[0023]
As shown in FIG. 4, the screen management table 13 indicates whether or not each business screen has a free space and, if there is a free space, its output coordinates (not shown). And the number of input items (the range of item IDs) that the business screen has.
[0024]
On the other hand, in the item management table 14, as shown in FIG. 5, for each input item of each business screen, the name of the input item and the ID of the input item (the serial number in the business screen is assigned). And the output coordinates of the input item (not shown but the size is also managed) and the ID of the input item of the same business screen related to the input item.
[0025]
6 and 7 illustrate an example of a processing flow executed by the screen control program 12. Next, according to this processing flow, the processing of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0026]
When the application program 11 issues a business screen display request, the screen control program 12 first displays a business screen with a display request in step 1 as shown in the processing flow of FIGS. To do.
[0027]
Subsequently, in step 2, when a user operation is detected while waiting for a user operation on the displayed business screen, the process proceeds to step 3 to determine whether the user operation is a business screen display end request, When it is determined that it is a business screen display termination request, the process proceeds to step 4 to terminate the business screen display and terminate the processing.
[0028]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 3 that the user operation is not a request to end the display of the business screen, the process proceeds to step 5 where the user operation is a cursor movement, and the cursor is moved to the position of the input item on the business screen. If it is determined whether or not the cursor has moved to the position of the input item on the business screen, the process proceeds to step 6 to obtain the output coordinates of the input item pointed to by the cursor from the item management table 14 Then evacuate it.
[0029]
Subsequently, in step 7, it is determined whether or not there is an empty space in the displayed business screen by referring to the screen management table 13, and when it is determined that there is an empty space, the process proceeds to step 8. The output coordinates of the empty space are acquired from the screen management table 13.
[0030]
Subsequently, in step 9, the input area of the input item pointed to by the cursor is enlarged and displayed at the position of the empty space designated by the acquired output coordinates, and the process returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation.
[0031]
That is, when a business screen as shown in FIG. 8A (a business screen whose screen ID is registered in the screen management table 13 / item management table 14) is displayed, the cursor is placed on the input item A. When moved, as shown in FIG. 8B, the input area of the input item A is enlarged and displayed at the position of the empty space of the business screen.
[0032]
At this time, as shown by a broken line in the figure, the enlarged input area is displayed using a display form that can identify which input item is the enlarged input area. Yes.
[0033]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 7 that there is no empty space on the displayed business screen, the process proceeds to step 10 to refer to the screen management table 13 to determine the number of input items held by the displayed business screen. In addition to acquisition, by referring to the item management table 14, information on a related item (an input item having relevance to the input item) of the input item pointed to by the cursor is acquired.
[0034]
Subsequently, in step 11 (the processing flow of FIG. 7), one input item that is not related to the input item pointed to by the cursor is determined from the acquired number of input items and the acquired related item.
[0035]
4 and FIG. 5, when the input item R is selected by the cursor when the business screen with the screen ID 2 is displayed, the control table of FIG. By referring to the screen management table 13, it is acquired that the number of input items of the business screen is 11, and by referring to the item management table 14 of FIG. 5, it is input as a related item of the input item R. When items 2, 5, and 7 (input items L, O, and Q) are acquired, by selecting, for example, input item A from the remaining eight input items, the relationship with the input item pointed to by the cursor is obtained. One input item that does not have is determined.
[0036]
Subsequently, in step 12, by referring to the item management table 14, the output coordinates of the determined unrelated input items are acquired. Subsequently, in step 13, the input area of the input item pointed to by the cursor is enlarged and displayed at the position of the unrelated input item designated by the acquired output coordinates, and the process returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation.
[0037]
That is, when the business item screen as shown in FIG. 10A is displayed and the cursor is moved to the input item R, as shown in FIG. The input area of the input item R is enlarged and displayed at the position of the input item A that does not have.
[0038]
At this time, as shown by a broken line in the figure, the enlarged input area is displayed using a display form that can identify which input item is the enlarged input area. Yes.
[0039]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 5 that the user operation is not a movement of the cursor, the process proceeds to step 14 to determine whether or not the user operation is an input of an item value to the input item displayed in an enlarged manner. When it is determined that the input is an item value, the process proceeds to step 15 to display the item value input by the user on the enlarged input item, and then returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation. .
[0040]
That is, when the item value “Tokyo” is input to the input item displayed in an enlarged manner as shown in FIG. 8B, the item value “Tokyo” is changed as shown in FIG. It is displayed on the enlarged input item. Further, when the item value “sales” is input to the input item that is enlarged as shown in FIG. 10B, the item value “sales” is enlarged as shown in FIG. 11A. It is displayed on the displayed input item.
[0041]
On the other hand, when it is determined in step 14 that the user operation is not an input of an item value, the process proceeds to step 16 to determine whether or not the return key for confirming the item value input by the user is operated. When it is determined that the user has operated the return key, the process proceeds to step 17 to acquire the output coordinates of the input item saved in step 6 (original output coordinates of the input item that is the source of the enlarged display).
[0042]
Subsequently, in step 18, the enlarged display input item is deleted, and the item value input from the user displayed in the input item is confirmed and displayed in the original input item indicated by the acquired output coordinates. The process returns to step 2 to wait for the next user operation.
[0043]
That is, when the user operates the return key while inputting the item value “Tokyo” input from the user in the form as shown in FIG. 9A, as shown in FIG. The input item of the enlarged display is deleted, and the input item value “Tokyo” is displayed in the original input item. In addition, when the user operates the return key while inputting the item value “sales” input from the user in the form as shown in FIG. 11A, as shown in FIG. The displayed input item is erased, and the input item value of “sales” is displayed on the original input item.
