Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention relates to instrumentation operator's consoles, which are becoming more sophisticated and diversified. Register operations as key code strings and use simple operations as needed. A key input processing method that aims to improve operability by performing Regarding.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Generally speaking, interactive key operations on the instrumentation operator's console are shown in Figure 4. It works like this. First, when executing a required function, a function start key is input. By inputting the function start key, an input guide is displayed and the system waits for input. Next, follow the input guide display and key-input the data waiting for input. In this way the machine Item data required to perform functions (data name, type data, etc.) By inputting the following, the desired key operation will be performed. Such a pair Patent Application No. 63-307860 was proposed as a method to improve operability in speech-style key operations. However, when you press another key in the middle of a key operation, the previous key operation is restored. It is something that makes you In addition, new software is created and operated with specific functions. In some cases, the aim is to improve productivity.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

The above conventional technology is a common function in instrumentation operator's consoles. , in order to support a wide variety of data with one function, item data such as data names etc. You can enter the key by specifying the data. In general, follow the input guide and press the key All you have to do is input it, and there is no particular problem. However, Keogh is becoming more complex and diverse. In operation, it is essential to improve operability. a diversity of Supporting flexible data means being able to handle anything, but individual Considering the data, this means that the operability has deteriorated.

0004 Also, some data may have special meaning, which is obvious in similar operations. This makes it difficult to use. In such cases, you may need to install new software. Although it is possible to create air and incorporate dedicated operations, the cost is high and it is not universally possible. For practicality.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to pre-register key code strings required for specific operations. You can easily perform operations by recording and entering specific keys as needed. The purpose is to improve operability.

[0006]

[Means to solve the problem]

The above purpose is to register the key code string required to execute a specific operation. When the key corresponding to this area is entered, the registered key This is achieved by processing the -codes as if they were input sequentially. This makes it easy to A simple key operation is the same as inputting multiple keys, improving operability. becomes possible.

[0007]

[Effect]

Typically, the interactive key input processing method for instrumentation operator's consoles is , After inputting the function start key, item data such as data name is input in sequence and processing is performed. . In this way, all the key inputs required to perform a specific operation are Register in advance in the form of a code. Registration contents correspond to specific key inputs shall be. If a key input that is associated in this way is performed, the registered According to the content (key code), processing is performed as if the keys had been input in sequence. This results in , inputting a specific key is the same as inputting multiple keys, and the operation This makes it possible to improve performance.

[0008]

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 below.

[0009] As shown in Figure 1, when performing a specific operation, the corresponding short key KEY Enter. When a KEY is input, the corresponding key code registration table TBL is selected. The key code registration table shows the registered key codes. Key codes are registered in number and execution order. Key execution processing is performed according to this registered content. principles are carried out. First, the key code for the screen display request key that is registered is the key code. – sent to execution processing. At this point, it is determined that this is the screen display request key, and the screen CRTa is pressed. Make a screen display request to. Next, the key code for the function start key is sent, and the function start key code is sent. It is determined that the key is the first key, and data of the requested function is sent to the key processing area CRTb. Displays data item input guide. Next, process the key codes of the registered contents in sequence. This will execute the registered operation. Therefore, the abbreviated key By inputting KEY, multiple registered keys will be executed in succession, and the operation It is possible to improve sexual performance.

0010 Next, means for realizing the present invention will be explained. In general, input devices such as keyboards The information entered is converted to information such as a key code, and based on this information the key is Processing is started. FIG. 2 shows key processing that realizes the present invention. First, it was launched In the key processing, it is determined whether the input key code is an abbreviated key (P1). If it is not a shortened key, the number of key codes is set to 1, and the entered key code is used as an execution error. (P2). In the case of a short key, the corresponding key code registration table The number of key codes registered in is the number of key codes, and the registered key code string is transferred to the execution area (P3). Next, follow the key code at the beginning of the execution area. Then, perform key execution processing (P4). After the key execution process (P4) is completed, the number of key codes is decremented by 1 and it is determined whether there is an unexecuted key code (P5). There is no unexecuted key code. If not (number of key codes=0), the process ends. Also, if there is an unexecuted key code If (number of key codes ≠ 0), delete/move forward the key code at the beginning of the execution area (P6) Then, the process returns to the key execution process (P4). In addition, the flow of key codes during execution of this process is as shown in FIG. This allows you to perform operations that require multiple key inputs. rations can also be easily operated using abbreviated keys.

[0011]

[Effect of the idea]

According to the present invention, operations that require multiple key inputs can also be used as shortcut keys. Since it becomes possible to operate more easily, it is possible to improve the operability.
