Description

  The present invention records a data processing device that displays a business screen having a plurality of input items and executes data processing using item values input to the input items, and a program used in the data processing device. In particular, the present invention relates to a data processing apparatus that realizes improvement in operability of item value input and a program recording medium that records a program used in the data processing apparatus.

  There is a data processing apparatus that displays a business screen having an input item and executes data processing using an item value input to the input item.

  In conventional data processing devices, when the user selects an input item using a cursor or the like, the input area of the input item is enlarged and displayed at the position of the input item in order to improve the operability of this item value input. It is processed to do.

  When the user inputs an item value in the enlarged input area and presses a predetermined key to confirm the value, the enlarged display is canceled and the input item value is selected as the selected input item. It is set as an input value for and processed so that it is displayed in the original input item.

  However, according to such a conventional technique, when an input item is displayed in an enlarged manner, other related input items that are adjacent to each other may be hidden. There is a problem that the value cannot be referred to.

  And when an input item is enlarged and displayed in a place where similar input items are lined up, it may not be understood which input item the input item in the enlarged display belongs to. There is a problem that incorrect input occurs.

  In order to solve this problem, it is possible to reduce the number of input items deployed on the work screen and design the screen so that such problems do not occur even if the input items are enlarged. When such a method is used, another problem arises that the number of input items of one business screen is limited.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and employs a configuration in which a business screen having a plurality of input items is displayed and data processing is executed using item values input to the input items. An object of the present invention is to provide a new data processing apparatus that realizes improved operability of item value input and to provide a new program recording medium that records a program used in the data processing apparatus.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of the present invention.

  In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a data processing apparatus having the present invention, which displays a business screen having a plurality of input items and executes data processing using item values input to the input items. .

  The data processing apparatus 1 of the present invention includes information about a display unit 2, a screen control unit 3 that executes display control of a business screen displayed on the display unit 2, and an empty space of the business screen displayed on the display unit 2 Storage means 4 for storing.

  The screen control means 3 detects the input item selection, and refers to the information stored in the storage means 4 when the detection means 5 detects the input item selection, thereby displaying the display means 2. Identifying means 6 for identifying the empty space of the business screen displayed on the screen, enlarged display control means 7 for enlarging and displaying the selected input item at the position of the empty space identified by the identifying means 6, and enlarged display control When the item value input to the input item to be enlarged and displayed by the means 7 is determined, the input item in the enlarged display is deleted, and the input item value is set as the input value to the selected input item. Execution means 8.

  Here, the function of the data processing apparatus of the present invention is specifically realized by a program, and this program can be recorded on an appropriate recording medium readable by a computer.

  In the data processing apparatus 1 of the present invention configured as described above, when the user selects an input item of the business screen using a cursor or the like, the position of the free space of the business screen is specified, and the specified empty space is specified. The input area of the input item selected by the user is enlarged and displayed at the space position.

  As described above, in the data processing apparatus of the present invention, when the input item is enlarged to improve the operability of the item value input, the input item is enlarged and displayed at the position of the empty space. It is.

  In the present invention, when improving the operability of item value input by enlarging the input items, processing is performed so that the input items are enlarged and displayed at the position of the empty space. The item value can be input while referring to the item value of the other input item.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to embodiments.

  FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of the data processing apparatus 1 of the present invention.

  As shown in this figure, a data processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes a display 10, an application program 11 for executing prescribed data processing using the display 10, and a compiler incorporated in the application program 11 by a compiler. A screen control program 12 that executes display control of a business screen having a large number of input items as shown in FIG. And an item management table 14 for managing attribute information of each input item of the business screen displayed on the screen 10.

  Here, the screen control program 12 prepared for realizing the present invention can be recorded on an appropriate recording medium readable by a computer.

  An example of the screen management table 13 is shown in FIG. 4, and an example of the item management table 14 is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the screen management table 13 indicates whether or not each business screen has a free space and, if there is a free space, its output coordinates (not shown). And the number of input items (the range of item IDs) that the business screen has.

  On the other hand, in the item management table 14, as shown in FIG. 5, for each input item of each business screen, the name of the input item and the ID of the input item (the serial number in the business screen is assigned). And the output coordinates of the input item (not shown but the size is also managed) and the ID of the input item of the same business screen related to the input item.

  6 and 7 illustrate an example of a processing flow executed by the screen control program 12. Next, according to this processing flow, the processing of the present invention will be described in detail.

  When the application program 11 issues a business screen display request, the screen control program 12 first displays a business screen with a display request in step 1 as shown in the processing flow of FIGS. To do.

  Subsequently, in step 2, when a user operation is detected while waiting for a user operation on the displayed business screen, the process proceeds to step 3 to determine whether the user operation is a business screen display end request, When it is determined that it is a business screen display termination request, the process proceeds to step 4 to terminate the business screen display and terminate the processing.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 3 that the user operation is not a request to end the display of the business screen, the process proceeds to step 5 where the user operation is the movement of the cursor, thereby moving the cursor to the position of the input item held by the business screen If it is determined whether or not the cursor has moved to the position of the input item on the business screen, the process proceeds to step 6 to obtain the output coordinates of the input item pointed to by the cursor from the item management table 14 Then evacuate it.

  Subsequently, in step 7, it is determined whether or not there is an empty space in the displayed business screen by referring to the screen management table 13, and when it is determined that there is an empty space, the process proceeds to step 8. The output coordinates of the empty space are acquired from the screen management table 13.

  Subsequently, in step 9, the input area of the input item pointed to by the cursor is enlarged and displayed at the position of the empty space designated by the acquired output coordinates, and the process returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation.

  That is, when a business screen as shown in FIG. 8A (a business screen whose screen ID is registered in the screen management table 13 / item management table 14) is displayed, the cursor is placed on the input item A. When moved, as shown in FIG. 8B, the input area of the input item A is enlarged and displayed at the position of the empty space of the business screen.

  At this time, as shown by a broken line in the figure, the enlarged input area is displayed using a display form that can identify which input item is the enlarged input area. Yes.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 7 that there is no empty space on the displayed business screen, the process proceeds to step 10 to refer to the screen management table 13 to determine the number of input items held by the displayed business screen. In addition to acquisition, by referring to the item management table 14, information on a related item (an input item having relevance to the input item) of the input item pointed to by the cursor is acquired.

  Subsequently, in step 11 (the processing flow of FIG. 7), one input item that is not related to the input item pointed to by the cursor is determined from the acquired number of input items and the acquired related item.

  4 and FIG. 5, when the input item R is selected by the cursor when the business screen with the screen ID 2 is displayed, the control table of FIG. By referring to the screen management table 13, it is acquired that the number of input items of the business screen is 11, and by referring to the item management table 14 of FIG. 5, it is input as a related item of the input item R. When items 2, 5, and 7 (input items L, O, and Q) are acquired, by selecting, for example, input item A from the remaining eight input items, the relationship with the input item pointed to by the cursor is obtained. One input item that does not have is determined.

  Subsequently, in step 12, by referring to the item management table 14, the output coordinates of the determined unrelated input items are acquired. Subsequently, in step 13, the input area of the input item pointed to by the cursor is enlarged and displayed at the position of the unrelated input item designated by the acquired output coordinates, and the process returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation.

  That is, when the business item screen as shown in FIG. 10A is displayed and the cursor is moved to the input item R, as shown in FIG. The input area of the input item R is enlarged and displayed at the position of the input item A that does not have.

  At this time, as shown by a broken line in the figure, the enlarged input area is displayed using a display form that can identify which input item is the enlarged input area. Yes.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 5 that the user operation is not a movement of the cursor, the process proceeds to step 14 to determine whether or not the user operation is an input of an item value to the input item displayed in an enlarged manner. When it is determined that the input is an item value, the process proceeds to step 15 to display the item value input by the user on the enlarged input item, and then returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation. .

  That is, when the item value “Tokyo” is input to the input item displayed in an enlarged manner as shown in FIG. 8B, the item value “Tokyo” is changed as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the enlarged input item. Further, when the item value “sales” is input to the input item that is enlarged as shown in FIG. 10B, the item value “sales” is enlarged as shown in FIG. 11A. It is displayed on the displayed input item.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step 14 that the user operation is not input of an item value, the process proceeds to step 16 to determine whether or not the return key for confirming the item value input by the user is operated. When it is determined that the user has operated the return key, the process proceeds to step 17 to acquire the output coordinates of the input item saved in step 6 (original output coordinates of the input item that is the source of the enlarged display).

  Subsequently, in step 18, the enlarged display input item is deleted, and the item value input from the user displayed in the input item is confirmed and displayed in the original input item indicated by the acquired output coordinates. The process returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation.

  That is, when the user operates the return key while inputting the item value “Tokyo” input from the user in the form shown in FIG. 9A, as shown in FIG. The input item of the enlarged display is deleted, and the input item value “Tokyo” is displayed in the original input item. In addition, when the user operates the return key while inputting the item value “sales” input from the user in the form as shown in FIG. 11A, as shown in FIG. The displayed input item is erased, and the input item value of “sales” is displayed on the original input item.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 16 that the user has not operated the return key, the process proceeds to step 19 to execute processing instructed by the user operation, and then to step 2 to wait for the next user operation. Return.

  In this way, when there is an empty space on the displayed business screen, the screen control program 12 inputs an item value by enlarging the input area of the input item pointed to by the cursor at the position of the empty space. When there is no free space, input the item value by enlarging the input area of the input item pointed to by the cursor at the position of the input item not related to the input item pointed to by the cursor. Is processed.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration is such that the attribute information of the business screen is managed by the screen management table 13 and the attribute information of the input item is managed by the item management table 14, but as shown in FIG. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which these pieces of attribute information are managed by a single table.

  Here, in the management table shown in FIG. 12, for each input item, one input item of the same business screen that is not related to the input item is managed in advance as an unrelated item, and in accordance with this management mode. The configuration is such that the management of the number of input items on the business screen is omitted.
