Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

FIG. 6 shows the flow of processing from generating a new screen transition diagram in which internal definition information and external identification information are associated with each other and displaying it on the screen based on the screen transition information input from the input device 7. It is a flowchart shown.

First, in step 100, the screen transition processing unit 4 acquires predetermined configuration information and transition information included in the input screen transition information, and in the subsequent step 101, the configuration information included in the input screen transition information It is determined whether the internal definition information and the external identification information or the corresponding area information can be associated with each other. If the association is possible, the process proceeds to step 102, and if not, the process proceeds to step 103. move on.

In step 102, the configuration information included in the input screen transition information and the information included in the transition information are stored in the configuration information storage unit 2 and the transition information storage unit 3 in association with each other. For example, as shown in the configuration information storage unit 2 and the transition information storage unit 3 in FIG. 4, “GamenjyutyuuMenu” defined as internal definition information is “order menu screen” as external identification information and its screen area. The coordinates at the upper left of the screen are (10, 10) and the coordinates at the lower right are (200, 100).

Further, this screen includes “ButtomjutyuuTouroku” and “ButtomjutyuuTouroku” defined as internal definition information.
jytyuuKensaku ", and these are" order registration "and" order search "as external identification information.
Are identified as follows. Their coordinate information is (10, 1
0), (200,100), and (50,70), (450, 90)
It indicates that the coordinate information is "Gamenjyuty
The same applies to “uuTouroku”, and the screen included in the input screen transition information and the components constituting the screen are repeatedly stored.

In step 103, when the configuration information included in the input screen transition information and the respective information included in the transition information are not associated with each other, the input of information adapted to the unassociated information is performed. It is performed from a keyboard or the like.

For example, in step 101, the screen definition information “GamenJyu
When it is determined that the external identification information corresponding to “tyuuMenu” has not been input, the corresponding external identification information “screen order menu” is input from the connected keyboard to perform the correspondence. The associated information is also reflected in other applicable configuration information and transition information.

When the internal definition information or the external identification information cannot be associated with each other because of the lack of setting, etc., the corresponding internal definition information or external identification information is input. At this time, the input of the internal definition information or the external identification information is performed by designating the coordinates in the display area of the corresponding information with a pointing device such as a mouse. Then, internal definition information or external identification information corresponding to the input coordinates is specified.

The transition of each screen transition is performed by designating the coordinates in the display area of the screen with a pointing device such as a mouse. When the coordinates in the display area of the component, which is the transition source component of each screen transition, are designated by a pointing device such as a mouse, the input control means automatically converts the information into the corresponding screen name and component name and passes the information. So store that information.

Further, when the coordinates in the display area of the transition destination screen are designated by a pointing device such as a mouse at the time of input as described above, the input control means automatically assigns the name of the transition destination screen to the corresponding screen name. Since the information is converted and passed, the information is stored.

The input event name is stored in the transition event. The coordinates of the root of the arrow are positioned within the display area of the transition source part specified by the transition source part definition information, and the coordinates of the tip of the arrow are the display area of the transition destination screen specified by the transition destination screen definition information. And input the identification information of the transition event corresponding to the associated field.

In step 104, step 103
Are sequentially repeated until the association is completed, and when the association is completed, the associated configuration information and transition information are stored in the configuration information storage unit 2 and the The information is stored in the information storage unit 3.

In step 105, it is determined whether or not the processing has been completed for all the information on the configuration information and the transition information included in the input screen transition information. Proceed to Step 106, otherwise, Step 100 to Step 10
Step 2 is repeated.

In step 106, the screen transition diagram generation 5 uses the configuration information and the transition information stored in the configuration information storage unit 2 and the transition information storage unit 3 to store the associated internal definition information and external identification information, respectively. Generate a new screen transition diagram according to the corresponding area information, and
In step 7, the output control unit 6 outputs the new screen transition diagram generated in step 106.

FIG. 7 shows a process of acquiring the configuration information and the transition information from the input screen transition information and creating a new screen transition diagram based on the associated internal definition information and external identification information based on the transition information. It is a flowchart which shows a flow.

In step 110, the configuration information storage unit 21
First, from the configuration information and transition information stored in the transition information storage unit 22, configuration information regarding a screen on which a new screen transition diagram is to be generated is read.

In step 111, it is determined whether or not the read configuration information on the screen includes the configuration information on the parts. If the configuration information is included, the process proceeds to step 112; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 113.

In step 112, component configuration information relating to the screen is extracted. Here, for example, the screen definition information “GamenjyutyuuMen
u ”and screen identification information“ Order menu screen ”, and component definition information“ ButtomjyutyuuTouroku ”and“ ButtomjyutyuuKensak ”as component configuration information corresponding to the screen area information
u ”, the part identification information“ order registration ”,“ order search ”, and the part area information are respectively extracted.

In step 113, it is determined whether or not there is corresponding transition information. If there is corresponding transition information, the process proceeds to step 114, and if not, the process proceeds to step 117. Here, it is determined whether the screen configuration information does not include a component in its own screen and there is a transition to another screen.

In step 114, transition information corresponding to the screen or the screen and components included in the screen is extracted. Here, transition information corresponding to the screen definition information and the component regular information stored in the configuration information storage unit 2 is extracted from the transition information storage unit 3. For example, as the transition information regarding the screen definition information "GamenjyutyuuMenu", the transition source screen definition information "GamenjyutyuuMenu", the transition source part definition information "ButtomjyutyuuToroku", the transition destination screen definition information "GamenjyutyuuTouroku", and the transition event information "Click
Are extracted, and in step 115, transition information corresponding to the extracted configuration information on each screen and component is associated.

At step 116, it is determined whether or not the association for all transitions on the target screen has been completed. If completed, the process proceeds to step 117, otherwise, the process returns to step 110, and the process returns to step 110. The processing up to step 116 is repeated.

In step 117, it is determined whether or not the configuration information and the transition information on the target screen or the parts constituting the screen have been completed, and the processing is performed until all the information on the screen transition information is stored in the storage unit. Continue.

In step 118, a display area is allocated in order to appropriately arrange area information corresponding to the configuration information in which the internal definition information and the external identification information are associated with each other.

Here, the layout of the display area of the screen and the component is determined so that the abstract symbols representing the screen and the component are arranged at appropriate places on the screen transition diagram to be output. At this time, when a plurality of screens exist in the same display area, predetermined area information and transition status are determined based on each area information on the associated internal definition information and external identification information so that the display areas do not overlap. Are assigned.

That is, when there are overlapping screens in the same display area, one of the screens is shifted in a predetermined direction, for example, the X-axis (or Y-axis) direction, and the coordinate value of the display area is determined. . Thereafter, the coordinate values after the adjustment are stored in a display area column corresponding to each screen or component. Here, it is simply shifted in the X-axis (or Y-axis) direction and arranged based on each piece of coordinate information so that the screens do not overlap, and new internal definition information and external identification information are displayed near each other. Generate a screen transition diagram.

In step 119, it is determined whether or not the processing for arranging the corresponding internal definition information and external identification information based on the area information has been completed. The information and the external identification information are associated with each other, and a process of outputting a new screen transition diagram in a state where they can be identified is performed. If not, the processes of steps 110 to 118 are repeated.

According to the above-described processing, the above-described functions are performed in accordance with FIG.
