Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that some check items are lost when it is necessary to check a large number of check items on a computer screen. SOLUTION: The dialog of the designation of a display range and the designation of a color is displayed on a screen (S3), the designation of a range (X, Y coordinates) for each check item by an operator or the like is obtained for the display of the dialog (S4), the designation of the back color of the item range is obtained (S5), the designation of the range and the designation of the back color is repeatedly operated for all the items (S6), and when the designation processing is ended, a back color table for each range is prepared and preserved (S7). Thus, when the operator switches the check item, the back color corresponding to the item is read from the table, and the check item range is displayed in the color so that the recognition of the check items can be ensured and simplified. Also, the retrieval of the check items can be operated according to the setting of a book mark.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method of checking screen data for checking data using a screen of a computer, and more particularly to a method of checking input items and undetermined items in table data and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art To input and check a large amount of data such as equipment data in a power system monitoring system,
An application of a computer is started, and an operator inputs and checks data by item on a computer screen.

In this data input / check screen,
The current input target item and the current position are displayed by a cursor, or the ruled line of the table is displayed in a thick frame so that the operator can recognize it. FIG. 4 shows a screen example of Windows (registered trademark) software, in which input items are indicated by thick frames.

When there are a large number of items input on the screen or items to be checked, each character string (item) to be checked can be checked using a "search" function. It is possible to replace the character string.

[0005]

In the conventional method of displaying input items, the operator recognizes which item has focus when switching windows on the screen and performing work or temporarily leaving the seat. Sometimes it takes time to do. In particular, on a screen with a high resolution or a small item area, the cursor display is also small, making it difficult to visually recognize the cursor and sometimes losing the cursor.

As a method of solving this problem, the present application proposes a method of designating the range and the background color for each input item in advance, and switching and displaying the background color for each input item to make the recognition of the item reliable and easy. The applicant has already proposed (JP-A-11-327720).

[0007] However, there is no check for input items or unconfirmed items that clarifies the check items.
There was a problem that a check was forgotten or a mistake occurred. In particular,
In spreadsheet software and the like, since there are many changes and undetermined parts, the check work takes time, and errors in the check and correction work increase.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of checking screen data in which check items can be surely and easily recognized.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a check color is displayed in a different color for each check item, and a bookmark search is included in the check item search function, so that the position of the check item can be reliably and easily recognized. It is made possible and is characterized by the following method.

[0010] In a screen data checking method in which a large number of data items are displayed on a computer screen and an operator checks input items and undetermined items among the data items, a back color is specified for each screen range of each of the check items. A table is created in advance, and when an operator switches a check item, a back color corresponding to the check item is read from the table and the check item range is displayed in color.

Further, the check item is searched by setting a bookmark.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a processing procedure for creating a check screen showing an embodiment of the present invention. In order to clarify the check items on the screen, a back color at a check item position is changed. A screen different from that of the item is obtained.

First, a back color icon is displayed on the screen (S1), and an operator or the like is instructed whether or not to display the back color (S2).

When displaying a back color, a dialog for specifying a check item range and specifying a color is displayed (S
3) The operator specifies the range (X, Y coordinates) for each item by the operator or the like on the dialog display (S4), and obtains the specification of the back color of the item range (S5). In the range specification, an operator or the like specifies a check item position with a mouse or the like, and thereby automatically obtains coordinate position data of the check item display, thereby facilitating the specification. Further, the color designation is facilitated by selecting from various colors displayed on the dialog display screen with a mouse or the like.

These range designation and back color designation are repeated for all check items (S6), and when this designation process is completed, a back color table for each range is created and stored (S7).

The table created by the above processing is
For example, as shown in the following table, coordinate data for determining a range for each check item and color data of a designated back color are stored.

[0017]

[Table 1]

When the check item is switched, the data input application refers to the above table, reads out the color data corresponding to the check item position, and displays the background color at the position.

For example, on the check screen shown in FIG. 2, when the check item is in the range of A, the portion of A is displayed in a different background color from the other item ranges.
An operator or the like can recognize that the part A is a current check item.

Note that the background color in the embodiment is not limited to the minimum range of the check item, but the background color can be designated for each check item row or column.

Further, when there are many items to be checked, the search can be further facilitated by including a search for a bookmark in the "search" function of each character string (item) to be checked. This bookmark process
As shown in FIG. 3, at the start of the check, the current coordinates of the cursor are acquired (S10), and it is determined whether or not the current coordinates have been bookmark set (S11). The focus is moved to the bookmark when the coordinates to be set as a bookmark are extracted by repeating these processes (S12) (S12).
13). Thus, a large number of check items can be displayed in the order of their coordinates, and the check items can be displayed for each back color.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the check item is displayed in a different color for each check item, and the search function of the check item includes a bookmark search. Easy to recognize.

Specifically, (1) even when working in a different window or leaving the seat, it is possible to reliably and easily recognize which check item has focus by color display.

(2) Even when the high-resolution screen or item becomes smaller and the cursor becomes smaller, the back color of the check item is changed, so that it is possible to easily and easily recognize which item has the cursor. .

(3) Even if the cursor is lost due to a long data input operation, the cursor position can be easily recognized because the back color of the item has been changed.
