Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention has an input device and a display device, and the display unit of the display device displays the function contents of a function selection key provided in the input device. The present invention relates to an electronic device provided with a function display unit for displaying.

[Prior Art] An electronic device having a conventional input device and a display device, and a function display unit for displaying the function content of a function selection key of the input device is provided in a part of the display device is a third device. It was as shown in the figure. That is, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the relationship between a part of the display device and a part of the input device, where 1 is an electronic device main body, 2 is an input device, and 3a, 3b, 3c are parts of the input device 2. Function selection keys 4a, 4b, 4c are key recognition symbols printed on the top surface or side surface of the function selection keys 3a, 3b, 3c, 5 is a display device, 6 is a display unit of the display device 5,
7a, 7b, and 7c are function display portions provided on a part of the display portion 6, 8
a, 8b, 8c are the function contents displayed on the function display parts 7a, 7b, 7c, 9a, 9b, 9c are the function contents 8a on the function display parts 7a, 7b, 7c,
The function content recognition symbols displayed together with 8b and 8c are the same as the key recognition symbols 4a, 4b, and 4c. That is, when the worker wants to execute, for example, the function content 8a displayed as "copy" from among the plurality of function content displayed on the function display section, the operator displays the function content 8a together with the function content 8a on the function display section 7a. There is a function content recognition symbol called "F1"
For the first time, scan 9a, search for the function selection key on which the key recognition symbol "F1" is printed, and press the key.
You can finish two tasks.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As described above, in the conventional technology, the operator searches for the function content to be executed, reads the function content recognition symbol displayed together with the function content, and further, the function content recognition symbol. It was possible to execute a single function for the first time by searching for a function selection key on which a key recognition symbol having the same symbol as the above is printed and typing the key. These series of operations significantly reduce the work efficiency.

In addition, since the function display section needs a space for displaying the function content recognition symbol and the function content in association with each other, the display section cannot be effectively used.

Further, there is a problem in that a step for printing a key recognition symbol on the function selection key is required, and a high cost product cannot help being provided.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention relates to an electronic device in which a display device is integrally engaged with a main body including an input device, the input device includes a plurality of function selection keys, and the display device includes: A function display unit for displaying only the function contents of the function selection key in the order in which the keys are arranged is provided in a part of the display unit close to the function selection key, and the display is provided from the case surface of the function selection key of the input device. It is characterized in that the same form guidance index corresponding to the number of the function selection keys is provided on the case surface near the function display portion of the device so as to associate each function selection key with each function content to be displayed.

[Operation] According to the guidance index, it becomes possible to easily find the function selection key for executing the function to be realized, and search for the function content to be executed as in the past, and it is displayed together with the function content. It is possible to improve the work efficiency, which is low in efficiency, such as reading the function content recognition symbol and searching for the function selection key on which the same symbol is printed, thereby improving the work efficiency.

Further, since only the function content needs to be displayed on the function display unit, the display space can be reduced and the display unit can be effectively used.

Further, the process for printing the key recognition symbol on the function selection key is not required, and as a result, the cost of the product can be reduced.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an entire electronic device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an essential part of the electronic device according to the present invention. 10 is an electronic device main body and 11 is an input device. , 12a, 12b, 12
c, 12d, 12e are function selection keys that are part of the input device 11, 1
3 is a display device, 14 is a display unit provided on the display device 13, and 15 is a display unit.
a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e are function display parts provided in a part of the display part 14, 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, 16e are function display parts 15
Function contents displayed on a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e, 17a, 17
b, 17c, 17d, 17e, 17f are function selection keys 12a, 12b, 12c,
The guide indicators are provided between the 12d and 12e and the function display portions 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, and 15e to indicate that they correspond to each other, and are integrally processed in the case. .

That is, the operator selects the function content 16 such as "copy" from among the plurality of function content displayed on the function display unit.
When performing a, the function selection key 12a can be easily recognized and keyed using the guide indicators 17a and 17b provided at both ends of the function display portion 15a displaying the function content 16a as guidance. Therefore, work efficiency can be improved.

Further, unlike the prior art, since the space for displaying the function content recognition symbol on the function display unit is not required, the display unit can be effectively utilized, and the process and cost for printing the key recognition symbol on the function selection key Since it does not require, it is possible to provide low cost products.

Although the number of the function selection keys and the number of the function content display portions is five in each of the embodiments, the number is not limited to that.

Further, the guide index is not limited to the present embodiment as long as the function selection key and the corresponding function display section are associated with each other.

[Advantage of Device] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the operation of reading the function content recognition symbol and searching for the function selection key on which the same symbol is printed.
It is possible to provide an ergonomically excellent electronic device that can reduce the fatigue of the operator.

Further, since only the function content needs to be displayed on the function display section, the display section can be effectively used.

Further, the step of printing the key recognition symbol on the function selection key is not required, and as a result, a low-priced product can be provided.
