Multi-level input system, computer program product and method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a multi-level input system, a computer program product and a method thereof. The multi-level input system comprises a computer, a hardware input device, and a load executive program which provides at least one group of virtual logic input devices, and the virtual logic input devices are specified in preset application software and controlled by the hardware input device, convert the instructions of the hardware input device according to the requirements of the application software and send the instructions to the specified application software. The multi-level input method comprises the following steps of starting the instructions by the hardware input device or the application software, providing, by the computer program, at least one group of virtual logic input devices according to the instructions, specifying the virtual logic input devices in the preset application software, and controlling the virtual logic input devices by external hardware. The invention further provides a computer program product. Thus, the invention is capable of meeting the input requirements of all work, outputting predetermined data according to setting, and cooperating with the hardware input device or running independently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a computer program product, in particular to a multi-level input system and a computer program that can meet the input requirements of various operations, can output predetermined data according to settings, and can be combined with hardware input devices or operate independently Products and their methods. Background technique [0002] Today's computer system has become one of the most important tools for human beings, but whether it is a wired input device or a wireless input device, the usage mode of the general public is still restricted by the designer. For example, the most commonly used hardware input devices are devices such as mouse, keyboard and joystick. As long as the hardware input device is connected to the computer, it can automatically find a compatible driver, so that the hardware input device can be recognized by the computer and communicate with each other. The problem with this prior art technique i...

Problems solved by technology

However, there is no technology on the market that enables hardware input devices and software logic input devices to exist on a stand-alone computer at the same time.

[0007] It is worth mentioning that although some input method software currently has a virtual panel with a small keyboard for punctuation marks, this software program is only used as a selection of punctuation marks, and it is completely an application status of the software, and it does not cooperate with the HID group (manual input method). The program specifications of the interface device group Human Interface Device cannot be independent of the original mouse and keyboard, and the aforementioned traditional technology is performing text input on the same application software as the original mouse and keyboard, and will not be on the computer. Corresponding to a newly available hardware input device in the device manager, it also presents its shortcomings:

[0008] First, the punctuation keypad cannot replace the physical keyboard at all, but is only used for accompanying operations

[0009] Second, the function is limited to inputting punctuation marks with the mouse while the keyboard is operating the input method. The two cannot be operated at the same time, nor can they be operated on different application software

[0010] Third, with the advancement of online games and network sharing technologies, all online users in the past were limited by personal computer equipment, and could not share and communicate part of the operations with other users while working

[0011] Fourth, this kind of punctuation keypad also cannot achieve the effect of increasing, changing and switching according to demand, and it cannot allow users to communicate with each other to enhance their operating experience.

[0012] This shows that above-mentioned existing input device and input method thereof obviously still have inconvenience and defect in product structure, method and use, and urgently need to be further improved

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the relevant manufacturers have tried their best to find a solution, but no suitable design has been developed for a long time, and there is no suitable structure and method for general products and methods to solve the above-mentioned problems. This is obviously a problem that relevant industry players are eager to solve
