Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information input device, and particularly to an information input device suitable for inputting data such as characters or several pieces of data.

Contents of Disclosure J This specification and drawings are particularly intended for information input devices suitable for inputting data such as characters, numbers ([, etc.). One data output means for outputting data, n data storage means for sequentially storing the same data as the data stored in the register by inputting the predetermined key, and corresponding to the n data storage means. By providing a data reproducing means for reading out data stored in the corresponding data storage means into the register by inputting any one of the n call keys provided, the plurality of data that have already been input can be effectively used. , discloses a technology for an information input device that improves the efficiency of data input work.

[Prior Art J] Since data input work is indispensable for information processing, improving the efficiency of input work has been one of the important issues. Especially now that data input terminal devices have become widespread, the effect of improving work efficiency can be said to be remarkable. Now, what you will notice when manually inputting data using this type of device is that in reality, input data does not always change, and that input data that is the same as the previous or previous input data may be input. This means that there are many cases where it is repeated. However, conventional devices of this type do not take this point into consideration, and the user has to input data from the beginning even if the data is the same.

L Problems to be Solved by the Invention j The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and solves the disadvantage that data that has already been input cannot be reused. This is what I am trying to do.

1] Means for solving the problem data output means for outputting data stored in the line register 11 to a host computer (not shown), and n storage registers that sequentially store the same data as the data stored in the line register 11 by inputting the predetermined key. 12 (1-n) and the call key 5 (R1-n in FIG. 2) of n (ii) provided corresponding to the n storage registers 12.
The line register 11 is provided with data reproducing means for reading data stored in the corresponding data storage means into the line register 11 in response to an input of any one of Rn).

1. With this configuration, by saving the preceding n input data regardless of whether or not it can be reused, it can be reused at any time and at random, thereby improving data input work efficiency. An information input device is provided.

E Embodiment j Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic front view of the key input terminal device of the embodiment.
In the figure, l is the main body of the device, 2 is the display that displays one line of input data, 3 is the keyboard for data input, and 4 is the 2 key that determines the delimiter of data input, which can be replaced with the normal line feed key. This is because in this type of device, the line feed key is often used for the purpose of determining the delimitation of input data. 5 is a group of repeat keys R1 to R that randomly selects and calls stored data.
n, 18 is an LED lamp indicating the selected storage register;
Reference numeral 6 represents a mode key that determines whether or not data can be saved, and 17 represents an LED lamp that informs the operator of the status of whether or not data can be saved. Here, each time the mode key 6 is pressed, the state is toggled between storable and non-storable, and in the storable state, L
ED17 lights up.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the key manpower device of FIG. 2. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 2 are given the same numbers and their explanations are omitted. In FIG. A ROM stores procedures, and the CPU operates according to the contents to perform key manual processing. 9 is a RAM that stores key manual data, etc., and IO transfers key manual data to a host computer computer (not shown). It is a serial interface.

Further, block 9 shows each ms capability realized on the RAM. Reference numeral 11 denotes a line register that stores and holds one line of key manual data, and the contents of the register 11 are always sent to the display unit 2 via the line 100 and displayed. Also, when the enter key 4 is pressed, the line register 11
The contents of are sent to serial interface 10 via line 103. This is to send data to the host computer. 12 stores the same contents as the line register 11 in order by inputting the enter key 4 n (II
This is a storage register. However, in order to save the same content, set the mode flag (MF) by operating mode key 6.
14 is turned ON. Reference numeral 13 designates a storage address for selecting one of the storage registers 12, which is updated by a +1 signal generated manually from the EN key 4 on the condition that the mode flag (MF) 14 is turned ON. Further, when any one of the repeat keys R1 to Rn is pressed, the value is set to that value by the repeat lwn signal. 14 is a storage pointer that holds a character address to be stored in the selected storage register.

A line pointer 15 holds a character address to be stored in the line register 11, and is updated with a +1 @ sign each time key manual data is stored.

FIG. 3 is a 70-chart showing the key manual processing procedure of the embodiment. In step S1, a strong key force is waited for. If there is a key force, the process proceeds to step S2, and it is checked whether or not the enter key 4 has been input. If the normal data key is manually operated, the determination in steps S2 to S4 is not satisfied and the process proceeds to step S5.
In step S5, it is checked whether the mode flag MF is ON. If it is ON, the process advances to step S5, where the key manual data is stored in the currently selected storage register 12, and the contents of the storage pointer 14 are incremented by 1. Also, if it is not ON, it will not be saved in the save register. Therefore, by setting the mode flag MF to 0N10FF in modes 4 to 6, only useful data can be extracted. In step S7, the key manual data is stored in the line register 11, and the contents of the line pointer 15 are incremented by 1.

If the data key is not manually operated, perform the corresponding processing.
That is, when it is determined in step S2 that the enter key is manually pressed, the process proceeds to step S8, and it is checked whether the mode flag MF is ON or OFF. When it is ON, it indicates that storage is possible, the selection is updated by adding 1 to the storage address 13, and the storage pointer 14 is
Clear. Further, when it is not ON, it indicates that storage is not possible and the storage address is not updated. Therefore, it is possible to separate the human input of the enter key from storage, which is convenient for use. That is, the operator saves only useful data, and the useful data can be collected over M number of enter keys. In step SlO, the contents of the line register 11 are sent to the serial interface 10 to input the data to the host computer, and after sending, the line pointer 15 is
Clear.

When it is determined in step S3 that the repeat keys R1 to Rn are manually operated, the process proceeds to step S12, and the contents of the corresponding storage register i among the storage registers l-n are transferred to the line register 11 via the line 102.

When it is determined in step S4 that the mode key is manually operated, the process proceeds to step Sll, where the mode flag MF is inverted.

Although the unimplemented example describes the case where the mode key 6 and the mode flag MF are provided, this key and the above-mentioned functions based on the key may not be provided.In this way, for each input key input, the immediately preceding key input data is displayed. is stored unconditionally, so no special operations are required, and it is useful because n pieces of data in one row can be randomly reused.

Effect J As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of preceding input data are automatically saved without any special operation, and when necessary, any input data can be played back at random. This greatly improves the efficiency of input work.
