Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a list for displaying a list including a plurality of items on a screen of a display device, reading the list from a database and rearranging the list in a desired item order. It relates to a screen display device. For example, when dealing with business data such as planning, production, sales, and finance, the business data is displayed on a screen as a list in order to be useful for management and improvement. [0003] In this case, it is necessary to display data in the order of items that the user can easily see. However, when the number of items is large, it takes time to search and display the items, and depending on the display device, a desired order is required. Has the drawback that items cannot be arranged. Therefore, a display device capable of compensating for these drawbacks has been demanded. [0004] A conventional list screen display device will be described. [0005] First, the item moving method will be described.
The item moving method moves a heading item and displays it at a desired position. When the number of items in the list is large, not all items can be displayed on one screen, and as shown in FIG. 25, a display portion 1 and a non-display portion 2 indicated by a broken line are formed. At this time, for example, when it is desired to display the “person in charge” next to the “business office name”, the layout of the entire list shown in FIG. 25 is first grasped. This is grasped by scrolling the list by a predetermined key operation. FIG. 26 shows a screen state in which one item has been scrolled to the right from the state in FIG. 25, and FIG. 27 shows a state in which two items have been scrolled. In this way, the "person in charge" of the desired item is displayed on the screen. Next, a predetermined key operation is performed so as to move the "person in charge" portion surrounded by the thick line frame 3 in FIG. Next, as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, scrolling is sequentially performed to the left from this screen state to display the destination location. [0010] Then, in FIG.
Key operation to move the item field of "person in charge" to the item field of "." As a result, "person in charge" can be displayed next to "business office name" as shown in FIG. Next, the folding method will be described.
The folding method is to display distant items on one screen. As described above with reference to FIG. 25 in the item moving method, the display part 1 is displayed in the list displayed on the screen.
There is an undisplayed portion 2 indicated by a broken line, and the "person in charge" is displayed next to the "business office name" and is viewed. In this case, similarly, the layout of the entire list shown in FIG. 25 is first grasped. Next, as shown by the thick frame 5 in FIG. 33, the start position of the folding, that is, the start position of the item not to be displayed is designated by a predetermined key operation. Next, scrolling is performed to display the end position of the folding, that is, the end position of the item not to be displayed on the screen. FIG. 34 shows a screen state in which one item has been scrolled rightward from the state of FIG. When an end position of an item not to be displayed is designated as shown by a thick line frame 6 in FIG. 35, this operation deletes the item between the start position 5 and the end position 6 from the screen. As a result, FIG. As described above, the "person in charge" can be displayed next to the "business office name". Next, the screen division method will be described. The screen division method is to display separated items on one screen by dividing the screen. As described above with reference to FIG. 25 in the item moving method, the display part 1 is displayed in the list displayed on the screen,
There is an undisplayed portion 2 indicated by a broken line, and the "person in charge" is displayed next to the "business office name" and is viewed. In this case, similarly, the layout of the entire list shown in FIG. 25 is first grasped. Next, a key operation for dividing the screen is performed. As shown in FIG. 36, when the "person in charge" indicated by the arrow 7 is divided at the left position of the "business office name" to be arranged side by side, the leftmost item of the same list is displayed on the divided right screen. Is done. Next, scrolling is performed until a desired item is displayed on the right screen. When the right screen is scrolled rightward from the state of FIG. 36 by one item, the state shown in FIG. 37 is obtained, and when the two screens are scrolled, the state shown in FIG. Then, by scrolling four items, the "person in charge" can be displayed next to the "office name" as shown in FIG. In the item moving method described above, if an item to be moved exists in a non-displayed portion, scrolling must be performed until the item is displayed. In addition, after performing an operation for performing a predetermined movement on the item, scrolling must be performed again until the movement destination is displayed on the screen, so that there is a problem that the operation is troublesome. In the folding method, it is necessary to specify items at both ends of a portion not to be displayed, which requires a scroll operation.
There is a problem that operation is troublesome. In addition, there is a problem that items cannot be replaced. Also in the screen division method, since the screen must be divided and scrolled until a desired item appears on one screen, the operation is troublesome. The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and provides a list screen display device capable of freely switching desired items and displaying a screen without performing a scroll operation.
