It can be used primarily for teaching basic printing skills and improving the skills for quickly entering alphanumeric information while mastering the blind printing method.
  • the keyboards currently used in personal computers are intended for entering alphanumeric information into computers, controlling a computer monitor, etc. Due to the massive use of products of this class, stable principles for the construction of devices of this type have developed, which basically boil down to the following. Eighty to one hundred-odd keys are assembled in a flat design. The keys are divided into several zones, for example, one or more zones of function keys, a zone of an alphanumeric keyboard similar to a keyboard of ordinary typewriters, a zone of an additional keyboard. The keyboard controller built into the keyboard monitors the state of pressing and releasing individual keys and transfers these states directly to the computer processor. And recently, in practice, not only standard keyboards with one-way communication according to the “cl aviatura - EBM” scheme have been used, but also

  • Each of the keys 2 consists of a transparent keyboard head 5, mounted on a rod 6, equipped with a return spring 7 (see Fig. 3).

  • two contrasting colors for example, red and blue
  • the LED 10 is mounted so that its upper edge extends above the working surface of the fourteen segment indicator 11 by about 1 to 5 mm. This is due to the fact that with this arrangement of the above-mentioned key display elements, the symbol displayed on the fourteen-segment indicator 11 will be more contrasted with the light emitting LED 10 than if it is displayed when the upper surfaces of the display elements are at the same level.
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 11 in combination with each other is essentially a single functional electronic device that is connected to the keyboard controller 3 and the data processing device 4 electronically regardless of the position of the key.

  • the corresponding signal through the controller 3 and the data processing device 4 is supplied to that key 2, which, in accordance with the program stored in the computer 8, will be responsible for inserting the memory 8 into the memory of the computer and, accordingly, displaying the symbol “A” on the monitor 9.
  • the elements “1 1”, “7”, “1”, “2” and “8” light up (see FIG. 2), thereby reproducing the symbol “on the fourteen-segment indicator” A ".
  • the LED 10 in the form of a rectangular frame the first of the two colors reproduced by it lights up, for example red.
  • the key 2 in question plays an alphabetic character. If you want to reproduce a digital symbol, then on the LED 10 in the form of a rectangular frame in accordance with the program laid down in the computer 8, the second of the two colors reproduced by the LED 10 will light up, for example blue. This is done so that it is easy to distinguish between letters and numbers that look similar to each other (as shown above, the letter “B” and the number “6” are practically indistinguishable, the letter “0” and “0”, etc. P.). So if the user sees a red frame along the outline of the symbol, then he understands that the letter is displayed on the keyboard head 5, and if the blue frame lights up, then a number is displayed on the keyboard head 5.
  • the indicated principle of using a two-color LED 10 in the form of a rectangular frame located along the contour of the fourteen-segment indicator 1 1 can be applied to distinguish between similar characters of the Russian and Latin alphabets.

  • Another important aspect from the point of view of the above technical result is that the presence of a LED 10 in the form of a rectangular frame provides high contrast display of the character (i.e. e. its best visibility to the user) against the background of the working surface of the keyboard head 5.
  • LED 10 In order to ensure the reproduction in LED 10 of two contrasting colors, it carries out two electric spirals enclosed in two colored glass shells (red and blue), which in turn are enclosed in a common transparent capsule (not shown in the figures). It can be made with approximately the following overall dimensions: 1O x 10 x 7 mm. Such dimensions make it easy to install in the body of a standard keyboard head 5. Depending on what color of the LED 10 you want to turn on, the program included in the computer 8 activates a particular spiral of the LED, thereby lighting the LED 10 in one of two color modes.
  • the fourteen-segment indicator 1 1 can easily be made on the basis of a standard well-known seven-segment indicator. It, like the seven-segment indicator, has a rectangular shape, however, inside the specified rectangular contour, the middle segment is divided into two separate segments, and the indicator also includes six rays radially diverging from the center — segments (see Fig. 2).
