Computer communication interface 52 can only transmit " touch switch sign indicating number " in addition, such as (10,20), because when having detected 30 insertions of communication card for the first time, can transmit earlier this moment to link up and block sign indicating number 31, or directly will link up card by the user and number input.Unless change, so do not need each the transmission to link up card sign indicating number 31 so link up card sign indicating number 31.In addition also can be by " on off state " of the memory of the computer program in the computer 90 each touch switch 572 last time, such as candle control last time switch 572 (10,20) be OFF, when computer program is received the signal of touch switch 572 (10,20), know that " on off state " changes ON into.Owing to burn in the processor 55 program is arranged, so can be easily to carry out the control of treatment scheme.
Certainly, the form of list 99 can have other variations, and defining one separately such as each position on the communication card 30 can instruct, but not with position range [(X
1, Y
1), (X
2, Y
2)] define, but because the non-sight of computer program main body of the present invention, so be not described in detail in this.
For make the treatment scheme that changes processor 55 internal programs in the future, or in response to the program of different computer 90, preferably some controlled variable are stored in the storer 51, this controlled variable also can be linked up interfaces 52 changes through computers by computer 90, this kind storer 51 can adopt as EPROM, FLASH MEMORY, EEPROM etc.
