Abstract

A computer system includes a keyboard device and a system device. The keyboard device includes a circuit board and a language identification device. The language identification device is connected to the circuit board and includes an identification circuit. The identification circuit is corresponding to identification information. The identification information is corresponding to a specific language adopted by the keyboard device. The system device includes a processor and a connector connected to the processor. The language identification device is connected to the connector such that the processor obtains the identification information. The processor determines an operating system corresponding to the specific language according to the identification information.

First claim

1 . A computer system, comprising:
a keyboard device comprising a circuit board and a language identification device, the language identification device being connected to the circuit board and comprising an identification circuit, wherein the identification circuit comprises a plurality of wires, at least one of the wires comprises a circuit-removed section, the identification circuit being corresponding to an identification information, the identification information being corresponding to a specific language adopted by the keyboard device; and a system device comprising a processor and a connector connected to the processor, the language identification device being connected to the connector such that the processor obtains the identification information, the processor determining an operating system corresponding to the specific language according to the identification information.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the wires are connected with each other via a connection wire.

4 . (canceled)

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the circuit-removed section is formed by opening a hole or scraping a circuit.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is connected to a keyboard signal line, and the language identification device and the keyboard signal line are at different locations of the circuit board.

7 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is connected to a keyboard signal line, and the language identification device is integrated with the keyboard signal line and is connected to the connector along with the keyboard signal line.

8 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the system device further comprises a lookup table, the lookup table comprises a plurality of language comparison information, the processor compares the identification information with the language comparison information to obtain the specific language and determines the operating system according to the specific language.

9 . A keyboard device, comprising:
a circuit board; and a language identification device connected to the circuit board, the language identification device comprising an identification circuit, wherein the identification circuit comprises a plurality of wires, at least one of the wires comprises a circuit-removed section, the identification circuit being corresponding to an identification information, the identification information being corresponding to a specific language adopted by the keyboard device.

10 . (canceled)

11 . The keyboard device of claim 9 , wherein the wires are connected with each other via a connection wire.

12 . (canceled)

13 . The keyboard device of claim 9 , wherein the circuit-removed section is formed by opening a hole or scraping a circuit.

14 . The keyboard device of claim 9 , wherein the circuit board is connected to a keyboard signal line, and the language identification device and the keyboard signal line are at different locations of the circuit board.

15 . The keyboard device of claim 9 , wherein the circuit board is connected to a keyboard signal line, and the language identification device is integrated with the keyboard signal line.

16 . A keyboard device, comprising:
a circuit board; and a language identification device connected to the circuit board in a manner of not electrically connected to the circuit board, the language identification device comprising an identification circuit, the identification circuit being corresponding to an identification information, the identification information being corresponding to a specific language adopted by the keyboard device.

17 . The keyboard device of claim 16 , wherein the identification circuit comprises at least one closed wire, at least one open wire, or the combination thereof.

18 . The keyboard device of claim 16 , wherein the identification circuit comprises a plurality of wires, and the wires are connected with each other via a connection wire.

19 . The keyboard device of claim 18 , wherein at least one of the wires comprises a circuit-removed section.

20 . The keyboard device of claim 19 , wherein the circuit-removed section is formed by opening a hole or scraping a circuit.

21 . The keyboard device of claim 16 , wherein the circuit board is connected to a keyboard signal line, and the language identification device and the keyboard signal line are at different locations of the circuit board.
