Computer keyboard control procedure for indicating incoming electronic mail, involves informing user of unread incoming e-mails

摘要

A method for controlling a keyboard for indicating the arrival of any e-mails at a computer involves checking an input postbox of the computer for any newly arrived e-mails, followed by querying the present state of selected indicators on the keyboard and dispatching a command at the keyboard in certain intervals, so that the user is informed of any unread e-mails which have arrived. The set keyboard state function is then closed and a return to the first step is made for repeating the checking of the input postbox for e-mails arriving in the given intervals and for automatic informing of the user about the newly arrived e-mails via the present indicators on the keyboard.
