Abstract

In an information processing apparatus with an input device in the form of a keyboard, a multiplicity of switches associated with input keys on the keyboard are disposed in independent submatrices. When three or more keys in each submatrix are operated simultaneously, key input detection is stopped. The number of switches which are turned on in each scanning is registered and when the number is two at the most, addresses representative of the switches which are turned on are delivered out for inputting information. Key input at high speeds can be permitted and erroneous input can be prevented.
