Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Object of the Invention The present invention relates to a cursor control system for a character display device, and relates to operability.

Prior Art In conventional character display devices, only the cursor can be moved freely using the cursor movement key.

- The direction in which the cursor moves when inputting data is constant.

Select the direction in which the cursor moves when entering data.

I had no choice.

For example, as shown in Figure 1, input in the vertical direction.

and when making corrections to information that has already been entered.

First input the data and then use the cursor movement keys.

Move the cursor to the next input position.

It is a pain to have to input the data manually.

It was. 1.1
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of this invention is as described above.

It eliminates the problems of the conventional ones, such as vertical.

If you want to input data in the direction, enter vertically from the outside.

To provide a cursor control method for a character display device which has the effect of specifying that the cursor be moved in the direction and moving the cursor in that direction when data l-1 is input, thereby omitting cursor operation.

A feature of this invention is that in addition to normal cursor movement, the direction of movement can be specified from the outside.

and the cursor moves according to that specification.

Therefore, data entry can be done in any direction, up, down, left, or right.

You can also move the cursor without operating keys.

The purpose of this is to enable input.

Examples of the invention Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Explain in detail.

FIG. 2 shows a character display bag which is an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. ,.

The figure is a schematic circuit diagram.

The keyboard 1 has a control key 2 that determines the direction of cursor movement, and while pressing the control key 2, press the cursor movement key 3.

When any of 4.5.6 is pressed, the movement direction is held by the holding circuit 7 which holds the cursor movement direction, and in subsequent data input, the cursor is moved to one position in the direction held by the holding circuit 7. Move step by step. FIG. 1 is an example showing the movement of the cursor 8 during data input after pressing the cursor movement key 5 while pressing the control key 2.

In this case, the direction is a holding flip, a flop.

I set 9 and this flip, the flop 9 was saved.

While held, the cursor moves in that direction.

Move in the same direction until the next direction signal 10 comes.

move.

However, the device is in its initial state and initial state settings.

When the signal 11 comes, all the holding circuits 7 are reset.

Then, it enters the normal moving state. 1, move the cursor.

When keys 5, 4, 5, and 6 are pressed individually, only the cursor moves in the respective direction. .

Effect of the invention According to the invention, first the direction of movement of the cursor.

You only need to decide whether it's up, down, left or right.

However, data can be entered without the 1-1 step of using the data keys and cursor movement keys together.For example, when inputting data in the vertical direction, it is no longer necessary to operate the cursor movement keys 2, improving operability. There are benefits to be gained.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. Normal operation in a cursor control system of a character display device consisting of a character display section and a keyboard. At this time, the cursor indicating the input position is at that position. When data is input at a certain position, it is one position in a certain direction. Move, and then move back and forth through this action, but. By providing a function that allows you to specify the direction of movement from the outside, you can input data at the cursor position using your finger. The cursor moves in the specified direction, up, down, left, right, etc. The feature is that data can be entered in either direction. Cursor control method for character display devices.
