Definitions
- Keyboards use different meta keys, such as Shift, Control, Alt, and Alt-Gr keys, to output different characters associated with a second, multi-assigned key, depending on the country-specific typology. For this purpose, a respective meta-key and the respective second key are pressed simultaneously. As a sign are all
- Characters in the so-called ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character code are e.g. Characters such as "a”, “B”, “+”, “ ⁇ _”, but also non-visible characters such as the character associated with a remove key.
- Meta keys are relatively small and thus are not easy to hit with the fingers. This is e.g. for laptop computers for the AIt-Gr and the right-control key.
- a first character key which is assigned a first character, is pressed.
- the first character key e.g. a space bar associated with it
- pressing the first character key causes a timer to start.
- a second key associated with a second and a third character, e.g. the key assigned the characters "7" as the second character and " ⁇ " as the third character causes the output of the third character.
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to output a third character assigned to a multi-assigned, second key without requiring a press of the second key together with a meta key which is frequently not ambidextrous in the ten-finger system.
- continuous writing in the ten-finger system can be considerably facilitated, in particular if the first character key used is a key lying centrally on the keyboard, for example the space key, which can be easily reached by both hands.
- the first character key and the second key in the ten-finger system can usually be reached with different hands, so that usually a simultaneous, the write flow inhibiting pressing both keys can be avoided with one hand.
- the first character when using a key located on the keyboard, the first character, the pressing of this first character key and the second keys with one hand at least facilitated.
- releasing the first character key may act like a timer expiration. Thus, it is not necessary to wait for the actual duration of the timer before entering further characters.
- the second key can be assigned a fourth character, eg "#", and another character key, which is assigned a further character, can be provided as another character key, eg a space key with assigned space, a return Key, function key, cursor key or else in the ten-finger system light and / or ambidextrous be reached button.
- pressing the further character key can cause a start of a further timer, which may also be identical to the first timer. Before the expiration of the further timer and release of the further character key, pressing the second key may cause an output of the fourth character. Before expiration of the further timer and pressing the second key, releasing the further character key can cause an output of the further character. After the expiration of the further timer and releasing the further character key, pressing the second key can cause an output of the second character.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention can be designed so that the same character is assigned to the two character keys. For example, two spaces could be placed on the keyboard, each of which will emit the space when pressed. Upon depression of the first space key and the second key, e.g. Key "Q”, then the third character, e.g., "@”, may be output, while upon depression of the second space key and the same second key, a fourth character other than the third character, e.g. "#" Can be output.
- a second timer possibly identical to the first timer can be started when the second key is pressed. After the second timer has elapsed, the third character can then be output repeatedly.
- a duration function can also be activated for characters which can be output by pressing a character key and a second key.
- a third timer is started.
- This third timer may, for example, be identical to the first and / or second timer. If the first character key is still pressed when the third timer expires, the first character can be output repeatedly. If, on the other hand, the second key is still pressed when the third timer expires, the second character is output repeatedly.
- releasing both depressed keys before the third timer expires may cause the third timer to terminate. As a result, the user does not have to wait until the timer has expired, but can continue to input characters.
- the figures 1 and 2 each show a schematic diagram of a flowchart for illustrating the timing of keyboard operations.
- Figures 1 and 2 each show a schematic diagram of a flowchart for illustrating the timing of keyboard operations with a rightward, horizontal time axis T.
- a press of a respective key is represented by a vertical arrow down, a release of each key by a vertical arrow upwards.
- a dotted line illustrates which character is output at which time or in which time period.
- the space key TSP is preferably provided as a first character key TSP.
- the "Q" key of a commercial keyboard is exemplarily used, the first character key TSP is the space as the first character SP and the second key TQ is the character "q" as the second character and the character "@" as the third character assigned.
- FIG. 1 shows a method sequence according to the invention in which the space key TSP is pressed at the beginning.
- a first timer is started at a time TS with a time preset ZV illustrated by a hatched bar. If the TQ key is pressed after pressing the space key TSP before the first timer has expired, the character "@" is output thereby and a second timer is started at time TS2 with a time setting ZV2.
- this pressing of the TQ key before the expiration of the timer can cause the timer to prematurely terminate (not shown in the drawing).
- the second timer may be identical to the first timer.
- the second timer may cause the second timer to be prematurely terminated (not shown in the drawing).
- the second timer expires before the key TQ is released at a timing TE2 illustrated by a short vertical line
- the character "@" is repeatedly outputted, which corresponds to a persistent function activated by a long press of a key
- This release causes a further timer to start at a time TS3, illustrated by a short vertical line in Figure 1, at a timing ZV3, after the expiration of the further timer at a point of time illustrated by a short vertical line TE3 will now the space SP is repeatedly issued. This again corresponds to a continuous function, which is activated by pressing a key for a longer time. Releasing the space key TSP ends the output of the space SP.
- FIG. 2 shows a method sequence in which the keys are actuated in a different order from FIG.
- the space key TSP is pressed, whereby at the time TS a timer with a, by a hatched bar illustrated
- Timing ZV is started. If, unlike FIG. 1, the TSP key is released before the timer has expired, the character SP is output and the timer is prematurely terminated at a time TE illustrated by a short vertical line. Will after the
- the method sequence illustrated in FIG. 2 differs from a conventional character output in particular in that the character SP associated with the first character key TSP is not output when the first character key TSP is pressed but only when this character key TSP is released.
