Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an input data processing device used in a computer (electronic computer) or the like, and more particularly to an input data processing device to which a plurality of input means are connected and different data are input from each input means. ..

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of input data processing device, input means such as a mouse, a tablet, and a keyboard are connected, and different types of data are input from these input means. Each of these input data is input to an input section in the processing device, and further sent from this input section to an input data control section via an input data receiving section.

In this input data processing device, each input section is independent of the input data control section,
All the control was done independently. That is, the input request from the input data control unit to each input unit is individually issued, and the input data from each input unit such as a mouse is independently sent to the input data control unit.

[0004]

In the conventional input data processing device described above, all controls are independent for each input unit, so the input data control unit issues an input request to each input means such as a mouse. I could not issue at the same time. On the other hand, it was not possible to simultaneously input data from each input means, and it was not possible to combine a plurality of input data into new input data. Therefore, when handling multiple input data, the data input efficiency decreases, and when creating new data that combines multiple data, each data must be handled again. Was invited.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to allow data to be input simultaneously from a plurality of input means and to create a composite data by combining a plurality of input data. An object of the present invention is to provide an input data processing device which can improve the data input efficiency.

[0006]

An input data processing apparatus according to the present invention has a plurality of input sections to which respective data supplied from a plurality of input sections having different input formats are inputted, and the respective input sections. An input data composite section for combining a plurality of data to create composite data, and an input data control section for inputting the composite data created by the input data composite section are provided.

The input data processing device of the present invention further comprises a composite condition storage section for storing composite data set for each combination of a plurality of input data, wherein the input data composite section stores in the composite condition storage section. The input data control unit outputs a request for data combination processing by the input data combination unit or a request for individual processing to the input data combination unit. It is preferable that the section is configured to perform the compounding process only when the compounding process is requested.

According to the input data processing device having such a configuration, the input data from the plurality of input means is processed according to the combination condition stored in advance in the composite condition storage unit, and the input data control unit is processed as new composite data. Since a plurality of data can be input from each input means at the same time, or input data can be combined.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an input data processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The input data processing device 1 includes a plurality of, for example, three input units 11a.
~ 11c. Coordinate value data is input from the mouse 2 to the input unit 11a and the tablet 3 to the input unit 11b, and character data is input from the keyboard 4 to the input unit 11c. These input units 11a to 11c are connected to the input data composite unit 12, respectively. The input data composite unit 12 creates a new composite data by combining a plurality of data input to the input units 11a to 11c in response to a request for a composite processing from an input data control unit 16 described later. It has a function of outputting to the input data receiving unit 14.

A composite condition storage unit 13 is connected to the input data composite unit 12. The composite condition storage unit 13 is composed of, for example, a ROM (read only memory). A program for controlling the input data composite unit 12 is stored in this ROM, and a plurality of input data input to the input data composite unit 12 are given meaning by the combination thereof.

The input data receiving section 5 is an input data composite section 1
It receives the composite data created by 2 and sends this data to the input data control unit 16. The input data control unit 16 controls each unit (not shown) based on the input data, and outputs a data input request to each of the input units 11a to 11c. This input request includes an independent input request from each of the input units 2 to 4 and a combined input request from the input units 2 to 4. The input data control unit 16 is connected to the input data composite unit 12 via the input data request unit 15. The input request signal output from the input data control unit 16 is sent to the input data composite unit 12 via the input data request unit 15. The input data composite unit 12 that receives this input request receives the mouse 2 and the tablet 3 via the input units 11a to 11c.
Also, the keyboard 4 is requested to input data.

Next, the operation of the input data processing device 1 will be described.

First, the input data control section 3 outputs an input request for a plurality of data to the input data request section 15. Upon receiving this request, the input data request unit 15 requests the input data composite unit 12 for data input. Input data composite section 12
Are input units 11a, 1 of the input means corresponding to the request.
1b and 11c are set in the input request waiting state.

When the operator inputs input data from the mouse 2, tablet 3 or keyboard 4, the input units 11a, 11b and 11c pass the respective input data to the input data composite unit 12. When the input data combination unit 12 needs the combination process of the input data, the combination condition storage unit 13 allocates the combinable conditions based on the input data, and combines the combined conditions based on the allocated conditions. The data is converted into data and then output to the input data control unit 16 via the input data receiving unit 14. The input data control unit 16 controls each unit based on the input composite data.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the input data composite section 12 when A and C are input as data from the mouse 2 and moving coordinates (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) are input from the tablet 3. It represents a composite process. The compound condition storage unit 13 stores in advance compound conditions for inputs from the mouse 2 and the tablet 3 as shown in FIG. In the input data composite unit 12, the function corresponding to the input data A, C from the mouse 2 means S for reduction.
That the composite data S (X1, Y1), as new input data,
It is sent to the input data control unit 16 as (X2, Y2).

As described above, in the input data processing apparatus of this embodiment, the input data from a plurality of input means such as the mouse 2 is processed according to the combination condition stored in the composite condition storage unit 13 in advance, and the new composite data is obtained. Since it can be sent to the input data control unit 16, a plurality of data from each input means can be input at the same time, or the input data can be combined. Therefore, the data input efficiency is significantly improved.

Although the mouse 2 or the like is used as the input means in the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to these, and other input means may be used.

[0019]

As described above, according to the input data processing apparatus of the present invention, a plurality of data supplied from a plurality of input means having different input formats are combined to create composite data. Simultaneous input or combination input can be performed from each input means, and the data input efficiency can be improved.
