Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a code input function with satisfactory operability for each inputter who is not accustomed to operate a device or veteran by controlling whether the primary code row inputted is displayed or not in accordance with the input speed of the inputter. CONSTITUTION:''1'' is set on the primary code row display flag and check an input counter 4 is checked. If there is the input code, one code is fetched from the input memory 3 and the input counter is set as ''-1''. As a result, when the input counter is ''0'', the primary code row display flag is checked because there are no process-limited codes, and when the counter is ''1'', the primary code is set to the primary code row display register 8 and the contents are displayed. On the other hand, when the input counter is not ''0'' as the primary code, which is inputted at high speed, is not processed, and therefore, the primary code row display flag is set as ''0'' and the mode which does not display the contents of the primary code is established.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a code input device for a computer, etc., which stores a code input from a keyboard as a primary code string in an input memory, and stores the contents of the manual memory. Searches the code conversion table as a key, converts it into a desired secondary code string and stores it in the storage device, and also provides a display device that displays the contents of the manually input primary code and the contents of the secondary code that is the result of the conversion. Relating to a human-powered device equipped with

[Back of the invention] The codes input from the keyboard are stored in the heka memory as a primary code string, and when the number of codes F5r5i is input or a predetermined key is manually pressed, the primary code input up to that point is stored. This type of input device searches the code conversion table according to the code string and displays the corresponding secondary code.This type of input device displays the primary code string, which is the contents of the input memory, and also erases the primary code string after converting it to the secondary code string. It is generally configured to include a display device that displays the secondary code string that is the conversion result, so that a human operator can easily confirm the input content and the conversion result. This has the great effect of being able to check input codes sequentially while inputting, allowing users with average operating speeds to identify input errors immediately; however, for experienced high-speed input users, the display and There is a drawback that the input code is ignored because the control unit cannot respond even when a key is actually pressed due to the conversion processing time.

Therefore, there is also a device that is equipped with an input control section independent of the conversion processing section, stores all input codes in a hekamemory, and when the conversion processing section finishes its processing, sequentially fetches the primary code string from the input memory and converts it. be. However, even with this device, there is a time delay from the time the input is entered on the keyboard until it is actually displayed and converted, which causes a significant decrease in operability for the inputter. Since columns are displayed and erased, the display image flickers, which puts a lot of strain on the eyes.

[Purpose of the invention]

An object of the present invention is to control whether or not to display a primary code string according to the input speed of the input person, that is, to display the primary code string in the case of slow input, and to display the primary code in the case of high speed input. By controlling the column so that it is not displayed, users who type at low speeds can check the entered primary code string without having to do it manually, while those who input at high speeds can achieve fast response and reduce eye fatigue. The present invention aims to provide a code input device with good operability that can accommodate the input speeds of various input users.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention includes an input control unit that stores a second code inputted from a keyboard in an input memory, and a storage device that searches a code conversion table according to the second code string and converts it into a desired second code string. In the input device having a conversion processing unit stored in the input device, the primary code content display control means controls whether or not the content of the next code is displayed on the display device depending on the number of codes of the primary Gordian string stored in the human memory. It has been established.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a Japanese word processor will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a Japanese sword processor. ■ is a keyboard operated by a human operator. Reference numeral 2 denotes an input control section which reads the code of a key pressed on the keyboard 1 and sets it in the input memory 3, as well as counts up an input counter 4. 5 is a conversion processing unit which takes in the code input from the input memory 3, converts it into a secondary code string by referring to the code conversion table 6 as a -next code string, and stores it in the storage device 7; Further, the -next code string display flag is set, and codes are set in the -next code string display register 8 and the secondary code string display register 9.

10 is a display control unit, - next code string display register 8
and the contents of the secondary code string display register 9 are displayed on the display device 1.
This is shown in 2.

The processing contents of the human control section 2 and the conversion processing section 5 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

FIG. 2 is a processing flow of the input control section 2. First, in process 100, the input counter 4 is cleared to zero, and the process moves to process 101, where a key on the keyboard 1 is pressed. When the key is pressed, the process moves to process 102 (9) and the code is stored in the input memory 3, and the process moves to process 103 where the manual counter 4 is incremented by +1.
After that, return to process 101 and attend the next key force.

FIG. 3 is a processing flow of the conversion processing section 5. First, process Z
Process 201 after setting the primary code string display flag to “1” in OO to enter the mode for displaying the contents of the primary code.
Then, check the input counter 4. If there is an input code, the process moves to process 202, where the code 19 inputted first is fetched from the human memory 3, and the process moves to process 203, where the human power counter 4 is incremented by "1". Next, in step 204, the input color/re 4 is ticked again, and if the input counter 4 is "O", there is no input code waiting to be processed, so the process moves to step 205, and the primary code string display flag is checked. As a result, if the next code string display flag is "work", the process moves to process 206 and the imported primary code is stored in the primary code string display register 8.
Set to . If the -4 code string display flag is "no" in process 205, it is not set. On the other hand, if the input counter 4 is not "01" in process 204, the primary code manually entered at high speed remains unprocessed. Therefore, the process moves to step 207 and the primary code string display footer is
" - Sets the mode in which the contents of the next code are not displayed. Next, in step 208, it is determined whether the primary code string has become a conversion unit. If it has not become a conversion unit, the next input is imported. Returning to the start process 201, when the conversion unit is reached, the process moves to process 209 to search the code conversion table 6 according to the imported primary code string and convert it into a secondary code string.

After setting the converted secondary code string in the secondary code string display register 9 in step 210, J! The Li 211 stores the secondary code string in the storage device 7, and the process 212 clears the primary code string display register 8. Then, the process returns to process 200 at the beginning of the flow to process the next input code string.

The display control unit 10 displays the contents of the code strings set in the -next code string display register 8 and the secondary code string display register 9 on the display device 2! It is something that

A specific display example of 2'':) according to the above technique will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

In the first specific example shown in Figure 4, kana, kanji, and memory As shown in Figure 4, when the next code 300, ``口'', is entered on the keyboard 1, it is temporarily stored, and then ``HA'' is entered. '' is entered manually, the two-stroke dictionary is searched in the code conversion table 6, and it is converted into the secondary code 30'1, ``tada'', which corresponds to the second chord string ``guchi'' and ``ha''. Here, the conversion unit is fixed at two primary code characters.

For general input users, the input speed is about 40 strokes/minute, with an average of 1.5 seconds/stroke. Therefore, the contents of the primary code are displayed every 1.5 seconds on average, and the contents of the secondary code are displayed every 3 seconds on average, and the primary code string is erased. This speed is enough to be followed by general processing devices and display devices using microprocessors etc.
, there is no delay in response to input, and there is little eye fatigue due to repeated display and deletion.

However, in the case of a trained inputter, 400 to 500 strokes/
It reaches the quintile at an average time of 0.12 to 0.15 seconds/stroke. It is extremely difficult to perform conversion processing without delay at this input speed, and the frequent display and deletion causes significant eye fatigue. Furthermore, the contents of the primary code, which is repeatedly displayed and erased at such a high speed, cannot be recognized by the human eye.

It is determined whether or not it is a high-speed input based on the number of primary codes stored in the heka memory 3.
If the second stroke ``ha'' has already been input when the conversion processing unit 5 imports the word ``ha'', it immediately converts it into the secondary code without displaying the ``mouth''``ha'' in the -next chord string. By moving to the conversion process and displaying only ``tada'', which is the content of the secondary code, an input device with excellent responsiveness and less strain on the eyes can be realized.

Next, as a second specific example, an example of an input method in which input is made in Roman characters and converted into kana will be explained in FIG. 400 (7) rk, J [
According to the input primary code string yJ raJ, the Roman dictionary which is the code conversion table 6 for A and K is searched and converted to the secondary code 401 "Kya". Here, the conversion unit is usually raJ [1JruJ reJ ro, J
This is until the vowel character of is input. In general Japanese word processors, this secondary code string converted into a kana character string is further converted into a third code string, a kanji-kana-mixed character string, through a kana-kanji conversion process, but the technique of kana-kanji perversion This is already well known, and only the technique for converting a primary code string into a synchronized code string will be shown here.

As in the case of the two-stroke single input method described above, in this specific example as well, the value of the input counter 4 is checked at the time when the conversion processing unit 5 inputs the input code, which is the primary code string, from the input memory 3. By controlling whether or not to display the next hood, it is possible to realize an input device that has excellent responsiveness and does not put strain on the eyes.

It should be noted that even for high-speed input users, when they feel an input error and have to check the input code, the input is interrupted, so there is no primary code waiting to be processed in the manual memory 3, and the input code counter 4 becomes 0. The contents of the next code will be displayed, so you can check it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to control whether or not to display the input primary code string according to the input speed of the inputter. You can input while checking the column contents. On the other hand, for skilled input users, during high-speed input, the contents of the secondary code, which is the conversion result, can be checked at high speed, making it possible to provide an input device with very good responsiveness.
