DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for selecting and inputting desired items in a system for processing slips and the like by a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a large amount of slip processing has been performed by operating application package software for performing slip processing in a computer system. In inputting in a slip processing system using such a computer, a fast and accurate item input method excellent in a man-machine interface is required to reduce the burden on the operator.

[0003] As a conventional item input method, there is a method of selecting and inputting a word (reserved word) registered in a dictionary in advance. This is a state in which a slip to be processed is displayed on the display of the computer system, a dictionary is read out based on an instruction of an operator, and a list (or a part) of prepared reserved words is displayed. When an operator performs a selection operation, a desired reserved word is extracted from the dictionary and displayed at a predetermined position (for example, a portion where a cursor is located) on the display screen.

An example of this processing will be described with reference to FIG.
On the slip display screen (not shown), a desired summary reserved word is selected by an operator's instruction, and is transcribed on the slip (61).

[0005] By the way, the selected summary reserved word is filled with, for example, the last input date and the like, and if the value is different from the value to be currently written, the cursor is moved to the display position of the item to be corrected. Then, correction is made by overwriting by operating the keys. (62).

[0006]

As described above, in the prior art, portions that are originally variable in a slip, such as a date, a customer, and a destination, among reserved words, are fixed values or Although it is blank, it is possible to select a reserved word, take it out of the dictionary and enter it, but eventually you have to return the cursor to the entered item and make corrections. Therefore, the flow of a series of processes is disturbed by the operator, making it difficult to use and time consuming. Also, I made a typo at the time of correction,
In some cases, mistakes were made in the item contents.

The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and has an excellent man-machine interface.
An object is to provide an efficient and accurate item input method.

[0008]

An item input method in a data processing system according to the present invention displays a whole or a part of data 3 to be processed on a display means and processes the data based on an instruction from the input means. A data processing system configured to execute and read a desired reserved word from the reserved word dictionary based on a selection instruction of an input unit and to transfer the read reserved word to the display unit. First means 1 for extracting an item to be converted from the reserved word, and extracting data corresponding to the extracted conversion item from data to be processed, and converting the data into a conversion item portion of the reserved word. Second means 2 for writing,
The reserved word in which the conversion item is written is transcribed to the display means.

[0009]

That is, according to the present invention, since the data of the items to be changed among the reserved words are often included in the data 3 to be processed, the items to be converted of the selected reserved words are determined by the processing system. The corresponding data is extracted from the data to be processed, written into a reserved word, and transcribed to the display means.

For example, in the case of a system for processing slips,
If date information etc. is already written in the voucher currently being processed, when the system recognizes that the date information will be posted,
Date information is extracted from the information of this slip and incorporated into a reserved word.

As described above, according to the present invention, the data of the conversion item in the reserved word can be automatically extracted and written on the display screen without operating the input means by the operator.

[0012]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the processing of one embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a conversion item reference table;
Is a conversion item determination unit, 21 is a data transfer unit (data transfer program), and 30 is processing target data in which data corresponding to the conversion item is stored.

Reference numeral 40 denotes a selected reserved word;
0 indicates a state in which a conversion item has been input. FIG. 4 and 5 show slip entry screens according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 100 denotes a screen on which slip information is displayed.

In the present embodiment, description will be made on the assumption that the operator performs a process of transferring a desired reserved word to a blank space of "line 2" where the cursor 101 is currently located in the state shown in FIG. First, when the operator instructs to call the reserved word dictionary by an operation such as pressing a predetermined key, the contents of the reserved word dictionary are newly added to the window 110 as shown in FIG.
Is displayed when is opened.

The operator, based on the display contents of the reserved word dictionary,
By operating an input means (not shown), for example,
(111) is selected. The processing so far is the same as that of the prior art.

In this embodiment, when a reserved word is selected, the conversion item judging unit 12 operates to extract an item to be rewritten from the selected reserved word 40. This is executed by the conversion item determination unit 12 searching for the reserved word 40 and checking the reserved word 40 against the contents of the conversion item reference table 11.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, when a new variable reserved word is selected, the conversion item judging unit 12 refers to the data reference table 11 to indicate the year of the slip date (in the slip to be processed). Y "represents the conversion item and the month of the slip date"
= M ”and“ KKK2 ”representing the credit subject name
Extract the conversion items of Although omitted in FIG. 1, the conversion item reference table 12 has other conversion items in addition to the above.

Since the conversion item reference table 12 stores parameters corresponding to the conversion items, the conversion item determination unit reads the parameters for each of the extracted items, and passes the parameters to the data transfer unit 21.

The data transfer unit 21 extracts the data of the conversion item from the information of the related part in the processing data 30 based on the received parameter for each conversion item. The relevant portion includes, for example, the date of the slip, the date of the processing, and the like. These information are already stored in the processing data 30 (the file storing the information of the slip). You can take it out by reading it.

In the example of FIG. 4, if the information of the year and month of the slip date is obtained, the conversion items of "= Y" and "= M" can be obtained. These pieces of information are already written in the column of the slip date 120, that is, since the corresponding information is present in the data to be processed, the data transfer unit extracts the corresponding field and obtains the information of the year from the slip date (upper 2). Digit) and month information (the next two digits) are extracted and written into the corresponding conversion item portion in the reserved word.

The reserved word in which the data of the conversion item is written in this way is transcribed on the display screen 100 as shown in FIG. The transcribed position 102 is the position 101 of the cursor in FIG.

In this way, the reserved word does not need to be converted, and the input process ends.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since there is no need to perform correction input when selecting items,
It is possible to realize a processing system that enables accurate item input and requires less labor (time) and is excellent in man-machine interface.
