Traditional and widely used QW E RTY keyboards have been around about the age of mechanical typewriters, and are designed to reduce typing speed and avoid collectively pressing adjacent keys to avoid jamming of the keystrokes of the keys. However, QWERTY-style keyboards have many inherent problems. The first 'hard to learn' requires weeks and even months of teaching and learning time. As a result, many keyboard users have never been able to type efficiently and must often look down at the keyboard in order to find the proper word from it and type. This leads to the second problem-poor posture, which is caused by fatigue, tension and pain in the neck and shoulders. The second point is important, because this kind of keyboard does not have user affinity, it will make some groups of potential users not want to type and make the availability and growth of computer use and technological development change. Go slowly. Other problems with conventional keyboards and other sequels caused by mechanical typewriters are their traditional rectangular keyboard designs. This is because the keyboard was designed to meet the needs of the machine, not the needs of people. The horizontal straight configuration of the keys will force the wrist to be twisted. 4 This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 public love). -------------- (Please read the back first Please pay attention to this page before filling in this page) Line 丨 # 518506 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (V at a certain angle 'causes muscle tightness and repetitive motion lesions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome. Although an advanced electronic keyboard is used QWERTY and rectangular designs are still widely used. This is due to inertia and not because of its ease of use. In order to change the above situation, a few and relatively difficult efforts include "a" angled "Microsoft" Keyboards, as well as various ergonomic separate keyboards, which retain QWERTY-style key arrangements and therefore cause the problems described above. B · Dv〇rak-type keyboards, which replace qwerty-type key arrangements to allow efficient use of various considerations Different configurations of sons and daughters. Although it is more advanced than qwerty-type keyboards, Dvorak-type key configurations are still not capable of typing by intuition alone, it still needs to learn again It should have a fairly good memory. The object of the present invention is to provide a novel alphabet character input device which can alleviate at least one problem of the learning skill or can provide a more useful option for the general public.

Description of the invention (The keys with sound will be divided into multiple groups in alphabetical order, and each group will borrow A vowel is separated from the next group in alphabetical order. Preferably, the keys of each group will be located in separate columns. The mother keys can be grouped together, preferably in alphabetical order, where the group of The spacing between the vowel keys on at least one end will be greater than the spacing in the middle of the group. At least one female vowel key at one end of the group will be larger than the middle key of the group. The vowel keys will be further It is set at a suggested position where the typing finger of the user's hand is placed. For car, a blank button, a return button and three consonant buttons will be set at a suggested position of the user's typing finger. Each consonant group It can be better distinguished from other groups by visual or tactile methods, and the vowel in the front of the group can be identified in the same way as the group. The group will be coded by color. It is preferred that the button be divided into two spaced regions, and the buttons of each region will be substantially arranged in multiple columns, and the multiple columns will be angled to each other. The multiple columns of each region can form a v-shape, And the angle is adjustable, the consonant buttons can be grouped between the areas in alphabetical order, and the vowel buttons can be arranged in an area of the area.

The right $ side area $ is roughly configured with 20 keys, including the remaining consonant keys from αχ. The consonant keys will It is divided into groups in alphabetical order, η, Ί2, 2Ί, 22, and 23. The consonant group 23 will be set in multiple lines. Each group η, * 12, 21, 22, and 23 will be alphabetically ordered by- The vowels are separated from the next group. The vowels themselves will be divided into another-group 30 in the shape of an arc using the keys 31 to 35. Mother The keys of group 30 will be sighed in alphabetical order AEIOU, so that the left finger can naturally fall on the vowel button. To achieve this, the female θ button A where the thumb and little finger are placed (Key 3Ί) and (J (Key 32)) will be larger, and the distance between them will be larger than the distance between the vowel buttons 33 to 35.
