Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a computer system capable of improving operability in accordance with the skill (skill level) of a computer user.
About the system.

(Prior Art) As a command input method in a computer system, there are many methods in which a command input from a keyboard is directly input to a computer and executed.

However, such a method has a problem that the operation procedure cannot be simplified according to the skill of the user.

Therefore, as a method of eliminating such inconvenience, a method of simplifying an operation procedure by a menu method or a batch processing method may be adopted.

In this case, in the menu method, a plurality of work instructions are displayed on a screen in a menu form, and by selecting these with a mouse or the like, the trouble of inputting from a keyboard is reduced.

However, in this case, when the job is executed, not only the same number of work instructions as when inputting from the keyboard, but also the procedure to be operated by the user himself as in the case of inputting from the keyboard. Must be managed.

In the batch processing method, a series of work instructions whose work procedure is determined is defined as a macro instruction, and a program is described using the macro instruction.
Simplify the number of operating steps. Then, when executing a job, the macro instruction is translated into a work instruction by a compiler or an OS (Operating System) to perform processing.

However, in this case, the user has to manage the contents of the process indicated by such a macro instruction, so that when the number of macro instructions increases, the management on the user side becomes troublesome.

In addition, since it is necessary to search for a macro instruction that can be applied according to the content of a job, it is sometimes advantageous to directly input a series of work instructions through a keyboard in terms of time and effort for searching. Many.

Further, such a batch processing method can be applied only to jobs that can be processed in a uniform procedure.

(Object of the Invention) In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can provide operability in accordance with the skill of a computer user, thereby reducing the time and labor required for inputting an operation command. It aims to provide a system.

(Summary of the Invention) In order to solve the above problem, in a computer system according to the present invention, when a work instruction sequence frequently used in a work instruction input via an input unit is extracted, the work instruction sequence extraction This is extracted by the unit and stored in the storage unit. Thereafter, when the work instruction input through the input unit and the work instruction sequence stored in the storage unit satisfy a predetermined condition, the work instruction sequence is read by the work instruction generation unit, This is supplied to the computer as a work instruction sequence input from the input unit.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of a computer system according to the present invention.

The system shown in FIG. 1 includes a user interface unit 1 and a computer main body 2. When a user inputs an operation command by operating the operation unit 11, the user interface unit 1 outputs the operation command. A corresponding work code is generated and supplied to the computer main body 2 for processing.

The user interface unit 1 includes an inference unit 3 and a storage unit 4. The user interface unit 1 generates a work code from a work instruction input by a user, supplies the work code to the computer body 2, and generates a work instruction sequence. When a series of frequently used work instructions is included, the work instructions are extracted, and the extracted work instructions are included in the rule data 15 (see FIG. 3B).
When a first key input indicating this series of work instructions is made, a series of work codes corresponding to the series of work instructions are generated assuming that the series of work instructions have been input. Is displayed on the screen of the operation unit 11 or supplied to the computer main body 2.

The storage unit 4 is constituted by a hard disk device, a large-capacity semiconductor memory device, or the like. When the rule data (data including a work instruction sequence and work status information) 15 is supplied from the inference unit 3, Memorize this. Also,
When a read command is supplied from the inference unit 3, the rule data 15 in the address specified by the read command is read and supplied to the inference unit 3.

The inference unit 3 is constituted by a general inference mechanism, and is functionally divided into an extraction unit 5, a classification unit 6, a work procedure generation unit 7, and an interface body 8, as shown in FIG. Is done.

When the operation unit 11 is operated by a computer user, the extraction unit 5 accesses the storage unit 4 and reads out the rule data 15 for the work instruction input so far, while reading the rule data 15 and the operation data. The work instruction sequence input through the unit 11 is compared with the work instruction sequence that is frequently used as shown in FIG. 3 (a). It is checked whether there is a work instruction sequence 16 commonly input in the process of performing such a process, and if there is such a work instruction sequence 16, it is extracted. Thereafter, rule data 15 is generated from the work instruction sequence 16 and data on the work status at the time the work instruction sequence is input (work status information 17), and this is supplied to the classification unit 6.

When the classifier 6 receives the rule data 15 from the extractor 5, the classifier 6 accesses the storage unit 4 as shown in FIG. The last address of the rule data 15 having the same work status information 15 as the work status information 17 of the rule data 15 supplied from the unit 5 is detected. Thereafter, the rule data 15 supplied from the extraction unit 5 is registered in the address next to the last address.

Also, the work procedure generation unit 7 receives a work instruction from the operation unit 11.
When 18 is output, the storage unit 4 is accessed as shown in FIG. 3 (c), and among the rule data 15 stored in the storage unit 4, the current data supplied from the classification unit 6 is output. It is checked whether there is rule data 15 corresponding to the work status information 17 and the work instruction 18 just input.

Then, if there is rule data 15 corresponding to the current work situation 17 and the currently input work instruction 18, a series of work instruction sequences 16 constituting the rule data 15 is read out, and this is stored in the interface 8 main body. Supply.

The interface main unit 8 includes a circuit for matching the operation unit 11 with the computer main unit 2. When a work command is supplied from the operation unit 11 or the work procedure generation unit 7, the operation unit 11 transmits the work command to the computer.
