The keyboard input practice device 10 is a keyboard input practice device for practicing character input by operating keyboard keys, and is provided by a questioning means 110 for asking characters for practicing keyboard key operations and keyboard key operations. The question is given by the questioning means 110 with reference to the storage means 12 (operation key position information database 121) that stores the input character and the position information of the operation key to be operated in order to input the character in association with each other. The presenting means 111 presents the position information of the operation key to be operated in order to input the character. In addition, the position information of the key to be operated for inputting characters includes the finger (yubi) designation information for designating the finger to be operated and the operation position designation information for designating the position to be operated with the finger, and the operation position is included. It is essential that the designated information is an operation position compared with the reference position, with the position of each finger when the hand is held at the home position, which is the basic state for operating the keyboard, as the reference position. ..

The keyboard input practice device 10 of the present embodiment includes a display (not shown) and a keyboard 15a. The keyboard input practice device 10 is a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores a CPU (Central Processing Unit) having a calculation function, a work RAM (Random Access Memory), various data and programs (including the keyboard input practice program of the present invention). ) Or a control unit 11 as a computer of the present invention composed of a hard disk drive or the like, a storage means 12 for storing various information such as a character to be asked and a position information of an operation key operated to input the character, various information. Is received from a user who operates a playback output unit 13, a display means 14 including a display screen 14a such as a monitor, and a keyboard input practice device 10 (not shown), and instructions according to the instructions. With other devices via an operation unit 15 (including, for example, a keyboard 15a, a mouse, a home button, and a touch panel on a display screen 14a) that gives a signal to the control unit 11, and various communication networks (including an Internet line, etc.). It is configured to include a communication unit 16 for performing communication. The components are connected to each other.

The control unit 11 realizes various functions, for example, by executing a program held in the memory by the processor. The processor may include an MPU (Micro processing Unit), a CPU, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit), and the like.

The arithmetic and logic calculation unit and various registers (program counter, data register, instruction register, general-purpose register, etc.) included in the control unit 11 are installed in a personal computer via a program stored in the ROM (for example, the communication unit 16). Interpret and execute the application (keyboard input practice program) according to the present invention. Specifically, the keyboard input practice program is executed by instructing the start of the program by the instruction signal received from the operation unit 15.

The storage means 12 stores the operation key position information database 121, the history database 122, and the like.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing various information such as characters to be asked questions stored in the operation key position information database 121 and position information of operation keys operated to input the characters. In the operation key position information database 121, the character to be asked, the position information of the operation key operated to input the character, and the image information of the position information of the operation key are stored in association with each other.
The position information of the operation key includes the finger (yubi) designation information (“right middle finger”) that specifies the finger to be operated to input the character and the operation position designation information that specifies the position to be operated by the finger. .. Further, in the example of FIG. 2, the image information of the position information of the operation key is further associated and stored as the position information of the operation key.

The history database 122 stores, for example, history information such as correct answers and incorrect answers of each question at that time, as well as the date and time when the user performed the exercise.

Next, the keyboard input practice process will be described with reference to the figure.
When the keyboard input practice process is started, the questioning means 110 of the control unit 11 questions the user a character for practicing the key operation. For example, in the character selection menu (not shown) on the practice character selection screen displayed on the display screen 14a, among the characters stored in the operation key position information database 121, the user can practice inputting this time by operating the mouse or the like. When a character to be used is selected, information about the selected character is stored in the working RAM or the like of the control unit 11 from the operation key position information database 121.

3 to 5 are diagrams showing display operations associated with keyboard input practice processing of the keyboard input practice device 10. The figure is a table of the display screen 14a at the time of the input practice performed based on each information associated with the character "ki" stored in the operation key position information database 121 when the input practice of "ki" is selected. It is an example. In the example of the figure, "Ki" input practice "How to put out" Ki "" is displayed and the question is given.

The questioning means 110 of the control unit 11 may initially select characters whose difficulty level is gradually increased from characters that are easy to input and set the questions. Characters that are easy to input are, for example, those in which the operation key to be operated to input characters is only the right hand, or the operation position specification information of the operation key remains at the home position, that is, the position of each finger is used as a reference. Those that remain in position, etc.

Here, the home position is a reference position that is the basis for performing blind touch typing. For example, in the keyboard 15a shown in FIG. 6, the home position key of the index finger of the left hand is the key 15a (1), and the home position key of the index finger of the right hand is the key 15a (2).

The present invention is not a method of practicing inputting each character by a combination of alphabets (Roman characters). This is a method of practicing input by combining the positions of the keys to be operated in order to input each character. Therefore, a plain keyboard without alphabets, kana characters, or other notations may be used for each key.

To explain the home position position using a well-known commercially available JIS keyboard, for convenience, "Home position is" F / ha "for the left hand home position key, and" J / ma "for the right hand home position key. Keys correspond to each. It becomes an explanation.

When the character input practice is started, the presentation means 110 of the control unit 11 refers to the operation key position information database 121 of the storage means 12, and the position of the operation key to be operated in order to input the questioned character. Information is displayed (presented) on the display screen 14a of the display means 14. In the case of input practice of the character "ki", based on the finger (yubi) designation information "right middle finger" stored in association with the character "ki" and the "home position" indicating the reference position as the operation position designation information. The position information of the operation keys is displayed on the display screen 14a.

In the example of FIG. 3, the position information of the operation key is the finger (yubi) designation information 20 (“right middle finger”), which is the position information of the operation key to be operated in order to input the questioned character “ki”. Based on the operation position designation information 21 (“home position”), the sentence “Let's press the key on the right middle finger at the home position” is generated and displayed. When presenting the position information of the operation key, as shown in FIG. 3, the user uses the finger (dashed line) designation information 20 (indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure) and the operation position designation information 21 (indicated by the broken line in the figure). You may present it in an easy-to-understand sentence to encourage input.

Further, in the example of FIG. 3, the operation key position information database 121 of the storage means 12 is referred to, and based on the image information (image 6) of the operation key position information to be operated in order to input the questioned characters. An image 22 showing the finger indicated by the finger (yubi) designation information and the operation position indicated by the operation position designation information is displayed. As a result, the user can visually and instantly recognize the finger to be operated and the position to be operated without dropping the line of sight on the keyboard.

When there are a plurality of operation keys to be operated in order to input a character, such as the character "ki", it may be displayed (presented) that the first operation key has been operated. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 3, when the first (first) operation key "" right middle finger "+" home position "" is input, for example, "*" mark 23 indicates that the input was made. (Present).

Further, as a result of the correct / incorrect determination by the control unit 11, if the answer is correct, that is, if the key indicated by the presented position information matches the input operation key, the user is informed that the answer is correct. It may be configured to be presented on the display screen or by audio output from the speaker. In the example of FIG. 3, the correct answer presentation 24 is displayed on the display screen 14a.

Next, with reference to the operation key position information database 121 of the storage means 12, the presentation means 110 of the control unit 11 displays the position information of the operation key to be operated next in order to input the character to be asked. Is displayed (presented) on the display screen 14a of. In the case of input practice of the character "ki", it is based on the next (second) finger (yubi) designation information "right middle finger" and the operation position designation information "upper", which are stored in association with the character "ki". The position information of the operation key is displayed on the display screen 14a.

In the example of FIG. 4, the position information of the operation key is the finger (yubi) designation information 20 ("right middle finger") which is the position information of the operation key to be operated second in order to input the character "ki" in question. ) And the sentence "Let's press the upper row with the right middle finger" based on the operation position designation information 21 ("upper row") is generated and displayed. Further, in the example of FIG. 4, the operation key position information database 121 of the storage means 12 is referred to, and the image 22 based on the image information (image 2) of the position information of the operation keys to be operated in order to input the characters in question is used. Is displayed.

Further, when all the operation keys to be operated for inputting a character are operated, the character is displayed (presented) on the display screen 14a. In FIG. 5, two operation keys, "" right middle finger "+" home position "" and "" right middle finger "+" upper row "", which should be operated to input the character "ki", are operated in order. This is a display example of the character 25 displayed on the display screen 14a later. If the key is operated correctly and the character 25 is correctly input by the correct / incorrect determination by the control unit 11, the correct answer presentation 24 may be displayed. ..

The questioning means 110 of the control unit 11 may give a "ki" input practice by voice from the speaker (not shown) of the playback output unit 13 instead of the question by displaying characters on the display screen 14a. ..
Further, instead of presenting the position information of the operation key by displaying characters on the display screen 14a, the presentation means 111 of the control unit 11 "try to press the upper stage with the right middle finger from the speaker (not shown) of the reproduction output unit 13. You may present the position information of the operation keys by voice saying "Let's do it".

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the image 22 based on the image information of the position information of the operation keys to be operated in order to input the characters in question depicts the shape of the hand (entire hand). The operation position designation information is presented to the user as the home position (as is), the "upper stage", or the "lower stage" with the home position as the reference position.

Therefore, of the left and right hands, the finger (yubi) designation information is the finger hand designated, and the "whole hand" moves "up" or "down" according to the operation position designation information (home). If it is a position, it will stop as it is) It is configured to draw.
By drawing the "whole hand" corresponding to such operation position designation information, the operation position can be visually recognized and easily understood as compared with the display in which only the finger to be operated extends to the position of the key to be operated.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining an example of keyboard input practice processing operation by the control unit 11 of the keyboard input practice device 10. When the user operates the operation unit 15 to instruct the start of the keyboard input practice process, the process of FIG. 7 is started. For example, the process is started by selecting a keyboard input practice application (keyboard input practice program) installed in the keyboard input practice device 10 which is a personal computer.

First, when one of the practice modes (questions) is selected by the user from the prepared practice modes (basic, applied, practice characters, etc.) (step S1), the questioning means 110 of the control unit 11 is set. The character corresponding to the selected question is displayed on the display screen 14a to prompt the input of the key to be operated, and the question is given (step S2).

Next, the presenting means 111 of the control unit 11 refers to the operation key position information database 121 of the storage means 12 and presents the position information of the operation key to be operated in order to input the character set in step S2. (Step S3). If there are multiple operation keys to be operated to enter the characters in the question, the first operation key is presented.

Then, when the user operates the keyboard 15a, the input receiving means 112 of the control unit 11 accepts the key input (step S4), and then the control unit 11 makes a correct / incorrect determination (step S5). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the operation key whose position information is presented in step S3 and the key input in step S4 match.

The result of the determination is displayed on the display screen 14a or presented by outputting audio from the speaker (step S6).
It should be noted that the determination result in step S6 may not be presented. When the judgment result is shown, the user becomes conscious of "Is it correct?" Or "Is it wrong?" If the judgment result is not presented, the user can concentrate only on the correct action without being distracted by the correctness of his / her input, and as a result, the position of the key to be operated is sent to the brain. It can promote memory.

Further, when the keyboard input practice process has a test mode and a practice mode, the determination result may not be presented in the practice mode, and the determination result may be presented in the test mode.

Further, if the answer is correct, the correct answer is associated with the question number, and if the input is incorrect, the incorrect answer is associated with the question number and is stored in the history database 122 of the storage means 12 together with the date and time. do. As a result, if the user makes a correct input, the "correct answer" is known, if the user makes an incorrect input, the "wrong answer" is known, and if the user makes a mistake, which character is mistaken for which character. Or, the history is also stored.

Next, the control unit 11 determines whether there are still operation keys to be operated in order to input the character set in step S2 (step S7), and there are still operation keys to be operated in order to input the character. In the case (step S7: Yes), the process proceeds to step S3 and the position information of the operation key to be operated next is presented. Then, the processes of steps S3 to S7 are repeated. On the other hand, if there is no operation key to be operated for inputting characters (step S7: No), the process proceeds to step S8.

In step S8, it is determined whether or not the user has instructed to proceed to the next problem (step S8), and if the user has instructed to proceed to the next problem (step S8: Yes), the process returns to step S2 and is the same. The question (character) will be asked again. Then, the processes of steps S2 to S8 are repeated. On the other hand, if there is no instruction to proceed to the next problem (step S8: No), the process proceeds to step S9.

Then, it is determined whether or not the end of the process is instructed by the user (step S9), and if the end of the process is not instructed (step S9: No), the process returns to step S8, while the end of the process ends. If instructed (step S9: Yes), the program ends.

As described above, according to the keyboard input practice device 10, the position of the operation key to be operated for inputting characters (finger to be operated, position to be operated) is compared with the reference position with the home position as the reference position. By presenting it as the operation position and practicing input, the position of the key to be operated can be fixed in the brain, so that character input can be mastered in a short period of time and dramatically improved (speed improvement, Accuracy improvement) becomes possible.

According to the present invention, it is not necessary to (1) convert the character to be input into a Roman character and then (2) operate the keys of the alphabet that compose the Roman character in order, so that a complicated Roman character that composes the character is not required. You don't have to remember the notation or the arrangement of Roman letters on the keyboard.

Further, the operation position designation information to be presented is the operation position "upper stage" compared with the reference position, with the position of each finger when the hand is held at the home position, which is the basic state for operating the keyboard 15a, as the reference position. , "Lower". As a result, each time the user presses a key, the user repositions his / her hand at the home position and presses the next key.

In this way, with the home position as the reference position, only the information of "above" or "below" the reference position is provided, so that the user presented with this information can easily understand the position of the key to be pressed instantly. Further, based on the image information of the position information of the operation keys to be operated at the same time, the finger indicated by the finger (yubi) designation information and the image 22 indicating the operation position indicated by the operation position designation information are displayed, so that the user can visually display the image 22. Can quickly recognize the position information of the operation keys to be operated.

When presenting the position information of the operation keys to be operated in order, the presenting means 111 holds both hands at the home position, which is a basic state for operating the keyboard, before presenting the position information of the next operation key. The image 22 may be configured to be displayed and presented on the display means 14. By displaying the image 22 in which both hands are held in the home position each time the key is pressed, the user can be made aware that the user is repositioned in the home position, which is the basic state, each time the key is pressed. You can learn the action of returning your hand in a shorter time.

For example, in "Practice of inputting" i "and" u "", when prompting to input "u" after "i", the operation key to be operated to input the character "i" "" right middle finger Display image 22 (Fig. 8) based on the image information (image2) of the position information of "+" upper "", and when "i" is hit (character 25 in Fig. 8), then both hands to the home position. The image 22 (FIG. 9) holding the image 22 (FIG. 9) is displayed. After that, the image 22 (FIG. 10) based on the image information (image 3) of the position information of the operation keys ““ right index finger ”+“ upper row ”” to be operated for inputting the character “U” is configured to be displayed.

According to the position information of the operation keys of the characters "i" and "u" stored in the operation key position information database 121, the right hand may press the upper key, but each time the key is pressed, the basic state is reached. In order to make the user aware that he / she will re-hold his / her hand at a certain home position (reference position), the image 22 with both hands held at the home position shown in FIG. 9 is displayed in between.

Further, the operation position indicated by the operation position designation information may be "extended push", "right", or "left" with the home position as a reference position, in addition to the "upper stage" and "lower stage". For example, the key 15a (3) of the keyboard 15a shown in FIG. 6 is "" left index finger "+" right "", the key 15a (4) is "" right index finger "+" left "", and the key 15a (5) is ". "Left index finger" + "stretch push", and key 15a (6) is "" right index finger "+" stretch push "".

In the above-described embodiment, as an example of the characters of the present invention, an example in which kana characters are associated with position information of a plurality of operation keys to be operated has been described. Specifically, an example in which kana characters are associated with the position information of one to four operation keys is described. For example, in the case of "A", the kana characters are associated with the position information of one operation key. In the case of "ka", it is associated with the position information of two operation keys, in the case of "ryo", it is associated with the position information of three operation keys, and in the case of "cha", it is associated with the position information of four operation keys. An example of associating has been described (see FIG. 2).

The present invention is not limited to kana characters, and "Kanji" may be used as an example of the characters of the present invention. It is an operation key to be operated in order to input the character with respect to the input character, and is stored in the operation key position information database 121 in association with a combination of the position information of one or a plurality of operation keys. For example, using the Chinese character "person" as an example of characters, the operation keys to be operated to input the "person" are, for example, "" right hand "+" home position "" and "left hand" + "upper row". The position information of the two operation keys may be combined and associated.

Since it is composed of a combination of a character and the position information of an operation key to be operated to input the character, it can be associated with various characters including Chinese characters.

In this embodiment, an example in which software is installed in a personal computer to realize the present invention has been described. However, the above-mentioned keyboard input practice device 10 is realized by a predetermined server on the Internet, and this server implements a computer program. By executing the above-mentioned processing, each user may access the server to execute the above-mentioned processing.
