Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a screen layout for accumulating and reading information according to a processing pattern and according to an operator's instruction,
The present invention relates to a processing configuration method for processing an operation procedure, a required function, and the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of processing configuration method, the realized function is first extracted and the processing is designed in a top-down manner according to the function, so that the program related to screen display used for dialogue with the operator is executed. It was positioned as a part of the processing to be performed, and thus was incorporated into the program of the processing to be executed.

FIG. 2 is a basic state transition diagram of conventional information processing, and shows a basic processing flow in an apparatus that executes processing while talking with an operator using a screen, such as a workstation or a personal computer. It is organized as various state transitions. In these devices,
A prompt or a menu corresponding thereto is displayed line by line or screen by screen (step S1), and the operator inputs a command (S2). The device judges whether the input command is correct or incorrect (S3), displays an error when it is abnormal (S4), and actually processes it when normal (S5). Then, the processing result is judged by the end of the actual processing (S6), the result is displayed when it is normal (S7), the error is displayed when it is abnormal (S4), and the prompt is output again (S1). , Move to the next command prompt.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above method, even if the operator tries to change the screen layout or operation procedure of a processing program that has already been completed, only the changed part of the screen or the like is taken out. Was difficult, and most of the processing programs had to be rewritten. Also,
Since the extraction of the function or the process depends on the individual designer's knowledge and the program design ability, there is a problem that the quality of the product pattern of the process design varies.

The present invention is to present a pre-configured processing module relating to screen processing and actual processing by using a screen so that a processing having a necessary function can be arbitrarily configured, and at the same time reduce variation in product quality and perform processing. The purpose is to improve the frequency of module reuse.

(Means for Solving Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a display unit capable of displaying characters and figures, an input unit for inputting information such as characters by an operator, and an operation for each operation. In an information processing method for processing information having a control unit for executing and controlling and a storage unit for storing information, display information including an input instruction for an operator is displayed on the display unit, and the display information is followed. The screen processing for operating each screen according to the operator's designation and the actual processing for processing information are divided from each other, and the screen processing content for each screen and the actual processing content for each information processing unit are respectively described above. A label name for input instruction is added and stored in the storage unit in advance, and a combination of screen processing and actual processing by the label name designated by the operator is designated and the next from the actual processing. A process execution management table that manages the execution of information processing based on the designation of the transition to the screen process, and the information processing is configured by the screen process selected by each of the commands, the actual process, and the process execution management table. I did it.

(Operation) According to the present invention, when the operator designates each screen process and the actual process by the label name according to the input instruction on the display unit, the process execution management table is created based on the designation, and each screen process is executed. Information processing is configured by the actual processing and the processing execution management table.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a basic processing configuration pattern of information processing according to the present invention, in which a separate process is conventionally performed as a prompt output and a result display (step S).
8) Collectively, the result of the screen display indicates the transition from the prompt output screen by the screen display to the next prompt output screen, and one screen display for one command (S9). (S8) and actual processing (S1
It corresponds to 0) and is configured as a sequential basic processing unit.

This is because the interface for passing a command from the screen processing unit to the actual processing unit is integrally defined, so that the screen display (S8) and the user input in FIG. 1 can be performed as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Waiting (S9) is screen processing (S11), and this is screen instruction processing (S12) that displays input instruction information, screen display processing (S13) that creates and displays display information, and value input processing (S14). It is also possible to separately configure the input value check processing and the input value check processing.

Hereinafter, it is assumed that the actual processing is executed according to the processing pattern shown in FIG. 3, and a phonebook program that displays a phonebook on the screen and automatically dials using this phonebook is used as an example. Explained.

The screen instruction process (S12) in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the display of item numbers [01] to [40] stored as a fixed table inside the program, guidance such as "Select the appropriate number. []",
This is a process of displaying function keys such as “register”, “telephone”, and “end”. The screen display process (S13) requires a process such as file search unlike the simple screen data display such as the screen instruction process. In the phone book program, the name and phone number are stored. The file is searched and displayed at a predetermined position as shown in FIG. This also includes a process of retrieving a scheduled time from a file, converting it into a bar graph or the like and displaying it on the screen when displaying a schedule or the like. In this way, the operator inputs data to necessary items according to the information displayed on the screen. That is, the value input process (S14) is a process of inputting the item number of the other party who is going to perform automatic dialing, or the name and telephone number to be newly registered in the telephone directory.

Next, in FIG. 5, if the function key "telephone" for automatic dialing is pressed, first, in the value check process (S15), the item number input area [0
Search 1] to [40], and check if the entered item number is correct, or if it is within the specified range. If the value is incorrect (S16), the process returns to the value input process and waits for the input of a correct value. The process up to this point is the part where functions are realized using the display screen, and is called screen processing (S11). If the value is normal, for example, an item number or the like is passed together with the command "call origination" and the "call origination" actual processing for executing the call origination processing is called (S16). In the next actual processing (S17), a series of processing for automatic dialing of the telephone such as call collision detection and dial code transmission is performed, and the next screen display is shown regardless of whether the call processing is normal or abnormal. The process moves to the next screen instruction process according to the table. Then, when an abnormality occurs in this actual processing (S17) (S18), the abnormality processing (S19) is performed as post-processing.

FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of a process execution management table for managing the execution of information processing in association with the telephone directory display screen. In the figure, a telephone directory screen instruction data address A1 indicates a memory address containing screen instruction actual data D1 for displaying fixed data of the telephone directory screen shown in FIG.
The telephone book screen display data address A2 indicates the screen display file such as the file name, record size, read position, etc. of the file in which each data in FIG. 5 is stored and the memory address containing the data D2. is there. The telephone book input area data address A3 indicates a memory address in which a value input area data D3 such as a location on the screen for the operator to input data and a size is stored. The telephone book value check data address A4 indicates the memory address in which the value check data D4 for checking whether the value of the data input by the operator is appropriate. That is, when the number of input items is up to 40, the value exceeding 40 is set to be invalid, which is set for each input area. The actual process call instruction data D6, the actual process interface address A5, and the next screen instruction data D7 are provided, for example, in correspondence with the function keys. With "function key 1", the actual process call of "telephone call" and the delivery data (D5 ), Specify the memory address in, and process (S1
7) Which screen process (S11) to transition to after completion is registered. At this time, if the screen instruction process (S12) and the screen display process (S13) are not changed, the process proceeds to the value input process (S14) without any particular process according to the instruction of the table, and the new item number is input. You may wait. When the menu screen of the telephone directory is displayed, processing such as file closing is performed, the present processing is terminated, and the screen transitions to the screen for realizing the next function.

Although the process execution management table is provided corresponding to each screen here, the present invention is not limited to this, and the process execution management table may be provided corresponding to the actual process. Good. Further, the actual data may be directly written in the processing execution management table itself.

As described above, the processing for realizing the function of the telephone directory can be configured by using the processing pattern of the present invention.
That is, a processing module instructed by each “function key” in FIG. 6 is individually created for each of the screen instruction processing, screen creation processing, value input processing, value check processing, and actual processing shown in FIG. It is possible to configure processing by combining them arbitrarily. The present invention is not limited to the telephone directory, and can be similarly applied to the case of realizing other functions.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of a processing configuration procedure of the present invention, in which a processing module is arbitrarily configured and a label name or screen for creating a processing program having a screen layout and an operation procedure according to an operator's instruction. This is an example of a procedure for displaying a transition flow to the screen on the screen and selecting a process by interacting with the screen.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a circuit of the storage information processing apparatus of the present invention, 1 is a display unit for displaying characters, figures, etc., 2 is an input unit for inputting information such as characters by an operator, and 3 is a unit for executing calculation and The control unit 4 for controlling is a storage unit for storing information as needed.

The screen processing and actual processing that have already been configured or a processing pattern that combines these are given a label name for each screen processing and actual processing, and are stored as each data D1, D2 ... Of the processing execution table in FIG. First, the label names of the files which are stored as files in the section 4 and which have been configured as the screen processing (S11) and actual processing (S7) modules are first presented using the display screen of the display unit 1 according to the pattern shown in FIG. To do. This may be presented for each individual process such as "phone book menu screen instruction process" or "phone book menu screen display process", or "phone book process""e-mailprocess""schedule registration process" As described above, it may be presented for each process that realizes a large function.

 Hereinafter, the latter case will be described as an example.

(Presentation of the configured function (S20)) First, when the configured function is displayed on the screen, the operator selects the function to be realized or a similar pattern closest thereto. For example, in order to realize a telephone book function such as an automatic call from a telephone book, "phone book processing" is selected.

(Selection of Similar Pattern of the Function (S21)) Next, the state transition of the selectable screen in the selected similar pattern is presented. As shown in FIG. 9, this changes from the phonebook menu screen (S26) to the personal phonebook screen (S27) or the organization phonebook menu screen (S28), and the organization order is further changed from the organization phonebook menu screen (S28). Display screen (S2
9), the state of shifting to the Japanese syllabary order display screen (S30) is displayed on the screen.

(Presentation of screen state transition (S22)) The operator performs necessary screen transition reconfiguration and selection of an actual process to be used by interacting with the screen in order to realize the function. That is, a personal phonebook screen as shown in FIG. 10 is displayed,
Increase or decrease the number of items shown in [01] to [40], provide an address column, and change the title of "phone book" to "personal phone book".
Change the screen layout such as changing to. At this time, when actually using it as a processing program, the designation of the area where the operator can input is
For example, a specific input code such as the “#” key is assigned in advance so that it can be distinguished from other codes. Further, in the figure, "process 1" is a registration process and "process 2" is
The task of assigning telephone call processing is performed. Here, “new processing” means addition of a new screen, but as for adding a Japanese syllabary display screen to the personal phonebook, the organization phonebook menu screen display (S2
Since 8) has a display screen display in Japanese syllabary order (S30), this is diverted. After the personal phonebook screen display (S27), the screen returns to the phonebook menu screen display (S26). However, the transition between screens is changed so that the screen is terminated without returning.

(Reconfiguration of screen state transition (S23), selection of usage process (S24)) This work is repeated until the required function is satisfied, and the process execution management table of FIG. 6 is created along with this.

(Design of undecided processing (S25)) For functions that cannot be realized by the already-configured functions, they are newly designed and manufactured according to the processing pattern of FIG. 3, and registered as already-configured functions.

After the above work is completed, the modules that make up the screen processing and actual processing are determined, and the data is converted into a source file and compiled according to the normal program creation procedure along with the processing execution management table, and then linked. And create an executable load module or processing program.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the process for realizing each designated function is divided into a screen process and an actual process, and these process names are presented using the screen. Since the operator realizes the function by combining these process names, the operator can appropriately create the screen layout and the operation procedure. The frequency of reuse can be improved by sharing the individual screen processing and the actual processing to realize the similar function. Further, since the quality of each screen processing and the actual processing is defined and accumulated, and the function is realized by the combination thereof, the variation in the quality of the product is reduced.
