Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a menu processing device that displays a menu on a display screen and selects various items by an operator to execute various processes.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in the above-described menu processing device, menu items that can be selected according to various processing stages of the device are sequentially displayed, and the operator (user) displays this menu item. Various kinds of processing are executed by appropriately selecting menu items. The menu items displayed at this time are all the same regardless of the type of operator (types that are divided according to the authority range that can be processed for the device), and fixed menu items are displayed. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, in these apparatuses, the range in which various processes can be executed is limited according to the type of operator, and the operator has his own authority. When a process exceeding the range is selected and executed, an error occurs during the execution process, and the operator cannot move the device thereafter.

However, depending on the operator, it may not be clear why an error occurred during the process even though the user selected according to the menu item, and there is a possibility that all the operations so far may be invalidated due to the error. there were.

This problem is to prevent an error from occurring when an item on the menu display is selected and a process is executed.
Another object is to expand the usability of menu processing in consideration of the operator's authority range.

[Means for Solving the Problem] According to the invention of claim 1, when a plurality of items are displayed in a menu and one item is selected from the displayed plurality of items, a process for the selected item is performed. The menu processing device that executes the process is, for example, a shelf menu data file related to the business (department) shown in the embodiment or an SE related to the user type.
Like a dedicated menu data file, at least a menu data storage unit that stores a menu data file that stores items corresponding to business attributes and a menu data file that stores items corresponding to user types, and a user name Attribute information storage means for storing the user attribute information and the user attribute information indicating, for example, the department of the user, and the task attribute information and the user of the user from the attribute information storage means based on the input user name. Attribute information extracting means for extracting the seed information, menu data files related to the business attribute information and the user seed information extracted by the attribute information extracting means are read out from the menu information storing means, and the items available to the user are displayed as menus. And a display control means for displaying.

According to the invention of claim 2, when a plurality of items are displayed as a menu and one item is selected from the displayed plurality of items, the menu processing device that executes the process for the selected item is a user. An attribute information storage unit that stores the business attribute information and the user type information of the user in association with the name, and the business attribute information and the user type information of the user from the attribute information storage unit based on the input user name. By means of attribute information extracting means, menu display means for deciding items available to the user based on the business attribute information and user type information extracted by the attribute information extracting means, and displaying the menu, and the menu displaying means. Change instruction means for instructing to change the displayed menu item, and the user type when the change instruction means gives a change instruction Discriminating means for discriminating distribution, characterized by comprising a control means for permitting the change of the menu items to the user type of the user predetermined according the determination result of the determination means.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

Structure FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a menu processing device according to an embodiment, and this embodiment is an example applied to a file processing device.

When performing file processing, this file processing device performs input processing in an interactive manner by sequentially displaying menus with the CPU 1 as a core.
Magnetic disk 2, disk control unit 3, key input unit 4, display unit 5, user code register R1, user type register R
2, and the shelf code register R3 is connected.

A user attribute registration file F1 and a menu data file group F2 used when forming the file group F3 are previously formed on the magnetic disk 2.

A user name, user code, password, shelf code, and user type are registered for each user in the user attribute registration file F1.

The shelf code is data indicating which shelf (group: a department such as a personnel department or a sales department in this embodiment) to which the corresponding user belongs. This concept of shelves not only groups users but also groups predetermined files in the menu data file group F2 at the same time, and users and files exist in the same shelf.

As the user type, as shown in the solid line part of FIG.
There are 9 types of privilege SE, in-shelf privilege SE, privilege BK, in-shelf privilege BK, general BK, privileged administrator, in-shelf privilege administrator, general administrator, and operator, each of which is identified by a type number.

 The classification criteria for each user type are as follows.

Privilege SE: Privileged system engineer In-shelf privilege SE: Shelf system engineer Privilege BK: Overall BK planner In-shelf privilege BK: Shelf BK planner General BK: BK planner Privileged administrator: Overall administrator In-shelf privileged administrator : Shelf administrator General administrator: Administrator Operator: Application operation personnel "System engineer" is the system creator,
"BK planner" means the application creator, and "administrator" means the administrator of the system in operation.

Then, the user name, shelf code, and user type of the operator are detected based on the user attribute registration file F1, and a plurality of candidates consisting of only input items that the operator can execute are displayed as a menu.

The files that form the menu data file group F2 include multiple user menu data files, multiple shelf menu data files, common menu data files, operation management menu data files, DP development menu files, and SE-only menu data files. . In each user menu data file, the menu data dedicated to each user is organized, and the header part stores the user name and the shelf code indicating which department such as the personnel department or the sales department the user belongs to. ing.
In addition, each shelf menu data file contains each shelf (department).
Dedicated menu data is organized into a file, and a shelf code is stored in the header section.

In addition, the menu data in each file in the menu data file group F2 is hierarchized in a tree shape. For example, from the candidates of the next input item displayed in the menu, the input item "HR department menu" is selected. When is selected, next, "Payroll calculation task", "Bonus calculation task", and "As needed processing" are displayed as menus of the input items corresponding to "HR department menu". When “Job” is selected, a menu of predetermined input item candidates corresponding to the “Payroll job” is displayed.

The commands that can be started via these menu data files are restricted by the user type and privilege S
E, and the in-shelf privilege SE can execute the menu data in all the menu data files.
The general BK cannot execute the menu data in the DP development menu data file, and the privileged administrator, the shelf privileged administrator, and the general administrator can use the menu data in the DP development menu data file and the SE dedicated menu data file. Is configured so that the operator cannot execute the menu data in the operation management menu data file, the DP development menu data file, and the SE-dedicated menu data file.

Operation Next, the operation will be explained.

When the user code and the password are input by the key input unit 4 (step S1 in FIG. 3), the CPU 1 transfers the password corresponding to the input user code to the magnetic disk 2 via the disk control unit 3. It is read from the formed user attribute registration file F1 (step S2). next,
It is determined whether the read password and the input password match (step S3). As a result, when they do not match, the error processing is performed by returning to step S1.
When they match, the input user code is set in the user code register R1, and the corresponding user type and shelf code are read from the user attribute registration file F, and the user type register R2 and shelf code register are respectively read.
Set to R3 (step S4). Then, the user type in the user type register R1 is determined (step S5).

Then, the first input item candidate that can be executed by the determined user type is displayed in a menu together with the selection number. That is, the privilege SE of the user type type No. 1 and 2 and the privilege SE in the shelf
If any of the above, "User menu", "Shelf menu", "Common menu", "Operation management menu", "DP"
Display the "Development menu" and "SE-only menu" (step S6). If the user type is any one of privilege No. 3, 4, 5 privilege BK, in-shelf privilege BK, and general BK, "user menu", "shelf menu", "common menu",
The "operation management menu" and "SE-only menu" are displayed as menus (step S7). User type is type No.6, 7,
If any of the eight privileged administrators, the in-shelf privileged administrator, and the general administrator, the "user menu", "shelf menu", "common menu", and "operation management menu" are displayed as menus (step S8). If the user type is an operator of type No. 9, "user menu", "shelf menu", and "common menu" are displayed as menus (step S9).

As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 6 (a),
Regarding "User Menu" and "Shelf Menu", refer to User Code Register R1 and Shelf Code Register R3,
Specific user names such as "a1 menu" and "b1 menu", and specific shelf names such as "HR department" and "sales department" are displayed on the menu.

Next, when the key operation is performed (step S10), the content of the operated key is checked (step S11), and when only the selection number on the menu display screen is entered,
The selection menu is executed assuming that the menu has been selected (step S12). Then, the process returns to step S10.
For example, when "2" is input to the menu display shown in FIG. 5 (a), as the personnel department menu corresponding to the selection No. 2, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), The contents of the first stage in the shelf menu data file of the personnel department in the menu data file group F2 are displayed as a menu. And when returning to step S10 in this menu display state,
When the selection No. 1 is independently input, as shown in FIG. 5 (c), "No. 1" corresponding to the selection No. 1 in the contents of the second stage in the shelf menu data file of the personnel department is displayed. Menu data related to "payroll calculation" is displayed on the menu. In this way, the menu display sequentially guides the candidates for the items to be input next, and by selecting the items in accordance with them, the file processing is executed in an interactive manner.

The processing of steps S13 to S16 has the following significance. That is, for example, when a person in the human resources department operates it,
As shown in FIG. 5 (a), by displaying the item "HR department menu" as a menu and not displaying the items "Sales department menu", "Development department menu" ... It is prohibited to access files outside the shelves. However, if it becomes necessary to cancel such restrictions, the processing in steps S13 to S16 is performed in order to give the cancellation right only to some of the persons. That is, when the shelf menu change command signal is input together with the selection No. “2” in the menu display state of any of steps S6 to S9 and the shelf code of the shelf to be changed is input (step S13), the user type register The user type of the operator is checked by referring to the contents of R2 (step S1
Four). As a result, if the operator is a privileged person such as privileged SE, privileged BK, and privileged administrator, the shelf code input in step S13 is set in the shelf code register R3, and the selection number currently displayed on the menu is displayed. The "shelf menu" corresponding to 2 is changed to the "shelf menu" corresponding to the newly set shelf code (step S15). For example, if Mr. a1 of the personnel department shelf which is the privilege SE is the operator and the shelf code of the sales department is input in step S13 in the menu display state shown in FIG. The “personnel department menu” in FIG. 7A is changed to the “sales department menu”. Therefore, returning to step S10, if the selection No. 2 is keyed in, in step S12 the menu display is performed based on the contents of the shelf menu data file of the sales department with reference to the contents of the shelf code register R3. , A1, a privileged SE in the Human Resources Department (shelf), can access files in the Sales Department outside the shelf.

On the other hand, in step S14, the operator has privilege SE, privilege BK,
If it is determined that the user right is other than the privileged administrator, error processing is performed in step S16, and the process returns to step S10.

The processes of steps S17 to S20 are processes for giving a part of the operator the right to release the restriction regarding the access restriction to the file of another person.

That is, when the user menu change command signal is input together with the selection No. “1” in the menu display state of any of steps S6 to S9 and the user code of the user to be changed is input (step S17), the user type register The user type of the operator is checked by referring to the contents of R2 (step S18). As a result, if the user is a privileged user such as privileged SE, privileged BK, and privileged administrator, the user code input in step S17 is set in the user code register R1 and the selected No. 1 currently displayed in the menu is selected. The corresponding "user menu" is changed to the newly set "user menu" corresponding to the user code (step S19). For example, privilege SE
When Mr. a1 is the operator and the user code of Mr. b1 is input in step S17 in the menu display state shown in FIG. 5 (a), the “Mr. a1 menu” of FIG. b1 Mr. menu ”is changed. Therefore, if the user returns to step S10 and inputs the selection No. 1 by key, in step S12, the menu display is performed based on the content of the user menu data file of Mr. b1 with reference to the content of the user code register R1. , A1 can access b1's file.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S18 that the operator is the in-shelf privilege SE, the in-shelf privilege BK, the in-shelf privilege administrator, etc., the user code input in step S17 is handled. Is read from the user attribute registration file F1 and compared with the shelf code of the operator in the shelf code register R3 (step S20). As a result, when they match, that is, when the privileged person on the shelf tries to access the file of another person on the same shelf as the shelf to which he belongs,
In step S19, the user code of the other person input in step S17 is set in the user code register R1, and the "user menu" corresponding to the selection No. 1 currently displayed in the menu is newly set in the user code. Change to the corresponding "user menu". If the shelf codes do not match, the process proceeds to step S16 and error processing is performed. Further, when it is determined in step S18 that the operator is one of the general BK, general administrator, and operator, that is, neither the privileged person nor the shelf privileged person, the process proceeds to step S16 to perform error processing. .

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S11 that the command is a maintenance command (this is a command instructed when correcting the menu data itself), the process proceeds to FIG.
Wait for menu selection for the current menu display (step S21). As a result, when the “common menu” of selection No. 3 is selected, the user type of the operator is checked (step S22), and the operator is a privileged person such as privileged SE, privileged BK, or privileged administrator. For example, a predetermined maintenance process for the common menu data file, for example, the process of adding, inserting, deleting, correcting the menu data, etc. is performed (step S2
3) and returns to step S10.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S22 that the operator is not the above privileged person, the process proceeds to step S24, error processing is performed, and the process returns to step S10.

When the "shelf menu" of selection No. 2 is selected in step S21, the operator's user type is checked (step S25), and the operator has privilege SE, in-shelf privilege SE, privilege BK, in-shelf If the privileged BK, privileged administrator, or privileged administrator in the shelf, that is, the privileged person is the privileged person in the shelf, the predetermined maintenance for the shelf menu data file of the selected shelf (the shelf displayed in the menu) Is performed (step S26), and the process returns to step S10. On the other hand, when the operator is one of the general BK, general administrator, and operator, error processing is performed (step S27), and the process returns to step S10. In steps S13 to S15, privileged users such as privileged SE, privileged BK, and privileged administrator can change the shelf menu, so those people can change the shelf menu data file outside the shelf in step S26. On the other hand, a predetermined maintenance process can be performed.

When the "user menu" of selection No. 1 is selected in step S21, the user menu for the selected user (the user who was displayed in the menu at the time of selection) regardless of the user type of the operator. A predetermined maintenance process is performed on the data file (step S28), and the process returns to step S29. The availability of maintenance for each user type with respect to the common menu data file, the shelf menu data file, and the user menu data file being displayed in the menu is indicated by O and X in the broken line portion of FIG. By the processing in steps S17 to S20, the privileged person can perform predetermined maintenance on the user menu data file of any user, and the privileged person in the shelf can change the user maintenance data file of another person in the same shelf. Also, it is possible to perform predetermined maintenance.

Also in the maintenance processing in steps S23, 26, and 28, the processing is proceeded in an interactive manner by sequentially displaying the menu items to be input next. At this time, for example, in step S26, the privilege SE,
For Privilege BK and Privileged Administrator, menus of addition, insertion, deletion, and movement are displayed as a maintenance type, and for the in-shelf privilege SE, in-shelf privilege BK, and in-shelf privileged administrator,
Only insert items are displayed in the menu, and only items that can be executed by the user type are displayed in the menu.

In this way, since only the items that the operator can execute are displayed in the menu, it is possible to prevent accidentally selecting an item that cannot be executed. As a result, it is not necessary to make a new selection to correct the wrong selection. Further, it is not necessary to judge whether or not the item can be executed by oneself. Further, since the number of items displayed in the menu is reduced, it becomes possible to easily find a desired item.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION According to the invention of claim 1, when displaying a menu item excluding items that the user cannot process in the menu display, based on a plurality of elements such as the user's business attribute and user type. Since a combination of menu items is created, a more appropriate menu display can be provided to the user, and the user can select the menu item with confidence and execute the process.

According to the second aspect of the invention, when the menu items that can be used by the user are displayed based on the work attribute information and the user type information, the menu items displayed to the user of the predetermined user type are displayed. Since the change is permitted, for example, the privileged person can expand the processing work as needed, and the menu processing system can be flexibly used.
