Außerdem sind spezielle Kommunikationsein­ richtungen und Schaltungsanordnungen bekannt, die zur Steue­ rung von Programmabläufen dienen. Ein hervorragendes Bei­ spiel dieser Art ist der Joystick, der z.B. zur Steuerung von Spielprogrammen herangezogen wird. Auch andere Eingabe­ einrichtungen, wie z.B. die sogenannte "Maus", ermöglichen eine interaktive Arbeit mit einem Computeranwenderprogramm. Die genannten Eingabeeinrichtungen sind durch die gemeinsame Eigenschaft gekennzeichnet, nur einer einzelnen Person als Eingabemedium zu dienen.Interactive communication with a personal computer usually takes place via peripheral operating elements. The main input medium are the different types of keyboards ( 24 ). In addition, special Kommunikationein devices and circuit arrangements are known, which serve for the control of program sequences. An excellent example of this type is the joystick, which is used, for example, to control game programs. Other input devices, such as the so-called "mouse", enable interactive work with a computer user program. The input devices mentioned are characterized by the common property of only serving as an input medium for a single person.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Steuern von Anwenderprogrammabläufen eines Computers und eine unkomplizierte und einfach zu handhabende Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens zu schaffen, mit deren Hil­ fe mehrere Personen gleichzeitig und voneinander unabhängig mit einem Computer kommunizieren und somit den Ablauf von ein und demselben Computeranwenderprogramm gestalten können. Dies wird durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren und der Ein­ richtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens mit den kennzeich­ nenden Merkmalen der Patentansprüche erreicht. Darüber hi­ naus hat die Einrichtung den Vorzug, schon in der einfach­ sten Ausbauform der Handtastaturen mit wenigen Tasten, das angestrebte Ziel zu erreichen.

In Fig. 1 ist mit (23) der Computer, mit (24) als Stan­ dardeingabe ein Keybord und mit (1) die Interfacekarte be­ zeichnet, mit deren Hilfe der Computerbus (2) adaptiert wird und welche über ein Steckverbinderkabel (4) die Ver­ bindung zur Verteilereinrichtung (5) realisiert. Die Ver­ teilereinrichtung (5) ist so aufgebaut, daß mehrere Hand­ tastaturen mittels eines Steckverbinders (6) und einer flexiblen Kabelverbindung (7) angeschlossen werden können. Die Signaleingabe an den Computer erfolgt mit den verschie­ denen Eingabetasten (11). Die Signalausgabe vom Computer zum Teilnehmer wird mit der LED-Signallampe (10) erzielt.In Fig. 1 with ( 23 ) the computer, with ( 24 ) as a standard input a keyboard and with ( 1 ) the interface card be, with the help of which the computer bus ( 2 ) is adapted and which via a connector cable ( 4 ) Ver connection to the distribution device ( 5 ) realized. The distribution device Ver ( 5 ) is constructed so that several hand keyboards can be connected by means of a connector ( 6 ) and a flexible cable connection ( 7 ). The signals are input to the computer with the various input keys ( 11 ). The signal output from the computer to the participant is achieved with the LED signal lamp ( 10 ).

Fig. 2 zeigt das Prinzipschaltbild der elektronischen Schaltung der Einrichtung. Die diskrete Signaleingabe er­ folgt mittels eines Spannungsteilers, wobei sich der erste Widerstand des Spannungsteilers (16) im Verteiler (5) be­ findet und mit einem Ende an die Signaleingabeleitung (15) führt, die von der Handtastatur (8) kommend, über den Ver­ teiler (5) und dem Kabelanschluß (4) die Verbindung auf ei­ nen Eingang (19) der Interfacekarte (1) herstellt. Der zwei­ te Widerstand (14) befindet sich innerhalb der Handtastatur (8) und wird mittels Tastenkontakt (12) an die Masseleitung (13) geschaltet. Den einzelnen Tasten (12) sind Widerstände (14) mit unterschiedlichen Widerstandswerten zugeordnet. Durch einen Tastendruck fließt Strom von der Versorgungs­ spannung (17) über den ersten Widerstand (16) und dem je­ weiligen zweiten Widerstand (14) des Spannungsteilers zur Masseleitung (13), so daß aufgrund der entstehenden Span­ nungsteilung auf der Eingabeleitung (15) eine Spannung ent­ steht, die über den Verteiler (5) zum Eingang des Multiple­ xers (19) auf der Interfacekarte führt und von dem nachfol­ genden Analogwandler (20) in einen Digitalwert umgesetzt wird. Die nachgeschaltete Bussteuerschaltung (18) stellt die Schnittstelle zum Computerbus (2) dar und gewährleistet die Übernahme der digitalen Werte. Bei der Signalausgabe nimmt die Bussteuerschaltung (18) digitale Werte vom Computerbus (2) entgegen und gibt sie an die Ausgabeschaltung (21) wei­ ter. Von dort gelangen die Signale auf den Ausgabeleitungen über den Verteiler (5) zu den LED-Signallampen der einzelnen Handtastaturen. Fig. 2 shows the basic circuit diagram of the electronic circuit of the device. The discrete signal input it follows by means of a voltage divider, the first resistor of the voltage divider ( 16 ) being in the distributor ( 5 ) and having one end leading to the signal input line ( 15 ) coming from the hand-held keyboard ( 8 ) via the Ver divider ( 5 ) and the cable connection ( 4 ) establishes the connection to an input ( 19 ) of the interface card ( 1 ). The two-th resistor ( 14 ) is located within the hand-held keyboard ( 8 ) and is connected to the ground line ( 13 ) by means of the key contact ( 12 ). Resistors ( 14 ) with different resistance values are assigned to the individual keys ( 12 ). By pressing a button, current flows from the supply voltage ( 17 ) via the first resistor ( 16 ) and the respective second resistor ( 14 ) of the voltage divider to the ground line ( 13 ), so that due to the resulting voltage division on the input line ( 15 ) Voltage arises which leads via the distributor ( 5 ) to the input of the multiple xer ( 19 ) on the interface card and is converted into a digital value by the following analog converter ( 20 ). The downstream bus control circuit ( 18 ) represents the interface to the computer bus ( 2 ) and ensures the adoption of the digital values. When the signal is output, the bus control circuit ( 18 ) accepts digital values from the computer bus ( 2 ) and passes them on to the output circuit ( 21 ). From there, the signals on the output lines go via the distributor ( 5 ) to the LED signal lamps of the individual hand-held keyboards.

Die Anzahl der Eingabemöglichkeiten ist mit der Anzahl der Tastenkombinationen festgelegt.The number of input options is the number of Keyboard shortcuts set.
