METHOD OF INPUTTING FUNCTIONS

摘要

A method of inputting functions in which functions different depending upon the conditions are imparted to keys (2a), and when a predetermined key is pushed under a variety of conditions, an apparatus (1) executes the function imparted to the key that is pushed. Correspondence between the conditions and the functions imparted to the keys (2a) is stored in a memory (1a) and the present conditions are monitored. The functions imparted to the keys under the present conditions are displayed together with the key names on a display device (3), and appropriate keys are pushed by referring to the display to input the functions.
