If the pressed key is the offset switching key (2), the second value (of3) of the offset table 30 is set, and if the pressed key is the offset switching key (3), the third value of the offset table 30 is set. The fourth value (of1) of the offset table 30 is set if the fourth value (of2) is set and the pressed key is the offset switching key (4).

In step 102, if the key is not the offset switching key 51, an offset set in the offset value area 22 of the state management table 20 is added to the key code to create a logical key code (110). The mode area 21 of the state management table 20 is checked to determine whether the mode is the mode 2 (120). If the mode is not the mode 2, the logical key code is delivered to the key delivery program unit 13 (12).
1) If the mode is 2, the logical key code is delivered to the console program unit 12 (122), and the process is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 8, the process flow of the mode transition program first checks the mode area 21 of the state management table 20 (200), and determines that the current mode is mode 1
If so, the mode area 21 is changed to mode 2 (21
0), offset table 3 in offset value area 22
The first value (of4) of 0 is set (211), and the process ends. If the current mode is mode 2, the mode area 21 is changed to mode 3 (220), and the process ends. If the current mode is mode 3, the process ends without performing mode transition.

The process flow of the mode reset program starts when the DIP / SW of the dedicated keyboard 7 is turned off, and changes the mode area 21 of the state management table 20 to mode 1 as shown in FIG. ), The offset value area 22 is initialized to 0 (301), and the process ends.
