Abstract

To provide a display control program for increasing the efficiency of eliminating a state that a window is not normally displayed.SOLUTION: In the processing procedure of a window display process, an activation part activates an executable format file (hereafter, the target program) that corresponds to a window to be displayed (hereafter, the target window), out of the executable format files of a program stored in a program storage part, as a process (S201). The target program starts a process for displaying the target window, and the activation part stores the activation time of the target program in a memory device. An elapsed time measuring part starts measuring an elapsed time from the activation time (S202). When it is detected by the elapsed time measuring part that the elapsed time has exceeded an average time that corresponds to the target window (Yes in S204) before the display of the target window is complete (No in S203), a finish button display control part displays a finish button for terminating the process of the target program (S205).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Description

  The present invention relates to a display control program, a display control method, and a display control apparatus.

  Some applications have a screen that includes multiple windows. When any window is modified in such an application, a test is also required for other windows in order to confirm whether there is any degradation due to the modification.

  In order to reduce the burden of such a test, it is conceivable to distinguish an executable file (exe file or the like) of a program for each window. By doing so, the independence of each window can be increased, and the influence on other windows due to modification of one of the windows can be reduced. Also, when any window is not displayed normally during operation in the user environment (for example, when the window is frozen during the display process of the window), a program (process) corresponding to the window By using a task manager or the like to terminate the process, the user can continue the business.

  However, when the executable file of a program is distinguished for each window, a plurality of programs (processes) are activated when a plurality of windows are displayed. Since the user generally does not know which program (exe file) corresponds to which window, in a situation where there are windows that are not displayed normally, the program corresponding to the window is uniquely identified Can not do it. In this case, a possible countermeasure for the user is to terminate all the programs related to the application, but such a countermeasure is not efficient.

  Therefore, in one aspect, an object of the present invention is to provide efficient elimination of a state where a window is not normally displayed.

  In one aspect, the display control program for displaying a screen including a plurality of windows displayed by execution of each of the plurality of programs causes the computer to execute display of a first window of the plurality of windows. When the display of the first window is not completed even if the process for starting the first program and the elapsed time from the start of the first program exceed a threshold value, a predetermined display component is displayed. Only the first program while continuing the display of the screen including the second window displayed by executing the second program other than the first program according to the processing and the operation of the predetermined display component And causing the computer to execute the process of terminating the process.

  As one aspect, it is possible to efficiently eliminate the state where the window is not normally displayed.

FIG.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a management server 20 and one or more user terminals 10. The management server 20 and each user terminal 10 are connected via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet. For example, the information processing system 1 is operated in an organization such as a company, a hospital, or a government office (hereinafter referred to as “organization A”).

  The user terminal 10 is a terminal that provides a user interface (hereinafter referred to as “business system screen”) of a computer system (hereinafter referred to as “business system”) related to business in the organization A to the staff of the organization A. . For example, a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet terminal, a smartphone, or the like may be used as the user terminal 10. An electronic medical record system is an example of a business system.

  The management server 20 is one or more computers that manage the history of the time required to display each window constituting the business system screen, the statistical information related to the history, and the like. A business system server (for example, an electronic medical record system server) may also serve as the management server 20.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the user terminal 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The user terminal 10 in FIG. 2 includes a drive device 100, an auxiliary storage device 102, a memory device 103, a CPU 104, an interface device 105, a display device 106, an input device 107, and the like that are mutually connected by a bus B.

  A program for realizing processing in the user terminal 10 is provided by the recording medium 101. When the recording medium 101 on which the program is recorded is set in the drive device 100, the program is installed from the recording medium 101 to the auxiliary storage device 102 via the drive device 100. However, the program need not be installed from the recording medium 101 and may be downloaded from another computer via a network. The auxiliary storage device 102 stores the installed program and also stores necessary files and data.

  The memory device 103 reads the program from the auxiliary storage device 102 and stores it when there is an instruction to start the program. The CPU 104 realizes functions related to the user terminal 10 in accordance with a program stored in the memory device 103. The interface device 105 is used as an interface for connecting to a network. The display device 106 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) or the like by a program. The input device 107 is a keyboard, a mouse, or the like, and is used for inputting various operation instructions.

  An example of the recording medium 101 is a portable recording medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD disk, or a USB memory. An example of the auxiliary storage device 102 is an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or a flash memory. Both the recording medium 101 and the auxiliary storage device 102 correspond to computer-readable recording media.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the information processing system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the user terminal 10 includes an average time acquisition unit 11, an activation unit 12, an elapsed time measurement unit 13, an end button display control unit 14, an end unit 15, a display detection unit 16, a display time calculation unit 17, and a display time transmission. Part 18 and the like. Each of these units is realized by processing that one or more programs installed in the user terminal 10 cause the CPU 104 to execute. The user terminal 10 also uses the program storage unit 111. The program storage unit 111 can be realized using, for example, the auxiliary storage device 102 or a storage device that can be connected to the user terminal 10 via a network.

  The average time acquisition unit 11 acquires from the management server 20 an average value (hereinafter referred to as “average time”) of the required time for displaying each window constituting the business system screen. The time required to display a window refers to the time required from the start of the program that displays the window until the display of the window is completed. Completing the display of the window means that the window is ready to accept an input from the user.

  The activation unit 12 activates an execution format file (for example, an exe file) of a program corresponding to the window as a process for each window constituting the business system screen. That is, in the present embodiment, the program for causing the user terminal 10 to display the window differs for each window constituting the business system screen. Note that the windows that make up the business system screen include windows that are displayed in response to operations on the basic screen in addition to the windows that make up the basic screen that is displayed in response to an instruction to start using the business system. .

  The elapsed time measuring unit 13 measures the elapsed time since the activation of each program activated by the activation unit 12. The elapsed time measurement continues until the display of the window corresponding to the activated program is completed.

  When the elapsed time measured by the elapsed time measuring unit 13 exceeds the threshold, the end button display control unit 14 is a predetermined display component for receiving from the user an instruction to end the program for displaying the window related to the elapsed time. (Hereinafter referred to as “end button”) is displayed on the display device 106. In the present embodiment, the average time of the window is used as the threshold value. That is, the threshold value is set for each window.

  The end unit 15 forcibly ends the process of the program corresponding to the end button in response to an operation (for example, click, touch, or press) of the end button by the user.

  The display detection unit 16 detects the completion of window display by the program activated by the activation unit 12. For example, the display detection unit 16 may detect the completion of the display of the window based on the notification of the completion of the display of the window from the program. Or the display detection part 16 may monitor the display content of the display apparatus 106, and may detect the completion of the display of the said window based on the change of the said display content.

  The display time calculation unit 17 calculates the time required to display the window in which the display completion is detected by the display detection unit 16 (hereinafter referred to as “display time”). Specifically, the display time calculation unit 17 displays, from the time when the program is activated by the activation unit 12 (hereinafter referred to as “activation time”), the display detection unit 16 displays the completion of the display of the window related to the program. The elapsed time up to the time when completion is detected (hereinafter referred to as “completion time”) is calculated as the display time.

  The display time transmission unit 18 includes identification information (hereinafter referred to as “window ID”) of a window whose display completion is detected by the display detection unit 16, a display time calculated by the display time calculation unit 17 regarding the window, The activation time and completion time related to the display time are transmitted to the management server 20.

  On the other hand, the management server 20 includes a display time receiving unit 21 and an average time calculating unit 22. Each of these units is realized by processing that one or more programs installed in the management server 20 cause the CPU of the management server 20 to execute. The management server 20 also uses a display time storage unit 211, an average time storage unit 212, and the like. Each of these storage units can be realized using, for example, an auxiliary storage device of the management server 20 or a storage device that can be connected to the management server 20 via a network.

  The display time receiving unit 21 receives the window ID, display time, activation time, and completion time transmitted from the display time transmitting unit 18 and stores the received information in the display time storage unit 211. Accordingly, the display time storage unit 211 stores a history such as a display time for a window that has been displayed.

  The average time calculation unit 22 calculates the average time for each window (for each window ID) based on the display time history stored in the display time storage unit 211. The average time calculation unit 22 stores the average time calculated for each window in the average time storage unit 212 in association with the window ID of the window. Therefore, the average time storage unit 212 stores the average time for each window.

  Hereinafter, a processing procedure executed in the information processing system 1 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a processing procedure executed by the user terminal 10.

  In response to the basic screen activation instruction input by the user, the average time acquisition unit 11 acquires the average time of each window constituting the business system screen from the average time storage unit 212 of the management server 20 (S101).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the average time storage unit 212. As shown in FIG. 5, the average time storage unit 212 stores a window ID and an average time for each window constituting the business system screen. In step S101, all window IDs and average times in the average time storage unit 212 are acquired.

  Subsequently, the user terminal 10 executes a window display process for each window constituting the basic screen (S102). As a result, the basic screen is displayed on the display device 106.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the basic screen. As shown in FIG. 6, the window Wa, the window Wb, the window Wc, and the window Wd form a basic screen. In addition, the code | symbol of each window corresponds with window ID of each window for convenience. When viewed from the user, each window is arranged so as to be seen as an area that divides the basic screen.

  Thereafter, when an instruction to display a new window is input by a user operation on the basic screen or the like (Yes in S103), the user terminal 10 executes window display processing for the window (S104).

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a state in which a new window is displayed. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those in FIG. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the window We is displayed so as to be superimposed on the basic screen.

  Next, details of steps S102 and S104 will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the processing procedure of the window display processing. In FIG. 8, the display target window is referred to as a “target window”.

  In step S201, the activation unit 12 activates, as a process, an execution format file (hereinafter referred to as “target program”) corresponding to the target window among the execution format files of the programs stored in the program storage unit 111. When the target program is activated, the target program starts processing for displaying the target window. The processing includes processing for acquiring information displayed on the target window from a database or the like in addition to processing for constructing the GUI of the target window. Note that the activation unit 12 stores the activation time of the target program in the memory device 103.

  Subsequently, the elapsed time measurement unit 13 starts measuring the elapsed time from the activation time (S202). Before the display of the target window is completed (before the display detection unit 16 receives a display completion notification of the target window) (No in S203), the elapsed time measurement unit 13 sets the average time corresponding to the target window to the elapsed time. Is detected (Yes in S204), the end button display control unit 14 displays an end button for ending the process of the target program (S205). At this time, the end button display control unit 14 associates the process ID of the target program with the end button. Note that the average time corresponding to the target window refers to the average time associated with the window ID of the target window among the average times acquired in step S101 of FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the end button. FIG. 9 shows an example in which the window We is the target window and the elapsed time exceeds the average time of the window We in a state where the window We is displayed halfway, and therefore the end button Be is displayed. ing. The state in which the window We is displayed halfway is, for example, that it takes time for the communication for acquiring the information displayed in the window We or the load on the server managing the information is high. This occurs when it takes time for the search or when the user terminal 10 has a high load and thus it takes time to display the information. Or, when a failure occurs in a network, a server, or the like related to the acquisition of the information, the state can occur.

  Subsequently, when the end button is pressed by the user (Yes in S206), the end unit 15 forcibly ends only the process (in this case, the process of the target program) related to the process ID associated with the end button. (S207). As a result, only the target window (window We in the example of FIG. 9) that has been displayed halfway is not displayed. In other words, the display of windows other than the target window continues. Subsequently, the end button display control unit 14 deletes the end button (S208). As a result, the end button is not displayed. In this case, steps S211 and S212, which will be described later, are not executed, and the process of FIG. 8 ends.

  On the other hand, before the end button is pressed by the user (No in S206), when the display detection unit 16 receives a display completion notification of the target window from the target program (Yes in S209), the end button display control unit 14 The end button being displayed is erased corresponding to the target window (S210). As a result, the end button is not displayed. Then, it progresses to step S211.

  Further, before the elapsed time exceeds the average time of the target window (No in S204), when the display detection unit 16 receives a notification of completion of display of the target window from the target program (Yes in S203), the end button is displayed. The process proceeds to step S211 without being executed.

  In steps S203 and S209, the display detection unit 16 stores, in the memory device 103, the time when the notification of completion of display of the target window is received as the completion time.

  In step S211, the display time calculation unit 17 calculates the display time of the target window by subtracting the activation time from the completion time stored in the memory device 103 (S211). Subsequently, the display time transmission unit 18 transmits the window ID of the target window, the activation time, the completion time, and the display time to the management server 20 (S212). Hereinafter, information including the window ID of the target window, the activation time, the completion time, and the display time is referred to as display time information.

  Thus, only when the display of the target window is completed, the display time information of the target window is transmitted to the management server 20.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining an example of a processing procedure executed by the management server 20.

  When receiving the display time information (Yes in S301), the display time receiving unit 21 of the management server 20 generates a record including the display time information, and stores the record in the display time storage unit 211 (S302).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the display time storage unit 211. As shown in FIG. 11, the display time storage unit 211 stores a history of display time information of each window.

  Subsequently, the average time calculation unit 22 calculates the average value (average time) of the display time regarding the window ID (hereinafter referred to as “target window ID”) included in the display time information received in step S301. (S303). Specifically, the average time calculation unit 22 acquires all display times associated with the window ID and stored in the display time storage unit 211. The average time calculation unit 22 calculates an average value of the acquired display times. Note that the display time to be acquired may be limited to the latest N display times or the like, not all the display times stored in the display time storage unit 211 in association with the window ID.

  Subsequently, the average time calculation unit 22 stores the calculated average time in the average time storage unit 212 (FIG. 5) in association with the target window ID (S304). When the average time corresponding to the target window ID is already stored in the average time storage unit 212, the already stored average time is updated (replaced) with the newly calculated average time.

  In the above, an example in which the average time is used as the threshold value has been shown, but other statistics based on the display time history such as the maximum value or median value of the display time for each window may be used as the threshold value.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a time exceeding the threshold has elapsed until the window is displayed normally, only the window can be closed (only the program corresponding to the window is terminated). End button is displayed. By operating the end button, the user can close only the window while continuing to display other windows. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently eliminate the state where the window is not normally displayed.

  As a result, the user does not need to close other windows that are normally displayed, so that the operation using the other windows can be continued and the efficiency of the operation can be expected.

  Moreover, since this Embodiment can be implemented in a user's actual operation environment, a threshold value can be determined for each user's actual operation environment. The display time of each window depends on the performance of the user terminal 10 and business system server used in each actual operating environment, network performance, and the like. Therefore, since the threshold value can be determined for each actual operating environment of the user, it is possible to determine a state in which the window is not normally displayed based on the threshold value suitable for each actual operating environment.

  In the present embodiment, the user terminal 10 is an example of a computer or a display control device. The end button display control unit 14 is an example of a display control unit. The program corresponding to each window is an example of a first program or a second program. Each window is an example of a first window or a second window.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Deformation / change is possible.
