Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily switch inputs between input with character codes and input with item coordinates, by providing an item input converting device at the outside independently of an input displaying terminal device. CONSTITUTION:When item keys of an item inputting keyboard 1 are depressed, coordinates corresponding to each item key are sent to an item input converting device 6. The device 6 converts coordinates inputted from the keyboard 1 into character code strings corresponding to items and sends the character code strings to a character input displaying terminal device 2b. The character code strings are sent to a terminal controller 5 through the character inout displaying terminal device 2b and the terminal device 2b displays the character code strings on a character display. Moreovaer, when the item input converting device 6 and item inputting keyboard 1 are removed and a character board 7 is connected with the present character input displaying terminal device 2b, inputs can be made with character codes.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field of invention].

The present invention relates to a multi-item input terminal device, particularly to an item input conversion device.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, some types of devices include whistles/as shown in the figure. In the figure, l has multiple keys on the keyboard, and coordinates corresponding to seven predicates or words are assigned to each key -1
An item input keyboard that outputs the assigned coordinates when one key is pressed. Convert the coordinates from Kakibonid L into a character code string that is opposite to the character code string, and display it as an item character on the display.
This is a multi-item input/display terminal device that outputs a single code string to a terminal control device 3, which will be described later. The display section that displays the item characters in the terminal device aa, quickly! The character code string from the multi-item input rate child terminal device Ja is input to the computer system (not shown).
This is the above-mentioned terminal control device that sends the data to, etc.

Next, we will explain the operation. When a key on the item keyboard 1 is pressed, the coordinates corresponding to each key are sent to the multi-item input display terminal device-a.

The control unit 3 in the multi-item input display terminal device aa converts these coordinates into a character code string corresponding to the assigned item character. The character code string is sent from the control section 3 to the terminal control device j. Further, the control unit 3 sends the character code string as characters to the display unit. The display section Hiroshi displays this character on the display.

Since the conventional item input conversion device is configured as described above, it is necessary to convert the item coordinates into a character code string within the multi-item input display terminal device, and the control within the multi-item input display terminal device is difficult. In addition to being complicated, there were drawbacks such as the fact that it was difficult to make the item conversion function removable as an additional function depending on the application, as it involved a variety of functions.

Furthermore, since the key input is based on item coordinates, character code input from the character keyboard cannot be directly accepted, and the connection of the character keyboard requires more complicated control.

[Summary of the Invention] This invention was made to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as described above, and instead of the multi-item input display terminal device, an item input method is provided between the character input display terminal device and the item input keyboard. By providing a conversion device, the purpose is to enable input of item coordinates in the same way as input of character codes.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2, and will be explained below. In FIG. 2, / is an item input keyboard, and 2b is a character input display that sends a character code string as input to the terminal control device 3 and has a character display (not shown), which displays the character code string on the character display. A terminal device, 3 is a terminal control device, 6 is an item input conversion device that converts the coordinates from the item input keyboard l into a character code string, and sends it to the character input display terminal device 1b.What is the item input conversion device 6? Exclusively character input display terminal device
It is a character keyboard connected to.

Next, the operation will be explained. Item Manual Keyboard (3) When the item key of "Do" is pressed, a mark corresponding to each item key is sent to the item input conversion device 6. The item input conversion device 6 converts the coordinates from the item input keyboard l into a character code string corresponding to the item, and sends it to the character input display device 2b. The character code string is passed through the character input display terminal device 2b to the terminal control device! The character input/display terminal device Δb displays a character code string on the character display 4.

If the item input conversion device 6 and the boundary input keyboard 1 are removed and the character keyboard is connected to the character input display terminal device 2b, character codes can also be input.

In the above embodiment, after the item conversion, it is a character code string, but it may be a single character.

Furthermore, the character code string is not limited to the large character code, but may also include interrupt information and control codes. □ [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to this invention, the item input conversion (da) device is provided externally and independently of the input display terminal device, so the input display terminal device can be made inexpensive, and Since the item input conversion device can be attached and detached, there is an effect that it becomes easy to switch between input using the Kirafuta code and input using item coordinates.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Usually, a character input display terminal device receives a character code string from a character keyboard, and coordinates corresponding to seven predicates or words are assigned to each of multiple keys on the keyboard, and one key is pressed. and an item input keyboard that outputs the assigned coordinates, and receives the coordinates from the item input keyboard, converts them into a character code string, and outputs the converted character code string to the Kigora 2 input display terminal device. Item input conversion device.
