JPS63313220A - Position information input device for data editing - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently execute the data editing by executing an input of position information by a touch panel. CONSTITUTION:A data editing use position information input device is constituted by providing touch panels 2a-2b for designating the positions in the (x) and (y) directions, respectively and a position information detecting part 3, on a position information input part 1 for inputting the editing position information, and providing a key input part 5 and a key data detecting part 6, on an editing data input part 4. In this state, position information (a) and an editing data (c) are inputted to a computer 7, respectively, and when the position information (a) is inputted, the computer concerned 7 executes such editing operations as write, addition, deletion, etc. of the data, based on the editing data (c) inputted after that time at its designated position.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a position information input device for data editing for a computer using a touch panel.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the input of positional information for data editing has been performed, for example, by combining movements of one line or one position using a plurality of cursor control keys arranged on a keyboard and capable of moving in four directions. In this method, the position of the cursor that indicates a predetermined position on the screen is pressed by a combination of the cursor control keys for the number of characters in rows and columns corresponding to the displacement from the current cursor position to the predetermined position where data is to be edited. That's what it was.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the conventional device described above, multiple cursor control keys must be pressed a number of times corresponding to the displacement of the cursor, so the cursor control keys must be operated many times, especially when the amount of cursor movement is large. However, the drawback was that data editing was inefficient.

For example, even if you set the amount of movement corresponding to each key in advance so that you can move the cursor across multiple rows or columns with a single keystroke, the amount of movement is fixed, so you cannot instruct any movement. ◇ [Means for solving the problem] The present invention allows specification of position information of edited data. It is provided with a position information input means that is input by touching the touch panel.

[For production]

According to the present invention, editing position information is directly specified by touching a touch panel using a position information input means, and is input into a computer.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a position information input unit for inputting editing position information, 2a and 2b are touch panels for specifying input position information by the position of contact in the x force direction and the position in the y direction, and 3 is a touch panel 2m, 2b. This is a position information detection unit that detects specified position data X, Y, performs a predetermined conversion, and outputs this as a position information column for editing rows and columns. Reference numeral 4 denotes an editing data input section for inputting editing data such as letters and numbers, 5 a key input section for specifying editing data using keys and outputting key data b, and 6 inputting key data b from the key input section 5. , a key data detection section which converts and outputs the corresponding edit data C, and 7 a computer which inputs the position information a and the edit data G and edits the data.

When the position information a is input, the computer 7 performs editing operations such as writing, adding, and deleting data at the specified position based on the editing data C that will be input from then on.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the external appearance of the swinging section of the same embodiment.

Keyboard 8 is xe 7 strip-shaped touch panel 2 in each direction
A, 2b and a key manpower section 5 are arranged.

According to this configuration, if the x and y directions can be specified using both hands, the editing position can be specified easily and in a short time.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, since the present invention inputs positional information using a touch panel, it is not necessary to press a key many times as in the past, making it easy to specify positional information, and data can be edited efficiently. be.
