Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data input device, and more particularly to a data input device that can guide an operator through input items.

Conventionally, data input devices are equipped with data input items and lamps corresponding to the input items, and the operator is guided to the items to be input by sequentially lighting the lamps.

In this case, it is necessary to display input items corresponding to the least common multiple, install a lamp, and perform operations for the operator to specify the work content.

As a result, the entire device became expensive, and even when processing tasks with a minimum number of items, users had to select and operate from among a large number of display items, which gave the impression that it was extremely difficult to see when making a selection. .

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a data input device in which display items are easy to see and costs can be reduced.

The present invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of this device.

In FIG. 1, a guide mechanism 3 is installed on the top of a desk 1. By inserting an input guide card (hereinafter simply referred to as a human power card) 2, the items entered on the human power card can be sequentially illuminated and designated. There is.

Input cards 2 corresponding to orders, shipping corrections, order cancellations, transfers, acceptances, etc., are prepared for each manual task, and each input card 2... Detection holes 4 are formed at different positions in the lower part.

That is, to explain the order business card shown in FIG. 2 as an example of the input card 2, items such as customer 2a, own warehouse 2b, etc. are recorded in the left column, and items such as customer 2a, own warehouse 2b, etc. are recorded in the right column. The input data contents corresponding to each item are input to the central processing unit, that is, CP, as shown in Figure 4.
It is designed to be recalled and recorded from the memory 10 via U9.

Next, the guide mechanism 3 is provided with cutout grooves 3a and 3b for guiding both side edges of the input card 2, and a cutout groove 3c that engages with the lower end of the human power card 2, and the input card 2 The light emitting elements 5 and the light receiving elements 6 corresponding to the number of columns printed in the column, the card detection section 7 that detects the human-powered card 2 inserted through the notch grooves 3a and 3b, and the guide mechanism 3. For example, each column on the left side lights up to indicate that data has been entered, and if the input data is completed or the highlighted item is not required, the user can press the "Confirm button" (not shown) to move on to the next column. It is composed of lamps 8a, 8b, 8c, . . . , 8n that illuminate to provide guidance.

Next, FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of this device.

In the figure, a light emitting element 5 provided at the bottom of the guide mechanism 3...
A detection hole 4 formed at the bottom of the input card 2 allows the light emitted from the
. . . and reaches the light receiving element 6 .
9 and stored in memory 10.

At the same time, the CPU 9 first lights up the lamp 8a provided in the first row on the left side of the guide mechanism 3 via the lamp lighting circuit 11, and based on the correspondence table 12, the data input unit 13
After inputting data via the interface 14, by pressing a "confirmation button" (not shown), the lamp 8b on the second line is illuminated to provide guidance.

Incidentally, FIG. 3 shows an example of the expanded correspondence table 12, so that the details of data to be inputted according to the business contents are shown.

Next, the operation of the present invention based on the above configuration will be explained.

Now, an operator inserts, for example, the illustrated manual card 2 for order business into the notch groove 3 of the guide mechanism 3 via the notch grooves 3a and 3b.
Insert into c.

Then, the card detection unit 7 provided at the lower part of the guide mechanism 3 uses the light emitting element 5 and the light receiving element 6 to read the detection hole 4 .・Judge the business name based on the position.

Therefore, the operator retrieves the data from the memory 10 in which the business name, input items, number of digits, and other input data contents are registered in correspondence, and waits for data to be input.

Next, after the operator inputs data in the column of the first line using the data manual section 13, the operator presses a specific button, that is, a "confirmation button" to notify the device that the input in the column of the first line is complete. Can be done.

In this way, when the device detects the input of the "confirm button", the lit lamp 8a advances by one and the lamp 8b
At the same time as lighting up, it is possible to wait for data input for the next item.

That is, in the invention of the present application, simply by selecting the manual card 2 for each industry on which the necessary business details are printed and inserting it into the guidance mechanism 3, the inserted input card is detected and the items to be input are sequentially guided. It has the advantage of being extremely easy to operate because it is lit up and displayed.

As explained above, the present invention prepares various manual guidance cards based on the business content to be input, and by inserting the desired input guidance card into the guidance mechanism, the items are sequentially lit and displayed to specify the manual input of the data. This makes it extremely easy to operate, allows display of items for a large number of tasks in an easy-to-read format, and has excellent effects such as lower costs.
