Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of an information display system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the information display system 1 is an intranet system built in a company, and includes a database server 10 that manages data and terminal devices 20a, 20b, and 20c used by users in the company. It is configured. In the figure, three terminal devices 20a, 20b, and 20c are shown, but there are actually a plurality of terminal devices. Hereinafter, these terminal devices 20a, 20b, and 20c are not particularly distinguished and will be described as “terminal device 20”.

  The database server 10 is a WWW (World Wide Web) server and has a general computer hardware configuration. As shown in FIG. 2, the hard disk of the database server 10 has a parts information DB (database) 101 for managing various parts information stored in the company as a stock, a screen display item selection table 102, and a user display. An item table 103 is provided.

The component information DB 101 is, for example, a relational database. In the parts information DB 101, for example, item A “model name”, item B “manufacturer name”, item C “material code”, item D “status”, item E “stock unit price”, item F “order price”, item G ... are defined, and data corresponding to each item (hereinafter referred to as "item content") is stored.
The screen display item selection table 102 stores definition items of the component information DB 101. The user can select an item to be displayed on the terminal device 20 from items stored in the screen display item selection table 102.

  In the user display item table 103, a set of items (hereinafter referred to as “user display items”) selected from the screen display item selection table 102 is classified for each user and each group and stored as a “user display item group”. The That is, the user display item group is data including a group identifier, a user identifier, and a user display item.

FIG. 4 shows a conceptual diagram when a user display item is selected from items stored in the screen display item selection table 102 and registered in the user display item table 103 for each group. It is also possible to delete a user display item once registered in the user display item table 103.
Further, various application software is stored in the hard disk of the database server 10, and the function unit shown in FIG. 3 is realized in the database server 10 by the CPU of the database server 10 executing these application software. The data storage unit 11 holds a component information DB 101 and stores and manages various component information.
The user display item storage unit 12 includes a user display item table 103, a user display item group stored in the user display item table 103, and a program for registering the user display item group in the user display item table 103. Composed.

  The user display item group selection unit 13 includes a program for selecting a user display item group and selection group information stored in the hard disk. In response to a user instruction, the user display item group selection unit 13 selects an item content for which user display item group from among a plurality of user display item groups stored in the user display item table 103 as a display target. Select. Specifically, when receiving an instruction for selecting a user display item group from the terminal device 20, the user display item group selection unit 13 uses the group identifier of the instructed user display item group as selection group information. Store it on the hard disk. When the CPU of the database server 10 receives an item content acquisition request from the component information DB 101 from the terminal device 20, the CPU transmits the item content for the user display item group identified by the selected group information to the terminal device 20.

  Next, the configuration of the terminal device 20 will be described. The terminal device 20 has a general computer hardware configuration. Various programs and data are stored in the hard disk of the terminal device 20. For example, on the hard disk of the terminal device 20, an application software for displaying a list screen of items stored in the screen display item selection table 102 (hereinafter referred to as “display item screen”) on a display or a display item screen is displayed. Application software for registering an item selected as a user display item by the user in the user display item table 103 from among the items displayed is stored.

  The hard disk of the terminal device 20 stores application software for displaying the item content for the item selected by the user. When the CPU of the terminal device 20 executes the application software, the terminal device 20 functions as the selection item content display unit 21 illustrated in FIG. In response to a user instruction, the selection item content display unit 21 acquires item contents for items stored in the user display item table 103 of the database server 10 from the component information DB 101 and displays them on the display. Specifically, for example, when the user operates the keyboard or the like of the terminal device 20 to give an instruction to display all item contents of the component information DB 101 without attaching a search condition, the selection item content display unit 21 sends an item content acquisition request to the database server 10. When receiving the item content acquisition request, the CPU of the database server 10 reads out the user display item group corresponding to the group selected by the user display item group selection unit 13 from the user display item table 103. The CPU of the database server 10 reads the item content for the read user display item group from the component information DB 101 and transmits it to the terminal device 20. The selected item content display unit 21 of the terminal device 20 edits the received item content to generate a search result list screen and displays it on the display. In addition to the instruction to display all the item contents of the component information DB 101, the user can also input a search condition and give a search instruction to narrow down the item contents to be displayed.

  In FIG. 6, a user display item group including user display items “model name”, “manufacturer name”, “material code”, “status”, “stock unit price”, and “order unit price” is displayed as a user display item. An example of a search result list when selected by the group selection unit 13 is shown. In this way, by selecting and selecting user display items, information to be displayed is accommodated in one screen, and the user does not need to perform a horizontal scroll operation on the screen, which is convenient.

Next, the first user item setting process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, the user operates the keyboard of the terminal device 20 to log in and gives an instruction to display the display item screen. Thus, the CPU of the terminal device 20 displays the display item screen on the display by reading and executing the application software from the hard disk.

Next, the user operates the keyboard of the terminal device 20 to select a group for setting user display items (step S101). For example, the user selects group A. The user display item group selection unit 13 stores “A” as selection group information in the hard disk.
The user selects one or more user display items to be associated with the group A from the items displayed in a list on the display item screen (step S102).

After selecting the user display item, the user inputs that the selection is complete (step S103). Thereby, the CPU of the terminal device 20 associates the group “A” with the set of user display items selected by the user, and registers them in the user display item table 103 as a user display item group.
After the setting of the user display item for group A is completed, if the user gives an instruction to set another group (step S104; Yes), the process returns to step S101 to perform processing for setting another group. .

When no other group setting is performed (step S104; No), when the user gives an instruction to refresh (reread) the screen (step S105), the selection item content display unit 21 displays the item for the user display item group A. The contents are read from the component information DB 101 of the database server 10 and displayed on the display (step S106).
Here, since the group A is selected as the user display item group by the user display item group selection unit 13, the item content for the user display item group A is displayed as the initial screen from the next login.
In this way, the item content for the user display item group A set by the user is initial until the setting content of the group A is changed or the selection of the display item group to be displayed by the user display item group selection unit 13 is changed. It can be displayed as a screen.

With the above function, only the item content corresponding to the item selected by the user can be displayed, so that only the item content for the required item can be displayed according to the user's usage and work content. In addition, by narrowing down the items to be displayed, it is no longer necessary to perform side-scrolling of the screen, solving problems such as difficult to see the screen, difficult to use, and annoying, and until the item content is displayed after searching Can reduce the time it takes.
In addition, by managing a set of user display items as a single user display item group and making it possible to set a plurality of user display item groups for each user, a user display item group is set according to search conditions. Therefore, the user can switch the screen display flexibly and work efficiently.

Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 8, the flow of processing when logging in for the second time and thereafter after performing the first user item setting process described above will be described.
First, the user logs in by operating the keyboard of the terminal device 20 or the like. Thereby, the selection item content display unit 21 confirms that “A” is stored in the selection group information of the hard disk, and selects the user display item group A as a group to be referred to at the time of search (step S201).
Next, the user inputs a search condition or the like to the terminal device 20 and gives an instruction to display item contents. Thereby, the selection item content display unit 21 reads the item content for the user display item group A from the component information DB 101 of the database server 10 and displays it on the display (step S202).

  When the user gives an instruction to refer to another group, for example, group B (step S203; Yes), the process returns to step S201, and the user display item group selection unit 13 updates the selected group information to “B”. To do. On the other hand, if the user does not refer to another group (step S203; No), the selected group information remains “A” and the process ends.

As described above, even when many items are defined in the component information DB 101, the display items selected by the user are managed as one user display item group, and a plurality of display item groups are set for each user. Therefore, each user can flexibly select a user display item group according to the search condition. Therefore, the user can easily display only desired item contents by switching the screen according to the purpose. Also, depending on the number of items to be displayed, there is no need to perform a horizontal scrolling operation on the screen, and problems such as being difficult to see and using can be solved.
In addition, since unnecessary item contents are not displayed, it is possible to reduce the time taken for the item contents to be displayed after the user gives an instruction.

  In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the component information is managed in the data storage unit 11, but the type of information to be managed is only an example. The types of databases, items defined in the databases, and item contents are merely examples, and can be used for data search display of any database. Moreover, the information display system 1 may be comprised with one apparatus provided with the database and the data display function.
