Abstract

PURPOSE:To input automatically instruction information again, by operating a changeover switch for deciding on whether an instruction which is frequently outputted and executed again as it is or after being corrected is inputted again or not. CONSTITUTION:For example, the part D in ''SOUND A, D, C'' is corrected. The changeover switch SW is on. An artificial voice is generated through a voicing device 4 by specifying operation. Since the SW is on, a cursor is at the point (d). An operator moves the cursor from the point (d) to a point (e) (D) with a key '' ''. Then D is correctd with a character key group AK and the display on a display device 5 is corrected. When the operator presses an execution command key CR, a corrected artificial voice is generated again by the device 4. When the operator judges that recorrection is unnecessary turns off the switch SW, a CPU2 clears the corrected instruction stored in an instruction register. Then, the cursor is moved to the next starting position (f) to return to instruction input operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field The present invention relates to electronic equipment, and particularly to electronic equipment that executes commands according to various input command information and command execution instructions.

(11) Prior Art As an example of this type of electronic equipment, there is a personal computer equipped with various functions, and various command information corresponding to the various functions is manually inputted and executed by a command execution command. In the conventional configuration, the instruction is cleared after execution is completed.3 However, depending on the functions of the computer, the instruction information may be modified and the instruction may be re-entered many times and executed incorrectly. There is information.

For example, in a personal computer equipped with a synthesizer function that generates onomatopoeic sounds such as cylinders and gunshot whistles in addition to normal music and rhythms, an onomatopoeic sound generation command is one such command.

FIG. 1 shows the display of the computer's display device. When you input rsOUND (onomatopoeic generation) A, B, C1 into a computer as a certain onomatopoeic generation command, the display will display "5OIJNDA, B, C" on line a in the figure.
This will be displayed. The cursor is displayed at the next position after the end of the command, that is, at five points in the diagram.

Next, the command is executed by inputting an execution command, and an onomatopoeic sound is generated. When it is finished, the command JSOUND A.

Although B and Cl remain on the display, they are cleared in the computer, and the cursor is moved to the beginning position of the next line, ie, point 0 in the figure.

However, the nature of onomatopoeia is that it is something that can be repeated and modified many times to bring it closer to the real sound.
Similar command with 1 plus added 1'-5 OUND...''
It is necessary to re-enter and re-execute the command many times. However, the command information for rsOUND A, B, and CJ has been cleared and the cursor has moved to the next line, so rsOUND...
The same command information must be re-entered so that it becomes "...".

In other words, in electronic equipment with the conventional configuration as described above,
When the same command is re-executed many times with modifications, etc., the same command information must be re-input the same number of times. If the number of re-executions is large, the re-input operation each time becomes a burden on the operator in terms of effort and time.

(11D Purpose) The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the effort and time it takes to re-input similar command information after the input command information is frequently re-executed. Our goal is to provide electronic equipment that eliminates the need for

Qψ Example Embodiment An example in which the present invention is applied to a personal computer with a synthesizer function (hereinafter simply referred to as computer) will be described as an example.

FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of this embodiment. What is indicated by a bow 1 is a keyboard which is an input device of a computer, and a group of input keys for each filj are arranged on the keyboard. What is indicated by the symbol AK is a group of letters, each of which corresponds to each letter of the alphabet from A to Z and each number from 0 to 9. The character key group AK is used for inputting command information, data, etc. What is indicated by the symbol FK is a group of function keys.
UNDJ key and VPLAYJ・PRINTJ-VL
It consists of an input key for each command of "Revision". Code CK
What is indicated by is a group of control keys, including a command execution command key CR for causing the computer to execute various input commands, and four keys indicated by arrows for moving the cursor and specifying the correction location of command statements, etc. cursor movement keys (
"←" key, "→" key, rtJ key, "↓" key,)
It is composed of. The arrow of the cursor movement key indicates the direction of movement of the cursor.

Furthermore, a changeover switch designated by the symbol SW is arranged on the keyboard 1-1-. Changeover switch S
W is a switch for selecting re-input of a command according to the present invention.

The keyboard 1 equipped with the above input key groups AK@FK@CK and changeover switches is a central processing unit CP.
Connected to U2.

The CPU 2 performs various signal processing based on input key signals from the keyboard 1 and controls the entire system. The CPU 2 includes an arithmetic circuit that performs various operations, a read-only storage ROM that stores programs for controlling the arithmetic circuit, an accumulator and various registers that store data processed by the arithmetic circuit, and the like. The arithmetic circuit consists of a clock pulse generation circuit, a gate circuit, an adder circuit, and other logic circuits. Note that the CPU
The instruction information input to 2 is stored in an instruction register among various registers.

What is indicated by the reference numeral 3 and connected to the CPU 2 is a storage device. The storage device 3 stores data as a result of processing by the CPU 2. For example, data on the position of a cursor indicating the position of an input character on a display screen of a display device, which will be described later, is stored in the storage device 3 by the CPU 2. Similarly, the device connected to the CPU 2 and designated by the symbol S''4 is a voice producing device, and the component designated by the symbol 5 is a display device. The voice generating device 4 is composed of an amplifier circuit, a waveform correction circuit, a speaker, etc., and generates music or onomatopoeia in response to a control signal from the CPU 2. The display device 5 receives a control signal from the CPU 2 and displays the processing results of the CPU 2.

Next, the operation of this embodiment, which has the following configuration, will be explained in Fig. 3.
This will be explained according to the fourth factor. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the control operation of the CPU 2, and FIG. 4 shows the display on the display device 5 during operation of the embodiment. In this case, rsOUUNDA is sent to the computer as a 5OUND (voice) command.
, D, After inputting and executing CJ, the command statement rsO
UND A, D, CJ cD (D "DJ (J
) is used as an example. It is assumed that the changeover switch SW is initially turned on.

In step S1, press the 5OLJND key/letter key group)°
When the instructions rsOUNDA, D, and CJ are input to the CPU 2, the CPU 2 proceeds to the next step S2, stores the instructions in the instruction register, and displays the instruction statement on the display device 5 as shown in FIG. let Further, the process proceeds to step S3, and it is determined whether or not there is an input of the command execution command key CR. If there is, it is determined as YES and the process proceeds to the next step S4. If not, it is determined as NO and the process returns to step S1. That is, as long as the command execution command key CR is not pressed, commands can be input, and it is also possible to modify commands that have already been input. When modifying a command, move the cursor to the modification location of the command displayed on the display device 5 by inputting the cursor movement keys, and then modify by inputting the letter keys AK. CR
When the cursor is pressed, the CPU 2 proceeds to step S4 and stores the cursor position data (at this point, point d indicated by the dotted rectangle in FIG. 4) in the storage device 3. Next step s
5 executes the command and generates an onomatopoeic sound via the vocalization device 4,
When this is completed, the process advances to step S6.

In step S6, the instruction executed in step S5 is [5O
It is determined whether it is an UNDJ command. Moshi rSO
If it is not an UNDJ instruction, the judgment is NO and the process branches to step S9, where the instruction information stored in the instruction register is cleared, and in the next step S10, the display cursor on the display device 5 is moved to the next line of the previous instruction statement. After moving to the top position (point f indicated by the dotted rectangle in FIG. 4), the process returns to step S1 and waits for input of a new command.

However, in this case, the instruction executed in step S5 is 5
Since it is an OUND instruction, it is determined YES in step S6 and the process proceeds to the next step S73. In step S7, it is determined whether the changeover switch is turned on. In this case, as described at the beginning, since it is ON, it is determined as YES, and the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the previous cursor storage position (point d in FIG. 4) is read from the storage device 3, and the cursor is redisplayed at that position, and step S1
Return to

In this case, the instruction is corrected again in step S1. In other words, upon hearing the positional position generated in step S5, the operator inputs the cursor movement key "←" to move the cursor leftward from point d in FIG. After that, rDJ is corrected by inputting any character key from the character key group AK. CPU2
causes the display on the display device 5 to be corrected in accordance with the input. In the next step S2, the CPU 2 stores the modified instruction information in the instruction register.

When the operator presses the command execution command key CR, the CPU 2 determines YES in step S3, and proceeds to step S3.
4, the data at the cursor position (eA in FIG. 4) is stored in the storage device 3. Further, the process advances to step S5, and the vocalization device 4 is caused to generate an onomatopoeic sound according to the modified l'-5OIJNDJ command.

In this case, it is assumed that the operator who heard the onomatopoeia decides that there is no need to make any further corrections, and switches the changeover switch from ON to OFF.

In the next step S6, the executed instruction is r'5OLJNr
) J instruction, so it is determined as YES and the process proceeds to step s7. In the next step S7, unlike the previous step, the changeover switch is set to OFF, so the CPU 2 returns N.

It is determined that this is the case, and the process proceeds to step S9. In step s9, the modified instruction stored in the instruction register is cleared. In the next step SIO, the cursor position is set to the beginning position of the next line (4th
After that, the process returns to step S1 and waits for input of new command information.

In addition, if the operator who hears the corrected onomatopoeia feels the need to make corrections again and turns the changeover switch OFF, C.
Of course, PU'2 advances the steps in the order of S7→S9→510→S1, and can be corrected and executed again.

In the following explanation, a computer with a synthesizer function is used as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can be applied to all types of electronic equipment.

(V) Effect In the electronic device according to the present invention, when an instruction that is frequently re-executed or re-executed with modification is executed, the instruction information is automatically re-inputted, so that the instruction information is automatically re-inputted. The operator's effort and time can be saved. Also, whether or not to re-enter the command is determined by a simple 0N- switch.
It can be blocked by turning OFF.
