DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an information input device, and particularly to an information input device suitable for inputting data such as characters and numbers.

Contents of Disclosure] This specification and drawings describe an information input device particularly suitable for inputting data such as characters and numbers, including a register for inputting input data, and a register for storing input data in the register by inputting a predetermined key. data output means for outputting data; data storage means for storing data stored in the register by inputting the predetermined key; and data storage means for storing data stored in the data storage means by inputting the call key into the register. The present invention discloses a technology for an information input device that is equipped with a data reproducing means for reading out data, thereby making effective use of the data input just before, thereby improving the efficiency of data input work.

The present specification and drawings also describe a register that stores input data, a selection device that determines whether or not to save the data stored in the register, and a device that outputs the data stored in the register by inputting a predetermined key. data output means; data storage means for storing the data stored in the register according to the state of the selection means upon input of the predetermined key; and data storage means for storing the data stored in the data storage means upon input of the call key. By providing a data reproducing means for reading data into the register, it is possible to reuse useful previously input data, thereby reducing data input work 11! This invention discloses a technology for an information input device that improves the processing rate.

L. Prior Art Conventionally, since data input work is indispensable for information processing, improving the efficiency of input work has been one of the important issues. Especially now that data input terminal devices have become widespread, the effect of improving work efficiency can be said to be remarkable. Now, when inputting data using this type of device, one thing to notice is that in reality, the input data does not always change, and that it is possible to input data that is the same as the previous or previous input data. This means that there are many cases where it is repeated. However, conventional devices of this type do not take this point into consideration, and the user has to input data from the beginning even if the data is the same.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and aims to solve the disadvantage that data that has already been input cannot be easily used. This is what I am trying to do.

Means for Solving Problem E] In order to solve this problem, for example, in FIG. a data output means for outputting the data stored in the line register 11 to a host computer (not shown), and a data storage means for storing the data stored in the line register 11 in the storage register 12 by inputting the predetermined key. and data reproducing means for reading data stored in the storage register 12 into the line register by inputting a call key.

In addition, in order to save only useful data, (2) the line register 11 is further provided with a selection switch 6 that determines whether or not to save the data stored in the line register 11 .

[Operation j] With this configuration (1), previous input data is saved regardless of whether or not it can be reused, so that it can always be reused, thereby improving data input work efficiency!
Provided is an information input device that can be improved.

Furthermore, by adding the above-mentioned configuration (2) and storing only useful input data among the preceding input data, an information input device that can always be reused and improves the work wB rate of data input is provided. .

Embodiment L Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic front view of the key input terminal device of the embodiment.
In the figure, l is the main body of the device, 2 is the display that displays one line of input data, 3 is the keyboard for data stamina, and 4 is the enter key that delimits data input, or you can use the normal line feed key instead. The reason for this is that the line feed key is often used to determine the boundaries of data input. 5 is a repeat key that calls up saved data, 6 is a mode key that determines whether or not to save data, 15
is an LED that informs the operator whether data can be saved or not.
It's a lamp. Here, each time the mode key 6 is pressed, the state is toggled between storable and unstorable, and the LED 1 5 lights up in the storable state.

@Figure 1 is IF! FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the key human power device of FIG. 2; Components that are the same as those in FIG. 2 are given the same numbers and their explanations are omitted. In FIG. A ROM stores procedures, and the CPU operates according to the contents to perform key manual processing. 9 is a RAM that stores key manual data, etc.! O is a serial interface that transfers key manual data to a host computer (not shown).

Further, block 9 shows various functions realized on the RAM. Reference numeral 11 denotes a line register that stores and holds one line of key manual data, and the contents of the register 11 are always sent to the display unit 2 via the line 100 and displayed. Also, when the enter key 4 is pressed, the line register 11
The contents of are sent to serial interface 10 via line 103. This is to send data to the host computer. Reference numeral 12 denotes a storage register that stores the contents of the line register 11 upon input of the enter key 4. However, mode flag (MF) 14 can be set by operating mode key 6.
The condition is that it is turned on. A pointer (P) 13 holds the latest input data address stored in the line register 11, and the contents of the pointer 13 are initialized by inputting the enter key 4.

FIG. 183 is a flowchart showing the key manual processing procedure of the embodiment. In step S1, the system waits for a keystroke. If there is a keystroke, the process advances to step S2, where it is checked whether or not the enter key 4 has been input. If the normal data key is manually operated, the judgments in steps 3.2 to S4 are not satisfied, and the process proceeds to step S5. Return to step S1. Further, if the data key is not manually operated, the corresponding process is performed. That is, when it is determined in step S2 that the enter key is manually operated, the process proceeds to step S8, and it is checked whether the mode flag MF is ON. When it is 0゛N, it indicates that storage is possible, and the line register 11 is set in step S9.
The contents of are stored in the storage register 12. If it is not ON, it indicates that storage is not possible, and the process of step S9 is not executed.In this way, the operator can save useful data and avoid saving unuseful data. In step 510, the contents of the line register 11 are sent to the serial interface 10 to input the data to the host computer, and after sending, the contents of the line register 11 are cleared.

When it is determined in step S3 that the repeat key is manually operated, the process advances to step S7, and the contents of the storage register 12 are transferred to the line register 11 via the line 102.

If it is determined in step S4 that the mode key is manually operated, the process proceeds to step S6, where the mode flag MF is inverted.

Although this embodiment describes the case where the mode key 6 is provided, this key may not be provided.

In this way, the immediately preceding key input data is unconditionally saved for each enter key input, so no special operation is required.In reality, this is useful because the immediately preceding data is often repeated.

"L effect" As described above, according to the present invention, the last input data is automatically saved without any special operation, so the same data string can be easily reproduced when necessary, and input work can be simplified. Efficiency is greatly improved.

Further, according to the present invention, since it is possible to select whether to save or not, earlier useful data will not be erased by later input data.
