Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data entry device, and more particularly to a data entry device for inputting and storing the same data, such as the date of birth of a family register, into a plurality of fields.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, a data entry device has been used for inputting family register data. In the system configuration of the data entry device, emphasis is placed on how to quickly and accurately input a large amount of data. In particular, in family register data, it is important that a correct date is input for an item for which the same date is input, such as a date of birth. However, in the conventional data entry device, when the same date data is input to a plurality of fields of a record, there is no date check function, so that an incorrectly input date is erroneously input, resulting in an incorrect data entry. There was a problem.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a data entry device capable of accurately inputting the same data to a plurality of fields of a record. And

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a data entry apparatus for inputting and storing the same data in a plurality of fields. A buffer (input buffer), and a second buffer (check buffer) for storing data of the first buffer when input to the field is completed, and a first buffer for inputting data in the next field. Is compared with the data in the second buffer, and when they do not match, the data in the second buffer is replaced with the data in the first buffer, and the data in the first buffer is stored as entry data.

In such a configuration, the data input to the next field can be the same as the data input to the previous field, and the same data can be input to a plurality of fields exactly. Become.

According to the present invention, a verify mode is provided, and a third buffer (temporary storage buffer) for storing data input to a field at the time of verification is provided. When data in the first or second buffer at the time of data entry is different from data in the third buffer, there is a possibility that either of them is incorrect. Therefore,
In such a case, the data in the third buffer is stored in the second buffer, and the verify input again is performed in the second and third buffers.
Until the data in the buffers of the two match. When the two data match, the data is stored as being correct. This verify mode guarantees a more reliable data entry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a data entry device for inputting data such as a family register according to the present invention. In FIG.
Data such as the date of birth is processed in the data entry device main body 2. The main body 2 is a CPU that controls the entire flow
2a, a ROM 2b for storing input programs and the like, a RAM 2c for storing data such as records, and various buffers 2d to 2f.

The input buffer 2d stores date data input from the keyboard 1, and the check buffer 2e stores data for checking the data stored in the input buffer. The temporary storage buffer 2f is a buffer for storing date data input at the time of verification. Data processed data,
While being displayed on a display device 3 such as a CRT, the RAM 2
c is temporarily stored in the form of a record, and finally stored as data on an external disk (not shown).

Next, the input flow of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, as shown in step S 1, when a date entry field is reached in a data entry such as a family register, a birth date is entered via the keyboard 1. If the birth date is, for example, “October 10, 1907”, the operator simply inputs “M101010”. At this time, by pressing a predetermined function key, the input program converts the date into “Meiji year and month” and stores it in the input buffer 2d.

In step S2, when it is determined that the input has been completed, and the process exits the field, step S3
Store the data in the input buffer 2d in the check buffer 2e.

Next, in step S4, it is determined whether or not the next date field has been reached. If there is no date field, the birth date data in the input buffer is stored in the RAM 2c as field data in step S5.
End date input. On the other hand, if there is a next date field, a date is input as in step S1, and this is stored in the input buffer 2d (step S6).

When it is determined in step S7 that the input of the birth date field has been completed, the function key is pressed to check the input in step S8. Then the current birth date field data,
That is, the data in the input buffer 2d and the data in the previous birth date field, that is, the check buffer 2e
(Step S9).

If they do not match, an error message is displayed in step S10, and in step S11, by pressing the rewrite function key, the data in the check buffer 2e is stored in the input buffer 2d as correct data. Then, in step S12, the data in the input buffer is
Store in AM.

In step S9, both buffers 2d and 2d
If it is determined that the data of e matches, the data of the input buffer is similarly stored as field data in step S12. Then, step S4
And the same processing is repeated.

The above processing is based on the premise that the birth date input in step S1 is correct. Usually, in the data entry, there is an operator who performs verification (verification), and a double check is performed. FIG. 3 shows the flow of the verify mode, in which the same birth date data is input at the time of verify input, and the data is input to the input buffer 2.
The data is not stored in d but in the temporary storage buffer 2f for verification (step S20).

If it is determined in step S21 that the input of the date of birth has been completed, step S22
It is determined whether the data in the input buffer 2d at the time of entry matches the data in the temporary storage buffer 2f. If they match, it means that both the operator who made the data entry and the operator who performed the verification input the same data, and the verification is terminated assuming that the input of the birth date data was correct.

On the other hand, if the comparisons in step S22 do not match, there is a possibility that any of the data is erroneous, and the data in the temporary storage buffer 2f is stored in the check buffer 2e in step S23. And
In step S24, the same birth date data is input again, and it is stored in the temporary storage buffer 2f.
At 25, it is determined whether the data in the temporary storage buffer 2f and the data in the check buffer 2e match. If they match, the input at the time of verification (which has been performed twice) is correct and the input at the time of data entry is incorrect, so that in step S26, the birth date field already stored at the time of data entry Is replaced with the data in the check buffer.

On the other hand, if there is a mismatch at step S25, it means that the two verify inputs at the time of verification do not match.
Step 25 is repeated until the input at the time of verification matches twice.

In this way, if the input data at the time of data entry and the input data at the time of verification do not match, verification is performed until the input data matches twice, so that finally the birth date data is correct. Can be entered.

In FIG. 2, the input is performed assuming that the input data in the first field is correct.
When the input data of the first field and the input data of the second field do not match (N branch of step S9), the operation enters the verify mode of FIG. I do. This enables reliable data input.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, when data is input in the next field, the data in the first buffer (input buffer) and the data in the previous field are stored in the second buffer (check buffer). ) Are compared, and if they do not match, the data in the second buffer is
, And the data in the first buffer is stored as entry data, so that the same data can be input to a plurality of fields exactly.
