FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a movement amount detection type coordinate input device, 2
0 is an input operation registration reproduction unit, 21 is a start declaration unit, 22 is an end declaration unit, 23 is a reproduction declaration unit, 24 is an initial coordinate setting unit,
25 is an operation storage unit, 26 is an operation information reading unit, 27 is an input / output information switching unit, 28 is an operation information writing unit, 30
Represents a computer system.

The start declaration section 21 outputs a registration start signal to the input / output information switching section 27 and the initial coordinate setting section 24. The end declaration unit 22 outputs a registration end signal to the input / output information switching unit 27.

The reproduction declaring section 23 outputs a command signal for reproducing the registered input operation to the initial coordinate setting section 24 and the input / output information switching section 27. The operation information reading unit 26 reads the operation information from the movement amount detection type coordinate input device 10 and transmits it to the input / output information switching unit 27.

2 to 5 are explanatory views of an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numerals in the figure correspond to those in FIG. The dotted line represents the flow of instructions and the solid line represents the flow of data.

FIG. 2 shows the flow of information when no registration or reproduction operation is performed. Moving amount detection type coordinate input device 1
The operation data generated at 0 enters the operation information reading unit (), is passed through the input / output information switching unit (,), and is transmitted from the operation information writing unit to the computer system ().

In this state, the operation information of the movement amount detection type coordinate input device is transient, which is the same as that of the conventional input device. FIG. 3 shows a flow of information when the start declaration unit 21 is activated and operation registration is started. Start declaration section 2
When 1 is activated, it issues a command to the initial coordinate setting unit 24 to determine the initial coordinate of the pointer (). The initial coordinate setting unit 24 sends the initial coordinate data to the operation information writing unit 28 (), and the operation information writing unit 28 transmits the data to the computer system (). At this point, the pointer is displayed at the initial coordinate position. Next, start declaration section 21
Issues an operation storage command to the input / output information switching unit 27 (). After that, when the operation data of the movement amount detection type coordinate input device 10 is input to the input / output information switching unit 27 (
), The input / output information switching unit 27 sends the data to the operation storage unit 25 and the operation information writing unit 28 (
). The operation storage unit 25 stores the received data, and the operation information writing unit 28 stores the received data.
Communicate that data to. The operation of the movement amount detection type coordinate input device 10 is stored by this series of data flow.

In FIG. 4, the end declaration unit 22 is activated,
The flow of information at the time of ending the operation registration is shown. When the termination declaration unit 22 is activated, the termination declaration unit 22 issues a storage termination command to the input / output information switching unit 27 (). In response to this command, the input / output information switching unit 27 stops transmitting data to the operation storage unit 25 (). After that, the flow of information becomes similar to the case of FIG. 2 (...).

In FIG. 5, the playback declaration section 23 is activated,
7 shows a flow of information in a state where operation reproduction has started. When the reproduction declaration unit 23 is activated, a command is issued to the initial coordinate setting unit 24 to determine the initial coordinate of the pointer (). The initial coordinate setting unit 24 sends the initial coordinate data to the operation information writing unit 28 (), and the operation information writing unit 28 transmits the data to the computer system 30 (). At this point, the pointer is displayed at the initial coordinate position. The reproduction declaration section 23 issues an operation reproduction command to the input / output information switching section 27 (). Upon receipt of this command, the input / output information switching unit 27 stops data input from the operation information reading unit 26 (), and instead starts reading data from the operation storage unit 25 (). The input / output information switching unit 27 sends this data to the operation information writing unit 28 (), and the data is transmitted from the operation information writing unit 28 to the computer system 30 (). By this series of operations, the movement amount detection type coordinate input device operation registered in FIGS. 3 and 4 can be reproduced. When the data in the operation storage unit 25 is completed, the input / output information switching unit 27 judges this and switches the input to that from the operation information reading unit 26. After this, the flow returns to the information flow shown in FIG.

In the above embodiment, the operation data indicates information such as coordinate movement amounts in the x and y directions and button operation. FIG. 6 shows an example of initial coordinate setting. The maximum horizontal movement of the display is 100,
Consider the coordinates on the screen as shown in FIG. When the initial coordinate setting command is output from the start declaration unit 21 or the reproduction declaration unit 23, the initial coordinate setting unit 24 causes the lateral movement amount −100,
The vertical movement amount -100 is output to the operation information writing unit 28 as operation data. By moving -100 in the horizontal direction and -100 in the vertical direction (), the pointer moves to the upper left corner regardless of the position (). If you want to set the initial coordinate to the center of the screen, you can set it to move 50 horizontally and 50 vertically (,
).

[0021]

According to the present invention, by registering and reproducing a series of operations in advance, when performing the next operation such as repeating a similar series of operations, it is annoying that the operator repeats the same operation. Can be eliminated.
