Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Correction) [Problem] To prevent finger skipping and input accurately when operating the numeric keypad of a calculator or a personal computer. SOLUTION: The central portion of the numeric keypad, that is, the keys of 8, 5 and 2 are surrounded by a rectangular frame.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Field to which the invention belongs]

 This is the field of computers and calculators.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The conventional numeric keypad surface is almost flat. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the key surface and confirm the position of the key each time. However, the finger starts to move first, and most people operate with one finger. This situation has not changed from what it was ten years ago, with the recent technological innovation.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the first place, the numbers arranged in three rows vertically on the numeric keypad should have been designed so that the three fingers, the index finger, the middle finger, and the third finger, move vertically on average. However, due to his usual habit, his or her finger will fly left and right by itself.

As a result, the movements of the fingers are not equalized, and the confirmation work is performed each time, so that the speed and accuracy are lowered, and the eyes become tired and a vicious cycle of stress and fatigue occurs. In particular, middle-aged and elderly people who have poor eyesight see the numbers in the data, look at the keys, check the numbers on the screen, and the focus is out of focus, and there is no such a troublesome tool.

With the rapid development of computers, personal information and all kinds of data are now being coded, and even bills are becoming digital money. However, no matter how hard or soft the software is upgraded, humans must enter information in some way. In some cases, typographical errors or typographical errors in a word processor can be interpreted, but typographical errors can produce definitive results. We set guidelines for it and correct it from the aspect of hardware. Furthermore, it is a major challenge to back up the information industry by correcting the habits of the human fingers, which are not used often, and linking them from both hardware and software sides.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To solve the above problems, first move the movement of the middle middle finger into a frame surrounded by a fence so that the fingers do not fly next to each other. In this state, the other fingers do not jump over 100%.

As a result, the movement of the finger is fixed in the vertical direction, and the movement itself is averaged. The more you get used to it, the more accurate and faster you can enter data.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As you can see in Fig. 1, whether it is plastic or acrylic, it can be processed immediately. I don't choose the means. First of all, from childhood, I learned the ten-key operation as a correct finger movement.

[0009]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 For the time being, it can be implemented immediately by a method of adhering to various numeric keypads that are in large quantities and adhering to the size. In the future, it will be incorporated into the numeric keypad when producing calculators and personal computers.

[0010]

[Effect of the invention]

 The present invention is simple and inexpensive, and can be attached / detached to / from a numeric keypad already commercially available structurally, and the effects described below can be expected immediately.

First, if the present invention is implemented, the accuracy will be dramatically improved, and it will promote the computerization of Japan as a whole, in the industries that frequently use calculators and PCs, that is, in general households such as banks, companies, and government agencies. .

In addition, if speed and accuracy are on track, input switching will be possible in the future, and word processor input by ten keys will be possible. For example, if you have software that can switch the input method and convert from eleven numbers in order to AIUEO, you can enter with only the numeric keypad. One-handed word processing and numeric keypad input allows the gospel to be delivered especially to people with disabilities. The computer doesn't need a big keyboard either, just a numeric keypad plus alpha.

[Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. 1 is a side view of the present invention. The distance between 1 and 4 is 50m
m-70 mm. The distance between 2 and 3 is 15 mm to 30 mm. The height is 1 mm to 15 mm higher than the numeric keypad surface. One, four
Extending to the left and right are stoppers for the upper and lower forefinger and ring finger.

FIG. 2 is a drawing viewed from directly above.

FIG. 3 is a view seen from directly above, and a hatched portion 5 is a view when the present invention is attached to a numeric keypad.
