Abstract

See full text

A method for managing, by device, a matrix of keys, including at least one line and at least two columns, each key making short circuiting a line and a column when pressed. The method includes a sweeping phase, including, for each line: writing a predetermined logic value in the line; and for each column, reading a logic value in the column and comparing the read logic value and the predetermined logic value. For each line processed: the writing step is carried out during a predetermined time interval. For each column, the reading step is carried out during a first portion of the time interval. The sweeping phase further includes, for each column, writing the predetermined logic value in the column during a second portion of the predetermined time interval. The predetermined time interval is equal to the sum of the durations of the first and second portions.
