Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a screen editing device for an online system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional online system display,
Intelligent information management system (TIS) for vehicles,
Mitsubishi Electric Technical Report, Vol.65, No.6, 1991, p.34
~ 39 (reference 1), the layout of the display screen was designed in advance, and the operation record of the online system was recorded in a separately prepared recorder. Therefore, when changing the layout of the display screen, the program for the display screen layout designed in advance was modified. Further, in order to display the data recorded in the recorder, a recorder display device prepared separately from the online system display is used.

[0003]

When it is desired to change the layout such as the method of displaying the graphic of the displayed item or the scale of the display on the display screen of the online system display, it is necessary to modify the display program designed in advance. I had to add. Therefore, there is a problem that the user cannot edit the layout while looking at the displayed screen.

Further, none of the online system displays have a display function added to a recorder for accumulating online data used for display. Therefore, even if the online data is stored, a separately prepared recorder display device is required to reproduce the data, and there is a problem that it is difficult to deal with the occurrence of an abnormality.

The present invention has been made with the object of overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art as described above.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] To achieve the above object, a user edits a layout such as a method of displaying a graphic of a displayed item or a display scale while looking at a display screen of an online system display. Need to be able to.

Therefore, in the present invention, an input data file, an input format data file, a display item data file, and a display style reference data file are prepared for the online system display. The input data file is a file that stores data used for display on the online system display. The input format data file is a file in which the location, format, etc. of the items that can be displayed on the CRT of the computer are stored in the input data file. The display item data file is a file that stores the name of the item to be displayed, the display style, and the item name in the input format data corresponding to the item to be displayed. The display style reference data file is a file that stores the necessary items for each display style and their default values in order to graphically display a certain display item on the CRT of the computer.

Further, an input function by which the user can set a method of graphically displaying items to be displayed and a display function based on the input function are provided.

Further, in order to display the accumulated online data on the spot, the time to start the redisplay of the contents displayed on the CRT of the computer, the time to finish the display, and the time ratio for adjusting the online data and the time in the computer. It has time management data with data such as, and data input and read functions.

[0010]

According to the above means, the user can edit the layout such as the method of graphic display of the displayed items and the scale of the display while observing the display screen of the online system display.

Thus, the user can easily edit the screen that meets his needs while looking at the display screen.

Further, by using the above means, it is possible to redisplay on the spot by designating the time of the redisplay portion of the accumulated data.

With this, it is possible to easily deal with the contents displayed on the online system display device in more detail, to change the display method or the display scale, and in the event of an abnormality.

Display on the CRT of the second computer.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the screen editing apparatus for the online system display according to the present invention.

In step 201, using this apparatus, the online data to be displayed on the CRT of the computer is rearranged in accordance with the preset file format of the input data file used in this system to create the input data.

In step 202, using this apparatus, the name of an item which can be graphically displayed on the CRT of the computer and the input for storing the location and format in the input data file in order to read the data related to this item from the input data file. Performs input editing processing of format data.

In step 203, using this apparatus, display item data for storing the name of the item to be displayed graphically on the CRT of the computer, the display style, and the item name in the input format data corresponding to the item to be displayed, When a graphic display is made on a CRT of a computer, an input edit process of display format reference data in which items to be set and default values thereof are stored for each display format is performed.

In step 204, the present apparatus is used to perform a search process for graphic data and data for graphic display, which are necessary for displaying online data on the CRT of the computer.

In step 205, the graphic data obtained in step 204 and the data for graphic display on the CRT of the computer are used to perform processing for drawing on the CRT of the computer.

In step 206, it is judged whether or not the contents displayed on the CRT of the computer in step 205 are to be partially displayed again. If it is to be re-displayed, the process proceeds to step 207. If it is not to be re-displayed, the process proceeds to step 208.

In step 207, it is used to set the range for redisplaying the contents graphically displayed on the CRT of the computer, and the display condition data for storing the display start time, the end time, etc. is created and edited. To do. The user sets the display start time and the end time to set the redisplay range. After performing the edit processing of this data, the processing from step 203 is repeated.

In step 208, these processes are finished.
