Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic operation system for a personal computer, and more particularly to an automatic operation system having a learning function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a series of operations such as a keyboard operation or a mouse operation and a connection operation to a personal computer communication when starting (starting up) and terminating (shutting down) a personal computer repeat the same operation each time. Needed. They are cumbersome for those who are accustomed to, and we want to omit them.
For those who are unfamiliar with the personal computer, there is a feeling of resistance to the personal computer, causing allergies to the keyboard and the personal computer. As a means for omitting these operations, an arbitrary personal computer operation command is registered in the function key of the keyboard, and a command signal registered by operating the key of the function key is input to the personal computer control circuit section or various means. Means for registering the programs as start-up programs and automatically starting those programs when the personal computer is turned on. However, even if these means are used, a series of key operations and mouse operations are required when starting up and shutting down the personal computer, omitting them all, and using only one command key to reach the target personal computer screen There was no means for reaching the device or a method for turning off the power of the personal computer after a series of necessary operations.

Further, for example, after starting a general-purpose type personal computer, a personal computer communication program is started,
There has been no means for automatically performing a series of key operations and mouse operations until the user enters a personal computer communication network and enters an ID number key or reaches a target screen. The settings when trying to perform these automatically are different for each user's personal computer, such as the arrangement of icons and various setting conditions, which are difficult for beginners and cumbersome for experienced users.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and a simple learning of a series of personal computer operations at the time of starting and shutting down the personal computer. Learn and memorize by command operation,
One-key operation of learned keys (one-time key operation) simplifies the above-mentioned PC operation by sequentially playing back a series of PC operations learned over time and automatically executing them. It is intended to provide a system in which even a beginner can easily perform the setting of.

[Means for Solving the Problem] Therefore, in the personal computer operation learning reproduction system according to the present invention, the learning start command key operation and the operation of the processing content designation key set corresponding to the content of the personal computer processing are performed. After setting the system to the learning mode, automatically learn the multiple PC operation signal data generated by a series of key operation and mouse operation that accompanies the predetermined PC processing process performed by driving the PC over time. By means of one-key operation of the processing content designation key after learning, the learned and stored personal computer operation data is reproduced over time and input to the personal computer control circuit section, and a series of personal computer drive is performed. This is to build a computer operation learning reproduction system that is automatically executed.

In the personal computer operation learning / reproduction system of the present invention, a system capable of fully automatically performing the various personal computer operations described above using the remote control console without touching the keyboard and mouse of the personal computer. It can be constructed. In addition, it is possible to build a system that uses function keys of a personal computer instead of the remote control console.
By attaching a label or the like indicating the processing content to the key, a person unfamiliar with the keyboard is encouraged to use the personal computer.

As described above, in the personal computer operation learning / reproduction system of the present invention, the unified mouse signal and keyboard signal are learned and stored / reproduced in accordance with various setting conditions and device configurations of the personal computer which differ for each user. However, it greatly simplifies PC operation.
