Description of the Invention (i) The present invention relates to a data input device used for computer graphics and other processing of three-dimensional graphics. Image processing on workstations or personal computers is often used to display three-dimensional structural formulas such as molecules on the computer screen for research and development, or to simulate three-dimensional graphics such as computer games or architecture. At this time, the three-dimensional molecular formula or graphic as described above needs to be moved or rotated on the screen. Therefore, there is a need for a controller capable of making such a three-dimensional graphic perform a three-dimensional motion on the screen. In the past, when the above-mentioned controller is input in a three-dimensional space, a specific key is pressed on the keyboard to switch the mode to a three-dimensional space for use. Other examples are three-dimensional space controllers used in the production of computer graphics, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2-282818 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-233146. The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-2 3 3 1 4 6 describes a three-degree space controller 10 as shown in Fig. 6. The controller 10 is rotatably provided with a conical thick-diameter ring 12, and a spherical orbit ball 1 1 that can rotate in the longitudinal, horizontal, and oblique directions is provided at the center of the ring 12 A ring-shaped upper cover 13 is provided above the track ball 11. After Tk · Ministry of China ’s decision, Zhunqin only cooperates with consumers to print the purple orbit 11 of the above-mentioned controller 10, which can generate a second-degree spatial signal, and the additional k-ring 12 can be turned to generate a third-degree spatial direction. The signal. Referring to FIG. 7 again, the inside of the controller 10 will be described. The track ball 11 disposed on the controller 10 abuts on the lower shaft and is mounted on the rollers 14 and 14 which intersect in two perpendicular directions, and is arranged near the roller 1 4 '1 4 described above to prevent the ball 1 1 falling off the small roller 1 7. At the same time, the Chinese national standard (CNS > A4 size (210X297 mm) applies to this paper size) _4_ A 7 B7 __ 'V. Description of the invention (2) One of the side surfaces of one of the rollers 1 and 14 is formed, which can follow the roller 1 4, 1 4 — The circular plates 15 and 15 with slits on the outer circumference of the body are rotated. Moreover, a part of the outer circumference of the above-mentioned circular plates 15 and 15 is provided to detect the rotation direction of the ball 11 Encoders 16 and 16 for optical couplers and the like for rotation. At the same time, although not shown, a slit is formed in the flange portion 12 formed on the outer peripheral portion of the thick-diameter ring. An encoder capable of detecting the direction and amount of rotation of the above-mentioned ring 12 is provided. The data detected by the above-mentioned encoders 16, 16 and the like are displayed on the display screen by coordinate transformation, and The object displayed on the screen can be moved or rotated in three dimensions in real time. The operation method of the controller 10 above is to use the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger to operate the trackball 11 and the ring finger 1 to operate the ring 1. 2. The above-mentioned conventional controller has the following disadvantages. (1) First, the track ball 1 1 is used. When entering the coordinate data of the second degree space in the X-Y coordinate, you must operate certain switches on the keyboard to switch, so that the cursor on the screen or the object displayed by the image simply moves within the above coordinates. The input mode, and the input mode for turning data such as the object around the X-axis or the Y-axis, are very cumbersome to operate. (2) When inputting in three-dimensional space, you must press a specific key on the keyboard. Press the key to change the mode, and to return to the second space mode, you must also press the key. This behavior is quite complicated and will reduce the work efficiency. (3) Controller 10 shown in Figure 6 To improve its operation η first read the back-to-side attention-item and then fill in the page and set the line through the center of the Ministry of Shanghai X consumption Hezhu right print «This paper size applies to Chinese national standards < CNS > A4 specifications (210X297 (Mm) 5 A7 ____B7 ___ The description of the invention (3), the diameter of the orbital ball 11 must be increased. As the diameter of the above-mentioned orbital ball 1 1 is increased, the length and width also become larger, and formed on the orbital ball 11 outer The diameter of the ring 12 will also become larger. Therefore, the selector 10 itself will # become a very thick structure. Because of this, it is very difficult to design a delicate type, and it must be configured in a small computer like a notebook It is very difficult. Because of its operability, it is necessary to match multiple fingers, and it is necessary to increase the range of movement of the fingers to the above-mentioned track ball 11 and ring 12, so it is sometimes very troublesome. The purpose of the subject is to provide a data input device capable of inputting mobile data in two-dimensional space data and rotating data using two operating bodies. And the purpose is to provide a data input device that can be used to input coordinate data of the three-dimensional space by the driver. At the same time, it can be made thin for its purpose. The characteristics of the data input device according to the present invention printed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the People's Republic of China * ?. 芈 and KJ. 贽 Cooperative are as follows: they are equipped with a pair of operating bodies that can rotate in the same direction; An encoder; and a detection unit that can detect the output of the encoder; when the detection unit obtains the transition detection output of only one of the operating bodies, it is regarded as the first input mode, and the pair of operating bodies are obtained by the above-mentioned detecting unit at the same time to the same When the rotation detection output in the direction of rotation is used as the second input mode, the rotation detection output is transformed or the movement data on the coordinates is transformed by the mode of one of the first input mode and the second input mode, and the other mode is used. The above-mentioned rotation detection output is transformed into a coordinate data conversion member that rotates around a certain axis on a coordinate. For example, only one operating body is used to input mobile data, and a pair of manipulating paper sizes is applied to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) λ -6-A7 _B7____ V. Description of the invention (4) When turning in the same direction, it becomes the input of rotation data. Conversely, when a pair of operating bodies are turned in the same direction, it is the input of moving data, and only rotating—the side of the operating body is the input of rotating data. In addition, when the detection unit obtains the rotation detection output of a pair of operating bodies rotating in the opposite direction at the same time, when it is used as the third input mode, the coordinate input data conversion means is used to convert the third input mode to the rotation detection output. Rotate the data around the axis that intersects perpendicularly to the coordinate plane of the moving data. In the above, a pair of operating bodies that can be rotated in the same direction can also be set, and those who can rotate around the X axis and around the Y axis perpendicular to the X axis are set as a group, and each group is provided, and two sets of operating bodies are borrowed. To obtain the movement data on the X_Y coordinate, the rotation data around the X axis and the rotation data around the Z axis. Alternatively, a pair of operating bodies that can be rotated in the same direction may be set as a group that can be rotated around the X axis and around the y-axis that is perpendicular to the X axis. Obtain the movement data on the X-Υ coordinate, the rotation data around the X axis and the rotation data around the Z axis, and the rotation data around the Z axis which intersects the X axis and the Z axis perpendicularly. For example, it can be adopted and equipped with a comparison of the rotation detection output obtained by the detection section and the rotation detection output obtained by the detection section due to the rotation of the other pair of operating bodies in the same direction. In order to distinguish the structure of a comparison member where only one or both of the two operating bodies are rotating at the same time, in the above, a pair of operating systems, such as an axis facing the same direction or an axis located on the same line, can be separately formed into a roller shape By. Alternatively, this paper size applies the Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 × 297 mm) A7 _________ B7 ___ V. Description of the invention (5) It can also be used, equipped with two rotation outputs that can produce X-axis and Y-axis The ball-shaped rotating bodies such as the output orbit ball are used as the above-mentioned pair of operating bodies. As long as the pair of operating bodies are operated at the same time, or the pair of operating bodies are operated separately, the keyboard may not be operated. The above keys can also input both movement data and rotation data on the coordinates. Moreover, if a pair of operating bodies are rotated in the opposite direction, the rotation data of the Z axis can be input, which can be used as a three-dimensional space controller. It is possible to provide a separate operating body different from the above-mentioned pair of operating bodies, an encoder driven by the operating body, and a detecting section for detecting the output of this encoder. The rotation detection output obtained by the detection unit is converted into movement data in different directions on the movement data on the coordinates input to the pair of operating bodies. The monomer of the operation body, the direction can be inputted to the three-dimensional

Description of the invention (6) The X-axis and Y-axis directions on the above casing 2 are linearly formed into quadrangular shapes, respectively. One pair of cutouts 3, 3, 4'4 'and a pair of rotatable cylindrical rollers Xa' Xb are mounted on the cutouts 3, 3, and a pair of rotatable rolls are mounted on the cutouts 4, 4 Cylindrical rollers Ya, Yb »The rollers X a and Xb are freely rotatable around an axis arranged on the same line, and the rollers Y a and Yb are also rotatable around an axis arranged on the same line. A quadrangular notch 5 is arranged on the front side of the casing 2. The above-mentioned notch 5 is rotatably mounted on a cylindrical roller Za (other separate operating body) with the shaft set in the X-axis direction. Fig. 3 shows a part of the inside of the controller 1, and shows the structure provided under the roller Xa. In addition, the parts used here or their constructions can be used by a general user as shown in the conventional example in FIG. 7. According to the middle standard of the Ministry of M and the Consumer Goods Cooperative Co., Ltd., it is simply explained that the above-mentioned roller X a is axially mounted on the main axis. A cylindrical support and a roller 14 are mounted on a shaft in the same axial direction as the roller X a at the lower portion, and can be in linear contact with the roller X a. On the other hand, a side surface of one end of the roller 14 is integrally formed, and the diameter is larger than that of the support roller 14 and a circular plate 15 with a slit on the circumference is formed. Furthermore, a part of the outer periphery of a circular plate 15 is sandwiched, and an encoder 16 is provided which can detect the rotation direction and the amount of rotation of the circular plate 15. This encoder 16 has an optical coupler, and there is a light emitting element on one of the outer periphery of the circular plate 15; another way is provided with a light receiving element oppositely, corresponding to the passage of a slit formed on the outer periphery of the circular plate 15 at a certain interval. The pulse output is obtained from the light receiving element, and its waveform is shaped for use. Furthermore, the above-mentioned issue-9-This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm), approved by the central ministry, and only J-collaboration cooperation ii print ii kl ____B7_ V. Description of the invention (7 ) The light element and the light receiving element are staggered in the direction of rotation. In total, the output of each light receiving element can be detected, and the rotation of the circular plate 15 is detected. In the above, only X a is described, but the other Ya, Yb, and Za are also constituted by the same support roller 14 and the encoder 16. The three-dimensional space controller 1 of the present invention thus formed can move and rotate the display or the like on the screen of the display 6 in the space image processing. Fig. 4 shows the processing in the CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20 that receives the input from the three-dimensional space controller 1. The CPU 20 displays the input data on the screen according to the rotation status of the rollers Xa, Xb, and YZ a. A fourth diagram is a correspondence table between the above-mentioned processing program and circuit frame structure, and it can also be constituted as the fourth circuit by using various electronic parts or ICs. The above-mentioned CPU 2 0 is a number counter 21 corresponding to each of the rollers, and compares the two comparison members 2 2 a, 2 2 of the rotation and rotation directions of each roller Xa, Xb, Ya. From the above-mentioned counter 21 and comparison members 22a, 22b, (Rotation detection output), most of the registers 23, and the data conversion means 24 used as the coordinates on the screen as the data obtained by the registers 23 are used to detect the corresponding three-dimensional paper size applicable to the Chinese country Standard (CNS > A4 rule "Grid (210X297cm) -10- There are two groups, direction and rate of pulse input roller X b, plate 1, 5, three-dimensional computer graphics computer program A, Y b, and a series of programs are shown. Therefore, as shown in the figure, there are as many electrical encoders as possible, and whether Y b has b or not. It can be maintained. The obtained capital is calculated from the above data and output to the space controller η first κ. Read the "Note 1" item of the "A7" _ * _ B7_ V. Description of the invention (8) Roller Xa 'Xb, Y a, Yb, Z a Rotation direction and amount of data obtained by each encoder 16 The detection unit. The present invention is changed by the above-mentioned most registers 23 and data. The component 2 4 constitutes a coordinate data conversion component. The above-mentioned CPU 20 calculates the rotation direction and the rotation amount of the rollers X a, Xb, Ya, Yb, and Za with each counter 21, and then compares the components 2 2 a, 2 2 b compares the rotation and rotation direction of a pair of rollers Xa> Xb and rollers Ya, Yb except for roller Z a. According to the comparison result, the rotation detection obtained from each counter 21 is maintained by any register 2 3 The output is output as coordinate data through the data conversion component 24. By this means, for example, the three-dimensional object displayed on the screen can be moved and rotated. The movement and rotation of the cursor can also be displayed. Re-use as shown in Figure 5 The flow chart illustrates the processing procedure of using the input data of the three-dimensional space controller 1 as described below. When the central part of the Ministry of Commerce has approved it, only the cooperatives can print. When the rollers of the three-dimensional space controller shown in Figure 1 rotate, The direction of rotation · corresponds to the X—Y—Z coordinates of the display 6 and the image moves or rotates in the direction of the finger operation> Therefore, it can be obtained that the movement of the finger operating the roller and the movement of the image on the display 6 The operation corresponding to the direct rotation should be touched. First, the steps common to each roller are performed, calculated by each counter 21 of each roller Xa, Xb, Y a 'Yb' Z a, and arranged on each roller Xa, Xb, Ya, Yb The output of each encoder 16 of Za 'detects whether there is rotation, rotation direction, and rotation data (step 1). Firstly, the roller Z a will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the paper size is calculated from the above Za. China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) ΛΛ A7 _____B7 _; _: V. Description of the invention (9) The rotation detection output obtained by the counter is processed by step 2 'step 1 1 to step 13. In step 1, the rotation detection output of the roller Za detected by the Za counter is in step 2. If Za = 0 (0 means that the roller is not rotating. The same applies hereinafter). When returning to the beginning, Za Yin 0 (if it is not 0, it means The roller rotates. The same applies hereinafter.) Then proceed to step 11. In the above step 11 ', the rotation detection output is held in the z register which is a part of the coordinate data conversion member, and the data conversion is performed in step 12 and output to the image processing section in step 13' and displayed on the display 6 in FIG. 2 A three-dimensional object, a cursor, or the like moves in the Z direction. Then, the rollers Xa, Xb will be described. Regarding the rollers Xa and Xb, they are processed in steps 3 to 6 and steps 11 to 13. When the rotation detection output of the rollers X a and Xb calculated in step 1 is in step 3, if X a = 0, proceed to step 4; if X b = 0, return to the beginning. By ‘Ministry Central: Industrial and Consumer Cooperatives’ «In step 3, if Xa is off, proceed to step 5. In step 5, the rotation detection output about the roller X a is compared with the comparison structure 2 2 a. When Xb = 0, proceed to step 11. The rotation detection output of the roller Xa is held in the Y register, and then converted into movement data on the coordinate data (step 12), and output to the screen processing unit (step 13). At this time, the object displayed on the screen moves to the Y-axis direction (up and down direction) of the screen of the display 6 shown in FIG. 2. At this time, the image reflected on the screen is reduced or enlarged, and displayed as the image moves in the Y-axis direction. In step 5, if X b is 0, proceed to step 6. In step 6, the paper size is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm > Λ0 A7 B7. V. Description of the invention (10) Compare the rotation detection output of the roller Xa with the comparison member 2 2a, and the roller Xb rotation detection output. When the rotation directions of the two rollers X a and Xb are the same, at least one of the rotation detection outputs of the two rollers X a 'Xb is held in a register around the X axis, and then borrowed from step 1 2, 1 3 is transformed into the rotation data on the coordinate data and output. As a result, the object reflected on the display 6 rotates around the X axis of the screen (0X rotation). At the same time, in step 6, the components are compared. As a result of the comparison of 2 a, if it is determined that the rotation directions of the rollers X a and Xb are opposite to each other, at step 1 1, at least one of the rotation detection outputs of the two rollers is maintained around the Z-axis register, and the following is at step 1 2 The same processing is performed for 1 and 3. The coordinate data of the rotation data around the Z axis is output. As a result, the object displayed on the screen rotates around the Z axis of the screen (0Z direction). Moreover, Xa in step 3 = 0 and Xb # 0 at step 4 When the roller X a and the roller X b are rotated, it is transformed into the Y direction movement data, and when both rollers are rotated in the same direction at the same time, it is transformed into the circle X The rotation data of the axis (0X), when the two rollers rotate at the same time and in opposite directions, they are converted into rotation data around the Z axis (0 Z). Then explain the rollers Ya, Yb. The rotation detection output of the above rollers Ya, Yb is in the step 7 · ~ Steps 1 and 3. Regarding the rotation detection output of the rollers Ya and Yb calculated in Step 1 above, it is discriminated in Step 7 whether the roller Ya is rotating. If Ya = 〇, proceed to Step 8. Borrow in Step 8 This comparison member 2 2 b compares the rotation detection output of the roller Yb. The paper size adopts the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) 13-A7 _B7_ ^ V. Description of the invention (11), if Y b = 0, Go back to the beginning. In step 8, if Yb is 0, its rotation detection output is held in the X register (step 11), and it is output as the movement data in the X direction. As a result, the object on the screen goes to the second X-axis direction (left and right direction) shift shown in the figure On the other hand, in step 7, if Ya # 〇, proceed to step 9, in step 9, compare the rotation output of the roller 22b with the comparison member 22b. Here, if Yb = 0, the same as above At step 11, it is held in the X-axis register and is output as the movement data in the X direction. At the same time, at step 9, if Yb # 0, that is, the roller Ya and the roller Yb rotate at the same time, proceed to step 1. In step 10, compare the rotation directions of the rollers Y a and Yb. If the rotation directions of the rollers Y a and Yb are not the same, keep the register around the Z axis in step 11 and the other aspect is the “roller Y a When the direction of rotation is the same as that of Yb, it is held in a register around the Y axis and output as rotation data. Therefore, when the rotation directions of the rollers Y a and Yb are the same, on the screen of the display 6 shown in FIG. 2, the object rotates around the Y axis (0 Y direction), and the rotation directions of the rollers Ya and Yb are opposite. At this time, the object rotates around the Z axis (β Z direction). That is, when one of the rollers Y a and Y b rotates, it is transformed into movement data in the X direction. When both rollers are rotated in the same direction at the same time, it is transformed into rotation data around the Y axis (0Y). The two rollers are simultaneously and mutually When turning in the opposite direction, it is transformed into rotation data around the Z axis (0Z). As explained above, the three-dimensional space controller of the present invention can easily I____; ___ The paper size is appropriate / Π China National Standards (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) 5. Description of the invention (12) Three-dimensional space Method, the molecular structural formula displayed on the display, or the three-dimensional graphics of the characters or the background of the game are moved, rotated, zoomed in and out. At the same time, the operability of the above-mentioned controller does not need to operate the keys of the keyboard or the like to change to the three-dimensional space mode in order to perform the three-dimensional space input. Only five rollers can be used to process in the three-dimensional space. At the same time, regarding the three-dimensional space controller, if the four rollers set in the X-Y axis direction are close to each other, one finger can be used to simultaneously control the two-axis direction of the object on the screen. Moreover, if you use thinner and more rectangular rollers, you can form a very delicate type, so it can be configured for use in a notebook computer, etc., and the controller body of the controller of the present invention, such as an encoder, can be used generally. At the same time, a series of processing from input to rotation can use a program of computer software, which can be constructed in a simple way. Therefore, it is not necessary to use expensive parts, and it can be designed inexpensively and easily. In addition, the three-dimensional space controller of the present invention is not limited to this. The operating body may be a sphere instead of a cylindrical roller. At the same time, the operating body may be reduced from four to two. In other embodiments, contrary to the above embodiment, a pair of rollers are used to move when they rotate at the same time, and 'the structure is rotated when only one side is rotated.' And the coordinates showing the position of the controller shown in FIG. The coordinates of the screen on the display 6 shown in the figure are not necessarily the same. For example, in the screen of Figure 2, the Y axis and the Z axis are interchangeable. At this time, for example, when any one of the rollers X a and X b rotates, the object Will move up and down on the screen "and make a pair of rollers rotate in the opposite direction, the object is applied to the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 specification (2 丨 0X297 mm) perpendicular to the paper size of the painting. -15- DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The axis of the (13) plane is centered. As described above, the present invention can rotate a pair of operating bodies such as rollers at the same time, or only one of them to change the input mode. In one mode, the image moves on the screen, and in the other mode, the image is on the screen. Turn on. Therefore, it is not necessary to switch the key operation on the keyboard due to the movement mode and the rotation mode. At the same time, if a pair of rotating bodies are rotated in directions opposite to each other, the image can be rotated around an axis different from that of the rotating body. In addition, if one pair of two sets of operating bodies is provided, the movement and rotation data can be input in three degrees of space. If a separate operation is added, it can be moved and rotated in all directions of the three degrees of space.
