Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer keyboard. In the existing standardized keyboard, a typo was frequently generated because a shift key must be pressed to input double consonants and some double consonants.
The present invention provides a keyboard capable of inputting letters with one touch without typos by dividing keys arranged with consonants, double consonants, special characters, etc. without touching the standard keyboard layout.

Description

Divided keyboard for easy consonant input {The Key Board}

The present invention relates to a computer keyboard which is a basic computer input device.

The present invention improves the efficiency by improving the computer keyboard and the input method and structure so that the input method can be improved even if the character arrangement is not touched in the keyboard configuration.

Keyboards are essential wherever you use your computer. Already, however, the arrangement of letters has been standardized and there is an exclusivity that is difficult to accept, no matter how good the technology is for the customer.

So far, an improved method of arranging letters has been proposed, but the standard keyboard established before the computer age remains unique because it was unable to enter the market.

The conventional keyboard has a disadvantage in that a typo is generated because a shift key must be pressed in order to input a Korean consonant and some vowels. It is not an exaggeration to say that most of the typos occur in this process because the shift key cannot be pressed properly when pressing the shift key.

An object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard capable of inputting letters with one touch without typos by dividing keys arranged with consonants, double consonants, special characters, and the like without touching a standard keyboard arrangement.

It is difficult to touch the standard keyboard layout because the customers are already used to it. Therefore, the present invention has selected a method of simply dividing a key arranged with a pair of consonants, a double consonant, a special character, or installing a separate key without confusion to existing customers.

In particular, when dividing the keys, there is a slight height difference so that the position of the keys can be clearly recognized without looking.

According to the present invention, when a key concatenated with a pair of consonants, a double consonant, a special character, and the like, the character can be input by one touch without a typo.

It is possible to enter the market without the resistance of standard keyboard users.

1 is an embodiment of a keyboard of the present invention.
2 is an embodiment of a keyboard of the present invention.

The present invention provides a keyboard capable of inputting letters with one touch without a typo by dividing a key arranged with a pair of consonants, a double vowel, a special character, etc., in any arrangement including a standard keyboard.

The computer keyboard is a device familiar to the general public, and drawings, operating methods, etc. of a standard keyboard will be omitted in the present application as a known technique.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows a special character key 401 or numeric key 402 divided into one embodiment of the keyboard of the present invention.

Conventionally, in order to input @ which is arranged on the top of a key because the two-digit key and the @ key are together, the input is possible only by pressing the number key two times while pressing the shift key. It is possible. In general keyboards, letters arranged on the upper keyboard are directly contacted with contacts on the bottom of the keypad by a touch sensing means of the keyboard, or connected to a data processing unit (by non-contact sensor or the like) to input characters. This part can be said to correspond to a known technique and it is not necessary to mention in detail.

The present invention is well known in the art that the keyboard user presses the shift key and enters a pair of consonants arranged on the top of the keypad, a lot of typos, taking into account the fact that the keyboard is divided into two (403) (404) by shifting Even if the key is not pressed, a vowel vowel or a double consonant of the corresponding key is inputted even by pressing the key disposed above (403).

Simplified implementation of this technique can be implemented by configuring the circuit so that the divided (mainly double consonants or double vowels, special character keys are arranged) keys 401 and 403 are always pressed and held. In other words, this function can be implemented by connecting each partitioned key with a shift key on a circuit. Of course, the following keys 402 and 404 are in a state of being input as before.

The principle of this technique is simple, but there is no trace of it being produced anywhere. The loyalty and prejudice to the standard keyboards made it difficult to easily think of developing new keyboards.

In the present invention, a user who is familiar with the standard keyboard unknowingly presses the shift key in the Hangul mode or the English mode, and presses any key at the same time or simultaneously presses the partition key 403 or the partitioned key 404. The character is input like the standard keyboard, so it is not at all uncomfortable for customers who are loyal to the standard keyboard. On the other hand, the shift key is not convenient for beginners or middle-aged users who mass produce typos.

In the Korean mode of the keyboard to which the present invention is applied, a consonant is input, and an uppercase letter is input in the English mode. In one embodiment, if a key and a number of special characters are arranged, a special character may be input in the divided key 401.

Even in the English letter "P" key where the vowels are arranged with "ㅖ" (403) and "ㅔ" (404), you can enter the corresponding key with one touch and unconsciously press the shift key and press one of the two keys. Pressing either the key or both keys will enter the letter 'ㅖ', the upper letter of the key sequence as in standard keyboards, so that a customer who is familiar with the old method will not get a typo.

In addition, when the alphabet is arranged on the partitioned key, the uppercase letter is entered by pressing shift, but the uppercase letter is entered by pressing the upper key 403, and the lowercase letter is pressed by pressing the down key 404. Press the shift key and the uppercase letters will be entered as before.

Normally, the uppercase alphabetic characters are entered when the Caps Lock (key on shift) function is turned on, the lowercase letters are entered when shift is used in this state, and the same function of a normal keyboard that works in reverse when the Caps Lock function is turned off.

Therefore, when the Caps Lock is turned on, the alphabet input function is operated as before, and the uppercase letters should be inputted by pressing any of the divided keys 403 and 404 so that existing users will not be uncomfortable. However, when the Caps Lock is turned off, the uppercase letter 403 is inputted when the upper key 403 is pressed and the lowercase letter is pressed when the lower key 404 is pressed to be consistent with the spirit of the present invention.

All keys may be split, but to minimize market resistance, a few letters such as ㅃ, ㅉ, ㄸ, ㄲ, ㅆ, ㅖ, etc., which are highly used and have a high possibility of typos, may be implemented first. In one extreme, you might only practice one letter of "ㅆ", which is often used in Hangul predicates. You may only use two keys, the "등" key and the parentheses key.

It is a good idea to leave the height difference when dividing the key. Raising the key in the up direction, as in the embodiment of (401) in the drawing, will help in the recognition of the key. It will be preferred that 403 be configured smaller than the keys 402 and 404 located below.

In summary, preferred embodiments of the present invention

1) The present invention is a keyboard having a plurality of keys for entering information into a computer; And the keyboard has at least one divided key (401, 403), the divided keys each comprising a divided press recognition means for sensing the pressure of the finger when inputting information to the bottom, the divided key Pressing means at the bottom of the (401) (403) is characterized in that it is provided with a separate contact for transferring the input information from the key to the information processing unit so that the key operates the keypad as before, even without pressing the shift key, It is an information input device.

2) The device is an information input device, characterized in that the key is provided with a certain height difference, such as 401 and 404, so that the finger is caught on the basis of the lower key of each of the keys divided up and down .

3) In addition, the keyboard is an information input device, which operates as before even when the key is pressed at the top of the divided key while the shift is pressed.

4) The input device is a contactless information input device which is arranged on the divided keypad and the letters processed when the key is pressed without pressing the shift key are double consonants.

Fig. 2 is functionally identical to that of Fig. 1, but the structure of the divided key is configured in the form of a pin. The installation of a small pin-shaped key minimizes the external differences from the standard keyboard, further reducing the customer's resistance. will be.

The pin-shaped key 602 provided in the " @ key number 2 key " 601 performs the same function as the above key in 401 divided in FIG. 604 is an enlarged picture of 601.

The pin-type key can be installed on all keys, but it may be used only for numeric keys arranged with special characters, Korean double consonant keys, or A, EI, OU vowels among the most popular alphabets. Keyboards, special characters, one-touch keyboards, etc. may be commercialized.
