FIG. 2 is a view showing an operation screen (desktop screen) of the apparatus, FIG. 3 is a view showing an operation screen when the connection of the apparatus is designated, and FIG. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, a large number of icons corresponding to application software and files are arranged on the operation screen (desktop screen) of the apparatus. By selecting these icons with a mouse, desired icons can be obtained. Can execute application software and files.

Here, "A. bun", "B. hy"
o "," C. wak "
When these operations are performed continuously, the following operation is performed. "A. bun" is a sentence and "B. hyo"
Is a table, and “C.wak” is a worksheet file created by application software corresponding to each.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, icons 21, 22, and 23 corresponding to the three files are selected by a mouse and are superimposed in the order of continuous execution. In this case, the icon of the file to be executed first is the lowest, and the icons of the other files are superimposed thereon in the order of execution. In this example, "A. bun" →
The order is “B. hyo” → “C. Wak”.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3, an area 24 surrounding the superimposed icons 21, 22, 23 is designated, and one of the icons in the designated area 24 is selected with a mouse, and Click the right button. As a result, a pull-down menu 25 is displayed. The pull-down menu 25 has items such as “combination” and “uncombination”. When the “combination” item is selected, the icon 26 of the file “X.con” is changed to the icons 21, 22, and 22. 23 is displayed instead of 23. When this icon 26 is clicked, the three files are arranged in the specified order (“A. bun” → “B. Hyo”).
(In the order of “C.wak”).

As shown in FIG. 4, when the icon 26 for continuous execution is displayed and this icon 26 is selected and the right button of the mouse is clicked, a pull-down menu 25 is displayed. When an item such as “uncouple” in the pull-down menu 25 is selected, the file is unlinked, and the icons 21, 22, and 23 are displayed again instead of the icon 26. Thus, the three files can be independently executed by selecting the icons 21, 22, and 23 with the mouse.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration of each table provided in the present apparatus. FIG. 5 (a) is a file information table T1, FIG. 5 (b) is an icon image information table T2, and FIG. Indicates the configuration of the continuous execution file information table T3.

The file information table T1 is a table that stores information about each file that can be executed independently. As shown in FIG. 5A, "file name", "file type", "file storage location"","size",
It has items such as “update date and time” and “icon number”, and stores information corresponding to each item.

In this example, the above-mentioned "A. bun"
Three files such as “B.hyo” and “C.wak” and information about a file such as “X.con” are stored. Among them, “A. bun” and “B.h”
“yo” and “C.wak” are created by corresponding application software, and “X.co.
"n" is a combination of these three files, and the detailed information is shown in FIG. 5 (c). Icons are respectively associated with these files, and information on the icons is shown in FIG. 5B.

The icon image information table T2 is a table storing information on each icon, and is shown in FIG.
, "Icon number", "storage location",
It has items such as “icon name”, and stores information corresponding to each item. In this example, “1001”, “1003”, “1004” of “Icon No.”
Are icons 21 and 2 in FIGS. 2 to 4.
2, 23 are supported. Further, the icon indicated by “2000” of “Icon No.” corresponds to the icon 26 for continuous execution in FIG. 3 or FIG.

The continuous execution file information table T3 is a table in which information on each continuous execution file is stored. As shown in FIG. 5C, "continuous execution file name", "continuous execution file type", "continuous execution file type" Execution icon No. "," execution order "," file name to be executed ",
It has items such as “execution definition” and “execution result”, and information corresponding to each item is stored. In this example, as information on a continuous execution file such as “X.con”, “A. bun” → “B.hyo” → “C.
It is shown that they are executed continuously in the order of “wak”.

The continuous execution file information table T3
In the item of “execution definition”, any one of “update input”, “automatic update”, and “conditional execution” is set for each file to be continuously executed.

The "update input" is, for example, a text or data update input operation. This means that, for example, when files such as A, B, and C are successively executed, the files are executed in the specified order, such as A → B → C, and the execution results of the files are not reflected in other files. The default is set to “update input”, and the other “automatic update” and “conditional execution” are appropriately set by the user by a predetermined operation.

The "automatic update" is to automatically perform an update operation based on the execution result of a file that has already been executed. That is, for example, when files such as A, B, and C are continuously executed, B is executed according to the execution result of A, and C is executed according to the execution result of B.

"Conditional execution" is to execute the next file continuously when the execution result of the file satisfies a preset condition. That is, for example, A,
When files such as B and C are executed continuously,
B when the execution result of A satisfies a preset condition
Is executed, and when the execution result of B satisfies a preset condition, C is executed.

The continuous execution file information table T3
In the "Execution result" item in the table, "Normal" is displayed as the execution result of the file for each file to be continuously executed
Or, "abnormal" is set. “Normal” indicates that the file was successfully executed, and “abnormal” indicates that the file was not executed correctly.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the specific contents of each file to be continuously executed, and FIG.
n, “b. hyo” in the same figure, and “C. wak” in the same figure, FIG.

"A. bun", "B. hyo", "C.
The three files such as “wak” can be executed independently of each other, but by superimposing the icons as described above, “A. bun” → “B.hyo” →
These files can be successively executed in a specified order, such as “C. wak”. that time,
For example, while executing the file “A.
When date data such as "date" is detected, "B.hy"
o, and a condition such as executing a file of “C. wak” when an amount of data of “10 million” or more is detected during execution of a file of “B. hyo”. It is also possible to execute each file successively with.

Next, the operation of the present apparatus will be described.

Here, the processing operations of (a) file connection, (b) file execution, and (c) file connection release will be described separately.

(A) At the time of file connection FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing operation at the time of file connection in the present apparatus.

When a plurality of files are continuously executed, an operation corresponding to each file to be continuously executed among icons displayed on the operation screen of the apparatus is performed by a user as an operation performed by the user. Are superimposed in the order in which they are to be executed continuously (step A11). That is, for example, “A. bun”, “B.
In a case where three files such as "yo" and "C. wak" are continuously executed, as shown in FIG. 2, the icons 21, 22, and 23 corresponding to the respective files are superimposed while being selected with a mouse. In this case, "A. bun" →
If continuous execution is performed in the order of “B. hyo” → “C. Wak”, the “A. bun” icon 21 is placed at the bottom, and the “B. hyo” icon 22
The icon 23 of “C. wak” is superimposed.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3, an area 24 surrounding the superimposed icons 21, 22, and 23 is designated (step A12), and one of the icons in the designated area 24 is selected with a mouse. (Step A13)
The item of "combination" in the pull-down menu 25 displayed by operating the right button of the mouse is selected (step A14).

As described above, when the user performs an operation such as superimposing the icons of the respective files in the order of continuous execution and instructing the "combination", the CPU 11 executes the following processing.

That is, first, the corresponding files are detected in order from the icon 21 below the superimposed icons 21, 22, 23, and the information of these files is extracted from the file information table T1 and the continuous execution file information is extracted. It is recorded in the corresponding item in the table T3 (steps A15 to A17). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5C, information of “execution order” and “file name to be executed” is recorded in the continuous execution file information table T3.

Next, a process of creating a continuous execution file is executed (step A18). FIG. 8 shows the process of creating the continuous execution file.

FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing the process of creating a continuous execution file executed in step A18.

In the process of creating a continuous execution file, first, information on “continuous execution file name”, “type of continuous execution file”, and “continuous execution icon No.” is used as information of the continuous execution file. This is set in the corresponding item of the table T3 (step B11), and a default value is set in the item of "execution definition" (step B12). In this case, there are three "execution definitions" such as "update input", "automatic update", and "conditional execution", of which "update input" is set as a default value.

When the continuous execution file information is set in the continuous execution file information table T3, the setting information at that time is displayed on a predetermined screen (step B13). Here, for example, when an instruction to correct the information of the continuous execution file is given by pressing a “correction button” provided on the screen (Yes in step B14), an unillustrated correction input screen is displayed. Then, a part of the information of the continuous executable file can be corrected (step B1).
5).

This correction work is particularly for changing the information of "execution definition". That is, it is necessary to change the “update input” set as the default value to “automatic update” or “conditional execution”. In this case, if the change is to “conditional execution”, the condition can also be input here.

As the input of the condition, FIG.
As shown in (b) and (c), for example, when date data such as “August 5” is detected during execution of the file “A. bun”, the file “B.
During the execution of the file “B.
"C. wak" when the amount data of "10,000" or more is detected
Is executed, the date data such as “August 5” is used as a condition for the file “A. bun”, and the file “100” is used for the file “B.
It is assumed that the price is set by a key input operation on a condition input screen (not shown) under the condition of the amount data such as "0000".

As described above, when the information of the continuous execution file associated with the user's icon superimposing operation is stored in the continuous execution file information table T3, the file name, file type, icon NO. . After information such as is extracted and registered in the file information table T1 (step B16), the processing here ends.

Returning to FIG. 7, when the creation of the continuous execution file is completed in step A18, the icon superimposed by the user is erased from the operation screen (step A18).
19), the icon of the created continuous execution file is displayed instead (step A20). The icon of the continuous execution file is the icon 26 in FIG. 3, and here corresponds to a file such as “X.con”.

(B) At the time of executing a file FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing operation at the time of executing a file in the present apparatus.

When the continuous execution file is executed, as an operation performed by the user, the icon of the continuous execution file displayed on the operation screen is selected with the mouse and the left mouse button is clicked (step C1).
1). Along with such an operation, the CPU 11 executes the following processing.

That is, first, the file information table T
From 1, the file information of the icon of the selected continuous execution file is extracted (step C12). And
The default of the storage location is displayed (step C1
3).

More specifically, when the icon 26 in FIG. 3 is selected, the file information table T1 shown in FIG. 5A is searched, and a continuous "X.con" The information of the executable file is extracted. The location where the continuous execution file is stored is set to “a: / n / h / k /” by default, and in step C13, “a: / n / h / k /” indicating this storage location is used. Is displayed.

Here, when an instruction to change the location where the execution result of the continuous execution file is stored is given by pressing a “change button” provided on the screen (Yes in step C14), another The storage location can be arbitrarily input (step C15).

Next, the continuous execution file information table T3
Are searched for files to be subjected to continuous execution defined in the continuous execution file (step C16), and detailed information of these files is extracted from the file information table T1 (step C17). In the example of FIG. 5C, “A.b” is added to the continuous execution file information table T3.
Since the three files “un”, “B.hyo”, and “C.wak” are registered as targets for continuous execution, in step C17, “A.bun” is read from the file information table T1 in FIG. "," B. hyo "," C. w.
The detailed information of each file of “ak” is extracted.

As described above, when the detailed information of each file to be continuously executed is extracted, these files are executed in the designated order (step C18). In the above example, “A. bun” → “B.hyo” → “C.w”
ak ”. For details, first, "A. bu
The word processing software linked to the file “n” is activated, and the contents of the file are displayed on the screen under the word processing software. Subsequently, spreadsheet software linked to the file "B. hyo" is activated, and the contents of the file are displayed on the screen under the spreadsheet software. Subsequently, worksheet software linked to the file “C. wak” is activated, and the contents of the file are displayed on the screen under the worksheet software.

Here, it is determined for each file whether or not the content set in the “execution definition” of the continuous execution file information table T3 during the execution is satisfied (step C1).
9).

If the setting contents of "execution definition" are satisfied (Yes in step C19), it is determined whether or not the execution processing of the file has been completed normally (step C20). If the operation is normally completed (Ye in step C20)
s), that effect is recorded in the “execution result” (step C)
21). If there is another file to be executed (Yes in step C22), the process returns to step C18 to execute the next file. In this case, if "automatic update" is set as the "execution definition", the next file is executed according to the execution result of the file.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step C19 that the setting contents of the "execution definition" are not satisfied, or if it is determined in step C20 that the processing is not completed normally, the "execution result" Is recorded (step C23), and the icon 26 shown in FIG.
(Icon for continuous execution) is identified and displayed (step C)
24). The identification display is, for example, a lighting display, a display in a color distinguishable from other icons, or the like. By such icon identification display, the user can confirm on the screen that an abnormality has occurred.

In the case where it is determined in step C19 that the setting contents of the "execution definition" are not satisfied, for example, the contents of each file as shown in FIG.
If the date data (here, August 5) specified as a condition in advance when the file is executed cannot be detected,
This is the case, for example, when the money data (here, 10 million) specified as a condition in advance when the file “B.hyo” is executed cannot be detected.

The case where it is judged as abnormal in the step C20 means that, for example, when there is no corresponding file,
There is no reference file during file execution, or there is insufficient disk space.

When such an abnormality occurs,
In the process shown in FIG. 9, the process is immediately terminated regardless of the presence or absence of another file to be executed (steps C23, C24 → END). No, or whether or not to execute the file thereafter may be made selectable.

(C) At the time of releasing the file connection FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing operation at the time of releasing the file connection in this apparatus.

When the state in which a plurality of files are combined is released, as an operation performed by the user, as shown in FIG. 4, the icon 26 for continuous execution displayed on the operation screen of the apparatus is changed with a mouse. After selecting (Step D1
1) The user selects the item "uncouple" from the pull-down menu 25 displayed by operating the right button of the mouse (step D12). With such an operation, the CPU 1
1 executes the following processing.

That is, first, the names of the files to be continuously executed defined in the continuous execution file are extracted from the continuous execution file information table T3 (step D13), and the file information is determined based on these file names. The information of the corresponding file is extracted from the table T1 (step D14). In the example of FIG. 5C, “A. bun” and “B.
hyo ”and“ C.wak ”are registered as targets of continuous execution.
Then, the information of each of the files "A. bun", "B. hyo", and "C. wak" is extracted from the file information table T1 of FIG.

Here, a corresponding icon is retrieved from the icon image information table T2 based on the "icon NO" included in the information of each file, and is displayed on the operation screen. At this time, it is determined whether or not the “execution result” is abnormal for each file (step D15). As a result, if the “execution result” is normal, the corresponding icon is normally displayed (step D15 → D1).
6) If the “execution result” is abnormal, the corresponding icon is identified and displayed (step D15 → D1)
7). The identification display is, for example, a lighting display, a display in a color distinguishable from other icons, or the like. By such icon identification display, the user can confirm the file in which the error has occurred on the screen.

At the same time as displaying the icon of each file, the icon of the continuous execution file is deleted from the screen (step D18). That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the icon 26 of “X.con” disappears, and instead, the icons 21, 22, and 23 of the files “A. bun”, “B. hyo”, and “C. wak” are displayed. Will be displayed. In this case, if there is an abnormality in the file, its icon is identified and displayed.

Finally, the continuous execution file information table T
3 and the information related to the continuous execution file is deleted from the file information table T1 (step D19), and the process here ends.

As described above, in the present apparatus, continuous execution can be performed by a simple operation of selecting icons of files to be continuously executed on the screen and superimposing them sequentially. Therefore, specialized knowledge such as the case of using an editor is not required, and anyone can easily specify continuous execution and execute each file in the specified order.

Also, in the present apparatus, by viewing the superimposed icons, the files to be successively viewed can be easily confirmed, so that if a file is specified incorrectly, it can be immediately noticed. Even if you want to change to a file, you only need to exchange icons.

Further, since the icons are arranged in the order in which the files are executed, the specified order can be easily confirmed.
Even when the order is changed, a simple operation of changing the overlapping position of the icons is sufficient.

Further, when any abnormality occurs during the execution of the file, the icon of the continuous execution file is identified and displayed in a specific display form, so that the user can visually confirm that the abnormality has occurred, and later, Some measures can be taken.

Even when the file combination is released, it can be easily performed by operating the icons on the screen. In this case, for the file in which an error has occurred, the corresponding icon is identified and displayed in a specific display form, so that the user can visually confirm that the error has occurred, and can take some measures later.

Although the above embodiment has been described on the assumption that a plurality of files respectively created by different application software are executed successively, a plurality of files created by the same application software are executed. This is applicable even if the target file is used.

In the above-described embodiment, the icons are superimposed in the order of continuous execution, the icon of the file to be executed first is set at the bottom, and the icons of other files are superimposed on the icon in the execution order. The icon of the file to be executed may be set at the top, and the icons of other files may be superimposed below the icon in the order of execution.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the icons are superimposed. However, the icons may be arranged in a predetermined area in a predetermined order, for example. If it is possible to combine them so that they can be determined, they may be set in another execution order.

In short, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be variously modified in the implementation stage without departing from the gist of the invention. Furthermore, the embodiments include inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriately combining a plurality of disclosed constituent elements. For example, even if some components are deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment, the effects described in “Problems to be Solved by the Invention” can be solved,
When the effects described in the section of “Effects of the Invention” can be obtained, a configuration from which this component is deleted can be extracted as an invention.
