Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field The present invention relates to an information processing device. In particular, the present invention relates to a command device for inputting operator commands to an information processing device including, for example, an electronic computer, a control device, a robot, and the like.

For rice use 3 Conventionally, when giving various commands to an information processing device, the instructions were input in a language and format appropriate for the device model. When setting a method for explaining instructions to be input by the operator and how to input the instructions, it is preferable to do so depending on the degree to which the operator is familiar with using the command device and the degree of understanding.

If the operator is accustomed to using the system, input efficiency will be poor if the command method is too detailed and polite. On the other hand, if the operator is not familiar with the command, the highly efficient command method will not allow the operator to understand what to command. If the operator inputs a command, a detailed explanation can be obtained from the device's manual, but the command method is not changed, so if the operator cannot understand the command, the device cannot be used.

OBJECTS It is an object of the present invention to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art and to provide a command device that can change the command method according to the operator's experience level.

Configuration In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an input means for an operator to input input data, an output means for displaying output data to the operator, and a human power means and an output means to control the human power means and the output means to cause the operator to input input data. The command control means includes a command control means and a command execution means for executing commands from the command control means, and the command control means has a storage means for storing a plurality of command methods, and the command control means has a storage means for storing a plurality of command methods, and the input data can be efficiently inputted from the storage means. The system retrieves the command methods in order and causes the operator to input input data, and when the operator does not input input data for a predetermined time or inputs incorrect input data, a command method that is easier for the operator to understand is retrieved from the storage means. A feature of this system is that it allows the operator to input input data. Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given based on one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment of the command device according to the present invention basically includes an input device 2 through which an operator inputs commands and data, and an input device 2 that displays various output data such as system status and inquiry data to the operator. It consists of an output device 4 for executing commands, a command control device 6 for controlling a command execution device 8 based on commands and data input from the input device 2, and a command execution device 8 for executing commands.

The input wave 2i2 has a keyboard on the wood flow side for inputting instructions and data. The output device 4 has a display for displaying output data and/or a printing device for printing it. The command control device 6 is the input device 2
It controls the command execution device 8 in response to commands from the input device 2, displays an input prompt for the operator on the output device 4, and interprets the operator's instructions input from the input device 2 in response.

The command execution device 8 actually executes the command. The command execution device i8 includes a functional execution part of an information processing device such as an electronic computer, a control device, and a robot.

The command control device 6 has a plurality of display data blocks 10 as shown in FIG. 2, and the plurality of display data blocks 10 correspond to each of several kinds of command methods. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the first display data block 10 is for command input, the next display data block 10 is for input by menu selection, and the third display data block 10 is for graphical display, and the command method is input by mouse. Each corresponds to the other.

In the case of command input, for example, "What do you want to transport?" is displayed as an input prompt, to which the operator inputs "bolt".

In the case of input by menu selection, the input prompt is, for example, "What do you want to transport? 1.Porto 2.Natsuto"
Please enter the corresponding number. " is displayed, and the operator inputs rlJ in response.

If a diagram is displayed and input is performed using a mouse, an input prompt such as "What do you want to transport? Please move the mouse to the corresponding diagram and press the mouse button" is displayed, along with this as shown in Figure 4. A diagram of bolts and nuts will be displayed. In response to this, the operator moves the mouse to the bolt diagram and presses the mouse button to input.

In this way, a plurality of display data blocks 10 correspond to different command methods, and are arranged in order from those that are difficult for the operator to understand but are efficient to those that are easy to understand.

These display data blocks IO have a pointer 12 pointing to the next display data block 10.

The display data block 10 also has an input prompt display procedure 14, input prompt display data IB. The input prompt display data IB includes a data section that shows data paired with a number, a pre-part that asks, for example, "What do you want to transport?" and a section that asks "Enter the corresponding number," as shown in Figure 5. It consists of a bottom section with instructions such as "Please do this."

The display data block 10 further includes an input procedure 18;
It has an input data attribute 20 and an input data interpretation procedure 22. The input procedure 18 is, for example, a procedure for inputting from a keyboard, and the input data attribute 20 is, for example, a number from 1 to 2 in the case of input by the menu selection described above. The input data interpretation procedure 22 is a procedure for obtaining data corresponding to the input number, for example, in the case of input by the menu selection described above.

The operation of this apparatus will be explained with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 to 9.

First, pointer 12 points to display data block lO.
reads the value of and extracts the first display data block 10 (100), then extracts the input prompt display procedure 14 from this display data block 10 (102).
, The input prompt is displayed in the output bag 2!4 using the input prompt display data 1B in the display data block 10 (104). The display of the input prompt is, for example, the input prompt display data 1B as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 7, first display the question "What do you want to transport?" in the pre-part data 1040), and then display the data part number and data as a pair 1042).
, and further displays an instruction "Please enter the corresponding number" for the boss section data (1044).

Next, the input procedure 18 of the display data block IO is extracted (10B). The reading of the input procedure 18 is performed by the operator inputting from the keyboard (1080), as shown in FIG.

In the input procedure, after setting a counter (not shown) (108), the system enters an input wait based on the input procedure 18 (110). If there is no input, the counter set before entering the input wait is set (110). It counts down the time until the operator inputs a command (112), and determines whether the count has reached 0 (114). If the count does not reach 0, it returns to step 110 and waits for input again. to go into.

When the count reaches 0, the value of the pointer 12 in the display data block 10 pointing to the next display data block 10 is retrieved and checked, and the presence or absence of the next display data block 10 is determined (11B). If there is no next display data block 10, return to step 108 and check the counter again for the 0th display data block lO.
If there is, extract the next display data block lO (118), and return to step 102 and extract the incoming prompt display procedure 14 from the next display data block 10 (102), which is different from the previous display data block lO. Command control is performed using the command method.

If there is an input in step 110, extract the human data attribute 20 of the display data block 12.
0), the actual input data is input data attribute 20
Determine whether the conditions shown in (122) are met.
The condition shown in the input data attribute 20 is, for example, a number from 1 to 2, and it is determined whether the input data is a number from 1 to 2 or not.

If the conditions shown in the input data attribute 20 are not met, it is regarded as an input error, and the process proceeds to step 116, where the value of the pointer 12 in the display data block 10 pointing to the next display data block 10 is retrieved and checked, and the next display data block 10 is checked. Determine the presence or absence of the display data block 10 (11B). If the conditions shown in the input data attribute 20 are met, it is determined that there is no input error, and the input data interpretation procedure 22 in the 1 display data block IO is read out, and this interpretation procedure is executed. The input data is converted based on (124).

The input data interpretation procedure 22 first obtains the data of the number corresponding to the input number from the table of the manual prompt display data 16, as shown in FIG. 9, for example (+240). For example, if the operator inputs 1, the number 1 corresponds to volts, so the input data is converted to volts. Based on this converted data, a command is issued to the command execution bag 2!18 (12B).

In this way, the commands from the input device 2 are controlled and output to the command execution device 8 through a question and answer session with the operator.

For comparison with this embodiment, the operation of the conventional command control device will be explained using the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the command and control device displays an input prompt on the output device (200), and displays, for example, "What do you want to transport?" as the input prompt. After displaying the input prompt, wait for command input from the operator (202)
, when there is an input, it is determined whether it is a help command for adjusting the command method etc. 204)
, if it is a help command, the command method is displayed on the output device (208).

If it is not a help command, it is checked whether there is an error in the input (208), and if there is an error, a message indicating that the input is incorrect is displayed on the output device (
210) If there is no error and the input is correct, it is received as a command and processed to be transmitted to the command execution device.

In such a command method, an explanation of the command method can be displayed if the operator's command is incorrect or if the operator inputs help, but it is not possible to change the command method as in this example. Therefore, if the operator cannot understand the command system, for example, how to answer the question "What do you want to transport?", it will never be possible to command. Can not.

On the other hand, according to this embodiment, if the operator does not make any input when he or she cannot understand the command method, the counter counts the time, and when a predetermined time elapses, the next display data block is displayed. is read out and changed to a command method that is easier to understand. Furthermore, even if the operator makes an incorrect input, the command method is changed to a more easily understandable command method. If the changed command method still cannot be understood by the operator, the method is changed to a method that is easier to understand.

Therefore, if the operator is not familiar with
Since commands can be input by changing to an easier command method, there is no longer a problem where you cannot give a command even if you do not know how to respond, as was the case in the past.

If the operator is accustomed to using the system, he or she will be able to understand the initial command method, and therefore be able to input commands using the initial command method without changing the command method, which is efficient.

According to this embodiment, since the command method can be changed flexibly, it is possible to easily realize an easy-to-use command method that matches the device.

Furthermore, since the command system with a simple explanation and the command system that is easy to understand in detail are automatically changed based on the operation of the command device by the operator, the operator does not need to instruct the change of the command system.

Effects According to the present invention, when the operator does not make an input or makes an incorrect input, the command system is changed to a command method that is easier to understand. Therefore, if the operator is not accustomed to using the system, he or she can input commands by changing to an easier command method.

Furthermore, if the operator is accustomed to using the system, commands can be input using the first command method, which is efficient.
