Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a kanji input device, and more particularly to a kanji input device configured by a combination of a kanji keyboard device and a kanji selection device, which allows kanji input through simple operations.

Conventionally, there has been a kanji input device of this type as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a conventional kanji input device. In FIG. 1, a kanji keyboard device 1 is composed of a plurality of kanji tablets 2 and a keyboard 3 on which kana characters are displayed, and each kanji doublet 2 is divided into a plurality of square frames 4. In this square frame 4, several kanji with the same sound are displayed.

Next, the operation shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. First, search for the keyboard 3 on which a kana character corresponding to the kana reading (first kana character) of the kanji you want to select is displayed. Applicable keyboard 3
By pressing , the kanji tablet 2 containing the kanji you want to select is automatically selected and a page break is made.
It is sent onto the Kanji keyboard device II. The operator searches for a desired kanji from among a series of kanji groups displayed on the kanji tuplet 2. Once the corresponding kanji is found in the square frame 4 displayed on the kanji tablet 2, the corresponding kanji can be selected by pressing the location. Thus, by repeating the above operations, it is possible to input the required kanji one after another.

Conventional kanji input devices are configured as described above, so by finding the corresponding location on the keyboard where the kana character of the kanji you want to select is displayed and suppressing it, you can find the location where the kanji you want to select is stored. The kanji tablet must be automatically selected, the corresponding kanji must be found in the square frame displayed on the kanji tablet, and the corresponding kanji must be pressed down. Furthermore, the kanji tablet is made of thick material. In this case, there were drawbacks such as the need to apply a considerable amount of force when pressing the button, requiring troublesome effort to input kanji.

The present invention was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above, and is composed of a combination of a kanji keyboard device and a kanji selection device, and by operating only the kanji selection device, the state can be changed as described above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a kanji input device which has a configuration in which kanji characters are displayed on a kanji keyboard device and inputted, and which can reduce the effort required for inputting kanji characters as much as possible. An example of this will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a kanji input device which is an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the kanji input device of the present invention is constituted by a combination of a kanji keyboard device 5 and a kanji selection device 6.

The kanji keyboard device 5 has a plurality of squares 5a divided into squares.
A kanji is printed in each square 5a, and in order to clearly indicate which kanji is selected by the kanji selection device 6, a kanji is printed in each square 5a. A selection display lamp 7 is added. Further, in order to clearly display the selection of kanji characters, a horizontal position display lamp 8 and a vertical position display lamp 9 are provided around the kanji keyboard device 5, respectively. Kanji selection device 6
There is a stick (handle) 10 that can be rotated freely.
, a button 11 provided at the top of this stick 10,
A plurality of button switches 12 are each provided.

Next, the operation shown in FIG. 2 will be explained. First, when selecting the kanji you want to select, select the kanji you want to select displayed in the kanji selection 5a.
Since each of the kanji can be turned on, the selected kanji can be displayed brightly. To instruct the computer to input the selected kanji to complete the kanji selection, press stick 1.
This is done by actuating the button 11 provided on the top of the 0. Furthermore, by operating the plurality of button switches 12 provided in the kanji selection device 6, the kanji printing area on the kanji keyboard device 5 can be positioned in units of sections.

The kanji keyboard device 5 shown in FIG. 2 above is as follows:
It is assumed that it will be composed of kanji tablets,
In addition, the present invention can be applied to a device that displays kanji on a CRT device (display device) and uses a cursor (crosshair) in place of each of the display lamps 7 to 9. According to the kanji input device,
It is composed of a combination of a kanji keyboard device and a kanji selection device, and is configured so that its status can be clearly displayed at the top of the kanji keyboard device simply by operating the kanji selection device, making kanji input extremely easy. This has an excellent effect in that it can be carried out reliably and with high efficiency through simple operations.
