Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To reduce key input mistakes and improve input work efficiency. [Structure] A signal 10 output from a normal operation key of the key unit 1.
1 is input to the output unit 2 and the storage unit 4. The output unit 2 passes this signal 101 and outputs it to the conversion unit 3. The conversion unit 3 converts the signal 101 into a serial data signal 105 and outputs the serial data signal 105 to the personal computer or the like through the cable 10. The storage unit 4 starts storing the signal 101 when the signal 102 output from the storage start key of the key unit 1 is input, and stops the storage operation when the signal 102 is input again. Then, the signal 10 output from the memory output key of the key unit 1
When 3 is input, the stored signal is output to the output unit.
The output unit 2 outputs the signal from the key unit 1 or the storage unit 4, whichever is input first.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a keyboard, and particularly to a keyboard used for a personal computer or the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, this kind of keyboard is composed of a plurality of normal operation keys and a conversion unit for converting an output signal of the operation keys into a serial data signal and outputting the serial data signal to the outside. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a conventional example. The key unit 8 has a plurality of normal operation keys, and the signal 101 output by pressing each key is converted into a serial data signal 105 by the conversion unit 9 and output to the personal computer or the like through the cable 10.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional example, the function of simply outputting the signal of the corresponding key by pressing the normal operation key is one. Therefore, even when the same key operation is repeated, the operator repeats the same operation. As a result, there are problems such as typographical errors and reduced input work efficiency.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The keyboard of the present invention comprises a key portion in which a storage start key and a storage output key are added to a plurality of normal operation keys, and the output signals of the normal operation keys are sequentially stored and stored in the output order by the output signal of the storage start key. The storage unit that sequentially outputs the stored signals in the order stored by the output signal of the storage output key, and the output signal of the normal operation key and the output signal of the storage unit are input, and the signal of the first input side is selected and output. And an output unit for converting the output signal of the output unit into a serial data signal and outputting the serial data signal to an external computer.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a partial front view showing the positions of the storage unit keys of this embodiment. The signal 101 output from the normal operation key of the key unit 1 is input to the output unit 2 and the storage unit 4. The output unit 2 passes this signal 101 and outputs it to the conversion unit 3. The conversion unit 3 converts the signal 101 into a serial data signal 105 and outputs the serial data signal 105 to a personal computer or the like through the cable 10.

The storage unit 4 starts storing the signal 101 when the signal 102 output from the storage start key of the key unit 1 is input, and stops the storage operation when the signal 102 is input again. When the signal 103 output from the memory output key of the key unit 1 is input, the stored signal 101 is output to the output unit. The memory unit 4 faithfully stores the signals 101 in the order of input signals and up to the time between signals, and outputs them in the same manner. However, in the case where immediate output is required, switching and fast forwarding can be performed by key operation. The output unit 2 passes the output signal from the storage unit 4 and outputs it to the conversion unit 3. When the signals from the key unit 1 and the storage unit 4 are input at the same time, the output unit 2 outputs the signal on the first input side.

When the operator repeatedly inputs a key, the operator first presses the memory start key and then the normal operation key to input, and when the input is completed, presses the memory start key again. If you want to repeat this input, press the memory output key at any time to automatically repeat the input.

[0008]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention has a function of storing and outputting an input signal at the time of repetitive input, so that the operator does not need to repeatedly input. Therefore, there are effects such as reduction of key input mistakes and improvement of input work efficiency.
