Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a keyboard, and particularly to a keymate used when inputting programs, data, etc. to a combinatorial computer or the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of keyboard has been used to input programs such as combiators, data, etc., and as shown in FIG. 2, the cursor movement instruction section 11 is equipped with up, down, left, and right cursor movement keys.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When inputting programs or data, etc., and when you want to move the cursor displayed on the display device to the desired position, such a keyboard can be used horizontally or vertically relative to the currently displayed position. , in diagonal directions, the up, down, left and right keys 11 must be used separately, and in the case of continuous diagonal movement, operations due to an increase in the number of keys and an increase in the cursor movement time are required. This method has the drawbacks of significantly increasing time and increasing operator fatigue.

[Means for solving problems]

The keyboard of the present invention moves the cursor on the screen of the display device up and down according to instructions from a cursor movement instruction section and a cursor movement instruction section that have keys for instructing movement of the cursor on the display device up and down, left and right, and diagonally up and down and left and right. It is composed of a cursor movement control section that moves the cursor left and right, diagonally up and down, left and right.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a keyboard that is an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the system includes a cursor movement instruction section 11 and a cursor movement control section 12. The cursor movement instruction section 11 is a section having a key indicating the direction in which the cursor is to be moved.By pressing the key, the cursor moves in the direction indicated by the arrow from the current position as a base point. The cursor movement control unit 12 detects a key pressed by the cursor movement instruction unit 11, controls the direction in which the cursor is moved based on the current position, and controls the movement of the cursor on the display device. Also, this control continues for as long as the key is pressed. For example, if the current position of the cursor 21 on the display device 20 in FIG. The cursor was positioned at the desired position by pressing the key 11b (or the date key 11b
(You may also press the key 11a). However, according to this embodiment, by pressing the four key 11c and then pressing Kuninaka-118, the cursor can be positioned at the desired position in the shortest distance (shortest time).

As a result, when performing operations such as randomly modifying items on the entire screen, the cursor movement time can be significantly reduced, reducing the burden on the operator.
You can expect an increase in your workload.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention makes it possible to move the carnol to the target position in the shortest distance, and greatly improves processing efficiency by improving operability when inputting data from a display device such as a CRT display. It is possible to significantly reduce the amount of foam during data entry work.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A keyboard for inputting commands to move a cursor displayed on a display device to a desired position includes a cursor movement instruction section that instructs the direction of movement up, down, left, right, diagonally up, down, left, and right, and a cursor movement instruction section that instructs the direction of movement to a desired position. and a cursor movement control section that moves the cursor in the opposite direction.
