Description

A kind of improved computer color keyboard

Technical field

The utility model is a kind of improved computer color keyboard, relates to desktop computer keyboard, keyboard of notebook computer and palm PC keyboard.

Technical background

The computer keyboard that we use today can be divided into four parts on function: 1. standard character keyboard portion (claiming the type writer key disc portion again), 2. function keyboard part, 3. numeric keypad part, 4. cursor control key disc portion (editing key disc portion).Its principle of work is: at first produce a hardware interrupts electric signal by keyswitch, again the scan code of this signal correspondence is delivered to the BIOS of computing machine, then by scan code being converted to one 16 word value, to respond this interruption, the low byte of word comprises the ASCII character of institute's button, high byte comprises scan code, and BIOS puts into keyboard buffer with these two byte values.Nowadays use to such an extent that be that " enhancement mode " keyboard of 101 keys and the natural keyboard that 104 keys are arranged that Microsoft provides are arranged the most widely, these two kinds of keyboards all have two＜Shift〉key, two＜Alt key (keyboard of European countries such as English, method, moral, meaning is an a left side＜Alt〉right side＜AltGr of key key, on the Apple Computers keyboard＜Alt mark on the key be＜Option) and two＜Ctrl the key two ends, the left and right sides that lay respectively at space bar are used for and other key combination realizes state exchange.By＜Shift〉key,＜Alt key and＜Ctrl key and other key combination can obtain 7 kinds of composite states, for having＜AltGr〉keyboard of key is 8 kinds of composite states.9 kinds of key position states are altogether: singly-bound attitude, the state of an independent key (a kind of singly-bound attitude); Two key combination attitudes,＜Shift〉key+other key,＜Alt〉key+other key,＜Ctrl〉key+other key,＜AltGr〉key+other key (totally 4 kinds of two key combination attitudes); The triple bond composite state,＜Shift〉key+＜Alt〉key+other key,＜Alt〉key+＜Ctrl〉key+other key,＜Ctrl〉key+＜Shift〉key+other key (totally 3 kinds of triple bond composite states); The quadruple linkage composite state,＜Shift〉key+＜Alt〉key+＜Ctrl〉key+other key (a kind of quadruple linkage composite state); Other key is meant the character keys of type writer key disc portion, the function key of function keyboard part, the digital symbol key of numeric keypad part, the editing key of editing key disc portion.More than be fully used in 9 kinds of key position states have only singly-bound attitude and two key attitudes＜Shift combination,＜Alt〉combination and＜Ctrl the combination certain applications in hot key and shortcut, three key combinations and quadruple linkage combination are except that a small amount of hot key and shortcut utilization, most by idle, though in the word processor Word of Microsoft, provided self-defined shortcut program, but in most cases people still obtain the character that can not find on the keyboard by the way of click symbol table, reason is＜Shift〉key,＜Alt〉key,＜Ctrl〉on the key symbol of same color and the combination that other key constitutes be not easy to memory, be very easy to during application obscure.The type writer key disc portion of keyboard has 26 letter keys, 21 digital symbol keys and 1 space bar, in 255 ASCII character that their are only corresponding 95, and many characters commonly used can't directly obtain from keyboard; And on the other hand, the composite state of key position is left unused in a large number, and the resource of keyboard is not fully used.

Summary of the invention

It is a kind of at＜Shift that the purpose of this utility model is that the shortcoming at original keypad character lazy weight provides〉key,＜Alt〉key,＜AltGr〉key,＜Ctrl〉have the keyboard of colour-coded on the key, utilize human eye the susceptibility of color to be determined fast the colour symbolism of Macintosh state correspondence, composite state extended keyboard character quantity by the key position is convenient for people to use.

The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: existing keyboard＜Shift key,＜Alt key,＜AltGr key,＜Ctrl key is marked with colour-coded, composite state corresponding to each key position, provide a kind of marker color, make key bit pattern attitude corresponding one by one with marker color, the color of newly adding the color character on a certain key position to is identical with the marker color of its key bits corresponding composite state.Described keyboard comprises: function keyboard part:＜Esc〉F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7F8 F9 F10 F11 F12＜PrintScrn〉＜ScrollLock〉＜Pause 〉; The standard character keyboard portion: first row: the `1 234567890-=＜Backspace 〉; Second the row:＜Tab〉Q W E R T Y U I O P[]; The 3rd row:＜CapsLock〉A S D F G H J K L; '＜Enter 〉; The 4th row:＜Shift〉Z X C V B N M ./＜Shift 〉; The 5th row:＜Ctrl〉＜Alt〉space bar＜AltGr〉＜Ctrl 〉; Editing key disc portion:＜Insert〉＜Home〉＜PageUp〉＜Delete〉＜End〉＜PageDown〉← → ↑ →; The numeric keypad part: 12345678 90+-/. *＜Enter〉＜NumLock 〉.It is characterized in that:＜Ctrl key,＜Alt〉key,＜AltGr〉key,＜Shift〉coloured mark on the key.The corresponding black Black (Bk) of singly-bound attitude wherein,＜Shift〉the corresponding black Black (Bk) of attitude,＜Ctrl〉the corresponding magenta Magenta (M) of attitude,＜Alt〉the corresponding blue Blue (B) of attitude,＜AltGr〉the corresponding orange Orange (O) of attitude,＜Shift 〉+＜Alt〉the corresponding yellow Yellow (Y) of attitude,＜Alt 〉+＜Ctrl〉the corresponding cyan Cyan (C) of attitude,＜Ctrl 〉+＜Shift〉the corresponding red R ed (R) of attitude,＜Shift 〉+＜Alt 〉+＜Ctrl〉the corresponding green Green (G) of attitude.The first method of color mark is:＜Shift〉character Shift on the key is black (Bk), there is a circular colour code that indicates red (R) yellow (Y) green (G) three looks on the next door;＜Alt〉character Alt on the key is blue (B), there is a circular colour code that indicates yellow (Y) green (G) three looks of green grass or young crops (C) on the next door;＜Ctrl〉character Ctrl on the key is magenta (M), there is a circular colour code that indicates red (R) blue or green (C) green (G) three looks on the next door; On the relative keys position of keyboard, the corresponding a kind of key bit pattern attitude of each newly-increased color character.The second method of color mark is: a left side＜Shift〉upper surface of key is black (Bk), and left surface is red (R), and right flank is yellow (Y), and preceding facade is green (G); A left side＜Alt〉the key upper surface is blue (B), and left surface be blue or green (C), and right flank is a Huang (Y), and preceding facade is green (G); A left side＜Ctrl〉the key upper surface is pinkish red (M), and left surface is red (R), and right flank be a green grass or young crops (C), and preceding facade is green (G);
