(Embodiment 1)
The first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<Configuration of List Display Device of First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a list display device according to the present embodiment. The list display device 10 according to the present embodiment is a device that displays a list on a GUI of application software, and is configured by, for example, a computer device equipped with Windows or the like.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the list display device 10 according to the present exemplary embodiment includes an input unit 11, a display unit 12, a storage unit 13, and a control unit 14. The input unit 11 is an input device for a user to perform an input operation, and includes, for example, a mouse or a keyboard.

  The display unit 12 is a display device that displays a GUI such as a list display screen 110 including a list, and includes, for example, a liquid crystal display. The storage unit 13 is a storage device that stores programs necessary for the operation of the control unit 14 such as a list display program and list data, and various types of data, and includes, for example, a hard disk and a memory.

  The control unit 14 is a control unit that controls the operation of the list display device 10, and displays the list display screen 110 on the display unit 12 in accordance with the program and data in the storage unit 13 and the input operation of the input unit 11. For example, the control unit 14 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that can execute a program.

  The control unit 14 includes a list display unit 101, a row selection unit 102, a sort unit 103, a display size adjustment unit 104, and a display position adjustment unit 105 in order to realize main functions of the list display device 10. The functions of these units are realized by the control unit 14 executing a list display program stored in the storage unit 13. Note that other configurations may be used as long as a list display method according to the present embodiment described later can be realized.

  The list display unit 101 displays a list including a plurality of rows stored in the storage unit 13 on the list display screen 110 of the display unit 12. The line selection unit 102 selects a target line that is one of the lines in the list displayed on the list display screen 110 in accordance with a user operation. The sort unit 103 sorts the list on the list display screen 110 based on the item (row data) selected by the user.

  The display size adjustment unit 104 adjusts the display size at which the sorted list is displayed on the list display screen 110 in accordance with a user operation. The display position adjustment unit 105 adjusts the display position at which the selected target row is displayed on the list display screen 110 in accordance with a user operation. Note that although an example in which the display size and the display position are adjusted is described in this embodiment, only the display size may be adjusted. As will be described later, even when at least the display size is adjusted, a list including the target row can be displayed on the list display screen 110.

<List display method of reference example>
Here, in order to deepen the understanding of the present embodiment, a list display method of a reference example serving as a reference of the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the list display method of the reference example, first, the list display device 10 displays the list display screen 110 (S101), and displays the list on the list display screen 110 (S102). By a user operation on the displayed list display screen 110, a specific target line in the list is selected (S103), and an item to be sorted is selected (S104).

  The list display device 10 sorts the list by the selected item (S105). At this time, if the target row selected by the user is displayed on the displayed list display screen 110 (Yes in S106), the process ends. If the target line is not displayed on the list display screen 110 (No in S106), scrolling of the list display is executed according to the user's scroll operation (S107), and the process is repeated until the target line is displayed.

  As described above, in the reference example, when the target row selected on the list display screen 110 is not displayed as a result of the user selecting and sorting the rows on the list display screen 110, the user needs to scroll. For this reason, it is not possible to easily grasp where the target line is in the list. Therefore, in the reference example, there is a problem that visibility is poor and it is difficult to search for data.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is possible to improve visibility and searchability by displaying the list sorting result in an easy-to-understand manner for the user.

  According to the method of Patent Document 1, the object is centered on the display center and the display objects before and after are densely sampled to improve the searchability. However, the similarity between the objects before and after is not necessarily the same. Rather, considering that there is a bias, display centering on the object is not always balanced and easy to see.

<List display method of Embodiment 1>
Next, the list display method according to the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 3 with reference to the screen display examples shown in FIGS. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same components.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the list display method according to the present embodiment, first, the list display unit 101 displays the list display screen 110 on the display unit 12 (S201). FIG. 4 shows an example of the list display screen 110 displayed at this time.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the list display screen 110 displays a column header A01 indicating list column attributes, a list display area A02 displaying list information, and a list not displayed in the list display area A02. A scroll bar A03 is provided. For example, the list to be displayed includes the date corresponding to the model name of the product used by the user, and the user searches the list for the line containing the corresponding model name and date.

  Furthermore, the list display screen 110 includes a display position selection button A04 indicating a display position candidate for switching the display position of the selected target line, and a list box A05 for determining a range (range) to be displayed as a feature of the present embodiment. ing. For example, the list display unit 101 displays the list in the list display area A02, the display size adjustment unit 104 adjusts the display size of the list within the range specified by the list box A05, and the display position adjustment unit 105 displays the display. Adjustment is performed so that the target line is displayed at the position designated by the position selection button A04.

  The display position selection button A04 is a radio button for designating the display position (also referred to as position) of the target line in the list display direction from the upper part to the lower part of the list display area A02. The button “Current” is a button for the user to directly specify the target row in the list display area A02. The button “Top” displays the target line at the top of the list display area A02, the button “Center” displays the target line at the center of the list display area A02, and the button “Bottom” at the bottom of the list display area A02. This button is used to display the target line. Note that any position other than “Top”, “Center”, and “Bottom” may be designated.

  The list box A05 is a drop-down list for designating the range of the list displayed in the list display area A02, that is, the ratio of the rows to be displayed with respect to all the rows of the list. For example, when 100% is specified in the list box A05, the character size and line spacing are automatically adjusted, and all lines of the list are displayed in the list display area A02. The list range may be selected from a predetermined range, or an arbitrary range may be input. Further, not only the range but also the number of lines to be displayed may be specified.

  In this embodiment, an example of sorting by one column header is shown for the sake of simplicity. However, it is easy to adopt the list display method according to this embodiment even in a sorting condition by a combination of a plurality of column headers. I understand. For example, when sorting is performed with the first sort condition as “date” and there is a list with the same date, the list part with the same date may be arranged in order of model name with the second sort condition as “model name”.

  Subsequently, the list display unit 101 displays a list on the list display screen 110 (S202). FIG. 5 shows an example of information of the entire list to be displayed in the list display area A02 of the list display screen 110.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the list L01 is composed of 20 rows of data, and each row is arranged in ascending order of the numbers in the “No” column of the column header A01. Then, 10 lines (for example, from the 1st line to the 10th line) in the list L01 are displayed in the list display area A02 of the list display screen 110.

  Here, consider a case where the user searches the list L01 for a target “model name” row as a target row and performs an operation for obtaining information on a list of “model names” similar to the target row. First, when the target line is not found in the list currently displayed in the list display area A02, the user operates the scroll bar A03 to display a line that is not displayed. Then, the line selection unit 102 selects a specific target line in the displayed list according to the user's operation (S203). FIG. 6 shows a display example at this time.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user operates the scroll bar A03, scrolling is performed so that the “No” column in the list L01 displays the rows 11 to 20. At this time, assuming that “model name = CA-01-A” of “No = 20” is found as the target row, the user operates the mouse and clicks the found target row with the mouse pointer D01. In response to the click operation, the row selection unit 102 selects the target row and reversely displays the background color of the target row.

  Subsequently, the sorting unit 103 selects an item to be sorted in accordance with a user operation (S204), and executes list sorting by the selected item (S205). As shown in FIG. 6, after the user selects the target row, any item of the column header A01 is selected.

  For example, the user clicks the “model name” portion of the column header A01 with the mouse pointer D01 in order to obtain a list of “model names” similar to the target row. In response to this operation, the sorting unit 103 executes sorting to obtain a list sorted by “model name”. Alternatively, a method of selecting the target line and sorting by the “model name” at the same time by clicking the “model name” portion during the selection operation for inverting the background color of the target line may be adopted. Further, as the sort order, the ascending order and the descending order may be toggled and displayed whenever the column header A01 is clicked. FIG. 7 shows the result of sorting the list L01 of FIG. 5 by “model name” in ascending order. Ten lines (for example, from the first line to the tenth line) of the sorted list L01 may be displayed in the list display area A02 of the list display screen 110.

  Subsequently, the display size adjustment unit 104 determines whether or not the range has been changed (S206), and when the range has been changed by a user operation, changes the display size of the list displayed on the list display screen 110 (S207). ). FIG. 8 shows an example of the display of the sorting result at this time.

  As shown in FIG. 8, for example, when the user designates “Range” in the list box A05 of the list display screen 110 as 100%, all 20 lines of the sorted list L01 shown in FIG. 7 are displayed in the list display area A02. To do. This makes it possible to confirm where the target line clicked with the mouse pointer D01 shown in FIG. 6 is located in the entire list. For example, if the range is specified as 20%, four lines of the list L01 (for example, the first to fourth lines) are displayed, if specified as 50%, 10 lines of the list L01 are displayed, and if specified as 70%, the list L01 is displayed. Display 14 lines. At this time, the list may be displayed so that the target row is displayed in the list display area A02. For example, four, ten, or fourteen lines including the target line at an arbitrary position may be displayed.

  Subsequently, the display position adjustment unit 105 determines whether or not the position has been changed (S208), and changes the display position of the target line displayed on the list display screen 110 when the position has been changed by a user operation (S208). S209). 9 to 11 show display examples at this time.

  As in the example of FIG. 9, when the user selects “Center” with the display position selection button A04 on the list display screen 110, the highlighted target line is displayed in the center of the list display area A02 as shown in FIG. At this time, since the “Range” setting becomes the original state (“Current” setting), the list display returns from the 20th line to the 10th line. The list may be displayed without changing the range setting. According to the present embodiment, the display position of the target row can be sequentially changed by changing the selection of the display position selection button A04 after sorting.

  Further, as in the example of FIG. 10, when the user selects “Top” with the display position selection button A04 on the list display screen 110, the target row is displayed at the top of the list display area A02. Thereby, the visibility in the case of wanting to see the line following the target line can be enhanced.

  Furthermore, as in the example of FIG. 11, when the user selects “Bottom” with the display position selection button A04 on the list display screen 110, the target row is displayed at the bottom of the list display area A02. Thereby, the visibility in the case of looking at the line ahead of the target line can be enhanced.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the process is to be terminated (S210), and S206 to S209 are repeated until the process is terminated by a user operation. When the display size is changed (S207) after changing the display position (S209), the display position setting of the target line may be returned to the original state ("Current" setting), and the display size may be changed. The display size may be changed while maintaining the setting of the display position of the target row. By fixing the display position of the target line, the display size can be changed in a state where the target line is reliably displayed.

<Effect of Embodiment 1>
As described above, in the present embodiment, in a list display device that displays a list on the screen, after selecting a target line according to a user operation and performing sorting, the selected target line remains within the screen even after sorting. The display size of the list can be adjusted so that it can be displayed, and the display position can be adjusted. As a result, the list can be displayed by instantaneously switching to a display position that improves visibility without losing sight of the target row after sorting.

  In the present embodiment, the object to be selected by the user can specify the display method by the user after sorting, so that the result of sorting can be easily confirmed, and the user considers the display balance. There is no need to fine-tune the position. The effect obtained especially when dealing with a huge data list is great.

  In addition to preventing the object from being missed by sorting, this embodiment enables an overview of the entire sorting result and eliminates the trouble of finely adjusting the display position. Thereby, there is an effect of improving the visibility and searchability of the sorting result, which is difficult with the prior art.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
