Here, the Graph editor 31 of doing of mapping editing device 5 also has the subsidiary function making user generate the operating display frame (screen) of expectation.As described above, the various item image completed in advance and the blank of screen are stored in the hard disk etc. of mapping editing device 5.Utilize the generation subsidiary function of the operating display frame done in Graph editor 31, these various projects of guide look display, user generates screen by selecting desired project and being arranged on desired position.In this example, generate multiple screen.Thus, picture data file 32 (picture data 22) is made up of the data of multiple screen.This point self also can with in the past almost identical.

But in this example, such as, as above-mentioned project, the special switch of above-mentioned screens switch is also prepared in advance and is stored in hard disk of above-mentioned mapping editing device 5 etc.Or, the special switch of screens switch also can be pre-set in the blank of above-mentioned screen.In any case, according to this method, substantially on the screen of whole above-mentioned generation, same prescribed switch (special switch of screens switch) is set.

Fig. 4 (a) is the functional block diagram of the programable display 1 of this example.

The programable display 1 of illustrated example such as has display control unit 101, priority judging part 102 and switches target determination portion 103.

Display control unit 101 shows any one in multiple screen.This such as shows based on picture data 22 etc. as described above.

If the operation specified on the current screen shown, then priority judegment part 102 differentiates based on the real data in past the priority switching target candidate screen.The real data in past refers to the frequency of utilization (such as showing number of times or switching times etc.) of such as each screen, but is not limited to this example.In addition, the operation of afore mentioned rules is the operation of the special switch (not shown) of such as above-mentioned screens switch.In this method, for screens switch, the special switch of this screens switch is only set at whole screen (, there is switching target screen herein).

Switch target determination portion 103 according to the priority differentiated by this priority judegment part 102, above-mentioned switching target candidate screen is shown in a prescribed manner, the screen of at random specifying for this display is defined as switch target.

The mode of afore mentioned rules is the thumbnail image guide look of such as screen.When this example, such as, switch target determination portion 103 and the thumbnail image of the screen switching target candidate is shown with above-mentioned priority.This shows with the order that priority is high substantially, such as, be presented at the thumbnail image guide look display field 42 of screens switch menu window 40 described later.Further, specify arbitrary thumbnail by user, the screen of the thumbnail image of this being specified is defined as the screen switching target.

Or the mode of afore mentioned rules is such as shown successively according to time sequencing specified time intervals by each screen.This is such as shown successively by the process of Figure 17 described later.In detail as aftermentioned.When this example, switching target determination portion 103 and the screen of switching target candidate is shown successively according to above-mentioned priority, being defined as the screen switching target by there being the screen of predetermined operation in display.

In addition, the screen of above-mentioned switching target candidate is such as stored in display resume reservoir 104 described later.

Or the screen of above-mentioned switching target candidate is the screen of the condition that conforms with the regulations such as be stored in display resume reservoir 104 described later.Such as, when the example that Fig. 7 (c) described later represents, being switched screen No.71 is that the switching target screen No.72 of all records of the screen shown represents the screen switching target candidate.Or, also can only using the screen of screen (such as 1 ~ 4) high for wherein priority as above-mentioned switching target candidate.

In addition, the programable display 1 of this example also can have display resume reservoir 104.

Such as " total toggle count " described later pattern, display resume reservoir 104 stores total frequency of utilization (such as Fig. 7 (b) described later) of each screen.Further, when this pattern, priority judegment part 102 differentiates the priority (such as the process of Fig. 9 described later) of the screen switching target candidate based on total frequency of utilization.Such as, the screen that total frequency of utilization is the highest is the screen that priority is the highest.

Or such as " each screens switch counting " described later pattern, display resume reservoir 104 stores the frequency of utilization (such as Fig. 7 (c) described later) of each screen being respectively switched screen.And, when this pattern, the screen shown is switched screen as above-mentioned by priority judegment part 102, based on the frequency of utilization that this is switched above-mentioned each screen corresponding to screen, differentiate the priority (such as the process of Figure 11 described later) of the screen of above-mentioned switching target candidate.

Or such as " screen often used recently " described later pattern, display resume reservoir 104 stores the frequency of utilization (such as Fig. 8 (a) described later) of each screen.Only can store the data in nearest specified time limit, be not limited to this example.And, when this pattern, priority judegment part 102, based on total frequency of utilization of each screen in that obtained by above-mentioned display resume reservoir 104, nearest specified time limit, differentiates the priority (such as the process of Figure 13 described later) of the screen of above-mentioned switching target candidate.

Or, such as " the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " described later pattern, display resume reservoir 104 stores the frequency of utilization (such as Fig. 8 (b) described later) of other each screen of arbitrary handover source and an arbitrary upper picture screen combination to each screen.And, when this pattern, priority judegment part 102 based on using the screen shown as above-mentioned be switched screen and using the screen shown before as an above-mentioned upper picture screen the combination being switched screen and an above-mentioned upper picture screen corresponding to the frequency of utilization of above-mentioned each screen, differentiate the priority (such as the process of Figure 15 described later) of the screen of above-mentioned switching target candidate.

But, as aftermentioned, be not limited to the example utilizing " a upper picture " like this, also can as aftermentioned formation.

That is, show resume reservoir 104 also the frequency of utilization of other each screen beyond the combination being switched screen and arbitrary more than " in the past display screen " arbitrarily to be stored.And, in this situation, preferential storage judegment part 102 such as using the more than one screen that shows before this frequency of utilization as each screen corresponding to the handover source of above-mentioned " before display screen " and the combination of above-mentioned " before display screen ", differentiates the priority of the screen switching target candidate as handover source based on using the screen shown.

In addition, when above-mentioned any pattern, the differentiation of above-mentioned priority is such as equivalent to the process of frequency of utilization described later (display number of times etc.) by higher order sequence, but is not limited to this example.

In addition, programable display 1, such as further, also can have the mode selection part 105 of the arbitrary patterns in the pattern selecting multiple kind.In this situation, above-mentioned priority judegment part 102 carries out differentiating with priority corresponding to pattern selected and processes.

Here, the functional block diagram of the programable display 1 of this example is not limited to the example of above-mentioned Fig. 4 (a), also can be the example shown in Fig. 4 (b).But Fig. 4 (a) and Fig. 4 (b) can regard content almost identical (also can regard generalized approach as or expression way does not have difference) as substantially.

When the example of Fig. 4 (b), programable display 1 is made up of control part 110 and reservoir 120.Control part 110 realizes illustrated various function part.That is, control part 110 realize illustrated screens switch candidate display portion 111, screens switch autotimer 112, screen order of candidates successively display part 113, switch the various function parts of target screen specimens preserving 114 and sequence handling part 123.This is that such as above-mentioned CPU11 is stored in the program of ROM12 in advance by execution, realizes above-mentioned various function part 111 ~ 114,123 etc.In addition, in illustrated example, sequence handling part 123 represents in reservoir 120, and this is to emphasize to represent that the management of the sequence handling part 123 particularly storage data of reservoir 120 controls (sorting etc. with regulation order) function part of being associated.

Reservoir 120 is such as equivalent to a part for the storage area of above-mentioned ROM12 (or RAM13).

Be provided with in reservoir 120 and store the relevant past real data of each screen (data of expression frequency of utilization; Display number of times or switching times etc.) screens switch resume reservoir 121.Above-mentioned sequence handling part 123, based on the storage data of this screens switch resume reservoir 121, generates " high-frequency screen list " 122.The highest for relative application frequency in each screen (its identiflication number etc.) is such as placed on beginning by " high-frequency screen list " 122, and the order high by frequency of utilization (priority) sorts.

Further, screens switch candidate display portion 111 or screen order of candidates successively display part 113 based on " high-frequency screen list " 122, realize the suitable display of handoff candidate screen.Suitable display refers to, when screens switch candidate display portion 111, is undertaken arranging or showing by the thumbnail of handoff candidate screen by the order that frequency of utilization is high.Or, screen order of candidates successively display part 113 when, show as switching the screen of target candidate successively with time sequencing by the order that frequency of utilization is high.

In addition, display part 113 and screens switch autotimer 112 link and carry out action screen order of candidates successively.That is, screens switch autotimer 112 is overtime and again start immediately after each stipulated time (such as per several seconds) through presetting.Screen order of candidates successively display part 113, after each time-out of screens switch autotimer 112, according to the clooating sequence (priority) of " high-frequency screen list " 112, shows next handoff candidate screen 112.

Switch target screen specimens preserving 114 such as when carrying out screens switch at every turn, upgrade the content of screens switch resume reservoir 121.That is, if to arbitrary screens switch, then the frequency of utilization (display number of times or switching times etc.) of (+1) this screen is upgraded.

In addition, in " high-frequency screen list " 122, also only can store the screen (such as only above the screen of four) of the higher regulation number of frequency of utilization.

In addition, here as an example, whole multiple screens arrange the special switch of screens switch.Thus, any screen shown can the special switch that switches of function screen, and when at every turn operating this special switch by user, performs the process of the step S12 ~ S18 of Fig. 5.

If operate above-mentioned special switch (step S11 is yes), then programable display 1 such as shows the screens switch menu window 40 (step S12) shown in Fig. 6.

In the example of Fig. 6, screens switch menu window 40 has model selection hurdle 41, thumbnail image guide look display field 42, " starting to automatically switch " switch 43 etc.

If user selects desired pattern (step S13) in model selection hurdle 41, then programable display 1 performs the process with the process corresponding to pattern of selection and step S14, S15.In detail as aftermentioned, but the thumbnail substantially performing the switching target candidate screen corresponding with the pattern (preference pattern) of selection is had a guide look of and is shown.That is, extract data corresponding to preference pattern (screen numbering, switching times etc.) from screens switch history data 50, the sequence process (step S14) based on this switching times etc. is carried out to extraction data.Further, based on this ranking results (priority), thumbnail guide look display (step S15) switching target candidate screen is carried out.

Here, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 represent the concrete example of screens switch history data 50.

Fig. 7 (a) is the data structure example of screens switch history data 50 entirety.

In this example, kind of the pattern of four shown in set-up dirgram 6 is as above-mentioned pattern.That is, " total toggle count " pattern that the model selection hurdle 41 preparing Fig. 6 in advance represents, " each screens switch counting " pattern, " screen often used recently " pattern, " the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " pattern.

But the kind of pattern and number are not limited to this example.Such as to " each screens switch counting " pattern, it also can be the pattern of the consideration method applying " screen often used recently " pattern.That is, based on the past real data of nearest specified time limit, also to the different screen as handover source, the switching times (frequency of utilization) switched to as each screen switching target can be counted.Therewith in the same manner, to " the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " pattern, it also can be the pattern of the consideration method being applicable to " screen often used recently " pattern.

The example of Fig. 7 (a) is corresponding with the example shown in above-mentioned Fig. 6.That is, screens switch history data 50 is made up of " amounting to toggle count pattern data " 51, " each screens switch count mode data " 52, " the screen data often used recently " 53 and " the screen candidate display data linked with a upper picture " 54.

The concrete example of " total toggle count pattern data " 51 that Fig. 7 (b) represents, Fig. 7 (c) represents the concrete example of " each screens switch count mode data " 52.Same, the concrete example of " the screen data often used recently " 53 that Fig. 8 (a) represents, Fig. 8 (b) represents the concrete example of " the screen candidate display data linked with a upper picture " 54.Hereafter these concrete examples are described.

In the process of above-mentioned steps S14, the data that obtaining step S13 selects the pattern of specifying corresponding from above-mentioned four kinds of data 51 ~ 54.Further, such as according to switching times, the data obtained (respectively recording) are carried out sort (such as sorting with the order that switching times is many).Or, from the data obtained, extract the data of the condition that conforms with the regulations further.Further, such as according to switching times, the data obtained (respectively recording) are carried out sort (such as sorting with the order that switching times is many).

Further, as described above, based on this ranking results, thumbnail guide look display (step S15) switching target candidate is carried out.This generates by clooating sequence the downscaled images (thumbnail image) that each record " switches target screen to number " screen represented, is presented at by this thumbnail image in thumbnail image guide look display field 42.Thus, such as, to generate its downscaled images (thumbnail image) successively the screen from switching times many (frequency of utilization is high) and to be presented at thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Above-mentioned clooating sequence represents the priority of candidate display.Substantially, the screen of switching times relatively higher (frequency of utilization is high), priority is higher.Further, the thumbnail of the screen that priority is high, is preferentially presented at thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

User, with reference to the display of above-mentioned thumbnail image guide look display field 42, carries out the operation (step S16) of selecting and specifying desired thumbnail image.Here, utilize above-mentioned process, the thumbnail of higher for the actual value of past switching times (that is, the likelihood ratio also selected by user is specifically higher) is presented on the position easily selected (the beginning part) in thumbnail image guide look display field 42.In addition, the switch of screens switch etc. have nothing to do with the screen number switching target candidate, have above-mentioned special switch one.Thus, in this method, the energy selecting to switch target screen can be alleviated, and make each screen simplify (not needing as in the past, arrange multiple screens switch switch).

Programable display 1 performs the process (step S17) switching to the screen of the thumbnail image of specifying in above-mentioned steps S16.In addition, the hand-off process of screen itself is prior art, is not therefore described especially here.Finally, screens switch history data 50 is upgraded.That is, the switching times+1 that screen above-mentioned steps S17 being switched is associated carries out increasing progressively (step S18), terminates present treatment.

Below, with reference to each accompanying drawing that Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are later, above-mentioned each pattern is described.

First, above-mentioned " total toggle count " pattern is described.

In concrete example shown in Fig. 7 (b), " amounting to toggle count pattern data " 51 is made up of switching target screen No.61, switching times 62.Switching the identification id storing each screen in target screen No.61.Switching times 62 is that the display number of times of each screen is (from the number of times that arbitrary screens switch also shows.Thus be also switching times).

Further, in step S18, to select in above-mentioned steps S16, S17 and switching times 62 corresponding to the identification id of the screen the switched screen of target (that is, switch) is updated (such as being increased progressively by+1).

That is, in this pattern, merely to the display number of times of each screen (from the number of times of any screens switch; Frequency of utilization) count, successively the beginning of its thumbnail image from thumbnail image guide look display field 42 is carried out arranging and showing successively in above-mentioned steps S14 from the screen shown often.

Here, Fig. 9 represents the processing example of step S14, S15 in the situation that have selected " total toggle count " pattern.

In illustrated processing example, extract " amounting to toggle count pattern data " 51 (step S21) from screens switch history data 50, each record (particularly switching target screen No.61) of these extraction data 51 is carried out sorting (step S22) by the order (order that frequency of utilization is high) of switching times more than 62.Further, by this clooating sequence, generate the thumbnail switching the screen that target screen No.61 represents, carry out successively arranging (step S23) from the beginning of thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Here, Figure 10 (a) represents an example of above-mentioned ranking results.

In illustrated example, the switching times 62 switching the screen of target screen No.61=' No.20 ' is maximum, and second is ' No.50 ', and the 3rd is ' No.100 ', and the 4th is ' No.1 ' etc.Thus, in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, the such as thumbnail shown in guide look display Figure 10 (b).

As shown in Figure 10 (b), in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, show the thumbnail image of each screen from upper (for left and right then from left) successively with the order of screen ' No.20 ', screen ' No.50 ', screen ' No.100 ', screen ' No.1 '.In addition, by rolling, the thumbnail image of clooating sequence at the 5th later screen also can be shown.But, from above, due to some higher by the possibility selected in illustrated four screens (thumbnail image), therefore user does not need to carry out rolling operation, and do not expend the energy searching desired screen, the screen desired by just specifying.That is, user specifies the energy of the screen switching target can be limited in minimum.

Further, the multiple screens (its thumbnail image) shown as shown in the figure at thumbnail image guide look display field 42 refer to, the number switching target candidate screen has multiple.Under these circumstances, as described above, screen arranged multiple screens switch switch in the past.Therefore, the region of other project (other switch, button, lamp, figure, numerical value display etc.) on display screen diminishes, and the size of other project diminishes, and is difficult to viewing and operation.In addition, because the size of screens switch switch also diminishes, therefore such as when additional thumbnail image, be difficult to differentiate on this switch.Therefore, such as, when showing the identification id of above-mentioned ' No.20 ' etc. on this switch, user needs the content of each screen and corresponding identification id to be mapped memory.

On the other hand, in this method, have multiple even if switch target screen, screen also only shows the special switch of a screens switch, also do not affect thumbnail image display, therefore can solve the problem.

Then, above-mentioned " each screens switch counting " pattern is described.

In concrete example shown in Fig. 7 (c), " each screens switch count mode data " 52 by being switched screen No.71, switch target screen No.72, switching times 73 forms.

Switch target screen No.72 almost identical with above-mentioned switching target screen No.61.That is, the screen (switching the screen of target) switching display from above-mentioned arbitrary screen (switching the screen of target) is represented.Further, the identification id storing above-mentioned arbitrary screen (being switched screen) in target screen No.71 is being switched.

That is, in switching times 73, the number of times (actual value) from the screens switch to the screen display that switch target screen No.72 being switched screen No.71 is stored.

Thus, in this mode, the history data about above-mentioned steps S18 when from the screens switch shown arbitrarily to other screen arbitrary adds process, as aftermentioned.

The identification id making above-mentioned (handover source) screen shown and the pairing of the identification id of other screen that switches in above-mentioned steps S17, as search key, retrieve this record.This record is that this is switched screen No.71 and switches the target screen No.72 record identical with above-mentioned search key.Further, the switching times 73+1 of this record is made to increase progressively.

Such as, there are screen ' No.1 ', screen ' No.2 ', screen ' No.3 ' three screens, above-mentioned (total) switching times 62 supposing screen ' No.3 ' is 100 times, and when above-mentioned " total toggle count " pattern, clooating sequence is first (upper) thus.But when this pattern (" each screens switch counting " pattern), not necessarily upper is likely also lowermost position.

Such as, suppose there are two records described later.

First record: be switched screen No.71=' No.1 ', switches target screen No.72=' No.3 ', switching times 73=95 time

Second record: be switched screen No.71=' No.2 ', switches target screen No.72=' No.3 ', switching times 73=5 time

When this example, when the above-mentioned screen shown is screen ' No.1 ', the clooating sequence of screen ' No.3 ' is that upper possibility is higher, therefore in thumbnail image guide look display field 42 thumbnail image of screen ' No.3 ' to be presented at upper possibility higher.

On the other hand, when the above-mentioned screen shown is screen ' No.2 ', the clooating sequence of screen ' No.3 ' is that the next possibility is higher, therefore in thumbnail image guide look display field 42 thumbnail image of screen ' No.3 ' to be presented at the next possibility higher.That is, user must carry out rolling the possibility of the thumbnail image of screen ' No.3 ' just can be found higher.But, in this situation, because script user selects the possibility of screen ' No.3 ' lower, thus no problem.

Here, Figure 11 represents the processing example of step S14, S15 in the situation that have selected " each screens switch counting " pattern.

In illustrated processing example, first, " each screens switch count mode data " 52 (step S31) are extracted from screens switch history data 50.Then, from each record of the data 52 of this extraction, extract and be switched the screen and record that screen No.71 showing.Further, the record of this extraction is carried out sorting (step S32) with the order of switching times more than 73 (order that frequency of utilization is high).Further, by this clooating sequence, generate the thumbnail image of the screen that this switching target screen No.72 represents, carry out successively arranging (step S33) from the beginning of thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Here, Figure 12 (a) represents an example of above-mentioned ranking results.

In addition, in Figure 12 (a), (for convenience of description) illustrates and is multiplely switched screen No.71, but in fact only extracts in above-mentioned steps S32 any one (with corresponding to the screen shown).

Such as, when in illustrated example, showing screen (being switched screen No.71) for No.0, the switching times 73 switching the screen of target screen No.72=' No.20 ' is maximum, second is ' No.50 ', and the 3rd is ' No.100 ', and the 4th is ' No.1 ' etc.Thus, in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, such as, each thumbnail of the setting shown in figure upper left side of Figure 12 (b) is presented at.

In the example shown in the left side of Figure 10 (b), in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, show the thumbnail of each screen from upper (for left and right then from left) successively with the order of screen ' No.20 ', screen ' No.50 ', screen ' No.100 ', screen ' No.1 '.

Such as, in illustrated example, when being switched screen No.71=No.1, the screens switch number of times 73 switching target screen No.72=' No.40 ' is maximum, and second is ' No.30 ', and the 3rd is ' No.100 ', and the 4th is ' No.11 ' etc.Thus, in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, each thumbnail of such as, on the figure being presented at Figure 12 (b) setting shown in right side.

At the example shown in the right side of Figure 10 (b), in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, show the thumbnail of each screen from upper (for left and right then from left) successively with the order of screen ' No.40 ', screen ' No.30 ', screen ' No.100 ', screen ' No.11 '.

As described above, in " each screens switch counting " pattern, the order particularly switching target candidate screen according to show screen difference and different when, can determine more suitably sequentially.Certainly, according to the order display thumbnail image determined.

Then, below, " screen often used recently " pattern is described.In addition, this pattern can regard above-mentioned " total toggle count " pattern being limited to nearest specified time limit during making object as.

In the concrete example that Fig. 8 (a) represents, " the screen data often used recently " 53 are made up of date (date) 81, switching target screen No.82, switching times 83.

The display number of times of each screen (switching target screen No.82) of every day is recorded in switching times 83.Such as, but as an example, (such as have passed through more than two week) record older to the date, performs the process of deletion from " the screen data of often use recently " 53 every day.Further, at any time, based on " recently often use screen data " 53 amount of nearest two weeks (data etc.) at this moment, add up, determine priority from this accumulated result.

That is, in this mode, based on the screen display real data of (such as nearest about two weeks) in nearest specified time limit, to the total display number of times that each screen was tried to achieve in this specified time limit, clooating sequence is determined based on this total display number of times.Further, according to the clooating sequence determined (priority), the thumbnail image of each screen is preferentially presented at thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Here, Figure 13 represents the processing example of above-mentioned steps S14, S15 in the situation that have selected " screen often used recently " pattern.

In illustrated processing example, " the screen data often used recently " 53 are extracted, the switching times (display number of times) (step S41) of (such as nearest about two weeks) each screen in specified time limit accumulative nearest from these data 53 from screens switch history data 50.Further, based on accumulated result, (step S42) is sorted to switching target screen No.82.Further, by this clooating sequence, generate the thumbnail image of the screen that each switching target screen No.82 represents, carry out successively arranging (step S43) from the beginning of thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Figure 14 (a) represents the schematic diagram of this accumulative process and sequence.

At the figure upper left side of Figure 14 (a), represent the concrete example of " the screen data often used recently " 53.Thus, as shown in the figure, be made up of date (date) 81, switching target screen No.82 and switching times 83.In addition, can think that this is the real data of the switching times (display number of times) of each screen representing every day in nearest specified time limit.

In addition, on the figure of Figure 14 (a), right side represents the above-mentioned accumulated result (the total display number of times in specified time limit) based on this real data.These accumulated result data 53 ' such as shown in the figure, are made up of total switching times 83 ' and switching target screen No.82 '.

In addition, in Figure 14 (a), particularly represent the accumulative schematic diagram that screen ' No.100 ' is associated.That is, in illustrated example, switch the switching times 83 (65,10,55) that target screen No.82 obtains the total data of ' No.100 ', calculate their aggregate value (65+10+55=130).Further, this aggregate value (=130) is stored in above-mentioned total switching times 83 '.Certainly, ' No.100 ' is stored in above-mentioned switching target screen No.82 ' correspondingly as illustrated.

For example described above accumulative process is performed to each screen.Further, finally, each record of accumulated result data 53 ' is sorted with the order (with the order that the total frequency of utilization in specified time limit is high) amounting to switching times more than 83 '.Thus, the state shown in right side on the figure that result data 53 ' is Figure 14 (a) is amounted to.In illustrated example, the total switching times 83 ' switching the screen of target screen No.82 '=' No.100 ' is maximum, and second is ' No.20 ' etc.

Further, based on above-mentioned sorted accumulated result data 53 ', in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, the thumbnail image of each screen is shown.That is, with reference to the accumulated result data 53 ' after above-mentioned sequence, by this clooating sequence, generate the thumbnail image switching the screen that target screen No.82 ' represents, arrange successively from the beginning of thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Thus, such as on the figure of Figure 14 (a) right side represent the example of accumulated result data 53 ', the displaying contents of thumbnail image guide look display field 42 is as shown in Figure 14 (b).

That is, from the screen that nearest display number of times is more, show this thumbnail successively, therefore user uprises from being presented at more upper thumbnail image the possibility carrying out selecting.In other words, above-mentioned clooating sequence can be made more suitable.

Then, below, " the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " pattern is described.

In the concrete example shown in Fig. 8 (b), " the screen candidate display data linked with a upper picture " 54 by a upper picture screen No.91, be switched screen No.92, switch target screen No.93 and switching times 94 is formed.

Here, can think that above-mentioned " each screens switch counting " pattern take into account the screen shown.On the other hand, in " the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " pattern, not only consider the screen shown, the screen of display before also contemplating this.

Namely, in above-mentioned " the screen candidate display data linked with a upper picture " 54, the number of times switching target screen No.93 with the form of " a upper picture screen No.91 → be switched screen No.92 → switching target screen No.93 " display is stored in switching times 94.

Such as, when the example of Figure 16 (a) described later, such as, it is 100 times with the switching times 94 of the situation of " No.1 → No.10 → No.20 " such form display screen No.20.On the other hand, such as with the switching times 94 of the situation of " No.100 → No.10 → No.20 " such form display screen No.20 for once.Such as, in such a situation, the determination realizing priority that this pattern (" the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " pattern) can be more suitable than above-mentioned " each screens switch counting " pattern.

In addition, switch target screen No.92 and be equivalent to the above-mentioned screen shown.

In this pattern, the history data about above-mentioned steps S18 when from the screens switch shown arbitrarily to other screen arbitrary adds process, as aftermentioned.

Using the identification id of the screen of the switching target in the identification id of the screen shown before the screen shown, the identification id of screen shown and above-mentioned steps S17 as search key, retrieve this record.Corresponding record is a picture screen No.91 on this, is switched screen No.92 and switches the target screen No.93 record identical with above-mentioned search key.Further, the switching times 94+1 of this record is made to increase progressively.

Here, Figure 15 represents the processing example of step S14, S15 in the situation that have selected " the screen candidate display linked with a upper picture " pattern.

In addition, when this example, the identification id of the screen shown before the screen shown (being denoted as " the screen numbering before shown ") is stored in addition in the storage area of not shown regulation etc.Further, such as, when utilizing above-mentioned steps S17 from the screens switch shown to other screen, the identification id of the screen this shown is treated to new above-mentioned " the screen numbering before shown ".

In illustrated processing example, first, " the screen candidate display data linked with a upper picture " 54 (step S51) are extracted from screens switch history data 50.Then, from each record of these extraction data 54, be the screen that showing and the record that a upper picture screen No.91 is above-mentioned " the screen numbering before shown " all extracts by being switched screen No.92.Further, the record of this extraction is carried out sorting (step S52) with the order of switching times more than 94 (data that frequency of utilization is high).Further, by this clooating sequence, generate the thumbnail image switching the screen that target screen No.93 represents, carry out successively arranging (step S53) from the beginning of thumbnail image guide look display field 42.

Here, Figure 16 (a) represents an example of above-mentioned ranking results.

In addition, in Figure 16 (a), (for convenience of description) illustrates a multiple upper picture screen No.91, but in above-mentioned steps S52, in fact only extracts any one (corresponding with current above-mentioned " screen shown is numbered " before) sort.

Even if be switched screen No.92 identical (No.10) shown in illustrated example, if a upper picture screen No.91 difference (No.1, No.5, No.100), then the ranking results recording (particularly switching target screen No.93) is different.Certainly, in this example, under any circumstance, all sort with the order of switching times more than 94.

Further, the indication example of the thumbnail image guide look display field 42 that a upper picture screen No.91 is corresponding with clooating sequence when being No.1 has been shown in Figure 16 (b).

Like this, not only consider the screen shown, and the screen of display before considering carries out order and determines, can determine more suitably priority.

In addition, the priority of the handoff candidate screen corresponding to above-mentioned " screen shown+show before screen (a upper picture) " determines an example of the priority defining method of the handoff candidate screen also can regarded as corresponding to " screen of the screen shown+display in the past ".Namely, above-mentioned " screen of display before this " is not limited to a picture, also can comprise the picture (above go up a picture) of display in addition, more more before the picture (a upper picture) etc. (these being set to " the more than one screen shown before " etc.) of display.

In any case, owing to such as producing such situation such as visible tendency above-mentioned as follows according to the real data in past, therefore special this pattern in such a case can play outstanding effect.

When carrying out picture switching with the order of ' No.10 ' → ' No.2 ' → ' No.8 ' (' No.8 ' is the screen shown), the next target screen that switches is that the situation of ' No.20 ' is maximum.

When carrying out picture switching with the order of ' No.5 ' → ' No.2 ' → ' No.8 ' (' No.8 ' is the screen shown), the next target screen that switches is that the situation of ' No.11 ' is maximum.

Here, above-mentioned each embodiment all generates or shows thumbnail image, but is not limited to this example.Such as, thumbnail image is difficult to viewing, even if therefore likely see that display is also difficult to differentiate which is the thumbnail image of desired screen than original image certainly.Thus, consider to keep screen picture display, but in this situation, once cannot show multiple screen picture (substantially once can only show).

Thus, here, using time-sharing format display as multiple screen pictures (such as each display several seconds) of handoff candidate.Certainly, in this situation, owing to also showing according to above-mentioned clooating sequence, the display of therefore passing by screen is often displayed by priority.Thus, from just show the possibility raising of the screen desired by user at short notice.Further, if the moment of the screen of user desired by display carries out the operation specified, then determine that this screen is screens switch target, and switch to this screen.

" starting to automatically switch " switch 43 shown in above-mentioned Fig. 6 for indicating the switch of such display form for user.

Process during operation " start automatically switch " switch 43 as shown in figure 17.

In addition, the sequence process of the selection of above-mentioned pattern and the record (particularly switching target screen numbering) corresponding to pattern of selection has at this moment been carried out.In addition, further, also can be and to generate according to ranking results and to show the state of thumbnail image.If such as user's viewing thumbnail is felt to be difficult to differentiate, then operate " starting to automatically switch " switch 43.Certainly, this is an example.

If operation " start automatically switch " switch 43 (step S61 is yes), then based on above-mentioned ranking results (priority), (start is the beginning screen of clooating sequence to display display object screen; The screen that display number of times is maximum), and start timing (step S62).In addition, timer is preset to the time-out time (such as about the several seconds) of regulation.

And, if user carries out predetermined operation (touch on picture any one etc.) (step S63 is yes) before the timer expires, then be defined as by the screen at this moment shown switching target, put rules into practice process (step S64).Predetermined processing refers to that such as timer stops, and the display of switching successively of screen stops, and is equivalent to the process etc. of above-mentioned steps S18.

On the other hand, when timer expiry (step S63 is no), determine next display object screen (step S65) according to above-mentioned clooating sequence, be back to the process of step S62.

The above embodiments show an example, but are not limited to this example.Such as, screens switch window 40 is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 6, such as, also can be the mode not having above-mentioned model selection hurdle 41.That is, also can be predefined pattern and user cannot the mode of preference pattern.Or, also can there is the window of model selection in addition and user specifies in advance and selects the mode of arbitrary patterns on model selection window.In these examples, if the special switch that user's function screen switches, then perform above-mentioned sequence process etc. with predetermined (or presetting) pattern, in thumbnail image guide look display field 42, show thumbnail image (or utilize the process of Figure 17 to show successively switch target candidate screen) according to this ranking results.

In any case, preference pattern one by one when not needing special switch (not shown) that switch at each function screen.

Or, select arbitrary pattern in four kinds of patterns above-mentioned from an above-mentioned example, but be not limited to this example, such as, also can be the mode selecting arbitrary patterns from the pattern two or more arbitrarily four kinds.

In addition, by mentioned earlier, screens switch history data 50 is not limited to the example shown in Fig. 7 (a), also only can store the data that the pattern that uses in mode is associated.Such as, when only use " total toggle count " pattern of fixing, screens switch history data 50 also can be only made up of " amounting to toggle count pattern data " 51.

In addition, " renewal (+1 increases progressively) of switching times " of such as above-mentioned steps S18 process is not limited to only to upgrade the data that the pattern at this moment selected is associated, and also can upgrade the data that other pattern is associated.Such as, in " total toggle count " pattern, in an above-mentioned example, only have updated switching times 62, but be not limited to this example, such as, also can upgrade switching times 73, switching times 83, switching times 94.

In addition, the initial value of above-mentioned switching times 62, switching times 73, switching times 83, switching times 94 (do not carry out especially below distinguishing, be denoted as " switching times "), such as, be ' 0 ', but be not limited to this example.The initial value of switching times also can be set as the arbitrary value of more than 1 by user.

Or the initial value of switching times can be set as value equal without exception in all recording, and also can be set as values different separately.When particularly bringing into use, such as, switching times in all records is such as ' 0 ', therefore cannot sort in fact.Thus, by the initial value of the switching times by the record such as thought corresponding to the screen that frequency of utilization is high, user is also set as that higher value solves such problem.

Or, for each different value of setting as the example of the initial value of above-mentioned switching times, the process of above-mentioned steps S18 also can not be performed.That is, in this situation, not based on real data, but with the order show candidate screen (or its thumbnail) that user determines.

Or, also can not carry out the display of thumbnail or operation and " to start to automatically switch " switch 43, but perform the process shown in Figure 17 at once after operating above-mentioned special switch.Certainly, in this situation, pre-determine or setting arbitrary patterns, perform the sequence process that this pattern is corresponding.
