A device for controlling a user input device to prevent inadvertent activation of the user input device includes a user input device for receiving user commands and an activation trigger associated with the input device. The activation trigger includes a mechanism that prevents incidental actuation. When the activation trigger is actuated, the input device is enabled to receive user commands for an amount of time dictated by a timer, and disabled when the timer has exhausted the amount of time.

In a method of processing data of a construction machine, a configuration file may be generated from master data of the construction machine stored in a server. The configuration file may be transmitted to the construction machine to share the configuration file between the server and the construction machine. New data of the construction machine may be selectively collected using the configuration file. The collected data may be transmitted to the server. Thus, the server and the data processor may share the configuration file generated from the master data of the construction machine with each other so that one kind of the data-collecting unit and the software may be commonly applied to all of the construction machines.
