<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device which can be configured as a manufacturing step or by a user to input selected characters. <P>SOLUTION: The input device includes character input keys and an internal memory. A specific character that is input by activating one of the character input keys is determined by a configuration code that is stored within the internal memory. The configuration code is associated with a key mapping configuration of a host device, for example, and can be associated with a plurality of character identifiers for the character input keys. When the input device is configured during manufacturing, the configuration codes can be programmed into the internal memory and the character identifiers can be added. When the input device is configured by the user, the configuration codes and the character identifiers are replaced with alternative configuration codes and character identifiers. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
