Multi-media multi-lingual optical keyboard

Computers would eventually be human companion when human would be able to c onverse with the computers. The developmental efforts required for achievin g this goal were described in details in the concept. paper an MISONS techn ology [1]. This need for development elf multi-media multi-lingual optical computer keyboard, standardisation of IT products and establishment of glob al IT development and diffusion platform as the essential steps to be taken to achieve this goal are broadly discussed in this paper. An attempt is made in this paper to address issues that need the attentions of the frontier technology developers and the computer systems designers f or development of components for incorporation into the design of computers which can be used without any training or the help of anyone or the users' instructions manuals. The paper describes how MISNOS technology concept ba sed Multi-media Multi-lingual Optical Keyboard (MLOPKB) can be developed hy adopting firmware, LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), Object Oriented Informati on Engineering and Multi-media CAD software technologies in its design to a ccelerate development work on these types of computers. The paper explains the need for development of Optical Key Switch (OKS) having key-top made of single character display screen based on LCD technology. The design concept of MLOPKB is elaborated in this paper with the help of t wo levels of engineering schematic drawings. While the first level design s hows the architect's vision of MLOPKB layout, the second level describes it s logical design. These explain how integrated design methodologies can hel p in achieving the super power computing capabilities. Further, this design approach sets the emerging trends of Super Large Scale Integrated Circuits (SI,SICS). The paper also highlights the flexible desi gn concept of MLOPKB that permits its versatile applications ranging from s uper power computer system to computer tutor, process control keyboard and operator console, computer engineering panel, electronic cash register, etc .
