Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit such a troublesome operation to set again the time interval between the start of push of a key and the start of input of the key repeat by setting again automatically, the time interval set presently at the shorter value when the repeating push of the same key is recognized. CONSTITUTION:A fact that the second character is reset in a character string inputted with repeating input of a key via a retreat key which is inputted right after the end of input of the key repeat is recognized in a keyboard display device which is capable of input of the key repeat with continuous push of the same key. At the same time, the repeating push of the same key is also recognized. Then a means is used to change the time interval between the start of push of a key and the start of input of the key repeat. So that the time interval is set again at the longer value if the second character of a character string is reset with input of the retreat key carried out right after the end of input of the key repeat, and then at the shorter value with repeating push of the same key respectively. Thus it is possible to omit such a troublesome operation to set again the time interval.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an information processing device having a keyboard/display, and particularly to an information processing device having a keyboard/display.
The present invention relates to a display device.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional keyboard repeat input control method, a specified value is set for the time interval from the start of key press to the start of key repeat input, and if you want to change the value to a value other than the specified value, an ``adjustment key'' is provided on the function key. The specifications were such that the value to be changed was set after pressing the main key.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional keyboard repeat input control method described above is
A standard value for the time interval from the start of key press to the start of key repeat input is determined, and if the operator wants to change this standard value, the operator must set the time interval after pressing the function key, so the operator and keyboard In workplaces where there is no one-to-one correspondence between spray devices, there is a drawback that the above-mentioned standard values are changed, making it difficult to use.

[Means to solve the problem]

The keyboard repeat input control method of the present invention is a keyboard/display device that allows key repeat input by continuously pressing the same key. means for recognizing a return to the second character from the beginning of a column; means for recognizing repeated presses of the same key; means for changing a time interval from the start of key press to the start of repeat input; A means of resetting the time interval from the start of pressing to the start of key repeat input to be longer (1) if the backward key is inputted immediately after the end of key repeat input and returns to the second character, and shorter (1) if the same key is pressed repeatedly. including.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a processing flow of an embodiment of the present invention.

This routine 101 is called and executed every time one character is input. 102 means 10 if the input mode is repeat.
Proceed to 3, and if it is a single key manually, proceed to 109. In 103, CS is set to O, which counts whether the same single key other than the back key has been input 10 times in a row. At step 104, a counter CR indicating which character in the repeat input character string has been input is incremented by 1 (the initial value of CR is O).

At 105 and 106, if there are two characters in the input character string, the position on the display l is memorized by P. 107
, 108, the display position on the display is advanced by one and the input character is displayed there.

At 10, it is not in the repeat input state, so C8 is reset to 0 and the print-key manual mode is entered.

At 110, the input key is the back key (-” or BS
”...backspace), and if it is the backspace key, it is 1
11 sets C3 to O.

112 to 115, if the input key is ←'', the cursor position on the display is moved back one place, and if it is BS'', the current display position is rewritten with a space and the cursor position on the display is moved back one place. At 116, it is determined whether the position returned by the backward key is the second position in the key repeat input character string, and if it is the second position, at 117 the time interval t from the key press to the start of the key repeat input is made a little longer: t+α. However, t+
α does not exceed the maximum value (max>, (1+α, max)
The symbol represents the smaller value of t+α and max. At 118, P+O is set to mean that there is no repeat input character string.

Reference numeral 119 indicates a case where a key that is input and displayed forward as viewed from the display direction on the display is input, and an input key that is neither a repeat key nor a backward key is displayed on the display. 122 to 126 determine whether the same key has been repeatedly input 10 times, and when the same key has been input, the time interval from the start of key press to the start of key repeat input is slightly shortened to t-α. However, t-α does not exceed the minimum value (min). (
The symbol t−α, m1n) represents the larger value of t−α, min.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show the time interval from the start of key press to the start of key repeat input, and FIG. 2A shows the case where the specified value t=0.5 seconds. Figure 2(b) shows the automatic input interval setting routine (Figure 1).
17) is executed twice.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables key repeat input from the currently set key press start when the keyboard/display device recognizes that the keyboard/display device has returned to the second character due to the backward key input after the end of key repeat input. The time interval until the start can be set longer as a target, and when the same key is repeatedly pressed, the time interval from the currently set key press start to the start of key repeat input can be automatically set shorter. This has the effect of eliminating the hassle of having to manually reset the time interval from the start of key press to the start of key repeat input by the operator.

Claims (1)

[Claims] On a keyboard/display device that allows key repeat input by continuing to hold down the same key, returning to the second character from the beginning of the key repeat input string by pressing a backward key that is input immediately after the end of key repeat input. means for recognizing repeated presses of the same key; means for changing the time interval from the start of key press to the start of repeat input; and means for changing the time interval from the start of key press to the start of key repeat input using the means. The keyboard repeat function is characterized by comprising means for setting the repeat key to be longer when the back key is inputted continuously and returning to the second character immediately after the key repeat input is completed, and to shorter when the same key is repeatedly pressed. Input control method.
