JPH10207596A - Parashower 99 - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease keys, to lower the cost, and to enable adaptation to the future by arranging numeric keys which are associated in parallel on a keyboard surface in two planes, and inputting HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary), KATAKANA(square form of Japanese syllabary), Roman letters, and symbols by converting them into combinations of numbers. SOLUTION: On the keyboard, the numeric keys 1 to 9 are provided in two planes in the same array. The identical-value keys in both the right and left planes are connected in parallel to each other and placed in the same operation. Conversion into numerals 11 to 99 except zero is performed for input. At this time, double clicks of 6 to 9 and combinations of 66, 77, 88, and 99 are used as an extended counter function. This parashower 99 does not use a zero key except when ten-key input is performed since there is a problem at the time of use KANJI(Chinese character) numbers. Then an IC card is mounted on the keyboard in near future to enable adaptation to all machines and software by inserting and extracting a simple program card.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As the performance of a conventional keyboard is improved, the number of keys is increased and the operation is complicated.
Now that it is a consumer electronics product, it is economically going against the times that it has been introduced to the market for various types of keyboards depending on the model and software. At present, there are still improvements in computers and keyboards that everyone should be able to handle easily.

[0003]

First, key inputs are digitized as much as possible to reduce the number of keys. By realizing an input method compatible with all models and software, the cost can be reduced, and at the same time, it can be easily handled by amateurs, improving the accuracy rate and speeding up.

First, the keys of Hiragana and A to Z are removed from the keyboard, and the numerical keys of fill 1 to 9 shown in FIG. 1 are arranged on the left and right sides, and the keys of the same numerical value are electrically operated completely in parallel. . Numerical input in this state can be performed on one side or separately from both sides. Considering the right side of a right-handed person, the range of movement of the index finger, 741,
The middle finger 852, which has no problem with the movement of the finger, does not feel tired all day. However, the 963 ring finger moves slowly, leading to fatigue and mistakes. Use your left forefinger, 9
63 is input. Therefore, fatigue and mistakes are reduced. As a result, even a layman can achieve input that is unprecedented in speed, fatigue, and mistakes.

The ten key input mode is as shown in FIG.
Up to 9 can be used, and numerical values and data can be entered. Of course, you can input with both hands and speed up.

[0006] Other than ten-key input, hiragana, katakana,
Roman characters and symbols are entered in a combination of numbers from 11 to 99 excluding zero.

FIG. 3 shows the key surfaces when the input is switched to the hiragana input mode.
Uh, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, respectively
Is input like a shower from top to bottom. The line is also 81,
Input 82, 83, 84, 85. Enter the same for the row, row, row, row, row, row, row, and row. I'm 16, I'm 1
7 is input. FIG. 4 and Table 2 show the katakana input method, and numerical conversion is input like a shower like hiragana. FIG.
Table 3 shows the Roman alphabet input method, where A, B, and C are 71, 7
At 2, 73, D, E, F, 81, 82, 83, etc. are also input like a shower. Symbols and marks that are frequently used are considered as shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3, for example, and the same numerical values are input directly in the hiragana, katakana, and romaji modes. A key is provided on the keyboard to enable input of ', ゜', and upper and lower case characters are input by switching between large and small.

As a method of remembering the key arrangement, as shown in FIG. 6, 963 is vertically arranged. 8
52, or, na, ya (Kanaya). 741,
Rewrite (Sahara) with kanji and learn visually. If you have completed compulsory education, you can look at it in kanji, head, Kanaya, Sahara, and whisper. If you touch the key, you can enter the key position within one week and input at a threatening speed.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which keys currently used in each model are arranged. When the keys are combined with a touch pointer, a trackball, a mouse, and the like, all of the keys can be input with the key number and the size as large as this.

In the hiragana, katakana, and romaji modes,
66, 77, 88 and 99 are used as a window to a new mode. There are 81 new modes, two-digit numbers excluding zero and 11-99. For example, in the 66 mode, JIS symbols, special symbols, pages of a kanji list, etc. can be extracted, and 99 is a future extension window. The 77 mode has function key functions, shift and tab keys, and functions such as printing. Again, 99 is an extension window. The 88 mode is a window for entering an employee list, a customer list, a zip code, etc., and 99 is an extended window for the future. 9
9 mode is a gateway to intranet, communication, other software and files, 99 can also be extended to the future window, branching the window by two digits from one to the next, and expanding to infinity Is possible.

The para-shower 99 does not use the zero key except when inputting numeric keys, because a problem occurs when using Chinese numerals. There are only 1 to 9 systems.

[0012]

[Means to Solve the Problem] The key to solving the problem is how to reduce the cost and popularize how to catch the wave of the rushing computer.
In the current method, which is too cumbersome, even though most people have a convenient computer, it is difficult to use the keyboard before learning the contents. The idea of establishing an easy-to-use input method, unifying standards, increasing computer utilization, and raising national interests is the fastest way to resolve issues.

[0013]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS For the time being, it will be commercialized with the layout shown in FIG. 7, which will be compatible with a variety of keyboards available in large quantities. In the near future, an IC card will be mounted on the keyboard and all models will be installed by simply inserting and removing a program card. , Adapt to soft.

[0014]

The present invention is structurally simple and inexpensive,
Excellent cost performance. In addition, rarely simple operations are definitely welcomed by women and middle-aged and elderly computer rejected people.

[0015] A keyboard using a normal JIS standard has about one hundred keys, and if this method is adopted, only about sixty keys are required and the area is about 60%. There are around 90 keys in word processors and laptops.
By adopting 9, the size can be considerably reduced. This method is very scalable and can be used with any language input method in the world. In addition, left-handed people can use the left side with emphasis, so they are not affected by the dominant hand, can cover the disadvantages of the conventional model, and are fully versatile for those who are injured and who can use only one hand.
