Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) In the operation of the JIS keyboard used in the RI, Combi, Yuya, and Ward Gummy Sera, most of the keys on the 1000-board are placed on the keyboard surface based on the home position system. The present invention relates to a keyboard operation learning device that enables users to distinguish between items without directly looking at the keyboard, that is, to perform blind play.

(Conventional technology) The conventional method for learning blind touch is as follows:
It is aimed at typewriters and is called the anchor key method, which is used in English type vocational schools. On the other hand, no established blind touch learning method has been found for Combiator or Wordbrosepsa keyboards.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In recent years, the Perrnall Combiator and Word Processor? With the spread of 'F, the frequency of keyboard use is increasing. In line with this situation, two things are required: to be able to master the blind touch of a keyboard in a short period of time, and to be able to operate the keyboard at a speed that does not interfere with work or daily life. .

Traditionally, the one-anchor method used in type schools to learn the blind touch under the keyboard was common.

Anchor one-way is defined as follows.

Place the name fingers of both hands on the left thumb - the [space key] on the keyboard, the index finger on the left hand - the CF key on the keyboard, the middle finger of the left hand - the (D) key on the keyboard, the ring finger of the left hand - the (8) key on the keyboard, the left hand Pinky - Thousand - (A) key on the board,
Right thumb - Space key on the keyboard, Right index finger - (J) key on the keyboard, Right middle finger - (K) key on the keyboard, Right ring finger - (f,)s on the keyboard
? -1 Right pinky finger - Wear it like the [;] key on a keyboard, and use it as the famous home finger.

When hitting a key other than the home position, use the home position as the fulcrum position and hit the desired middle position. For example, when hitting the [■] child key, place the index finger on the (J) key, which serves as a fulcrum, and spread your fingers apart, and extend your little finger to the position of the [\] child key.

Further, for each key, it is determined which key is to be pressed as a fulcrum key.

These methods include the following interludes.

In other words, it is stable no matter what key you hit, even when you hit a key far away from the home position.
It is psychologically less stressful, but on the other hand, the combination of which fulcrum key is fixed when pressing which key,
The point is that there are many restrictions.

Second, since the finger that serves as the fulcrum must always rest on the fulcrum key, people with small hands are at a disadvantage when pressing keys that are located far from the home position.

Unlike the keys on a manual typewriter, the keys on the board allow characters to be entered with a light touch.
There is a risk that the characters of the fulcrum key may be entered incorrectly.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard operation learning device that allows blind touching of a keyboard, which has been difficult to achieve with the conventional one-key keyboard method.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The keyboard operation method learning device of the present invention is a keyboard operation method learning device comprising a keyboard operation method learning material that embodies a hand slide method and a learning material execution device. It has been realized. Keyboard operation learning materials a%
Educational elements for learning how to press keys and the types of character symbols to enter.

It consists of educational material elements for learning Japanese input by .

(Function) The keyboard operation method learning device of the present invention is characterized by the following five points.

(1) The home location is the same as the one-way anchor system.
position, but without fixing your hands, move your entire hand parallel to the keyboard surface and hit the keys while understanding the position of each key in terms of the distance and direction of its movement.

(2) It is possible to type more keys on a keyboard than on a typewriter.

(3) When hitting a key located away from the home position, you can do so without making your hand look unnatural.

(4) In order to keep the distance and direction of movement from the home key to the desired key in the correct direction, always keep the center of your body at CB.
) key and instruct the action so that the central axis does not slip. Furthermore, when a key other than the home position key is pressed, the user is instructed to quickly return the finger to the home position after each key press.

(5) Step-by-step and integrated educational elements are provided, from basic keyboard operations to advanced operations.

These teaching material elements can be executed sequentially using a learning material execution device.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, the keyboard operation learning device rt,
It consists of a learning material execution device, a keyboard operation learning material executed under the learning material execution device, and auxiliary text used during learning according to instructions from the learning screen.

Referring to Figure 2, teaching material elements 11rt in the keyboard operation learning materials, how to press keys, characters to be input, etc.
This is a teaching material element that provides all the symbols, and corresponds to the introduction of this learning material. 12ri teaching material elements to learn basic postures
Before actually touching the keyboard, students are taught how to maintain the optimal posture and posture so that they do not get tired and can use the handslide method easily.

In the no-tslide method, the key points are the distance and direction of movement from the position of the hand from the home position, so the arm used to move the hand, as well as the shoulder and upper body that serve as the fulcrum of that arm, must be stable at all times. For this reason, this teaching material places particular emphasis on how to create the correct posture.

A teaching material for learning how to use alphabetic keys: i-13rj.

The main action is actually stealing the key. Teaching procedure 10 in the teaching material element to learn how to type alphabetic keys of teaching material element 13
0 is how to move the left and right four fingers and thumb 101, the correspondence between canning and the home key 102, the correspondence between canning and keys other than the home key 103. and 10 basic exercises for retention
4, and the structure is such that the nont slide will take hold naturally. Teaching material element 1 for learning how to type number keys
4. The educational material element 15 for learning how to type symbol keys and the educational material element 16 for learning how to type Japanese alphabet keys are also realized by the educational material element 13 for learning how to type alphabetic keys and the procedure 100 described above by Mr. N. There is. That is, 1 step 200.300
% and 400ri, indicating that the procedure is similar to procedure 100. Hand $100,200,30
As can be seen from the fact that the configurations of 0% and 400 are common, the teaching material elements ri are configured in a unified procedure regardless of the type of key 8.

Referring to FIG. 3, the keyboard operation learning material consists of about 700 learning screens and their flow. In addition,
Each screen is provided with a practice area of 60 characters x 8 lines at the bottom of each screen so that learners can practice as much as they like. ri on the screen, an execution status message 31 from the learning material execution device, an instruction element 32 of the learning material, and a practice area 3 for the learner to actually type input on the keyboard.

Referring to FIGS. 4A and 4B, a comparison can be made between the hand slide method and the anchor key method. Referring to FIG. 4A, using the hand slide method, the right index finger leaves the (J) key, moves the entire hand, and presses the [\] child key with the right little finger. Referring to FIG. 4B, in the one-sided anchor key system, the (J) key is used as the fulcrum key, and the right index finger is placed on the (J) key while the little finger of the right hand is used to press the key [, ¥] 1,000. Although the left hand is not used directly, it is a common agreement to leave it resting on the home body as a general rule for blind tarichi. The one-sided anchor key type is particularly burdensome for people with small hands, as the hand that presses the rt% key becomes unnatural when you press a key away from the home position. Since it uses a hand slide method, the shape of the hand remains natural, so it won't be too burdensome for people with small hands.

Referring to FIG. 5, the division of keystrokes by both hands on the keys to be blind touched is summarized. According to 51 in the figure, the number r of keys assigned to the little finger of the left hand
t5 keys, the number of keys shared by the left hand ring finger and the left hand middle finger is 4 each, the number of keys shared by the left hand index finger and right hand index finger is 8 each, and the number of keys shared by the right hand middle finger and right hand ring finger is 4 each. , the number of keys assigned to the right little finger r
Number 52 in Figure 0, which has 15 keys, shows the keys that are assigned to the little finger of the right hand. regardless of.

(BS) key, [Return] key, etc., which are frequently used, so a hand-slide method that allows you to move your hands freely is more suitable than a one-way anchor method, which has many restrictions. It is. In addition, the numeric keypad,
Anchor keys for editing keys, funk keys, etc.
Regardless of the hand slide method, it is not subject to blind touch.

Referring to FIG. 6, it shows how to move the fingers when hitting keys using the hand slide method. Only the right hand is shown from the side so that the movement of the fingers can be clearly seen.
61d. Place all the fingers of your right hand on the home seal;
It is in the state of holding the key before hitting the key, %62ri, and when trying to type the (J) key with the index finger of the right hand, not only the finger but the whole body is floating above the keyboard by 1.5α ~ 2cIL, 63ri This is a state where the (J) key is being pressed with the index finger of the right hand, and this is the state immediately after hitting 64rj. During this series of operations, press rt in the instruction area on one screen.
