Abstract

1315978 Digital computers; keyboard entry INFOREX Inc 9 Nov 1970 [12 Nov 1969] 53278/70 Headings G4A and G4C An input system for a digital computer comprises a plurality of independent keystations 18-20, each having a data keyboard for entering keystroke data, i.e. a data word indicating which key has been operated, and a control data processor 10 which controls transfer of the keystroke data to the computer. Up to eight stations 18, 19, 20 are connected in series to the control processor 10 which polls the stations, assembles and edits the data from the stations, and transfers the data to a digital computer via line 17 or magnetic tape unit 16. The control processor has a read only memory 11 holding program subroutines, a read/write magnetic core memory 12 having a first section for keystroke assembly under control of format control data held in a second section, a magnetic disc unit 13 for record pooling and less frequently used routines and also having two fixed tracks 15 holding format control data for the separate keystations which is swapped back and forth between the disc unit and memory 12. It is stated that by this continuous swapping, each station is effectively provided with its own independent format control data while sharing the subroutines in memory 11. An instruction counter can control whether the next instruction to be executed is fetched from the memory 11 or the memory 12. Each station comprises a keyboard and a cathode ray tube (CRT) which shows characters entered and has a moving cursor for visually indicating the operating position thereof. Operation.-Section 22 of processor 10 polls each station 60 times a second, the keystrokes are transferred to an associated individual section of memory 12 and the CRT simultaneously encabled, then the data from the assembly area is sequentially read on to the data channel in synchronism with the polling for display on the CRT. Variable length and branch instructions and arithmetical addition by table lock-up are also mentioned. If an entry error occurs, the appropriate assembly area in memory 12 is cleared and an error message displayed at the appropriate station. The disclosure is the same as that of the divided out Specification 1,315,979.
