[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to inputting information to computers and information recording devices and constructing databases, and particularly when the content of information is multi-item, two-layered, and complex. Simple information.

The present invention relates to an information input support device for quickly and properly inputting information.

(Prior Art) In general, inputting information into computers and information recording devices is mainly done by inputting characters and symbols using a keyboard, and it takes time and effort to input a large amount of information, especially kanji information. This was a huge hindrance to database construction, etc.

Therefore, we decided to convert information into keywords and quantify keywords (
It has been proposed to simplify keyboard input by using numbering), and it has been proposed to simply input keywords using a mark sheet using an OCR (optical character reader) device or the like.

However, these keywords, code numbers (numeric values)
Keyboard input using ``keywords'' and the like uses a correspondence table between character information and keywords, so it takes time and effort to select the keywords and code numbers for the information, which has the advantage of compressing the amount of information. The problem is that it cannot be simplified very much.

Furthermore, in the mark sheet input method, the amount of information that can be input is limited depending on the size of the mark sheet, and the information that can be selected is also limited, so the input information is limited.

Therefore, this input method using a mark sheet is effective only for a limited number of information input tasks, and there is a problem in its versatility in modifying, adding, etc. input information.
