In the beginning, the OS generates a raw input string and a system h/w input queue in the csrss.exe process.
The raw input string consistently sends read solicitations to the keyboard driver, which remains in a waiting condition until an occasion from the keyboard appears [4].
When the user uses a key on the keyboard, the keyboard smaller scale controller perceives that a key has been used and sends both the output code of the used key to the PC and an interrupt request.
The keyboard framework controller gets the scan code, processes it at that point makes it available on input/yield port 60h and creates a central processor hardware interrupt.
The interrupt on controller flags the CPU to invoke the interrupt with handling method for IRQ1–ISR, which is already enlisted in the framework by the functional keyboard driver i8042prt.
The ISR peruses the information which has been received from the internal keyboard controller line, transforms the scan codes to virtual key codes and lines "I804KeyboardlsrDPC", a delayed procedure call.
Instantly as could reasonably the framework call the DPC which thus executes the callback technique Keyboard Class Service Callback registered by the class keyboard driver.
The Keyboard Class Service Callback method extricates a pending end request from the raw input string from its line and returns it with data about the key used Figure 2.
The he raw input string spares the data to the framework h/w input line and uses it to make the essential Windows keyboard messages WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP, which is put toward the finish of the VIQ virtual input line of the active string.
The message handling cycle string than eradicate the message from the line and sends the relating window system for preparing. Right when this happens, the framework work Translate Message might be called, which utilizes essential keyboard messages to make the extra "image" messages WM_CHAR, WM_SYSCHAR, WM_DEADCHAR, and WM_SYSDEADCHAR.
