  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts and components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, these descriptions will not be repeated.

<System configuration>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of the configuration of the processing system according to the present embodiment. This processing system can be used, for example, as a monitoring control system for monitoring a plant or performing remote operation.

  1, the processing system includes a plurality of processing devices 500A, 500B,... 500N, and a plurality of input devices 300A, 300B,. A plurality of processing devices 500A, 500B,... 500N are represented as processing devices 500, and a plurality of input devices 300A, 300B,. The processing system further includes an input control device 100 for performing control of relaying the processing device 500 and the input device 300 and outputting an input signal from the input device 300 to the processing device 500.

  When this system is a monitoring control system, the processing device 500 corresponds to a terminal device for monitoring control of a facility to be monitored such as a plant or a terminal device for cooperative work. The processing device 500 may be a normal PC (personal computer) that includes or is connected to a display.

  The input device 300 corresponds to an input device for performing an operation input to a user interface for operation or control displayed on the display of the processing device 500 such as a keyboard and a mouse.

  The plurality of input devices 300A, 300B,... 300N have different input rules. As an example, when the input device 300 is a keyboard, the plurality of input devices 300A, 300B,... 300N correspond to a keyboard in which keys are arranged in English, Japanese, and specially arranged, respectively. Has validation rules. When the input device 300 is a mouse, the plurality of input devices 300A, 300B,..., 300N correspond to a mouse with a wheel, a mouse without a wheel, a trackball mouse, a touch pad, and the like, respectively. Has validation rules.

  Each input device 300 outputs an input signal according to an operator's operation. For example, when the input device 300 is a keyboard, each input device 300 outputs an input signal (also referred to as a scan code) indicating information (also referred to as a contact number) unique to the keystroke (key). The contact number is defined by the standard as physically defining its position regardless of the character or function of the keystroke. The scan code indicating the contact number is output as a MAKE code when the operation direction is pressed, and as a BRAKE code when the operation direction is released.

  The input control device 100 receives an input signal from the input device 300 and transmits it to the processing device 500.

  A program for specifying an operator's operation from an input signal from the input device 300 is installed in the memory of the processing device 500. When the input device 300 is a keyboard, the program is also called a keyboard driver. The processing device 500 executes the program to analyze the scan code, specify the keystroke and the operation direction, and specify the operation of the operator. Therefore, an input rule is set in advance for each of the plurality of processing apparatuses 500A, 500B,... 500N according to the installed program. As an example, when the input device 300 is a keyboard, each of the plurality of processing devices 500A, 500B,... 500N can process an input signal from a keyboard whose keys are arranged in English. That can process the input signal from a keyboard with a special arrangement are set in advance.

<Device configuration>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a specific example of the device configuration of the input control device 100. Referring to FIG. 2, input control apparatus 100 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10 for controlling the entire apparatus, and a ROM (Read Only Memory) that is a memory for storing a program executed by CPU 10 and the like. 11, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 12 that is a memory that stores a calculation value when the CPU 10 executes a program and serves as a work area, and an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 13 as an example of a large storage device And a first communication interface 14 for communicating with the input device 300 and a second communication interface 15 for communicating with the processing device 500.

<Overview of operation>
3 to 9 are diagrams for explaining an outline of operation in the processing system. As an example, as shown in FIG. 3, the input devices 300A and 300B are a keyboard in which keys are arranged in English (English keyboard) and a keyboard in which Japanese keys are arranged (Japanese keyboard), respectively. Assume that an English keyboard and a Japanese keyboard are set in 500A and 500B, respectively.

  In FIG. 3, an input signal from an input device 300A that is an English keyboard is input to a processing device 500A that is set to an English keyboard, and an input signal from the input device 300B that is a Japanese keyboard is set to a Japanese keyboard. It represents the case of being input to. In FIG. 4, an input signal from the input device 300A, which is an English keyboard, is input to the processing device 500B set with a Japanese keyboard, and an input signal from the input device 300B, which is a Japanese keyboard, is set to the English keyboard. It represents the case of being input to.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a specific example of a key layout of an English keyboard and a specific example of a contact number as an example of information uniquely indicating the position of each key. In FIG. 5, the text shown in the upper part of each key is a character imprinted on the key, and the text shown in the lower part represents a contact number.

  FIG. 6 shows a part of a character table for the English keyboard showing the relationship between the contact number assigned to each key and the character specified when the key is pressed. As shown in FIG. 6, in an English keyboard, a contact number is uniquely assigned to each key, and when the key is pressed when the shift key is pressed and when it is not pressed, A specified character is defined.

  When the keyboard driver is executed in the processing apparatus 500A in which the English keyboard is set, the character table of FIG. 6 is read. The processing device 500A can refer to the character table of FIG. 6 to analyze the input signal that is the scan code and identify the pressed key, and obtain a character corresponding to the operation of the operator.

  FIG. 7A is a diagram showing a specific example of the key layout of the Japanese keyboard, and FIG. 7B is a diagram showing a specific example of the contact number of each key of the Japanese keyboard. FIG. 8 shows a part of a character table for a Japanese keyboard showing the relationship between the contact number assigned to each key and the character specified when the key is pressed. As shown in FIG. 8, in the Japanese keyboard, each key is uniquely assigned a contact number, and when the key is pressed when the shift key is pressed and when it is not pressed, A character to be specified is defined for each of when the button is pressed in a pressed state and when the button is pressed when not pressed.

  In the case of the example of FIG. 3, the processing devices 500A and 500B can specify the keystrokes operated according to their own settings from the contact numbers indicated by the input signals from the input devices 300A and 300B, respectively. For example, when receiving a MAKE code indicating the contact number “35” of the “Y” key from the input device 300A, the processing device 500A can obtain the character “Y” by referring to the character table of FIG. When the processing device 500B receives the MAKE code indicating the contact number “33” of the “D” key from the input device 300B, the character “D” is displayed when the shift key is not in the depressed state by referring to the character table of FIG. Can be obtained.

  On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 4, the contact numbers indicated by the input signals from the input devices 300A and 300B do not follow the character tables stored in the processing devices 500A and 500B. There are cases where a character corresponding to the operation cannot be obtained. For example, when receiving a MAKE code indicating the contact number “33” of the “D” key from the input device 300B, which is a Japanese keyboard, the processing device 500A set in the English keyboard refers to the character table of FIG. It will be specified as “H”. When the processing device 500B set with the Japanese keyboard receives a MAKE code indicating the contact number “35” of the “Y” key from the input device 300A, which is an English keyboard, the character is referred to by referring to the character table of FIG. It will be specified as “G”.

  Therefore, in the processing system, the input control device 100 once receives an input signal from the input device 300, and based on the type of the input device 300 that is the transmission source of the input signal and the setting of the processing device 500 that is the transmission destination. Is output to the processing device 500. For this conversion, the input control device 100 stores a correspondence relationship between the input rule of the input device 300 and the input rule of the processing device 500 in a memory in advance, and refers to the correspondence relationship from the input device 300. The input signal is converted according to the input rule of the processing device 500.

  FIG. 9 is a correspondence table showing the correspondence between the Japanese keyboard and the English keyboard when the input device 300 is a keyboard as a specific example of the correspondence between the input rule of the input device 300 and the input rule of the processing device 500. It is the figure which showed the specific example. The input control apparatus 100 reads the necessary correspondence from the correspondence table by describing the correspondence for each input rule in the correspondence table as shown in FIG.

  In the case of the example of FIG. 4, the MAKE code indicating the contact number “33” of the “D” key output from the input device 300 </ b> B that is a Japanese keyboard is input to the input control device 100. The input control device 100 identifies the transmission source and transmission destination of the input signal. Then, the input control device 100 specifies that the input rule of the input device 300B as the transmission source is a rule according to the Japanese keyboard, and further, the input rule of the processing device 500A as the transmission destination is a rule according to the English keyboard. Identify that. In this case, the input control device 100 refers to the correspondence table of FIG. 9 and changes the contact number “33” indicated in the input signal to “D” on the English keyboard that is the input rule of the processing device 500A that is the transmission destination. It is converted to contact number “23” corresponding to the key. Then, the input control device 100 transmits a MAKE code indicating the contact number “23” to the processing device 500A. Thereby, processing device 500A can obtain character “D” based on the input signal.

  Similarly, the MAKE code indicating the contact number “35” of the “Y” key from the input device 300A, which is an English keyboard, refers to the correspondence table of FIG. In accordance with the set processing device 500B, the contact number “22” corresponding to the “Y” key on the Japanese keyboard is converted and input to the processing device 500B. Thereby, processing device 500B can obtain character “Y” based on the input signal.

<Functional configuration>

However, at least a part of the functions may be realized by other configurations shown in FIG. 2 or other hardware configurations such as an electric circuit not shown.

  Referring to FIG. 10, ROM 11 as an example of the memory of input control apparatus 100 includes a correspondence table storage unit 111 that is a storage area for storing a correspondence table as shown in FIG. 9.

  Further, referring to FIG. 10, the CPU 10 of the input control device 100 analyzes the input signal by receiving the input signal from the input device 300 via the first communication interface 14, and the transmission source thereof. The device specifying unit 102 for specifying the input device 300 that is the transmission destination and the processing device 500 that is the transmission destination, and the correspondence relationship between the input rule of the transmission source input device 300 and the input rule of the transmission destination processing device 500 are used. A conversion unit 103 for converting the input signal and a transmission unit 104 for transmitting the input signal converted by the conversion unit 103 to the processing apparatus 500 of the transmission destination via the second communication interface 15. .

  The conversion unit 103 includes an instruction specifying unit 105 for specifying the content of the operator's operation indicated by the input signal based on the input rules of the transmission source input device 300, and a destination processing device according to the content of the operation. And a reading unit 106 for reading an input signal based on 500 input rules from the correspondence table. In the case of the example of FIG. 4, the instruction specifying unit 105 specifies the character “D” as the content of the operator's operation from the contact number “33” indicated in the input signal from the input device 300 </ b> B that is a Japanese keyboard. The reading unit 106 reads the contact number “23” corresponding to the “D” key in the English keyboard that is the input rule of the processing apparatus 500A as the transmission destination from the correspondence table of FIG. When the input device 300 is a keyboard, the conversion unit 103 indicates a contact number indicating the pressed position, and indicates a position based on a keyboard character arrangement defined for the character processing device 500 corresponding to the pressed position. Convert to number.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the plurality of processing devices 500A, 500B,... 500N are connected to the input control device 100, the device specifying unit 102 has a plurality of processing devices 500A, 500B,. The processing device 500 as a transmission destination is specified from among 500N. The input signal includes information for specifying the input device 300 that is the transmission source and information for specifying the processing device 500 that is the transmission destination. The device specifying unit 102 analyzes the input signal to read out this information and input the input device. 300 and the processing apparatus 500 may be specified. Alternatively, information specifying the processing device 500 as a transmission destination may be transmitted from the input device 300 to the input control device 100 separately from the input signal, or set in the input control device 100 prior to the input signal, etc. The transmission destination of the input signal from the input device 300 may be set in advance.

<Operation flow>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a specific example of the flow of operations in the input control apparatus 100. The operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. 11 is realized by the CPU 10 of the input control apparatus 100 reading out a program stored in the ROM 11 onto the RAM 12 and executing it, thereby exhibiting the functions of FIG. FIG. 11 shows a case where the input device 300 is a keyboard as an example.

  Referring to FIG. 11, when starting the process, CPU 10 executes an initialization process (step S101). The initialization process in step S101 includes a process of initializing a storage area for storing a pressed state of a key having a function such as a shift key or a kana key, or a pressed state of each key corresponding to a character, which will be described later.

  When an input signal is received from the input device 300 via the first communication interface 14 after the initialization process in step S101 (YES in step S103), the CPU 10 analyzes the input signal and identifies the input device 300 that is the transmission source. (Step S105). Further, the CPU 10 analyzes the input signal and specifies the contact number and the operation direction (step S107).

  If the input signal is a shift key whose contact number indicates a shift key and the operation direction is MAKE, that is, an input signal indicating that the shift key has been pressed (YES in step S109, and in step S111) (YES), it is assumed that the CPU 10 is in the pressed state of the shift key (step S113). When the input signal is a shift key whose contact number indicates a shift key and the operation direction is BRAKE, that is, an input signal indicating that the pressed shift key is released (YES in step S109) Further, it is assumed that the CPU 10 is in a state where the shift key is not pressed (NO in step S111) (step S115). The CPU 10 stores the pressed state of the shift key in a predetermined area of the memory. Also in the case of an input signal indicating operation of a key having a kana key or other functions, the CPU 10 performs the same operation as in steps S111 to S115, and stores the pressed state in a predetermined area of the memory.

  When the input signal does not indicate an operation of a key having a function such as a shift key, and the operation direction is MAKE, that is, the operation direction is pressing (NO in step S109 and YES in step S117). The CPU 10 confirms the pressed state of a key having a function such as the current shift key, and specifies a character in accordance with the input rule of the input device 300 of the transmission source (step S119).

  The CPU 10 analyzes the input signal and specifies the processing device 500 that is the transmission destination (step S121). This process may be performed when the input device 300 is specified in step S105.

  CPU 10 performs processing for converting the input signal based on the correspondence between the input rule of input device 300 and the input rule of processing device 500 (step S123). In step S123, the CPU 10 specifies a character from the contact number indicated by the input signal based on the input rules of the input device 300. The CPU 10 refers to the correspondence table and identifies the contact number corresponding to the character in the input rules of the processing device 500. Then, the CPU 10 converts (rewrites) the inputted input signal into an input signal indicating the specified contact number.

  CPU10 transmits the input signal converted by step S123 with respect to the processing apparatus 500 which is a transmission destination (step S125).

The CPU 10 repeats the above operation.
