Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously input data in rows by providing a discrimination step where the classification of a depressed input key is discriminated and a processing step where already inputted data, which have the character corresponding to the just preceding input key as the first character, are displayed in the order from the latest one. CONSTITUTION:The discrimination step where the classification of a depressed input key is discriminated and the processing step are provided. The processing step performs a preliminarily determined processing to display already inputted data having the character corresponding to the just preceding input key as the first character in the order from latest one at the time of depression of a preliminarily determined input key. At least the first character of data to be inputted is inputted and the preliminarily determined input key is next depressed to set the retrieval mode, and already inputted data having this inputted character as the first character are displayed in the order from latest one. When data to be inputted is displayed, data is continuously inputted in rows by the input operation.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a data input method, and in particular to simplifying data input using input input data when inputting data that is partially the same as the input input data. Regarding data input methods.

[Prior Art J] Conventionally, this type of data input method includes a command selection input method as shown in FIG. In this method,
After the data input state shown in FIG. 5(a), when inputting the data "ABcDEF" which is the same as the data of the existing force, the first step is performed.

First, input the search command "!" and the search target character rAJ shown in FIG. 5(b), and press the line feed key.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5(c), a list of data starting with the search character rAJ is displayed from among the existing data. Here, by selecting the target character string rABCDEFJ, the state shown in FIG. 5(d) is obtained.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] This command selection input method is effective when the input data is a series of execution command statements.

However, in order to display all candidates for one display data on the screen, it is not possible to input six consecutive lines of data.

Therefore, it cannot be used in software such as editing programs for language development.

[Means for Solving the Three Problems] The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems. After manually inputting a data string consisting of a plurality of characters, it is possible to create a data string that is at least partially the same as the input data. In a data input method that performs manual data input using the inputted data in order to input desired data, a determination step for determining the type of input key that has been pressed, and a determination step in which the input key that has been pressed is predetermined. input key.

The present invention is characterized in that it includes a processing step of performing predetermined processing for displaying inputted data starting with a character corresponding to the input key pressed immediately before the inputted data in the order of newest input.

The processing step includes a step of searching inputted data starting with a character corresponding to an input key pressed one time before the pressing of the predetermined input key, in order of newest input, and searching in the search step. and displaying the entered data.

“The processing step also includes erasing the displayed input data when the predetermined input key is pressed while the searched input data is being displayed, and erasing the displayed input data and including the step of retrieving data.

[Operation] In the data input method of the present invention, after inputting at least the first character of the data to be input, a predetermined input key is pressed to enter the search mode, and inputted data having the first character are manually sorted in chronological order. indicate.

[Example] The present invention will be explained using figures.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are flowcharts showing the operation of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing the display screen when inputting the same data as already input data according to this embodiment. Give an example.

In this embodiment, input data from one line feed key to the next line feed key is stored as one unit. When the call key is pressed as a predetermined input key, the latest input data is displayed. If the call key is pressed consecutively.

The memorized input data is displayed sequentially.

Furthermore, when inputting keys manually, if the input key is a character key, the input key is stored as a search key.

When the call key is pressed after pressing the character key manually, low input data is searched based on the search key and the input data that matches one is displayed.

In this embodiment, from the state shown in FIG. 3(a).

2 characters "ABCD" in the line where the cursor is currently displayed
In the case of inputting EFJ, the first step is performed.

First, as shown in Figure 3(b), the first character r of the target character string is
Input AJ (steps 10-11).

Since Hitokaki is rAJ, it is determined as a one-character key (step 12), and rAJ becomes the search character (step 14).
).

Next, when the call key is pressed, it is determined that it is a call key (step 12), and the process proceeds to call key processing (step 21) as a predetermined process. In the call key processing, as shown in FIG.
). Since there are search characters, search target areas are referenced for the number of search characters (steps 28 to 29). Then the search character r
It is determined whether AJ matches the first character of the latest low-input data in the search target area (step 30). In this case, there is a match, so the cursor and the search target string "AD"
FRJ is displayed (Figure 3(C), steps 34-3
8).

In this case, the target character string is not rADFRJ, so the call key is pressed again. In this case, after deleting the previous candidate, a comparison with the character string in the next search target area is performed (steps 22-23, 25-28). In the case of one character string in the next search target area, “ΔΔΔ5
Because it's SSJ.

The first character does not match the search string rAJ, and a search for the primary string is performed (steps 29 to 32 are repeated).

String rABc whose first character matches the search string rAJ
When DEFJ is found, one character string "ABCDEFJ" is displayed (FIG. 3(d), steps 34-38).

If there is no string whose first character matches the search character rAJ after ADFRJ, the search is performed to the end of the search target string, the cursor is displayed, and the search ends (steps 30 to 33). .

Finally, press the new line key to create one character string rABCDEFJ
The input of is completed, and the nine character string rABCDEFJ becomes the low input data to be searched (steps 15 to 20).

9 Next, in this embodiment, a case will be explained in which the data in FIG. 4(d) is input from the state in FIG. 4(a) by using the same input data as the low input data as part of the new input data. do.

First, input "LABELJ" as input data.This "LABELJ" is all character keys.

rLABELJ is entered in the search character area.

(Steps 10-12, 14.18-20). By pressing the next space ("Δ") key, the search character area is cleared (step 17). When rAJ is input, "A" becomes the search character (FIG. 4(b), steps 14.18-20).

When the call key is pressed at this point, call key processing 21 is performed (steps 12, 14.22 to 24.27).

The paper input data is sequentially extracted from the bottom input data group, and
” (Steps 22 to 23, 2
4.27-30).

In this embodiment, the latest input data retrieved first is r
Since it is ADFRJ, it matches the search string rAJ and rAD
FRJ is displayed (Fig. 4(C)).

Steps 34-38).

However, since the target character string is rABCDEFJ, when the call key is pressed again, call key processing is performed (steps 10 to 12). After erasing the previous candidate, the next low input data in the search target area is compared with the search character string rAJ (steps 21-22 and 24-29). The next low input data is "ΔΔΔ5SSJ, so it does not match rAJ, so the next low input data is extracted from the search target area again and compared (steps 31 to 32. 29 to 30). This process is as follows. This process continues until low input data matching the search string rAJ is found.

In this case, the character string rABCDEFJ is found in the primary order and displayed 9 (FIG. 4(d), steps 33 to 37).

When the desired character string is displayed, press the new line key to complete the data entry. At this time, rLABEL AB
CDEFJ as low input data.

It is input into the search target area (steps 15 to 20).

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, inputted data is displayed in the search mode in the order of newest input.
By performing an input operation when the data you want to input is displayed, only the data you want to input will be displayed. In other words, data can be input continuously on one line.
