BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing system associated with graphic pattern processing, and more particularly to graphic information (Intelligent pad, hereinafter IP) having a procedure for defining execution control between a plurality of processing instruction groups. in coupled system by database communication means and) that not only the general data, the information processing associated with the graphic pattern processing using the graphical information efficiently and visual Shi
Regarding the stem .

The information displayed as a graphic has a characteristic that it is visual and easy for the user to understand. However, if this graphic information is to be created, the application is complicated, and in a large-scale system, ,
Since it is often extremely difficult to handle, there is a demand for an editor associated with graphic pattern processing that can be easily handled by both the side that creates an application using graphic information and the side that uses it.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In the field of visual programming, when operating a graphical object displayed on a screen using a mouse, the basic operation is to use graphic information (IP) having a procedure. The IP is a pad to be handled in particular. The pad is a component for operation having data + procedure + view, and a rectangular object visualized on the screen, that is, a pad is a GUI (Graphical User).
Interface) is used to create a graphical application while operating. The GUI is a user interface between a computer and an operator, and in particular, a pointing device such as a mouse is used to operate these various pads such as pull-down menus, windows, icons, and the like. Each pad has a unique function, and is represented by a paper image on the screen, and movement, enlargement / reduction, and operations for the unique functions of each pad are performed directly on the screen.

Further, as for the pads, a plurality of pads can be attached by direct operation on the screen. By laminating the pads, not only the layout of various media can be freely set, but also function synthesis can be performed. That is, it is possible to create more complicated tools, documents, and composite media by using a composite pad in which pads are pasted together.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of conventional bonding of pads. In the figure, a basic pad 100 is a pad having a sales report function, and the pad 100
The pads 210, 220 and 230 are attached to the above. Furthermore, on these pads, pads 310, 3
It shows an example in which 20, 330 are pasted together. For example, a basic pad 100 having a function for totalizing sales
By pasting a table pad 230 having a table editing function on top of it, it is possible to edit the sales totalization result into a sales table. The table pad 230 collects sales for each area. Further, the program pad 330 is attached onto the table pad 230. This program pad 330 is, for example, “Tokyo”
Is a program in which the sales of "Sapporo" are multiplied by a coefficient of "1.5". Therefore, in the sales table,
The result in which the contents of the program pad 330 are reflected is displayed.

Further, each pad has a kind of connector called a slot which is made accessible to the outside for some elements of the state of the pad and has an accessible identifier. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a connection relationship between pads. The quadrangle figure shown in the figure shows the pads, and the thick lines show the connection relationship between the pads. In the figure, the pad P1 is a master pad, the pad P4 is a subpad having an input / output function,
It is assumed that the pad P4 is subordinate to the pad P1. At this time, the pad P4 of the sub-pad that operates as an input device to the pad P1 sends a "set message" to the slot of the master pad P1 according to the state of the pad P4, and the master pad P1 performs the procedure of the designated slot. Is started, and processing is performed on the transmission value of the parameter of the “set message”.

In this way, the state of the pad P1 changes,
The "update message" is sent from the master pad P1 to the subpad P4 having the update dependency relationship. The sub pad P4 that operates as an output device is "updat
When receiving the "e message", the "gimme message" is read in order to read the updated value of the master pad P1.
Is returned, and the processing corresponding to the updated value acquired from the master pad P1 is thereby performed.

[0008]

However, as in the above-mentioned conventional example, by placing a plurality of pads on a certain basic pad and exchanging information through the slots, mutual functions can be utilized. However, when the bonding of the pads becomes complicated, or when a composite pad is created by bonding in multiple stages, the same operator as the operator who operated the pad on the screen when performing similar processing next time. Even if this person does, it is not always possible to accurately store the bonding order of the pads, which pad is the master pad, and which pad is the pad subordinate to the master pad.

Further, since it is possible to freely combine and rearrange the bonding of the pads, it is necessary to change the combination of the bonded pads to acquire a certain A pattern and acquire the B pattern. In some cases, if some time has passed since the A pattern was created,
If you do not remember the bonding pattern accurately,
There is a problem that even if the B pattern is desired to be acquired, it cannot be acquired.

Further, since a figure includes many ambiguities, when a problem occurs, it is necessary to analyze the structure of a complicated application, and it is extremely difficult to deal with it (trouble seating). There is also a problem that whether or not the relationship of bonding a certain pad on the screen is correct cannot be judged only by constructing on the screen.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and solves the above-mentioned problems of the related art, and in visual programming, it is possible to accurately construct even a combination of hierarchically structured pads, and to improve reliability. An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system associated with high-performance graphic pattern processing. A further object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system capable of accurately and efficiently implementing development / maintenance of a large scale system or an application having a complicated structure.

A further object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system associated with graphic pattern processing capable of recording / reproducing an ambiguous on-screen expression exactly. Further, a further object of the present invention is to perform an information processing system accompanying the graphic pattern processing capable of checking the relation of pasting on the screen and the validity of data of information on the screen.
It is to provide a stem .

A further object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system associated with graphic pattern processing that can be edited by a character string information editing means such as a text editor.

[0019]

According to the present invention, individual unit graphic information (pad) in the composite graphic information is obtained by converting an application based on the graphic constructed on the display means into text data.
It is possible to accurately recognize the bonding relationship and the bonding relationship between them. As a result, the application, which can only be visually grasped, replaces the text data with each other, so that the correspondence relationship between the pads is accurately expressed, which is effective for debugging processing for performing bonding, reviewing the connection relationship, and the like. Further, it is not necessary for the operator to store a memory as a structural record such as IP bonding, and because the IP is converted into text, which pad is bonded on which pad, which pad is subordinated, etc. Data is recorded in more detail.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to accumulate the text data output by the character string expanding means and update various text data by a character string editing function such as a text editor. That is, when the error is detected by the debug processing, the text data to be updated may be read from the memory and the correction processing may be performed.

Further, according to the present invention, the connection relation of the synthetic graphic information displayed on the display means is accurately analyzed, which pad is attached to which pad, and which pad is attached to each other. By converting the information whether there is a text based on a format that has a hierarchical structure, the data that was vaguely viewed through the display means
Since the synthesizing order and the synthesizing relation of the synthetic graphic information are converted into the representation of the character string corresponding to the hierarchical structure, it is possible to obtain the information that does not include ambiguity.

Further, the present invention is, access speed is increased by directly using the text data expanded on the memory. Further, the present invention is to produce a composite shapes in the reverse route for routes generate text data.
Therefore, it is possible to read the text data, assemble the data structure of the synthetic graphic information according to the expanded format, and display the textified information accurately as the synthetic graphic information. Further, after the debugging process by the text data in the memory, and updates the text data, by converting the composite graphic information in the same route, it is possible to display the updated composite graphic information.

Further, according to the present invention, when the text of the synthetic figure or the bidirectional conversion for converting the textified information into the information of the synthetic figure is updated in real time when the information of the conversion source is updated. Since the conversion is performed, it is possible to perform a consistent conversion in terms of time.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows the system configuration of the first embodiment of the present invention. An editor associated with the graphic pattern processing shown in the figure, a display 10 for displaying graphic information and text data, a conversion unit 20 for converting graphic information (IP) having procedures into text data, or a text data into IP. Text editing tools such as editor 30
It is composed of

The conversion unit 20 comprises a graphic processing unit 21, a data structure analysis unit 22, a type conversion and data analysis unit 23, a structure editing unit 24, a standard text expansion unit 25 and a file interface 26. When the IP on the screen is converted to text, the graphic processing unit 21 analyzes the information regarding the position information and the display method of each displayed pad and holds it as function data.

When converting the IP on the screen into text, the data structure analysis unit 22 makes a function call to the graphic processing unit 21 and uses the IP data input from the graphic processing unit 21 on the screen. The structure of IP data such as the bonding relationship between pads and the bonding relationship is analyzed. The type conversion and data analysis unit 23 analyzes a data type used in the IP world and converts it into a data type usable in a programming language. In particular, unlike other codes, IP control codes often cannot be directly converted into text data, so the data type is converted to match the programming language level. That is, the type of data on the screen and the type of text data generally do not match,
While converting the data type so that it can be handled as text data, it is determined whether the input data is character data or numerical data, and the data is classified into attributes.

The structure editing unit 24 analyzes the hierarchical structure of the IP and generates a format for expanding the text data according to the hierarchical structure. For example, when the pad A and the pad B are coupled to each other and the pad B is dependent on the pad A, the coupling relationship is maintained by a tree structure or the like, and the dependent pad B is more than the pad A which is the main pad. It prevents the situation described above. Specifically, the format is formed hierarchically and is generated such that the position where the text data is expanded is indented as it goes down. The number of columns to be indented is determined by the control data (tab, space, line feed, etc.) acquired from the type conversion and data analysis unit 23.

The standard text expansion unit 25 refers to the dictionary for the data that has been processed up to the attribute classification in the type conversion and data analysis unit 23 described above,
Convert to character string data. As described above, since the method of generating character string data by referring to the dictionary can be converted by the existing method, detailed description of the conversion is omitted. The converted character string data is stored in the structure editing unit 24 described above.
It is expanded according to the format for the text data generated in.

The file interface 26 also includes a text file 40 provided outside the conversion unit 20.
I / O control with. Standard text expansion part 2 above
The text data generated by 5 is written in the text file 40 under the control of the file interface 26. The text editing tool 30 is a tool such as a text editor that generates, updates, and deletes text data, reads text data from the text file 40, displays the text data on a display, and sets the text to be processed. Specify data and perform processing such as updating.

Next, the operation when the information of the inter-pad interface called a slot, which is the main existence of the information forming the pad in the IP, and the information of the user interface part is converted into text according to the format generated by the structure editing section 24. Will be described. FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the operation of converting the IP text according to the first embodiment of this invention.

Step 101) First, the graphic processing unit 21
Reads the information of each pad on the screen by the existing method, acquires the positional information of the pad and the connection relationship between the pads, and converts the information into a function. Step 102) Next, the data structure analysis unit 22 makes a function call to the graphic processing unit 21, analyzes the data structure of the acquired function data in the IP world, and sets the data type to a level (standard format) compatible with the programming language. Conversion of. That is, the data type of IP is converted into the data type of the programming language according to the processing system.

Step 103) Further, the type conversion and data analysis unit 23 converts the text format handled by the IP into a text format usable by the text editing tool 30. There are various conversion methods depending on the text editing tool 30 used. For example, general alphabets and the like use substantially the same codes for each editing tool, but control codes such as tabs, spaces, and line breaks have their uniqueness for each text editing tool 30 used, so they are converted separately. There is a need to.

Step 104) The structure editing unit 24 arranges the layout so that the user can easily recognize it when it is converted into text, and generates a format for expanding text data. That is, in order to express the hierarchical structure of each IP data shown on the display 10, paragraphs, spaces are inserted, long text data is divided into a plurality of lines, and the like is referred to. In case,
Edit so that you can see the hierarchy.

Step 105) Next, in the standard text expansion unit 25, in accordance with the format corresponding to the hierarchical structure acquired in Step 104, each structure (pad) of the composite graphic information is converted into each character string data. , Expand on the format. Step 106) Using the file interface 26, the character string generated as described above is written into the text file 40 as character string data corresponding to the IP on a certain screen.

Step 107) Text editing tool 3
0 reads the contents of the text file 40, performs various updating processes, and rewrites the updated text data in the text file 40. Next, a case where text data is converted into graphic information and displayed as a pad on the screen will be described. In this case, it is realized by reversing the configuration shown in FIG.

In this case, the conversion unit 20 functions as a graphic information conversion unit, and uses a conversion unit having the same configuration as the above-mentioned text data conversion unit. The file interface 26 reads text data from the text file 40 and sends the text data to the standard text expansion unit 25. The standard text expansion unit 25 converts the read text data into graphical data according to the hierarchy of the expanded format when converting the text data.

The structure editing unit 24 determines at which position on the display 10 and in what layer the graphical data converted for each layer is displayed. The type conversion and data analysis unit 23 displays the graphical data on the display 1
The data type is converted to correspond to the programming language for displaying 0. The data structure analysis unit 22 uses the graphical data programming language to display the display 1
Analysis for displaying on 0, and the result is performed by the graphic processing unit 2
1 is passed as a function, and the display 10 is instructed to display.

The graphic processing section 21 includes a data structure analysis section 22.
The IP is output to the display 10 based on the position information of the graphical data analyzed by the instruction from the.
In this way, even when converting text data to IP, it is possible to share and use the conversion unit 20 that converts IP to text data. It is unnecessary.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of the operation when converting the text data of the first embodiment of the present invention into a synthesis pad (graphical data). (Step 201) The file interface 26 reads the text file 40 and outputs the read text data to the standard text expansion unit 25. Step 202) The standard text expansion unit 25 converts the text data into graphical data for each layer according to the format generated in step 104 described above. In this case as well, the dictionary is referred to acquire the graphical data.

Step 203) The structure editing unit 24 determines at which position on the display 10 the converted graphical data is to be displayed based on the analysis result of the hierarchical structure. Step 204) The type conversion and data analysis unit 23 converts the graphical data into a data type that can be displayed on the display 10.

Step 205) The data converted into the data type of the above display format is output to the graphic processing section 21. Step 206) The figure processing unit 21 converts the acquired data into a function, and based on the value, the converted graphical data is screen-edited and displayed.

Next, a specific example of converting the above IP into text data will be shown below. FIG. 5 shows a specific example of the first embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, an example of being displayed on the display 10 by a plurality of pads and a state in which text data is stored in the text file 40 are shown. First, the case where the putt displayed on the display 10 is converted to text will be described. Display 10
Has basic pads of key1, key2, and key3, two pads of key21 and 22 are bonded to key2, and keys31 and 32 are bonded to key3.
Pads are pasted together, and further, key21 and key
It is assumed that 1 and key31 and key33 are connected. The key1 first displayed on the display 10
The three pads of up to key3 are read by the graphic processing unit 21. The graphic processing unit 21 functionalizes position information and the like indicating at which coordinate the pad is located on the coordinate axis where each pad is displayed.

It is assumed that the data structure analysis unit 22 acquires the functionalized information of each pad from the graphic processing unit 21 and analyzes the structure of each data for each pad as follows. A character string is displayed on the pad key1. The pad key2 is a master pad of the pads key21 and 22, the pad key21 includes numerical data, and the pad key22 is a pad including a figure. Pad key3
Is a program pad. Furthermore, pad k
The ey1 and the pad key21 have a connection relationship.

The type conversion and data analysis unit 23 analyzes the type conversion and data for each pad as follows, for example. <Pad key1> ・ Character string notation ・ 4 lines display (6 characters per line) 1st line ... "Product information system" 2nd line ... "In tem" 3rd line ... "Use of information" 4th Line ... "Efficient appro" -Binding relationship ... Pad key2-pad key21 Pad key2-pad key22 <pad key2> -Master pad of pad key21 and pad key22 (pad key21) -Numerical notation / bonding relationship-key1 (pad key22) ) ・ Graphic notation <Pad key3> ・ Laminating relationship ... Pad key3-Pad key31 Pad key3-Pad key32 (Pad key31) ・ Program pad / connection relationship ... Pad key32 (Pad key32) ・ Program pad / connection relationship ... Pad key31 structure The editor 24 has the IP graphic information. The structure and structure of the data are analyzed, and the layout of the text data is edited as shown in FIG.

Next, the standard text expansion unit 25 converts the contents of each pad into text data according to the analysis result of the IP data of the structure editing unit 24, and the converted text data according to the layout shown in FIG. To expand. In the example shown in FIG. 5, first, in order to show that the pad key1 is a character string notation, each text data is expanded at each position in the layout of FIG. 6 as follows.

A ... "key 1" b ... "STRING" c ... "line 01" d ... "line 02" e ... "line 03" f ... "line 04" g ... "key 2" h ... "DICTIONARY" i … “Key 21” j… “NUMBER VALUE 21 (key1) k…“ BOOLEAN ”m…“ FALSE ”n…“ NUMBER ”o…“ 123456 ”・ ・ In the above,“ BOOLEAN ”indicates a true / false value, In this case, it is "BOOLEAN FALSE", so pad k
The display of ey21 means that it is reversed. The hierarchy is laid out by setting an arbitrary number of special codes such as tabs at the beginning of each line. For example,
In this case, when four tabs are set, the layout is shifted (indented) to the right by four characters from the start position.

In the present embodiment, as described above, each line of the format for expanding the text data shown in FIG.
Text data is expanded as follows.・ First line: “DICTIONARY”, which means a group, is set. Second line ... Information regarding the type "STRING" is set as the text data holding the slot information of key1 on the display 10. Third line to sixth line ... Contents of each line of key1 are set, and contents of key1 are expressed as text data of four lines.・ 7th line: key2 is set as the next group name. 8th line: The content of the key21 subordinate to the key2 is set, the pad number of the key21 is "21", and it is shown that the key21 and the key1 have a connection relationship.・ 9th line: The display area is highlighted. The tenth line ... The attribute of the character displayed in the area of key21 is a number, and that number is "123456". 11th line ... Indicates that the content of the key 22 subordinate to the key 2 is set and the pad number of the key 22 is “22”. -Twelfth line ... Indicates that the display area is highlighted as a pad specification for key3.

As described above, the structure of each pad and the contents of data are converted into text data and expanded in accordance with the hierarchical format. The file interface 26 adds an index to the set of text data (association list) expanded as described above and transfers the set to the text file 40.

Further, when the text editing tool 30 changes a part shown in FIG. 4, the index of the association list of the text data to be called is designated and the text data to be processed is acquired. The acquired text data may be displayed on the display, an arbitrary character string may be changed, and the text file 40 may be rewritten again. At this time, the slot to be changed may be designated and updated from the text data displayed on the display 10. Further, when the value of the slot is updated, the value of the data slot can be designed to be updated at the same time.

When the text data of the text file 40 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed as a pad on the display 10, it can be realized by performing the operation in the reverse method. Furthermore, an example is shown in which the text data accumulated in the text file 40 is converted into synthetic graphic information to be displayed as a synthetic pad in which a plurality of pads are combined and pasted.

(1) First, the file interface 2
6, the text file 40 is read and the data is transferred to the standard text development unit 25. (2) When the read text data is expanded according to the format shown in FIG. 6 used in the above processing, the standard text expansion unit 25 uses the dictionary to convert the text data into graphical data. .

(3) The structure editing unit 24 analyzes the data structure such as the hierarchical structure of the IP from the format shown in FIG. 6 and constructs the converted graphical data by checking the data structure. For example, "key21 NU
For "MBER VALUE 21", the control code (for example, tab) indents four characters from the position of "key2".
Subordinate to. Therefore, it is analyzed that the key 21 is a pad to be bonded on the key 2.

(4) Up to this point, since the data type is still text data, the type conversion and data analysis unit 23 converts it to a data type applicable to a programming language. (5) The data structure analysis unit 22 assembles the type-converted graphical data and the hierarchical relationship for each IP, performs function conversion, and outputs the function to the graphic processing unit 21.

(6) Upon receipt of the display instruction function from the data structure analysis unit 22, the graphic processing unit 21 performs graphic editing processing and displays the IP on the display 10 as shown in FIG.
Is output. By performing such processing, before the text data is converted into the IP, the text data is converted into the graphical data when the text data is rewritten by the debug work or the like, and the IP is displayed on the display 10. It is also possible to confirm.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same components as those in FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In the above-described first embodiment, an example in which the text editing tool 30 is set outside the conversion unit 20 has been shown, but in the present embodiment, the text editing tool 3 is set in the conversion unit 20.
A configuration including 0'is shown. The configuration shown in FIG.
Since there is no text file outside, the text data converted from the standard text expansion unit 29 is directly processed on the memory using the text editing tool 30 ', such as updating various text data.

FIG. 8 shows the configuration of another embodiment of the present invention. The system shown in the figure does not convert the IP data into text data, but converts the structure of the IP data into a tree structure and displays it on the display 10.
The system shown in FIG. 8 includes a display 10 that displays a plurality of bonded pads, a graphic processing unit 21, a data structure analysis unit 22 that analyzes a bonding state of pads on a plurality of screens, and a GUI-based bonding. To display a tree structure generated by the tree structure generation unit 60 and a tree structure generation unit 60 that generates a tree structure based on the result analyzed by the data analysis unit 23 ' GU
It is composed of the I tool 70.

By having the configuration shown in FIG.
It is also possible to create a GUI tree structure and display it on the display 10. This method is an example in which the data structure of the IP is analyzed by the data structure analysis unit without converting the IP data into text data, and the result of analyzing each IP data is displayed on the display 10 as a tree structure.

The method of converting the data of each pad on the display 10 into the text data and the method of converting the text data into the data for IP in the standard text expanding section 25 are limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. It is possible to use various conversion tools without having to. For example, when indenting text data on a certain format, in the above embodiment, an example of setting a tab has been shown, but it is sufficient if the structure can be visually recognized and recognized. It can also be assigned for indentation.

By constructing a graphic application on the screen and editing the graphic application into text data, the process constructed on the screen can be converted into text and recorded. In the case of updating, it is possible to modify this text application and convert the application with the modified character string into graphic information and display it when output on the screen becomes necessary. .

It is also possible to first build an application with text data, convert the application with a character string, and output it on the screen. In each of the above embodiments, an example in which the composite graphic information is converted into text data or the text data is converted into composite graphic information is shown. However, the composite graphic information is converted into text data and stored in the text file 40. Since the contents of the text data of the text file 40 are those of the world of visual programming converted into text, it is possible to regard the text data as a set of commands, convert it into an executable application program, and execute it. .

[0061]

As described above, according to the editor associated with the graphic pattern processing of the present invention, it is possible to replace the object and the information, which have been conventionally operated only visually, with the information of the character string. By doing so, it is possible to accurately and efficiently realize development and maintenance of a large-scale system or an application having a complicated structure.

Furthermore, when the synthetic graphic information is converted into the character string information, the layout for developing the character string information is expressed in a hierarchical structure based on the bonding and the connecting relation of the synthetic graphic information. When displaying character string information at the time of debugging, it is easy to intuitively grasp the bonding and connection relationship of the synthetic graphic information. Furthermore, since the graphic information is represented by the character string information, it can be obtained in strict detail, so it can also be used as a debugging tool, and the character string that needs to be corrected by debugging can be used. After correction, it is also possible to convert the character string information into graphic information again and confirm it as graphic information.

Further, in both directions of graphic conversion and text conversion, it is possible to perform conversion in real time even when the character string data or the graphic information is updated.
Since the updated information is immediately reflected in the conversion, there is no temporal contradiction between the pre-conversion data and the post-conversion data. Further, according to the present invention, when converting from IP to text data, it is possible to use a converting means having the same configuration when converting from text data to IP. Therefore, in each conversion process, other constituent elements are It is unnecessary.
