Abstract
An electronic system for entering and analyzing data relating to at least one attribute of an object includes a data entry means displaying a pictorial image of the object and providing a plurality of first indicia for identifying a location of the attribute in the object, and a plurality of additional indicia for identifying a parameter of the attribute. The data identifying the attribute are entered in the system when one of the first indicia in combination with at least one of the additional indicia are activated. A controlling means within the data entry means controls the data entry means in response to the entered data, which are processed by a processing means. When installed on a workstation on a production line, the electronic system and the data entry means find particular utility in entering and processing data relating to location and nature of a defect occurring in a workplace, thereby providing in-depth readily-usable information on the status of the production process, such that effective corrective actions can be undertaken immediately. A unique software operates the system.

3. In combination with a processing means, an apparatus for entering at least one data associated with an object, said apparatus including:
-
a front screen, at least one sensing member disposed on the front screen, said at least one sensing member is associated with said at least one data to be entered, a key board disposed behind the front screen, and a controlling means disposed on the key board for controlling said processing means in response to activating said at least one sensing member, further including a sketch board disposed between the front screen and the key board, wherein the sketch board provides a pictorial image of the object displayed through the front screen, and wherein said at least one sensing member is associated with a respective part of the object, wherein the key board provides at least one key corresponding to said at least one sensing member, said at least one key having a contact portion, said front screen having at least one first aperture, and said sketch board having at least one second aperture, the first and the second apertures being in precise registration with each other and with said contact portion of said at least one key, such that said contact portion is protruded through the first and the second apertures, respectively.
