2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, client / server systems using personal computers have been widely used.
In many client / server systems, a system is employed in which a screen for identifying an individual is provided to ensure security, and a business processing program is operated after authenticating the individual. In such a conventional client / server system, when it is desired to change a screen according to an attribute of an individual (for example, gender, age or date of birth, etc.), a plurality of screens are prepared in a memory in a personal computer. There are many systems of a system of controlling by calling one of them.

For example, in the screen display method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-95821, information on a standard screen provided by a business system (screen format file) is provided so that an interactive screen corresponding to a user can be displayed. A personalized screen format file in which the user accumulates information on alternative screens for user-defined standard screens, respectively. When displaying the standard screens, the alternative screens are displayed based on the input user ID. By switching to the display, the operation environment specified for each user can be easily constructed. First, a user ID for uniquely identifying a user is obtained. When a standard screen display request is received from the business system, an alternative screen pointer is obtained from the interactive screen format file, and the pointer and the user ID are obtained. Then, the format information of the alternative screen is extracted from the personalized interactive screen format file based on the above, and the standard screen is replaced with the alternative screen and displayed.

[0004]

However, according to the screen display method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-95821,
Since the screen format information for each individual must be defined and registered in advance as substitute screen information for each individual, the following problems exist. (1) When it is desired to change the screen according to the personal attribute, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of screens determined for each individual. (2) For a system administrator, when a screen is changed, it is necessary to change a plurality of screens, which increases the number of management steps. (3) It is necessary to store a plurality of screens determined for each individual and a common program for displaying those screens in the memory of the personal computer, and a large amount of hardware resources such as the memory capacity of the personal computer are required. Therefore, operational maintenance costs also increase.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to control a GUI screen for various business processes in a single and efficient manner in a business processing system having a screen for identifying an individual. It is an object of the present invention to provide a screen display method using personal attribute information and a storage medium storing the program, which can reduce the number of steps for developing and managing the program, reduce the memory capacity, and reduce the operation and maintenance cost. .

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a screen display method using personal attribute information according to the present invention compares a password in personal attribute information with a password input by a user of a business processing system. Personal authentication is performed, personal attribute information of the authenticated user is obtained from the personal ID and password of the user, and a parameter value for determining a processing condition previously set in the screen item control table based on the personal attribute information is obtained. Display / display of each data item set as standard screen with determined and determined parameter values
Control hiding. In the screen display method of the present invention,
It comprises a server device for storing a screen item control table and a personal attribute information table, and a client device equipped with various business processing programs having a GUI screen. Enter personal attribute information such as Also,
The job processing program of the client device has a GUI screen that is controlled singly. This GUI screen has all the items as one screen definition information, and controls the display / non-display of the items based on the personal attribute information obtained from the personal authentication data. It is also possible to control to change the size of the characters on the screen according to the age of the personal attribute information. With this method, display items that change depending on personal attribute information can be handled with the same screen definition information, so that program development and reduction in the number of steps for maintaining and managing programs can be achieved. Further, each step of the above method is converted into a program, and the converted program is stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The invention can be realized.

(Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment,
In the questionnaire system, the case where the display screen is changed using the two attribute information of the respondent's age and gender has been described, but the attribute information of the operator's position (manager, section manager, etc.) is used in a similar processing method. Then, it is also possible to display and control the screen for the manager (post) and the screen for the person in charge in one business processing system (for example, the attendance and attendance management system) (second embodiment). In this case, a one-month history screen in which the attendance time is recorded is displayed, and the person in charge displays the screen as it is recorded (including missing records due to business trips, etc.). Enters his / her time to work in the blank box (recorded in different colors)
Write to memory. Next, a history screen without blanks is displayed to the administrator, and it is determined whether or not the time when the color of the character is different is correct, and the determination of OK or NO is input in the approval item column and returned to the person in charge. . Therefore, in the screen for the person in charge and the screen for the administrator, the history screen includes a blank space, or
There is a difference in whether the time is input in a different color or whether an approval item column is included.

(Third Embodiment) As a third embodiment of the present invention, the present invention can be applied to a welfare business application screen. In a system such as a welfare-related business system in which the elderly touches the screen, a user-friendly system such as automatically changing the font size of the screen according to the age of the operator can be provided. In other words, as described above, for applicants aged 65 or older, welfare services may be changed depending on the method of setting the font size to 14 or more, and differences in the attribute information such as age, gender, family circumstances, income, and residence. Since the types of the attribute information differ, a method of controlling the screen display to change according to the difference in the attribute information is considered.

A program for executing the screen display method according to the present invention is provided as a function of an application program on a recording medium such as a floppy disk. More specifically, the processing flow shown in FIG. 8 is converted into a program, and the converted program is stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM.
