JAPANESE SIMULTANEOUS KEY ENTRY BY BIDIRECTIONAL KEY ENTRY

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Japanese input system which enhances the direct input feeling of kana character compared with Roman letter input, reduces the burden for learning a new arrangement as much as possible, and eliminates the need for a keyboard having a dedicated arrangement.SOLUTION: One kana character input is achieved by pushing two keys simultaneously, by simultaneous key entry using bidirectional key entry setting. Direct input feeling of kana character is superior to conventional Roman letter continuous key entry. Combination of keys of simultaneous key entry is based on the Roman letter, and since Roman character input by conventional continuous key entry can be used in combination to some extent, the burden of learning is less. It can be used on a general QWERTY arrangement keyboard.
