Various methods can be listed as shown below. Namely, 1 keyboard, 2 tablet, 3 CRT touch, 4 touch pen, 5 graphic recognition, 6 voice recognition, 7
These include punch cards, 8 punch tapes, 9 mark cards, 10 mark sheets, 11 touch sheets, etc.

By the way, depending on the content of the job, in addition to creating a document with required information written on a standard form, when it is necessary to input and memorize the information into a computer or have it perform calculations, conventionally, document creation is required. While preparing a document, the person shall either have the person manually input the information into a computer using the appropriate means listed above, or ask a person in charge of operating the computer to input the information into the computer. It was customary to have them input it.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, for document creators to input data themselves, it is a considerable workload and inefficient work, so it is necessary to improve the input technology through a certain amount of training, and this requires a large amount of time. On the other hand, even if a person in charge of computer operations is requested to do the work, there will be an inconvenience in that the workload will increase accordingly for the person in charge.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and when creating documents using standard paper, it aims to convert as much of the stored information into a stamp as possible, and also includes the following:
To provide a computer input method and its input device which are performed by combining the stamp and an input operation device equipped with a signal transmitting means for each inscribed information and a means for reading the signal each time a stamp is inked. The aim is to solve these problems.

Next, the method of use will be described with reference to FIG.

When creating a standard document, the document creator first prepares the desired standard form T on the desk, and selects the paper selection tool 11 displaying the name of the standard form T from the stamp box B.
When you pick up the paper and insert it into the selection tool insertion section 13, a predetermined signal is sent from the console 2 to the display D via the computer C by the action of the paper selection means 10, and the screen G shows the standard paper T. Format F will appear, so after checking if it is correct,
Press confirmation button 6.

Next, desired information to be filled in is engraved. For example, take up the grip base 22b for black color, insert the stamp rubber 23 into the black stamp insertion part 24, and insert the stamp rubber 23 into the black pad 24p.
When the format is inserted so as to be able to ink by contacting it, a predetermined signal corresponding to the information is displayed on the screen G via the computer by the cooperative operation of the signal transmitting means 3 and the signal reading means 4. F
The information is displayed in a predetermined column. After confirming whether the display is correct or not, the confirmation button 6 is pressed, and the information is entered into the computer C and stored. Next, the document creator takes out the black handle 22b, that is, the input stamp 21 from the insertion section 24, and stamps it in a predetermined field of the standard paper T. Then, the desired input stamps 21 are picked up one after another and the above operations are repeated to complete the standard document. Therefore, a standard document created by a document creator by stamping a standard form T is input directly into a computer and stored. Incidentally, when writing information in red, the same operation may be performed, and if it is necessary to write numbers such as year, month, and day, the number keys 5 can also be used together.

In addition, for inputting characters other than stamps, it is also possible to use the keyboard K in combination, for example.
