Description

  The present invention relates to a display method and a display control apparatus that display options using a selection system GUI component.

  Conventionally, when developing a program that displays a user-selectable option on a computer screen, the program developer assumes the number of options to be displayed and selects a selection GUI component that matches the number of options that are assumed. Was placed at the screen display position.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of a conventional display method of selection system GUI parts. In the example shown in FIG. 11, in the development stage of the package program, the program is designed by arranging radio buttons on the assumption that the number of options displayed in the product type column is three. This shows a case where the user has received a request to change the radio button to a pull-down list because the number of items has increased from three to twelve.

  In addition, there is a case where a request to change to a selection type GUI component different from the specification determined at the time of program development occurs during operation. For example, the list button was initially displayed as an option, but you want to change the display to a pull-down list, or you can select multiple simultaneously from a single-select check box that selects one of multiple options. There may be a request to change to

  In the conventional design method, it is necessary to customize the program in order to satisfy the above requirements. When the program is customized, it is necessary to verify the corrected program again, and there is a problem that it takes time and cost to correct and verify the program.

  Furthermore, even for selection-type GUI parts used on the same screen, the number of options may vary greatly depending on the situation in which they are used. For example, when a plurality of users having different access authorities display options on the same display screen, the number of options displayed may differ depending on the access authority. In such a case, it is difficult to uniquely determine the optimum selection system GUI component.

Patent Document 1 describes that a user interface designed by an application developer can be replaced with a UI component that is easy to use for each user. Specifically, user interface parts having user-preferred expressions are stored, and UI parts of user interfaces of application programs are stored and replaced with UI parts that match personal preferences.

This is a code for designating a selection system GUI component to be displayed instead.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the master table 21 in which a plurality of custom selection GUI setting information 18 are collected into one table.
In the master table 21 of the custom selection GUI setting information 18, as a custom selection GUI type code, “SINGLE_SELECT” capable of selecting one option, “PLURAL_SELECT” capable of selecting a plurality of options, and one or a plurality of options are provided. Three types of type codes “MIX_SELECT” that can be selected are set. A plurality of GUI type codes, a minimum number of options, a maximum number of options, and an alternative GUI type code are set in association with each custom selection GUI type code.

  As the GUI type code, “NODATA_LABEL” for specifying a label without an option, “ONEDATA_LABEL” for specifying a label with an option, “RADIO” for specifying a radio button, “PULLDOWN” for specifying a pull-down list, and a check box are specified. “CHEKBOX” to specify, “LIST_CHECKBOX” to specify a list with a check box, “POPUP_SINGLE” to specify a pop-up selection screen for single selection, and “POPUP_PLURAL” to specify a pop-up selection screen for multiple selection are set .

  For example, if “SINGLE_SELECT” is designated as the custom selection GUI to be arranged at a predetermined position on the screen and the number of options to be displayed is “4”, the minimum number of options is “2” with reference to the master table 21. The GUI type code “RADIO” having the maximum number of options “5” is selected. Then, the display size when four options are displayed using the radio button specified by the GUI type code “RADIO” is calculated. When the calculated display size is larger than the maximum size specified in the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 (described later) corresponding to the display position, the corresponding alternative GUI type code “POPUP_SINGLE” in the master table 21 is selected, Four options are displayed using a single selection pop-up screen specified by the alternative GUI type code.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a data configuration of the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18. The custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 is composed of data including a GUI number (corresponding to a GUI specific code), a custom selection GUI type code, and a maximum size as one set. Custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 is created for each GUI number.

  The GUI number is a code uniquely assigned to the custom selection GUI arranged on the screen. From this GUI number, it is specified at which position on the screen the custom selection GUI is arranged. The GUI number is set as the main key of the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18.

  The custom selection GUI type code is a code for designating a custom selection GUI composed of a plurality of selection type GUI parts. Specifically, it is a code such as “SINGLE_SELECT”, “PLURAL_SELECT”, “MIX_SELECT” and the like shown in FIG.

The maximum size is a maximum value of the display size when options are displayed using the selection system GUI component.

In this master table 22, “NODATA_LABEL” for designating a label without an option, “ONEDATA_LABEL” for designating a label with an option, “RADIO” designating a radio button, “PULLDOWN” designating a pull-down list, and a check box “CHEKBOX” to be specified, “LIST_CHECKBOX” to specify a list with check boxes, “POPUP_SINGLE” to specify a pop-up selection screen for single selection, and “POPUP_PLURAL” to specify a pop-up selection screen for multiple selection are registered Yes.

  In the display control apparatus 11 having the above-described configuration, processing for placing the custom selection GUI in the screen definition using the program development function 20 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  A new GUI number is determined (S11 in FIG. 7). Next, the custom selection GUI type is selected, the maximum size to be displayed at the position specified by the GUI number is set, and the data is associated with the GUI number and registered in the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 (S12).

The newly set GUI number is set at the corresponding position in the screen definition information of the program (S13).
Through the above processing, the position on the screen where the option is displayed is associated with the GUI number and registered in the screen definition information of the program. Then, custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 in which the GUI number, the custom selection GUI type code, and the maximum display size are associated with each other is created.

Next, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the display process of the selection system GUI component. First, a GUI number at a predetermined position on the screen and the number of options to be displayed are acquired from the screen definition information.
Next, the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 stored in the GUI arrangement information storage unit (not shown) is searched using the GUI number as a key, and one piece of custom selection GUI arrangement information X corresponding to the GUI number is acquired. (FIG. 8, S21).

  Next, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 stored in the GUI setting information storage unit is searched using the custom selection GUI type code registered in the acquired custom selection GUI arrangement information X as a key, and the custom selection GUI type code is searched. Are obtained and one custom selection GUI setting information Y satisfying the condition of the minimum number of options ≦ the number of options ≦ the maximum number of options is acquired (S22).

The selected GUI part designated by the GUI type code registered in the acquired custom selection GUI setting information Y is selected as I (S23).
Next, option information to be displayed is stored in the selected selection GUI component I, and a display size Z when a plurality of options is displayed using the selection GUI component I is calculated (S24).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the alternative GUI type code used when the display size Z obtained by calculation is equal to or larger than the maximum size registered in the custom selection GUI arrangement information X and equal to or larger than the maximum size is not null. (S25).

  When the calculated display size Z is equal to or larger than the maximum size X set in association with the GUI type code (Z> X) and the alternative type code is other than null (S25, YES), the process proceeds to step S26. The custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched using the custom selection GUI type code and the alternative GUI type code registered in the custom selection GUI setting information Y as a key, and one piece of custom selection GUI setting information Y ′ that matches the search condition get. Thereafter, the process returns to step S23.

  In step S25, when the calculated display size Z is smaller than the predetermined maximum size X, or when the alternative GUI type code is null (S25, NO), the process proceeds to step S27, and the selected selection GUI part I is selected. Store option information and display option information.

  According to the display process described above, even when the number of options to be displayed is changed during the operation of the program, the work of customizing the program becomes unnecessary. In addition, since the program need not be corrected, the program verification work is also unnecessary. Further, even when the number of options is not uniquely determined, the options can be displayed using the selection system GUI component that matches the number of options at that time.

  Furthermore, when the display size when displaying the selection using the selected selection GUI component is larger than the maximum size, the option can be selected without destroying the display layout by changing to a predetermined alternative selection GUI component. Can be displayed.

  Here, the display method of the selection system GUI component of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 shows an example in which a search target product is displayed as an option in the product type column of the product search screen.

  At the time of development, a custom selection GUI having a predetermined specification such as single selection or multiple selection is arranged at a position where the product type to be searched is displayed on the screen. At this time, a custom selection GUI type code, a GUI type code, a minimum number of options, a maximum number of options, and an alternative GUI type code are set in the custom selection GUI setting information 16. Actually, a GUI number is arranged at a position where the selection type GUI component is arranged, and the GUI number and the custom selection GUI type code are associated by the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18.

  When the number of options to be displayed in the product type column is determined during the operation of the program, the optimum selection system GUI component is automatically selected according to the number of options, and the selection is displayed using the selection system GUI component. .

Specifically, the selection system GUI component is automatically selected according to the number of options as follows, and the options are displayed.
When the number of options to be displayed is zero, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched using the set custom selection GUI type code as a key, and the minimum number of selections ≦ 0 among the extracted selection GUI parts ≦ Selection type GUI parts that satisfy the maximum number of options are selected. In this case, since the number of options is “0”, a “label” with no options is selected as a selection-type GUI component (see the master table 21 in FIG. 3), and “label” has no options as shown in FIG. Is displayed.

  When the number of options to be displayed is one, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched using the set custom selection GUI type code as a key, and among the selection type GUI parts having the same custom selection GUI type code, A selection system GUI component that satisfies the condition of minimum option number ≦ 1 ≦ maximum option number is extracted. In this case, since the number of options is “1”, the “label” having the minimum number of options “1” and the maximum number of options “1” is selected (see the master table 21 in FIG. 3), as shown in FIG. One “rice” is displayed as an option using “label”.

  When there are 2 to 5 choices to be displayed, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched using the set custom selection GUI type code as a key, and among the selection type GUI parts having the same custom selection GUI type code. Then, a selection system GUI component that satisfies the condition of minimum option number ≦ 2-5 ≦ maximum option number is extracted. In this case, since the number of options is “2 to 5”, “radio button” is selected as the selection GUI component (see the master table 21 in FIG. 3), and as shown in FIG. And “wheat” are displayed as options.

  When there are 6 to 10 options to be displayed, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched using the set custom selection GUI type code as a key, and the selected GUI type code with the same custom selection GUI type code is searched. Then, a selection system GUI component that satisfies the condition of minimum option number ≦ 6 to 10 ≦ maximum option number is extracted. In this case, since the number of options is “6 to 10”, the “pull-down list” is selected (see the master table 21 in FIG. 3), and the “pull-down list” is displayed as shown in FIG.

  When there are 11 or more options to be displayed, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched using the set custom selection GUI type code as a key, and among the selection type GUI parts having the same custom selection GUI type code, A selection-type GUI component that satisfies the condition of minimum option number ≦ 11 or more ≦ maximum option number is extracted. In this case, since the number of options is “11 or more”, “pop-up for single selection” is selected (see the master table 21 in FIG. 3), and as shown in FIG. “Wheat”, “Wheat”, “Rye”, etc. are displayed.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a flowchart when changing the custom selection GUI setting information using the program development function 20. This flowchart shows an example of changing the custom GUI selection type code and the maximum size.

  The GUI number of the custom selection GUI to be changed is acquired (S31 in FIG. 10). In the process of step S31, for example, when the position on the screen is specified, the GUI number arranged at the corresponding position in the screen definition information is acquired.

  Next, a custom selection GUI type code corresponding to the acquired GUI number is acquired (S32). In the process of step S32, for example, the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 stored in the GUI arrangement information storage unit is searched using the GUI number as a key, and the custom selection GUI type code stored in association with the GUI number is obtained. get.

  Next, the custom selection GUI type code and the maximum size are changed (S33). In the process of step S33, for example, the custom selection GUI setting information 16 stored in the GUI setting information storage unit is searched using the acquired custom selection GUI type code as a key, and the custom GUI of the corresponding custom selection GUI setting information 16 is searched. Change the type code and maximum size.

  Next, the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 is updated (S34). In the process of step S34, the custom selection GUI type code corresponding to the GUI number of the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18 is changed to the newly set custom selection GUI type code.

  According to the above processing, when the custom selection GUI to be arranged on the screen or the maximum size is changed according to the request of the system user, the program itself is simply modified by modifying the custom selection GUI setting information 16 and the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18. Since it is not necessary to correct the problem, the correction work becomes easy.

  According to the above-described embodiment, since the optimum selection system GUI component is automatically selected and displayed according to the number of options to be displayed, the number of options to be displayed by the user during the operation of the display program is reduced. Even if it is changed, there is no need to customize the display program. Further, since there is no need to customize the display program, the program verification work is also unnecessary.

  In addition, if the number of options cannot be determined uniquely, for example, even if the content and number of options change according to the access authority of the user even on the same display screen, it depends on the number of options to be displayed. It is possible to automatically select an optimal selection system GUI component and display options.

  Furthermore, even if it is desired to change the type of the custom selection GUI during operation, it is only necessary to change the custom selection GUI setting information 16 and the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18, so that the correction work is simplified.

  In the above-described embodiment, the position on the screen and the GUI number are associated with each other and stored in the custom GUI arrangement information 18, and the custom selection GUI type code and the GUI designation information are associated with each other and stored in the custom selection GUI setting information 16. However, for example, the position on the screen and the custom selection GUI type may be directly associated with each other. In this case, the custom selection GUI can be specified from the position on the screen without creating the custom selection GUI arrangement information 18. Information specifying the maximum display size may be stored in association with the screen definition information.

  Further, when there is no need to provide a plurality of custom selection GUI types such as single selection, multiple selection, MIX selection, etc., a plurality of selection GUIs are not provided without providing a custom selection GUI type code for specifying the custom selection GUI type. The minimum number of options and the maximum number of options may be stored, and the selection-type GUI component may be automatically selected based on the number of options and the minimum option number and the maximum option number.
