Next, referring to the drawings, the above-described server 1
An operation of constructing, generating, and executing a software group based on the basic operation in the client 3 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the software group construction / generation / execution system according to the above-described embodiment.

When the user of the client 3 uses the software group construction / generation / execution system according to the embodiment for the first time, the user makes an application and registration for the construction / generation / execution of the software group to the server 1. For this reason, the user applies for registration of user information such as a name and a user ID. In response to this, the construction processing unit 11 newly registers user information such as a user name and a user ID in the user registration management database 26 and the system history management database 27 (step S1). At this time, existing individual construction / generation / execution resources may be registered.
The registration here means that the user information such as the transmitted name and user ID is written into the user registration management database 26 and the system history management database 27,
This means securing an area for writing user usage history information and history information on software group construction / generation / execution in the system.

Next, the user sends the operating environment of the client 3 and the purpose of construction / generation / execution to the server 1, and the construction processing unit 11 of the server 1 sets the operating environment for the software group. For example, the construction processing unit 11 determines the model of the client 3 and the operating system (O
S), the number of peripheral devices provided, the purpose of the user's software group construction / generation / execution, etc. are set.

Then, the construction processing unit 11 writes information on the contents to be set for the corresponding user area in the user registration management database 26 and the system history management database 27. Then, necessary history is reset for each database used by the construction resource input / output unit 14 for the first time so that the past history of the user can be searched and used by the construction processing unit 11. At this time, registration coordination information can be registered in each database together with individual construction / generation / execution resources including new resources desired by the user (step S2). As a result, it is possible to reset the user including the individual operation environment and the individual new resources for the construction, generation, and execution of the software group. For example, as a runtime resource prepared by yourself,
You can also register moving images, audio, images, etc. here.

The construction processing unit 11 instructs the client 3 to display a screen for constructing a software group on the client 3. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed at the time of building a software group displayed on the client 3 in the embodiment. The screen shown in FIG. 5 is a screen displayed first at the time of construction / generation / execution, and is used to determine in which class a software group to be constructed / generated / executed is to be constructed / generated / executed. Used for

In FIG. 5, "elementary" refers to a module group and a part group to be incorporated with a structure group, which is a model of a software group prepared in advance, with reference to a guidance / option group for an elementary level. This is a class that builds, generates, and executes a desired software group by combining the simple addition, deletion, and simple correction operations collectively.

The term “intermediate level” refers to a module group and a part group to be incorporated with a structure group, which is a model of a software group prepared in advance, with reference to the guidance / option group for the intermediate level and to receive support. This is a class for constructing, generating, and executing a desired software group by combining the operations of adding, deleting, and simple correction collectively.

Further, "advanced" refers to using a group of modules and parts to be incorporated with a structure group, which is a model of a software group prepared in advance, with reference to a group of guidance and options for advanced use and receiving support. This is a class for constructing, generating, and executing a desired software group by combining operations of addition, deletion, and correction collectively. In the present embodiment, the classes are classified into three levels of elementary, intermediate, and advanced.
Although the number of classes is divided, it is not necessary to limit the number of classes to three.

Next, an operation of selecting, “generic” class, constructing, generating, and executing a software group will be described.
The screen shown in FIG. 5 is a screen displayed first when a software group is constructed as described above, and a screen for construction is hereinafter defined as a “construction screen”. Several function buttons are provided below the construction screen, and the user operates these buttons to proceed with construction, generation, and execution of a software group. In this embodiment, it is assumed that all button operations can be performed using the touch panel. As a result, the user can make a touch response to the option using the touch panel, and proceed with the construction of the software group, except when the user himself or herself inputs a text or the like.

In the input operation of a question / request,
On the input screen, options expected for frequently asked questions / requests at the time of the processing are appropriately displayed. In addition, the display includes an option “not in the display options”. In this embodiment, at the same time, in the "construction screen",
The outline display section, the option display section, the display section of the execution screen example and the function buttons are arranged and displayed in an array on one screen, but in the case of a device with restrictions, the function buttons are external keys, The three display units may be alternately displayed in an easy-to-understand order so that the user can respond.

Here, the functions of various buttons provided on the construction screen will be described. Touching the “Next「 ”button or the“ Back △ ”button on the screen moves to the next screen or the previous screen. If you touch the "Explanation" button, the mode shifts from the processing mode to the explanation mode. If you touch the item name you want to receive the explanation displayed on the explanation mode screen, the explanation screen is newly opened and the detailed explanation about the specified item is given. Is further displayed on the screen. further,
Touch the "Question" button to switch from the processing mode to the question / request mode. Touch the question / request item displayed on the question / request mode screen to open a new question / request screen and accept the question / request. .

Next, the relationship between the "description" button and the "question" button and each component of the present embodiment will be described. When the user touches the “description” button during the construction / generation / execution work, the interaction processing unit 31 switches the processing mode to the transmission / reception mode. Then, the interaction processing unit 31 reads the part touched by the user. Further, the dialogue processing unit 31 makes an inquiry about this description to the server 1 via the transmission / reception unit 32. The construction processing unit 11 of the server 1 inquires of the question and answer unit 17 whether or not a detailed description of this part exists in the guidance / option group database 24 of the server 1. In response to this inquiry, the question-and-answer unit 17 searches the guidance / option group database 24 for a corresponding description, reads out the corresponding description and the option group, and passes the read description and the option group to the construction processing unit 11.

Then, the construction processing section 11 transmits this result to the client 3. The interaction processing section 31 receives the result and displays the content. In this way, when the user needs an explanation during the construction / generation / execution work, the user can display an explanation and a group of options for determination input on the screen.

When the user touches the "question" button during the construction / generation / execution work, the interactive processing unit 31 switches the processing mode to the question mode. Then, the interaction processing unit 31 reads the part touched by the user. afterwards,
In the same manner as when the "description" button is touched, the question / answer section 17 is inquired about whether or not a question / request relating to this portion exists in the guidance option group database 24, and the question / request sentence and the option group are entered. It is read and returned to the construction processing unit 31.

The user proceeds with the construction / generation / execution work by such button operations except when the user inputs his / her favorite text and when the user separately transmits his / her own resources. Also, in the input of a question / request, the input screen appropriately displays a question / request expected option that frequently appears at the time of the processing. The options include an option “not in the display options”. Then, the construction processing unit 11 transmits the result to the client 3. The interaction processing unit 31 receives the result and displays the content.
In this way, the user can make a question or request to the server 1 when he or she wants to make a question or request.

On the other hand, the question-and-answer section 17 of the server 1 checks the contents of the question file 25 at any time, and checks whether or not the frequently asked questions and requests of the contents to be added to the option group are recorded. I do. When the corresponding question / request is recorded, the guidance used for the answer is added to the question / request file 25 as guidance for the question / request in combination with the option. In this way, a new answer can be registered in the question / request file 25 when no answer exists.

The question-and-answer section 17 of the server 1 checks the contents of the frequently asked questions / requests file 25 and explains the guidance of the questions / requests used for the answer when the frequency reaches a certain frequency. Is registered in the guidance option group database 24 in combination with the option. In this way, the guidance of frequently asked questions / requests can be registered in the guidance option database 24 and reinforced.

Further, the administrator of the server 1 records frequently asked questions / request items in the question / request file 25. In order to meet this demand, the administrator creates a new software template, a module template, and a part group, a runtime resource group, and registration cooperation information prepared for them, and a structure group database 19 and a module group database. 20, a part group database 21, a runtime resource group database 22, and a registration cooperation information database 23 are newly registered.

When the user touches the button, the system automatically constructs, generates, and executes the work to be performed by the user after the present time in the range to be dealt with when the user touches the button. This button is used to perform a series of operations for automatically selecting and setting reconfiguration information from the user and its runtime resources. Also, at this time, if desired, the user sets the restructuring information and its run-time resources on behalf of the user, and builds / generates / executes the result. The results automatically generated by the "re-confirmation function" can be sequentially confirmed. At this time, the user responds to the permission / inhibition selection display with the guidance one by one so that the construction, generation and execution of the software group according to the permission / prohibition can be performed as necessary. It is carried out.

For example, if the user touches the “leave it” button during the addition / modification / deletion work, the construction processing unit 1
1 switches the processing mode to the leave mode. And
The construction processing unit 11 sets all existing contents except those added / modified / deleted up to this point and those that are changed by their cooperation. For example, if the user does not add, modify, or delete anything while creating the screen, and the "Leave it" button continues to be touched and the user finishes the construction, creation, and execution, the existing Is set without change again. Therefore, this state becomes a configuration of a software group having the same function as the content registered in the menu selected at the time of setting the construction component.

The "exemplary" button is a button for newly opening a search exemplary screen when the user touches it. When the “exemplify” button in the search example screen is touched, the guidance / option group database 24 and the user registration management database 26 are displayed based on the input keyword.
Then, the system history management database 27 is searched, and an example of the combination is displayed on the illustrated display unit. And
The user selects and inputs a desired combination from the displayed examples. A plurality of settings can be made in the combination selection at this time. Also, individual items can be individually set at the same time as the setting of the combination, and a desired combination can be set by performing a process in addition to the selection. At this time, if the same item is duplicated, it is automatically omitted.

The "end" button is a button for ending the option input operation on the currently open screen when the user touches it. At this point, if a problem such as an error occurs in the setting of the screen, guidance / option display is performed together with a warning sound before transition to the next screen, and the user waits for an option input to be judged and answered. At this time, the options include "reserve the judgment at the present time" and "take additional measures."

Next, the class selected by the user is notified to the construction processing unit 11. In response to this, the construction processing unit 11 inputs an option of a menu item created by the user registered as the “self menu screen” based on the user registration management database 26 and the system history management database 27 using an example button. . Also, from among the registered item names in the structure group database 19 that stores the structures that are software templates, construction, generation,
A plurality of menu names and registration item names to be executed are displayed on the screen using the example buttons, and are input according to options. This makes it possible to obtain a plurality of names of a group of structures that are currently registered as software templates.

The names of the group of structures that can be used as a software template are obtained so that users such as “mail transmission”, “audio control”, “banking”, and “shopping” satisfy the purpose. The name of the “self menu” having the created function or the name of the main function realized by the software group is given. Further, in the case of constructing by combining, adding, modifying and deleting two functions at the same time, a plurality of structures such as “mail” and “audio control” may be selected. For example,
When the item names of “mail” and “audio control” constructed in this manner are selected, the software group is configured to be able to transmit a mail including music information.

The interaction processing section 31 receives this name and causes the input / output section 33 to display it. User is Client 3
Of software to be constructed / generated / executed from the names displayed on the display screen. If there is no name of the software group that satisfies the requirement among the displayed names, the user ends the elementary class and builds, generates, and executes the software group in the intermediate class or the advanced class.

When the names of structures, modules, parts, or combinations thereof, which are desired software templates, are displayed on the screen, the user touches the displayed names to input options. do. The interaction processing unit 31 notifies the construction processing unit 11 of the result selected in this way. The construction processing unit 11
Based on the notified selection result, a structure group, which is a model of the corresponding software group, is read from the structure group database 19 via the construction resource input / output unit 14. And
The construction processing unit 11 transmits to the client 3 a module relating to the model screen processing and a plurality of names obtained here.

The interactive processing unit 31 displays the module related to the screen processing transmitted from the construction processing unit 11 on the input / output unit 33. Then, the user adds, corrects, and corrects the displayed screen processing screen so as to match the desired software group.
Make a deletion. Next, the interaction processing unit 31 adds, corrects,
The screen of the screen processing whose deletion has been completed is transmitted to the construction processing unit 11. The construction processing unit 11 internally holds the added / modified / deleted screen and ends the screen creation processing (step S3).

Next, the construction processing section 11 transmits a module relating to the item processing to the client 3. In response to this, the interaction processing unit 31 displays a module related to the item processing. Then, the user adds, corrects, and deletes in the same manner as the screen processing. The addition / modification / deletion performed here is to add / modify / delete registration cooperation prepared and registered for this screen such as an item name displayed on the screen. Subsequently, the interaction processing unit 31 transmits the items that have been added, corrected, and deleted to the construction processing unit 11. The construction processing unit 11 internally stores the added / modified / deleted item, and ends the item creation processing (step S4).

Next, the construction processing section 11 transmits a module relating to the processing operation setting to the client 3. In response to this, the interaction processing unit 31 displays a module relating to the processing operation setting. Then, the user adds, corrects, and deletes in the same manner as the screen processing. The addition / modification / deletion performed here is to add to the screen transition or how to process the numerical value or character string input for each item, etc. Add / modify / delete items so that they are consistent.

Subsequently, the dialog processing unit 31 adds, corrects,
The processing operation whose deletion has been completed is transmitted to the construction processing unit 11.
The construction processing unit 11 internally stores the added / modified / deleted processing operation, and ends the processing operation setting process.
Further, at this time, step S3, step S4
A check is made of the mutual coordination consistency between the reconstructed information from the user and the execution resources set in the above. And
Necessary preparations are made before creating an execution file (step S5).

Next, the user determines whether it is necessary to add, modify, or delete further (step S6).
If the determination result is YES, it is determined that it is necessary to add, delete, or correct, and an instruction to perform addition, correction, or deletion is notified to the construction processing unit 11. by this,
The processing from step S3 to step S5 is repeated. However, when adding, modifying, and deleting are further performed, addition, modification, and deletion are added to the module held in the construction processing unit 11.

If the result of the determination is NO, the construction processing unit 11 finishes all the additions, corrections, and deletions, the module relating to screen processing, the module relating to item processing, and the processing operation setting. Is passed to the module generation unit 15. At this time, the construction processing unit 11 reads the operating environment of the client 3 acquired in step S2 from the user registration management database 26, and also passes this operating environment to the module generation execution unit 15 at the same time. In response to this, the module generation execution unit 15
Generates an execution file of a desired software group from the restructuring information from the user passed from the construction processing unit 11 and its execution-time resource group (step S7).

When the source code is in a compiled language, the execution file is generated by compiling and linking in accordance with the environment of the client 3 based on the previously passed operating environment. If the source code is in an interpreted language and an executable file can be generated, an executable file may be created in combination with the necessary runtime module. If the client 3 does not have an interpreter environment in a language in which a file cannot be created by compiling the file for execution, an execution file is generated in combination with the resources for setting the interpreter environment. If the client 3 has an interpreter environment, an execution file is created without compiling.

Each component storing a database of construction resource information used in construction has both a source code and an object. And if addition / modification / deletion does not require compilation,
Generate an executable file using already compiled objects. If addition, modification, or deletion requires compiling, compiling and linking is performed, or a runtime module is created to generate an execution file. In some cases, an execution file is generated without changing the source code.

If a failure such as an error occurs by performing the compiling and linking operations, the result is notified to the construction processing unit 11. Then, the construction processing unit 11 notifies the client 3 of the result together with guidance / options for avoiding / improving the defect, and performs addition / modification / deletion of the module and the part.
Encourage them to avoid or improve the contents. This allows users to avoid and improve problems,
By adding / modifying / deleting modules and parts, software group construction / generation / execution desired by the user is performed. In this case, the error is provided with guidance and an example with explanations and options for avoidance is sent. In this guidance, the selection when the button of your choice is pressed is specially described.

Next, the module generation execution unit 15 passes the generated execution file to the construction processing unit 11. As a result, a desired software group is constructed and generated. Then, the construction processing unit 11 transmits the execution file of the software group to the client 3 (Step S8). Then, the construction processing unit 11 registers the information of the software group constructed here as a construction system history unique to the user system in the user registration management database 26 and the system history management database 27 (step S9). The execution file of the software group transmitted here is received by the transmission / reception unit 32 of the client 3 and passed to the execution processing unit 34. Then, when the user issues an activation instruction from the input / output unit 33, the software group is activated.

As described above, a software group is constructed, generated, and executed by adding, modifying, and deleting necessary parts in a lump using a template of the software group prepared in advance. As a result, software groups can be easily constructed, generated, and executed. Also, the client 3 is provided with the dialogue processing unit 31 so that all processing can be performed on the server 1 side.
It is possible to construct, generate, and execute a software group without having to prepare an execution environment.

When the “description” button on the above-mentioned function construction screen is touched and the “elementary” part is touched, the construction processing unit reads the construction work description from the guidance / option group database 24 and transmits it to the client 3. I do. The interactive display unit 31 displays a screen related to this explanation. Figure 6 shows the guidance / option group database 2
6 is an example of a display screen related to the description of the construction work procedure read from FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, on this screen, work procedures performed by the user are shown as corresponding to the table of contents.

Next, the user selects “Next” from the function menu.
When the button is touched, the construction processing unit 11 displays a construction screen on the client 3. FIG. 7 is a view showing a display example of a construction screen in the embodiment. In FIG. 7, 71
Is a basic screen of the construction screen, 72 is an execution screen displayed in the basic screen 71, and 73 is an option screen displayed in the basic screen 71. The execution screen 72 is a screen for defining each function when building a software group.
The option screen 73 is a screen that displays a group of options that can be selected when defining each function on the execution screen 72.

On the option screen 73, each function corresponding to a module group prepared in advance is displayed. For example, a function-based display such as a menu function for searching for a desired software group from a plurality of software groups already constructed, a mail transmission / reception function, and a control function of an audio device is displayed. When constructing a menu, the user selects “menu function” from the option screen 73 and switches the execution screen to the menu construction processing mode.

At this time, the contents as shown in FIG. 8 are displayed on the execution screen. The minimum number of participants is set, and in a travel event planning in which the number of applications does not reach, the postponement of the due date is consulted and the increase in cost is considered. At the same time, we will consult all applicants and organizers about the situation and the new date and amount,
The final result is consulted to all of them, and the result is notified to the organizer and necessary applicants.

FIG. 8 is an example of the self menu screen displayed on the execution screen 72. In FIG. 8, A to D are major categories, and the A category is a menu classified into three categories of “message”, “schedule”, and “memo”. Perform additions and changes.

Here, the functions of the buttons provided on the execution screen will be described. The “▽” and “△” buttons are buttons for moving forward or backward the display position of the option group. The “○” button is a button for making a selection selected from options as a selection decision. When this button is touched, the corresponding selection item shifts from the option screen to the execution screen. The “×” button is a button for deselecting a selection item on the option screen. When this button is touched, the selected item is deleted, and the next selected item is actively displayed at its display position. The “OK” button is a button for terminating the option input on the current screen.

“→” and “←” in the self menu screen are
Touching the “→” portion on the right side of the row of items on the screen moves the entire row to the left, and a new menu item name separated by “•” is displayed on the right. In this case, the leftmost menu item displayed on the screen is deleted from the screen. Also, if you touch “←” on the right side of the row of items on the screen, the entire display content of that column will move to the right and a new menu item name separated by “•” will be displayed on the left side. You. In this case, the rightmost menu item displayed on the screen is deleted from the screen.

[↑], [↓] on the self menu screen
If you touch “↓” at the bottom of columns A, B, C, and D of items on the screen, columns A, B, C, and D will move up, and a new menu item in column E will appear. Displayed in the bottom row. At this time, the column A of the top menu is deleted. Touching “↑” below the rows B, C, D, and E of the items on the screen moves the rows of the rows B, C, D, and E down, and the row of the menu item in the row A is again displayed. Displayed in the top row. At this time, the row E of the menu item in the bottom row is deleted. Further, when the “new addition” display on the self menu screen is touched, a new menu item is inserted and displayed on the right side of the menu item of the current active display.

Here, a procedure for constructing, generating, and executing the mail transmission function will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a display example of an execution screen for creating a header at the time of mail transmission. In FIG. 9, "... from" means a transmission source. The “Hanako address” means that the “mail address” of the transmission source is input when executing the software group. Further, the “date and time” portion means that the expression format of the date and time is input in the format of “May 5, 5:00”.

Therefore, when the software group is executed, this date and time becomes the reconstructed information from the user and the resources at the time of the execution.
It means that it is necessary to input in a format such as "○○". Here, a procedure for constructing the mail transmission function will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a display example of an execution screen for creating a header at the time of mail transmission. In FIG. 9, “from...” Means a transmission source. “Hanako ID” means that the user ID of the transmission source is input when the software group is executed. further,
In the "date and time" part, the expression format of date and time is "May 5 5:
00 ”.

Similarly, FIG. 10 is a display example of an execution screen in the case of creating mail contents at the time of mail transmission. In this case, the number of character lines of the mail text that can be transmitted (three lines in the present embodiment) is specified, which means that a kanji character string is used for the content. Then, when executing the software group, "O
Touching the “K” button means that the mail will be sent.

As described above, by creating a plurality of execution screens using the construction screen shown in FIG. 7, the software group construction / generation / execution work can be advanced.
Finally, by touching an "end" button, software group construction / generation / execution is performed. When the “end” button is touched, the construction processing unit 11 instructs the module generation execution unit 15 to read out the module for each selected function. At this time, an instruction is issued to read out three modules of “menu construction”, “mail transmission (1)”, and “mail transmission (2)”.

In response to this, the module generation execution unit 15
Reads a required module with reference to the corresponding module group database 20. Then, the read module is passed to the construction processing unit 11. And the construction processing unit 1
1 performs necessary processing on the structure from which the reconstruction information from the user input on the execution screen and the runtime resources have been read.

Next, the construction processing section 11 passes the module in which the restructuring information from the user and its runtime resources are embedded to the module generation execution section 15 and generates an execution file. The configuration of the execution file generated here is shown in FIG.
Shown in In FIG. 11, a function A corresponds to a “menu construction” module, and an “initial process”, a “main process”, and an “end process” are simultaneously linked to generate an execution file. The functions A, B, and C are configured by modules that perform screen processing, item processing, and database processing, respectively. In the example shown in FIG. 11, screen processing, item processing, and database processing are illustrated for each function, but unnecessary functions are not linked. In this case, the software group to be constructed, generated, and executed may not use the screen, and when the screen has no items, there is a software group in which the processing is merely a screen transition.

Next, the construction processing unit 11 transfers the module in which the restructuring information from the user and its runtime resources are embedded to the module generation execution unit 15 to generate an execution file. The configuration of the execution file generated here is shown in FIG.
Shown in In FIG. 11, a function A corresponds to a module of “menu construction”, and includes “initial processing”, “transition processing”,
"End processing" is linked at the same time to generate an execution file. Functions A, B, and C are screen processing,
It consists of modules that perform item processing and database processing, respectively.

Further, when a required group is selected from the parts group database 21 in the advanced class to build / generate / execute the software group, the construction processing unit 11 transmits the necessary parts group via the construction resource input / output unit 14. By reading and passing it to the module generation and execution unit 15, the parts are linked simultaneously as necessary to form an execution file as shown in FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, most of the software group construction / generation / execution functions are performed by the server 1.
However, the processing load may be distributed by providing the client 3 with necessary functions as necessary. Furthermore, all functions of the server 1 and the client 3 are provided in one computer system, and the construction, generation, and
The execution may be performed.

As described above, by using the modules or parts for each function prepared in advance, the reconfiguration information from the user and the runtime resources are set by the user so as to correspond to the desired software group. Is generated, it is possible to easily construct, generate, and execute a desired software group. In addition, since the functions required for the software group are defined while referring to the selection screen in the construction, generation, and execution, the software group can be constructed, generated, and executed without having knowledge of program development. be able to.

Further, by providing the client 3 with the question-and-answer section 17, the guidance / option group database 24, and the question / request file 25 of the server 1, there is no need to perform data transmission / reception operations via the network each time. It is possible to partially cope only with the above. In this case, for example, the number of times of touching the touch panel on the screen may be determined to be performed only by the client 3 or to be switched to the transmission / reception mode. For example, when the touch panel is touched once, the touch is performed only by the client 3, and when the touch panel is double-touched, the mode is switched to the transmission / reception mode, and the question and answer and the like can be performed via the question and answer section 17 of the server 1.

In the above-described embodiment, the question and answer section 17 is connected to the guidance / option group database 24 and the question / request file 25, and the guidance / option group at the time of construction and the time of execution, respectively. Questions are recorded. These databases may be divided into a database used at the time of construction and a database used at the time of execution, a guidance / option group database at the time of construction and a question file at the time of construction may be used at the time of construction, and a database corresponding to the time of execution may be used at the time of execution. Also, the module generation execution unit 15
May be divided into a module generation unit and a module execution unit. Further, each of the structure group database 19, the module group database 20, the parts group database 21, the runtime resource group database 22, and the registration cooperation information database 23 is not an independent database but a single database. You may make it input / output via the part 14.
