Abstract: An input system of macro activation for rapidly activating a pre-recorded macro procedure includes a memory module, an input recognition module, a data processing unit, and a macro-processing unit. The memory module stores at least one recognition sample and a macro-activating command corresponding to the recognition sample. The input recognition module is used to read in a data to be recognized. The data processing unit receives the data to be recognized and determines whether the data to be recognized matches the recognition sample. If the data to be recognized matches the recognition sample, the data processing unit retrieves the macro-activating command from the memory module and issues the macro-activating command to the macro-processing unit, which is connected to the data processing unit. The macro-processing unit performs the pre-recorded macro procedure upon receiving the macro-activating command.
