Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability by instructing a keyboard to light a lamp by an application and informing a user of a key which waits for input. CONSTITUTION:A keyboard control system is provided with a keyboard control part 11 provided in a computer and a keyboard 12 connected to this control part 11, and this keyboard 12 is so constituted that lamps are lit on key tops. When an application program is executed, keys whose lamps should be lit are selected by a key assign routine, and it is discriminated in a discriminating part whether these keys are in busy or not, and lighting of lamps of keys to be used is actually indicated by a lamp lighting routine. Lamps of unnecessary keys not to be used are extinguished.

In FIG. 2, in this embodiment, when an application program 21 using a personal computer is executed, a key to be lit is selected in a key assignment routine, and a determining unit 22 determines whether or not that key is a used key. If the key is to be used, a lamp lighting routine 23 instructs the lamp to turn on, and control passes to a routine 26 that assigns an actual function to the keyboard.
Commands are sent to a keyboard that can light up a lamp.
