Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a keyboard cover in which a finger position area is divided by a projection or a finger position area is displayed in different colors.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the position of a finger in a keyboard operation has been described in a diagram or the like in a manual of a personal computer or a word processor. It is something that you will remember.

[0003] At present, keyboard covers made of a material such as silicon are commercially available for the purpose of preventing breakdown and dirt due to the drop of dust or liquid on the keyboard. Further, as a practice keyboard cover, there is a keyboard cover in which an alphabet corresponding to each key is added to the keyboard cover, or a keyboard cover having vowels and consonants is colored in a different color to make it easier to see (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-18701).
9).

[0004]

These have the following disadvantages. With the spread of personal computers and word processors, many business people, students, housewives, etc. operate personal computers and word processors, and in recent years personal computers have also been installed in elementary schools,
Children are starting to operate personal computers. But,
Many of them operate the keyboard almost in their own way while learning by looking at illustrations of personal computers and word processing manuals at the initial stage of operation of personal computers, or learning operation from others. Therefore, there is a drawback in that the keyboard is operated without having to learn the operation with the correct finger arrangement, and it takes time to input characters or erroneous characters are easily input.

[0005] A keyboard cover made of a commercially available material such as silicon is intended to prevent breakdown and dirt due to the drop of dust or liquid onto the keyboard. There is no solution to learning keyboard operation with the correct finger placement. A keyboard cover in which an alphabet is attached to a keyboard cover or a vowel or a consonant is colored (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-187019) has the same effect as that of the present invention in that it is visually easy to see. By simply coloring the consonants and the consonants, the purpose of the present invention, which aims at learning the positioning of the finger pressing the keyboard, is essentially different, and the purpose of the present invention cannot be satisfied. The present invention has been made to eliminate these disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a finger position area is divided by a projection on a keyboard cover, or a finger position area is displayed in different colors to be used as a training keyboard cover. Characteristics.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The keyboard cover of the present invention can be easily attached to and detached from the keyboard, does not require complicated labor for attachment and detachment, can be freely attached and detached by a keyboard operator's intention, and does not damage the keyboard itself. Keyboard training was realized.

The embodiment of FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a keyboard cover in which the area of the finger position is divided by a projection, and the keyboard cover 1 is made of a material such as silicon and covers the keyboard almost exactly. It is formed in a shape that allows operation. The zigzag projecting projection 2 between the keys is a projection that divides the area of the finger position. The material of the convex protrusion is formed of a soft material which is the same as or equivalent to the material of the keyboard cover 1, and the height of the protrusion may be such that it does not hinder key operations. The key of the portion sandwiched between the zigzag protrusions 2 can be easily operated with the same left and right fingers.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a keyboard cover in which finger positions are displayed in different colors. The keyboard cover 1 is made of a material such as silicon, similar to the keyboard cover 1 of FIG. It is formed in a shape that allows key operation by being almost exactly covered. Regarding the color of the region of the finger position, for example, the hatched portion 3 in the figure shows only the position of the left index finger in the hatched portion, and similarly, the positions of the left and right fingers are different from each other. By coloring the color and visually indicating the position of the finger, it is possible to easily operate the determined finger position with the same finger. The keys at the portions sandwiched between the zigzag protrusions shown in FIG. 1 correspond to the left and right forefinger, middle finger, finger and little finger.

[0010]

As described above, the keyboard cover of the present invention can be mounted simply by putting it on an existing keyboard such as a personal computer or a word processor, and the finger can be positioned at the correct position of the finger on the keyboard. it can. The keyboard operator can easily and easily perform the training of operating the fingers in the protrusions and color-coded areas of the keyboard cover, and also use the covers with different heights of the protrusions of the keyboard cover. Thus, the learning speed of the keyboard operation can be increased according to the level of the keyboard operator. Further, there is an advantage that the keyboard operation can be visually enjoyed by changing the color of the keyboard cover and the projection.
