Full Description:
This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 09/263,565 filed Mar. 8, 1999 incorporated herein by reference. 
    
    
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention concerns improvements in personal computer systems, and specifically automatic mouse operation systems. The improvements are provided to memorize the PC mouse operation processes, to reproduce them, and to operate the PC mouse, automatically. 
     Up to now, operation of a personal computer (PC) has been extremely difficult and puzzling for the inexperienced beginner. Various guide books and instruction manuals have been prepared, and also in PC software explanatory notes are included in the form of “HELP” displays on the screen. 
     On the other hand, when the beginner reads these materials, tries to understand them, and tries to operate the PC according to the operational instructions, he or she is sure to meet with difficulties in the PC basic operations, because of little or no background knowledge of specialized terminology and also because of initial inability to locate the position of the correct designated object on the display. 
     Therefore, in case of no support or no guidence from the operation expert, the beginner is compelled to repeat what is called “trial and error”, or to waste time and labor looking into the explanatory booklet. 
     A series of PC operations such as PC start-up and stop operations, for connecting to PC telecommunications etc. require repetition of the same or similar operations, each use time. 
     Even the experienced operator finds such repeated operations troublesome, and wishes to have them eliminated. Especially to the inexperienced operator, these repeated operations have become a major reason for causing resistance as well as enmity against the PC. 
     Currently, as one means of simplifying these operational jobs, the command signal is pre-registered as part of the start-up program by function key operation of the keyboard, and at the time the PC is switched on, the means for running these programs automatically, or the means for using the Macro program, are put into effect. 
     However, the so-called Macro function is hardly suitable for general purposes, so that it is difficult to add, subsequently, the Macro function to the software without the Macro function previously installed. 
     In addition, the production of software with the Macro function installed, at the early production stage, leads to substantial increases in the number of program steps which eventually brings about a substantial increase in the number of production processes, in the development periods, and in development cost. 
     Accordingly, the use of commercial software for business use with the Macro function installed has been minimal. 
     For these reasons simplification of the PC operation has not been desirably advanced, so that in order to learn how to operate the PC, it has been necessary to try to read the thick and obtuse instruction manual and to understand its contents and to repeat “Trial and Error” in the PC operation. Even experienced operators have to repeat troublesome operations. 
     As regards currently used software, with the Macro function installed, which is designed for similar objectives, the operations involved at the time of memorizing the data are complicated, and the processes are not visible to the user at the time of reproducing the PC operation, so that such software is not suitable for use in learning mouse operations required to reach the designated display. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention seeks to eliminate such problems and inconveniences, as earlier mentioned. 
     In accordance with the invention, PC user knowledgeable in the use of the designated software first operates the PC to pre-store in the memory the PC operation information, employing mouse operation process data for each designated job, and its operation interval time data combined, by use of memory means with a retrieval number, combined. 
     Because of such pre-arrangement for memory, the beginner, by merely designating the identification number and switching on the start-up signal, is able to re-produce a series of mouse operation data pre-stored in the memory as earlier referenced, in accordance with the pre-memorization and thereby causes the responding PC to represent or display information in accordance with mouse operations, one after another. This makes possible the automatic performance of PC operation tasks. 
     In accordance with the invention, the mouse operation data representation system incorporates an exterior adapter device for the PC, with a microcomputer installed therein, exclusively for the mouse control, and which operates in parallel to and independently of the PC main driving circuitry. That exterior adaptor device is equipped with a remote control table and facilities for key data transmission and reception. 
     The mouse operation data representation system is designed to memorize and reproduce the mouse operation data, by connection of the mouse and its exterior adaptor device to the serial port and to the mouse socket, at the PC, employing connecting cables for operation in concert with programs installed in the PC and installed in the microcomputer. 
     At the time of operating the data memory mode of the afore-mentioned mouse operation representation system, the mouse click code signal is stored in the memory of the program in steps detailed as follows: 
     By operation of the mouse connected to the afore-mentioned exterior adaptor device, the click signal output from the mouse is coded in the afore-mentioned microcomputer at that device, and the mouse click code signal is inputted into the PC in real time via the signal lead connecting the adapter device to the serial port of the PC. 
     By operation of the mouse and the data memory/reproduction program installed in the PC, the afore-mentioned mouse click code signal input is identified as the mouse click operation, and the data obtained for the values of X and Y coordinates of the mouse cursor on the display, by means of the coordinates retrieval command of the program, are set as the data for the cursor coordinates position on the display at the time of the click. 
     Further on, the time interval between a previous click and the next click is computed by the program, and this value is set as the click time interval data. These click time interval data and the afore-mentioned mouse cursor coordinates data are combined in the form of one set, and multiple sets of such data obtained in such manner, as above, are stored in the memory of the program by giving the address number designated by the user. 
     At the time of reproduction operation mode of the afore-mentioned mouse operation representation system, by the address number designated by the operation of the input means by the user, the afore-mentioned mouse operation data pre-stored in memory are retrieved. And, the PC is operated automatically by the following described input means. 
     First, after retrieving the afore-mentioned mouse operation data pre-stored in the afore-mentioned memory by the address number designated by the operation of the input means by the user, and detecting the next mouse click position on the display by the program processing bases upon the reproduced mouse cursor coordinates data, the mouse cursor is shifted consecutively from its current position to its designated position, at a speed the human eyes can recognize as is shifting movement. 
     Second, after the lapse of time corresponding to the click time interval data, by inputting the mouse click code signal from the PC to the afore-mentioned microcomputer by the reproduced mouse operation data, the mouse click signal generated in the microcomputer is input into the mouse socket of the PC via the signal lead. 
     At the time of memory mode operation of the afore-mentioned mouse operation representation system, by means of the mouse operation, the pulse signal output from the mouse is first coded in the afore-mentioned microcomputer. And then, by generating the mouse operation coding data consisting of X-axis direction and Y-axis direction shift pulse number in connection with their shifting distance to the designated position, and the time interval between one click and the next one, this pulse signal is input into the PC via the serial port of the PC, and stored in the memory with the address number designated by the operation of the input means by the user, and the afore-mentioned mouse coding data combined, by the mouse operation coding data memory program installed in the PC. 
     The following concerns the afore-mentioned mouse operation representation system. At the time of mouse operation data reproduction mode of the afore-mentioned mouse operation representation system, by means of the mouse operation coding data memory/reproduction program installed in the PC, the afore-mentioned mouse operation coding data pre-stored in the memory is reproduced by retrieving the address number designated by the operation of the following input means by the user. 
     1) Means is provided for inputting the reproduced mouse operation coding data into the microcomputer installed in the exterior adaptor device via the serial port. 
     2) Means is provided for inputting the afore-mentioned mouse control signal into the PC via the mouse signal lead connecting the aforement mentioned exterior adaptor device to the mouse socket of the PC, after generating the mouse control signal consisting of the X-axis and Y-axis direction shift signals for moving the mouse controlled cursor to the designated position on the display and the click signal to be produced at the time interval in compliance with the time data, according to the mouse operation coding data input by the afore-mentioned microcomputer. 
     With the above input means executed, the PC is automatically operated. 
     As above explained, the mouse operation representation system of the invention makes a variety of PC automatic processing jobs possible by means of representing mouse operation data pre-stored in the memory just by inputting the address number designated by the operation of the remote control. 
     Accordingly, it is a further object of the invention to provide: 
     a) mouse signal representation circuitry operatively connecting to the mouse and to the computer internal circuitry, and responsive to remote control operation to input pre-prepared data to the computer, and 
     b) there also being a mouse signal line or lines operatively connected to the computer internal circuitry, and a keyboard signal line or lines operatively connected to the computer internal circuitry. 
     A further object is to provide, in combination with a personal computer having internal driving circuitry, a serial port, a mouse connection socket, a key data input keyboard, and a mouse, improvement apparatus for effecting representation by the computer of selected start-up data, that includes 
     a) first means for inputting to said driving circuitry, and via said serial port, reproduced mouse operation coding data, 
     b) an exterior adapter device, and 
     c) second means for inputting into said circuitry, and via said adapter device and said mouse connection socket, a mouse control signal consisting of X-axis and Y-axis direction shift signals for moving the mouse controlled cursor to the designated position on the display. 
     Yet another object includes the provision of a microcomputer at said adapter device, for receiving the mouse click code signal from said computer circuitry after a lapse of time corresponding to click time interval data, and for inputting into the mouse socket at the computer a mouse click signal generated in the microcomputer.

       410  is for the completion mark. 
     FIG. 5 is the flow chart for the process where the mouse operation data pre-memorized are reproduced and then the PC is automatically operated. 
     After the PC display is set for the designated process for automatic operation, at process  501  the PC automatic operation process (reproduction process) is initiated. 
     The first appearance is the process  502  for a table of contents. This shows the entire table of contents for every kind of the PC operation data pre-memorized in the memory address installed in the program, along with the address number. 
     Next comes the process for designation of the address number by the user&#39;s operation. Three means are installed for input. They are the input means or remote control table  503 , for mouse operation  504  and for keyboard  505 . 
     After the address number input process  506  is executed by any of these means, the execution key is pressed at process  507 , and then the PC automatic operation is initiated. 
     At the process  508  just after this initiation execution, the window of the PC automatic operation program is minimized and kept in the inactive status. 
     However, at the same time, the designated display for automatic operation is put in the active status at process  509 , but based on the mouse operation data output one after another from the PC automatic operation program in an inactive status, the mouse automatic operation signal is input into the mouse socket of tho PC  100  and as a result the mouse cursor as activated object on the display is automatically controlled. 
     At process  510 , the first reproduction process is executed, and at process  511  the Nth step is executed on a successive base. 
     At process  512 , from the reproduced mouse operation data, the X Y coordinates values for the position of the next mouse click in the display are retrieved. 
     The means for shifting the cursor to the designated position are either of the following. 
     The one is for the shift and the placement of the mouse cursor by program command a processes  513  and  514 . 
     The other is for the shift and the placement of the mouse cursor by the shift pulse signal generated from the mouse signal representation device at processes  515 ,  516 , and  517 . 
     Either of the above two is executable. 
     As one of the means, the mouse operation coding data are input into the mouse signal representation device  101  from the PC side at process  515 . At process  516 , the shift pulse signal is input into the mouse socket of the PC from the mouse signal representation device  101  in order to make the mouse cursor shift. And, at process  517 , the mouse cursor placement at the designated position is executed by means of the shift pulse signal. 
     As the other means, at process  513 , toward the designated position of the next mouse cursor on the display, the mouse cursor is shifted by means of the program control at the high speed the user can recognize its shift visually, and it is placed at the designated position by means of the program control. Since the placement no mouse cursor on the display is made directly by means of the program command, it is possible to put the mouse cursor in the right position, even if the position of mouse cursor is deviated because of mul-function in the course of its shifting. 
     Subsequently, after the arrival of the mouse cursor at its designated position at process  518 , the click signal is input into the mouse signal representation device  101  from the PC side as the mouse operation data at process  519 . And, at process  520 , the click signal is reproduced at the clicktime interval indicated by the mouse operation data, out of the mouse signal representation device l 01 . 
     At process  522 , the PC is operated in accordance with the click action. 
     Next, at process  523 , the next step is executed through process  525 , until the mouse operation data completion code is retrieved at process  523 . 
     When the mouse operation data completion code is retrieved at process  523 , the reproduction process of the mouse operation representation system is completed at process  524 . 
     FIG. 6 is for the flow chart for the mouse operation data production and memory process. After the PC display is set to that for the object to be processed by automatic operation, the mouse operation memory process is initiated at process  601 . What appears first is process  602  for a table of contents. The table of various contents of automatic PC operation data pre-stored in the memory address of the program appears on the display along with the respective address numbers. 
     Then, comes the process for the address number designation by the user operation. As the input means, the means from the remote control table— 603  and the means by keyboard— 604  are executed. After the address number input process  605  is executed hy these means, the start-up process  606  is executed by pressing the execution key and the process for the mouse operation data production and memory is initiated. Just after this initiation, the window for the PC automatic operation is minimized in size and is kept in an inactive state. 
     At the same time, the display for the designated object for the automatic operation is put into an active state. What comes next is the successive execution of the mouse operations for the display of the designated object for automatic operation or for the program—by the operation of the user. At each mouse click. the mouse operation data as shown in FIG. 3 are generated in the microcomputer  204  of the mouse signal representation device  101 , and input into the PC via the mouse operation data signal lead  109  connected to RS232C socket, an placed in the memory of the PC automatic operation program. 
       607  is for the process for control of the order of the click operation, with the order set as  1  in the beginning and at addition process  608  with one at a time for addition. At process  609 , the mouse cursor is brought to the desired position on the display by the operation of mouse by the user. 
     When the mouse click operation is made at process  610 , the mouse operation data are stored in the memory at each mouse click. On this occassion, the retrival of the values of X Y coordinates for the point on the display at the time of click is made, either by means of the program of microcomputer  204  installed in the mouse signal representation device  101 , or by means of the PC automatic operation program installed in the PC  100 , or by means of retrieving the click signal only at MICON  204  installed in the mouse signal representation device  101 , and inputting YES or NO of the click signal into the PC automatic operation program installed in the PC and retrieving the values of X Y coordinates bit the PC automatic operation program. It is entirely up to the user which of the above means is to be chosen. In this manner, the PC operation process  611  advances. In case of the means of the PC automatic operation program at process  612 , the values of X Y coordinates for the point on the display at the time of click are obtained directly by the program command. In case no the means of the microcomputer  204  installed in the mouse signal representation device  101 , the positioning data are obtained as the shift pulse number to the designated position. 
     Subsequently, at process  613 , the time interval between one click and the next is measured up in the unit of second. At process  614 , the mouse operation data concerning one click are produced by combining the coordinates Values data for the means of click or the shift number data to the click position with he afore-mentioned time interval data in a set. 
     Next, at process  615 , YES or NO of operation of memory completion key is retrieved. In case of NO, the next mouse operation data production process is repeated. In case the memory completion key is pressed, at process  616 , the coordinates values data at the afore-mentioned click position produced a each click for plural clicks or shift number data to the click position and the afore-mentioned time interval data and the address data produced at process  605 —all these combined in one set, are placed in the memory of the PC automatic operation program installed in the PC. 
     FIG. 7 is for the entire trace of the cursor shown in the PC display  701 , at the afore-mentioned reproduction process in the mouse operation reproduction system of the invention in question. 
     The shifting status of the mouse cursor from its current position on the display to the next click position continues to be shown, while the position of the mouse is shifted gradually from the current position to the next click position at the speed the eyes of the user can catch it visually. This mouse cursor shifting indication shows to the user the direction of the next click position, and also makes it easier for the user to identify the position of the next click. 
       702  is set as the original starting point on the display for the first placement of mouse cursor at the afore-mentioned reproduction process. The upper left end of the display is fixed as this original starting point. 
       703  is for the entire trace of mouse cursor at the first step of the automatic reproduction. 
       704  is for the click position at the first step. 
       705  is for the entire trace of the mouse cursor at the second step. 
       706  is for the click position at the second step. 
     FIG. 8 is the drawing for remote control key placement. 
       801  is for ten keys from 0 to 9. 
       802  is for reproduction key. 
       803  is for execution key. 
       804  is for memory key. 
       805  is for cancellation key. 
       806  is for completion key.

     FIG. 9 is the drawing for the circuitry construction for click signal processing means for the mouse operation representation system of the invention in question. 
       901  is for the mouse which is equipped with the same construction and functions as the conventional mouse, but with new addition of signal lead  904 . 
       903  is for the switch for left click. When this switch is put on, click retrieval signal lead  904  for mouse control IC  907  is connected to +5V power supply lead  902  and +5V is input into click retrieval lead  904 . 
       905  is for mouse data signal lead which transmits/and receives mouse control signal between mouse control IC and PC circuitry. 
       906  is for mouse ball. 
       908  is for pulse generation circuitry. When reproduction click signal  909  output from MICON  916  is input, +5V power supply lead  910  is connected to click retrieval signal lead  904 , and +5V is input into click retrieval lead  904 . This generates such circuitry activation as equivalent case of the click switch being pressed manually. 
     Next,  911  is for the click signal retrieval circuitry. When the click switch  903  is presser by the user&#39;s operation, click retrieval signal lead  904  is changed to +5V. When this voltage change is retrieved, click retrieval signal  912  is input into MICON  916 . 
       913  is for light reception device. It receives infrared remote control signal  914 , retrieves remote control signal  915 , and input it into MICON  916 . 
       917  is for the click &amp; remote control data lead, which transmits/and receives the click signal and remote control data signal between MICON  916  and PC via RS232C socket  918  and RS232C circuit  919 .
