Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the motion of fingers for vowels which are keyed frequently as much as possible when Japanese is inputted, by gathering the vowels at one place and consonants on the right. CONSTITUTION:Vowels A, I, U, and E are arranged from the left at a left-hand home position 1 in an array of keyboard type keys. Then, consonants K, S and T are arranged from the left in order at a right-hand home position 2. Further, the keys of the upper G series of the K series, the upper Z series of the S series, and the upper D series of the T series are arranged from the left in order at a right-hand position 4. then, M and R are on the right-hand position of a position 5, and Y is the left-hand position; M, Y, and R are arranged counterclockwise from the right. Furthermore, O and a constant W are arranged at the lefthand position. Thus, the vowels are gathered at one place and the consonants are gathered at the right side to reduce the motion of fingers for the vowels as much as possible, reducing the fatigue of Japanese input.

。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Solving the problem of Japanese input in current word processors and computers has become an urgent issue. The main method of inputting Japanese into word processors and computers is to convert kana to kanji, but the large number of kana characters makes it difficult to memorize, requires large finger movements, and is easily tiring, making it slow. Romanization and Kanji conversion is still the final method. Therefore, we created a key arrangement for Roman letters that is easy to type and easy to remember.

うになり疲れにくい。Typing Romaji on a conventional English type keyboard is
Because the finger picks up vowels almost every other letter, the movement of the fingers becomes irregular, and the fingers move widely, making it difficult to achieve speed. Therefore, by concentrating the vowels in one place on the left and consonants on the right, 1- Minimize finger movement for vowels that must be struck in large numbers. By assigning vowels and consonants to each, it becomes possible to strike them alternately. Since the left hand can be placed in the home position of the four vowels, the rhythm is constant and there is no effort and speed is achieved, making it less tiring.

又タイピングのためにはキーボードの配列方式は、英文
日本語文で二つの方式を使い分ける事には無理がある。Also, for typing, it is impossible to use two different keyboard layout methods for English and Japanese text.

可能である。You have to type both English and Japanese sentences with one key arrangement. ``This method is for Roman letters, but it is also possible to input English text, which is necessary for computers and word processors, without any problems.
