Abstract: Involves initially determining mouse function (38) associated with external force pressing on third key (34), by searching through data-bank (39). Shape (40) of mouse pointer is determined in correspondence to mouse function, by searching through data bank (41). Change in mouse pointer shape, displayed in response to external pressure on key, is basis of determining shape of mouse pointer.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a keyboard incorporated coordinate indication device containing an input function corresponding to the third key of a mouse. SOLUTION: In the keyboard incorporated coordinate indication device, an input part corresponding to the third key 30 is added to a track point 40 as a base. Respective key tops are arranged on a keyboard unit 100 in a 'QWERTY' array system. The stick-like track point 40 is provided in a position corresponding to the home position of a keyboard. A palm rest is provided in front of the space key in the forefront of the keyboard, and first and second keys 10 and 20 are provided in an almost central part of this side. A third key 30 is provided without a gap before and behind on this side of the first and second keys 10 and 20. The third key 30 has width equal to the total of the first and second keys 10 and 20. A projection for resting the finger by a user at the time of an operation is protrusively provided in the center of the front edge part of the first or third key 10 or 30. The projection of the third key 30 is formed to be lower than the first and second keys 10 and 20.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To immediately notice the mis-depression of a key in a method for displaying the mouse pointer of a three-key mouse. SOLUTION: Respective detection parts 32-37 detect outer force that a third key receives. A mouse function decision part 38 decides a function allocated to a third key from the outer force detection result. A mouse pointer form determining part 40 determines the form of a mouse pointer, which corresponds to the function, based on the function decision result. The form of the mouse pointer in the middle of display is changed in response to outer force. Since the addition of outer force to the third key can be fed back through eyes, a user can immediately notice the mis-depression of the key.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adjust speed for scrolling display data of a work window displayed on a display and to visually display scroll speed which is set. SOLUTION: When the scroll of display data is instructed, the display form of the mouse cursor changes. Namely, a speed indicator appear in an instructed scroll direction. The speed indicators appear by a number corresponding to scroll speed which is set and they are arranged in the scroll direction approximately from the center of a mouse cursor body. The forms of the speed indicators are small isosceles triangles. When the apexes face the scroll direction, they appeal to the sight of the user. When the number of the speed indicators is increased like one, two and three by adjusting it to scroll speed, for example, the user can intuitively and quantitatively grasp scroll speed.
