Shown in as described above, the display device 25 of this embodiment 1 has: nonvolatile memory (storage part) 6, and it is stored display setting; Management information change module (administrative unit) S15, it is associated with picture structure, and the display setting of one or more display units is managed as subsection; Module (amending unit) S11 is accepted in correction, and its content to display setting is revised; Subsection is preserved module (preservation unit) S12, and it will comprise the new subsection of revised display setting, according to new and old order, in the different zone of the old subsection with before revising of nonvolatile memory 6, stores; New and old subsection link module (connection unit) S14, it is associated new subsection and old subsection; And display part 5; It is based on the display setting that is attached to the subsection of appointed regulation tagmeme in a plurality of subsections that are associated; Display unit is shown; This display device 25 changes at picture through making with the corresponding display unit of external signal of the controller that is connected from the outside (external instrument) 3 inputs, thereby the running-active status of controller (external instrument) 3 is shown.And the display packing of display unit is based on display setting and is definite.Thus, even after revising display setting, also can easily return to the display setting of the subsection before revising.

[concrete example]

Below, as concrete example, explain with prior art identically in line production system shown in Figure 20, to the display setting (C) of the subsection 2 that sets and the situation that display setting (D) is revised.In addition; In the explanation below; The display setting (C) of the display setting of subsection 1 (A), (B) and subsection 2, (D) identical ground with prior art; Generated by picture data generating apparatus 26, the display setting (C) of display setting (A), (B) and the subsection 2 of the subsection 1 of above-mentioned generation, (D) store in the picture data storage area of nonvolatile memory 6 via generating apparatus I/F 9 is as shown in Figure 9 when date and time is " 0 ".In addition, in the picture data storage area of nonvolatile memory 6, can store 4 subsections, the address that can store the zone of subsection is made as 1,2,3,4, and subsection 1 is kept at respectively in the zone by address 1 and 2 appointments with subsection 2.In addition; When the subsection that will receive via generating apparatus I/F 9 at CPU 28 is preserved in the picture data storage area of nonvolatile memory 6; As the new old information T1 of subsection 1 and preserve " 0 "; Preserve as the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 1 " nothings ", preserve as the regional P1 of a last subsection of subsection 1 " nothing ", preserve as the new old information T1 of subsection 2 " 0 "; Preserve as the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 2 " nothings ", preserve as the regional P1 of a last subsection of subsection 2 " nothing ".And management information A1 can be stored to the numbering " 2 " of subsection, as the address of subsection 1 and store " 1 ", as the address of subsection 2 and store " 2 ".

At first, the user touches the upper right corner on the touch panel 7, makes display part 5 show the display setting that is attached to subsection 2.At this moment, in the storage area of the demonstration medium and small unit address of storer 11, storage is as " 2 " of the address of subsection 2.Then, the user operates mode selector switch 8 under the state that touch panel 7 is not touched, and begins display setting is revised.At this moment; Correction is accepted module S11 from the demonstration medium and small unit address storage area of storer 11; Obtain in display part 5 address " 2 " of the subsection 2 that shows, will in address " 2 ", preserve comprise display setting (C) and subsection (D) 2 duplicates to storer 11.Here; If the user moves the position of shown in Figure 24 " 27 " of display setting (C) from the display position m6 that is stored in display setting (C) to the position of " 47 ", the value that then will copy to the display position m6 of the display setting (C) that the subsection 2 in the storer 11 had changes to " 47 "., will be called display setting (C2) to the display setting (C) that display position m6 carries out after changing by the user here, the subsection 2 that will comprise display setting (C2) is called subsection 2-2.

If the user operates mode selector switch 8 once more, then carry out subsection and preserve module S12.Once more according to Fig. 5, the action of the subsection preservation module S12 in this concrete example is described here.At first, the start address with the picture data storage area in the nonvolatile memory 6 is that preservation (step S71) in the candidate areas is preserved to the subsection of storer 11 in " 1 ".Then, in the concern subsection numbering storage area of storer 11, preserve " 1 " (step S72).Then, be that (step S73) preserved in " 1 " in temporary transient storage area, subsection address with the address that management information A1 had in the nonvolatile memory 6 by the subsection 1 of paying close attention to " 1 " appointment of preserving in the subsection numbering storage area.

If in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserved the address; Then with reference to last subsection zone P1 (step S75) by the subsection 1 in the nonvolatile memory 6 of address " 1 " appointment of preserving in the temporary transient storage area, subsection address; Because the value of the last subsection zone P1 of subsection 1 is " nothing "; So promptly " 1 " and the address " 1 " of in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserving compare (step S77) will to preserve the address that preserve in the candidate areas at the subsection of storer 11; Because it is consistent; Be pushed into " 2 " so will preserve the address of preserving in the candidate areas from " 1 " is preceding at the subsection of storer 11; And preserve to subsection and to preserve (step S78) in the candidate areas, if execution in step S73 once more, then with management information A1 had by the address of the subsection 1 of paying close attention to " 1 " appointment of preserving in the subsection numbering storage area promptly " 1 " in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserve once more.

In addition; Because the value of a subsection zone P1 is " nothing " on step S75 medium and small unit 1; So promptly " 2 " and the address " 1 " of in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserving compare (step S77) will to preserve the address that preserve in the candidate areas at the subsection of storer 11; Because it is inconsistent; So reference is by the value (step S79) of the next subsection zone N1 of the subsection 1 of address " 1 " appointment of in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserving; Because the value of the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 1 is " nothing "; So whether exist in the management information A1 of investigation nonvolatile memory 6 in to the next one of " 1 " of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving number " 2 " subsection, be the zone (step S81) that store the address of subsection 2, if the numbering of subsection is less than or equal to " 2 ", then have the zone that the address is stored; The next one numbering of " 1 " i.e. that therefore will in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserve is " 2 ", in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserves.

The value of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving during for " 2 " also identically, if execution in step S73 to step S79, then when execution in step S81, preserves preservation " 3 " in the candidate areas to subsection.At this moment, bigger because the next one value of the value " 2 " of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving is " 3 " than the maximum numbering " 2 " of the subsection of in management information A1, preserving the address, so execution in step S85.

Because the address of picture data storage area of nonvolatile memory 6 is dropped on promptly in 1,2,3,4 the scope in the address " 3 " of in subsection is preserved candidate areas, preserving; So will be copied in the storer 11 and comprise the subsection 2-2 of the revised display setting of user (C2), locate to preserve (step S83) to preserve the address " 3 " of preserving in the candidate areas at subsection.

As stated; If will comprise the subsection of revised display setting preserves in nonvolatile memory 6; Then carry out new old information and preserve module S13; In the new old information T1 of the subsection 2-2 that in nonvolatile memory 6, preserves, preserve the date and time that accesses from clock 32.Save as date and time " 1 " here.

Below; Utilize new and old subsection link module S 14; Preserve in the last subsection zone P1 that is had by the subsection 2-2 that preserves address " 3 " appointment of preserving in the candidate areas at subsection the address " 2 " that will in the storage area of the demonstration medium and small unit address of storer 11, preserve.In addition, in the next subsection zone N1 that subsection 2-2 is had, preserve " nothing ".Then, among the next subsection zone N1 of the subsection 2 of address " 2 " appointment of in demonstration medium and small unit address storage area, preserving, preserve preserving the address " 3 " of preserving in the candidate areas at subsection by storer 11.

Then; Utilize management information change module S15; Among the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6; The subsection of the value " 2 " of in to the concern subsection of storer 11 numbering storage area, preserving, be in the zone of storing, the address of subsection 2, the address " 3 " of preserving the subsection 2-2 that stores in the candidate areas at subsection is preserved.

Figure 10 is illustrated in and is kept at subsection 2-2 and subsection 2 in the nonvolatile memory 6 through the present invention after subsection 2 is revised by the user.In Figure 10, omit subsection 1.In addition, with display setting (C2) display setting C2 is shown accordingly.As stated, in the display position m6 of the display setting C2 that subsection 2-2 is had, preserve and reflected that the value that the user revises is " 47 ".In the N1 of the next subsection zone of subsection 2, preserve " 3 " of the address of expression subsection 2-2, on subsection 2-2, preserve " 2 " of the address of expression subsection 2 among subsection zone P1.And,, become " 3 " of the address of expression subsection 2-2 owing to the 2nd value of in management information A1, the address of subsection 2 being stored; So if CPU 28 is in order to show the display setting that is attached to subsection 2 on display part 5; And, then obtain address " 3 ", its result with reference to the 2nd value of management information A1; In display part 5, replace subsection 2 and show the display setting that is attached to subsection 2-2.

When Figure 11 is illustrated in the date and time that accesses from clock 32 for " 2 "; The user further with the display position of the display setting (D) of subsection 2-2 when " 67 " shown in Figure 24 are modified to " 77 ", the subsection of in nonvolatile memory 6, preserving with the execution example of the above-mentioned module that the subsection that comprises revised display setting is preserved identically.Here, the user is carried out revised display setting (D) to display position m6 be called display setting (D2), the subsection 2-2 that will comprise display setting (D2) is called subsection 2-3.In Figure 11, subsection 1 and subsection 2 are omitted.In addition, with display setting (D2) display setting D2 is shown accordingly.

Display position m6 for the display setting D2 of subsection 2-3 according to above-mentioned user's correction operations, preserves as value " 77 ".In addition; In the new old information T1 of subsection 2-3; The date and time " 2 " of preserving that the user revises the display setting that is attached to subsection 2-2 and subsection 2-3 being preserved; In the last subsection zone P1 of subsection 2-3, preserving the subsection that comprises the display setting before revising is the preservation address " 3 " of subsection 2-2, then, in the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 2-3, preserves " nothing ".In addition, in the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 2-2, preserve the preservation address " 4 " that the display setting that subsection 2-2 is had carries out revised subsection 2-3.

And because in management information A1, the 2nd value that the address of subsection 2 is stored becomes " 4 " of the address of expression subsection 2-3; So if CPU 28 is in order to show the display setting that is attached to subsection 2 in display part 5; And, then obtain address " 4 ", its result with reference to the 2nd value of management information A1; In display part 5, replace subsection 2 and the display setting that is attached to subsection 2-3 is shown.

Figure 12 is illustrated in when date and time is for " 2 " in this concrete example, the subsection of in the picture data storage area of nonvolatile memory 6, preserving.In by

address

1,2,3, the zone shown in 4, preserve

subsection

1,2,2-2,2-3 respectively, do not have dummy section.Thus; Even the user further revises display setting; Also can't the subsection that comprise revised display setting be preserved in nonvolatile memory 6,, must carry out module that makes the subsection recovery or the module that subsection is deleted in order to preserve.

Then, if the user touches the lower right corner on the touch panel 7 on one side, on one side mode selector switch 8 is operated, then carry out the module that subsection is restored.If carry out the module that subsection is restored, then at first carry out the interior time on date of module that subsection is restored and accept module S21, in display part 5, carry out demonstration to user prompt input date and time.In this concrete example, the user shows according to this, imports as the date and time that restores " 1 ".If the user has imported the date and time that restores, then the date and time " 1 " of input is preserved in time on the date storage area of storer 11.

If in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserved date and time, then carried out subsection restoration module S22.Once more according to Fig. 7, the action of the subsection restoration module S22 in this concrete example is described here.At first, in the concern subsection numbering storage area of storer 11, preserve " 1 " (step S111).Then, be " 1 " with the address that management information A1 had in the nonvolatile memory 6 by the subsection 1 of paying close attention to " 1 " appointment of preserving in the subsection numbering storage area, in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserve (step S112).

If in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserved the address; Then will compare (step S113) by the value " 0 " of the new old information T1 of the subsection 1 in the nonvolatile memory of address " 1 " appointment of preserving in the temporary transient storage area, subsection address 6 and the value " 1 " of in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserving; Because value equates; That is, the value of the new old information T1 of subsection 1 is new unlike " 1 ", so preserve " nothing " (step S115) as the value of last subsection zone P1 of subsection 1; But because the value of the last subsection zone P1 of subsection 1 has been " nothing ", so value does not change.Then; Among the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6; To number the subsection of value " 1 " appointment of preserving in the storage area, be the address " 1 " of subsection 1 by paying close attention to subsection; Be rewritten as the address " 1 " (step S116) of in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserving, but value does not change still.

Then; Because among the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6; The next one numbering " 2 " of the numbering " 1 " of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving is less than or equal to the maximum numbering " 2 " of the subsection of in management information A1, preserving; So be judged to be the zone (step S117) that existence is stored the address of subsection 2; Thus, the next one numbering " 2 " of the numbering " 1 " that will in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserve is preserved in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, once more execution in step S112.

In the step S112 that carries out once more; Will be in nonvolatile memory 6 management information A1 had to the address " 4 " of the subsection 2-3 that stores in the zone of being stored by the address of the subsection 2 of paying close attention to " 2 " appointment of preserving in the subsection numbering storage area, in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserve.If in step S 113, the value " 2 " of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-3 and the value " 1 " of in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserving are compared; Then because the value of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-3 is newer than " 1 "; So in step S114; Preserve in temporary transient storage area, subsection address the address " 3 " of will be on subsection 2-3 preserving among subsection zone P1; If once more in step S113, will compare by the value " 1 " of the new old information T1 of the subsection 2-2 of address " 2 " appointment of preserving in the temporary transient storage area, subsection address and the value " 1 " of in time on date storage area, preserving, then value equates; Promptly; The value of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-2 is new unlike " 1 ", therefore, in step S115, preserves as the value of the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 2-2 " nothing ".

Then; In step S116; In the address of the subsection that management information A1 had in nonvolatile memory 6; To change to the address " 2 " of in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserving to carrying out address stored by the address that is kept at the subsection 2 of paying close attention to value " 2 " appointment in the subsection numbering storage area.Then; Because the next one numbering " 3 " of the numbering " 2 " of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving is bigger than the maximum numbering " 2 " of preserving among the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6; So be judged to be and do not have the zone (step S117) that subsection 3 is stored, end process among the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6.Then; The user upper right corner of touch panel 7 is touched; To in display part 5, show when being attached to the display setting of subsection 2; Because in the zone that store the address to subsection 2 of the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6, the address of having stored subsection 2-2 is so show the display setting that is attached to subsection 2-2 in display part 5.In addition; The user upper left corner of touch panel 7 is touched; To in display part 5, show when being attached to the display setting of subsection 1; Owing to store the address of subsection 1 in the zone that store the address to subsection 1 of the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6, in display part 5, show the display setting that is attached to subsection 1.

As stated; In this concrete example; If make the module of subsection recovery in execution after, the user revises display setting, carry out the module that the subsection that comprises revised display setting is preserved; Then in the address that subsection 2-3 is preserved " 4 ", preserve the subsection that comprises revised display setting.That is, after execution made the module that subsection restores, shown in figure 13, the address " 4 " that will in Figure 12, preserve subsection 2-3 was regarded as dummy section.

As stated; In order to carry out the module that subsection is restored, the user touches on one side the lower right corner on the touch panel 7 on one side mode selector switch is operated, if replace; The user touches the lower left corner on the touch panel 7 on one side; On one side mode selector switch is operated, then in the picture data storage area of nonvolatile memory 6, under the state that stores subsection shown in figure 12, carried out module the subsection deletion.If carry out module with the subsection deletion, then at first carry out the time on date in the module of subsection deletion is accepted module S31, in display part 5, carry out demonstration to user prompt input date and time.In this concrete example, the user shows according to this, as the date and time of the subsection of deleting and import " 1 ".If the user has imported the date and time of the subsection of deleting, then the date and time " 1 " of input is preserved in time on the date storage area of storer 11.

If in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserved date and time, then carried out subsection removing module S32.Once more according to Fig. 8, the action of the subsection removing module S32 in this concrete example is described here.At first, in the concern subsection numbering storage area of storer 11, preserve " 1 " (step S131).Then, be " 1 " with the address that management information A1 had in the nonvolatile memory 6 by the subsection 1 of paying close attention to " 1 " appointment of preserving in the subsection numbering storage area, in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserve (step S132).

If in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserved the address; Then will compare (step S133) by the value " 0 " of the new old information T1 of the subsection 1 in the nonvolatile memory of address " 1 " appointment of preserving in the temporary transient storage area, subsection address 6 and the value " 1 " of in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserving; Because the value of the new old information T1 of subsection 1 is new unlike " 1 "; So with reference to the value (step S135) of in the next subsection zone N1 of subsection 1, storing; Because value is for " nothing ", so execution in step S136 not.

Then; Because among the management information A1 in nonvolatile memory 6; The next one numbering " 2 " of the numbering " 1 " of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving is less than or equal to the maximum numbering " 2 " of the subsection of in management information A1, preserving; So be judged to be the zone (step S137) that existence is stored the address of subsection 2; Thus, the next one numbering " 2 " of the numbering " 1 " that will in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserve is preserved in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, once more execution in step S132.

In the step S132 that carries out once more; Will be in nonvolatile memory 6 management information A1 had to the address " 4 " of the subsection 2-3 that stores in the zone of being stored by the address of the subsection 2 of paying close attention to " 2 " appointment of preserving in the subsection numbering storage area, in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserve.If in step S133; The value " 2 " of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-3 and the value " 1 " of in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserving are compared; Then because the value of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-3 is newer than " 1 ", so in step S134, will in temporary transient storage area, subsection address, preserve in the value " 3 " of a subsection zone P1 on the subsection 2-3; If in step S133, the value " 1 " of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-2 and the value " 1 " of in time on the date storage area of storer 11, preserving are compared once more; Then value equates, that is, the value of the new old information T1 of subsection 2-2 is new unlike " 1 "; Therefore; In step S135 with reference to the value of in the N1 of the next subsection zone of subsection 2-2, storing, because value is " 4 " rather than " nothings " of the address of expression subsection 2-3, so the value of will be on subsection 2-3 in step S136 storing among regional P1 of subsection changes to " nothing ".

Then; In step S137; The next one numbering " 3 " of the numbering " 2 " that investigation is preserved in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area preserve in whether than the management information A1 nonvolatile memory 6 in the address subsection maximum numbering " 2 " greatly; Because the next one numbering " 3 " of the numbering " 2 " of in paying close attention to subsection numbering storage area, preserving is bigger, thus be judged to be the subsection that does not have next numbering, and end process.

As stated; In this concrete example; If after the module of carrying out the subsection deletion; The user revises display setting, carries out the module that the subsection that comprises revised display setting is preserved, and then in the address that subsection 2 is preserved " 2 ", preserves the subsection that comprises revised display setting.Then,, carry out the module that the subsection that comprises revised display setting is preserved, then in the address that subsection 2-2 is preserved " 3 ", preserve the subsection that comprises revised display setting if the user revises display setting.That is, after the module of carrying out the subsection deletion, shown in figure 14, the address " 3 " that not only will in Figure 12, preserve subsection 2-2 is regarded as dummy section, and will also be regarded as dummy section to the address " 2 " that subsection 2 is preserved.In addition, the value of the new old information T1 of subsection 1 is " 0 ", and is older to " 1 " of the subsection appointment of deleting than the user, but subsection 1 does not become dummy section.Thus, the user upper left corner of touch panel 7 is touched, when be in display part 5 display setting that is attached to subsection 1 being shown, the display setting that will be attached to subsection 1 shows in display part 5.

In above-mentioned example; Use the address for the storage area of confirming subsection; But obviously,, replace the address and use filename even each subsection is preserved as file and in nonvolatile memory 6; Zone in nonvolatile memory 6, preserving confirms, also can embodiment of the present invention.

As stated; The corresponding display unit of external signal that the display device of this embodiment is imported through the external instrument that makes and be connected from the outside changes at picture; Thereby the running-active status that shows external instrument; And the display packing of display unit is based on display setting and definite, and this display device has: storage part, and it stores display setting; Administrative unit, it is associated with picture structure, and the display setting of one or more display unit is managed as subsection; Amending unit, its content to display setting is revised; Preserve the unit, it will comprise the new subsection of revised display setting, according to new and old order, in the different zone of the old subsection with before revising of storage part, store; Connection unit, it is associated new subsection and old subsection; And display part; It shows display unit, therefore based on the display setting of the subsection that is attached to the appointed regulation tagmeme in a plurality of subsections that are associated; Has following effect; That is, need not to use the picture data generating apparatus, can easily utilize the preceding display packing of correction that the display unit of the running-active status of external instrument is shown.

In addition, also have new old information and preserve the unit, it is that new old information is associated with subsection when preserving unit storage subsection with the information of confirming its period, in storage part, stores, and therefore, has the effect that can preserve period correction.

And, also having delete cells, it is based on the period of appointment; In the subsection that is associated by connection unit, will have the subsection deletion of the new old information older, and will not have subsection deletion by connection unit subsection associated therewith than the period of appointment; Therefore, has following effect, promptly; The subsection deletion that in the subsection that is associated by connection unit, will have the new old information older than storage period, on the other hand, for the subsection that does not have by connection unit subsection associated therewith; Even what preserve as new old information is than the old period in period by designating unit appointment in period, do not delete yet.

In addition, based on the period of appointment, in the subsection that is associated by connection unit; To subsection, with the subsection of the subsection that wherein has up-to-date new old information, therefore as appointment with new old information older than the period of appointment; Have following effect, that is, and through utilizing regional designating unit; In the subsection that is associated by connection unit; Further, the zone of subsection in storage unit that wherein has up-to-date new old information specified to subsection with new old information older than storage period of appointment, thus can to the period of appointment the subsection that display device can show display setting reproduce.
