<1. Overview of Information Processing Apparatus According to Embodiment of Present Invention>
Below, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the outline | summary of the information processing apparatus 1 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention generates various business screens that guide office work to an operator in an office navigation system that supports office work performed in a financial institution such as a bank. Information processing apparatus.

[1.1. Appearance example of information processing device]
First, an external appearance example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the appearance of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, an information processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is connected to a display device 3 and input devices 5A and 5B.

  The information processing apparatus 1 generates and controls a screen displayed by the display device 3 based on inputs from the input devices 5A and 5B. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 generates various business screens to be displayed by the display device 3, and controls the displayed business screens based on inputs from the input devices 5A and 5B from the operator. The screen generated by the information processing apparatus 1 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The display device 3 displays the screen generated by the information processing device 1. The display device 3 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) device, and a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display device. Further, the display device 3 has connection terminals such as a VGA (Video Graphics Array) terminal, a DVI (Digital Visual Interface) terminal, or an optical audio terminal, and information is transmitted by video signal communication cables connectable to the respective terminals. A processing device 1 is connected.

  The input devices 5A and 5B are an input device for an operator to input information such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, a button, a microphone, a switch, and a lever, and an information processing device 1 that generates an input signal based on the input by the operator. An input control circuit that outputs to The input devices 5A and 5B have connection terminals such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminal, an IEEE 1394 terminal, or a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) terminal, for example, by an information communication cable that can be connected to each terminal. The information processing apparatus 1 is connected. Here, the input device 5A is, for example, a keyboard, and the input device 5B is, for example, a mouse.

  In the above description, the information processing apparatus 1, the display apparatus 3, and the input devices 5A and 5B have been described as separate apparatuses, but the present invention is not limited to the above examples. For example, the information processing apparatus 1 may be configured to be combined with at least one of the display device 3 and the input devices 5A and 5B.

[1.2. Screen example generated by information processing device]
Next, an example of a screen generated by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a business screen generated by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the business screen 200 generated by the information processing apparatus 1 is an “account opening form input screen” for guiding an account opening business. The business screen 200 includes an input area 210, a check item area 230, a cursor 240, a “return” button 250 for returning the business screen 200 to the previous screen, and a “ "Confirm" button 260.

  The input area 210 has at least one input field. Specifically, the input area 210 includes a kanji name input field 211, a kana name input field 212, an address input field 213, a date of birth input field 214, a nationality input field 215, and a remarks input field 216. In each input field, for example, information is input by input using an operator's keyboard.

  Here, the input field is an input field in which information can be freely input by an operator or information can be selected and input from options. For example, the input field is limited to a text box in which the operator can freely enter characters, or a character type that the operator can enter (for example, only half-width kana, only half-width numbers, only half-width alphabets). Etc.) A text box or the like. The input field may be a pull-down box that allows the operator to select information to be input from a list of options. Furthermore, the input field may be a combo box in which the operator can freely input information or select information to be input from a list of options.

  The check item area 230 includes at least one check item. Specifically, the check item area 230 includes a first check item 231 for confirming that “the name is correct”, a second check item 233 for confirming “having entered nationality”, and “there is a special matter. A third check item 235 for confirming whether or not remarks have been input. For each check item, for example, the check state is changed by a click operation using the mouse of the operator.

  Note that each check item included in the check item area 230 is an operation column whose state is changed by an operation by the operator, and thus is not included in the input field described above. Another example of the operation column that is not included in the input field is a radio button, for example.

  The cursor 240 indicates a position where the input information is added when information is input by the operator. Specifically, the cursor 240 is displayed in the Chinese character name input field 211, and indicates that a character is input in the Chinese character name input field 211 when the operator inputs characters using a keyboard or the like. Therefore, in the business screen 200, it can be seen that the Kanji name input field 211 on which the cursor 240 is displayed is set as an input target.

  On the business screen 200 described above, the operator performs necessary office work by inputting necessary items in the input fields of the input area 210 and changing the check items in the check item area 230 to checked. For example, the operator inputs information to each input field of the business screen 200 using a keyboard, and changes each check item to a checked display by clicking with the mouse.

  Here, conventionally, when the operator changes the check state for the check item while inputting information in the input field, the input target is set to the check item for which the check state has been changed. There was a problem. Therefore, in order for the operator to resume the information input to the input field, it is necessary to reset the input field by selecting the input field in which the information is being input again, which is complicated.

  Therefore, the present invention has been conceived by examining the above problems. According to the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when an operator performs an operation on a check item other than the input field, the input field to be input is the same before and after the operation. Can be controlled. In addition, when an operation is performed on a check item other than the input field by the operator, the information processing apparatus 1 can control an input target after the operation based on the input field before the operation.

  Therefore, for example, when the operator changes the check state for the check item in the middle of information input to the input field, the information processing apparatus 1 sets the input target to the input field that is in the middle of information input. Can be changed. With this configuration, the operator can input information into the input field while performing operations on items other than the input field, thereby improving work efficiency.

<2. Internal Configuration of Information Processing Apparatus According to Embodiment of Present Invention>
Next, the internal configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 and the like according to the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the information processing apparatus 1, the display apparatus 3, and the input device 5 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[2.1. Internal configuration of display device and input device]
First, the internal configurations of the display device 3 and the input device 5 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the display device 3 includes a screen information reception unit 301 and a screen display unit 303, and the input device 5 includes an input information transmission unit 501 and an input information acquisition unit 503.

  The screen information receiving unit 301 receives image information displayed by the screen display unit 303 from the information processing apparatus 1. The screen information receiving unit 301 has a device connection interface corresponding to the screen information transmitting unit 103. The screen information receiving unit 301 may include a connection interface such as a VGA terminal, a DVI terminal, or an optical audio terminal, for example.

  The screen display unit 303 displays the screen generated by the screen generation unit 109 of the information processing apparatus 1. For example, the screen display unit 303 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), an OLED, a CRT display, or the like.

  The input information transmission unit 501 transmits the input from the operator acquired by the input information acquisition unit 503 to the information processing apparatus 1. The input information transmitting unit 501 has a device connection interface corresponding to the input information receiving unit 101. The input information transmission unit 501 may include a connection interface such as a USB terminal, an IEEE 1394 terminal, or a SCSI terminal, for example.

  The input information acquisition unit 503 includes a sensor that detects input from the operator, and converts the input operation of the operator into an input signal. The input information acquisition unit 503 may be configured by, for example, a keyboard key, a mouse button, a mouse movement detection sensor, and the like and their control circuits.

[2.2. Internal configuration of information processing apparatus]
Next, the internal configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the information processing apparatus 1 includes an input information receiving unit 101, a screen information transmitting unit 103, a determining unit 105, an input target control unit 107, a screen generating unit 109, and a field information acquiring unit 111. And a field information storage unit 113 and a screen control unit 115.

  The input information receiving unit 101 receives an input operation from the operator from the input device 5. Specifically, the input information receiving unit 101 receives information such as a pressed key such as a keyboard and a moving direction and a moving distance of a mouse from the input device 5. The input information receiving unit 101 may include a connection interface for connecting an external input device such as a USB terminal, an IEEE 1394 terminal, or a SCSI terminal, for example.

  The screen information transmission unit 103 transmits information on a screen to be displayed on the display device 3. Specifically, the screen information transmission unit 103 transmits the screen information generated by the screen generation unit 109 to the display device 3. The screen information transmission unit 103 may include, for example, a connection interface for connecting an external video device such as a VGA terminal, a DVI terminal, or an optical audio terminal.

  The determination unit 105 determines the type of change destination of the input target when an operation involving the change of the input target is performed. Specifically, the determination unit 105 determines whether or not the input target change destination is an input field when an operation involving a change of the input target is performed by the input device 5. For example, the determination unit 105 first determines whether or not the operation performed by the operator on the input device 5 is an operation that involves changing the input target. Next, when the operation performed by the operator is an operation that involves changing the input target, the determination unit 105 determines whether or not the input target change destination by the operation is an input field.

  Note that the operation accompanied by the change of the input target indicates an operation for selecting a target on the business screen 200. For example, the operation accompanied by the change of the input object indicates an operation of selecting and clicking the object by moving the pointer with the mouse, or an operation of selecting the input fields in order by using the tab key and the back tab key of the keyboard.

  The input target control unit 107 controls the input target based on the determination of the determination unit 105. Specifically, the input target control unit 107 performs an operation that involves changing the input target, and when the input target change destination by the operation is not an input field, the input field that is the input target before and after the operation Are controlled so as to be the same. Further, when the change destination of the input target by the operation is an input field, the input target control unit 107 changes the input target to the input field instructed by the operation accompanied by the change of the input target.

  More specifically, the input target control unit 107 performs an operation that involves changing the input target, and when the input target change destination by the operation is not an input field, the input target control unit 107 displays the information stored in the field information storage unit 113. Acquire and change the input target to the input field indicated by the acquired information. The field information storage unit 113 stores information indicating an input field that was an input target before an operation that involves changing the input target by the field information acquisition unit 111 described later. Therefore, the input target control unit 107 can control the input target so that the input fields that are the input target are the same before and after an operation that involves changing the input target.

  In addition to the above, the input target control unit 107 achieves the above-described function by, for example, invalidating the change of the input target due to the operation accompanied by the change of the input target and maintaining the input target state of the input field. May be.

  Furthermore, the function of the input target control unit 107 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen generated by the information processing apparatus 1 after an operation involving changing the input target in FIG. 2 is performed.

  In the business screen 200 shown in FIG. 2, a kanji name input field 211 is an input target, and therefore a cursor 240 is displayed. Here, for example, when the first check item 231 is changed to the checked display 231A by an operation (for example, a click operation with a mouse) that involves changing the input target, the business screen 200 is displayed as the business screen shown in FIG. Transition to 200A. As shown in FIG. 4, on the business screen 200A, a cursor 240A is displayed in the Chinese character name input field 211A, and the Chinese character name input field 211A is an input target. Therefore, in the business screen 200 and the business screen 200A, the input target is controlled so that the input fields that are the input target are the same before and after the operation that involves changing the input target.

  In the business screen 200A, the cursor 240A is displayed at the end of the Chinese character name input field 211A, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the cursor 240A may be displayed at the top of the Chinese character name input field 211A.

  According to such a configuration, the operator can continuously input information into the input field even when the check state is changed for the check item while inputting information into the input field. become. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can improve the work efficiency of the operator.

  Further, the input target control unit 107 obtains information stored in the field information storage unit 113 when an operation involving a change of the input target is performed and the change destination of the input target by the operation is not an input field, The input target may be changed to the input field determined based on the information. Specifically, the input target control unit 107 performs an operation that involves changing the input target, and when the input target change destination by the operation is not an input field, the input target order is determined based on the set input target order. Determine the next ordered input field after the input field. Furthermore, the input target control unit 107 may change the input target for the input field that is determined to be next ordered.

  More specifically, the input target control unit 107 stores the information in the field information storage unit 113 when it is determined that an operation that involves changing the input target is performed and the input target change destination by the operation is not an input field. Get information. Further, the input target control unit 107 changes the input target to the input field that is ordered next to the input field indicated by the information.

  Further, the function of the input target control unit 107 described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen generated by the information processing apparatus 1 after an operation involving changing the input target in FIG. 2 is performed.

  In the business screen 200 shown in FIG. 2, a kanji name input field 211 is an input target, and therefore a cursor 240 is displayed. Here, for example, when the first check item 231 is changed to the checked display 231 </ b> B by an operation (for example, a click operation with a mouse) that involves changing the input target, the business screen 200 is displayed as the business screen shown in FIG. 5. Transition to 200B. As shown in FIG. 5, on the business screen 200B, the cursor 240B is displayed in the kana name input field 212B that is ordered next to the kanji name input field 211B, and the kana name input field 212B is the input target. Yes. Therefore, in the business screen 200 and the business screen 200B, the input field that is the input target after the operation involving the change of the input target is controlled based on the input field that was the input target before the operation involving the change of the input target. Yes.

  According to such a configuration, after the information input to the input field is completed, the operator changes the check state for the check item, so that the input field ordered next to the input field for which the information input has been completed is performed. The input target can be changed automatically. Therefore, the operator can simultaneously perform an operation for changing the input target from the input field for which information input has been completed to the next input field and an operation for changing the check state for the check item by one operation. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can improve the operator's work efficiency.

  Further, the input target control unit 107 may control the cursor position in the input field when the position information of the cursor is stored in the field information storage unit 113 as will be described later. Specifically, when the input target is changed to the input field indicated by the information stored in the field information storage unit 113, the input target control unit 107 further stores the cursor position information stored in the field information storage unit 113. Based on this, the position of the cursor may be changed.

  With reference to FIG. 6, the function of the input object control part 107 mentioned above is further demonstrated. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen generated by the information processing apparatus 1. In the business screen 200C shown in FIG. 6, a kanji name input field 211C is an input target, and a cursor 240C is displayed between “Oki” and “Taro” in the kanji name input field 211C.

  In the business screen 200C, when the check state of the first check item 231C is changed by an operation of the operator, the input target control unit 107 inputs the kanji name so that the input target is the same before and after the operation is performed. The input target is changed to the field 211C. Moreover, the input target control unit 107 inputs the name of the cursor 240C based on the position information of the cursor 240C stored in the field information storage unit 113 so that the cursor position is the same before and after the operation is performed. It may be displayed between “Oki” and “Taro” in the field 211C.

  According to this configuration, when the operator interrupts information input to the input field and changes the check state for the check item, the operator can resume input from the position where the information input is interrupted. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can improve the convenience of information input for the operator input field.

  Here, returning to FIG. 3, the description of the internal configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 is resumed.

  The screen generation unit 109 generates a screen to be displayed on the display device 3. Specifically, the screen generation unit 109 includes an input area 210 having an input field for an operator to input information, and a check item area having a check item to be changed to a checked display when the operator checks a confirmation item. A business screen 200 including 230 is generated. The business screen 200 generated by the screen generation unit 109 is controlled by the screen control unit 115.

  The field information acquisition unit 111 acquires information indicating an input field that is an input target and stores the information in the field information storage unit 113. Specifically, when an input field is selected by an operation that involves changing the input target, the field information acquisition unit 111 acquires information indicating the selected input field and stores the information in the field information storage unit 113. Further, when there is an input field defined as the first input target on the business screen 200, the field information acquisition unit 111 may acquire information indicating the input field and store it in the field information storage unit 113. Good.

  Here, the field information acquisition unit 111 may further acquire the position information of the cursor in the input field and store it in the field information storage unit 113. In such a case, the field information acquisition unit 111 acquires cursor position information when, for example, an input field other than the input field is selected by an operation that involves changing the input target.

  As described above, when the cursor position information is stored in the field information storage unit 113, the input target control unit 107 determines the input field and cursor position to be input before and after an operation that involves changing the input target. Control is performed to be the same. Therefore, it is preferable that the field information acquisition unit 111 acquires the position information of the cursor when a field other than the input field is selected by an operation that involves changing the input target.

  However, the timing at which the field information acquisition unit 111 acquires cursor position information is not limited to the above example. The field information acquisition unit 111 may acquire cursor position information each time the cursor position is changed.

  The screen control unit 115 controls the screen based on the input made by the operator. Specifically, the screen control unit 115 controls the screen generated by the screen generation unit 109 based on the input made by the operator via the input device 5. For example, when a check item is selected by a mouse click operation or the like, the screen control unit 115 changes the check state of the check item. For example, when information is input from a keyboard or the like to the input field, the screen control unit 115 displays the input information in the input field.

  Further, when there is an input field defined as the first input target in the generated business screen 200, the screen control unit 115 may set the input target in the input field in advance.

[2.3. Summary of internal configuration of information processing apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention]
The internal configuration of the information processing apparatus 1 and the like according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. According to the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when an operation involving a change of an input target is performed and the change destination of the input target is other than an input field, the operation is performed based on the input field before the operation. Later input objects can be controlled.

  Specifically, the information processing apparatus 1 can control the input target so that the input fields that are the input target before and after the operation are the same. The information processing apparatus 1 can also change the input target to the input field that is ordered next to the input field that was the input target before the operation.

  According to the information processing apparatus 1, when an operator inputs information into the input field, the operator continuously inputs information into the input field even when performing operations on items other than the input field. It can be carried out. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 1 can improve the work efficiency for the office work of the operator.

<3. Example of operation of information processing apparatus according to embodiment of the present invention>
Subsequently, an operation example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 7, first, the screen generation unit 109 generates a screen on which information is input by the operator (S101). Next, the screen control unit 115 sets, in advance, an input field defined as the first input target on the screen generated by the screen generation unit 109 (S103). Further, the field information acquisition unit 111 acquires information indicating the input field determined as the first input target and stores the information in the field information storage unit 113 (S105).

  Here, the determination unit 105 determines whether or not an operation involving changing the input target has been performed (S107). When the operation with the change of the input target is not performed (S107 / No), the determination unit 105 loops until the information input is completed and the screen transitions, and the operation with the change of the input target is performed. Repeat the judgment. When an operation involving changing the input target is performed (S107 / Yes), the determination unit 105 further determines whether the target on which the operation is performed is an input field (S109).

  When the operation target is an input field (S109 / Yes), the input target control unit 107 changes the input target to the input field on which the operation involving the change of the input target is performed (S111). Further, the field information acquisition unit 111 acquires information indicating the input field after the change and stores it in the field information storage unit 113 (S113).

  On the other hand, when the operation target is not an input field (S109 / No), the determination unit 105 determines whether or not the target for which the operation involving the change of the input target is a check item ( S115). When the target on which the operation involving the change of the input target has been performed is a check item (S115 / Yes), the screen control unit 115 changes the check state of the check item on which the operation has been performed (S119). After the check state is changed, and when the target for which the operation involving the change of the input target is not a check item (S115 / No), the input target control unit 107 stores it in the field information storage unit 113. The input target is changed to the input field indicated by the information (S117).

  Further, the information processing apparatus 1 executes the operations of S107 to S117 in a loop until the information input is completed and the screen transitions to the screen generated by the screen generation unit 109.

  Note that when the input target control unit 107 changes the input target to the input field determined based on the information stored in the field information storage unit 113, the operation in S117 is changed. Specifically, in S117, the input target control unit 107 determines the input field to be changed to the input target based on the information stored in the field information storage unit 113, and changes the determined input field to the input target. . Here, the input field determined based on the information stored in the field information storage unit 113 is, for example, an input field ordered next to the input field indicated by the information stored in the field information storage unit 113. .
