Abstract

PURPOSE:To change the relation between an input operation and the return value of an input program just with the change of an input operation setting table and with no correction of the input program by setting the return value of the input program in comparison with the signal received from a pointing device and with use of the input operation setting table. CONSTITUTION:An input operation table 4 contains the return value corresponding to the signal received from a pointing device 1 and is contained in a memory of an input circuit 2. A return value setting means 2b refers to the table 4 to set the return value. Thus the relation between an input operation and the return value of an input program can be changed just with change of a table where an input operation is set and with no correction of the input program.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is utilized for data input processing. The present invention relates to a data input processing device in which a computer processes signals from a pointing device based on input simulation.

! 'Overview The invention is a data input processing device that performs data input processing by input operation of a pointing device. By referring to this table and setting the return value for the signal, it is possible to change the relationship between the input operation and the return value of the input program without modifying the input program by changing only the input operation setting table. It is.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in data input processing settings using this type of input operation, the type of input operation and return value have been fixed as shown in FIG.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The above-described conventional input processing settings based on input operations have a drawback that the relationship between the input operation and the return value of the input program is fixed, and therefore, when changing this relationship, the input program must be modified.

The present invention solves these problems, and aims to provide a device that can change the relationship between input operations and return values of the input program without modifying the input program.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention includes a pointing device and an input circuit that processes an operation signal from the pointing device, and the input circuit determines the signal from the pointing device according to an input program and returns the signal as an instruction parameter to a host device. In a data input processing device including a return value setting means for setting a value, an input operation table in which a return value corresponds to a signal from the pointing device is provided in a memory in the input circuit, and the return value setting means includes: The present invention is characterized in that the return value is set by referring to the input operation table.

Here, the return value is one of the instruction parameters obtained by translating the operation input from the pointing device to suit the host device.

The input operation table includes a return value setting table that defines a return value to be used when a signal from the pointing device is determined, and a transition function that expresses a transition function for determining the signal from the pointing device by input operation. Preferably, a program means is set in advance that includes a dimensional input operation setting table and replaces the setting change table with the return value setting table or the input operation setting table when the correspondence between the input operation and the return value is changed.

[Effect]

The relationship between input operations and return values is set in an input operation table and set in memory, and the signal from the pointing device is read and compared with the set contents. If the contents match, set the return value. When changing the relationship between the set return value and input operation in this way, the table in which the change is set is replaced with the table in which the return value is set or the table in which the input operation is set.

This makes it possible to change the relationship between input operations and return values of the input program without modifying the input program by simply changing the table in which the input operations are set.

First, set the relationship between input operations and return values, and create a return value setting table TBLI and an input operation setting table TBL.
2 is set on the memory of input circuit 2. Next, the signal from the pointing device 1 is read, and the read signal is compared to see if it matches the contents of the input operation setting table TBL2. If they do not match, the process returns to reading the signal from the pointing device 1, and if they match, the return value is returned. Set the return value from the setting table TBLI.

When changing the relationship between input operations and return values, the changed setting change tables TBLI' and TBL2' are replaced with return value setting table TBLI or input operation setting table TBL2.

Next, the contents of TBL2 [1, r] are 0,
2, the signal from pointing device 1 is confirmed,
5th from return value setting table TBLI [0,2]
The return value 6 is set as shown in (I) of the figure.

In this way, the type of input operation of the pointing device 1 and the input program 2a are determined by the two return value setting tables TBL1 and the input operation setting table TBL2.
You can set the return value of .

Return value setting table TBLI and setting change table TBL of (step 1) in (step 2) shown in FIG.
When operation 3 shown in Table 1 is performed by replacing I', the return value is set to 8 as shown in (I[>) in Figure 5 from the setting change table TBLI' and the input operation setting table TBL2. Ru.

In addition, from FIG. 1 (Step 3), the input operation setting table TBL2 and the setting change table TBL2' of (Step 1)
By replacing , operations 1 to 6 shown in Table 1 can be changed to operations a to f shown in Table 2. FIG. 6 shows the state transition in (step 3). The initial state is ■, and from the state ■, an input operation m changes the state ■, and from the state ■, an input operation β changes the state ■. The input operation when setting the return value 6 is operation C(m,
r).
