Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [First industrial field] The present invention relates to data input of an information processing device, and in particular to program control for specifying character color or symbol color when inputting characters or symbols. The present invention relates to a data input method for an information processing device that performs.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the data input method of this woodcutter's information processing device was to display color specification information on a display device using a gramogram running in the information processing device, and the operator looked at the displayed color specification information. Colors were designated from the data input device, and the program controlled the character color or symbol color input from the data input device based on the input color designation information.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Color designation information for character colors or symbol colors that is input manually from the data input device of the conventional information processing device described above is displayed on the display device by a program running on the information processing device. The program selects a color from the data input device by looking at the color specification information table provided by the user, and this program distinguishes between character colors or symbol colors input from the data input device based on the input color specification information. Therefore, the color specification information table must be displayed on the display device, which has the disadvantage that a display area must be secured, and that the selection method of the color specification information to be displayed differs depending on the gramogram and becomes complicated. .

[+ step to solve the problem]

The data input method of the information processing device of the present invention is based on the color specification manual provided in the data input device in the programmatic control of color specification of character color or symbol color when inputting characters or symbols from the data input device of the information processing device. The system is configured to manually set a color specification state and specify a color using the payment mode setting keys (Sui, Te).

〔Example" Next, about the present invention M5? , reveal.

The color specification manual status setting key switch for the data input method of the information processing device of the present invention is suitable for the data input device (hereinafter abbreviated as the keyboard, an example is shown in FIG. 1) of the information processing device commonly used at present. Alphanumeric 7-note key 401 used when inputting alphanumeric characters, English symbol 7-note key 401 used when inputting English symbols. -301, Kana/Futokey used when inputting Kana characters manually -413, Kana symbol 77 key used when inputting Kana symbols 314
This is a similar mechanism.

As shown in FIG. 1, the keyboard is provided with a color 77 key 502 for setting the color specification input state, and when the color knot key 502 is pressed, the glogram that operates on the information processing device to which the keyboard is connected is displayed next. Interprets data input from the keyboard as color specification information.

For example, regarding the correspondence between keys and colors in color specification information, number key 101 is red, number key 102 is blue, number key 103 is yellow, number key 104 is green, number key 105 is /An, number key 106 is magenta. , The method of inputting the 0 color designation information from the keyboard, which sets the number keys 107 to white, is Color Knot -
A method of pressing the keys v--502 and the color designation information key individually or a method of pressing them at the same time is conceivable.

To press them individually, after pressing the color knot key 502, press the alphanumeric 77 key 401 and the alphanumeric key 401.
301/Kana symbol shift key 314 or Kana 7 key 413 is pressed, the color designation information manual state can be operated.

In the simultaneous pressing method, only when the color 77 key 501 and the color designation information key are being pressed down, color designation information is input to the color designation tPI information key on the keyboard.

If it is to be realized, it is generally realized by some method.

The keys for color specification information were made to correspond to numeric keys, but it is possible that the correspondence between colors is not well understood.

In that case, after coloring part or all of the surface of the corresponding key of each color on the keyboard, express the color in letters and write it on the keyboard key.

Here, seven of the numeric keys are used to specify colors, but if the number of colors to be specified increases, the remaining nine keys may be colored in advance.

In the following explanation, the method of inputting color specification information is to press the color knot 'P-502 and the color specification information key at the same time, and the state in which data (characters) are manually input from the thousand board is shown in Figure 2. explain. FIG. 2 shows a display device connected to an information processing device with a keyboard connected to it,
This shows a state in which characters entered from the keyboard are processed by the gramogram and are also displayed on the display device.

Now, "ABC" has been inputted from the thousand-horde and is being processed by grog-tum processing, and the display screen 6011C of the display device is also being displayed. A cursor 602 indicates the position where the next character input from the keyboard will be displayed, and changes to the color state of the current character.

For example, "ABC" is displayed in green, and when the temperature is 0.degree. C., the cursor 602 is also green. Next, if you want to change the color of the characters entered manually from the keyboard to white, use the keypad key 502 and numbers -? - Press 107 at the same time. The instruction of Grogtsumu is to display the cursor 602 in white, then process the characters or symbols input from the keyboard as white, and display them in white as well.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an outline of the program processing when inputting color designation information and data (characters or symbols) from the keyboard.

As explained in Figures 1 and 2, input the color specification information from the keyboard (Ste, Gua 01), and whether the information input from the key or i=-do is a character/symbol input or color specification information is input. If it is color designation information, the color designation information is stored (step 703). Next, the cursor 602 shown in FIG. 2 is displayed in the color of the color designation information according to the color designation @i stored in Step 703 (step 704). Step 701
The information from the keyboard entered in step 702
If it is determined that it is data (characters or symbols), memory processing of the characters and symbols is performed (Ste, Gua 05). Next, the color of the color specification information stored in step 703 is
Process 7 for displaying characters and symbols on a display device as shown in the figure
06 and the result is displayed (step 706)
.

Here, the color designation information stored in step 703 is not updated until another color designation information is input from the keyboard again. When data (characters or symbols) are input from the board, the colors of the data (characters or symbols) are all treated as the same color until the color specification information is updated.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention provides a color specification input state setting key switch for a data input device of an information processing device.

When the user presses the button, the color specification is recognized by the program running on the information processing device, and the color specification information from the data input device is simultaneously controlled. As a result, it is no longer necessary to secure a display area for color specification information on the display device or to control the display of the color specification information table, and color specification information can be input in the same way as inputting data (inputting characters or symbols) from a data input device. This has the effect that it is possible to input the following information.
