[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When inputting take-off and landing of an aircraft, for one aircraft, for example, Narita takeoff → Hong Kong landing → Hong Kong takeoff → Bangkok landing → Bangkok takeoff → Hong Kong landing → Hong Kong takeoff → Narita landing, Takeoff and landing are repeated under the route. Then, it is necessary to grasp the time of takeoff and landing at each point in Narita, and it will be input in Narita according to the order of each takeoff and landing. It is necessary to perform such input for several tens to several hundreds of aircrafts, and for the input side, the takeoff and landing times sent from many aircrafts moment by moment can be operated with a short time sequence one after another without error. Required to enter.

Even in a large parking lot of several hundreds to several thousands, it is necessary to input data for management of entry and exit without error by a short time operation. An object of the present invention is to provide a data input method capable of performing such a large amount of data input in a short operation time and without error.

[0006]

According to the present invention, an input field having a plurality of input points arranged along an input order is converted into data and stored, and the input field is stored each time an input is made to the input point. Read out and display it on the display screen, move the cursor to the corresponding input point and enter data, store the input field after this data input again, and repeat the above reading, inputting and storing, and then all input In the data input method using the cursor to input data to a point, the number of the input point most recently input to the above input field is latched, and this data is latched at the time of data input to the next input point. Read the number and move the cursor to the input point position of the next number following this number automatically and forcibly to specify the input point position. Force the above data to be input at this input point. It discloses a data input method according to the cursor use.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the input point is set in accordance with the input order, the latest input order number is latched, and for the next input point, the next number of the latched input order number is set. Move the cursor to the input point and input. As a result, the input point to be input is designated, and quick data input can be performed without being aware of the cursor position.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 2 shows a takeoff and landing input system diagram of an aircraft. This system has a personal computer configuration and a shared bus 5
CPU 1, MM (main memory) 2, auxiliary memory 3, C
An RT 4, a communication I / F (interface) 6, a keyboard 7, a mouse 8 and a printer 9 are connected. The auxiliary memory 3 is, for example, an FD or the like, and the takeoff / landing input software is latched in the auxiliary memory 3 and transferred to the MM2, and the CPU1 and
The take-off and landing input software is activated in cooperation with M2 to perform the necessary processing. The CRT 4 displays a screen for entering the time of takeoff and landing. The communication I / F 6 receives the take-off / landing time and the like sent thereto and communicates data with other various host computers. The keyboard 7 and mouse 8 are used for various input operations and processing operations. The printer 9 performs output printing.

FIG. 3 shows an example of a screen display used for input operation. The input operation is performed by the operator pointing the input point with the cursor while displaying a necessary screen on the CRT 4. FIG. 3 shows an example of the two required screens. The screen 10 is shown in FIG.
Is a screen disclosing a one-column table of an aircraft as shown in FIG. 3, and displays including the transit destinations of aircraft names (numbers) TSA # 1 to TSA # 100. In addition to this route, there are also examples of displaying the starting point and the ending point, and displaying the scheduled time of takeoff and landing. When the worker designates one aircraft on the display screen 10 with the cursor (arrow), the screen is updated and the corresponding instruction screen of the input screens 11, 12, ..., 13 appears. Here, the input screens 11, 12, ..., 13 correspond one-to-one to the aircraft numbers # 1 to # 100.

The screens 10 and 11, 12, ...
It is stored in the MM2 or the auxiliary memory 3 in the form of a display format, and when the CPU1 reads it, the CRT is displayed.
4 is displayed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the input screen.
This is an input screen of a certain aircraft, for example, an input table (column) that enables input and departure from Narita, takeoffs and landings at Narita, and takeoffs and landings at stopovers 1 and 2 in this order from input point to. . The order of input is →→ …… →. The data (time) from these 6 input points are unknown,
Following the actual takeoff of the aircraft from Narita, the order will be followed, and the contact will be input each time. The contact method is often via the communication I / F 6, but there are examples such as telephone contact. Here, when the input screen is displayed, the cursor (arrow) is always automatically and forcibly moved to the input point to be input. Then, the worker simply inputs the time, and the system side automatically inputs the time at the input point designated by the cursor. Here, latch the latest input point of the previous time, read the previous input point at the time of the latest input, and increment the number by 1 to become the latest input point, so that the cursor automatically and forcibly moves to this latest input point. It has a soft structure.

FIG. 1 is a processing flow chart of the present invention. In step S1, an instruction to display the selection screen of FIG. 4 is issued, and in step S2, the selection screen is displayed in accordance with this instruction. From the selection screen, an instruction to select the aircraft to be input is given (step S3). Next, the input screen shown in FIG. 5 is selected and displayed (steps S4, 5). On this input screen, a cursor is displayed at the latest input point to be input. When the operator inputs the takeoff / landing time, the takeoff / landing time is automatically input to the input point of the cursor instruction (step S6). Simultaneously with this input, the new input point is latched in the memory (for example, MM2) (step S7). Finally, this input screen that has been input is converted into data and stored in a memory (for example, M
Return to M2).

The above processing is performed for all aircraft at the time of inputting the takeoff / landing time. And the latest input point will be latched for aircraft, and for each aircraft,
The latest input point in the latch corresponding to each time input is read out, and by adding +1 to this, the latest input point is selected and the cursor is forcedly and automatically moved. The initial value to be latched is "1", which indicates the first position (in FIG. 5) of the time occurrence position. Therefore, in the initial input screen, the cursor is always displayed at the position shown in FIG. 5 and is the first input point. Even with this initial position as the starting point, the latch numbers such as +1 for 2 → + 1 for 3 → + 1 for 4 → ... In the example of FIG. 5, since there is no number after the position, the latch contents are cleared and the process returns to the initial position.

The above embodiment is an example of taking off and landing of an aircraft, but as described above, it can be naturally applied to the entry / exit management of a car parking lot. In addition, it can be applied to a general system in which time series input is performed by displaying a screen each time.
