Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the input miss and to improve the operability by providing a display means on an input device, separating a generating/arranging screen of information and a display screen of a display device. CONSTITUTION:The apparatus is constituted of a display device 1 for displaying the contents of information, a storage device 2 for storing the information provided on a main body, and an input device 4 having a generating/arranging display means 3 for generating the information displayed on the display device 1, arranging arbitrary information stored in the storage device 2, and displaying the information stored in the storage means of the input device 4. By providing the display means 3 on the input device 4, a generating/arranging screen of the information and a display screen of the display device 1 can be separated, therefore, the information of only a necessary part is fetched from the storage device 2, displayed on the display means 3 of the input device 4, and the information can be generated and arranged. In such a way, the input miss can be reduced, and also, the operability is improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to input devices for terminal personal computers (hereinafter referred to as personal computers), word processors (hereinafter referred to as word processors), and portable personal information equipment.

[Prior Art] As described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 63-238615, a conventional input device stores definition contents of function keys whose contents can be defined by a user management in a storage means, and inputs them from a key input means. The system was characterized in that the display contents corresponding to the state of the input special key were read from the storage means and displayed on the display means provided on the keyboard.

In addition, with conventional word processors and computer application software, when creating and organizing information such as sentences, for example, kana-kanji conversion, which converts hiragana etc. to kanji, and creating and organizing information, it is possible to create and organize information on the same display device. This is done on the display screen. Input devices such as keyboards are never used alone.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned prior art does not take into consideration the use of the display function of the input device as a means of creating, organizing, and obtaining information, and the conventional technology has an auxiliary function of the keyboard as an input device. It was nothing more than

An object of the present invention is to provide a display means for an input device.

The purpose is to provide separate work screens for creating, organizing, and obtaining information and display screens.

Another object of the present invention is to display arbitrary information from a storage device on the display means of the input device, and to correct and organize the information on the input device.

Another object of the present invention is to share a display device and a storage device by creating, organizing, and storing information using an input device.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the input device has a display means such as a flat panel display panel, for example, a liquid crystal display panel, and has a display driving means. .

In order to achieve the above-mentioned other purposes, an input device is provided.

Information control means is provided for organizing the information displayed on the display means.

In order to achieve the above and other purposes, the input device.

It is equipped with a storage means for storing input information.

[Function] By providing a display means on the input device, it is possible to create and create information.
The organizing screen and the display screen of one display device can be separated. Thereby, only the necessary part of the information is retrieved from the storage device and displayed on the display means of one input device.

Able to create and organize information.

Furthermore, only the input device can be removed from the system and information can be created and organized independently, and by having an individual with this input device, one display device and storage device can be shared.

[Example] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a display device 1 for displaying information contents, a storage device fi2 provided in the main body for storing information, and a storage device for creating information to be displayed on the display device gl! Display means 3 for creating and organizing information for organizing arbitrary information stored in the input device 2 and displaying information stored in the storage means of the input device 4
It is.

FIG. 2 is a system configuration block diagram of the input device of the present invention. The input device includes an information creation and organization display means 3 for creating and organizing information, an input unit 5 for inputting information and commands for creating and organizing information, and an information creation and organization display. A display drive means 7 for displaying the means 3 and a control means 8 and a display device 1 for controlling which part of the information to be displayed on the display means 1 is to be displayed and modified on the display means 3 for creating and organizing information. 1 and the main body of the storage device 2,
This is created when the main body interface section 9 for sending and receiving information and commands and the input device 4 are used alone, that is, when used separately from the display device W11 and the storage device W2.
It is a storage means that temporarily stores organized information.

Here, a case where the input device according to the present invention is connected to a personal computer and used as a word processor will be explained using FIG. 3 as an example.

Use a word processor when creating and organizing sentences.

You have to input commands such as moving or copying character strings, or modifying characters, and you can also display fig! From the information displayed on the screen 1, information that requires M-processing is cut out to the display means 3 for creating and organizing information, and the information is created and organized by inputting commands from the input device 4. This makes it possible to separate the information creation/arrangement screen and the display screen, and allows information to be created and organized using only the input device i4 without looking at the display device ll, improving operability.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the input section ff14 allows
An input section that allows you to create sentences and control the conversion of hiragana to kanji! ! The information can be displayed on the display device 1 after being confirmed by the display means 3 for creating and organizing information provided in 4, thereby reducing input errors.

Furthermore, by providing the storage means 6 in the input section [4, as shown in FIG.
4 can be used separately.

This is done by inputting information from the input section 5 and creating information.
On the screen of the management display means 3, the created information and moreover,
A part of the information stored in the memory bag w2 can be stored in the storage means 6 of the input section w4. This allows the display device! 1 and the storage device 12 can be used in common,
By each individual having the input device 4, a memory bag can be created as shown in FIG. ! 2 as a database becomes possible.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, by providing the input device with a display means, it is possible to separate the information creation/organization side from the display screen of the display device, and the information creation/organization screen can be separated from the display screen of the display device. This reduces input errors and improves operability.

Furthermore, since the information created once can be stored and the input device can be used alone, the display device and storage device can be shared.
