的銷售量亦大幅 成長。 叫參考圖1A’其珍示習知一種個人數位化助理於未開 啟定位追蹤功能時的側視圖。習知個人數位化助理1〇〇具 有一本體110,而螢幕12〇、天線單元130、開關單元M〇 與按鍵模組150均配置於本體110上。其中,螢幕12〇具 有顯示功能,用以顯示圖片、文字,以利於編輯行事曆了 通訊錄等應用視窗軟體。此外,開關單元14〇與按鍵模組 150可作為使用者輸入訊息於個人數位化助理的介面。 另外,天線單元130未開啟時乃隱藏於本體n〇之後, 而此時個人數位化助理100也未開啟定位追蹤的功能,因 此天線單元130無法透過全球定位系統(G1〇bal p〇siti〇ningPersonal Digital Assistant (PDA) has appeared in the market since the early 1990s. It is similar to a simple electronic notebook, which can be used for personal management, calendar, address book, to-do. Matters such as matters and scheduling. In recent years, with the increasing popularity and universal application of Internet and satellite technology, personal digital assistants have begun to increase the network = link and location tracking function, making the personal digital assistant more complete, and in the market, personal digital The sales volume of the assistants also increased significantly. Referring to Figure 1A', a side view of a conventional personal digital assistant is provided when the location tracking function is not turned on. The personal digital assistant 1 has a body 110, and the screen 12A, the antenna unit 130, the switch unit M〇 and the button module 150 are disposed on the body 110. Among them, the screen 12 has a display function for displaying pictures and texts, so as to facilitate editing of the application window software such as the address book. In addition, the switch unit 14A and the button module 150 can serve as a user input interface to the interface of the personal digital assistant. In addition, when the antenna unit 130 is not turned on, it is hidden behind the body n〇, and at this time, the personal digital assistant 100 does not have the function of positioning tracking, so the antenna unit 130 cannot pass the global positioning system (G1〇bal p〇siti〇ning).

Next, please refer to Figure ΐβ, 5 1255067 15983twf.doc/g which shows the side view of the personal digital assistant of Figure 1A when the location tracking function is turned on. When the user wants to turn on the location tracking function, the antenna unit 13 is turned from the position shown in FIG. 1A to the open position shown in FIG. 1 , and the tracking signal can be transmitted on the electronic map through the screen 120. The indicated position is displayed. Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, which respectively show a front view of the screen of FIG. 1 in a direct display mode and a horizontal display mode. When the personal digitization assistant 100 is used to enable the location tracking function, the user can use the button module 15〇 to make a between the straight display mode illustrated in FIG. 2A and the birch display mode illustrated in FIG. Switch. It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 2β, when the screen 120 displays the horizontal display mode, in order to facilitate the user to read the message displayed on the screen, the conventional personal digital assistant 1〇() antenna single=_13 〇 You cannot maintain the best reception status towards the sky. Therefore, the signal strength received by the antenna unit 13A of the frame =, and the arm is not much weaker than the signal strength received by the antenna unit 13A of FIG. 2 = No, so that the message displayed by the screen 120 is blurred. Unclear and difficult to interpret. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to provide a digital mobile device and a group of antennas that can be turned to maintain an optimal reception state (e.g., characteristics) of the antenna unit. Eight Zhuang The present invention proposes a steerable antenna module suitable for use in a digital device. The digital mobile device has a screen, and the screen has a display mode and a display mode. The steerable antenna module includes an antenna unit, a display mode switching unit and a steering mechanism. Antenna single 6 1255067 ^ 5983twf.doc/g element is used to receive a positioning chase # on the ground mu_ tiger, the positioning tracking signal through the position of an electronic = 于 on the screen. In addition, the display mode switches the display mode or the second display mode. In addition, the rain display unit is changed from the second display unit to the second display mode, and the first display mode is, for example, a straight display.

The screen is placed on the body. The screen has a - display mode and - = = = 1255057 15983twf.doc / g type. In addition, the antenna unit is disposed on the body for receiving a positioning tracking signal, and the positioning tracking signal is displayed on the screen through an electronic map display. In addition, the display mode switching unit is disposed on the body for selecting the first display mode or the second display mode. Furthermore, the steering mechanism is coupled between the antenna unit and the display mode switching unit, wherein when the antenna unit is turned from the first position to the second position, the screen is switched from the first display mode to the display mode. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first display mode is as in the straight display mode, and the second display mode is in the horizontal display mode. In addition, when the antenna unit is in the first position, its antenna is facing upward, and it is kept in the straight display mode. In addition, the antenna unit is switched from the first position to the first position to switch from the straight display mode to the horizontal display mode, and the antenna unit antenna is directed upward. According to the present invention, the above-mentioned ^ is a horizontal display mode, and the second display mode is, for example, a direct display, which is described in the preferred embodiment. This/[is arranged between the antenna unit and the digital mobile device, and the right-hand display and non-nuclear switching unit have a linkage relationship. In addition, one of the two functions of the linked screen is to electrically activate the rotating shaft or the second embodiment. In the preferred embodiment, the linking member is, for example, a module, and the light is switched by the antenna unit to switch the screen. Display, work, and work to maintain the optimal reception state of the antenna unit (for example, the antenna's 1255067 15983twf.doc/g sky characteristic). The above and other preferred embodiments of the present invention will be apparent from the following description. [Embodiment] Figs. 3A to 3C are views showing a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

What must be explained here is that although the first display mode is the direct display mode and the second display mode is the horizontal display mode in the embodiment, in the other two preferred manners, in the switching mode*, the first- The hemp mode can be a horizontal display mode, and the second display mode can be a straight display mode. Referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3C simultaneously, due to the screen, the steering through the antenna unit 230 can be switched between the first display mode and the second display mode, and the antenna is prevented from obstructing the user to view the message of the screen 220. The orientation of the antenna of unit 230 can be maintained in the same-receiving direction (e.g., toward the sky) to be in an optimal recording state. This makes the message displayed on the screen 22 清楚 clear and easy to interpret regardless of the first display or the second display mode of the screen 220. As described above, the present invention is a method of switching the display mode of the screen via the steering of the antenna unit to maintain the optimal reception state of the antenna unit (the day-to-day characteristics of the sun, the spring). In particular, the steering mechanism has a linkage member that is coupled between the antenna unit and the display mode switching unit, so that the user can easily switch between the mode of the display of the glory display and the position of the antenna, which is very convenient to use and saves the switching time. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention to 1255067 15983 twf.doc/g, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the cans of the present invention is therefore defined by the scope of the appended claims.
