The resident program may be activated at the same time when the computer system (operating system) is activated, or may be activated by an independent activation operation. Further, for example, it may be started in response to the start of a specific program such as a web browser.

After the resident program is activated in step 5010, the process proceeds to step 5020 to start monitoring the event input. Next, it is determined in step 5030 whether a resident program end event has occurred. When the end event occurs, the resident program is ended, the process proceeds to step 5110 through the Yes arrow, and the process ends. If the end event has not occurred, the process proceeds to No. 5040 through the No arrow to determine whether the current mode is the window image operation mode or the standby mode.

In step 5040, the mode is window
If it is determined that the mode is not the image operation mode, that is, the standby mode, the process proceeds to step 5050 through a No arrow. In step 5050, it is determined whether a switching event to the window image operation mode has occurred. If it is determined in step 5050 that the event of switching to the window / image operation mode has not occurred, the process returns to step 5020 through the No arrow and the event input is monitored again.

If it is determined in step 5050 that a switching event to the window image operation mode has occurred, the process proceeds to step 5060 to change the mode to the window image operation mode and generate the window image. , Display on the display device. The window image is generated by operating system A

In step 5040, the mode is window
If it is determined that the image operation mode is set, the process proceeds to Y.
Proceed to step 5070 through the es arrow. In step 5070, it is determined whether a switching event to the standby mode has occurred. If it is determined in step 5070 that a switch event to standby mode has occurred, the process proceeds through the arrow to step 5080 where the mode is changed to standby mode and the window image is erased.

If it is not determined in step 5070 that a switching event to the standby mode has occurred, the process proceeds to step 5090. In step 5090,
It is determined whether an operation event for the window image has occurred. If it is determined in step 5090 that the operation event for the window image has not occurred, the process returns to step 4020 and the event input is monitored again.

If it is determined in step 5070 that an operation event for the window image has occurred, the process proceeds to step 5100. Step 5100
Then, the operation event for the window image is converted into the operation event for the target window. The converted operation event is
The target window is transmitted to the system and operated by the window manager 4120 of the operating system. Then, the process is step 4
Returning to 020, the event input is monitored again.

The conversion of the operation event for the window image in step 5100 of FIG. 5 into the operation event for the target window will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the target window is moved, minimized, maximized, closed, and scrolled by operating the window image will be described.

The process starts at step 6000. Next, proceeding to step 6010, it is determined whether a predetermined mouse button has been clicked by the user. If it is determined that the mouse is clicked, the process proceeds to step 6020 through a Yes arrow to enter a stage where the position of the pointer (click position) when the mouse is clicked is determined.

In step 6020, it is determined whether the clicked position is the maximize button image. If it is determined in step 6020 that the clicked position is the maximize button image, the process proceeds to step 6030 through the Yes arrow, and the event is converted into the maximize event of the target window, and the operating system displays it. Sent. As a result, the same effect as pressing the maximize button in the target window will be obtained. Then, the process is step 61.
Proceed to 30 to end.

If it is determined in step 6020 that the clicked position is not the maximized button image, the process advances to a step 6040 through a No arrow to determine whether the clicked position is the minimized button image. It If it is determined in step 6040 that the clicked position is the minimize button image, the process is Yes.
Proceeding to step 6050 through the s arrow, the event is converted to a target window minimization event and sent to the operating system. As a result, the same effect as pressing the minimize button in the target window will be obtained. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 6130 and ends.

If it is determined in step 6040 that the clicked position is not the minimized button image, the process advances to a step 6060 through a No arrow to determine whether the clicked position is the close button image. It If it is determined in step 6060 that the clicked position is the close button image, the process proceeds to step 6070 through the Yes arrow, and the event is converted into the close event of the target window, and the operating system displays it. Sent. As a result, closing the target window
The effect is the same as pressing the button.
Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 6130 and ends.

If it is not determined in step 6060 that the clicked position is the close button image,
The process proceeds to step 6130 and ends.

If it is not determined in step 6010 that the mouse button has been clicked, the process advances to step 6080 to determine whether or not a drag operation has been performed by the mouse. If the drag operation has not been performed, the process proceeds to step 6130 through the No arrow.
Go to and end. If a drag operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step 6090 to enter the stage of determining where the drag operation position (drag position) was.

In step 6090, it is determined whether the drag position is a scroll bar image.
In step 6090, the drag position is scroll bar.
If it is determined to be an image, the process proceeds to step 6100 through the Yes arrow, and the event is converted into a scroll event of the target window and sent to the operating system. As a result, the target window will be scrolled. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 6130 and ends.

When the target window is scrolled by using the scroll bar image in the window image, since the window image is small, the scroll sensitivity becomes too sensitive (sensitive), and the scroll is fine. Control may be difficult. Therefore, it is preferable that the “delayed scroll” method described below can be used according to the user's selection.

The "delayed scroll" is realized by enabling the scroll operation as shown in FIG. That is, when the scroll bar image is dragged in the initial state (11010) (1102).
In 0), instead of moving the scrollbar image in the same way as the pointer, the scrollbar image moves at a predetermined speed so that it follows the dragged pointer only while the mouse button is pressed. Do (11
030⇒11040⇒11050). Then, when the scroll bar image catches up with the pointer (110
60) or allow scrolling to end there when the mouse button is released. If you do this,
It is possible to avoid sudden movement of the pointer, which enables more detailed scrolling.

If it is determined in step 6090 that the drag position is not the scroll bar image, the process advances to a step 6110 through a No arrow to see if the drag position is the title bar image or the client area image. It is judged whether or not. If it is determined in step 6110 that the drag position is the title bar image or the client area image, the process proceeds to step 6 through the Yes arrow.
Proceeding to 120, the event is converted to a target window move event and sent to the operating system. As a result, the target window is moved. Then, the process is step 6
Proceed to 130 to end.

If it is determined in step 6110 that the drag position is not the title bar image or the client area image, the process proceeds to step 61.
Proceed to 30 to end.
