Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention includes a computer with 10 sensors and a computer. The printing mechanism of the I group is a manual method of printing characters that can output the signal of the characters typed in with the key switch to the Japanese processing machine of the punching machine that creates the punch hole.

Conventionally, when inputting hiragana or katakana characters, the same number of key switches as hiragana or katakana characters are used. Also, when inputting kanji, press the C2 hiragana or katakana key switch as it sounds, and display some candidates on #Mate 1 Spray for places that cannot be automatically converted due to homonyms, etc. They would then select from among them using the selection key. For this reason, there were two points to be listed below.

(1) Since more than one key switch is required, the number of key switches is large.

(2) Due to the large number of key switches, key operations cannot be performed quickly. (3) In the case of manual kanji, multiple key switch sounds 11
Without the 11th order rlEL, it cannot be done manually, requiring many key switch operations, and it takes time.

(4) I have to use my fingers and arm to operate the keys f'f-i, and I'm tired from a lot of work.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks (21) by significantly reducing the number of key switches so that key operations can be performed quickly with only fingertip movements, and
Inputting kanji characters can also be performed twice (=Therefore, there is a method for inputting characters that can be performed twice.The above is a detailed explanation of the present invention based on the embodiments shown in the figures.

．． Manually input the numbers 6.1.8.9.0 by simultaneously operating one or both of 2A and 2B.Next, when manually inputting katakana characters, after operating 5 katakana switch keys, It is possible to manually perform operations similar to the manual operation of hiragana characters using T.

When the following 62 kanji are written manually, as shown in Figure 19 (:Y
The predetermined 'lk' is determined by the two hiragana characters on the axis and Y axis.
- After operating the kanji selection key switch 6 using the table that allows you to select f, perform the manual operation of the hiragana characters described above twice (from the second time, manually input the kanji at the intersection of the Y-axis and Y@). After manually operating the hiragana characters mentioned above and simultaneously operating the kanji switching key switch 6yl/fiE,
Instead of performing the key operations to input the hiragana characters mentioned above, it is no use even if you manually input the kanji characters. In this case, there is no need for an operation to cancel the kanji manual input, and the kanji can be efficiently manually input. Next, different embodiments of the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 41 will be described. In the description of this embodiment, the same parts as those in the embodiment of the present invention will be designated by the same reference numerals.
The explanation will be omitted.
