Abstract

PURPOSE:To input an external character with high operation efficiency and less malfunction, by providing a character display device with a registration part for an external character code and a code converting part to convert a keyed code into the external character code. CONSTITUTION:At the input of external characters, keys 7-1, 7-2 on a keying device 6 are combined to decide keys to output a registration signal and a registration releasing signal. The key outputting the registration signal is depressed at first, then a fixed key out of the keys 7-1 to change the registered signal into an external character is depressed. The registration signal and code conversion signal outputted from the input device 6 are inputted to a code conversion part 3 in a character display device 1. The conversion part 3 stores the registration signal and the external character code in a registration part 4 and sends the contents to a display controlling part 2. The control part 2 displays a character corresponding to each code of a character generating device built in the part 3 on a fixed position of a display tube 5. Consequently, the external character code can be inputted with less malfunction.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technique of the Invention Minute Hand This invention relates to a method for inputting a custom character code by keystroke input, which performs custom character processing in a character display device that inputs custom characters using a manual keystroke device.

(To) Background of the Technology Many character display devices with keystroke input devices are used as input/output devices in electronic computer systems. It is often done to perform non-standard character processing.

(0) Prior Art and Problems Conventionally, custom character processing is performed by reading a code table and inputting the custom characters as codes, but the required keystrokes are also changed to keystrokes that output the custom character code.

A method is adopted in which the keystrokes are set to 11 and the code conversion circuit is changed. In any of the above methods, it is not only difficult to carry out efficiently at the time of appointment, but also because the operator cannot see the changed contents, so it is necessary to always clearly write down the contents, and it is necessary to keep the specified documents. Another drawback is that care must be taken to avoid erroneous operations during operation.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention provides a method for inputting custom character codes that is easy to operate and reduces errors in operation by allowing custom character processing to be registered in the current keystrokes and displaying the registered contents on a character display device. The purpose is to provide

(θ) Structure of the Invention Briefly stated, the present invention provides a registration unit that registers a non-standard character code in a character display device and a code conversion unit that converts the keystroke code into a non-standard character code through registration processing, and presses a required keystroke. This is achieved by registering the external characters using the external character code and displaying the characters based on the external character code on the screen of the character display device.

(f) Embodiment of the Invention The figure is a block diagram of an embodiment of the external character code input method to which the present invention is applied, in which l is a character display device, 2Vi display control unit, 8 is a code conversion unit, and 4 is a registration unit. Department,
5 is a display tube, 6 is a keystroke input device, and 7-t and 7-2 are keystrokes, respectively. Keystrokes when entering external characters on the keystroke input device 6? -1 and 7-2 are combined to determine the keystrokes that output the registration signal and deregistration signal. Of course, the same effect can be achieved even if the registration and deregistration keystrokes are provided separately. A description will be given assuming that a keystroke that is relatively infrequently used among the keystrokes 7-1 is changed to a custom character. To enter a custom character, first press the key that generates the registration signal, then use the nail key to change to the custom character? For example, in -1, press I and type the custom character code based on the custom character code table? -1 and 7-2t- and press down.

The signal group output from the key input device ie is input to the code converter 3 of the character display device l. When the code conversion section 8 detects the Toi green signal in the received signal, it sends a 117-1 bowl code to the registration section 4.

The display controller 2 stores characters and external character codes and sends the stored contents to the display controller 2. The display controller 2 displays characters corresponding to each code of the built-in character generator on the display surface of the display tube 5, for example, in the right F corner. be. The subsequent operation is the same as that of a general keystroke input device, and when the next keystroke j+ is pressed, the corresponding custom character code is searched in the registration section 4, the code is converted, and the required custom character is displayed on the display screen. The above-described deregistration signal is used to deregister the six different registration units 4.

Although Akira explained the above h using a keystroke bowl, it goes without saying that any type of keystroke or a plurality of keystrokes may be used without any problem.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, the processed characters are always displayed on the screen of the character deinebray device, and the key input device can be used while confirming them, resulting in improved operability.<-1! It becomes a method for inputting custom character codes with fewer operational errors, and is highly effective in processing custom characters.
