Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain ease of operation with less number of keys by providing 10 code keys arranged corresponding to finger positions and using combination of plural code keys to input one set of character information. CONSTITUTION:The input keys 2 are arranged corresponding to human fingers and constituted as 10 input keys. A keyboard box 1 has the keys 2 and is built with a key input electronic device. Since character information is handled as 8-bit information, combinations of 0s and 1s form one character information. Then the state that the key 2 is not depressed as '0' and depressed as '1' is specified with key operation, and the same result as the operation of a conventional keyboard is obtained. Through the constitution above, with the number of 10 keys corresponding to left and right fingers, the 1,024 ways of expressions are attained, which means sufficiently practical expressions.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a character information input device for inputting character information;
In particular, the present invention relates to a keyboard device connected to a character computer, typewriter, or word processor.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, a character input keyboard device 3 connected to a character-nice gray device, etc., has a large number of keys 4 corresponding to character information, and it is easy to press the desired key. was input as one character information.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Inputting such conventional character information requires the operator to search for the key positions of alphabetical characters, kana characters, numerical characters, etc., or to input information that is habitually memorized in the head.
I was inputting data by pressing all the keys for one purpose. Therefore, although it depends on the amount of information, the number of keys arranged on the keyboard device to input all character information increases. There is a disadvantage that physical fatigue increases due to moving back and forth, left and right on the device.The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate this disadvantage and to create a character that can be easily operated by reducing the number of keys. All information input devices are provided.

[Means for solving problems]

The character information input device of the present invention has ten code keys for character information input arranged in correspondence with the positions of the fingers of the hand, and a combination of a plurality of code keys among these code keys allows one code key to be input. All character information must be entered.

[Action of the invention]

According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the number of keys on a keyboard device for inputting one character, and to input character information by simultaneously operating a plurality of keys corresponding to fingers of the hand.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail using the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the input keys 2 are prepared to correspond to human fingers, and are configured as ten input keys 2.

The keyboard box lfl holds these input keys 2r and also incorporates an electronic circuit for keyboard input.

When character information is input using this character input device TItt, the character information is generally treated as 8-bit information. This information will be transmitted to, for example, a higher-level computer device. This is an 8-bit rOJ
Since the combination of and "1" is one character of information, it is a good idea to press the input key 2t-1 to create the same information of 0 and 1, and the state where the input key is not pressed t- r
OJ, I decided to define the pressed state as "1".

It is possible to obtain the same result as pressing the conventional keyboard 4 shown in FIG.

By adopting this simple configuration, the number of keys is set to 10, corresponding to the left and right fingers of the human system, and 72: case, G 2 = 1,024 ways of expression are possible, which is different from the conventional general case. The number of keys on the keyboard can be fully displayed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has a 1 point configuration with 9 keys corresponding to the fingers of the hand, so that input can be performed by pressing the fingers without moving the hand back and forth or from side to side. It is possible to perform rounding operations, reduce physical fatigue, and perform input operations with rich operability.

In addition, in the case of normal Φ-board manipulation, since the information is transmitted to the upper combiator etc. as a code for the press and character information in one key', elaborate conversion logic is required to convert it into code information. However, if the input device of the present invention is adopted, there is an advantage that no conversion logic is required since the information pressed by a human finger is itself code information.

As described above, the character information input device according to the present invention has an input key.
The number of ρ is extremely small compared to that of the prior art, and there is no need to move the hand (finger); all that is required is to check the output character information by pressing the finger.

In the character information input device according to the present invention, the determination of which code combination (i.e., which code to press and which finger to press) for the desired character information is initially done by looking at a conversion table, but once you get used to it. When you see a character to be input into a circle, you must immediately move your fingertips instinctively to type the code corresponding to that character!Il#.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a conventional character information input device. In the figure, 1, 3... character information input device operation box, 2.4... character input keys.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 10 characters for inputting character information arranged according to the position of the fingers of the hand
