Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system in which a paper-based manual and computerized computerized information are integrated by an access code, and the computerized information can be operated from the paper information. The present invention relates to a computerized information access method for performing a plurality of computerized information operations from a single access code by giving variations to the input method.

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent improvement in computer performance, office automation has been promoted in offices, and the digitization of documents has become widespread. There is a tendency for various manuals used in offices, and the introduction of electronic manuals for reference on a computer has come to be seen. Recent applications come with a simple manual called the help function so that you can access the application instructions on a computer.

However, since it requires a certain degree of skill to operate a computer, the use of the above manual is currently limited to some persons who can handle the computer. Still, I often handle manuals on paper media. However, not only paper media but also information that cannot be expressed on paper is explained using a video tape. The bank's ATM terminal troubleshooting manual provides paper-based manuals for each processing procedure and also handles video tapes that record the actual operations.

The use of moving image data on a video tape is
It is possible to provide a concrete and easy-to-understand explanation to the manual user, but there is a problem in usability because the data to be referenced cannot be accessed immediately. This problem cannot be solved with a tape medium that can only be accessed sequentially. It is necessary to handle and manage the data in a digital format that allows random access. This leads to the use of calculators.

While the complexity of the operability of the computer maintains the existence of the paper medium, the computer can manage the moving image data for compensating the information which is insufficient by the paper alone, so that the information to be referred to can be quickly accessed. Under such circumstances, a method of attaching an access code such as a bar code or an OCR code on paper and associating the access code with the reference data has been devised. This makes it possible to quickly access information managed by the computer, and to perform that operation with a simple operation called code scanning.

[0006] As an example of operating computer information from the above access code on paper, OT of Nerex Corporation is used.
There is TO (One Touch Taught Operation) software. The computer operation is performed from a bar code on paper, and each bar code is associated with a process to be operated for each step. As for the association, the barcode is read while actually performing the operation step once. Not only is it used to refer to data such as moving images, but it also controls from paper all the various processes that are performed on the computer, such as the operations of various applications installed on the computer.

The mechanism for accessing the digitized information from the access code is realized by preparing a table in which the access code and the processing contents for the digitized information are associated with each other on a one-to-one basis. In this case, the access code serves as a search key for searching the corresponding processing content from the table. When the access code is scanned, the access code is analyzed and the above table is immediately searched.
Then, the corresponding process is determined and executed. The above operation is performed by the program prepared in the computer.
Also, the fact that the access code has been entered means that the
It is a mechanism that S senses and immediately informs the program. That is, the input of the access code can be detected by the OS as well as the input from the keyboard or the mouse.
The program side has a mechanism for performing the above-described processing when an input signal is received from the OS.

[0008]

In the above prior art, (1) since the computer processing associated with the access code is fixed, when the computer processing is composed of a plurality of processing steps, only the necessary processing steps are selected. Can not do it. For example, consider a manual in which an access code is attached to each work step of a work, and by inputting the access code, a description of the work is displayed and the work status is registered. Beginners will use this manual as a manual to learn how to process their work by referring to each work description. The skilled worker mechanically proceeds with the work according to the procedure described in the manual, and by registering the work status, it becomes a manual for reporting the progress status and the executed work to the business manager. In this case, the explanation display of each work is redundant for the expert. In particular, the explanation using a moving image with a long reference time leads to a reduction in work efficiency.

(2) Since an access code is required for each process, the number of access codes required increases as the number of processes increases. If you attach the access code in the form of a sticker on the manual, the cost to issue the sticker increases in proportion to the number of processes. In addition, when the access code is attached in the form of being printed on the manual in advance, it is necessary to specify the printing position for the number of processes, and it takes time and effort to create the manual paper. Further, as the number of access codes increases, the occupation ratio of the access codes to the manual paper surface increases, and the layout of the paper surface becomes difficult. This increases the number of man-hours for the paper construction work for the manual construction side, and provides the paper surface which is difficult for the manual user to see.

(3) Just enter the access code,
Since anyone can easily access the associated data, it is difficult to secure the data security. It is not possible to disclose data only to those who meet certain conditions such as job titles. Further, even when the access code can be easily duplicated by making a copy like a barcode, it is difficult to protect the confidentiality of the data.

(4) Since the processing associated with the access code is immediately executed when the access code is input, advance input cannot be performed. The manual user frequently touches the access code input device, and the input device or the writing instrument for operating the computer screen is frequently replaced. Therefore, the system has poor operability.

(5) Since only one data can be referred to by one access code, there is a situation in which the meaning of the data is lost depending on the computer environment. For example, when referring to audio data from an access code, some computers lack the audio reproduction function. In this case, this voice data has no meaning. Similarly, there is also a problem of the validity of still image and moving image data due to the limitation of the number of colors that the computer can display. At present, the system is constructed for a limited computer environment, and there is a problem in the versatility of the system in operation.

(6) One-to-one correspondence between access code and correspondence
Since it corresponds to, the same operation is performed regardless of who uses the manual. How to use the manual depends on the skill level of the work described in the manual. If you are a beginner, it is necessary to explain using more specific media such as images and videos as well as text. On the other hand, it is sufficient for the expert to show a simple supplementary document, and redundant explanations such as moving images may waste time.
To avoid such a situation, it is necessary to prepare a manual for each level.

(7) In a manual such as a computer software operation manual in which work is performed by inputting access codes in order, skip the access code because the paper and the display device are viewed alternately. May be entered. In the above manual, the next process is often performed based on the result of the process performed immediately before. Therefore, if one process is skipped, the subsequent process cannot be executed.
The error display in that case depends on the processing associated with the access code. If it is associated with macro processing for a general-purpose application, the error display is output by that application, and the coping method for manual operation is not shown. The operation to be performed next is not clearly indicated to the manual user, which causes a situation in which the work is restarted from the beginning, which leads to a reduction in work efficiency.

(8) It will be difficult to add data to the access code attached manual after construction later. Even if some access codes are left as a spare, the number is limited. Also, when a new access code is created and attached, a space for attachment is required, and the number of attachments is limited. At present, it is corrected on a paper-by-paper basis, and new paper will be created for each manual distribution destination, which poses a problem in terms of cost and man-hours.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a method for more flexibly performing a computer operation performed on paper, thereby increasing the versatility of a manual.

[0017]

In order to solve the above problems, (1) a plurality of access codes can be input at one time, and a computer process can be associated with a combination of the input access codes. In addition to associating the process for each access code, by associating the process with the access code input method and changing the input method, it is possible to execute a process different from the case where the access code is input alone. I made it possible.

(2) An input method management data storage unit is provided,
Instead of associating the access code with the process one-to-one, a plurality of access codes were input at one time and the process was linked to the combination of the inputs.

(3) The processing can be associated with only a combination of a plurality of access codes without connecting the processing to the access code alone. Then, the combination of access codes is converted into another access code managed by the correspondence information construction unit, and in the correspondence processing management table,
The process is associated with the converted access code.

(4) A data storage unit for storing the input access code for a predetermined time and a time control unit for managing the storage time are provided. The processing is not executed every time an access code is input, but a batch processing can be performed on a plurality of access codes input within a fixed time.

(5) The data construction section is provided with a function of calculating the number of consecutive access code inputs from a plurality of access codes stored in the data storage section, and the input method management data storage section stores the number of consecutive input codes. A table is provided to associate the processes. The number of times of input referred to here is for an access code group input within a fixed time managed by the time control unit.

(6) A function of storing and managing the access history for the access code is added to the data construction unit. In determining the handling process, not only the input access code but also the access history up to the time of input was referred to, and the process was associated with the combination of the history information and the access code.

(7) The input method management data storage unit manages the preconditions for performing the processing corresponding to the access code and the input history of the access code. A function to check is added to the data construction part so that it can be judged whether the input order is correct before executing the processing.

(8) A function for designating the input method of the access code is added to the correspondence processing management table that links the access code and the correspondence processing and the correspondence information construction unit for constructing the input method management data storage unit.

The above means has the following actions. (1) Since a process different from the process associated with each access code can be associated with the access code input method, a certain processing step of the computer process associated with the access code alone is associated with the input method. If matched,
It works so that a mechanism can be constructed so that only the necessary processing is executed from the processing executed by the access code alone.

(2) Since the processes are linked to the combination of the access code inputs, the number of processes that can be called from the access code is not limited to the number of access codes. It works so that more processing than the number of access codes can be handled without preparing a new access code.

(3) Since the processing is linked only to a combination of a plurality of access codes, the data cannot be referenced only by reading a single access code. In addition, since the access code and the process are corresponded by using the new access code constructed by the correspondence information constructing unit, it is not possible to know the combination of the access codes to be input only by referring to the correspondence information management table. Acts like.

(4) Since the input access code is not processed by computer immediately after input but is stored in the data storage unit for a fixed time, the access code is continuously input during the fixed time. Act as you can.

(5) Since the processes are associated with each other when the access code is continuously input, one access code can call a plurality of different processes. This is a reproduction of the mouse double-click operation on the GUI screen of the computer on paper.

(6) Since the process is associated with the combination of the history information and the access code, the process performed by one access code can be changed according to the access history.

(7) Before performing the process corresponding to the access code, it is checked whether or not the access code corresponding to the process on which the process is premised is input. Therefore, an input error occurs before the actual process. Acts to enable detection of.

(8) When the access code and the correspondence information are registered by the correspondence information constructing unit, the input method of the access code can be specified. Therefore, after the manual construction, a new process can be performed by using the access code already attached. It acts so that it can be added.

Build the data.

The correspondence processing determination unit 130 is the data construction unit 1
Corresponding processing management table 1 based on the data passed from 25
With reference to 50, the processing content to be performed is determined. Then, the processing content is transmitted to the processing execution unit 135.

The process execution unit 135 is a correspondence process determination unit 130.
The data in the auxiliary storage device 155 is accessed and the processing result is displayed on the output device 105 according to the processing content passed from the device.

The input method management data storage section 140 stores data for urging the corresponding processing determination section 130 to change the processing according to the access code input method. The correspondence process management table 150 is a table in which an access code is associated with a process performed when the access code is input. The correspondence information construction unit 145 has a function of registering data in the input method management data storage unit 140 and the correspondence processing management table 150.

The details of the data construction unit 125 are shown in FIG. The data construction unit 125 includes a history management unit 200, a frequency management unit 205, and a combination management unit 210.

The history management unit 200 determines whether to switch the process corresponding to the currently input access code based on the past input history of the access code, and is necessary for executing the process corresponding to the access code. Check if another access code is entered first.

The number-of-times management unit 205 checks the number of times the same access code is continuously input, and the number of times. When a plurality of access codes are input at one time, the combination management unit 210 checks whether or not a particular process is associated with the combination of the input.

From FIG. 3, the input method management data storage unit 140
The details are shown below. The input method management data storage unit 140 includes a history management table 300, a history information storage table 305,
Count management table 310, combination management table 31
Equipped with 5. Details of each table are shown in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows details of each table installed in the input method management data storage section 140. The history management table 300 includes an access code 400 and an access condition 4.
05 and the process change code 410 are registered. A condition that is a prerequisite for performing the process corresponding to the access code 400 and a condition that prompts the process to be changed are described as an access condition 405. When the process is changed, the access code corresponding to the changed process is changed. The code 410 is registered. In the illustrated example, the code A indicates that the processing is changed depending on whether the code D has already been input. If the code D is input, the process corresponding to the code X which is the process changing code is performed, and if the code D is not input, the process corresponding to the code A is performed. The code B is an example in which the corresponding process is not performed unless the code D is input first. At this time, nothing is registered in the process change code field 410. For code C, if both code A and code B are entered first,
In this example, the process is changed to code Z. The history information storage table 305 contains the access history 41 of the access code.
5 is registered in the order of input.

In the number-of-times management table 310, an access code 420 and the number of times the access code is continuously input 42
5. Register the process changing code 430. If the access code is entered the same number of times as the registered number, the entered access code 420 is changed to the process change code 4
Replace with 30. In the example of the figure, when the code A is input twice or three times and the code B is input twice in succession, the access code is replaced, and the processing is performed assuming that the code X, the code Y, and the code Z are input, respectively. ing.

In the combination management table 315, an access code combination 435 and an access code corresponding to the processing for the combination are registered as a processing change code 440. In the illustrated example, when the code A and the code B are combined and input, the processing is performed assuming that the code X is input.

Details of the correspondence information management table 150 are shown in FIG. The access code 500 and the corresponding process execution macro 505 are registered in the corresponding information management table 150.
For each access code, the corresponding process executed by inputting the access code is associated. Corresponding processing is prepared in the form called a macro that describes a series of processing procedures, and macro names are registered in this table.

In the example shown in the figure, when the code A is input, the macro 1 is executed, and when the code B is input, the macro 2 is executed.

FIG. 6 shows a procedure flow for referring to computerized information. First, the input device 100 captures access code data 600 (hereinafter referred to as code data) attached to a sheet of paper into the computer 110. The code data means the number / character string data that constitutes the access code. The loaded code data 600 is stored in the data storage unit 11
Stored in 5. In the data storage unit 115, when the first code data is input, the fact is notified by the time control unit 120.
And the timer of the time control unit 120 is started.
The duration of the timer is set in advance by the computer administrator, and when that time has passed, the fact is notified to the data storage unit 115. When the data storage unit 115 receives the notification, the input of the access code from the input device 100 is temporarily blocked, and the stored code data group 605 is passed to the data construction unit 125. The data format is such that the number of pieces of code data is added at the beginning and then the group of code data is arranged. After passing the data, unblock the input of the access code and return to the input ready state.

The data construction unit 125 makes various checks on the access code input method. Here, by referring to the input method management data storage unit 140, the code data is checked from the viewpoints of the combination of inputs, the number of inputs, and the history, and data such as replacement of the code data sent from the data storage unit 115 is checked. Make corrections. Details of this step are shown in FIG. The data format 610 at the time when this step ends is the same as that at the time of input, but there is a possibility that code data different from the code data at the time of input is registered.

Data 61 generated by the data construction unit 125
0 is passed to the handling process determination unit 130. The correspondence processing determination unit 130 refers to the correspondence processing management table 150, extracts the processing macro corresponding to the code data, and generates data 615 to be passed to the processing execution unit 135. The data format is such that the number of processing macros is listed first, followed by the processing macros.

In the processing execution unit 135, the corresponding processing determination unit 1
The processing macros sent from 30 are processed one by one, and the result is displayed on the output device 105.

FIG. 7 shows a detailed flow of checking the input method. The order of checks is the history, the number of inputs, and the combination of inputs, but this order is not necessary. Here, as an example of the input method check processing,
The description will be given according to the order of the figures.

In the history check 200, first, it is checked 700 by referring to the history management table 300 whether an access condition is set for the input access code. For the access code for which the access condition is set, refer to the history information storage table 305,
Check if the access conditions are met 70
5. If the condition is satisfied, and the process change code 410 is registered on the history management table 300, the input access code is replaced with the process change code 410 (710). This means that the process is changed when the access condition is satisfied. Then, the access code is registered in the history information storage table 305. If the access condition is not satisfied, the history management table 3
If the process change code 410 is not registered on 00, a message notifying that the precondition for performing the process corresponding to the access code is not satisfied and the input access code is replaced 715. This means that the process corresponding to the access code is not performed when the access condition is not satisfied.
Then, the access code not replaced by the message is registered 720 in the history information storage table 305.

In the check 205 of the number of times of input, first, the number of times of continuous input of each code data is examined to check whether the same code data is continuously input 7
25. Next, for code data that has been input multiple times, it is checked 730 whether the code data is registered in the number-of-times management table 310. If it has been registered, it means that the processing different from the case of single input is registered when inputting plural times. Count management table 31
0, the number of times the target access code was entered 4
25 is searched for an item that matches the number of inputs entered this time, and the corresponding process change code 430 is taken out. Then, a plurality of consecutive same code data are collected into one,
Replace 735 with the process modification code 430.

In the check 210 of the combination of inputs,
First, referring to the combination management table 315, it is checked 740 whether or not the combination of the inputs entered this time is registered in the table 315 (740). If registered, the process changing code 440 for that combination is taken out. Then, the code to be paired is replaced with the process changing code 440 745.

Finally, the data 610 corrected in the above steps is passed to the corresponding process determining unit 130, and the process performed by the data constructing unit 125 is completed.

8 and 9 show an application example of the present invention. 8 (a) and 8 (b) shows an example of using the input method of combining a plurality of access codes, and FIG. 9 (a) shows an example of using an input method of entering the same access code multiple times. An example of using the history is shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C.

FIG. 8A shows an example in which a plurality of access codes are input at one time and the data corresponding to the input access codes are referenced at one time. When the access code 805 of processing-corresponds to each of data-, each data is displayed side by side in another area and referred to each other 815, each data is combined and treated as one data, and displayed in one area. 820, and when each data is graph data, it is possible to use 825 for comparing the data by displaying them in an overlapping manner.

These not only make it easy to understand the relationship between each data, but also improve the work efficiency. For example, in the case of the data summary display 820, by continuously inputting a plurality of access codes within a fixed time, the explanations associated with the input access codes are collectively displayed in one form. By doing so, it is possible to easily grasp the outline of the reference data.

This usage can be applied as follows. First,
Consider a business manual that performs two computer processes of inputting an access code and displaying a description of the process and registering a work status for recording that the process has been performed. The explanation display is prepared for beginners in business. The work status registration is a means for reporting the progress status of the work and the executed work to the work manager using the work manual. In this case, the expert does not need to display the explanation, and it is desirable that only the registration process can be performed efficiently. In particular, when the explanation data is provided on a medium such as a moving image that requires a long time to refer to, the work efficiency decreases due to the data reference time. Therefore, as described above, by continuously inputting a plurality of access codes within a fixed time, the function of simplifying or omitting the explanation display and performing the registration work becomes effective. As a result, a versatile manual suitable for beginners and skilled workers can be provided.

FIG. 8B shows an example in which specific processing is performed by inputting several access codes as a set.
Correlate sensitive data such as the source code of a program that is only allowed to be viewed by a specific department with an access code 830 and input it in combination with an access code 835 written on a personal ID card. Then, it is possible to use it by making it possible to refer to the data. In this case, you cannot read the data just by reading the access code.
The access code input request of is displayed on the screen.

FIG. 9A shows an example in which the data to be referred to is changed according to the number of times the access code is input. It is assumed that the access code 840 of the processing is associated with a detailed operation method of an office device such as a copying machine by some media. The access code may be displayed once in a text format by inputting once 845, the information may be read out in a voice format by inputting 845 twice, the information may be read out in a voice format by 850, and the explanation video may be played in a moving image format by inputting three times 855.

FIG. 9B shows an example of changing the processing associated with the access code by utilizing the history information of the access code input in the past. Information is associated with each access code in the manual text according to the level of the manual user. For advanced users, prepare a text-based summary sentence, and for beginners, prepare information for each level such as an intuitive and easy-to-understand explanation video. Then, on the manual cover, access codes 860 and 865 for designating the user level for designating at what level to perform the work when using this manual are prepared. By reading the access codes 860 and 865 once when using the manual, it becomes possible to refer to the information corresponding to the designated level from the access code to be input thereafter.

FIG. 9C is an example in which the input order of access codes is checked using history information. Suppose that it is necessary to enter the processing in the order of the numbers. For example,
Consider the situation in which the operation code is attached to each procedure in the procedure manual of the application software and the operation is actually confirmed on the computer by reading it. When the spreadsheet software is started as the procedure and the data is loaded as the procedure, it becomes meaningless to issue the data load instruction without starting the software. In such a case, it becomes necessary to check the input order.

In the figure, it is assumed that the places to be input in the order of process-number are input in the form of ... And the input of process 875 is skipped. in this case,
After the processing of the processing 870 is executed, the processing 875 is not input, so that the user is notified of a message indicating that the following processing cannot be executed.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the screen of the correspondence information construction unit 145. The correspondence information construction unit 145 is a mechanism for registering data in the input method management data storage unit 140 and the correspondence processing management table 150. Here, the state of data registration is shown from a screen example.

First, the registration procedure will be described. The registration program is activated and the registration screen 940 as shown in the figure is displayed. Then, the target access code is input from the reading device 100. The input access code is displayed in the access code column 900. If you enter more than one, only those numbers will be displayed in a list. In that case,
The process will be associated with the combination of the input access codes.

When the access code designated here is single, the access code is registered in the access code column 900 of the corresponding process management table 150. When there are a plurality of combinations, the access code combinations are registered in the code combination field 435 of the combination management table 315.

Next, a processing macro to be associated with this access code is designated. Create the processing macro in the application to be used in advance and store it in the file format. A list of macro files is displayed in the processing macro name list 905, and a target macro is selected from the list. Further, by selecting the item 910 without processing, it is possible to construct a mechanism in which the processing macro is associated with a certain combination of inputs and the processing is not performed only by inputting a single access code. The processing macro specified here is registered in the corresponding processing execution macro column 505 of the corresponding processing management table 150.

History registration and management of the number of inputs can also be designated on the registration screen 940. In the history management designation 915, necessary conditions are entered in the process change condition column 920 or the execution precondition column 925. The former is used to perform the operation of executing the selected processing macro when the condition is satisfied, and the latter not performing the selected processing macro when the condition is not satisfied. As a result, the access code is registered in the access code column 400 of the history management table 300, and the processing change condition 920 or the execution prerequisite 925 is registered in the access condition column 405.

In the designation 930 of the number of input times, the number 935 of continuous input of the access code is designated. As a result, the access code is registered in the access code column 420 of the count management table 310, and the input count set in the input count designation column 935 is registered in the continuous input count column 425.

The process change code column 410 of the history management table 400, the process change code column 430 of the number of times management table 420, and the process change code column 440 of the combination management table 435 are unique to the correspondence information construction unit 145.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, (1) By changing the access code input method, a part of the processing associated with a single access code can be executed. The efficiency of can be improved. With the access code alone, the work explanation is displayed and the work status is registered. However, when a plurality of access codes are input within a certain time, the work status can only be registered. As a result, it is possible to omit the redundant explanation display for the skilled person and efficiently proceed with the work. Therefore, it is possible to provide a general-purpose manual for both a beginner who needs the explanation display and an expert who aims to mechanically and efficiently perform the work.

(2) Since access codes for the number of processes to be associated are not required, the number of access codes attached to the manual can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cost for attaching the access code and reduce the number of man-hours for the attaching work. Further, since the occupation ratio of the access code on the paper is smaller than that of the conventional one, it is possible to provide the paper which is easy for the manual user to see.

(3) Since the data corresponding to the access code cannot be referred to only by inputting a single access code, the access right can be provided to the reference data. This is because it is necessary to know the combination of access code inputs and to have a pair of access codes at hand to refer to the data.

(4) Since the access codes can be input at one time, it is possible to save the trouble of performing the access operation for each process. The complicated operation of exchanging the access code input device with another input device or a writing instrument is improved, and the interface becomes easy to use.

(5) Since a plurality of different processes can be called from one access code depending on the number of inputs, it is possible to construct a general-purpose manual system that is not affected by the computer environment. There is a usage method in which the data referred to by the access code is prepared in a plurality of media such as text, voice, and video, and is switched according to the situation. In an environment where there is no sound, it is possible to use it by displaying text.

(6) Since the process can be changed according to the access history, the process can be switched by the previous input operation even with the same access code. Utilizing this, it is possible to use such a method that an access code, which is an element for switching the processing, is first input once, and this access code is combined with an access code to be subsequently input to determine the processing. For example, the user's ID when using the manual
By inputting once, different processes can be associated with each user even in the same manual. It is possible to provide supplementary explanations in the text format to skilled workers and to provide more detailed explanations to beginners as video data without providing a separate manual according to the user's level. It will be possible.

(7) Since the error processing relating to the input order is performed at the stage of inputting the access code, the user can be presented with a method of coping with the error in the manual system in the form of which access code should be input again. . The user can easily proceed to the next process by re-entering an appropriate access code according to the instruction.

(8) Since a new process can be registered using only the attached access code, it is not necessary to prepare a new access code when adding a new process to an existing manual. As for the activation of the new addition process, it is sufficient to notify the manual distribution destination of the input method for the access code, so that it is possible to reduce the cost and the man-hour required for replacing the conventional manual.
