  • Patent number: 6628996
    Abstract: An input control apparatus mounted on a semiconductor device manufacturing equipment, or the semiconductor device manufacturing equipment, which subjects a plurality of processes to a substrate to manufacture semiconductor devices. A display unit includes a touch panel configured to input data regarding the processes. An input detection section detects a start of inputting of the data from the touch panel and an elapse of a predetermined period of time from the start of inputting of the data. A neglecting section neglects at least one input following a first input, the at least one input and the first input being input within the predetermined period of time, to receive only the first input.

  • Patent number: 6078313
    Abstract: A touch panel type display apparatus includes an input controller having an input detector for detecting the start and end of an input period for a display panel, a reflecting circuit for reflecting the detection result of the input detector on a flag area, a notification circuit for notifying a display controller of the detection result, a period detector of detecting the elapse of a first period from the start of the input period on the basis of the recognition result of the flag area and repeatedly detecting the elapse of a second period shorter than the first period upon the elapse of the first period on the basis of the recognition result of the flag area, an input updating circuit for, when the end of the input period is detected before the first elapse of the second period, recognizing detection of the end of the input period as one input completion cycle, and when the input period continues after the first elapse of the second period, recognizing an input completion cycle every time the second period
