3、 在字符或功能的实现和帮助上, 用含有 26个及以上此类方案的键盘键 的组成为例来说, 由于对任意有序双键的操作, 可形成该组合键操作相对应的 扫描码、 字符或功能, 故使按键操作可形成至少 26 X 26=676个特定的字符或 功能。 为方便记忆, 在组合键操作中, 先按键作为类功能键, 用来指定某类功 能, 后按键用来识别此类功能之一, 来实现该操作的对应字符或功能, 从而将 组合键划分为至少 26类不同的字符或功能; 其中指定某一键为输入法类功能 键, 先按此键不放, 再按其它一键的组合键操作, 可实现对至少 25种不同输 入法的调用, 一种输入法对应于可用键盘 BIOS 中断服务程序调用的一张二维 表, 在不同的输入法中, 可通过对二维表中各元素的不同定义实现不同的字符 或功能, 从而可实现至少 26 X 25 X 25=16250个特定的字符或功能; 在某种输 入法下, 可对单键的按放操作实现 26个英文字符的输入, 或通过诸如汉字输 入的五笔字型, 拼音等软件编码的方式实现某种语言的输入, 而有序的双组合 键可实现新的字符或功能输入。 另外, 为了能对如此庞大的字符或功能的使用 中, 消除记忆障碍, 轻松实现有序双键的组合键操作对相应字符或功能的输入, 使用了软件的方法提供了可输出在显示器的帮助画面, 并与按、 放键操作相对 应, 当按下某一键不放时, 帮助画面显示该键代表的类功能的提示, 其余各键 显示如再按下此键时所能实现的字符或功能的提示。 在键操作与实现字符或功 能的对应上, 将最常用字符或功能依据方便记忆和手指操作的原则对键盘键做 优化布置。 3. In the implementation and help of characters or functions, using a keyboard with a composition of 26 or more such schemes as an example, due to the operation of any ordered double key, a corresponding combination of key operations can be formed. Scan codes, characters or functions, so that key operations can form at least 26 X 26 = 676 specific characters or functions. In order to facilitate memory, in the combination key operation, the key is first used as a class function key to specify a certain type of function, and the second key is used to identify one of these functions to achieve the corresponding character or function of the operation, thereby dividing the combination key. There are at least 26 different characters or functions. Among them, a certain key is designated as an input method function key. Press this key first, and then press the other key combination to operate. At least 25 different input methods can be called. An input method corresponds to a two-dimensional table that can be called by the keyboard BIOS interrupt service routine. In different input methods, different characters or functions can be implemented through different definitions of each element in the two-dimensional table, thereby achieving at least 26 X 25 X 25 = 16250 specific characters or functions; Under a certain input method, a single key press operation can be used to input 26 English characters, or through Wubi fonts such as Chinese character input, pinyin and other software coding Way to realize the input of a certain language, and the ordered double key combination can realize the input of new characters or functions. In addition, in order to eliminate memory barriers in the use of such huge characters or functions, and easily implement an orderly double-key combination key operation to input corresponding characters or functions, the software method is used to provide help that can be output on the display Screen, as opposed to pressing and releasing keys Therefore, when a key is held down, the help screen displays prompts for the functions represented by the key, and the remaining keys display prompts for characters or functions that can be achieved when the key is pressed again. In the correspondence between key operations and the realization of characters or functions, the most commonly used characters or functions are optimized for keyboard keys based on the principles of convenient memory and finger operation.
4、 另外也可由通用鼠标键盘布局中只由键盘键构成多功能键盘, 或由有 鼠标功能的盘体的那一部分构成单手鼠标键盘, 而在字符或功能实现上, 采取 相同的技术方案。  4. In addition, the multifunctional keyboard can be composed of only the keyboard keys in the general mouse and keyboard layout, or the one-handed mouse keyboard can be constituted by the part of the disk body with the mouse function, and the same technical solution is adopted in the realization of characters or functions.
5、 由于键盘键主要采用了单键或有序双键的组合键操作, 均可实现特定 的符号或功能的输入方案, 使得本发明可只用数量较少的按键就可实现丰富的 按键输入功能, 而按键数量的减少, 使盘体的体积和重量均大幅下降, 使手指 和键盘键较轻接触所形成摩擦力便可实现手指对盘体的移动, 而按键可实现的 字符或功能又如此丰富, 这使得键盘和鼠标在操作、 功能、 逻辑、 处理芯片等 多方面的进一步的融合成为可能和必要, 其方法是, 把鼠标键用方便手指操作 的, 不含重复键功能的键盘键或键盘键的组合键代替, 而把鼠标的光标位移感 应元件置于盘体, 通过手指和键盘键接触的摩擦力, 使手指移动时, 带动盘体 移动, 来实现光标的移动; 在电子逻辑和处理芯片中, 部分或全部采用本发明 提出的键盘键输入方案和键盘键或键盘键的组合键代替鼠标键方案, 并且为满 足多种需求, 可赋予一定的逻辑设置能力。  5. Since the keyboard keys are mainly operated by a single key or an ordered two-key combination, both can input specific symbols or functions, so that the present invention can achieve rich key input with only a small number of keys Function, and the number of keys is reduced, which greatly reduces the volume and weight of the disk body. The friction caused by the light contact between the finger and the keyboard keys can realize the finger movement to the disk body, and the characters or functions that the keys can achieve are This richness makes it possible and necessary for the keyboard and mouse to further merge in many aspects such as operation, function, logic, and processing chip. The method is to use the mouse keys with finger keys that are convenient for operation, and do not include the repeated key functions. Or the keyboard key combination is replaced, and the cursor displacement sensing element of the mouse is placed on the disk body, and the friction of the contact between the finger and the keyboard key causes the finger body to move the disk body to achieve the movement of the cursor; in electronic logic And processing chips, part or all of the keyboard key input scheme and keyboard keys or keyboard key combinations proposed by the present invention are used The key combination replaces the mouse button scheme, and to meet a variety of needs, it can be endowed with certain logic setting capabilities.

2、 在字符或功能实现上: 第一, 对于单键的按放操作, 单独按下并放开 英文字符键或空格键实现小写英文字符或空格的输入, 或通过诸如汉字输入的 五笔字型, 拼音等软件编码的方式实现某种语言的输入, 而单独按下输入法键 时, 输出在显示器的键盘帮助画面显示各键代表的输入法, 而现在正在使用的 输入法则用不同颜色予以区分; 输出在显示器的键盘帮助画面显示与操作相对 应的类功能键的字符或功能含义, 可有多种设置, 如时刻在显示器显示、 从不 在显示器上显示、 只有有键按下时才延时显示等, 且延时时长也可设置, 其画 面变化和键操作相对应。 第二, 对于有序组合双键的操作, 在键盘键上的各键 的下排文字代表该键所实现的类功能示例, 如图 2所示, 它表示先按某一类功 能键, 再按其它一键实现对应类功能相应键的字符或功能, 但对相邻两键的组 合键并不严格按类功能区分, 特别是对同一行的相邻两键的组合键, 由于这种 组合键操作几乎和单键操作一样简单, 故用来实现除 26个英文字母键、 空格 键、 输入法键以外最常用字符或功能, 如 Enter、 Esc. Del, Backspace, 逗号、 句号等, 图 2中 W和 E键上的向上的箭头符号表示按下组合键 WE或 EW实 现光标上移, 两键中无论先按那一键, 在实现字符或功能上都是相同的, 其它 相邻组合键以此类推。 图 4是某一输入法下对键操作所实现的字符或功能的一 张二维表, 一种输入法对应一张二维表, 先按下输入法键, 再按其它一键实现 对不同输入法及二维表的调用。  2. In the implementation of characters or functions: First, for the single key press and release operation, press and release the English character key or space key alone to implement lowercase English characters or space input, or Wubi fonts such as Chinese characters. , Pinyin and other software coding methods to achieve the input of a certain language, and when the input method keys are pressed individually, the input method represented by each key is displayed on the keyboard help screen of the display, and the input methods currently in use are distinguished by different colors ; The characters or function meanings of the function keys corresponding to the operation are displayed on the keyboard help screen of the display, and there can be various settings, such as the time to be displayed on the display, never displayed on the display, and only delayed when the key is pressed Display, etc., and the delay time can also be set, and its screen change corresponds to the key operation. Secondly, for the operation of an ordered combination of two keys, the lower line of each key on the keyboard key represents an example of the type of function implemented by the key. As shown in FIG. 2, it means that a certain type of function key is pressed first, and then Press the other one key to realize the character or function of the corresponding key of the corresponding type of function, but the key combination of adjacent two keys is not strictly distinguished by the class function, especially for the key combination of adjacent two keys in the same row. The key operation is almost as simple as a single key operation, so it is used to implement the most common characters or functions except 26 English alphabet keys, space bar, and input method keys, such as Enter, Esc. Del, Backspace, comma, period, etc., Figure 2 The upward arrow symbols on the W and E keys indicate that pressing the combination key WE or EW to move the cursor up. No matter which key is pressed first, the two characters are the same in terms of characters or functions. Other adjacent combination keys And so on. Figure 4 is a two-dimensional table of characters or functions implemented by key operation under an input method. One input method corresponds to a two-dimensional table. Press the input method key first, and then press the other key to implement different input methods and two. Call of dimension table.
3、 在键的按放操作、 扫描码形成、 扫描码转换和字符或功能实现的逻辑 上, 对键盘微处理器程序做如下的逻辑修改: 任一键盘键一次单独的按下并放 开的操作, 生成相应键操作的扫描码, 但取消按下一定时间后产生该按键的重 复键处理; 任一键盘键单独按下不放, 再按下其它一键的操作, 可生成新的相 应键操作的扫描码, 必要时还可赋予该有序组合按键在按下一定时间时, 启用 重复键处理的功能; 当有三个及以上键按下时, 发出按键全部放开的特定扫描 码, 如图 3, 并将键盘锁死, 使后续操作无效, 直到按键全部放开后才变为有 效; 并且, 键操作扫描码的形成均视为可识别按放动作和键码的有序双键的组 合键扫描码, 对单键的按放操作, 可补充特定的扫描码形成有序双键的组合键 扫描码, 如图 3, 单独按下 A键形成 A100的有序双键的组合键扫描码, 单键 放开 A键形成 00A0的有序双键的组合键扫描码, 其它单键的按放操作的扫描 码形成以此类推。 通过键盘接口盘微处理器的程序修改来实现对扫描码的转换 (当然, 这一逻辑也可在键盘微处理器中实现), 其中放键操作均转换为相同 的特定扫描码, 如图 3第三列所示, 均转换为 0*。 通过转换的扫描码对应于一 张可用键盘 BIOS 中断服务程序调用的二维表, 二维表的第一列对应于有序双 键的组合键扫描码的第一码, 第一行对应于有序双键的组合键扫描码的第二 码, 通过查表, 如图 4, 使表格中对应位置的元素格置 1, 输出该元素格对应 的字符或功能, 无扫描码接收时表格中各元素均为 0, 在二维表为可接收扫描 码的状态时, 当 0列有中有 1状态(即上一扫描码是反映单键按动作的扫描码) 时, 在接受扫描码时先判断该码是否为 0*, 如不是则二维表复位(表格各元素 格全置 0), 后接受该扫描码并査表; 如是则二维表不复位, 直接接受该扫描码 并査表, 并且只有当 *列中有为 1 的元素格时, 0列中为 1 的元素格才可输出 字符或功能, 增加这一判是为了实现除输入法切换键外其它 27个单键先按后 放的单键输入, 当 0 列中均为 0状态时, 在二维表接受扫描码时, 均先复位 二维表, 以消除上一扫描码对此次查表影响, 其逻辑图如图 8, 这也要求键盘 BIOS 中断服务程序为实现此逻辑做对应修改。 由于一种输入法对应一张二维 表, 必要时可增加驱动软件来实现, 图 4为某一输入法下的一张二维表。 另 IJ外, 在电脑启动时, 总以英文字符输入法作为默认的输入法启动, 以方便在启动中 对 CMOS进行设置。 此外由于用组合键实现的英文字符和单键实现的英文字符 对应于二维表中的不同位置, 可规定只有用单键实现的英文字符才可实现对诸 如五笔字型, 拼音等以编码方式实现的输入法的激活, 这使得在诸如五笔字型 等的输入法下, 无需做任何切换, 在激活该输入法前, 可用组合健输入大写或 小写的英文字符。 输出在显示器的键盘帮助画面用驱动软件来实现, 其逻辑和 二维表相对应, 其画面变化与键操作的变化对应, 如图 3、 图 4。 3. On the logic of pressing and releasing the key, forming the scan code, converting the scan code, and implementing the characters or functions, make the following logical modifications to the keyboard microprocessor program: Press and release any one of the keyboard keys once Operation to generate a scan code for the corresponding key operation, but cancel the repeated key processing of the key generated after pressing for a certain period of time; press and hold any keyboard key alone, and then press the other key operation to generate a new corresponding key The scan code of the operation, if necessary, can also give the ordered combination key to enable when pressed for a certain time Function of repeating key processing; When three or more keys are pressed, a specific scan code is issued for all keys to release, as shown in Figure 3, and the keyboard is locked to disable subsequent operations until the keys are fully released before becoming Effective; In addition, the formation of the key operation scan code is regarded as a combination key scan code that can recognize the press and release action and an ordered double bond of the key code, and the press and release operation of a single key can supplement a specific scan code to form an ordered double key. The key combination scan code of the key, as shown in FIG. 3, press the A key alone to form an ordered double key combination code of A100, and a single key to release the A key to form an order double key combination code of 00A0. The scan code of the push and release operation of the keys is formed by analogy. The scan code conversion is realized through the program modification of the keyboard interface disk microprocessor (of course, this logic can also be implemented in the keyboard microprocessor), where the key-up operations are converted to the same specific scan code, as shown in Figure 3 As shown in the third column, all are converted to 0 *. The converted scan code corresponds to a two-dimensional table that can be called by the keyboard BIOS interrupt service routine. The first column of the two-dimensional table corresponds to the first code of an ordered two-key combination key scan code, and the first row corresponds to the The second code of the sequential double-key combination key scan code is obtained by looking up the table, as shown in Figure 4, setting the element cell at the corresponding position in the table to 1, and outputting the character or function corresponding to the element cell. The elements are all 0. When the two-dimensional table is in a state that can receive the scan code, when there is a state of 1 in the 0 column (that is, the previous scan code is a scan code that reflects a single key press), the scan code is first accepted. Determine whether the code is 0 *, if not, the two-dimensional table is reset (all elements in the table are set to 0), and then accept the scan code and check the table; if so, the two-dimensional table is not reset, directly accept the scan code and check the table, and Only when there is an element grid of 1 in the * column, the element grid of 1 in the 0 column can output characters or functions. The addition of this judgment is to realize that the 27 single keys other than the input method switch key are pressed first and then placed. Single-key input, when all 0 columns are 0, the Dimensional code tables when scanned, two-dimensional table are first reset in order to cancel out the influence of the scan code of a look-up table, the logic shown in Figure 8, which also requires BIOS keyboard interrupt service routine to make the corresponding modifications to implement this logic. Because an input method corresponds to a two-dimensional table, driver software can be added to implement it if necessary. Figure 4 shows a two-dimensional table under an input method. In addition to IJ, when the computer is started, the English character input method is always used as the default input method to start, so as to facilitate the setting of the CMOS during the startup. In addition, because the English characters implemented by a combination of keys and the English characters implemented by a single key correspond to different positions in the two-dimensional table, it can be specified that only English characters implemented by a single key can implement coding methods such as Wubi fonts, Pinyin The activation of the input method is implemented, so that under an input method such as Wubi font, there is no need to do any switching. Before activating the input method, you can use a combination key to input uppercase or lowercase English characters. The keyboard help screen output on the display is implemented by driver software. The logic corresponds to the two-dimensional table. The screen changes correspond to the key operation changes, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.
