A programmatic organisation method, or concept, for augmented use of a standardized
keyboard, capable of detecting depression/touching of single keys as well as simultaneously
depressed/touched combinations of keys. According to the invention, simultaneous
depression/touching of two or more adjacently or non-adjacently located keys of
said keyboard is decoded as a predetermined character, symbol, note, action etc.,
whereby the input capability of the keyboard is considerably enhanced. Advantageously
are predetermined functions, e.g. a "shift" ("CAP") or num lock function by predetermined
single keys or predetermined key combinations, i.e. the input capability can thus
be enhanced even further, each such function resulting in a new and independent
input capability The keyboard may advantageously be a conventional numerical 34 keyboard.
