MIXED AND SHARED INPUT SYSTEM FOR MULTI-TYPE INPUT DEVICE OF DOCUMENT PROCESSOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To simplify input operations and to improve the input efficiency by adding various types of data on each input device to input data and processing such input data to attain the mixed and shared input with many types of input devices with no switching operation. CONSTITUTION:The input data includes various types of data of input devices 1-3. Such input data is stored in an input buffer 6 and the types of input devices 1-3 are decided at an input processing part 5 based on various types of data. Then the data is converted into such one that has no dependence on the input device and sent to a main processing part 8. Thus only the logical codes having no dependence on the types of the input device are sent to the part 8. Then the part 8 can process the data with no consciousness of the input device at all.
