[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a scroll arrival display control system that displays whether or not there is room for scrolling.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a display terminal which has a superposition type multi-window function and has a function of resizing and scrolling a window displayed on the display. As shown in FIG. 6, it has a window selection area and a character input area as display contents, and has a window in which the program receives various information while interacting with an operator. This window is called the option sheet.

As shown in FIG. 6, the option sheet is provided with fixed sections and scroll sections.
The fixed section has an upper fixed section provided in the upper part of the window and a lower fixed section provided in the lower part, so that the display contents can always be displayed without being affected by the size change of the option sheet or the scroll window operation. It is a possible section. The scroll section is affected by the window operation, and this section expands and contracts as shown in FIG. 7 for the size change operation, and the display in this section can be scrolled vertically and horizontally for the scroll request operation. It is a possible section.

Conventionally, when an operator makes a scroll request for an option sheet that satisfies the above-mentioned conditions and tries to see the display contents at the top or bottom of the scroll section, the operator determines whether the scroll has reached the top or bottom. There is a problem in that it is possible to know without making a scroll request many times and confirming that the scroll is no longer performed.

It is an object of the present invention to display, when scrolling has arrived in any direction, whether or not there is room for scrolling by changing the display mode of the fixed section in the direction in which it has arrived.

[Means for solving problems]

 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the principle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the section determination unit 1 is an upper section determination unit 1-
1 and the lower section determination unit 1-2, which determines whether or not the scroll has reached the direction of the fixed section.

The upper partition determination unit 1-1 determines whether or not the content displayed in the scroll partition has been scrolled to reach the upper fixed partition.

The lower section determination unit 1-2 determines whether or not the content displayed in the scroll section has been scrolled to reach the lower fixed section.

The display changing unit 2 changes the display of the corresponding upper fixed section or lower fixed section based on the judgment result notified from the section judging section 1 (the boundary between the scroll section and the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section). The line is changed from a dotted line to a solid line).

[Action]

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention, when scrolling the contents displayed in the scroll section constituting the option sheet in response to the scroll instruction inputted by the operator, determines the upper section which constitutes the section determining unit 1. If either the section 1-1 or the lower section determination section 1-2 determines that the scroll has arrived in the direction of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section, the display of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section in the direction of the end The form is changed (for example, the display form of the boundary line between the scroll section and the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section is changed from a dotted line to a solid line).

Therefore, the operator can tell at a glance whether the scroll has reached the direction of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section, for example, whether the boundary line between the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section is a solid line or a dotted line. It becomes possible to know easily by looking.

〔Example〕

Next, the configuration and operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be sequentially described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 2 shows a hardware configuration example. The main body device 11 is related to the present invention. Bitmap display
12 indicates the option sheet, keyboard 13−
1 and the mouse 13-2 are used to instruct scrolling, the external storage device 14-1 and the floppy disk drive 14-2 are used to store data, and the printer 14-3 is used to print data.

 FIG. 3 shows a software configuration example.

In FIG. 3, the application process 21 is
For example, it is application software for printing, and requests the option sheet control unit 22 to display a window of the option sheet and to perform dialogue (in the figure).

The option seat control unit 22 performs the processing of the section determining unit 1 and the display changing unit 2 shown in FIG. 1, and determines whether or not the display content in the scroll section has reached the direction of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section. When it is detected that it has arrived, the display of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section which has arrived is displayed to the output control unit 23-1 from mode 1 (the boundary line is a dotted line) to mode 2 (the boundary line is a solid line). ) Request to change to.

The window input / output control unit 23 is composed of an output control unit 23-1 and an input control unit 23-2, and controls input / output between the bitmap display 12, the keyboard 13-1, and the mouse 13-2. is there.

Next, the operation of the configuration of FIG. 3 according to the configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

In FIG. 4, the figure shows that an operator has performed a size change or scroll operation on the option sheet. This is because, as shown in FIG. 3, the operator inputs a size change or scroll instruction to the input / output control unit 23-2 from the keyboard 13-1 or mouse 13-2 shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the option sheet control unit 22 is notified.

In the figure, it is shown whether or not the upper fixed section is attached. This means, for example, determining whether or not the option sheet (1) shown in the state (A-1) of FIG. 5 has the upper fixed section (A-1). In the case of YES (when it is in the upper fixed section), it is determined whether or not there is room for scrolling in the figure, and if there is no room, that effect is displayed.

In the figure, it is determined whether or not there is no room for scrolling up. In the case of YES (when there is no room to scroll up), the shape 1 of the upper fixed section (for example, the boundary line is a dotted line) is changed to the shape 2 in the figure.
(For example, the boundary line is a solid line), and the procedure in the figure is executed.
In the case of NO (when there is room to scroll up),
Execute in the figure.

In the figure, there is no room for scrolling up, but it is determined whether or not scrolling is possible. If YES (if scrolling is enabled)
In the figure, the shape 2 (for example, the boundary line is a solid line) of the upper fixed section is changed to a shape 1 (for example, the boundary line is a dotted line) in the figure, and the procedure in the figure is executed. If NO, execute in the figure.

 The same applies to the case where the lower fixed section is attached.

In the figure, it is shown whether or not the lower fixed section is attached. This represents, for example, determining whether the option sheet shown in the state (A) of FIG. 5 has the lower fixed section (A-3). In the case of YES (when the lower fixed section is attached), it is determined whether or not there is room for scrolling in the figure, and if there is no room, that effect is displayed.

In the figure, it is determined whether or not there is no room for scrolling down. In the case of YES (when there is no room to scroll down), the shape 1 of the lower fixed section (for example, the boundary line is a dotted line) is changed to the shape 2 in the figure.
(For example, the boundary line is a solid line), and the procedure in the figure is executed.
If NO (if there is room to scroll down),
Execute in the figure.

In the figure, there is no room to scroll down, but it is determined whether or not scrolling is possible. If YES (if scrolling is enabled)
In the figure, the shape 2 (for example, the boundary line is a solid line) of the lower fixed section is changed to the shape 1 (for example, the boundary line is a dotted line) in the figure, and the process ends. If NO, end.

By the above processing, when the scroll reaches the top or bottom of the option sheet, the shape 1 (the boundary line is a dotted line) of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section is changed to the shape 2 (for example, a solid line of the boundary line). As a result, the operator can easily know the current scroll state by looking at the shapes 1 and 2.

Next, a display example according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, state (A) is for the state where the scroll has reached the top, state (B) is for the state where the scroll has not reached both the top and bottom, and state (C) is the state where the scroll has reached the bottom. Show things.

State (A): In this state (A), this option sheet (1) has reached the top because the content displayed on the scroll screen (A-2) has reached the upper fixed section (A). The horizontal line (A-1-1) of -1) is a solid line. The horizontal line (A-3-1) of the lower fixed section (A-3)
Is a dotted line because it has not reached the bottom. In this way, when the scroll reaches the upper side, by changing the horizontal line (boundary line) (A-1-1) of the upper fixed section in the direction in which the scroll has reached from the dotted line to the solid line as shown in the drawing, The operator can easily know that the scroll has reached the top.

State (B): In the state (B) generated by performing a downward scroll operation on the state (A), the content displayed on the scroll screen (B-2) is displayed on both the upper side and the lower side. The upper fixed section (B
The horizontal line (B-1-1) of -1) is a dotted line, and the horizontal line (B-3-1) of the lower fixed section (B-3) is a dotted line.
Since the horizontal line (B-1-1) and the horizontal line (B-3-1) are dotted lines, the operator can easily know that the scroll has not reached the upper and lower sides.

State (C): The lower scroll operation is further performed on the state (B) to reach the bottom. In the state (C), the content displayed on the scroll screen (C-2) reaches the bottom. Since it is in a state, lower fixed section (C-3)
The horizontal line (C-3-1) is a solid line. The horizontal line (C-1-1) of the upper fixed section (C-1) is a dotted line because it has not reached the upper side. In this way, when the scroll reaches the bottom, the horizontal line (boundary line) (C-3-
By changing 1) from the dotted line to the solid line and displaying it as shown in the figure, the operator can easily know that the scroll has reached the bottom.

By the above processing, the operator can know the arrival state of the scroll at a glance by looking at the horizontal lines (A-1-1) and (A-3-1) displayed in the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section. .

In the present embodiment, whether or not there is room for scrolling is displayed by displaying the boundary line between the scroll section and the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section using solid lines and dotted lines. The display color is not limited to this, and the display (shape and color) other than the boundary line may be changed.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, whether or not the scroll has reached the direction of the upper fixed section or the lower fixed section is determined by, for example, the boundary line between the upper fixed section and the lower fixed section. Since it is configured to display as a solid line or a dotted line, the operator can see in a scrolling direction whether or not the display of the fixed section is, for example, a solid line or a dotted line in the scrolling direction. You can easily know if there is room.
