DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention is based on the home position in the operation of a JIS keyboard used in a computer or a word processor and does not need to directly see most of the keys of the keyboard. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a keyboard operation method learning device that can be divided, that is, can be blind-touched, and more particularly to a hand slide keyboard operation method learning device that displays a keyboard operation method by a hand slide method on a screen according to a certain procedure.

(Prior Art) The conventional method for learning blind touch is
It is intended for typewriters and is called the anchor key (fulcrum key) method used in English-type technical colleges. On the other hand, no one has been established so far as a method of learning blind touch for a keyboard of a computer or a word processor.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In recent years, the frequency of use of keyboards has increased with the spread of personal computers and word processors.
Due to such circumstances, it is required that the blind touch of the keyboard can be acquired in a short period of time and that everyone can operate the keyboard at a speed that does not interfere with work and daily life. .

Conventionally, in order to learn the blind touch of the keyboard, the anchor method adopted in the type school has been generally used.

The anchor method is defined as follows.

Each finger of both hands is left thumb- [Space] key on keyboard, left index-F key on keyboard, left middle finger- [D] key on keyboard, left ring finger- [S] key on keyboard, Left little finger- [A] key on the keyboard,
Right hand thumb- [Space] key on keyboard, right hand index- [J] key on keyboard, right middle finger- [K] key on keyboard, right ring finger- [L] key on keyboard, right little finger-on keyboard Put it like the [;] key to set the home position of each finger.

When hitting a key other than the home position, use the home position as the fulcrum position and hit the desired key. Later, when hitting the [¥] key, spread the finger while placing the index finger on the [J] key that serves as a fulcrum, and extend the little finger to the position of the [¥] key and hit the key.

In addition, for all keys, it is determined which key is to be used as a fulcrum key. These methods have the following problems.

That is, it is stable when hitting any key, and when hitting a key that is away from the home position,
Although it is psychologically less burdened, on the other hand, which fulcrum key combination is fixed when hitting which key,
The point is that there are many restrictions.

Next, since the finger, which is the fulcrum, must always be placed on the fulcrum key, it is disadvantageous for a person with a small hand when hitting a key located away from the home position.

And unlike the keys on the manual typewriter, the keys on the keyboard allow you to enter characters with a light touch,
There is a risk that the characters of the fulcrum key may be entered by mistake.
