Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to quickly input data by adding a foot input device capable of inputting data by stepping the device. CONSTITUTION:This data processing system is constituted of a data processor 1, a keyboard 3 for inputting data to the data processor 1, a CRT 2 for displaying inputted data, and the foot input device 4 connected to the data processor 1 and outputting a function key signal necessary for data input to the data processor 1 with a function key to be driven by depressing it with a foot. Since the data can be inputted also by stepping the device 4 with a foot, data input can be quickly executed as compared with a data processing system having a keyboard 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data processing system having a keyboard that can be pressed with a foot to activate a built-in switch and input data to a data processing device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, input to a data processing device is performed by using the hands to operate the keyboard. For example, when inputting the lowercase alphabet raJ, you need to use both hands to shift 0.
key and the rAJ key at the same time.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional data processing system described above only has an input device such as a keyboard that is input using the hand, so the number of inputs that can be pressed at the same time is limited by the size of the hand, the number of fingers, etc. However, there was a problem in that there was a limit to the speed of data entry.

[Means to solve the problem]

The data processing system of the present invention includes a data processing device and a keyboard for inputting data into the data processing device, wherein the data processing system is connected to the data processing device and when inputting data from the keyboard, A foot input device is provided for outputting a function key signal necessary for data input to the data processing device using a function key pressed and operated.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The data processing system shown in FIG.
, a keyboard 3 for inputting data into the data processing device l;
A CRT 2 that displays input data is connected to the data processing device 1, and when inputting data from the keyboard 3, outputs function key signals necessary for data input to the data processing device 1 using function keys that are pressed and operated with the foot. It consists of a foot input device 4.

Next, the operation will be explained.

In FIG. 1, when inputting data into the data processing device 1, for example, when inputting the lowercase letter raJ of the alphabet, it is necessary to operate the shift fist key 6 and the rAJ key 5, but the operator must operate the foot input device 4. By stepping on the shift fist key 6 with your foot and pressing the rAJ key 5 on the keyboard 3 with your hand, you can press the lowercase letter r of the alphabet.
aJ can be input, and the input lowercase alphabet raJ is output to the CRT 2 and displayed.

In this way, by adding a foot input device that allows input by stepping on the data processing system, data can be input at a faster speed than in a data processing system that only has the keyboard 3. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention adds a foot input device that allows input by stepping on a data processing system, thereby providing a data processing system that is more user-friendly than a data processing system that only has a manual input device such as a keyboard. This has the effect of allowing data input to be performed at a faster speed.
