Abstract

PURPOSE:To make unnecessary the burden of re-inputting in case of mis-setting of mode by providing a keyboard with both the first means of storing key input data and the second means converting data stored by the first means and re-outputting the converted data to a host device. CONSTITUTION:Decision section 102 decides that data key input from a key input section 101 is character data, a request for mode change, or a request for re-outputting. If the key input data is character data, this data is output to a host device 105 and at the same time sent to a memory section 103 and is stored therein. If the key input data is a request for mode change, a mode converter 104 is informed of the request and the mode converter 4 stores the mode that existed before conversion and the mode to be converted. Further, if the key input data is a request for re-outputting, data in store in the memory section 3 is converted by the mode converter 4 and output to the host device 105. With this, even in case mode setting is key input by mistake, re-inputting a correct mode is unnecessary.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明はデータ入力装置に関し、特にキーボードに関す
る。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to data input devices, and more particularly to keyboards.

〔従来の技術〕[Conventional technology]

従来のキーボードでは、一つのキーにいくつかのコード
を割り当てており、入力前にモードを設定しておく必要
がある。In conventional keyboards, several codes are assigned to one key, and the mode must be set before inputting.

〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕[Problem to be solved by the invention]

力し直さなければならないという問題がある。The conventional keyboard described above assigns several codes to one key, and it is necessary to specify which type of code it is by mode before inputting it, so it is difficult to specify by switching modes etc. If you make a mistake, you will have to re-enter the information again.

〔課題を解決するための手段〕[Means to solve the problem]

本発明のキーボードは、キー入力データを記憶する第１
の手段と、前記第１の手段に記憶されたデータを変換し
上位装置に再出力する第２の手段とを備える。The keyboard of the present invention has a first keyboard that stores key input data.
and second means for converting the data stored in the first means and re-outputting it to the host device.

。Referring to FIG. 1, which shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, the key input unit 101 is operated in a specified mode (alphabet, kana,
A code (numerical data) of the pressed key is generated based on hiragana, etc.) and output to the determination unit 102. Judgment unit 10
2 determines character data, mode change, or re-output request based on data from the key input unit 101. If the key input data is character data, this data is output to the host device 105 and at the same time
03 and stored. If the key input data is a mode change designation, that information is transmitted to the converter 104. Converter 104 stores the mode before conversion and the mode to be converted. Further, when the key input data is a re-output request, the data stored in the storage unit 103 is converted by the converter 104 and output to the host device W105.
