JPS62214421A - Doborac type keyboard input method - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the operation easy by assigning semivowels, etc., of Japanese syllabary to alphabetic characters which are not used in romaji (a method of writing Japanese in Roman characters). CONSTITUTION:Keys of 9 characters 'Y', 'F', 'C', 'L', 'Q', 'J', 'X', 'W', and 'V' which are not used for input of romaji on a doborac type keyboard are used effectively. Gathering of vowels in the left is used to use keys of 'Y', 'Q', 'J', 'W', 'V', and 'L' for input of 'ya', 'yu', 'yo', 'wa', 'o', and 'n' respectively. Keys of 'X' and 'F' are used for input of double consonant 'tsu' and a symbol repeating the preceding character respectively. Semivowels and double vowels of Japanese syllabary are assigned to keys of said 9 characters to reduce the number of times of touch for input of contracted sounds, double constants, syllabic nasals, 'wa', and 'o', and thus, the operation is made easy.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field: Combinator input method.

Conventional technology #1 or toga finger shift of JIS and new JIS draft,
Many Japanese input methods have been tried, such as Touch 16 and Kurade style, but none have been perfect, and official Romaji input cannot match Japanese characteristics such as consonants, and QWE has a clutter of vowels and consonants.
The RT Y sequence was celebrated as a turtle problem in Europe and America. Topolac type keyboards (hereinafter simply referred to as D<11) are used in Europe and the United States to improve input, but as they are, they cannot function satisfactorily to meet the Japanese DFI characteristics.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The purpose of this application is to use the D board for English input.In order to respect this and to facilitate the Japanese language skills, YFCL Q J XWV is not used in the Roman alphabet.
To measure effectiveness and ease of memorization and operation.

Means to solve the problem For this reason, take advantage of the fact that the vowels on the D board are concentrated on the left side, and concentrate on the left side with pronunciations similar to Y for ya, Q for yu, and J for yo (P is an exception). To cope with the fact that sounds other than vowels are combinations of consonants, vowels, and semi-vowels, including persistent consonants, and to facilitate sharing when combining with both hands. In addition, for diphthongs and consonants, you can substitute K for high custom by changing W to wa, V to wo, L to n, etc., making it the same as the other consonants on the right side, and for consonants, use X near the semivowel position. Good to use. If you use the remaining F for ``,'' you will solve all the Japanese sentences.

In addition, punctuation midpoints and `` can be used as a period in English, and 〃 can be used as a common key in Japanese and English.'' If you automatically half-turn in the second sentence in the program, you can just use ``.

You can omit ``,'' and you don't need to use the extra ``#'' in Japanese sentences.Jfk Y〒
It is convenient to use it for Te1 etc. [On the right], if you select the remaining screen or change the code and use one of the shifts to switch between Japanese and English, and the other to switch between English and uppercase and lowercase letters or plain katakana, you can treat the entire shift as two stages.

Next, as for how to use it, the 50 syllables always end with a vowel or a semi-vowel, so simple KC) ST... etc. cannot be made into kana. Therefore, it is possible to end the succinct sound with two touches, making it easier than conventional romaji and kana syllabary processing. Furthermore, if you change the code, you can perform two combinations (with one hand or both hands) and simultaneously touch (in practical terms, release at the same time) to speed up the function. Yayuyo, which is not a pronunciation, is used alone like a vowel,
There is no problem with Tu, which is not a consonant.

If you only use a space for function conversion and force, you can automate it without using any special conversion keys, and since there are few spaces in the Japanese text, you can use it to select the next candidate from the second time onwards. The rare original space is continuous 1
If you hold it down for more than a second, it will generate one character, and next time you can create a regular space for any number of characters.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is an example of key arrangement of the present invention.

This can be done by simply pasting a sticker on a part of the official key top, but if you can take advantage of the convenience of the details mentioned above, you can use common abbreviations such as S Showa, T Taisho, M Meiji, etc.
It can be applied to mobile input panels (X6% SXS, etc.) and multi-function telephones. Actually, it is easy to use if you have 30 keys or more, and this extremely small-key keyboard has different functions such as numbers and symbols. At this time, since there were few descriptions of the key tops, it was easy to write them together and it was easy to understand in advance. You can move some of it to the side of the keys or the surface of the board.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention facilitates array memory, operation floating, sea bream, cylindrical sea bream, etc. In addition, since the number of touches can be reduced, it is easy to operate with one or both hands, and can be used for blind hitting.

For this reason, from 5YIX, the left side and the remaining half are color-coded, and the engineering and L
It would be even more convenient to change the texture of the (n) key top. Also, although it is easy to have a negative reaction to the new type operation, the spread of the D board in Europe and the United States has helped, and it is now easy to switch between Japanese and English types using the same operation.

In addition, the D disc can be used with almost no modification, and there are only a few changes to the code and software, so there are no particular difficulties, making it cheap to manufacture, easy to spread, and easy to export, including to developing countries.

Therefore, we have found a way out of Japanese input, which has been a bottleneck, and can take advantage of the characteristics of ideograms, which are quick to read and understand, and solve the problem of modern Japanese input, where there is a growing tendency for Japanese and English characters to coexist. Not only will it greatly contribute to the mass use and spread of AI and CAI, but it can also be used as shorthand.

Claims (1)

[Claims] YF, which is not used in the Roman alphabet on a Dvorak keyboard.
・Allocate Japanese semi-vowels, accentuated sounds, diphthongs, etc. to the 9 keys, minimize key top changes and shifts for both Japanese and English, reduce the number of touches such as accentuated sounds and wow, and make the main Japanese keys one step. A Dvorak-style keyboard input method that is characterized by inputting upper and lower case English letters and both Japanese kana in only two rows each.
