  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of the screen layout editing process. Note that each step of the following flowchart is executed by the CPU 201 of the program development apparatus 101.

  In step S1001, selection of a target screen whose layout is to be edited is accepted. That is, step S1001 is a step showing an example of processing for receiving an instruction of a screen for displaying a graph. Specifically, the selection of the input / output definition 404 whose screen layout is to be edited is received from the repository definition tree 801 (FIG. 8) in FIG. Here, it is assumed that the user clicks on the input / output definition 404 “JUCHU_DAILY (order quantity daily transition)” (802 in FIG. 8).

  In step S1002, the screen information of the input / output definition 404 that has been selected in step S1001 is acquired. Here, the screen information of the input / output definition 404 “JUCHU_DAILY (order quantity daily transition)” is acquired.

  In step S1003, the layout editing screen is displayed using the screen information acquired in step S1002. Here, the layout editing screen 803 (FIG. 8) of the “order quantity daily transition” screen is displayed using the screen information of the input / output definition 404 “JUCHU_DAILY (order quantity daily transition)”. In the “Order Quantity Daily Transition” screen, it can be seen that the character string “Order Quantity Daily Transition” is arranged as the caption 804 (FIG. 8) of the output part.

  In step S1004, editing of the screen component is accepted. Specifically, a drag operation of an arbitrary part from the input part or output part of the input / output item palette 805 (FIG. 8) and a drop operation to an arbitrary place on the layout editing screen 803 are accepted. Thereby, the screen layout of the application desired by the user can be created.

In step S1005, a graph layout instruction is accepted. Specifically, a drag operation of the graph drawing component icon 806 and a drop operation to an arbitrary place on the layout editing screen 803 are accepted from the input / output item palette 805. Thereby, a graph can be arrange | positioned in the position which a user desires.
In step S1006, a graph drawing component is generated. Details of this processing will be described with reference to FIG.

In step S1007, the graph drawing component generated in step S1006 is placed. That is, by arranging the graph drawing component generated on the screen being edited on the layout editing screen, the screen information being edited is associated with the graph drawing component. That is, step S1107 is a step showing an example of processing for associating the screen information of the screen for which the instruction has been received with the screen information for drawing the generated graph. Step S1107 is a step showing an example of processing for inserting screen information for drawing the generated graph into the screen information of the screen that has received the instruction.
In step S1008, the screen information edited on the layout editing screen is stored in the external memory 211.
Above, description of FIG. 10 is complete | finished.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of the graph drawing component generation process.
In step S1101, the character string included in the screen information is acquired. If it can be acquired, the process proceeds to step S1102, and if it cannot be acquired, the process proceeds to step S1112. That is, step S1001 is a step showing an example of processing for receiving an instruction of a screen for displaying a graph. Specifically, output component information is acquired from screen information on which layout editing is performed, and an included character string is acquired. For example, in the layout edit screen 803 of the “Order Quantity Daily Transition” screen of FIG. 8, the character string “Order Quantity Daily Transition” is arranged as the caption 804 of the output part. "Next transition" is acquired and determined.

  In this embodiment, the character string included in the output component information is acquired. However, the present invention is not limited to this method. For example, the character string is acquired from the file name or title name of the screen information. There may be.

  In step S1102, the character string acquired in step S1101 is analyzed. Specifically, the acquired character string is divided into words. For example, if the acquired character string is “order quantity daily transition”, it is divided into the words “order received”, “quantity”, “daily”, and “transition”.

  In step S1103, the target table (data model) that is the basis of the graph is specified according to the analysis result acquired in step S1101, and if it can be specified, the process proceeds to step S1104, and if it cannot be specified, the process proceeds to step S1105. Specifically, a table including words acquired by analysis is specified. For example, the words “order received”, “quantity”, “daily”, and “transition”, which are analysis results, are not included in the column names of the data structure 603 of the product data model 601, but the data structure 604 of the order data model 602. The column name includes “order” and “quantity”. Therefore, the data model (order data model 602) including the most words obtained by analysis is specified as the target table that is the basis of the graph.

  In the present embodiment, the data model including the most words obtained by analysis is the target table on which the graph is based. However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and a dictionary of similar words is stored in the external memory 211. A method may be used in which a data model including the largest number of similar words obtained by analysis is used as the target table.

  In step S1104, the table specified in step S1103 is displayed (910 in FIG. 9). For example, the order data model 602 is displayed. Thereby, in the application development tool, it is possible to solve the problem that the application developer must select a “target table” for acquiring data used for displaying the graph from the tables existing in the database.

  In step S1105, selection of a target table on which a graph is based is accepted. That is, step S1105 is a step showing an example of processing for accepting selection of a table for acquiring data used for displaying a graph. That is, even if it can be specified in step S1103, the target table on which the graph is based can be changed according to the user's operation. For example, if a “cancel” button is pressed in 910 of FIG. 9, this step S1105 is executed. If a “OK” button is pressed, this step S1105 is not executed.

  That is, when the character string can be acquired in steps S1103 to S1105, a table for acquiring data used for displaying the graph is determined based on the acquired character string, and the character string cannot be acquired. These are steps showing an example of processing for determining a table for acquiring data used for displaying a graph according to the accepted selection.

  In step S1106, the target column of the target table that is the basis of the graph is specified according to the analysis result acquired in step S1101, and if it can be specified, the process proceeds to step S1107, and if it cannot be specified, the process proceeds to step S1108. Specifically, a column including a word acquired by analysis is specified. For example, the words “order received”, “quantity”, “daily”, and “transition”, which are analysis results, are included in “order ID” and “quantity” from the data structure 604 of the order data model 602, respectively. Therefore, the column including the word acquired by the analysis is specified as the target column that is the basis of the graph.

  In this embodiment, the column including the word acquired by the analysis is the target column that is the basis of the graph. However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and the external memory 211 includes a dictionary of similar words. Alternatively, a method may be used in which a column including the most similar words of the word acquired by analysis is the target column.

  In step S1107, the column specified in step S1106 is displayed (920 in FIG. 9). For example, the columns “order ID” and “quantity” in the order data model 602 are displayed. As a result, in the application development tool, it is possible to solve the problem that the application developer must select the “target column” of the target table for acquiring data used for displaying the graph from the tables existing in the database. .

  In step S1108, selection of a target column that is the basis of the graph is accepted. That is, step S1108 is a step showing an example of processing for accepting selection of a column for acquiring data used for displaying a graph from a column of a table that accepts selection. That is, even if it can be specified in step S1106, the target column that is the basis of the graph can be changed according to the user's operation. For example, if a “cancel” button is pressed in 920 in FIG. 9, this step S1108 is executed. If a “OK” button is pressed, this step S1108 is not executed.

  That is, in steps S1106 to S1108, if a character string can be acquired, data used for displaying the graph is determined from the table column determined to acquire data used for displaying the graph based on the acquired character string. This is a step showing an example of a process for determining a column to be acquired and determining a column for acquiring data used for displaying a graph in accordance with an accepted selection when a character string cannot be acquired.

  In step S1109, according to the analysis result acquired in step S1101, the type of graph (eg, bar graph, line graph, pie chart, etc.) is specified. If it can be specified, the process proceeds to step S1110. The process proceeds to S1111. Specifically, the type of graph to be drawn is specified from the words acquired by analysis.

  For example, from the words “daily” and “transition” as analysis results, it is assumed that the monthly transition is drawn as a graph, and is specified as a “line graph”. On the other hand, if there is a word such as “ratio” or “share”, it is specified as “pie graph”.

  In the present embodiment, the graph type is determined according to the word acquired by the analysis. However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and the graph type is determined according to the column name of the column specified in step S1106. The method of determining etc. may be used. For example, the column name “quantity” may be specified as “bar graph”.

  In step S1110, the type of graph specified in step S1109 is displayed (930 in FIG. 9). For example, a “line graph” is displayed. Thereby, in the application development tool, it is possible to solve the problem that the “type of graph” to be displayed by the application developer must be selected.

  In step S1111, selection of a graph type is accepted. That is, step S1111 is a step showing an example of processing for accepting selection of a graph type. That is, even if it can be specified in step S1109, the type of graph can be changed according to the user's operation. For example, when the depression of the “cancel” button is accepted at 930 in FIG. 9, this step S1111 is executed, and when the depression of the “OK” button is accepted, this step S1111 is not executed.

  That is, step S1109 to step S1111 determine the type of graph based on the acquired character string when the character string can be acquired, and according to the received selection when the character string cannot be acquired. It is a step which shows an example of the process which determines the kind of graph.

  In the present embodiment, “target table”, “target column”, and “graph type” are specified according to the analysis result acquired in step S1101, and they are displayed in step S1104, step S1107, and step S1110, respectively. However, the method is not limited to this, and the specified “target table”, “target column”, and “graph type” are displayed together, or the specified “target table”, “target column”, and “graph type” are used. Or a method of displaying a preview of the graph.

As described above, in the application development tool, the problem that the application developer must select the “target table”, “target column”, and “graph type” from which the data used for displaying the graph is obtained from the tables existing in the database Can be solved.
In step S1112, selection of a target table that is a basis of the graph is accepted.
In step S1113, selection of the target column that is the basis of the graph is accepted.
In step S1114, selection of a graph type is accepted.

In step S1115, a part for drawing a graph is generated according to the table, column, and graph type that are the basis of the determined graph. That is, step S1115 is a step showing an example of processing for generating screen information for drawing a graph using data acquired from the determined table. Specifically, a program for drawing a graph is generated when display of the currently edited screen is requested by executing the application. That is, a part for generating a query for acquiring data from the target column of the target table and a part for generating a graph drawing program for drawing as a graph using the data acquired by the query are generated.
