Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of inputting a fixed value having a predetermined constant value in a system in which a data input area is defined in a table format on a screen.

For example, in an employment management system, etc.,
Data entry such as time to leave the office and time to leave the office is performed by writing in a display area defined in a table format on the screen using an input means. Further, in the employment management system, the regular office work time, leaving time, etc. are standard values, and most of the data entered in the table are standard values.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional fixed value input, as in the case of non-fixed value data input, the cursor is moved to the input area and the input value (fixed value) is input by one digit.

A conventional fixed value input method will be described with reference to FIG. 7 by taking an employment management system as an example. The figure shows the flow of the input screen and input method. In the figure, reference numerals 60, 61, and 62 are input screens for date, time at work, and time at work. 63,
Reference numerals 65 and 66 are display areas, and 64 and 67 are cursors.

A conventional data input method will be described according to the flow shown in the figure. (1) Read the file data. (2) Display the read file data (input screen 60).

(3) Display area 6 for inputting the cursor 64
3 (input screen 60). (4) Input the data in the display area 63 by the input means. For example, the regular attendance time 900 is entered digit by digit.

(5) Data is displayed in the display area 63 (display area 65 of the input screen 61) designated by the cursor on the input screen 60. Furthermore, when data is input to another display area, the cursor is moved to that display area and data is input.

For example, the cursor 67 is moved to the display area 66 of the input screen 62. Then, the leaving time is entered digit by digit using the input means. The above processing is repeated to create time management data such as the day when each staff member leaves the office and leaves the office.

[0009]

As described above, conventionally, even when inputting a standard value, the cursor is moved to the display area for each data and one digit is entered, as in the case of inputting data that is not a standard value. I was typing each.

In a system that often takes a fixed value for the data as described above, moving the cursor for each data to specify the position and input one digit at a time not only results in poor work efficiency but also an input error. It was easy.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fixed value input method that simplifies the input method when inputting fixed values and does not cause input errors.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a standard value input instructing means for inputting a standard value is provided in an input part of a system, and the standard value is automatically set by a simple operation by an instruction of the standard value input means. It was input. Furthermore, for example, when the attendance time is specified as a boilerplate value by a single entry of a boilerplate value, the boilerplate values are also entered for the attendance times of other lines.
I will be forced. Further in that case, not only the display area of a portion or all of the display area of the specified <br/> attendance time of the entire table, as leaving time and attendance time other than attendance time,
Even for other standard values, each standard value is input to a plurality of non-input areas.

FIG. 1 shows the basic configuration of the present invention. In the figure, 2 and 2'are tables for holding data to be displayed on the screen. For example, in the case of an employment management system, daily attendance time, leaving time, etc. are written. Table 2 shows a state before data input to the table, and 2'shows a state after data input. Reference numerals 3 and 3'are input screens for displaying the data written in the tables 2 and 2 '. Input screen 3 shows the state before data input,
3'indicates the state after data input. Reference numerals 4 and 5 are display areas. An input control processing unit 10 performs data input control, display control of input data, and the like. Reference numeral 11 denotes an input unit for inputting data, which is composed of a data input means such as a keyboard and a mouse. The input unit 11 has a standard value input instruction means. Reference numeral 12 is a fixed value holding unit, which holds fixed value data. For example, in the case of an employment management system, it is possible to hold the regular time to work and the regular time to leave the office. An input instruction determination unit 13 determines whether or not the data input by the input unit 11 is a standard value input instruction. Reference numeral 14 denotes a display processing unit, which performs display processing of the input screens 3 and 3 '. Reference numeral 15 denotes a data control unit, which takes out the data of the fixed value holding unit 12 and writes the data to the tables 2 and 2'when the fixed value input instruction is given, and transfers the display data to the display control unit 16. And so on. A display control unit 16 controls the display of the input screens 3 and 3 '.

The fixed value holding unit 12 may be configured as a data table in the memory, or may have a fixed value in the program, or a value calculated in the program may be used as the fixed value. It is possible to take
