Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a data input device, and particularly to a data input device in which a large number of data items, including a plurality of identical data items, must be entered in order to perform one task. Concerning improvements to equipment.

In conventional online terminal devices and data input devices, it is necessary to input necessary input data each time. For this reason, in operations where many data items must be entered and data that includes the same data items must be entered each time, even if the same data has been entered previously. It didn't happen.

Therefore, when it becomes necessary to input the same data many times, it takes time to input the data, making it impossible to increase the overall input speed. In addition, the operator has to enter the same data each time, which is time-consuming.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to improve the shortcomings of the conventional methods, reduce the overall time for data input, and increase the efficiency of the operator's work when performing one task.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the overall configuration of the present invention. Data input from the input circuit 1 is immediately input to the register 2. Then, the data comparison circuit 3 checks whether the code is equal to the code stored in advance in the specific code storage section 4. If they are equal, the control circuit 5 issues an input request to the input circuit 1 in accordance with the rules established in conjunction with the specific code. The input circuit 1 simply takes in data, and the control circuit 5 specifies the length, number, etc. of data.

For data input from the input circuit 1 after data equal to the code stored in the specific code storage section 4 is input, the data comparison circuit 3 selects which of the data storage sections 6 that have already stored the input data. Check whether the data is specified. Based on the output, the control circuit 5 issues a read signal for the data already stored in the storage section 6 to the storage section readout circuit 9. The storage readout circuit 9 reads designated data from the data storage 6 into the R/W register 7 in accordance with the signal from the control circuit 5.
Read out. Next, the control circuit 5
A control signal is sent to the storage section write circuit 8 in order to store the data in the data storage section 6. Regarding that address, a value is set in the address register in the memory writing circuit 8 by the control circuit 5.

This allows input without having to re-input using a specific code and some information data.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a system in which a display device 21, the device of the present invention, that is, a data input device including a keyboard section 22 and a data input device 23 are connected to other devices via a communication line.

A case will be explained in which this system is used, for example, to submit a notification of moving in at a counter service at a local government, etc. When submitting a move-in notification, it is necessary to input the items shown in Figure 4. This data input machine is the third
As shown in the figure, key input is performed using a regular keyboard with some function keys attached. When applying for a move-in notification, the name of the person submitting the notification, the name of the future head of the household, and the name of the head of the family register are most likely to be the same, and as for the address, the previous address and permanent domicile should be the same. many.

Therefore, in such an example, if a conventional data input device is used, the person having to enter the notifier's name must enter the same name three times and the same address twice. Moreover, the name is maximum
10 characters, and an address can be up to 25 characters, so whether you use a kana keyboard or a kanji tablet left for data input, the number of characters you input will be extremely large, placing a heavy burden on the operator, and making it difficult to perform all operations. Repetition leads to a decrease in input speed and an increase in input errors. However, when the data input device of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is applied as shown in FIG. 2, code numbers corresponding to each input item are predetermined as shown in FIG. By arranging the special key "same as above" and the "space" key, the input speed can be improved and the burden on the operator can be reduced through simple operation.

That is, the code generated when the "same as above" key is input is stored in the specific code storage section 4, and the input data between the "same as above" key input and the "space" key input is stored in the data storage section by the control circuit 5. It is determined which data among the data stored in 6 is the same.

If the "future household head name" is exactly the same as the notifier's name after inputting the "notifier's name", the operator can enter the same name by inputting "same as above,""1," and "space," for example. That is, first, when the "same" code is input, the data comparison circuit 3 compares it with the code in the specific code storage section 4 and detects that they are equal, and the control circuit 5 requests the input circuit 1 to input the next data. Next, when "1" is input, it is stored in the input register 2 and the next input request is issued. Next, when "space" is input, the control circuit 5 requests the data storage reading circuit 9 to read the data corresponding to "1", and takes out the data into the R/W register 7. By writing this data into the address in the data storage unit 6 where the "future household head name" data is to be stored, a name that is exactly the same as the notifier's name is input.

The same goes for "former household name" and "head of family register name," and data that has already been entered for address can be easily entered in the same way.

As described above, by using the present invention, the number of input key operations can be reduced to about 1/10, thereby shortening the working time and reducing the burden on the operator.

In this embodiment, the specific code storage section 4 is provided separately from the data comparison circuit 3, but the same effect can be obtained even if the specific code is directly incorporated into the data comparison circuit 3 as part of the logic. In addition, data between "same as above" is specified by inputting "space", but even if the "space" key is not used, the amount of data required to be input for "same as above" is stored in the control circuit 5. Alternatively, the delimiter of the data may be detected. Furthermore, although a code is defined for each input item, the number of the input line or the abbreviation of the item (for example, "Notifier"(notifier's name), etc.) may also be used. Furthermore, the effects of the present invention are further enhanced by incorporating the logic of inputting a "space" immediately after "same as above" when using data input just before.
