Abstract

Abstract A control data input apparatus for feeding control data to an electronic apparatus, wherein words of a natural language representing a plurality of control commands for a controlled system are received and, after analysis of the natural language expressed by a combina­tion of the words, the control commands are fed to the controlled system so that control of such system is rendered executable by the input natural language. The apparatus comprises word input means with an input keyboard (10) provided correspondingly to words of a natural language which represents a plurality of control commands for a controlled system, and natural language processing means (20, 30, 40) responsive to a word input from the input keyboard of the word input means and functioning to analyze the natural language expressed by a combination of the words from the word input means, thereby forming data of control commands represented by the natural language. The control commands represented by the natural language analyzed by the natural language processing means are fed to a controlled system (50, 60).
