Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Technical Field The present invention relates to a display method for an information processing device equipped with a multi-item input device such as a book type keyboard or a sliding type keyboard, and is particularly suitable for use in medical institutions such as hospitals. The present invention relates to a display method for an information processing device suitable for use as a computer. (B) Background Art In general, a book-type keyboard 1 has a plurality of item keys 2 and a plurality of function keys 3, as shown in FIG. A mechanical code consisting of a page code indicating the page and an X and Y address code indicating the position of the pressed item key is generated as a key code. Conventionally, on each page of Book 4, as shown in Figure 2 A and B, item names such as medical treatment items or drug names are written one-to-one for each item key, and the operator can While looking at the patient's name, he searched for the medical treatment item or drug name to be entered, and then pressed the corresponding item key. In the conventional information processing device shown in FIG. 1, when a key is pressed and a key code is generated, the input code processing section 5 separates the key codes of the item key and function key, and the key code from the item key is , are once stored in the input register 6, and then transferred as they are to the host computer 9 of the host side 8 via the data control unit 7. The host computer 9 reads the character code or dot pattern indicating the medical treatment item or drug name corresponding to the input key code from the disk 10 and displays it on the display device 11 on the terminal device side.
was sent to. The character code is converted into a dot pattern on the display device 11, and the item name such as the medical treatment item or drug name corresponding to the pressed item key is displayed on the CRT 12. That is, as shown in Figure 3 A, if you open the first page of the book and press item key ○a, "First Examination" will appear on the CRT screen, and if you press item key ○a, "X-Rays" will appear on the CRT screen. ” began to be displayed immediately. Similarly, if you open the third page and press the item key ○a, the message "Alinamin 5mg" will immediately appear on the CRT screen. In addition, the sliding keyboard uses a cartridge instead of a book as the item file in which items are recorded, and pages can be automatically selected by key operation.Book is used as a file code to indicate the type of item file. It differs from a book keyboard in that it outputs a cartridge code instead of a code, but similarly generates a page code and X and Y address codes. Also in the information processing apparatus using this sliding keyboard, the display method was the same as above. As described above, in the information processing apparatus using the conventional multi-item input device, only the item name of the item input by pressing the item key is displayed on the display device. Therefore, when correcting an incorrect entry, it is impossible to know the page position and item key position of the item to be corrected just by looking at the displayed item name. The drawback was that I had to search for items to correct. (C) Purpose The present invention allows the operator to display information about input items, including item names such as drug names or medical treatment items, as well as the location and number of times the item key was pressed, and the page that was open when the item key was pressed. The present invention provides a new display method for an information processing device that allows erroneous input to be easily corrected by displaying item codes that can be determined. (D) Embodiment FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an information processing apparatus equipped with a book-type keyboard as an embodiment of the present invention.The book-type keyboard 13 has a plurality of Equipped with an item key and a function key, when pressing the item key, the key code is book code, page code,
and a Y address code. Also, Figure 4 shows the book type keyboard 1.
This is an example showing the page contents of the book 14 that is attached to the book 3. In this embodiment, a plurality of item names are written for one item key. For example, for the same drug "Alinamin", drug names "Alinamin 5mg", "Alinamin 25mg", and "Alinamin 50mg" that differ only in the amount are all entered as item names for one item key ○a. put. By the way, in FIG. 5, 15 is an input code processing unit that separates key codes of item keys and function keys, 16 is an input register that stores mechanical codes, and 17 is a first and second conversion register 18 and 19 and a conversion control section 20, an input code conversion section that converts the mechanical code from the input register 16 into another code to be described later; 21 is a first register that stores the code from the input code conversion section 17 ; and 22 After the TAB key 23, which is the code conversion instruction key, is pressed among the function keys of the book-type keyboard 13,
A second register stores the code first input into the first register 21; 24 is a counter that counts the number of times the same item key is pressed while the same page of the attached book is open; and 25 is a counter Comparison unit 26 which is a data control unit and compares the contents of the first and second registers 21 and 22
, a register control section 27 that controls the contents of both registers 21 and 22, a counter control section 28 that increments the contents of the counter 24 when a match is detected in the comparison section 26, and a counter control section 28 that increments the contents of the counter 24 according to the contents of the counter 24. The host computer 31 or display includes a code converter 29 that converts the code stored in the second register 22 into different codes corresponding to the pressed item key and the number of times the key is pressed, and a first screen RAM 30. It is composed of a data transfer control section 33 that controls data transfer with the device 32. Further, 34 in the display device 32 is a data control section 3.
3 or the second screen RAM that stores character codes transferred from the host computer 31;
The same data is stored in the screen RAM 30 and the second screen RAM 34, and the contents are displayed on the CRT 35. Furthermore, 36 is a disk in which character codes indicating medical treatment items or drug names are stored in correspondence with the codes input to the host computer 31;
Reference numeral 37 denotes a patient file as a storage device for storing the medical results of each patient. Therefore, first, the input code conversion section 17 will be explained in detail. In the book type keyboard 13, the book code always changes if the book is different, but there are cases where it is desired to make the same medical treatment item or drug name correspond to the item key even in different books. That is, for example, when the contents of the first page of Book 1 and the first page of Book 2 are made to be exactly the same. In this case, since different book codes are generated for Book 1 and Book 2, two different mechanical codes are generated for the same medical treatment item, for example, "first visit", making it difficult to perform various processes. Therefore, the input code conversion section 17 is provided with a first conversion register 18 so that one code always corresponds to the same medical treatment item or drug name. As shown in FIG.
81, 182...190, 191..., and these areas have the same absolute page code when the page contents are the same, and different absolute page codes when the page contents are not the same. It is written. That is, when the first page and second page of Book 1 and Book 2 have exactly the same content, but the other pages have different content, as shown in FIG. 6, areas 181 and 190
Absolute page codes "01" and "02" are written in areas 182 and 191, respectively, and different absolute page codes are written in other areas. Therefore, the input book code and page code are converted into absolute page codes by the first conversion register 18. For example, when Book 1 is attached and the first and third pages are opened, the book code and page code are "01", "01", and "01" respectively.
"03" is generated, but these are converted to absolute page codes "01" and "03". Similarly, when Book 2 is attached and the first, second, and third pages are opened, the book code and page code will be "02", "01", "02", "02", " 02” “03”
”
occurs, but these are absolute page codes "01",
Converted to "02" and "10". The second conversion register 19 is a conversion register for converting the X and Y address codes, which are mechanical codes, into keytop data indicating characters or symbols written on the keytop of the item key. X and Y address codes “01” and “01” when pressing item key ○a in the figure
is converted to "Aa", and similarly, the X and Y address code when pressing the item key ○A is "02".
"01" is converted to "Ai". However, in this embodiment, if the characters written on the key top are hiragana, the character on the key top, for example, "A" is not displayed as is, but the first capital letter "A" is changed to a lower case letter "a". Change it to “aa”
I am trying to display this. Here, adding the alpha alphabet "A" or "a" in front of the character "A" written on the key top or the katakana "a" that has the same pronunciation as the character "a" written on the key top is the item key. This is not to make it possible to determine whether or not the characters written on the key top of the item are hiragana, but to show the number of times the item key has been pressed, as will be described later. The input code converter 17 is configured as described above. Therefore, if you open the first page of Book 1 and press the item key ○a, the input code converter 17 will output the code "01AA". , and if you press item key ○a, the code "01aa" will be output. Similarly, if you open the third page of Book 1 and press the item keys ○A and ○I, the codes ``03Aa'' and ``03Ai'' will be output, respectively. of course,
No matter how many times the same item key is pressed with the same page open, the same code will be generated as the output of the input code converter 17 . For example, no matter how many times you press the item key ○a or ○i when you open the third page of book 1, it will return "03Aa" or "03Ai" respectively.
The code will be output. Note that in the output code of the input code converter 17 , the first numerical data, for example, an absolute page code such as "03" or "01", does not necessarily indicate the page number of the opened page itself, but it is The absolute page code is data determined corresponding to each page in step 18, and therefore, the absolute page code is page information indicating the page that is open when the key is pressed. In addition, the last character or symbol of the code is not the character written on the key top in the case of hiragana, but it is a katakana with the same pronunciation, so it is the key top that indicates the character or symbol written on the key top of the item key. It is information. Next, the configuration and display method of the first and second screen RAMs 30 and 34 will be outlined. The first screen RAM 30 includes a first storage section 30a that stores codes input from the register control section 27 and the code conversion section 29, and a host computer 31.
The second storage unit 30b stores a character code indicating the medical treatment item or drug name corresponding to this code from the second storage unit 30b. The data transfer control unit 33 writes the same contents as the contents written in the first screen RAM 30 to the second screen RAM 34. Therefore, the second screen RAM 34 also has a second screen RAM 34 which stores the code corresponding to the item key. 1 storage section 34a and a second storage section 34b that stores character codes indicating medical treatment items or drug names. The display device 32 converts the contents of the second screen RAM 34 into a dot pattern and displays it on the CRT 35. Therefore, on the screen of the CRT 35, as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, the code corresponding to the item key transferred from the code converter 29 is displayed in the code display area 38 at the bottom of the screen, and the medical treatment item or drug name corresponding to this code is displayed in the character display area 39 at the top of the screen.
is displayed. In addition, the cursor in the code display area 38 is initially set at the beginning position,
The code from the register control section 27 or code conversion section 29 is input to the position indicated by this cursor. Then, when the TAB key 23 is pressed, the data transfer control unit 33 transfers the code at the position indicated by the cursor to the host computer 31, and moves the cursor to the position where the next code is to be input. Next, the functions of the data control section 25 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Note that in the initial state, the contents of the second register 22 and the counter 24 are cleared. Therefore, if you open the first page of book 1 and press the item key ○a corresponding to the medical treatment item "first visit", the book-style keyboard 13 will print out the mechanical codes "01", "01", "01", " 01” occurs,
The input code converter 17 converts it to “01Aa”,
The data is input to the data control section 25 . This code “01Aa” is then stored in the first register 21. The register control unit 27 determines whether or not the second register 22 is cleared. In this case, since it is cleared in the initial state, the code "01Aa" stored in the first register 21 is transferred to the second register 22.
The code "01A" of the first register 21 is written to the first memory section 30a of the first screen RAM 30 at the top position indicated by the cursor. Then, the data transfer control unit 33 displays the second screen.
Since the same code "01Aa" is written in the same position in the first storage section 34a of the RAM 34, the code "01Aa" is displayed on the screen of the CRT 35 at the leading position indicated by the cursor in the code display area 38. Here, when the TAB key 23 is pressed, the register control section 27 clears the contents of the second register 22 and the counter 24, and the data transfer control section 33 sends the code "01A' on the host computer 31
Transfer to. The host computer 31 searches the data, reads the character code indicating the medical treatment item corresponding to the transferred code "01Aa", and writes this character code at the beginning position of the second storage section 30b of the first screen RAM 30. This character code is stored in the second storage section 34 of the second screen RAM 34 of the display device 32.
b is also written, and as shown in FIG. The cursor then moves to the position where the next code should be entered. Hereafter, in the same way, press the item key ○A on the first page and the item key ○I on the third page to
As shown in Figure B, the codes “01aA” and “03A
Suppose that the medical treatment item ``X-ray'' and the drug name ``Apresolin 10mg'' are displayed. Then, when you open the third page shown in FIG. 4 and press the item key ○a, the input code converter 17
The code “03Aa” is output, and this is the first
Stored in register 21. Since the TAB key 23 is pressed immediately before item key ○a is pressed, that is, after item key ○a is pressed,
The second register 22 is cleared and therefore
The code “03A” stored in the first register 21
"A" is written in the second register 22, and the code "03AA" in the first register 21 is displayed at the cursor position in the code display area 38 on the CRT 35 screen. Here, if you press the TAB key 23, the same action as above will be made to release the drug name "Alinamin 10mg".
is displayed, but next time, suppose you press the item key ○a again. Then, the input code conversion unit 17 similarly outputs the code "03AA", and this code is stored in the first register 21, but the second
Since the register 22 has not been cleared, the comparator 26 compares the contents of the first and second registers 21 and 22. In this case, both registers 21 and 2
Since the code "03Aa" is stored in both counters 2 and 2, the comparison unit 26 detects a match and the counter 2
The contents of 4 are incremented by the counter control unit 28 and become ``1''. When the comparison unit 26 detects a match, the code conversion unit 29 inputs the contents of the second register 22 and the counter 24, and converts the code “03Aa” of the second register 22 into a code corresponding to the content “1” of the counter 24. Convert to In other words, the counter content "1" is added to the keystroke count data "A" of the code "03AA" to obtain "B", and the code "03AA" is changed to "03B".
Convert "A". In addition, "A" in the JIS code
Adding “1” to “B” results in +1
Then, it changes sequentially from B→C→D→... In this way, the code converter 29 converts the code into a code corresponding to the number of times the item key is pressed. And this code "03Ba" is 1st screen RAM30
and is written to the second screen RAM 34, and “03BA” is written in place of “03AA” at the cursor position on the CRT screen.
is displayed. In this state, if you press the TAB key 23, the code "03B-A" at the position indicated by the cursor will be transferred to the host computer 31.
The corresponding drug name "Alinamin 25mg" is displayed on the CRT screen, but at this point the operator accidentally
Suppose that you press another item key, for example, item key ○a. Then, the first register 2
1, the code "03Ai" is input and stored, but since the code "03Ba" is stored in the second register 22, the comparator 26 detects a mismatch. In this case, the code conversion section 29, counter control section 28, and register control section 27 do not perform any processing and ignore the input of the code "03Ai". That is, the display of the cursor position in the code display area 38 of the CRT 35 remains unchanged as "03BA", and if you press the TAB key 23 in this state, the same as described above will be displayed.
“Alinamin 25 mg” is displayed after “Apresolin 10 mg” in the character display area 39. Also, after pressing the item key ○a twice, press TAB
If you press the item key ○a again without pressing the key 23, the code “03A” will be stored in the first register 21 as well.
Since the code “03AA” is stored in the second register 22, the comparison unit 26
Then, a match is detected, and the contents of the counter 24 are further incremented by 1 to become "2". In the code conversion section, the key press count data "A" of "03A A" and the counter 2
The content “2” of 4 is added, and the item key ○a becomes 3.
The code "03C a" indicating that the key has been pressed twice is output, written to the first and second screen RAMs 30 and 34, and replaced by "03B a" at the cursor position of the code display area 38 on the screen of the CRT 35. ,
This code “03Ca” will be displayed. Then, if you press TAB key 23, the code “03C
A' is transferred to the host computer 31,
In the character display area 39 of the CRT screen, after "Apresolin 10 mg", the drug name "Alinamin 50 mg" corresponding to the third press of the item key ○a is displayed. As described above, in the information processing device of this embodiment, a code is assigned to each item key when the same page is open, not only corresponding to the pressed item key but also corresponding to the number of times the key is pressed. and when pressing the item key,
This code is displayed in the code display area 38 at the bottom of the CRT screen. Furthermore, if the operator presses the item key the number of times corresponding to the medical item or drug name to be entered, and after the code is confirmed, presses the TAB key 23, the code is transferred to the host computer 31 and displayed at the top of the CRT screen. In the character display area 39, the medical treatment item or drug name corresponding to the transferred data is displayed. The operator can know the number of times an item key is pressed by looking at the data on the number of times the code is pressed displayed on the CRT screen. Next, correction of incorrect input will be explained. For example, in Figure 4, after displaying the code ``03Ca'' and the drug name ``Alinamine 50mg,'' the operator notices that ``Apresolin 10mg'' is an incorrect input and wants to correct it to ``Apresolin 20mg.'' . In this case, the item code displayed in the code display area 38 on the CRT screen is
It includes page information that shows the page that is open when the key is pressed, and keytop information that shows the characters or symbols written on the keytop of the pressed item key, so the operator can correct the drug name "Apresolin 10mg". Code “03A”
If you look at "A", you can easily see that the drug name related to "Apresolin" is written under the item key ○A on the third page. Therefore,
Operate the cursor key 40 of the book-type keyboard 13 to move the cursor to the position of the code "03A" to be corrected, open the third page, press the item key ○" twice, and the code "03A" is pressed. 03Ai” has been corrected to the correct code “03Bi”,
The display of "03Ai" is also corrected to "03Bi".
After that, by pressing the TAB key 23, the correct drug name "Apresolin 20mg" corresponding to the code "03B" will be displayed. By the way, the book type keyboard 13 shown in FIG. All codes written in are transferred to the host computer 31. The host computer 31 stores the transferred code as it is or converts it into another code on a one-to-one basis in the patient file 37, and also corresponds to the second storage units 30b and 34b of the first and second screen RAMs 30 and 34. Write all character codes. Then, in the character display area 39 of the CRT screen, all medical treatment items or drug names are displayed again in the same order as the displayed codes. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the display device 32
The first screen to write the same contents as the second screen RAM34 of
Although the screen RAM 30 is also provided in the data transfer control unit 33, the first screen RAM 30 is not necessarily necessary if the contents of the second screen RAM 34 can be read out. (e) Effects According to the present invention, when correcting incorrect input, the information can be displayed without having to search for the drug name or medical treatment item to be corrected while looking at the item name entered on each page of the item file as in the past. By looking at the item code, the operator can easily determine the page position, the position of the pressed item key, and the number of times the key has been pressed, thus making correction work easier.
