Integrated menu dynamic provision method and integrated menu dynamic provision system

The present invention relates to UI providing technology, and more particularly, to improving user convenience through dynamic provision of an integrated menu.

As the number of functions provided by the program increases, there is a limit to arranging menus of all functions one-dimensionally on the screen. In the case of a complex program, the user must learn through the manual what function menus exist and where they are displayed on the screen, but in reality, it is difficult for the user to learn the manuals of all programs.

As it is not possible to put all the functions provided by the program in one screen, the UI is provided by separating the menus into categories and putting the functions that can be performed on the page corresponding to each menu so that the user can easily find it. have.

For example, in a program such as Electronic Medical Record (EMR) used in hospital terminals, click 'Reservation' among the menus 'Reservation', 'Reception', and 'Management' displayed on the screen, then click 'Reservation List', When the reserved patients are displayed in the form of a list, select 'Patient Name 2' of a specific patient and click 'Accept' through the context menu to receive the patient's reservation.

In addition, when you click 'Manage' in the program, click 'Issue Receipt', click 'Patient Search' and select 'Patient Name 2' from the list of patients searched for, a specific 'Visit After selecting 'Day', click 'Issue Receipt' to issue a receipt for medical expenses on a specific date and time for the patient.

However, even in this case, there are many users who feel inconvenience when using the program because the function the user wants to execute is in an inconspicuous place on the screen or it is difficult to know which category it belongs to.

Accordingly, there is a need for a technology for supporting a user to easily find and execute a menu of a desired function within a program.

An embodiment of the present invention dynamically configures an integrated menu with functions within a program that can be executed at the present time, and enables the user to visualize and use the integrated menu on the screen at any time during the execution of the program, so that the function desired by the user can be displayed in the integrated menu. The purpose is to make it easy to find and implement through

In an embodiment of the present invention, when a specific key input (eg, 'Ctrl key double click') for operating the integrated menu is generated, based on the first function in the program being executed on the screen of the terminal at the present time, the first function By selecting the second function in the program that can be executed in connection with and visualizing the integrated menu including the selected second function on the screen, the user can easily execute the function desired by the user in the program through the integrated menu. The purpose is to provide convenience.

A method for dynamically providing an integrated menu according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of executing a first function in a program through a screen of a terminal, and when a key input for operation of an integrated menu is generated by the terminal, the program provides it It may include selecting a second function that can be executed in connection with the first function from among all the functions to be used, and including the selected second function in an integrated menu for visualizing on the screen.

2 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration of an integrated menu dynamic providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 according to the present invention may include an execution unit 110 , a processing unit 120 , and a display unit 130 . According to an embodiment, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 may further include a database 140 .

The integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 may be implemented inside or outside the terminal 100 in which the program is executed, but in the present specification, for convenience of explanation, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 of the present invention is the terminal ( 100) will be described by limiting what is included and implemented in the program executed.

The execution unit 110 serves to execute the first function in the program through the screen of the terminal 150 .

Here, the program may be exemplified as 'medical medical record (EMR)' executed in a hospital terminal. In this case, the program may include functions such as 'view medical record', 'receipt issuance', 'reservation calendar', 'new reservation', 'receipt list', 'storage list', and 'patient reception'.

Each function may be classified into at least one category of 'reservation', 'reception', and 'management', and on one side of the screen of the program, select any one category among 'reservation', 'reception', and 'management' A menu list may be displayed.

For example, referring to FIG. 2 , when the first function 'reservation list' belonging to the category 'reservation' 201 is selected by the terminal 150, the execution unit 110 executes the selected function, and the terminal ( 150), the execution screen 210 of the 'reservation list' may be output.

When a key input for operation of the integrated menu is generated by the terminal 150, the processing unit 120 is based on the first function currently being executed in the terminal 150 among all functions provided in the program, It serves to select an executable second function in connection with the first function.

The key input may be predetermined as at least one of a touch input on a touch screen provided by the terminal 150, a key input of a hardware key, and a key input of a software key.

For example, the key input may be determined as a touch input of double-clicking on the 'top right' of a specific area of the touch screen, or may be determined as a key input of a specific hardware key in which the 'Ctrl key' and 'Shift key' are combined. Alternatively, it may be assigned as a software key to double-click the 'Ctrl key'.

According to an embodiment, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 may further include a database 140 .

For each of the entire functions provided in the program, the database 140 includes a category to which the function belongs (Cartegory), a target category that can visualize the integrated menu when the function is included in the integrated menu (Target_Cartegory), and execution of the corresponding function It plays a role in maintaining data for each function in which at least one of a state condition that must be satisfied for this purpose, whether a target object is selected when executing a corresponding function, and a label for the corresponding function.

Here, when the program is an electronic medical record (EMR) used in a hospital or clinic, the target object is a specific patient (eg, 'patient name 2') selected on the screen, or a medical record of a specific date and time selected on the screen (eg, 'Patient Name 2's medical record dated March 01, 2020').

The processing unit 120 may search the database 140 for a function designated as a category to which the first function belongs or an entire category to which the target category belongs, and may exclude functions that do not satisfy the state condition from among the searched functions. have.

In addition, the processing unit 120 may select, as the second function, a function that can be executed without selecting the target object, or a function of selecting the target object, such as the first function, from among the functions satisfying the state condition. .

For example, referring to FIG. 5 , the databases 140 and 500 include a category "reservation" to which the reservation list function belongs, a label "reservation list" of the reservation list function, and a target category that can visualize an integrated menu including a reservation list function The reservation list function data 510 may be maintained by designating "all", a target object "all" required for executing the reservation list function, and a state condition "none" to be satisfied when the reservation list function is executed.

In addition, referring to FIG. 5 , the databases 140 and 500 include the category “reservation” to which the reservation reception function belongs, the label “reception” of the reservation reception function, and the target category “reservation” that can visualize an integrated menu including the reservation reception function , the target object "patient" required for the execution of the reservation reception function, and the state condition that must be satisfied when the reservation reception function is executed Data 520 may be maintained.

In addition, referring to FIG. 5 , the databases 140 and 500 include the category "management" to which the receipt issuance function belongs, the label "receipt issuance" of the receipt issuance function, and the target category "all of which can visualize the integrated menu including the receipt issuance function" ", the target object "patient & medical record" required for executing the receipt issuance function, and the state condition "None" that must be satisfied when the receipt issuance function is executed may be specified to maintain the receipt issuance function data 530 .

For example, when the key input occurs on the screen of the terminal 150 executing the reservation list function, the processing unit 120 checks the category 'reservation' to which the reservation list function belongs in the databases 140 and 500, and then selects the category ' The reservation reception function 520 in which 'reservation' is designated as the target category and the receipt issuance function 530 in which the target category is designated as "all" may be searched from the databases 140 and 500 .

At this time, the processing unit 120 checks the respective state conditions of the searched reservation reception function 520 and the receipt issuance function 530 in the databases 140 and 500. As a result, the receipt issuance function 530 for which a state condition is not specified. It is determined that the state condition is satisfied, and it is determined that the state condition of the reservation reception function 520 is also satisfied on the screen of the terminal 150 at the time when the reservation list function is being executed. can

In addition, the processing unit 120 checks the target object of each of the reservation reception function 520 and the receipt issuance function 530 that satisfy the state condition in the databases 140 and 500, and as a result, as a target object of the receipt issuance function 530 ' The patient's specific date and time medical record is required, and a 'specific patient' is required as a target object of the reservation reception function 520, but a specific target object is not selected in the current reservation list function executed in the terminal 150. Therefore, since it is impossible to directly execute the reservation reception function 520 or the receipt issuance function 530 in connection with the reservation list function, it may be excluded from the second function included in the integrated menu.

On the other hand, the processing unit 120 has the category 'reservation' to which the condition 1) reservation list function belongs as the target category, and condition 2) the condition 3-1) reservation among the functions in which the status condition is not specified or the status condition is satisfied. As with the list function, functions that can be executed without selecting a target object, for example, a reservation calendar function, a new reservation function, a reception list function, a reception list function, a patient reception function, etc., are integrated to visualize on the screen of the reservation list function. It can be selected as a second function that can be included in the menu. The second function selected here may be included in the integrated menu 230 as the full function list 231 in FIG. 2 .

If the key input occurs while a specific patient is selected as the target object on the screen of the reservation list function, the processing unit 120 has the category 'reservation' to which the condition 1) reservation list function belongs as the target category, Condition 2) Among the functions in which the status condition is not specified or the status condition is satisfied, condition 3-2) A function required by a specific patient as a target object, such as a reservation list function, for example, reservation reception function 520, reservation modification Function, cancellation processing function, absence processing function, medical record viewing function, receipt issuance function, text sending function, etc. can be selected as a second function that can be included in the integrated menu to be visualized on the screen of the reservation list function . The second function selected here may be included in the integrated menu 330 as a function list 332 of a specific patient (patient name 2) in FIG. 3 .

The display unit 130 serves to include the selected second function in an integrated menu that is visualized on the screen.

That is, the display unit 130 may dynamically configure the integrated menu including the second function selected according to the occurrence of the key input, and visualize the configured integrated menu on the screen of the terminal 150 .

In other words, the display unit 130 visualizes the integrated menu so that the second function selected based on the first function being executed through the screen of the terminal 150 is included when the key input occurs, and the screen of the terminal 150 is displayed. When a function being executed through is switched, the integrated menu may be modified and visualized to include a function reselected based on the switched function.

For example, the display unit 130 may display a predetermined key input as at least one of a touch input on a touch screen provided by the terminal 150, a key input of a hardware key, and a key input of a software key when the key input is generated on the screen. , the integrated menu can be visualized by overlapping it on the screen.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5 , in the case where the program is a 'medical medical record (EMR)' executed in a hospital terminal, it is included in the integrated menu among various functions provided in the 'EMR' A process of selecting a second function to be performed based on the first function will be described in detail.

For example, the processing unit 120 searches the database 140 for a function that can be executed without selecting the target object, and among the searched functions, a function to which the state condition is not specified is 1 as the second function. You can choose tea. The display unit 130 may include the firstly selected second function as an entire function list in the integrated menu.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an integrated menu visualized when a target object is not selected in the integrated menu dynamic providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the processing unit 120 performs a specific key for operating the integrated menu 230 while the 'reservation list function' belonging to the 'reservation' category 201 is executed on the screen 210 of the terminal 150. When an input (double input of 'Ctrl key') occurs, functions that can be executed without selecting a target object (specific patient) such as 'reservation list function' are searched from the database 140, and among the searched functions, the state condition This unspecified function can be primarily selected as the second function.

That is, the processing unit 120 can preferentially and quickly select a function that can be executed at any time without a target object or state condition, similarly to the 'reservation list function' that is already being executed, and the display unit 130 displays the execution screen 220 of the reservation function list. ), the first selected second function 231 may be included as a 'all function list' in the integrated menu 230 visualized on the .

As another example, if the program executed on the terminal 150 is 'medical medical record (EMR)', the processing unit 120 may generate the key input while the patient or medical record is selected as the target object in the screen. In this case, the function of selecting the patient or medical record as the target object is retrieved from the database 140, and among the searched functions, the function in which the state condition is not specified or the condition condition is satisfied, Secondary selection can be performed as a second function.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an integrated menu visualized when a target object is selected in the integrated menu dynamic providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the processing unit 120 selects a target object (a specific patient) 302 from the screen 310 of the terminal 150 on which the 'reservation list function' belonging to the 'reservation' category 301 is executed. When a specific key input (double input of 'Ctrl key') for operation of the integrated menu 330 occurs later, a function that can be executed only when a target object such as the selected target object (specific patient) 302 is selected is stored in the database 140 , and a function in which the state condition is not specified or in which the state condition is satisfied among the searched functions may be secondarily selected as the second function.

That is, the processing unit 120 may select (inherit) the same target object 302 as the previously executed 'reservation list function' and select an executable function, and the display unit 130 displays the second function ( 332) as the 'function list of the screens 310 and 320', positioned above the 'full function list' of the firstly selected second function 331, so as to be distinguished from the entire function list, the integrated menu 330 ) can be included.

As such, the display unit 130 may distinguish the positions where the first and second selected second functions 331 and 332 are included in the integrated menu 330 , and according to an embodiment, the first and second selected second functions It is also possible to distinguish the time points at which 331 and 332 are included in the integrated menu 330 .

For example, the display unit 130 includes the second function 331 that is quickly selected because it can be executed regardless of the target object or state condition, first included in the integrated menu 330 visualized on the execution screen 320 and displayed. During the process, the second function 332 that can be executed by selecting (inherited) the same target object 302 as the previously executed 'reservation list function' is secondarily selected by the processing unit 120, and later in the integrated menu 330 By including and displaying, the user may recognize whether the 'all function list' or the 'function list of the screens 310 and 320' is displayed according to the time displayed in the integrated menu 330 .

As such, the display unit 130 configures the integrated menu 330 by dualizing the entire function list that can be executed at any time without the target object and the function list centered on the selected target object, thereby supporting the user to use the integrated menu 330 according to the situation. have.

In addition, whenever the screens 310 and 320 are switched according to the functions executed in the terminal 150 , the display unit 130 modifies only the target object-centered function list 332 while maintaining the entire function list 331 . Therefore, it is possible to quickly provide an integrated menu with functions that can be executed on the corresponding screen even when the screen is changed.

According to an embodiment, the display unit 130 checks the target category specified for the second function from the database 140, determines whether the target category specified for the second function includes a category to which the first function belongs, If not included, the second function may not be included in the integrated menu.

That is, only when the target category of the second function includes the category of the first function that is being executed, the display unit 130 may include the second function in the integrated menu that is visualized on the execution screen of the first function. have.

For example, when the target category of the second function is designated as “all”, the category to which the first function belongs ('reservation') is also included in the target category (“all”) of the second function, so that the display unit 130 displays the The second function may be included in the integrated menu.

However, when the target category of the second function is designated as "management, reception", the category to which the first function belongs ('reservation') is not included in the target category, so the display unit 130 includes the second function in the integrated menu. won't make it

In addition, according to an embodiment, the display unit 130 divides the selected second function into categories ('reservation', 'receipt', 'management') so that the user can quickly find and execute the desired function within the integrated menu, and the integration You can include it in the menu.

Specifically, the display unit 130 confirms the category to which the second function belongs from the database 140, and when the program is 'medical medical record (EMR)' executed in a hospital terminal, 'patient reservation', 'patient According to the category identified as one of 'reception' and 'patient management', the second function may be classified and included in the integrated menu.

For example, referring to FIG. 3 , the display unit 130 divides the selected second functions 331 and 332 into 'reservation', 'reception', and 'management' according to the category to which each function belongs, and divides it into an integrated menu ( 330) can be included.

Accordingly, the user can find and execute a desired function more quickly by using a category in the integrated menu 330 visualized on the screen 320 .

According to an embodiment, when the second function is selected by the terminal 150 in the integrated menu, the execution unit 210 may execute the second function through the screen of the terminal 150 , and the display unit 130 ) in conjunction with the execution of the second function, a function included in the integrated menu may be modified and visualized as an executable function in connection with the second function.

4 is a diagram illustrating another example of an integrated menu visualized when a target object is selected in the system for dynamically providing an integrated menu according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the execution unit 210 executes the selected receipt when the 'receipt issuance function' is selected in the integrated menu 330 visualized on the execution screen 320 of the reservation list function shown in FIG. The issuance function may be executed in the terminal 150 .

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4 , the execution screen 410 of the receipt issuance function, that is, a list of patients' past medical records may be output, and the category 'management' to which the 'receipt issuance function' belongs on the execution screen 410 ( 401) may be activated and displayed.

Among the past medical records listed on the execution screen 410, when a key input for operating the integrated menu 430 occurs while the electronic record 402 of a patient at a specific date and time is selected by the terminal 150 as a target object , the display unit 130 may visualize the integrated menu 430 including a second function executable in connection with the 'receipt issuance function' on the execution screen 420 .

Here, the 'all function list' 331 of the integrated menu 330 shown in FIG. 3 is a function that can be executed in all categories without selecting a target object, so the same 'all function list' 431 in the integrated menu 430 of FIG. ) will be included.

Therefore, on the execution screen 420 of FIG. 4 switched according to the selection of a function in the integrated menu 330 visualized on the execution screen 320 in FIG. 3 , the display unit 130 displays 'All The function list '331 is maintained as it is, and only the function list 332 of the execution screen 320 of the integrated menu 330 is modified to the function list 432 of the execution screen 420 of FIG. ) can be visualized quickly.

As such, the display unit 130 can be dynamically configured according to the function being executed on the screen of the terminal at the present time without fixing the functions included in the integrated menu, so that the user can quickly select the desired function using the integrated menu at the present time on any screen. find and run.

As described above, according to the present invention, the integrated menu is dynamically configured with functions within the program that can be executed at the present time, and the integrated menu can be visualized and used on the screen at any time while the program is running. to make it easy to find and run.

According to the present invention, it is possible to help the convenience of the user who does not know which functions exist where by dynamically and appropriately showing the menus that the user can currently perform when the user wants in the program. User inconvenience can be eliminated.

5 is a diagram illustrating a database in which data for each function is maintained in the integrated menu dynamic providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the database 500 may maintain function-specific data 510 , 520 , and 530 of all functions provided by the program.

In the data for each function (510, 520, 530), the category to which the corresponding function belongs within the program (Cartegory), the target category (Target_Cartegory) to which the function that can visualize the integrated menu including the corresponding function belongs, and the corresponding function At least one of a target object (eg, a specific patient or a specific medical record) that can be executed only when selected, a label for the corresponding function, and a state condition that must be satisfied when the corresponding function is executed can be specified. have.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the database 500 includes a category "reservation" to which the reservation list function belongs, a label "reservation list" of the reservation list function, and a target category that can visualize the integrated menu including the reservation list function " The reservation list function data 510 may be maintained by designating "all", a target object "all" required for executing the reservation list function, and a state condition "none" to be satisfied when the reservation list function is executed.

According to the reservation list function data 510, since the target category is “all” and the target object is “all”, the reservation list function is included in the integrated menu regardless of the target object or category, no matter which screen the integrated menu is visualized. will become

In addition, referring to FIG. 5 , the database 500 includes a category "reservation" to which the reservation reception function belongs, a label "reception" of the reservation reception function, and a target category "reservation" that can visualize an integrated menu including the reservation reception function, reservation Reservation reception function data ( 520) can be maintained.

According to the data 520 of the reservation reception function, since the target category is "reservation", the reservation reception function is included only in the integrated menu visualized on the execution screen of the function belonging to "reservation", and another category "management" or "reception" Reservation reception function cannot be included in the integrated menu visualized on the execution screen of the function belonging to ".

In addition, according to the data 520 of the reservation reception function, since the target object is "patient", only when the target object is selected as "patient" on the execution screen, the reservation reception function may be included in the integrated menu.

In addition, according to the data 520 of the reservation reception function, since the status condition is "reservation not canceled", only when the reservation status of the target object selected on the execution screen is not canceled or absent, the reservation reception function in the integrated menu may be included.

In addition, referring to FIG. 5 , the database 500 includes a category "management" to which the receipt issuance function belongs, a label "receipt issuance" of the receipt issuance function, a target category "All" that can visualize an integrated menu including a receipt issuance function, The receipt issuance function data 530 may be maintained by designating a target object "patient & medical record" required for executing the receipt issuance function and a state condition "none" that must be satisfied when the receipt issuance function is executed.

According to the data 530 of the receipt issuance function, since the target category is “all” and the target object is “patient” or “medical record”, if “patient” or “medical record” is selected as the target object, the category Regardless of which screen is visualized, the integrated menu can include a receipt issuance function.

The integrated menu dynamic provision system designates data for each function as above for each of the entire functions provided by the program and maintains it in the database 500, and when a key input for operating the integrated menu occurs, the target category, target object, and state A function satisfying the three conditions may be searched from the database 500 and selected as an executable second function in connection with the first function being executed.

For example, if you want to visualize the integrated menu after selecting one [Reserved Patient] from the list of patients in the [Reservation] category, the integrated menu dynamic provision system requires condition 1) The target category is “All” or includes the [Reservation] category. and condition 2) the target object is “all” or includes [patient], and condition 3) the status condition is “none” or a function that has data that satisfies the status condition (for example, the reservation list function 510, The reservation reception function 520 and the receipt issuing function 530) may be found in the database 500 and included in the integrated menu.

As another example, if you want to visualize the integrated menu after selecting one [Patient in Reservation Canceled] from the list of patients in the [Reservation] menu, the integrated menu dynamic provision system is conditional 1) If the target category is “All” or [Reservation] Including category, condition 2) target object is “all” or including [patient], condition 3) function with status condition “none” or data that satisfies condition condition (e.g., reservation list function) (510), the receipt issuance function 530) can be found in the database 500 and included in the integrated menu.

As another example, if you want to visualize the integrated menu after selecting one [medical record] of a specific date and time from the list of medical records for a specific patient in the [Management] menu, the integrated menu dynamic provision system requires that condition 1) target category be “All” or includes [Management], condition 2) Target object is “all” or includes [medical record], and condition 3) Status condition is “none” or a function that has data that satisfies the status condition (e.g. , reservation list function 510, receipt issuance function 530) can be found in the database 500 and included in the integrated menu.

In this way, the integrated menu dynamic provision system designates the target category, target object, and state condition to show functions by function, so that the integrated menu can be converted into a function suitable for the situation when the user requests it, that is, a function that can be executed in connection with the function being executed. The integrated menu can be dynamically configured and visualized.

Hereinafter, the workflow of the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8 .

6 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a method for dynamically providing an integrated menu according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 , in step 610 , the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 maintains function-specific data for each function in the program in a database.

In the data for each function, the category to which the function belongs within the program (Cartegory), the target category (Target_Cartegory) to which the function that can visualize the integrated menu including the function belongs, and the target object that can be executed only when the function is selected At least one of a target (eg, a specific patient or a specific medical record), a label for a corresponding function, and a condition to be satisfied when the corresponding function is executed may be designated.

In step 620, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 executes the first function in the program on the terminal screen.

In step 630, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 detects the occurrence of a key input (eg, 'double-click the Ctrl key') for pre-determined integrated menu visualization on the execution screen of the first function.

When the occurrence of the key input is detected, in step 640 , the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 selects a second function that can be executed in connection with the first function from among all functions in the program.

In step 650, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 determines whether the category to which the first function belongs is included in the target category that can display the second function in the integrated menu.

If included, if the category of the first function corresponds to the target category, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 includes the second function in the integrated menu and visualizes it on the screen in step 660 .

If not included, if the category of the first function is not in the target category, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 excludes the second function from the integrated menu in step 670 .

As described above, according to the present invention, when a specific key input for visualizing the integrated menu (eg, 'click the Ctrl key twice') is generated, based on the first function in the program being executed on the screen of the terminal at the present time, the first By selecting the second function in the program that can be executed in connection with the function and visualizing the integrated menu including the selected second function on the screen, the user convenience is improved so that the user can easily execute the desired function through the integrated menu can do.

7 is a detailed flowchart illustrating a process of selecting a second function to be included in an integrated menu in a method for dynamically providing an integrated menu according to an embodiment of the present invention.

7, a detailed flowchart of the step 640 shown in FIG. 6 is shown.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in step 710 , the integrated menu dynamic provision system 100 determines whether a target object (patient or medical record) is selected when a key input for visualizing the integrated menu occurs on the execution screen of the first function. judge

When the key input occurs while the target object is selected, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 moves to step 730 through step 720, and when the key input occurs while the target object is not selected In this case, the flow goes directly to step 730 .

That is, if the target object is selected, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 searches the database for the function of selecting the same target object (patient or medical record) as the first function in step 720, and then steps ( In 730), like the first function, a function that can be executed without selecting a target object is searched from the database.

On the other hand, when the target object is not selected, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 skips the step 720 and moves directly to step 730, a function that can be executed without selecting the target object like the first function. is retrieved from the database.

In step 740, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 determines that the function searched for in step 720 or 730 is a state condition (eg, "reservation must not be canceled)" ") is satisfied.

According to the determination result in step 740, in step 750, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 selects a function satisfying the state condition among the searched functions as a second function to be included in the integrated menu. do.

Alternatively, in step 760, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 excludes a function that does not satisfy the state condition among the searched functions when selecting the second function.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a process of revising and visualizing an integrated menu in conjunction with execution of a new function in a method for dynamically providing an integrated menu according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The processing procedure after step 660 shown in FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. 8 .

Referring to FIG. 8 , in step 810 , the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 detects whether a second function included in the integrated menu is selected by the terminal.

When the second function in the integrated menu is selected, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 executes the selected second function in step 820 so that an execution screen of the second function is output. Accordingly, the execution screen of the first function being executed is switched to the execution screen of the second function selected through the integrated menu.

In step 830, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 reselects functions to be included in the integrated menu based on the second function in conjunction with the transition to the execution screen of the second function.

In step 840, the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 modifies and visualizes the integrated menu visualized in FIG. 6 to include an executable function in connection with the second function.

For example, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 , the integrated menu dynamic providing system 100 maintains the 'full function list' 331 in the integrated menu 330 visualized in FIG. 3 as it is, and the integrated menu 330 Only the function list 332 of the execution screen 320 of FIG. 4 is modified to the function list 432 of the execution screen 420 of FIG. 4 to quickly visualize the integrated menu 430 .

As such, the integrated menu dynamic provision system 100 can be dynamically configured according to the function being executed on the screen of the terminal at the present time without fixing the functions included in the integrated menu, so that the user can use the integrated menu at the present time on any screen. You can quickly find and execute the functions you want.
