Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute easily, rapidly and efficiently input operation by providing a display device with various display screens arraying keys effective for inputting and switching a screen by a key displayed on the screen. CONSTITUTION:The position of a key displayed on a display device is pressed by a finger from the surface of a penetrative finger touch type keyboard panel to make the key entry effective. The figure A shows the display screen of a full keyboard, the figure B shows a display screen for selecting a measuring mode and the figure C shows a display screen for selecting an input parameter at the time of a specific measuring mode. Each screen can be switched by touching a keyswitch displayed on the screen. Programming is executed by inputting data through the full keyboard on the display picture shown in the figure A. In the figure B, the comment of a measuring mode corresponding to each switch is also displayed. When a specific mode is selected from the figure B, only the key switch necessary for measurement is displayed and more simplified figure C is displayed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a key-powered device, and particularly to a key-powered device suitable for use in analytical instruments and the like.

Background of the Shiny Plan] Conventionally, in analytical instruments with a programming mode, a full JIS standard keyboard was arranged as a key switch as a key manual device, and each switch on the keyboard also served as a mode key for measurement and a shift key. Ori used a switch key to switch between the alphabet and measurement mode keys.

In this method, when using the mode key for measurement,
Since the mode switch for measurement is placed above the switch of the full keyboard layout, the placement of the mode switch is limited, and the number of keys is large, making it difficult to immediately find the key to input. The disadvantage is that operations cannot be performed quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, even in analytical instruments that do not have a programming mode and only have a measurement mode, if one key is used for two or more input modes, the key layout can be arranged with efficiency in mind; It takes time for the operator to recognize the
The disadvantage is that operations cannot be performed quickly.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a manual key device that can be operated most efficiently, quickly and easily.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention fixes a transparent finger-touch keyboard panel over a display device, and allows input by pressing the displayed keys with a finger from the transparent finger-touch keyboard panel. In a human-powered device that is effective as a keyboard, the key arrangement displayed on the display device can be changed flexibly depending on the input mode. This allows for efficient, quick and easy operation.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to weight resistance.

1 to 3 are examples of the display screen of the display device when it is employed as a key manual device of an analytical instrument with a programming mode. In this embodiment, a see-through type finger-touch keyboard panel is superimposed and fixed on a flat display panel device (liquid crystal display, plasma display, electroluminescent display, electrochromic, etc.). Pressing the position of a key displayed on the display device with a finger from the see-through type finger touch type keyboard panel becomes effective as a manual key.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a full keyboard display screen, FIG. 2 shows an example of a display screen for selecting a measurement mode, and FIG. 3 shows an example of a display screen for selecting input parameters in a specific measurement mode. Each screen can be switched using the key switch displayed on each screen. During programming, the program can be input efficiently using the full keyboard from the display screen shown in FIG. In the normal measurement mode, the measurement mode can be selected by switching from the screen shown in FIG. 1 to the screen shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, comments are also displayed so that the operator can easily recognize the measurement mode corresponding to each switch. When a specific mode is selected from the screen shown in FIG. 2, the screen switches to a more simplified screen shown in FIG. 3 in which only the key switches necessary for measurement are displayed.

According to this embodiment, the display screen is switched according to the input mode, and the full key display is displayed during programming, and the minimum switch display necessary for input is displayed during measurement mode, and the key layout maximizes efficiency during each input. This has the effect that operations can be performed most efficiently, quickly and easily. Additionally, since necessary comments can be displayed at the same time as the key switches, there is no need for a manual regarding operation during operation, and even beginners who are not experts in operation can easily operate the device.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the structural relationship between the screens in FIGS. 2 and 3. Figure 2 shows display screen 1 of the measurement mode selection switch.
0 level, and FIG. 3 belongs to the level of display screen 2 of the measurement mode parameter switch. At the same level as 2 above, there are various screens in which screen switching can be specified from 1 above. According to this embodiment, the configuration between display screens is a hierarchical structure in which one screen at a higher level specifies switching to a screen at a lower level related to that screen, as shown in 1 and 2 above. Even if there are many types of screens, the operator is not confused and can easily select the display screen for input keys.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a change in the shape of the display key. When a key is pressed manually, a specific sound is generated for a certain period of time from the moment the key is pressed, and at the same time the display key changes from Fig. 5 (a) to (
b) Changes as shown below. Or the display color changes. According to this embodiment, it is possible to make the operator accurately recognize that the input has been made validly on a flat panel where the reaction that makes the operator recognize that the key has been validly input is not noticeable. The effect is slow.

With certain input keys, the shape or display color after pressing the key does not immediately return to the state before the key was pressed, but remains in the changed state until it is pressed again. According to this embodiment, since the operator can visually recognize the state of the keys, for example, the operator can recognize the input conditions of a certain measurement mode just by looking at the state of the keys. There is.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain the effect that the operation is easy and can be performed quickly and efficiently.
