The present invention relates to a multiple input / output system and an input / output control method thereof.

As computer-related technologies have developed, and as the population of computers has increased, the processing of various tasks has also depended on computing devices such as computers. In addition, as the population with computer abilities increases, the task of creating and processing documents is shifting to processing information by directly inputting information into a computer.

For example, in performing banking operations such as deposit, remittance and withdrawal, the bank tells customers to input various information by using a separate input / output device connected to the bank employee's computer. Or use an automated teller machine for the above tasks.

All of these devices are provided with two or more input / output devices in one CPU. That is, at the bank window, an input / output device such as a computer monitor, a keyboard and a mouse is provided to the bank employee side, and a separate input / output device such as a touch panel capable of inputting / outputting to the customer side is provided. The automatic teller machine of the bank is also equipped with an input / output device that can be used by customers in the front of the automatic teller machine, and the input / output device for managing the equipment of the bank employee is provided at the rear.

At this time, the input unit of the bank employee side of the computer and the input unit separately provided on the customer side function as input units for a single computer. As the input and output devices on the customer side compete with each other for input focus, they interfere with each other's work.

For example, when an input command is detected on a customer input unit while a bank employee inputs various information for business processing, an input focus moves from an input / output device of a bank employee to an input / output device of a customer. In addition, the bank employee must perform one more input operation to move the moved input focus back to the bank employee input / output device.

Therefore, if a bank employee does not detect that the input focus moves to the customer's side while inputting the information, and inputs the information, part of the information to be input is missing.

And the problem as described above can occur in the bank as well as everywhere where the multi-input and output system is used.

That is, according to the prior art as described above, if an input operation is made to another input / output device by mistake while performing a task in one input / output device, there is a problem that the input / output device performing the operation malfunctions.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings a specific embodiment of the multi-input and output system according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a multi-input and output system according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is an exemplary view showing a screen configuration for controlling the input according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the multiple input / output system according to the present invention includes a main input / output device 10. The main input and output device 10 is provided with an injection force unit 12, the injection force unit 12 is composed of a conventional input means such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch pad, a tablet.

In addition, the main input and output device 10 is provided with a main output unit (14). The main output unit 14 is a conventional display means such as a CRT, LCD, PDP monitor.

The output screen of the main output unit 14 is changed according to the input content of the injection force unit 12, and the function can be selected by the injection force unit 12 according to the output content of the main output unit 14; Information that can be input is limited.

On the other hand, the multiple input and output system includes a secondary input and output device (20). Although only one auxiliary input and output device is shown in FIG. 1, two or more auxiliary input and output devices may be provided.

The auxiliary input / output device 20 is provided with a sub input unit 22. The sub input unit 22 also includes a general input means such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch pad, and a tablet.

In addition, the auxiliary input / output device 20 includes a sub output unit 24. The sub output section 24 is a conventional display means such as a CRT, LCD, PDP monitor.

A function of changing the output screen of the sub output unit 24 according to the input contents of the sub input unit 22 and selecting the sub input unit 22 according to the output contents of the sub output unit 24; Information that can be input is limited.

In addition, the main I / O device 10 and the auxiliary I / O device 20 interoperate with each other. That is, the input of the injection force unit 12 affects the control of the auxiliary input / output device 20 as well as the main input / output device 10. Similarly, the input of the sub input unit 22 affects the control of the auxiliary input / output device 20 as well as the main input / output device 10. Both the injection force unit 12 and the sub input unit 22 serve as effective input means for the control unit 30 to be described later.

On the other hand, the multiple input and output system is configured to include a control unit 30. The controller 30 serves as a CPU of a general PC. In addition, the input and output of the main input and output device 10 and the auxiliary input and output device 20 is controlled.

In particular, the controller 30 controls whether the main input / output device 10 and the auxiliary input / output device 20 are activated. That is, the sub input unit 22 and the sub output unit 24 provided in the injection force unit 12, the main output unit 14, and the auxiliary input / output device 20 provided in the main input / output device 10. ) Lock / unlock function.

The controller 30 deactivates the sub input unit 22 when the user selects the deactivation of the sub input unit 22 through the injection force unit 12. The controller 30 does not execute a command input to the sub input unit 22 or deactivates the sub input unit 22 by a method of blocking a signal input from the sub input unit 22.

In this case, a method of selectively inputting the deactivation of the sub input unit 22 by the injection force unit 12 may be implemented in various ways. It is also possible to set the activation and deactivation of the sub input unit 22 by selecting the setting icon displayed in the predetermined area of the main output unit 14 by the injection force unit 12.

2A and 2B show examples of display screens of the main output unit 14 and the sub output unit 24 of the multi-input / output system according to the embodiment of the present invention. 10 shows an example in which the bank clerk side uses the auxiliary input / output device 20 on the customer side.

As shown, an icon for activating or deactivating the sub input unit 22 is provided at the lower right of the screen of the main output unit 14. The drawing is shown with a 'lock icon' and a 'release icon'. In addition, the sub-input unit 22 indicates whether it is currently activated or not, and is displayed as "inputable" at the bottom of the mouse image on the right side of the icon.

That is, in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2A, the sub input unit 24 is currently activated. As shown in FIG. 2B, the sub input unit 24 receives an input of a user side of the auxiliary input / output device 20. Therefore, when the input of the user side of the auxiliary input and output device 20 is required as in this embodiment, the user of the main input and output device 10 by clicking the 'release icon' of the output screen shown in Figure 2a with the mouse The sub input unit 22 provided in the auxiliary input / output device 20 is activated.

However, when the input of the user side of the auxiliary input and output device 20 is not necessary, and rather interferes with the work of the user of the main input and output device 10, the user of the main input and output device 10 is the injection force unit ( 12) the sub-input unit 22 may be deactivated by selecting the 'lock icon'. In this case, the deactivation state of the sub input unit 22 is displayed on the output screen of the main output unit 14. That is, in FIG. 2A, the display of " input available " in a predetermined area at the lower right end of the main output unit 24 is changed to " input cutoff ".

The controller 30 deactivates not only the sub input unit 22 but also the injection force unit 12, the main output unit 14, and the sub output unit 24 as described above according to the input of the injection force unit 12. can do. In this case, the injection force unit 12 is displayed with an icon or information that can control the activation and deactivation of each input and output unit.

In this case, the display of the icon or information, the display and the selection of the activation and deactivation functions, etc. may be displayed and selected in various ways as well as the display of FIG. 2A.

On the other hand, the control unit 30 is a predetermined setting according to the type of the program being executed in the main input and output device 10 and the operation currently being performed, even if the input or output unit activation or deactivation command is not input through the injection force unit 12 Accordingly, the activation and deactivation of the sub input unit 22 can be controlled.

For example, when an input focus is located in a password input area while a bank clerk is inputting information through the main input / output device 10 at a bank teller, the controller 30 automatically activates the sub input unit 22. can do. When the password input of the bank customer through the sub input unit 22 is finished, the controller 30 again deactivates the sub input unit 22.

The controller 30 may control activation and deactivation of each input / output unit as well as the sub input unit 22 even without a control command of the main input / output device 10.

On the other hand, when the sub-input unit 22 is activated, there is a case where the input of the injection force unit 12 should be limited. That is, when the customer side needs to input information through the auxiliary input / output device 20 at the bank window, the input of the customer side may be interrupted when the accountant performs the input through the sub input unit 22.

Therefore, the control unit 30 may deactivate the input of the injection force unit 12 when the sub input unit 22 is activated. At this time, even if a specific command is input to the injection force unit 12, the input command is not performed.

However, since the control direction is given to the user of the main I / O device 10, the controller 30 recognizes and executes only a control command for re-activating the input of the injection force unit 12. That is, when the injection force unit 12 is in an inactive state, the controller 30 performs only a control command for activating the input of the injection force unit 12 among commands input through the injection force unit 12.

In addition, when both the injection force unit 12 and the sub input unit 22 are activated, the command is input from any input unit in an input root determination unit (not shown) included in the control unit 30 when a command is input. Determine if it is.

The controller 30 first performs an operation of moving the input focus to the input route determined by the input route determining unit, that is, the input unit to which the command is input, before performing the command.

For example, when characters are simultaneously input by the injection force unit 12 and the sub input unit 22, when the character input by the injection force unit 12 is 'a', the 'a' is converted into the main output unit ( Check whether there is an input focus on the main output unit 14 before performing the command shown in (14), otherwise move the input focus to the main output unit 14. Then run the command that displays the letter 'a'.

In addition, the character input from the auxiliary input unit 22 is displayed on the auxiliary output unit 24 after moving the input focus to the auxiliary output unit 24.

Therefore, if characters are simultaneously input by the injection force unit 12 and the sub input unit 22, the input focus continues to move between the main output unit 14 and the sub output unit 24, but each input is Mixing will not occur.

In the above-described embodiment, the sub output unit 24 may provide a pivot function that can be used both in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for the convenience of the user. That is, the sub output unit 24 is rotatable 90 ° left and right, and when the sub output unit is rotated 90 °, the output screen of the sub output unit 24 rotates 90 ° in the opposite direction.

Hereinafter, an input / output control method of a multiple input / output system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an input / output control method of a multiple input / output system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an input / output control method of a multiple input / output system according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the input / output control method of the multi-input / output system according to the present invention starts at step S100 of detecting an input of a command. If it is detected in step 100 that the command is input, in step 120 the input route of the command is detected.

In this case, the detection of the input route is to detect whether the input device inputted with the command is the main input / output device 10 or the auxiliary input / output device 20. Accordingly, when it is confirmed that the command is input through the injection force unit 12 of the main input / output device 10 (S122), the controller 30 detects whether each input / output device is activated.

Accordingly, when it is determined in step 130 that only the input of the auxiliary input / output device 20 is activated, execution of the command through the injection force unit 12 is blocked (S160). However, when it is determined in step 130 that the auxiliary input / output device 20 is not in the dedicated mode, that is, when both the input of the auxiliary input / output device 20 and the input of the main input / output device 10 are activated, or When only the input of the main input / output device 10 is activated, the command input through the injection force unit 12 is performed (S150).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the input route determined in step 120 is the sub input unit 22 (S124), the controller 30 detects whether each input / output device is activated.

Accordingly, when it is determined in step 140 that only the input of the main input / output device 10 is activated, execution of the input command through the sub input unit 22 of the auxiliary input / output device 20 is blocked (S160). ). However, if it is determined in step 140 that the main input / output device 10 is not in the dedicated mode, the command input through the sub input unit 22 is executed (S150).

In this case, the case where the main I / O device 10 is not in a dedicated mode refers to a case where both an input of the main I / O device 10 and an input of the auxiliary I / O device 20 are activated.

Meanwhile, another embodiment of the present invention starts in step S200 of detecting an input of a command, as shown in FIG. 4.

If the input of the command is detected in step 200, the input route is checked in step 210. In this case, the input route may be the injection force unit 12 (S220) or the sub input unit 22 (S230).

If the input route of the command is the injection force unit 12 (S220), the controller 30 determines whether each input / output device is activated, and determines whether the auxiliary input / output device 20 is in a dedicated mode (S221). If the auxiliary input / output device 20 is not in the dedicated mode, that is, only the input of the auxiliary input / output device 20 is activated, it is determined whether only the input of the main input / output device 10 is activated ( S222).

If it is determined in step 222 that only the input of the main input / output device 10 is activated, the controller 30 executes a command input through the injection force unit 12.

However, if it is determined in step 222 that not only the main input / output device 10 but also the input of the auxiliary input / output device 20 is activated, the controller 30 may be configured as the main output unit of the main input / output device 10. After performing the step S224 of adjusting the input focus (14), the command is performed (S240).

If it is determined in step 221 that the auxiliary input / output device 20 is in the dedicated mode, it is determined whether the command inputted through the injection force unit 12 is the injection force unit 12 activation control command (S223).

If it is determined in step 223 that the command is the injection force unit 12 activation control command (S240). Therefore, the injection force unit 12 is activated by the command. However, if the command is other commands except the injection force unit 12 activation control command, the execution of the command is blocked (S250).

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 210 that the input route is the sub input unit 22 (S230), the controller 30 detects whether each input / output device is activated to determine whether the main input / output device 10 is in a dedicated mode. (S231).

In this case, when only the input of the main input / output device 10 is activated, the main input / output device 10 is in a dedicated mode, and execution of the command input through the sub input unit 22 is blocked (S250).

However, if it is determined in step 231 that the main input / output device 10 is not in the dedicated mode, it is determined whether only the input of the auxiliary input / output device 20 is activated in the auxiliary input / output device 20 dedicated mode ( S232).

In this case, when it is determined that the auxiliary input / output device 20 is in the dedicated mode, the controller 30 executes the command input to the sub input unit 22 (S240). However, if it is determined in step 232 that the auxiliary input / output device 20 is not in the dedicated mode, this means that both inputs of the main input / output device 10 and the auxiliary input / output device 20 are activated.

Therefore, the controller 30 moves the input focus to the sub output unit 24 of the auxiliary input / output device 20 to correctly execute the command. Thereafter, the command input through the sub input unit 22 is executed (S240).

After executing the command (S240) or blocking the execution of the command (S250) as described above, the controller 30 determines whether the input / output unit is activated in the above-described step of the main input / output device 10. The output to the main output unit 14 is further subjected (S260).

When a new command is input, the main input / output device 10 and the auxiliary input / output device 20 perform an input command while going through the same process again.

The above-described embodiments use the main input / output device 10 as an input / output device of a bank employee side and the auxiliary input / output device 20 as an input / output device of a customer side at a bank teller, or a main input / output device in an automatic teller machine of a bank ( 10) can be used as an input / output device for device management on the bank employee side and the auxiliary input / output device 20 as an input / output device on the customer side.

The rights of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above, but are defined by the claims, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and adaptations within the scope of the claims. It is self-evident.

In the multiple input / output system and the input / output control method using the same according to the present invention as described in detail above, the following effects can be expected.

That is, when a job is performed in one input / output device of a multiple input / output system, a signal is inputted from the input / output device in which the job does not proceed, thereby preventing the job from interfering with the job. This has the advantage of being able to work more stably and quickly.

In addition, when the operation is performed in two or more input and output devices of the multi-input and output system, by preventing each input and output device malfunction by the input of each other, there is an advantage that can be performed simultaneously in one multi-input and output system.
