First Claim
1. An input data processing device comprising:
- a display unit displaying display image data showing a plurality of input regions representing a range of acceptable inputs of designation, said designation being made for controlling a predetermined apparatus;
a memory unit storing bit map data corresponding to said display image data, said bit map data including data corresponding to respective positions of said plurality of input regions to which different values are assigned respectively;
a position detecting portion for detecting a position designated on said display unit on which said display image data is displayed; and
an output portion for outputting a value corresponding to the designated position detected by said position detecting portion, according to said bit map data.

13. A computer program product for executing an input data process by a computer, said computer executing the process steps of:
-
displaying, on a display unit, an image showing a plurality of input regions representing a range of acceptable inputs of designation, said designation being made for controlling a predetermined apparatus;
detecting a position designated by a user on said image displayed on said display unit;
referring to the designated position having been detected and to bit map data having different values assigned respectively to positions to be designated; and
outputting a value corresponding to said designated position having been detected, according to said bit map data.
