JPS6266314A - Function key input control system for keyboard - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the specification of a necessary menu or guidance image plane by defining the attributes of individual terminal equipments through keyboard devices of the same type. CONSTITUTION:A terminal controller 1 corresponds to terminal equipment 3 and the 1st terminal equipment attribute is written in the memory of a terminal equipment 3. Then when a function key '11' in a function key group 10 on a keyboard 9 is pressed by a person in charge of operation, a data code A0011 and a defined menu screen or guidance screen are displayed. Further, the 2nd and the 3rd attributes are inputted and defined function keys are pressed to display corresponding menu screens or guidance screens.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a function key input control method for a keyboard of an electronic computer, and more particularly to a function key input control method based on the attributes of a terminal device.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when keyboard devices of the same type are used, in this type of function key input control method, the functions corresponding to individual keys on the keyboard devices have the same meaning. Therefore, if you try to display a menu screen or guidance screen with a single key operation, which means only touching a function key, there is a limit to the number of menus that can be displayed with a single key operation. The number of screens or guidance screens will be limited.

Therefore, for the above menu screens or guidance screens that cannot be displayed with a single key operation, the data code must be input using the key code to display the menu screen or guidance screen that the person in charge of business needs. .

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional medium-board function key input control method described above, there is not much of a problem when the number of menu screens or guidance screens is small.

However, if the menu screen or guidance screen is different for each terminal device attribute, the number of screens increases accordingly, making it difficult to display the final guidance screen required by the person in charge of operations with a single key operation. . Therefore, the menu screen or guidance screen is managed in a tree structure format, so the person in charge of the business must perform key operations multiple times before the final guidance screen required by the person in charge is displayed. The disadvantage is that it does not.

An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal device f attribute for each terminal device defined at the time of system generation and a function key correspondence table defined for each terminal device attribute, and to Keyboard function key input control that eliminates the above drawbacks and simplifies key operations by associating different types of menu screens or guidance screens (up to 256 types of attributes can be defined on terminal devices) The goal is to provide a method.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A function key input control method for a keyboard according to the present invention is configured by comprising a plurality of terminal devices, a table file memory corresponding to function keys, and an i, H control device. It is.

Each of the plurality of terminal devices has a vehicle, is connected to a dedicated display device and a keyboard device, and is used to perform input/output operations.

The function key correspondence table file memory is for storing a list for specifying functions of different maximum permissible types in correspondence with the attributes of a plurality of terminal devices.

The terminal control device is used to display a specific menu screen or guidance screen on the corresponding display device when one of the functions is designated from one of the keyboard devices.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a keyboard function key input control method according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a terminal control device, 2 is a function key correspondence table file memory, δ to b are the first to eighth terminal devices, respectively, and 6 to 8 are the first to eighth terminal devices, respectively.
8th display CRT, 9 keyboard (enlarged view), 10
is the keystroke section of a group of function keys.

In FIG. 1, when the display CRT 6 is powered on,
The terminal control device 1 corresponds to the terminal device S, and stores the first terminal device attribute in the memory of the first terminal device 5 according to a table in which terminal device attributes for each terminal device are defined in advance at the time of system generation. Write.

When the first terminal device attribute is written in the terminal device black memory by the terminal control device 1, the first terminal device attribute is written in the terminal device black memory in accordance with the contents of the function key correspondence table memory 2 as shown in FIG.
The terminal device δ selects only the information that corresponds to its own attributes and writes it into the memory of the first terminal device.

Thereafter, when the person in charge presses the function key % 111 of the function key group 10 on the keyboard 9, a menu screen or a guidance screen defined as data code AOOOI is displayed.

Keyboard 9 defined as the second terminal device attribute
When you press the upper function key %111, the menu screen defined as data code BOOOI,
Alternatively, a guidance screen will be displayed.

Operations are similarly performed for other terminal device attributes and other function keys.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention allows necessary menu screens or guidance screens to be easily and easily operated by defining terminal device attributes for each terminal device using the same type of keyboard device. This has the effect of allowing many specifications to be made.

Since each screen can be designated with a single operation, even an amateur can easily operate the system, and the time required to display the menu screen or guidance screen can be shortened.
