Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the development efficiency by providing an input part with a data process part which processes data in various formats to the format which can be processed by a data processing program. CONSTITUTION:Input devices 1-1-1-n are provided with input parts 2-1-20n and data process parts 3-1-3-n. Data obtained by input parts 2-1-2-n have their formats processed by the input process parts 3-1 and 3-n and are then passed to the data processing program j4. Therefore, when the data in the different formats are obtained from the input parts 2-1-2-n, the format of the data processing program 4 is uniformed and the data are easily processed by the processing program 4. Thus, the process of the data processing program 4 is simplified and even when the new input devices 1-1-1-n are employed, the data processing program 4 need not be altered by using the data process parts 3-1-3-n.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to data processing in general.
In particular, it relates to input devices used to handle data in various formats.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional input device is shown in FIG. 2 and will be described. In this FIG. 2, 21 is an input device, and the input section 2
It consists of 2. 23 is a data processing program for processing data DT from the input section 22 in this input device 21. In this way, the conventional input device 21, as shown in FIG.
3 performs processing according to various data formats.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] The problem to be solved is that the conventional input device described above uses a data processing program to perform processing according to the data format, which increases the scale of the data processing program. In addition, with conventional input devices, it is necessary to modify the data processing program every time a new input device is adopted, which poses a problem of poor maintenance efficiency.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides data processing comprising an input section and a data processing section that processes data in various formats from the input section into a format that can be processed by a data processing program. It is something.

[0005]

[Operation] In the present invention, the data processing section processes data in various formats from the input section into a format that can be processed by a data processing program.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an input device according to the present invention. In this Figure 1, 1-1, 1
-2...1-n are input devices, and these input devices 1-1,
1-2...1-n are input sections 2-1, 2-2, and 2-2, respectively.
...2-n and data processing sections 3-1, 3-2...3-n corresponding to the input sections 2-1, 2-2...2-n. Here, the data processing units 3-1, 3-2...
3-n is configured to process data DT in various formats from the input units 2-1, 2-2, . . . 2-n into a format that can be processed by a data processing program. 4 is a data processing program for processing data DT of the same format that has been processed by the data processing units 3-1, 3-2, . . . , 3-n.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be explained. In the input device 1-1, the data DT obtained by the input section 2-1 is formatted by the data processing section 3-1 and then passed to the data processing program 4 as data DT. Then, in the input devices 1-2 to 1-n, data DT in the same format processed by the data processing units 3-2 to 3-n is passed to the data processing program 4. Now, even if data DT in different formats is obtained from the input units 2-1, 2-2...2-n, the data processing units 3-1, 3-2...3-n process the data respectively. By processing the data, it is possible to make all the data passed to the data processing program 4 in the same format. As a result, the processing of the data processing program 4 can be simplified. Further, when a new input device is adopted, it is sufficient to prepare a data processing section corresponding to the new input section, which is more efficient than modifying the data processing program.

[0008]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the input device of the present invention has a data processing section that processes data in various formats into a format that can be processed by a data processing program, thereby simplifying the data processing program. Even when adopting a new input device, only the necessary data processing section needs to be prepared, which has the effect of improving development efficiency.
