Embodiment
Shown in Fig. 1 (a) is the key top plane view of the related keyboard of embodiment of the present invention 100.Keyboard 100 in the present embodiment comprises first key 101, second key 102, triple bond 103, quadruple linkage 104, the 5th key 105 and the 6th key 106, six keys altogether, and be arranged in vertical 3 row, horizontal 2 row.Lattice shape be arranged and be configured to each key both can with form of straight lines, also can be along the motion track configuration of finger.Preferably according to the mode that forefinger, middle finger, nameless these three fingers are cosily pressed can being disposed.These three fingers all can more freely move than thumb and little finger of toe.Therefore, as the bond number that can cosily knock by these three fingers under the state of wrist basic fixed and the layout of key, the keyboard 100 of the present embodiment is configured to 2 row, 3 row with key.
The investigation result figure that shown in Figure 2 is when carrying out the input of English character according to the kind of keyboard.The present inventor infers the bond number that is fit to touch system according to this investigation result.This investigation is with the artificial until old object of pupil, require the keyboard of 27 keys of operation, 3 keys, 6 keys and 9 keys, be divided into Pyatyi evaluation for " number of key ", " easiness of touch system ", " easiness of memory ", " simplification of demonstration ", " the touching number of each character ", " dexterity of operation " and " with the operability of mouse ".Fig. 2 be gather separately mean value and the figure of aggregate value.
" easiness of memory " is meant the memory easiness of the character of distributing to each key." simplification of demonstration " is meant the Yi Jianxing of the character of distributing to each key." the touching number of each character " is meant the required touching number of times of character that input is wanted.Usually, input character can for example can form Morse code, thereby import whole character by distinguishing the length of touching time with a key.In addition, if the factor of the time of removal then can be imported whole character with 2 keys.If this mode is carried out rough classification, then can be divided into the N way of contact and expansion key mode.In the N way of contact, if determine a character, then become i.e. 32 keys of 25 powers with 5 contacts, can import English character.On the other hand, in expansion key mode, if with R as the expansion key, L is as end key, for example with right button as R, left button is as L, then key input becoming L, RL, RRL, RRRL ...., RRR....RRRL.That is, can be according to the occurrence number of R corresponding to character arbitrarily.Trial with the key input character of negligible amounts mainly all is the combination or the distortion of these modes.
Usually, the quantity of key is few more, and the touching number of times of each character is just many more." dexterity of operation " is meant the complexity that touch system is skilled.By being that the total of the keyboard of six keys is the highest in the investigation aspect these factors to the evaluation result of keyboard to the people of each age group.The inventor thinks, from this result also suitable touch system of the keyboard of six keys as can be seen.Thus, the present inventor createed can be with the keyboard of Fig. 1 (a) of six key English input characters.
In order to import whole English characters with six keys, keyboard 100 knocks character of input by twice.In order to carry out knocking input twice, English character is divided into group below six or six, every group comprises the character below six or six, each set of dispense is on each key.And, by touching selection first time group.In case selected group, any one in six keys distributed in then selected group of character that comprises.Further select to distribute to the character of each key by the touching second time.
On first key 101 of Fig. 1 (a), be assigned " A, B, H, I " as first group; On second key 102, be assigned " C, D, E, J, K, L " as second group.Equally, on triple bond 103, quadruple linkage 104, the 5th key 105 and the 6th key 106, be assigned " F, G, M, N ", " O, P, V, W ", " Q, R, S, X, Y, the Z " and " T, U " of grouping respectively.For example, during input " J ", the user at first presses and distributes to second group second key 102, then, presses quadruple linkage 104.In inside, if press second key 102, then select second group " C, D, E, J, K, L ", and second group of character distributed to each key shown in Fig. 1 (b).That is to say that first key 101, " D " that " C " distributes to second key, 102 left sides distributes to second key 102, " E " and distribute to the 5th key 105, " L " that quadruple linkage 104, " K " that triple bond 103, " J " on second key, 102 right sides distribute to second key, 102 lower lefts distribute to second key, 102 belows and distribute to second key, 102 bottom-right the 6th keys 106.And if the user presses quadruple linkage 104, then output is assigned to " J " on the quadruple linkage 104.
The user on each key, is marked with character, so that can discern the character that is included in the group intuitively and be assigned the key that is included in the character in this group after the selection group.In the figure, the mode according to the key of imitation keyboard 100 is arranged is marked with the character of importing by button on the position corresponding with key.In the figure, when six of character less thaies in the group that is included in first key, 101 grades, corresponding to the blank mark of the part of the key that does not distribute character.Thus, the user can grasp intuitively in order to import the key that the character wanted should be pressed.In other example, blank also can be set come mark.In the case, preferably, key distributed in character according to the mode that is marked at rules such as upper left character is corresponding with first key 101.
In addition, by the character of distributing to each key is distributed according to certain rule, can make the easy array memory of key, and can shorten the time of skillfully carrying out touch system.That is, in the figure, per 7 of English character is formed a line, and be divided into six groups, so that comprise six characters at most in a group with two vertical lines and a horizontal line.In other example, " A, B, C, D " can be distributed to first key 101, " E, F, G, H, I, J " and distribute to second key 102, " K, L, M, N " and distribute to triple bond 103, " O, P, Q, R " and distribute to that quadruple linkage 104, " S, T, U, V, W, X " are distributed to the 5th key 105, " Y, Z " distributes to the 6th key 106.
In addition, the character priority allocation that frequently occurs can be given should be with the key pressed of the finger of button easily in forefinger, middle finger, the third finger.For example, owing to it has been generally acknowledged that the easiest key of pressing of forefinger, so the character that frequently occurs can be distributed to first key 101 and the quadruple linkage 104.In addition, owing to compare with the same finger of continuous motion, the easier motion of the mode of alternating movement finger is so also can distribute to the character that frequently occurs dispersedly first key 101, quadruple linkage 104, second key 102, the 6th key 106 that should press with forefinger and middle finger.It all is arbitrarily that the character of arbitrary key distributes, and can set accordingly with the characteristic of speech sounds of input, the character incoming frequency in the language, user's kinetic characteristic etc.
Fig. 3 is an internal structure figure of realizing the input media 150 of Fig. 1 (a) and the described keyboard 100 of Fig. 1 (b).Angled from hardware group, each inscape of input media 150 mainly comprises: the memory modules such as CPU, internal memory and hard disk of any computing machine.Wherein, in described hard disk, store the program that is loaded in the described internal memory and realizes the inscape of this figure.But those of ordinary skill in the art should be appreciated that in this implementation, device and has variation pattern miscellaneous.It is described later that respectively to scheme represented be not the formation of hardware unit, but the functional unit piece.
Fig. 4 is the processing flow chart in the control part 152.If input media 150 starts, then input media 150 at first carries out initialization (S10) to being used for impact damper that after-stage handles etc.For example 152 pairs of control parts keep the impact damper (hereinafter to be referred as " second impact damper ") of the code of the key that the impact damper (hereinafter to be referred as " first impact damper ") and keeping of the code of the key pressed for the first time presses the second time to carry out initialization.Providing from key input part 158 under the situation of key code by the mode of pressing for the first time, control part 152 deposits it in first impact damper (S12).Secondly, providing from key input part 158 under the situation of key code by the mode of pressing for the second time, control part 152 deposits it in second impact damper (S14).Then, control part 152 is determined character (S16) according to the combination that remains on the key code in first impact damper and second impact damper.
Shown in Figure 5 is an example that is used for determining according to the key code that remains on first impact damper and second impact damper form of character.This form remains in the storage part 156 of Fig. 3.By just determining character with reference to this form.For example, when maintaining the key code of second key 102 in the key code that maintains first key 101 in first impact damper, second impact damper, control part 152 is selected characters " B ", the character code of efferent 154 output characters " B " by Fig. 3.So just can knock input character by twice.
For the keyboard 100 with six keys uses as common keyboard, for example need to carry out the input of backspace, line feed, space, symbol, small letter etc.For this reason, in the part of not setting, can distribute the character code that adapts with it.For example, backspace can be imported by the mode of pressing first key 101 after pressing triple bond 103 again.In addition, from " situation 1 " to " situation 8 " all has the function of expansion key respectively, had after the expansion key, just can determine character by button for the third time.Press after the 6th key 106, be defined as " TSK (Two Stroke Key: twice knock key) " by " situations 8 " determined by quadruple linkage 104.In addition,, mean afterwards, import " E ", " X " more successively in input " TSK " with under the situation of " TSK+ex " mark.If the arrangement with key embodies, then " the 6th key 106 ", " quadruple linkage 104 ", " second key 102 ", " triple bond 103 ", " the 5th key 105 ", " quadruple linkage 104 " are pressed in expression successively.
Shown in Figure 6 is at the figure that selects the form of control part 152 references when pressing the character that key determines for the third time.This form remains in Fig. 3 storage part 156.For example, when input " Enter (carriage return) ", press first key 101, triple bond 103 and first key 101 successively.Thus,, can increase the number of characters of importing with six keys, for example, use full keyboard such as 109 Japanese keyboards just can import whole characters by the mode of definition expansion key.
Get back to Fig. 4, whether control part 152 presses down the key input (S18) that judges whether to exist for the third time according to the expansion key.Under the situation that does not have key input for the third time (S18 is a "No"), 152 pairs first impact dampers of control part and second impact damper reset (S22), and wait for the key (A) that is used to import character late until pressing.When existing under the situation press key for the third time (S18 is a "Yes"), the key code that control part 152 is waited for for the third time, and by for the first time, for the second time, the combination of key code for the third time, determine character code (S20).Thus, by just importing many characters with the character of the order of key code and each input is corresponding one by one.For this reason, in step 20, control part 152 must be provided by the key code that is provided by key input part 158, up to finishing to press a series of key.Pending in order effectively to carry out these, for example can use Hash table (hash table).By using Hash table, can effectively differentiate the suitable bond order that is used for the character input and knocking the inappropriate bond order of mistake etc.
An example of the Hash table of the bond order of shown in Figure 7 is each input character of definition.In the figure, key code, " 101,102 " expression of " 101 " expression first key 101 are pressed after first key 101, press second key 102.For example when being input to " TSK+e ", the control part 152 of Fig. 3 must judge whether to wait for key input next time.Because registering in the Hash table of Fig. 7 has " TSK+ex ", so control part 152 is waited for key input next time.In addition, do not having registration to have under the situation of the order that is right after " TSK+e ", control part 152 is judged as input error.By using such Hash table, control part 152 can judge whether to wait for key input next time effectively.
Get back to Fig. 3,160 pairs of forms that remain in the storage part 156 of changing unit change.Thus, input media 150 can define according to user's the indication bond order to each character.For example, changing unit 160 both can offer for example display part of monitor with the character of change, and the bond order that the user is knocked is registered in the form then, also can be by other the new bond order of method registration.In other example, also changing unit 160 can be set.
An example when the key group that is to use 4 row, 3 row shown in Fig. 8 (a) is distributed to each key with character code, this key group is the part of full keyboard or numerical key etc.Keyboard 100 shown in Fig. 1 (a) is configured in the upside in these 4 row, 3 row key groups, downside according to can a keystroke mode of input be assigned the high keys of usage frequency such as " TSK ", " SFT ", " CAP ", " BAK ", " NUM ".Thus, except being used to import six keys of main character, can be by the number of times that the high key of usage frequency reduces touching be set, thus can improve input efficiency.At this, " SFT " is " Shift " key, and its English character with next input character is transformed into capitalization or small letter." CAP " is " Caps Lock " key, whenever clicks and can switch on/off." BAK " is " BackSpace ", and " NUM " is " Num Lock " key.By connecting " Num Lock " key, the numerical key of full keyboard partly switches to the arrangement of Fig. 8 (a), by disconnecting the arrangement of the common numerical key that then switches to Fig. 8 (b).
In addition, as an example of the input in this example, being used to import " Ctrl " key of hiding control routine can work to a character after the input " TSK+ct ".Promptly, under input " ^a " situation (Ctrl+a), can import " TSK+ct+A " in the present embodiment, the mode of the 6th key 106, quadruple linkage 104, second key 102, first key 101, the 6th key 106, second key 102, first key 101, first key 101 of just can pressing is successively imported.In addition, can also use " Ctrl " key and mouse collaborative work, if continuously by twice " Ctrl " key then can switch the on/off of mouse.
The mark of key end face is arbitrarily, can be transformed into form miscellaneous according to the language etc. of input.Shown in Figure 9 is the another one example of key end face.This key top not only is marked with English character, and is marked with a part of special character as sub-character group 120.For example, on first key 101, as sub-character group 120 " (enter),! , ", #, $, % " and " (Caps), ﹠amp; , ', (), * " be marked at the top of capital characters group 124 " A, B, H, I ".Sub-character group 120 can import by the expansion key.These characters are imported by the bond order of Fig. 6 " situation 1 " and " situation 2 ".The mark that sub-character group 120 is different from capital characters group 124 carries out mark according to the mode that the user can recognize.For example, sub-character group 120 both can carry out mark with the size less than capital characters group 124, also can be with carrying out mark than capital characters group's 124 inconspicuous fonts.In addition, sub-character group 120 top, below, right side, left side of being marked at capital characters group 124 etc. do not influence the position of capital characters group 124 observability.
For after chooser character group 120, be convenient to the character that each key is distributed in user identification, paragraph marks 122 is marked at a left side and rises between the 3rd character and the 4th character.That is to say, in the figure, " (enter),! , " " distribute to first key 101, second key 102, triple bond 103 respectively, " #, $, % " distributes to quadruple linkage 104, the 5th key 105, the 6th key 106 respectively.The shape of paragraph marks 122 is arbitrarily, also can be " | " other form in addition in other embodiments.In addition, in other embodiments, paragraph marks 122 is mark not also.
Figure 10 and shown in Figure 11 be respectively the bond order figure that is used to import special character and special keys.For example, input "! " time, bond order becomes " TSK+ex ".That is, for import "! ", can press the 6th key 106, quadruple linkage 104, second key 102, triple bond 103, the 5th key 105, the 6th key 106 successively.The bond order that is used to import these special characters and special keys defines according to the unduplicated mode of bond order, and remains in the storage part 156 of Fig. 3.In addition, the bond order of each character according to will be for example the name of shortenings titles such as the fore-end of character title or abbreviation constitute with the mode that " TSK " makes up.For example, "! " be called " exclamation mark (exclamation mark) ", two characters " ex " of its front end are connected on " TSK " have just become its bond order afterwards.Thus, the user just can be easy to remember the bond order of each character.Just can use six whole English character, special character, special keys of key input by above-mentioned bond order.
In addition, according to the bond order described in the embodiment, because the user can be under the state of wrist basic fixed, at the finger of hand operating key in the scope movably, so can be used as the input media that for example has only the active disabled person of finger tip.In addition, because the key that uses has only six, so even the size change of key is big, the size of whole keyboard is also not too large.Therefore, according to the feature of the health that is used to import, the size that key can be sized to be fit to.For example, each key is sized to 20cm * 20cm, can forms the keyboard that uses the pin operation, perhaps use head, chin, hold keyboard of operating in the mouth pen etc. or the like in the month.Certainly, the size of key also can disunity, also can constitute keyboard with the key of different size.Thus,, can make the size of each key have the design space, make the design aspect of keyboard have dirigibility by reducing the quantity of key.
More than describe the present invention by embodiment.Those of ordinary skill in the art is to be appreciated that; embodiment just illustrates; and the combination of its each inscape and each handling procedure can have the embodiment of various distortion, and these distortion embodiments are also contained in protection scope of the present invention.
Industrial applicibility
According to the present invention, can use the effective input character of the less keyboard of bond number amount.
