Background art: at present, on a standard English computer keyboard, a 32-symbol key input mode is provided by default, wherein only 4 symbol keys in 3 rows and 10 columns of reference key positions can input 8 symbols. The other 24 symbol keys are not on the reference key position, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect. If 32 symbols are displayed on the reference key positions of the computer keyboard, a brand-new symbol key layout and symbol input mode are provided on the basis, the symbols can be input more efficiently, accurately and uniformly, and the user experience of the English computer keyboard is obviously improved.
Similarly, on computer keyboards with different characters such as French and German, about 32 symbol key input modes are provided by default, wherein only 4 symbol keys are provided for reference key positions of 3 rows and 10 columns, and only 8 symbols can be input. The other 20 symbol keys are not on the reference key position, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect. If all the symbols are displayed on the reference key positions of the computer keyboard, the symbol key layout and the letter key layout of the computer keyboard such as French, German and the like can be obviously simplified and optimized, and the symbol input experience and the letter input experience of the computer keyboard such as French, German and the like are obviously improved.
At present, on a standard English computer keyboard, a 32-symbol key input mode is provided by default, but only 11 symbols can be input by clicking a key, and the rest 21 symbols must be input through a Shift combination key, and 17 symbols not only must be input through the Shift combination key, but also are not on a reference key position, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect. If the combined key input of the symbols is carried out on the basis of a special symbol space key or an existing CapsLock function key, more accurate, efficient, unified and complete symbol input experience can be provided, and unlimited possibility of symbol input expansion is provided.
Similarly, in computer keyboards for other different characters such as french, german, etc., more than 32 symbols are generally provided, but only a few symbols can be input by clicking keys, while most of the rest symbols must be input by Shift combination keys and are not on reference keys, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect. On some computer keyboards with different characters, some corresponding symbols can be input through AltGr combination keys, which is obviously unreasonable, imperfect and non-uniform. If the combined key input of the symbols is carried out on the basis of a special Symbolspace space key or an existing CapsLock function key, more accurate, efficient, unified and perfect symbol input experience can be provided, and unlimited possibility of symbol input expansion is provided.

”。
At present, on the keyboard of an English computer, 32 symbols are provided by default, only 4 keys and 8 symbols are arranged on a reference key position of 3 rows and 10 columns, and other 24 symbols are not arranged on the reference key position. Based on the invention, the 24 symbols can be correspondingly displayed on the 24 letter keys of the reference key positions of the computer keyboard one by one.
Newly adding a symbol on which letter keys of the reference key positions of the computer keyboard are correspondingly arranged; displaying symbols on the reference key positions of the computer keyboard; the one-to-one display relationship of each letter key and symbol will depend on the default settings and user-defined settings of the keyboard manufacturer, computer manufacturer.
For example: as shown in figure 1, based on the default setting of Logitech of computer keyboard manufacturer, only 24 letter keys of the reference key position of the Logitech computer keyboard are respectively newly added with display "" to! @ # $%)&* ( ) - _= + []24 symbols originally displayed outside the reference key position, such as \ { } | "; as shown in figure 2, based on the default setting of Cherry of computer keyboard manufacturer, the newly added display "" to!is respectively and correspondingly arranged on the 26 letter keys of the reference key position of Cherry computer keyboard! @ # $%)&* ( ) - _ = + []\ { } | §
Figure BSA0000183565180000053
"etc. 26 symbols.
For example: as shown in fig. 1, 3 pairs of 6 brackets on a reference key position of a Dell notebook computer keyboard are respectively newly added on 3 rows and 2 columns of 6 letter keys displayed in the middle of the reference key position one by one on the basis of default setting of a Dell notebook computer keyboard manufacturer; as shown in figure 2, 3 pairs of 6 brackets on the reference key position of the Hp notebook computer keyboard are newly added and displayed on 1 line of 6 letter keys such as 'T Y U IO P' and the like one by one respectively based on the default setting of Hp of a notebook computer keyboard manufacturer.
For example: in computer keyboards with different characters, such as French, German, Russian, Spanish, etc., more symbols and letters may be provided, and therefore more than 24 symbols are not located at the reference key position. Based on the present invention, it is possible to display 26 or more symbols on the 26 or more letter keys of the reference key in one-to-one correspondence.
At present, most of symbol keys are not displayed on the reference key positions of 3 rows and 10 columns of the computer keyboard, so when inputting the symbols, fingers must be away from the reference key positions, and the overall efficiency of keyboard input is obviously reduced. Based on the invention, the 26 letter keys of the reference key position can be used as the symbol keys to carry out brand new symbol key layout, so that the symbols can be input without the fingers leaving the reference key position, and the integral efficiency of keyboard input is obviously improved.
At present, most of symbol keys are not displayed on reference key positions of 3 rows and 10 columns of a computer keyboard, so when the symbols are input, fingers are required to leave the reference key positions, touch typing cannot be realized, misoperation is easy to occur, input fluency is affected, and the whole input efficiency is greatly reduced due to error correction of misoperation. Based on the invention, the 26 letter keys of the reference key position can be used as the symbol keys to carry out brand new symbol key layout, so that the finger does not need to leave the reference key position, the touch typing can be realized, and the misoperation caused by inaccurate finger positioning can be avoided.
At present, 10 symbols are displayed on 10 number keys of an English computer keyboard besides 10 numbers; on 11 symbol keys of an English computer keyboard, each symbol key displays two symbols; however, only one letter is generally displayed on the 26-letter keys of the English computer keyboard; thus, displaying a symbol in addition to a letter on each letter key of a computer keyboard is entirely acceptable to users, who have become accustomed to displaying two "letters, numbers or symbols" in a mixed manner on a single key.
As long as "a plurality of symbols which are not originally displayed on the reference key position are newly and correspondingly displayed on a plurality of letter keys of the reference key position of the computer keyboard one by one", the method is used for optimizing the symbol key layout of the computer keyboard, and the method belongs to the protection scope of the invention regardless of the layout of the symbol keys on the reference key position.
And secondly, 3 pairs of 6 symbols such as newly-increased display "{ } [ ] ()" are respectively and correspondingly arranged on the middle 3 rows and 2 columns of 6 letter keys in the middle 3 rows and 10 columns of reference key positions of the computer keyboard by default.
For example: as shown in the attached figure 1, 3 pairs of 6 symbols such as "{ } () [ ]" are newly added and displayed on 6 letter keys such as "T Y G H B N" of an English computer keyboard one by one in sequence.
At present, in 32 symbols on an English computer keyboard, the symbols in double pairs are 4 to 8, in addition to being already positioned in the middle position of a reference key position, "< >", 3 to 6 such as "{ } [ ] ()" are also displayed on the middle position of the reference key position of the computer keyboard, the aesthetic principle of bilateral symmetry is met, and the user experience, the visual experience and the operation experience can be obviously improved.
The default is that 8 symbols such as '| \+ - }' are newly added and displayed on 8 letter keys of the reference key position of the right hand of the computer keyboard one by one.
For example: as shown in fig. 1, 8 symbols such as "\ + - ═ are additionally and sequentially displayed on 8 letter keys such as" U io P J K L M "of the english computer keyboard one by one.
At present, the default of 8 symbols such as' | \+ - ═ on an English computer keyboard is input operation by the right hand, so that the 8 symbols are displayed on 8 letter keys of a right-hand reference key position in a one-to-one correspondence manner by default, and the traditional habit of right-hand input of a user can be compatible.
At present, the input of basic operators on the keyboard of an English computer is not uniform, "/", can be directly input by clicking, and "+" must be input by a Shift combined key, and the basic operators are distributed, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect. Based on the present invention, "+ -" is placed in a row and is tightly connected to "/", and three symbols such as "< >" are also tightly connected, which significantly optimizes the input experience of the basic operators.
At present, 4 symbols such as '| \\' can be respectively input by two symbol keys on an English computer keyboard, but the 2 symbol keys are not positioned at a reference key position, are generally input by a little finger of a right hand, and are easy to generate misoperation. By default, one of the characters is correspondingly displayed on 1 line and 4 letter keys such as U I O P, misoperation caused by inaccurate finger positioning can be avoided, and symbol input experience of a user is obviously improved.
The default is that 10 letter keys of the left hand reference key position of the computer keyboard are respectively newly added and displayed on the keys one by one! 10 symbols such as @ # $% & - ".
For example: as shown in figure 1, the display of the English computer keyboard is newly added on the keys of 10 letters in 3 lines such as ' QWERS SD F X C V ', etc. ' Q WERS S! 10 symbols such as @ # $% & - ".
Currently, on the number keys 1234 of the English computer keyboard, a! The 4 symbols such as @ # $' are correspondingly displayed on the 4 letter keys adjacent to and below the 4 number keys in sequence, so that the traditional symbol input habit is compatible to a certain extent.
At present, 3 symbols such as ^% &' Q are respectively displayed on a number key 567 of an English computer keyboard, correspondingly, 3 same symbols are sequentially displayed on 3 letter keys in the second row of a left-hand reference key position, and thus, the traditional symbol input habit is also compatible to a certain extent.
The rest 3 symbols in the 32 symbols are displayed on the 3 letter keys on the third row of the reference key position of the left hand of the English computer keyboard, so that a complete solution is provided for the key layout optimization of all 32 symbols of the English computer keyboard.
Whether 3 pairs of 6 symbols such as newly-increased display '{ } [ ] ()' are respectively and correspondingly arranged on the middle 3 rows and 2 columns of 6 letter keys in the middle 3 rows and 10 columns of reference key positions of the computer keyboard; whether 8 symbols such as '| \+ - }' are newly added and displayed on 8 letter keys of the reference key position of the right hand of the computer keyboard one by one respectively; whether the newly-increased display is newly added on the 10 letter keys of the left hand reference key position of the computer keyboard one by one respectively! 10 symbols such as @ # $% & - "; will depend on the keyboard manufacturer, the computer manufacturer's default settings, or the user's custom settings.
For example: as shown in figure 1, the symbolic key layout of the reference key position of the computer keyboard takes into account a plurality of factors such as a two-hand input habit, a symmetrical aesthetic principle, a layout regularity and the like, and is a symbolic key layout mode with the best overall effect. However, a keyboard manufacturer, a computer manufacturer or a computer user can perform various fine adjustments on the default symbol key layout according to other requirements or layout principles.
For example: in computer keyboards for different languages such as french, german, russian, spanish, etc., more symbols are provided by default, and thus more than 24 symbols or letters are not located at the reference keys. Based on the present invention, 26 symbols or more may be displayed on 26 or more letter keys in a one-to-one correspondence.
As long as a plurality of symbols are correspondingly and newly displayed on a plurality of letter keys of a reference key position of a computer keyboard one by one, and the key layout is carried out according to the layout principle of the invention, the invention belongs to the protection scope no matter how the corresponding display relationship of the letter keys and the symbols is modified and finely adjusted.
Thirdly, 10 symbols such as "! @ # $% & gt * ()" displayed by the newly added display number key row are respectively and correspondingly arranged on the letter key at the topmost row of the reference key positions of the 3 rows and 10 columns of the computer keyboard.
For example: as shown in figure 5, the newly-added display is respectively added on the top row of letter keys of reference key position of English computer keyboard! The 10 symbols of @ # $% & (), i.e., the symbol displayed by each numeral key of the numeral key row, and the symbol displayed on the letter key below each numeral are identical.
At present, symbols displayed on numerical keys of a computer keyboard are a technical standard, and inputting the symbols through Shift numerical combination keys is a habit of inputting. Therefore, the 10 symbols in the number key row are correspondingly displayed on the 10 letter keys in the 1 row below the adjacent number key row, so that the traditional visual experience and operation habit are compatible to the maximum extent.
On 4 letter keys of the left hand reference key position or the right hand reference key position of the computer keyboard, 4 symbols such as "[ ] { }" and the like are newly added and displayed one by one respectively.
For example: as shown in fig. 5, 4 symbols such as "[ ] { }" are newly added and displayed on 4 letter keys such as "a S D F" of the english computer keyboard one by one.
At present, in 32 symbols on the English computer keyboard, the symbols in double pairs are 4 pairs and 8 symbols, except for "< >" and "()" already positioned at the reference key position, also have 2 pairs and 4 symbols such as "{ } [ ]", etc., and the symbols are displayed on the left hand reference key position or the right hand reference key position of the computer keyboard, so that the symbol input experience can be obviously improved.
10 symbols such as \ \ - _ \.
For example: as shown in fig. 5, 10 symbols such as "\\\" + - "are respectively and newly added and displayed on 10 letter keys such as" gahjkxzvbn "of the reference key position of the english computer keyboard one by one.
The English computer keyboard provides 32 symbols for display and input by default, and because 14 symbols are displayed on the letter keys of the reference key position of the computer keyboard in a one-to-one correspondence manner, 10 other symbols are displayed on the other 10 letter keys of the reference key position of the computer keyboard in a one-to-one correspondence manner, so that all 32 symbols can be displayed and input on the reference key position of the computer keyboard.
On the top row of letter keys of 3 rows and 10 columns of reference keys of computer keyboard a new-added display number key row display is respectively correspondent to one-to-one! 10 symbols of @ # $% & () "; on 4 letter keys of the left hand reference key position or the right hand reference key position of the computer keyboard, 4 symbols such as "[ ] { }" are newly added and displayed one by one respectively; newly adding 10 symbols such as \; will depend on the keyboard manufacturer, the computer manufacturer's default settings, or the user's custom settings.
For example: as shown in fig. 5, the symbol key layout of the reference key position on the computer keyboard takes into account the conventional symbol layout habit and other factors, and is a symbol key layout mode with better input effect. But keyboard manufacturers, computer manufacturers or computer users can carry out various fine adjustments on the symbol key layout of the invention according to other requirements or layout principles.
As long as a plurality of symbols are correspondingly and newly displayed on a plurality of letter keys of a reference key position of a computer keyboard one by one, and the key layout is carried out according to the layout principle of the invention, the invention belongs to the protection scope no matter how the corresponding display relationship of the letter keys and the symbols is modified and finely adjusted.
Fourthly, setting a space key on the computer keyboard as a symbol space key.
For example: on a computer keyboard that provides 1 physical space key, the driver of the computer keyboard defaults to setting the unique space key as the "symbol space key" as shown in FIG. 1.
For example: after a corresponding keyboard function enhancement software is installed and run, on a computer keyboard provided with 2 physical space keys, the right space key is set as a 'symbol space key' by default, and the left space key can also be set as a 'symbol space key'.
For example: in the computer keyboard provided with 3 physical space bars as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the driver of the computer keyboard may set the right space bar as the "symbol space bar" by default, or may set any one of the left space bar and the middle space bar as the "symbol space bar".
On the Symbol Space key of the computer keyboard, corresponding function prompt character strings or icons such as 'Symbol', 'Symbol + Space' and the like can be displayed.
For example: as shown in FIG. 1, on a computer keyboard that provides 1 physical spacebar, the computer keyboard manufacturer displays the corresponding prompt string "Symbol + Space" on the unique spacebar that is default set to "Symbol Space".
For example: on a computer keyboard that provides 2 physical Space keys, the computer keyboard manufacturer displays the corresponding prompt string "Symbol + Space" on the right-hand Space key that is set by default as the "Symbol Space key".
For example: as shown in FIG. 1, on a notebook keyboard that provides 3 physical spacebars, the computer manufacturer displays the corresponding prompt string "Symbol" on the left spacebar that is default set to "Symbol space".
For example: on a computer keyboard that provides 2 physical space keys, on the right-hand space key that is set by default as the "symbol space key", no character strings or icons will be displayed by default.
Whether a space key on a computer keyboard is set as a 'symbol space key'; which space key on the computer keyboard is set as a 'symbol space key'; whether to display corresponding function prompt character strings or icons such as 'Symbol', 'Symbol Space', 'Symbol + Space' and the like on a Symbol Space key of a computer keyboard; displaying a function prompt character string or an icon in what form on a 'symbol space key'; will depend on the default settings of the keyboard vendor, computer vendor, software provider, or user-defined settings of the user.
For example: based on the default setting of the Logitech company of a computer keyboard manufacturer, on the Logitech computer keyboard provided with 2 physical Space keys, the Space key on the right side is set as a 'SymbolSpace Space key' by default, and a prompt character string 'Symbol + Space' is displayed on the 'SymbolSpace Space key'; on a Cherry computer keyboard providing 2 physical space keys, the left space key is set as a "Symbol space key" by default, and a prompt string "Symbol" is displayed on the "Symbol space key", based on the default setting of the keyboard manufacturer Cherry company; the user can set the right Space key as a 'Symbol Space key' by self-defining by downloading and installing keyboard function enhancement software, and the prompt character string 'Symbol + Space' is displayed on the right 'Symbol Space key' in a key cap replacing mode.
For example: based on the default settings of Hp company of notebook computer manufacturers, on the Hp computer keyboard provided with 3 physical space keys, the space key on the right side is set as a 'Symbol space key', and a prompt character string 'Symbol' is displayed on the 'Symbol space key'; based on default settings of Dell corporation of notebook computer manufacturers, on a Dell computer keyboard provided with 3 physical Space keys, the left Space key is set as a 'Symbol Space key', and a prompt character string 'Symbol + Space' is displayed on the 'Symbol Space key'; through user-defined setting, the blank key in the middle is set as a 'symbol space key' in a self-defined mode, and a prompt character string 'symbol space' is displayed on the 'symbol space key' in the middle in a mode of covering a keyboard film.
The space key on the computer keyboard is set as a symbol space key which is used as a special combined function key for symbol input, and the method is the best technical solution which can be realized by the invention, can optimize and replace the traditional symbol input mode, and obviously improves the symbol input experience of the computer keyboard.
Fifthly, after the depression of a SymbolSpaee space key is captured, if the depression of any other key is not captured, the depression of the SymbolSpaee space key is directly captured and released, and a space character is input; after capturing the depression of the SymbolSpace space key, if capturing the depression or release of any other key, executing the corresponding operation of the SymbolSpace space combination key, and capturing the release of the SymbolSpace space key, a space character cannot be input.
For example: as shown in fig. 1, after the driver of the computer keyboard captures the depression of the symbol space key, if the driver directly captures the release of the symbol space key without capturing the depression of any other key, a space character is input, and thus the conventional operation habit of 'clicking the space key to input the space character' can be completely reserved.
For example: after the NeweasyKeyboard keyboard function enhancement software installed and operated in a computer captures the pressing of a SymboSpace space key, if the letter key J is quickly pressed and released, namely the letter key J is clicked, the space combination key operation of the SymboSpace + J is executed, and a symbol is input, "+"; and then releasing the symbol space key, so that a space character cannot be input, and the symbol space combination key operation process is finished.
After capturing the pressing of the symbol space key, if the pressing of any other key is not captured, the releasing of the symbol space key is captured in less than 1 second or other specific time, and a space character is input; after capturing the depression of the symbol space key, if the depression of any other key is not captured, but the depression of the symbol space key is captured after more than 1 second or other specific time, a space character will not be input.
For example: as with the quick press and release of an alphabet key to enter an english alphabet, the quick press and release of the symbol space key will enter a space character. After the symbol space key is pressed and is continuously input for a period of time, one or more space characters are not automatically and continuously input according to the duration of time, but any characters are not input, which is obviously different from the traditional space key operation mode.
Based on the invention, after the symbol space key is pressed for a long time, the symbol space key is released, and no space character can be input, and after the symbol space key is released after the function key of 'Shift' or 'Ctrl' is pressed for a long time, no character can be input by default; pressing the symbol space key, clicking the corresponding key to operate the corresponding symbol space combination key, then releasing the symbol space key without inputting a space character, and performing symbol input operation through the symbol space combination key, which is similar to performing symbol input operation through the Shift combination key.
Most computer users input a plurality of space characters automatically and continuously by pressing the symbol space key for a long time is rare, so that the symbol space key for a long time is used for carrying out symbol space combination key operation, and input operation habits of the users are hardly influenced. The user may automatically continue to enter multiple space characters in a number of ways compatible with the conventional long-press space key. For example: the method is used for replacing long pressing of a space key to automatically and continuously input a plurality of space symbols by continuously clicking a Symbolspace space key for a plurality of times; for example: the method can be used for replacing the mode of long pressing of a symbol Space key to automatically and continuously input a plurality of Space characters by long pressing of a Shift + Space or Fn + Space combined key; for another example: it is also possible to automatically input a plurality of space characters in succession by long pressing of a dedicated conventional space key by providing a dedicated conventional space key.
The invention inputs the space character by clicking the symbol space key, and is completely compatible with the traditional input habit; the symbol input operation is optimized by carrying out the corresponding symbol space combination key operation by long pressing the symbol space key, so that the input operation experience of the computer keyboard can be obviously improved.
The technical realization principle of the driver of the computer keyboard or the corresponding keyboard function enhancement software is almost the same by clicking a SymbolSpace space key to input a space symbol and performing symbol input operation by a SymbolSpace space combination key, and the traditional method of inputting the space symbol by clicking the space key and performing symbol input operation by a Shift combination key, and belongs to the known technology in the technical field.
Capturing the pressing of a symbol-displaying letter key after capturing the pressing of a symbol space key, and then performing symbol space combination key operation to input a corresponding symbol displayed by the letter key; the symbol input operation of the symbol space combination key is not ended until the release of the symbol space key is captured.
For example: as shown in fig. 1, after the driver of the computer keyboard captures the pressing of the "symbol space" space key; capturing a click of the letter key J displaying the symbol "+" and inputting the symbol "+" corresponding to the letter key; and the releasing of the 'symbol space' key is captured again, and the symbol input operation process of the space letter combination key is ended.
For example: as shown in fig. 1, after the driver of the computer keyboard captures the pressing of the "symbol space" space key; capturing the click of the letter key C displaying the symbol-, and inputting the symbol-, which corresponds to the letter key; capturing the single click of the letter key H displaying the symbol ')', and inputting the symbol corresponding to the letter key ')'; and the releasing of the 'symbol space' space key is captured again, and the symbol input operation process of the space letter combination key is ended.
For example: as shown in fig. 3, after capturing the depression of the space key of the symbol space, a computer keyboard function enhancement software automatically and continuously inputs a plurality of symbols "&" according to the duration of the long press when capturing the long press of the letter key "F" displaying the symbol "&"; and the releasing of the 'symbol space' space key is captured again, and the symbol input operation process of the space letter combination key is ended.
At present, through a computer keyboard, not only letters and numbers but also symbols are frequently input. The keyboard of English computer provides 32 symbols as default, but only 8 symbols are in the reference key position, and the other 24 symbols are not in the reference key position, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect, and is a compromise design with letter input priority. Based on the invention, except that original 8 symbols are in the reference key position, the other 24 symbols are also displayed on the reference key position of the computer keyboard, and the input is realized by the way of the space letter combination key, thus, all 32 symbols of the English computer keyboard are in the reference key position, the input can be realized without the need of leaving the reference key position by fingers, and the keyboard input experience of the symbols is fundamentally improved.
Capturing the pressing of a 'symbol space' space key, then capturing the pressing of a number key or a symbol key displaying a symbol, and then performing symbol space combination key operation to input the corresponding symbol displayed by the number key or the symbol key; the symbol input operation of the symbol space combination key is not finished until the release of the 'symbol space' space key is captured.
For example: as shown in fig. 1, after the keyboard driver of the computer captures the pressing of the "symbol space" space key, and then captures the clicking of the number key "8" displaying the symbol "", the symbol "") displayed by the character key will be input, and after the keyboard driver captures the releasing of the "symbol space" space key, the input operation process of the symbol space key will be ended.
For example: after a keyboard driver of a computer captures the pressing of a space key of ' symbol space ', capturing a symbol key ' showing a symbol ' > ', and inputting the symbol ' > ' corresponding to the symbol key; then capturing the long press of the symbol key displaying the symbol "+" and automatically and continuously inputting the symbols "+" displayed by the plurality of symbol keys according to the length of the long press time; and after the release of the 'SymbolSpace' space key is captured again, the input operation process of the SymbolSpace combination key is ended.
At present, on an English computer keyboard, 26 capital letters or lower case letters can be input through a Shift + letter combination key; the input of 21 symbols can be realized by a "Shift + number" combination key or a "Shift + symbol" combination key. Based on the invention, the input of at least 24 symbols can be realized through the combined key of 'symbol space + letter', correspondingly, the input of 21 symbols can also be realized through the combined key of 'symbol space + number' and the combined key of 'symbol space + symbol', and the traditional symbol input habit is completely compatible.
In the future, the Shift function key can be used as a special letter combination input function key and is specially used for inputting 26 letters in a combination key mode; the symbol space key can be used as a special symbol combination input function key and specially used for inputting at least 28 symbols in a combination key mode, at least 24 symbols can be input in a brand-new 'symbol space + letter' combination key mode, and 21 symbols can be input in a traditional 'symbol space + number' or 'symbol space + symbol' mode. The Shift key function key is specially used for inputting letters, the symbol space key is specially used for inputting symbols, the symbol space key is more accurate, efficient, unified and perfect, and the symbol input experience of a user can be obviously improved.
In the future, 4 symbols can be directly input by clicking 4 symbol keys of the reference key position of the English computer keyboard, 28 symbols can be input by operating 24 letter keys of the reference key position of the computer keyboard and a 'symbol space combination key' of the 4 symbol keys, and thus, all 32 symbols can be input at the reference key position. Although the symbol is input by the combined key mode of "symbol space + number" or "symbol space + symbol" other than the reference key position, most users will rarely use keys other than the reference key position to input symbols because better choices are already provided.
The invention inputs symbols through the symbol space combination key and the Shift combination key, which are completely the same in form, and the user can accept the symbols without any problem.
The technical implementation principle of inputting the symbols by the 'Shift + number' combined key and the 'Shift + symbol' combined key is completely the same as the technical implementation principle of inputting the symbols by the 'symbol space + letter' combined key, the 'symbol space + number' combined key and the 'symbol space + symbol' combined key, belongs to the known technology in the technical field, and does not limit the specific implementation mode in a computer keyboard driver or computer keyboard function enhancement software.
And seventhly, setting the function keys such as the CapsLock or the RightAlt and the like on the computer keyboard as Symbol function keys.
For example: as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the "CapsLock" function key on the computer keyboard is set as a "Symbol" function key.
For example: fig. 5 shows that the "RightAlt" function key on the computer keyboard is set as the "Symbol" function key.
Corresponding function prompt character strings or icons such as Symbol can be added and displayed on Symbol function keys of the computer keyboard.
For example: as shown in fig. 4, the computer keyboard manufacturer will add and display a corresponding prompt character string "Symbol" in addition to the default display of "Caps" on the "CapsLock" function key set as the "Symbol" function key.
For example: as shown in fig. 5, the user of the notebook computer can display a corresponding prompt character string "Symbol" on the "RightAlt" function key in addition to the default "Alt" by covering the keyboard overlay.
Whether the function keys such as 'CapsLock' or 'RightAlt' on the computer keyboard are set as 'Symbol' function keys or not; whether a corresponding function prompt character string or icon such as 'Symbol' is displayed on the 'Symbol' function key or not; displaying the function prompt character string or icon in what form on the Symbol function key; will depend on the default settings of the keyboard vendor, computer vendor, software provider, or user-defined settings of the user.
For example: setting a 'CapsLock' function key as a 'Symbol' function key on a Logitech computer keyboard based on default setting of a Logitech company of a computer keyboard manufacturer, and additionally displaying a prompt character string 'Symbol' on the 'Symbol function key'; based on the default setting of a keyboard manufacturer, the function key of 'CapsLock' on a Cherry computer keyboard is not set as the function key of 'Symbol' by default, and the function key of 'RightAlt' is not set as the function key of 'Symbol'; a user can set the 'PightAlt' function key as a 'Symbol' function key in a self-defined manner by downloading, installing and operating keyboard function enhancement software, and a display prompt character string 'Symbol' is newly added on the 'Symbol' function key in a mode of replacing a key cap of a key.
For example: after the computer keyboard is provided with a special 'Symbol space' space key, because a better Symbol input optimization effect can be obtained, it is not necessary to set the function keys of the computer keyboard, such as 'capsLock' or 'RightAlt', as 'Symbol' function keys.
At present, the CapsLock function key is positioned above and adjacent to the LeftShift function key by default, the operation experiences of the two are almost the same, therefore, the symbols are input through the Shift combination key and the symbols are input through the CapsLock combination key, the operation experiences of the two are almost the same, moreover, the CapsLock combination key is not used by default, most users never perform any function operation through the CapsLock combination key, perfect compatibility is achieved, therefore, the symbols are not affected to the operation habits of the users by being input through the CapsLock combination key, and no problem exists when the symbols are input through the CapsLock combination key.
When the space key of 'Symbol space' is not provided on the computer keyboard, the function keys of 'CapsLock' or 'RightAlt' and the like on the computer keyboard can be set as 'Symbol' function keys which are specially used for carrying out corresponding Symbol input optimization operation, so that the 'Symbol combination key' is a most feasible alternative technical scheme for optimizing the Symbol input operation by the 'Symbol space combination key'.
At present, in some computer keyboards with characters such as German, the corresponding symbols can be input through the 'LightAlt' combination keys, but the number of users is very small, and the design is unreasonable and imperfect. It is obvious that if the combined key of 'CapsLock' is used for the symbol input optimization operation, the combined key of 'CapsLock' is obviously superior to the combined key of 'RightAlt', the combined key of 'SymbolSpace' has more obvious advantages on the combined key of 'RightAlt', and the space key at the right side is set as the space key of 'SymbolSpace' by default.
Currently, the symbol combination input function key defaults to "Shift"; in the future, for part of computer keyboards, especially computer keyboards already used by users, the special symbol combination input function key can be set as a corresponding function key such as "capsLock" or "RightAlt"; finally, the special symbol combination input function keys of all computer keyboards are evolved into a 'symbol space' space key, so that more efficient, accurate, unified and perfect symbol input experience can be obtained.
Eighthly, after the press of the Symbol function key is captured, if the press of any other key is not captured, the release of the Symbol function key is directly captured, and the default display or the default corresponding click function operation of the Symbol function key is executed; after capturing the press of the Symbol function key, if capturing the press or release of any other key, executing the corresponding Symbol combination key operation, and capturing the release of the Symbol function key, not executing the default display of the Symbol function key or the default corresponding click function operation.
For example: as shown in fig. 4, the CapsLock function key on the computer keyboard is set as a Symbol function key, after the Symbol function key is captured by the driver of the computer keyboard, if the key is not captured again, the key is directly captured and released, but the "CapsLock" clicking operation of default display of the Symbol function key is executed, and the input mode switching between capital letters and lowercase letters is performed, so that the conventional operation habit of switching the input mode between capital letters and lowercase letters by clicking the CapsLock function key is completely reserved; after capturing the depression of the Symbol function key, the driver of the computer keyboard quickly presses and releases the letter key "J", that is, clicks the letter key "J" to execute the "Symbol + J" combination key operation, inputs a Symbol "+", and releases the Symbol function key, so that the "CapsLock" click operation displayed by the Symbol function key by default is not executed, but the Symbol combination key operation process is ended.
For example: as shown in fig. 5, the RightAlt function key on the computer keyboard is set as Symbol function key, the driver of the computer keyboard captures the right Alt function key pressed, if the driver does not capture any other key pressed, the driver directly captures the release of Symbol function key, but executes the "Alt" clicking operation displayed by default on the Symbol function key to perform the menu operation state, thus completely keeping the conventional operation habit of "clicking the RightAlt function key to enter the menu operation state"; after the NeweasyKeyboard keyboard function enhancement software installed and operated in the computer captures the pressing of the Symbol function key, if the letter key J is quickly pressed and released, namely the letter key J is clicked, the Symbol + J combination key operation is executed, a Symbol + is input, and the Symbol function key is released, the Alt clicking operation displayed by the Symbol function key in a default mode is not executed, and the Symbol combination key operation process is ended.
After capturing the press of the Symbol function key, if the press of any other key is not captured, and the release of the Symbol function key is captured in less than 1 second or other specific time, executing one default display of the Symbol function key or default corresponding click function operation; after capturing the depression of the Symbol function key, if the depression of any other key is not captured, and the release of the Symbol function key is captured after more than 1 second or other specific time, the default display or the default corresponding click function operation of the Symbol function key cannot be executed.
For example: as shown in fig. 4, as if an english letter is input by quickly pressing and releasing an alphabet key, a single click operation of displaying a CapsLock function key by default on the Symbol function key is executed by quickly pressing and releasing the Symbol function key; after the symbol caps function key is pressed and is kept for a period of time, the operation of the 'CapLock' function key cannot be executed once, which is obviously different from the traditional CapLock operation mode.
Based on the invention, after the Symbol function key is pressed for a long time, the Symbol function key is released, so that the default display of the Symbol function key or the default corresponding single-click function operation can not be executed, and any character can not be input by default after the Symbol function key is released like the long pressing of the 'Shift' or 'Ctrl' function key; pressing the Symbol function key, clicking the corresponding key to perform the corresponding Symbol combination key operation, then releasing the Symbol function key, and performing Symbol input operation through the Symbol combination key, which is similar to performing Symbol input operation through the Shift combination key, without performing one Symbol function key default display or default corresponding click function operation.
At present, by long-pressing the CapsLock function key for defaults, no operation is performed, so that the CapsLock is set as a Symbol function key, and the Symbol function key is used for performing Symbol combination key operation by long-pressing the Symbol function key, and no influence is generated on the input operation habit of a user.
The invention executes one-time Symbol function key default display or default corresponding single-click function operation by single-clicking the Symbol function key, and is completely compatible with the traditional input habit; the Symbol combination key operation is carried out by long pressing the Symbol function key for the optimized input operation of the Symbol, and the Symbol input experience of the computer keyboard can be obviously improved.
The technical realization principle of the driver program of the computer keyboard or the corresponding keyboard function enhancement software is almost the same as that of the driver program of the computer keyboard or the corresponding keyboard function enhancement software, wherein the default display of the Symbol function key or the default corresponding single-click function operation is executed by clicking the Symbol function key, the Symbol input operation is carried out by clicking the Symbol combination key, and the traditional method of executing the single-click CapsLock function key operation by clicking the CapsLock function key or entering the menu operation state by clicking the Alt function key and carrying out the Symbol input operation by clicking the Shift combination key does not have any limitation on the specific realization mode of executing the single-click operation of the CapsLock function key or the Alt function key single-click operation by clicking the Symbol function key and carrying out the Symbol input operation by clicking the Symbol combination key.
Capturing the press of Symbol function keys, capturing the press of newly added character keys displaying symbols, performing Symbol combination key operation, and inputting corresponding symbols displayed by the character keys; the Symbol input operation of the Symbol combination key is not ended until the release of the Symbol function key is captured.
For example: as shown in fig. 4, the driver of the computer keyboard captures the depression of the CapsLock function key set as Symbol function key; capturing a click of the letter key J displaying the symbol "+" and inputting the symbol "+" corresponding to the letter key; and capturing the release of the CapsLock function key, and ending the Symbol input operation process of the Symbol combination key.
For example: FIG. 5 shows that the driver of the computer keyboard captures the pressed rightAlt function key set as Symbol function key; capturing the click of the letter key C displaying the symbol "-" and inputting the symbol "-" corresponding to the letter key; capturing the single click of the letter key P showing the symbol ')', the symbol corresponding to the letter key is input ')'; and capturing the release of the RightAlt function key, and ending the Symbol input operation process of the Symbol combination key.
For example: as shown in fig. 6, after capturing the pressing of the CapsLock function key set as the Symbol function key, and capturing the long press of the letter key "F" displaying the Symbol "&", a computer keyboard function enhancement software automatically and continuously inputs a plurality of symbols "&" according to the duration of the long press; and capturing the release of the CapsLock function key, and ending the Symbol input operation process of the Symbol combination key.
At present, through a computer keyboard, not only letters and numbers but also symbols are frequently input. The default of English computer keyboard provides 32 symbols, but only 8 symbols are in the reference key position, and the other 24 symbols are not in the reference key position, which is obviously unreasonable and imperfect, and is a compromise design with letter input priority. Based on the invention, except that original 8 symbols are at the reference key position, the other 24 symbols are also displayed at the reference key position of the computer keyboard, and the input is realized by a 'Symbol combination key' mode, thus, all 32 symbols of the English computer keyboard are at the reference key position, the input can be realized without the need of leaving the reference key position by fingers, and the keyboard input experience of the symbols is fundamentally improved.
Capturing the pressing of a Symbol function key, then capturing the pressing of a number key or a Symbol key displaying a Symbol, and then performing Symbol combination key operation to input the corresponding Symbol displayed by the number key or the Symbol key; the Symbol input operation of the Symbol combination key is not ended until the release of the Symbol function key is captured.
For example: as shown in fig. 4, after capturing that the key of the kernel lock function set as the Symbol key is pressed, the keyboard driver of the computer captures a single click of the numeric key "8" displaying the Symbol "", inputs the Symbol "", and after capturing that the key of the kernel lock function is released, the keyboard driver ends the input operation process of the Symbol combination key.
For example: as shown in fig. 5, after capturing the RightAlt function key set as Symbol function key to be pressed, the keyboard driver of the computer captures the Symbol key ">" showing the Symbol ">", and inputs the Symbol ">" corresponding to the Symbol key; then capturing the long press of the symbol key displaying the symbol "+" and automatically and continuously inputting the symbols "+" displayed by the plurality of symbol keys according to the length of the long press time; and after the releasing of the rightAlt function key is captured, the input operation process of the Symbol combination key is ended.
At present, on an English computer keyboard, 26 capital letters or lower case letters can be input through a Shift + letter combination key; the input of 21 symbols can be realized by a "Shift + number" combination key or a "Shift + symbol" combination key. Based on the invention, not only can the input of at least 24 symbols be realized through the combined key of 'Symbol + letter', but also the input of 21 symbols can be realized through the combined key of 'Symbol + number' and the combined key of 'Symbol + Symbol', and the traditional Symbol input habit is completely compatible.
In the future, the Shift function key can be used as a special letter combination input function key and is specially used for inputting 26 letters in a combination key mode; the Symbol function key can be used as a special Symbol combination input function key, is specially used for inputting at least 28 symbols in a combination key mode, can input at least 24 symbols in a brand-new 'Symbol + letter' combination key mode, and can also input 21 symbols in a traditional 'Symbol + number' or 'Symbol + Symbol' mode. The Shift function key is specially used for inputting letters, the Symbol space key is specially used for inputting symbols, the method is more accurate, efficient, unified and perfect, and the Symbol input experience of a user can be obviously improved.
In the future, 4 symbols can be directly input by clicking 4 Symbol keys of the reference key position of the English computer keyboard, 28 symbols can be input by operating 24 letter keys of the reference key position of the computer keyboard and 'Symbol combination key' of the 4 Symbol keys, and thus, all 32 symbols can be input at the reference key position. Although Symbol input by means of "Symbol + number" or "Symbol + Symbol" combination keys other than the reference key position is provided, most users will rarely use keys other than the reference key position to input symbols because better choices have been provided.
The invention inputs symbols through the Symbol combination key and the Shift combination key, which are completely identical in form and accepted by users without any problem.
The technical realization principle of inputting symbols by the combined key of 'Shift + number' and 'Shift + Symbol' is completely the same as the technical realization principle of inputting symbols by the combined key of 'Symbol + letter' and 'Symbol + number' and belongs to the known technology in the technical field.
The invention inputs symbols through the Symbol combination key and the Shift combination key, which are completely identical in form and accepted by users without any problem.
The technical implementation principle of inputting symbols by the combined key of 'Shift + number' or 'Shift + Symbol' is completely the same as the technical implementation principle of inputting symbols by the combined key of 'Symbol function key + letter', which belongs to the known technology in the technical field, and the invention does not limit the specific implementation mode of inputting symbols by the combined key of Symbol.
For the existing computer keyboard, the symbols can not be input in the mode of a 'symbol space + letter' combined key, and the symbols can only be input in the alternative mode of the 'symbol caps + letter' combined key, which is an unfortunate measure. The best way for the user is to purchase an entirely new keyboard that supports the "symbol space + letter" combination key input symbols.
The keyboard input mode of the computer is an operation habit for most people, the habit of a user is difficult to change, and the key of the challenge difficulty is to provide a brand-new choice on the basis of not influencing the traditional habit of the user. The invention provides a brand-new symbol input mode for users on the basis of completely reserving the traditional symbol input habit, so that the users can gradually accept and use the brand-new symbol input mode after seeing the brand-new symbol key layout, and finally the traditional symbol input mode is completely abandoned.
In a plurality of patent application documents applied by the inventor, how to perform brand new editing key layout, numeral key layout, symbol key layout and brand new editing operation mode, numeral input mode and symbol input mode on 3 rows and 10 columns of reference key positions of a computer keyboard are respectively described. The present invention is a basic component for improving computer keyboard series technology. In another plurality of patent application documents filed later on in the invention, more improvement and optimization will be carried out on the symbol input on the computer keyboard, including more improvement and optimization on the symbol input on different character computer keyboards in French, German and the like.
