Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for converting data between different types of keyboards by which a scan code conversion can be effectively mounted between different types of keyboards when remotely operating a remote control keyboard. SOLUTION: Concerning this method for converting data between different types of keyboards, in a remote control technique for one managing work station 1 to remotely control other managing object work stations 2, 3 and 4 between information terminals such as work stations, for example, connected by a network, the case of different physical types or logical layout between the keyboards of the managing work station and the managing object work stations is set as an object. In this case, a real scan code generated by the keyboard on the side of the managing work station is temporarily converted to a virtual scan code. Afterwards, the virtual scan code is converted to the real scan code of the keyboard on the side of the managing object scan code.
