METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INPUTTING DATA

摘要

A data inputting method of the invention uses a key input monitoring portion for receiving key input and mouse input from a user and for monitoring cursor position changes indicating character input positions and input data processing mode changes and a learning portion for learning the correlation between a sequence of cursor position changes and a sequence of input data processing mode changes extracted by the key input monitoring portion, so that when a change of the cursor position is informed from the key input monitoring portion, the cursor position after the position change is registered in a learning data table in the learning portion, while when a change of the input data processing mode is informed from the key input monitoring portion, the input data processing mode after the mode changing is registered in the learning data table in the learning portion, and that when a sequence of cursor position changes analogous to the pattern recorded in the learning data table is detected, the input data processing mode is changed by using the data registered in the learning data table.
