Abstract

PURPOSE:To make once inputted input information reusable, to reuse the information and to attain an efficient input work since the input of the whole sentence of the input information is not necessary by storing user input information into an input information table. CONSTITUTION:User input information is inputted in response to an input information request from a program 8 and, at the same time, the user input information is stored on an input information table 7. When the once inputted user input information is again inputted, the input information is retrieved and read out from the table 7 and inputted against the program 8.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information input method for inputting information into an information processing system, and in particular, a user input information input method in which a user inputs information in response to a request of a program running on an information processing system. Regarding the method.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when inputting information from an input device to a program running on an information processing system, a user is required to input the entire text each time, and the information is input into the program.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional input methods described above can only input information directly input by the user from the input device. Therefore, even when users input similar or identical information, they always have to directly input the entire text of the input information.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to store information input by a user in an input information table, treat the input from the input information table as the same as that directly input from an input device, and reuse the input information. The goal is to provide information and input methods that make it possible.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the user input information input method according to the present invention, user input information is input in response to an input information request from a program, and the user input information is stored in an input information table. Store. When inputting the same input information as previously inputted user input information, the input information table is searched and read out, and the input information is input to the program.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart explaining the operation in this embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the structure of an input information table.

This embodiment includes a keyboard 1 for inputting user input information, an input information acquisition section 2 for acquiring input information, and an input information control section 3 for controlling subsequent processing according to the contents of the input information. , an input information table storage unit 4 that stores input information in an input information table, and an input information table update unit 5 that updates the input information table according to user instructions.
, an input information table reference section 6 that refers to the input information table and retrieves input information, an input information table 7, and a program 8 that requests input information.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

First, a user who receives an input request from the program 8 (step 21) operates the keyboard 1 to directly input the entire text of input information (commands, data, etc.). The input information acquisition unit 2 then acquires this input information (
Step 22). Next, the input information control unit 3 receives the input information from the input information acquisition unit 2 and analyzes the content of the input information (step 23). Since the input information is information for the program 8, it is stored in the input information table 7 by the input information table storage section 4 (step 28). The input information is then input into the program 8 (step 29).

Next, when the user receives an input request from the program 8 again and inputs the same input information as the previous time, he operates the keyboard 1 to input a reference request to the input information table. (e.g. pressing a special key). Then, the input information control unit 3 determines that the input information is a reference request to the input information table 7, and displays the input information that has already been input in the input information table 7 on the display of the terminal (step 24). The user operates the keyboard 1 to select arbitrary information from among the input information on the display. Then, the selected input information is temporarily displayed on the display and can be modified using the keyboard 1 (step 25). Then, the input information table storage unit 4 stores the new input information in the input information table 7 (step 28), and simultaneously inputs it to the program 8 (step 29).

[0012] When the user receives an input request from the program 8, if he wishes to update the contents of the current input information table 7, he operates the keyboard 1 to input an update request to the input information table ( (for example, pressing a special key). Then, the input information control unit 3 determines that the input information is an update request for the input information table 7, and displays the input information that has already been input in the input information table 7 on the display of the terminal (step 26). The user updates the input information on the display to arbitrary content by operating the keyboard 1 (step 27). Thereafter, the process transitions to re-input from the keyboard 1.

[0013] Therefore, when re-entering input information with the same contents, by referring to the input information table 7, the entire input information can be input without inputting the entire text from the keyboard 1.
This can be done by using special keys and selecting input information.

Next, details of the input information table 7 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The input information table 7 is composed of management information 31, input information contents 32, and reference counts 33. Management information numbers are in the order of input, and management information number #
1 "EXEC..." is the first input information, and information up to #10 "RUN..." is currently stored. Furthermore, although the size of the input information table 7 is arbitrary, the description will be made assuming that it can store 10 pieces of input information.

First, the input information table storage unit 4
The input information is stored in the input information table 7 in order of management number. If there is no free space in the input information table 7, #2 is the oldest input information with the least number of references.
"1200" is deleted and new input information is stored. Next, the input information table reference section 6 displays the contents of the input information in the input information table 7 in numerical order of the management information (step 24). Thereafter, the user selects the information to be input by selecting the corresponding number by operating the keyboard 1 (step 25). For example, if you select #5, you are inputting "COPY A, B".

Furthermore, when updating the input information table by the input information table updating section 5, all information in the input information table 7 is displayed on the display (step 26). Thereafter, the user operates the keyboard 1 to select and modify information to be updated. For example, select #8 and select “RENAME”.
B, A" can be changed to "RENAME B', A'" (step 27).Also, even if new input information is stored, if you want to leave "1200" in #2,
This is possible by selecting #2 and setting the number of references to 1 or more.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, by storing user input information in an input information table, input information once input can be reused without wasting it. Therefore, the user does not have to input the entire text of the input information, which has the effect of allowing efficient input work.
