Description

  The present invention relates to a menu processing system, and more particularly to a menu processing system capable of starting a program under different starting conditions for each menu. The present invention also relates to the method and program.

  The menu processing system is incorporated in, for example, an OS of a computer and performs a predetermined menu display. Then, a control such as a button is displayed on the menu, and when the user presses the control, the program corresponding to the control is activated.

  In recent years, with the progress of end user computing, the number of users who handle menu processing systems is rapidly increasing. Along with this, there is an increasing need to change the number and display order of programs displayed on the menu for each user and to change the behavior of the program itself. That is, it is desired to set a user-specific menu display and program operation.

  Based on the above request, in the conventional menu processing system, it is possible to display a different menu for each user and to change a program that can be executed by such menu.

  Here, a conventional menu processing system will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 shows the configuration of a computer 101 equipped with a menu processing system. As shown in the figure, first, the computer 101 includes an input unit 130 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display unit 140 such as a display, a CPU 110 that is an arithmetic device, a memory that is a storage device, and a hard disk 120 (HD). It is a general computer that operates to execute a program prepared in advance according to the control displayed on the menu. Specifically, first, in the hard disk 120, user definition data (user definition data storage unit 121) in which a user name and a password registered for each user are stored, and menu definition data in which a menu is defined for each user. (Menu definition data storage unit 122) and a program (program storage unit 123) executable by the computer 101 are stored. Further, the CPU 110 incorporates a predetermined program, so that a menu display control unit 111 that receives a menu display instruction from the input unit and controls display of the menu for each user, and controls on the displayed menu. When is selected, a program activation unit 112 is constructed that executes a program associated with the control.

  When the menu display control unit 111 receives a menu display instruction from the input unit 130 together with data specifying the user such as a user name, the user is authenticated based on the data in the user definition data storage unit 121. The menu display control unit 111 extracts the menu definition data set for the user from the menu definition data storage unit 122, generates a menu screen having a plurality of control buttons based on the menu definition data, and displays the menu definition data. 140. Thereafter, when a specific control on the menu display is selected, a program associated with the control is specified and notified to the program starting unit 112. Then, the specified program is read from the program storage unit 123 and executed, and displayed on the display unit 140.

  FIG. 10 shows a menu display example in the conventional example. As shown in this figure, for example, an example is assumed in which three controls of control 1, control 2, and control 3 are displayed on the menu screen. In this case, the program A is activated from the control 1, the program B is activated from the control 2, and the program C is activated from the control 3.

JP-A-3-278128

  However, the conventional menu processing system has the following disadvantages. First, since a program to be activated for each command on the menu screen is directly associated, there arises a problem that the same program cannot be activated under different activation conditions. For this reason, when it is desired to start the same program with different start conditions, it is necessary to create the program itself separately, and there is a problem that the number of programs increases.

  Further, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, each parameter such as an option argument of a command program and whether or not an option is selected is set in advance, and each command program is executed based on the parameters. A technique of setting is also disclosed.

  However, even with the technique described in Patent Document 1, only one behavior can be set for one program at all, and it is the same for one user or a plurality of users. The program cannot be started with different behavior. For this reason, in the same manner as described above, a great amount of time and effort has been generated in creating the program, such as creating the program itself. Furthermore, it is difficult to change the behavior of the program for each user, and there is a problem that it cannot be said to be a menu processing system that can be set flexibly for the user and is easy to use.

  From the above, when adding a program for activation conditions, it is necessary to add the program itself and change the menu processing system as a whole, and the user himself can easily extend and use the menu processing system. It was difficult.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to improve the inconvenience of the above-described conventional example, and in particular, to provide a menu processing system that can easily change and set the behavior of a program to be started for each user.

The menu processing system according to the present invention is
A menu processing system for displaying a menu screen having a plurality of selectable menus on a display unit of a computer and starting a predetermined program when the menu is selected,
Each menu has storage means for storing program setting data for specifying a program to be started and an operation of the program,
When a menu is selected, the program setting data corresponding to the menu is read from the storage means, and the program starting means for starting the program based on the program setting data is provided.

  According to the menu processing system having the above-described configuration, for each menu, a program to be activated and an operation of the program (for example, activation conditions) are set in advance, and a specific program is preset by selecting the menu. Start to achieve the specified operation. Therefore, a specific program can be activated to perform any operation, and in particular, since it can be set for each menu, a plurality of behaviors can be realized in the same program. For this reason, it is possible for the user to easily set a change in the operation of the program, and it is easy to extend the program.

Also, the menu processing system is specifically
Menu display control means for displaying a menu screen having a plurality of selectable menus on a display unit of the computer, and program starting means for starting a predetermined program when a predetermined menu on the menu screen is selected. A menu processing system comprising:

The program activation means extracts the parameter corresponding to the selected menu from the menu definition data storage means, reads out the parameter definition data associated with the extracted parameter from the parameter definition data storage means, and stores the parameter definition data in the parameter definition data. On the basis of this, a configuration is adopted in which a program designated by the parameter definition data is activated so as to operate by a designated operation.

  According to the menu processing system having the above configuration, first, when a specific menu on the menu screen is selected, a parameter set in the menu is specified, and a program set for each parameter and data representing the operation are stored. Read out. Then, the designated program is activated so as to realize the read operation. Therefore, by associating a plurality of parameters with the same program and setting different operations for each parameter, the behavior of the same program can be set differently. For the user, a program having various functions can be easily set and started easily, and the addition and extension of the functions of such a program can be easily realized.

In addition to the above configuration, the menu processing system according to the present invention includes:
The menu definition data storage means stores a menu screen and data in which menu parameters in the menu screen are set for each of a plurality of users.

  Thereby, the parameter of each menu can be set for each user, and the program operation can be set differently for each parameter. Therefore, even when a predetermined program is shared by a plurality of users, it can be activated to operate in a state that matches the usage status of the user, and the convenience of the user can be improved. it can. Further, each program can be easily changed without adding a program, and the system can be easily expanded.

In addition to the above configuration,
Security definition data storage means for storing security definition data representing an access right to the program being executed in association with each parameter;
The program starting means has a function of reading security definition data associated with a parameter and starting the program so as to restrict access to the program based on the security definition data.

  As a result, an operation for ensuring security, such as the access authority of the program being executed, can also be specified for each menu, and the program can be started so that the specified access restriction is executed. Therefore, without creating the program itself, the program can be started from the menu in a state having different access authority functions even though they are the same program, and the convenience of the user can be improved. In addition, since a new program is not separately prepared, the system can be easily expanded.

  The present invention is also an invention of a menu processing method realized by executing the above system, or an invention of a program for causing a computer to realize each process constituting the above system.

Yes.

As a result, the program to be activated is not directly associated with the menu as shown in FIG. 10 described in the conventional example, but the program is associated with the parameter associated with the menu as shown in FIG. I tried to attach it. For this reason, it becomes possible to specify a plurality of parameters of different activation conditions for the same program. Hereinafter, specific configurations and operations of the present invention will be described through examples.
It was.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing a configuration in the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a menu display screen. 3 to 4 are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of data used in the present embodiment. 5 to 6 are flowcharts showing the operation in this embodiment.

<Configuration>
The menu processing system according to the present invention is a system that is incorporated in the computer 1 as described above and processes operations on menus that are displayed when an OS or other software operates. The computer 1 is a general computer, and basically includes an input unit 30 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a display unit 40 such as a display, a CPU 110 that is an arithmetic device, and a memory and a hard disk 120 that are storage devices. (HD).

  In the storage device such as the hard disk 120, a user-defined data storage unit 21 that stores user-defined data that is information relating to a user registered in advance that can use the menu processing system, and parameters are set for each menu. Menu definition data storage means 22 (menu definition data storage means) for storing menu definition data, program storage section 23 for storing program data itself that can be activated from the menu, programs to be activated for each parameter, and operations of the programs And parameter definition data storage means 24 (parameter definition data storage means) for storing the parameter definition data specifying the above in association with each other. Each data will be described in detail.

  First, the user definition data stores a user name, a user ID, a password and the like representing a registered user.

  The menu definition data is data representing a pre-registered menu screen unique to each user, and data in which parameters respectively corresponding to each menu in the menu screen are set. A specific example is shown in FIG. FIG. 3A shows data representing the definition of the menu screen set by the user X, which is “menu name: X”. This data is set for each menu (control), “control group: group 1” representing a set of menus (controls) on the menu screen, each control “control: control 1, 2, 3”, and each menu (control). “Parameters: P1, P2, P3”. As shown in FIG. 2, the menu X shown in FIG. 3A constitutes a menu screen that displays three controls that are each menu. The control 1 corresponds to the parameter P1, the control 2 corresponds to the parameter P2, and the control 3 corresponds to the parameter P3. Thus, when each control is selected on the menu screen, the corresponding parameter is referred to. Each parameter will be described later.

  The menu has a structure in which a plurality of control groups are held, and the control group has a structure in which a plurality of controls are held. And the control takes the correspondence of referring to one parameter. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the menu Y may be composed of two groups, group 1 and group 2, as control groups. Thereby, each control included in each of the group 1 and the group 2 is set to be displayed on a different menu screen.

  Next, parameter definition data will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the parameter definition data is composed of parameters, programs, and activation conditions (key and value pairs). That is, a specific program is first specified by one parameter, and a plurality of activation conditions (key and value pairs) that are operations of the program are set. Here, for example, “key” indicates an item in the program, and “value pair” indicates a value set for the item related to “key”.

  More specifically, first, the parameter definition data in FIG. 4A is associated with “parameter: P1” and indicates that the program “input inspection result” is started. The parameter P1 holds five activation conditions (key and value pairs). Specifically, the behavior of the program “input inspection result” is to display “screen title” on the screen and change “target item” in “yard” from “pre-inspection state” to “post-inspection state”. Represents that. Therefore, the screen title of the first key “input inspection result” indicates “raw material inspection”. The second key “target item” indicates that the item type to be processed for “input inspection result” is “raw material”. The third key “place” indicates that the place to be processed by “input inspection result” is “raw material warehouse”. The fourth key “pre-inspection place” indicates that the state before the execution of “inspection result input” is “not inspected”. The fifth key “post-inspection place” indicates that the state after execution of “inspection result input” is either “pass” or “fail”.

  Further, the parameter definition data associated with “parameter: P2” in FIG. 4B indicates that the program “input inspection result” is started, and five start conditions (key and value pairs) are set. Possess. These are the same as described above. As described above, the parameters P1 and P2 are set to start the same program, but are set to have different starting conditions.

  In addition, “parameter: P3” in FIG. 4C indicates that the program “input / exit record input” is started, and five start conditions (key / value pairs) are held. The behavior of the program “input / output record” indicates that “screen title” is displayed on the screen, and “target item” in “inventory status” is moved from “pre-movement location” to “post-movement location”. ing.

  Note that the parameter definition data shown in FIG. 4 is an example, and the operating conditions that can be specified in the program are not limited to the above contents.

  Next, each processing unit constructed by incorporating a predetermined program into the CPU 10 of the computer 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, in the CPU 10, a menu display control unit 11 (menu display control means) that receives a menu display instruction of a user from the input unit 30 and controls display of the menu for each user, and the menu is selected. A parameter management unit 12 that reads parameter definition data associated with a parameter corresponding to the menu and a program activation unit 13 (program activation unit) that activates a program based on the parameter definition data are constructed. Each of these processing units 11 to 13 will be described in detail.

  First, the menu display control unit 11 performs authentication with the user definition data in the user definition data storage unit 21 based on the information specifying the input user, and handles the user from the menu definition data storage unit 22. The menu definition data to be read is read and displayed on the display unit 40 as a menu. For example, when the menu definition data for the menu: X shown in FIG. 3A is read, three control buttons of control 1, control 2, and control 3 are displayed on the menu screen as shown in FIG. . In addition, when any control is pressed by the user via the input unit 30, the menu display control unit 11 recognizes the pressed control and refers to the menu definition data to correspond to the control. Identify the parameters. The parameter is notified to the program starting unit 13, and at this time, the parameter managing unit 12 is also notified via the program starting unit 13. For example, when the control 1 is pressed, the parameter P1 is specified, and the parameter P1 is notified to the program activation unit 13 and the parameter management unit 12. The menu display control unit 11 may directly notify the parameter management unit 12 of the parameters.

  The parameter management unit 12 receives the parameter notified from the program activation unit 13, searches the parameter definition data storage unit 24, reads the parameter definition data associated with the received parameter, and notifies the program activation unit 13 of the parameter definition data. . As a result, the program that is activated when the predetermined control is selected and the activation condition are specified. For example, when the parameter management unit 12 is notified of the parameter P 1 corresponding to the control 1, the parameter definition data shown in FIG. 4A is read from the parameter definition data storage unit 24, and the data is sent to the program activation unit 13. Be notified.

  As described above, the program activation unit 13 reads out the program specified by the parameter definition data notified from the parameter management unit 12 from the program storage unit 23 and activates it. At this time, the program is activated using the activation conditions set in the parameter definition data. Specifically, the behavior of the program starter is illustrated in FIG. In this figure, three controls of control 1, control 2, and control 3 are displayed on the menu screen. When the control 1 is selected, the program A is activated using the activation condition of the parameter P1. When the control 2 is selected, the program A is activated using the activation condition of the parameter P2. When the control 3 is selected, the program B is activated using the activation condition of the parameter P3.

  In this way, the program A can be started from the controls 1 and 2, respectively, but since the parameters are different and the start conditions associated with the parameters are different, the program A is started with different behaviors.

<Operation>
Next, the operation of the menu processing system described above will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, when the user logs in to the computer, the menu display control unit 111 extracts data specifying the user such as a user name from the input unit 130 (step S1). Then, the user is authenticated against the data in the user definition data storage unit 121 from the user name or the like (step S2). Further, the menu display control unit 111 extracts menu definition data set for the user from the menu definition data storage unit 122 (step S3), and generates a menu screen having a plurality of control buttons based on the menu definition data storage unit 122. And it displays on the display part 140 (step S3, menu display control process). For example, a menu screen as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed based on the menu definition data of menu: X shown in FIG. Thereafter, the control waits for selection of a control on the menu screen (step S5).

  When a specific menu on the menu screen is selected (Yes in step S5), the parameter associated with the selected control is specified with reference to the menu definition data (step S6, selected) Menu recognition process, parameter identification process). Subsequently, the parameter definition data associated with this parameter is read from the parameter definition data storage unit 24 (step S7, program setting data reading step, parameter definition data reading step). Then, the program specified by the parameter definition data is read from the program storage unit 23 and activated (step S8, program activation process).

  At this time, for example, if the control 1 shown in FIG. 2 is pressed, the program is started based on the parameter definition data of the parameter P1. As a specific operation, first, the parameter definition data of the parameter P1 is read, and the program “input inspection result” is started (step S8). Subsequently, the key “screen title” in the first line in the parameter definition data is confirmed (Yes in step S9). In the first loop, it is specified whether or not the key “screen title” is the assumed key in the program “test result input” (step S10). Next, “raw material inspection” is set as “screen title” (step S11). Subsequently, in the second loop, whether or not the key “target item” is an assumed key in the program “input inspection result” is specified (steps S9 and S10). Next, “raw material” is set as “target item” (step S11). In the third loop, it is specified whether or not the key “place” is the assumed key in the program “inspection result input” (steps S9 and S10). Next, “raw material warehouse” is set as “place” (step S11). In the fourth loop, it is specified whether or not the key “pre-test state” is a key assumed in the program “test result input” (steps S9 and S10). Next, “uninspected” is set as the “pre-inspection state” (step S11). Further, in the fifth loop, it is specified whether or not the key “post-test state” is the assumed key in the program “test result input” (steps S9 and S10). Next, either “pass” or “fail” is set as the “post-inspection state” (step S11). At the end of the loop, the startup process by the program startup unit 13 is completed.

  In this way, according to the menu processing system, method, and menu processing program described in the present embodiment, it can be activated to perform an arbitrary operation preset in a certain program, and in particular, can be set for each menu. Therefore, a plurality of behaviors can be realized in the same program. Since the parameter definition data that logically separates the menu display and program activation is provided, it is only necessary to change the parameter definition data and there is no need to generate a new program. It is possible to set a change in the operation of the program, and it is possible to easily realize addition and extension of the function of such a program.

  Furthermore, even when a predetermined program is shared by a plurality of users, it is possible to easily start the program in a state set in accordance with the usage status of the user, thereby improving user convenience. be able to.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the menu processing system in this embodiment, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the contents of data used in this embodiment.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7, the menu processing system in this embodiment, that is, the computer 1 in which the system is incorporated, has almost the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, a security definition data storage unit 25 that stores security definition data representing a predetermined access authority for the program being executed is further formed in the hard disk 20 that is a storage device. A security management unit 14 for managing such data is built in the CPU 10. Along with this, other processing units also have new functions.

  First, the security definition data is stored in association with each parameter, and has a structure as shown in FIG. 8, for example. That is, as security during execution of the program specified by each parameter, the presence / absence of a reference authority, a new addition authority, a modification authority, and a deletion authority is defined. In other words, when the program specified by each parameter is started, the user can refer to the program, add new data, or change the registered data. Whether it is possible to delete the registered data is set. The security definition data is not limited to the above contents. Further, the security definition data may be incorporated in the menu definition data.

  The security management unit 14 reads out the security definition data corresponding to the parameter from the security definition data storage unit 25 in response to a request from the program activation unit 13 that has received the selected control parameter. Then, this is notified to the program starting unit 13.

  The program starting unit 13 is based on the parameter definition data specifying the behavior of the program to be started received from the parameter management unit 12 and the security management data specifying the security condition of the program to be started received from the security management unit 14. Start the program to meet each condition.

  For example, the security conditions shown in FIG. 8 will be described in detail. This figure is data indicating the security authority in the menu: X. User X has full authority over the program started from control 1. On the other hand, the program started from the control 2 has only a reference authority and a change authority. In addition, the program started from the control 3 has only a reference authority. The program activation unit 13 receives the security definition data from the security management unit 14 when the program is activated, determines whether any operation of reference, new addition, change, or deletion is possible, and the corresponding operation Control the behavior of the program to allow only.

  As a result, an operation for ensuring security such as the access authority of the program after execution can be designated for each menu, and the program can be started so that the designated access restriction is executed. Therefore, various programs having different access authority functions in the same program can be started from the menu without creating a new program separately, and the convenience of the user can be improved. Since it is possible to operate security definition data prepared separately without changing the contents of the program itself, system expansion can be easily realized.

  The menu processing system according to the present invention can easily change the behavior of a program that is difficult to change or add to a program, and is effective when applied to a menu such as an operating system. And has industrial applicability.
