INPUT METHOD OF KEYBOARD-INPUT ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Abstract

One is to compose stratified keyboard for commands and symbols. Another is to compose corresponding system between screen displayed virtual keyboard and actual keyboard. For instance, one virtual key on the screen is endowed with certain function and when we touch one key on the actual keyboard whose position is corresponding to that one on the displayed screen, the function belonging to displayed one is executed.

All operations are executed through touching keyboard and thus manipulations get stereo typed and speedy. Furthermore, stratified stereo typed keyboard system for command, symbols, figures and characters propose us the chance to deliberate systematic formation for them.

Claims

1. An input method of keyboard input electronic apparatus including a keyboard input personal computer or a keyboard input mobile digital electronic apparatus which is equipped with an actual keyboard for inputting symbols and commands, the input method comprising: displaying a virtual keyboard on a screen by converting the actual keyboard, where one command is designated to each actual key, or one symbol is designated to each actual key, into the virtual keyboard; and executing the actual command or the actual symbols when the actual key of actual keyboard whose position corresponds to the virtual keyboard is touched, wherein the keyboard input personal computer or the keyboard input mobile digital electronic apparatus is equipped with a stratified command system, where subordinate command keyboard is invoked by prescribed command key and when the subordinate command on the subordinate keyboard is executed, then another lower subordinate keyboard belonging to the subordinate command, is invoked, and wherein the virtual keyboard displays the invoked command keyboard and disappears from the screen when the final command has been executed.

2. The input method of keyboard input electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the actual keyboard of the keyboard input personal computer or the keyboard input mobile digital electronic apparatus is composed of 3 lines and 10 columns in the personal computer, and 3 lines and 5 columns in the mobile digital electronic apparatus.

3. The input method of keyboard input electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein No. N symbol keyboard is invoked when the command to invoke symbol keyboard is executed N times.

EXECUTIVE FORM OF CURRENT INVENTION

[0094] A personal computer, a mobile phone, an electronic dictionary, various controller and so on Possibility for industrial utilization

[0095] Current invention, through introducing the input method of screen input electronic apparatus, achieved a high operability not seen among usual keyboard input personal computer.

[0096] In usual screen touch input system of electronic apparatus, the operation does not have fixed form and relatively speaking it lacks stability. Current invention resolves this instability and accelerates the speed of command input. Furthermore, each command is situated in the stratified construction of command keyboard, we can construct more self-conscious system than in the case of screen touch system.

[0097] Especially, in the case of 3 lines 5 columns keyboard system of current invention, it largely enhanced the operability of usual smartphone, acquired the same level or higher level of operability than in usual personal computer.

[0098] Then, combining current invention with above mentioned input system for Japanese, Chinese and European languages, we can achieve multilingual input in small sized electronic apparatus with the same practicality in the case of personal computer.

[0099] Thus, firstly we can expect current invention, through enhancing the range of effective function of small sized electronic apparatus, enhances the number of users and the amount of situations.

[0100] Secondly, it will change the nature of situation offered by information technology. Usual personal computer is endowed with certain scale, which constricts the situation or time to use it. Current invention rescues this kind of restriction. Users can share information, search data whenever and wherever with this small sized electronic apparatus. So, users can deal with information on a daily basis easily as with pocket book and much more efficiently as with usual personal computer.

[0101] Then, unlike with personal computer, current invention enables us daily to share information regardless time and situation.

[0102] Thus, current invention has the potential to bring along transfiguration of industrial structure and human relation.
