Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable input operation by directly indicating on a CRT screen. CONSTITUTION:A CRT correspondence picture 4 is reduced and displayed on a display part 3 and a place to be indicated on a CRT main body is touched with a finger over a look at the CRT correspondence picture 4. The touch data is sent to a touch data analysis part 6 through a touch panel control part 5. The touch data analysis part 6 analyzes the touch data and sends coordinate data corresponding to the position on the screen of a CRT main body to a touch panel control part 5. The touch panel control part 5 sends the coordinate data to a coordinate data transmission part 7 and the data is sent from the coordinate data transmission part 7 to the CRT main body (personal computer, etc.) finally. Consequently, a cursor on the screen of the CRT main body, etc., moves to the touched place on the CRT correspondence picture 4.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an input device, and more particularly to an auxiliary input device used for data input in an information processing device such as a personal computer.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional input devices of this type include mice, joysticks, touch panels, and the like.

0003

Among these conventional input devices, the mouse and joystick have a drawback in that in order to move the cursor to a designated position, the user must continue to move the cursor until the cursor is moved to that position. In addition, since conventional touch panels are attached to the CRT body,
The drawback is that it cannot be operated from a distance.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] The input device of the present invention has a C
It is characterized by having a display section with a touch panel structure that displays a reduced size of the corresponding screen of the RT main body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1(a) is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the input device of the present invention, and FIG. 1(b) is a functional block diagram of the embodiment.

[0006] The CRT compatible screen 4 is displayed in a reduced size on the display section 3, and the user looks at the part of the CRT compatible screen 4 that he or she wants to show on the CRT body and touches that part with his or her finger. The touched data is sent to the touch data analysis section 6 via the touch panel control section 5. The touch data analysis section 6 analyzes the sent touch data and sends coordinate data corresponding to the position of the CRT main body screen to the touch panel control section 5. Touch panel control unit 5
sends the coordinate data to the coordinate data transmitter 7, and is finally transmitted from the coordinate data transmitter 7 to the CRT main body (personal computer, etc.). As a result, the cursor on the CRT main screen moves to the location touched on the CRT compatible screen 4. If the position of the cursor displayed on the screen of the CRT main body is correct, the position can be confirmed by touching the "OK" position on the display section 3. Also, if you want to correct the position confirmed by “OK”, press “CANCE” on the display.
Correction can be made by touching the position of "L" and canceling the previous coordinate data.

[0007]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention uses a touch panel as an input device and displays a CRT compatible screen in a reduced size on the display section, so that input can be made by directly showing the CRT screen. effective.
