Abstract

PURPOSE:To do character input efficiently by equipping it with a group of keys for character input and a group of keys for mode selection, and further equipping each key in the key group for character input with a liquid crystal display part for displaying input characters by modes. CONSTITUTION:By the pressing of a group of mode selective keys, a group of characters by modes are displayed in a group of keys 2 provided with liquid crystal displays. At this time, by the function of key interface program procedure built in or input from outside, the display in optional arrangement becomes possible. This way, it is possible to display only the character group in that mode on the top of a key board by the instruction of selective pressing of the mode select key 1, and also it is possible to change the character arrangement, too, freely into the key interface programs, and only the character group required in each mode can be displayed in user's favorate arrangement (in order of Japanese syllabary, in alphabetical order, JIS arrangement, new JIS arrangement), so the character input can be done by both a beginner and an expert.
