本発明は、複数のシフトキーを操作する時の誤操作を操
作者に可聴音で知らせることによって。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention notifies an operator of an erroneous operation when operating a plurality of shift keys with an audible sound.
操作を確認さ−Ｕる機能を持つキーボード制御回路に関
する。The present invention relates to a keyboard control circuit having a function of confirming operation.
最近の情報処理装置の発達に伴い、情報処理装置と会話

て来た。このような、情報処理装置と会話するための情
報の投入は、一般にキーボード（以下ＫＢと称する）を
操作することにより行われる。With the recent development of information processing devices, there are many opportunities to design devices and create documents while talking with the information processing devices. Inputting information for conversation with the information processing device is generally performed by operating a keyboard (hereinafter referred to as KB).
通常、 ＫＢからの情報投入は英字、数字、記号等で行
う。従って、 ＫＢにはこれらに対応する各種のシフト
キーが用意されている。しかし、これら各種のシフトキ
ーの操作を間違って情報投入すれば。Normally, information input from the KB is done using letters, numbers, symbols, etc. Therefore, the KB is equipped with various shift keys corresponding to these. However, if you input information incorrectly by operating these various shift keys.
正確な情報作成が不可能となるばかりではなく。Not only will it be impossible to create accurate information;
訂正・やり直し等にかなりの時間を要するため７かかる
シフトキーの誤操作をより確実に確認出来る機能を備え
たキーボード制御回路の実用化が望まれている。Since it takes a considerable amount of time to make corrections and redos, it is desired to put into practical use a keyboard control circuit that has a function of more reliably confirming erroneous operation of the shift key.
第２図はキーボードの従来の制御回路図で、 （Ａ）は

操作者はランプｂの点燈状態を見て誤操作の有無を確認
する方法である。The confirmation method shown in Figure 2 (A) is that the KBI has a built-in lamp b inside the shift key a.
When pressed, the control unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 2 receives information, lights up the lamp b corresponding to the pressed shift key a according to the program stored in the memory 3, and presses the KBI.
In this method, the operator checks the lighting status of lamp b to check whether there is any erroneous operation.
又、第２図（Ｂ）の確認方法は、 ＫＢＩでシフトキー
ａを押下すると、 Ｃ，ＰＯ２は情報を受けると共に表

ＫＢＩ操作者に誤操作の有無を確認させる方法である
。In addition, the confirmation method shown in FIG. 2 (B) is as follows: When the shift key a is pressed on the KBI, the C and PO2 receive the information and start the display control unit 4, and display 1 on the cathode ray tube 5 corresponding to the pressed shift key a. For example, displaying kana, alphanumeric characters, etc.
This is a method that allows the KBI operator to check whether there is an erroneous operation.
しかし、上記のような視覚のみにたよった従来の確認方
法では、シフトキー操作を間違ってもきかつかない場合
が比較的多かった。However, with the conventional confirmation method that relies only on vision as described above, there are relatively many cases in which the wrong shift key operation cannot be detected.
本発明は、上記問題点を解消した新規なキーボード制御

generating means for emitting different audio frequencies in response to shift states specified by; and selecting means for selecting an audio frequency corresponding to the operation from among the plurality of audio frequencies;
The problem is solved by a keyboard control circuit according to the present invention, which is provided with a voice generating means for generating a predetermined voice frequency selected by the selection means.

フトキーを確認することにより、シフトキーの誤操作を
より確実に確認出来るようにすることが出来た。That is, when a predetermined shift key corresponding to one operation on the keyboard is pressed, the selected shift key is confirmed by the sound, lamp, or sound corresponding to the pressed shift key, or by the display on the cathode ray tube. That is, by visually and audibly confirming the selected shift key, it is possible to more reliably confirm whether the shift key has been erroneously operated.
以下本発明の要旨を第１図に示す実施例により具体的に
説明する。The gist of the present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIG.
