  • Patent number: 4086588
    Abstract: A signal generator generates different input signals when the keys are depressed. The signal generator comprises an input signal generating circuit and a double-key-depression detecting circuit. The input signal generating circuit includes a shift register having a plurality of shift stages and the associated output lines, signal lines for transmitting signals which may be sequentially derived from the output lines of the shift stages, and a discriminator for discriminating through which signalline is transmitted the signal.Each output of the shift stages of the shift register provides one information representative of a depressed key. Output of the discriminator provides another information representative of a depressed key. The input signal is identified by the combination of two kinds of the information.
