Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, in a key input device for a conventional touch panel type computer terminal, user friendliness of a keyboard is adverse since positions of keys of the keyboard per se are not known if video images are not watched.SOLUTION: The keys are simply displayed by utilizing the same key display cooperating an input key with a conversion key, such that keys can be recognized at a glance. An input support panel can be installed on a panel of a touch panel type and even without removing the support panel, the panel can be accommodated at a rear side of a computer terminal. Therefore, an input support instrument can be easily used and an effective computer terminal or the like that does not affect display video images on a display can be used.

Description

  The present invention relates to an input keyboard displayed on a screen in a computer such as a touch panel type personal computer or a touch panel type electronic book terminal, and an improvement in the exterior of a computer around the input keyboard.

  If the video display screen of the display or the like is not flat, unevenness will be in the way when other images are displayed, so a conventional touch panel computer keyboard can only display the keyboard itself, that is, the key position unless you are watching the video. Since the key was not simple, the keyboard itself was simplified, making the keyboard unusable.

  FIG. 1 is an example of a simplified view of a general touch panel type computer as viewed from the front. (1) is an edge of the display screen, (2) is a display portion of the screen, and an arrow in (3) is ( 1) The range in the vicinity is shown.

  The above example is described for explanation, and there are various types such as a sheet storage box and a sheet packaging the sheet storage box.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-241889 shows a touch screen type keypad that selects and inputs numbers and other characters assigned to the first key by selective operation of the second key. Since there are a plurality of alphabets for the “numeric key” and the input of the alphabet often requires the button to be pressed a plurality of times, the number of times the finger is moved increases.

  Special table 2006-526857 is for selectively operating virtual switches labeled with alphabetic characters and numbers after inputting one of ten virtual switches labeled with numerals 0-9. Shows a touch panel type character input method for selecting and inputting numbers and other English characters, but this device also requires the input of a plurality of buttons to input the alphabet as in the above-mentioned 0005. .

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-092441 is marked with a touch panel type character input method for selecting and inputting numbers assigned to 12 keys and other English characters by selective operation of the tab key. In order to input “”, the English character key must be pressed many times.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-273075 has a touch panel type input device provided with protrusions for identifying a reference position outside the screen display (hereinafter, protrusions having the same function are referred to as “identification protrusions”). Does not exist near the position of the projection of a normal personal computer keyboard, and it requires familiarity with the operation.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-222105 is a keyboard in which the movement of fingers is reduced as much as possible, but the shape is far from that of a general keyboard, and it is necessary to get used to the operation.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 08-064063 is provided with a protrusion on a transparent touch key unit that adheres to a screen.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-181629 is a combination of a flat transparent film and a transparent film with irregularities.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-117721 provides a detachable guidance having holes corresponding to respective keys on a touch panel keyboard.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-216078 is provided with key identification irregularities on a displayed key.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-281959 has a structure in which a finger slips easily and a slippery part on the touch panel screen.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-293945 has a touch-sensitive structure corresponding to a sensor shape (a physical structure that can be touched by a user with a fingertip) and a touch panel.

The effect of the above 0024 is
Since the key position can be grasped with the same feeling as a normal keyboard, the user can easily operate the keys.

The effect of the above 0025 is
Since the angle of the computer terminal can be changed when the computer terminal is placed on a desk or the like, the user can easily adjust the angle of the computer terminal.

  The effect of the above 0026 is that the computer itself has the function of claim 1 of the present invention and can be used, so that the computer itself can be slimmed.

  The effect of the above 0027 is that the numbers corresponding to these characters are assigned to the keys representing F7, F8, F9, U, I, O, J, K, L, and N of a personal computer keyboard. Since the keyboard can be displayed in a compact manner, you can enter and display numeric keys that are similar to the keyboard layout and numeric keys that are similar to the character layout of a normal computer. It is possible to display a wide range of a portion for projecting characters and characters and to input handwritten characters using a touch mouse or touch panel that functions as a mouse.

The effect of the above 0028 is that the key display area of the key displayed on the touch panel is widened to make it easy to input directly with a finger, or the key contact area is narrowed to widen the space between the keys. Since it is possible to prevent the panel from reacting excessively even if it hits unexpectedly, it has the effect that the auxiliary device for the touch panel is easy to use.
