Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a menu processing device that performs a file update process or the like corresponding to a selected menu item in a personal computer, an office computer, or the like.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in an office computer or the like, when an arbitrary menu item is selected from a menu on a display screen,
Processing corresponding to the selected item is started. In other words, while selecting desired menu items one by one, various processes, for example, updating various files such as warehousing management, warehousing management, and sales management, and performing a slip issuing process are performed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the day-to-day business processing, there are two types of processing that should be performed as needed (arbitrary processing) and processing that must be performed within one day (compulsory processing). However, in the related art, one day's work may be terminated without executing the forced processing.

In such a case, the work will be omitted, but if you do not notice it and start the next day's work as if the forced processing was executed as normal, the file contents will be incorrect, etc. A very serious problem arises.

Therefore, for example, if it is possible to check whether all the compulsory processes to be executed without fail have been completed within one day, it is obvious that there is no omission of business and the execution of business is assured.

An object of the first invention is to make it possible to notify all the processes to be executed unless they have been completed.

A second object of the present invention is to make it possible to execute unprocessed processing unless all processing to be executed has been completed.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The means of the first invention are as follows.

The menu setting means 1A "see the functional block diagram in FIG. 1 (A), the same applies hereinafter" collectively designates menu items to be processed and sets them in the menu table memory 2A in advance.

The checking means 3A checks whether or not all processes corresponding to the menu items set in the menu table memory 2A have been completed in response to a menu check command by a key operation or the like.

The notifying means 4A is a display device or the like for notifying that there is an unprocessed menu item as a result of the inspection by the checking means 3A.

The menu check command is output when the system is stopped, and the notifying unit 4A may notify an unprocessed item prior to the system stop processing.However, a menu check key is provided, and this key is provided at any time. The unprocessed item may be notified in response to the operation.

 The means of the second invention is as follows.

The menu setting means 1B "see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1 (B), the same applies hereinafter" and the check means 3B are the same as the above-described menu setting means 1A and check means 3A, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.

The processing execution means 4B is the result of the inspection by the checking means 3B,
If there is an unprocessed menu item, the corresponding menu item is determined to be selected and the corresponding process is executed.

The menu check command is output when the system is stopped, as in the first invention, and the process execution means 4B may execute unprocessed items prior to the system stop process. And an unprocessed item may be executed at any time in response to the key operation.

[Operation] The operation of the means of the first invention is as follows.

Now, of the daily business operations, the menu item name of the process that must be executed within one day must be set in the menu setting means 1A.
Is specified in advance and set in the menu table 2A in advance. The menu table 2A stores an area for storing a plurality of menu item names set as described above, and an area for storing a flag indicating a processing state (processed flag / unprocessed flag) corresponding to the menu item name. Shall be provided. In this case, the unprocessed flags are set corresponding to all the menu item names at the start of the business day.

Thus, when the user starts a day's work and selects an arbitrary menu item from the menus on the front screen, a process corresponding to the selected item is executed. Here, when a process corresponding to the menu item name set in the menu table 2A is executed, a processed flag is set in the menu table 2A corresponding to the item name.

In this way, the user updates the sales management file, issues a slip, and the like while selecting a desired menu item.

However, assuming that the system stop command is input as the menu check command at the end of the day's work, the checking unit 3A determines whether all processes corresponding to the menu item names set in the menu table 2A have been completed. Inspect As a result, when the unprocessed flag is set in the menu table 2A, the notifying unit 4A reads and notifies the corresponding menu item name.

As a result, an unprocessed menu item can be confirmed, and if this menu item is selected, the process can be executed.

Note that, in this case, the system stop processing is executed when all the processing is completed.

Therefore, if all the processes to be executed have not been completed, it can be notified.

 The operation of the means of the second invention is as follows.

In this case, since it is substantially the same as the first invention described above,
Although the description is omitted, in the second invention, when there is an unprocessed menu item as a result of the inspection by the check unit 3B, the process execution unit 4B responds to the fact that the menu item is selected. Execute the processing to be performed.

Therefore, if all the processes to be executed have not been completely completed, the unprocessed processes can be executed.

First Embodiment Hereinafter, a first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a basic configuration of the menu processing device.

The CPU 11 controls the overall operation of the menu processing device according to a system program stored in the ROM 12. For example, the CPU 11 takes in the slip data or the like input from the input unit 13 and causes the display unit 14 to display and output the data, or reads out a data file in the hard disk 15 and causes the printing unit 16 to print out the data file. Also, when the menu is displayed, the CPU 11
When an arbitrary menu item is selected and specified from the input unit 13,
An execution program corresponding to the specified menu item is read from the menu execution program file in the hard disk 15, and the processing according to the program is executed. Here, the menu execution program file in the hard disk 15 is composed of execution programs corresponding to various menu items such as personnel management, sales management, warehouse management, and warehouse management.

The hard disk 15 is provided with an OFF check table in addition to the data file and the menu execution program file described above.

Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the OFF check table in the hard disk 15 is composed of a plurality of arbitrarily set menu item names and processing flags corresponding thereto. Here, the processing flag indicates whether or not the processing of the corresponding menu item has been executed.
Indicates a process, and “0” indicates no process. When the system is stopped, the CPU 11 refers to the OFF check table, checks whether all processes corresponding to the new item names set in this check table have been completed, and if there is an unprocessed item, A message to that effect is displayed on the display unit 14.

 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

First, in the OFF check table in the hard disk 15, a menu item name of a process (compulsory process) which must be executed within one day in daily business operations is set. In this case, when the menu item names to be processed are sequentially input from the input unit 13, the input menu item names are sequentially set in the OFF check table in the hard disk 15 (third.
See figure).

Then, when starting a day's work and selecting an arbitrary menu item from the menus on the display screen, the CPU 11 reads the execution program corresponding to the selected menu item from the menu execution program file in the hard disk 15. Then, processing such as updating a table file in the hard disk 15 is performed according to the execution program. At this time, when a menu item name set in the OFF check table in the hard disk 15 is selected, the processing flag corresponding to the menu item name is turned on and becomes “1”.

Each time a menu item name set in the OFF check table is selected, a processing flag corresponding to the selected menu item name is turned on.

Thus, when a system stop command is given at the end of a business day, the CPU 11 executes the operation according to the flowchart of FIG.

First, it is checked whether or not an OFF check table is set in the hard disk 15 (step A1). Here, if the OFF check table does not exist, the process directly proceeds to step A6 to execute the system off process.

On the other hand, when the OFF check table exists, the processing flag in the OFF check table is searched,
It is checked whether at least one unprocessed flag "0" exists in the table (step A2). Here, when the presence of the unprocessed flag is detected, a message indicating that fact is displayed (step A3).

FIG. 5 shows a message screen in this case, in which the name of the unprocessed item and the like are displayed together with the message data indicating that the unprocessed item exists. In addition, an inquiry is displayed on this message screen as to whether or not to execute the system-off process as it is, ignoring unprocessed items. When an instruction for this inquiry is input and specified from the input unit 13, the CPU 11 determines that (step A4).

Now, if it is instructed to execute the unprocessed item, the process exits from this flow, and the process can be executed. However, if it is instructed to ignore the unprocessed item, step A5 is executed. Then, after clearing all the processing flags corresponding to each menu item name in the OFF check table in the hard disk 15, the system off processing is executed (step A6).

On the other hand, when all the processes corresponding to the respective menu item names set in the OFF check table in the hard disk 15 are completed and each processing flag is “1”, that is, when there is no unprocessed flag in the OFF check table In step A2, this is detected and the process proceeds to step A5, where OF
After clearing all the processing flags in the F check table, the system off processing is executed (step A6).

Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

In the first embodiment, a message to that effect is displayed if all processes to be executed have not been completed. However, in this embodiment, a menu of unprocessed items is selected to execute the process. It is intended to be executed.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation when the system is stopped. In FIG. 6, steps B1, B2, B4, and B5 indicate similar steps corresponding to steps A1, A2, A5, and A6 in FIG.

Now, when the system is stopped,
If a check table exists (step B1) and there is an unprocessed flag in this table (step B2), the menu of the unprocessed item is selected (step B3), the process exits from this flow, and the selected menu item is displayed. The corresponding processing can be executed. If there is no unprocessed flag in the OFF check table, the system off process is executed after clearing all the process flags in step B4 (step B4).
Five).

In each of the above embodiments, it is checked whether or not all forced processing has been completed when the system is stopped. However, the above check may be performed when a specific key is operated.

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, it is checked whether or not all the processing to be executed has been completed, and if it has not been completed, it is notified or the unprocessed processing is executed. Leakage is eliminated, and the execution of work is assured.
