Description

The present invention relates to a screen generation system for generating a screen by arranging fields each individually defining a field name, a field length, and a field type in a screen range formed by juxtaposing a predetermined number of rows having a predetermined number of digits . about screen generating program and an image forming method.

  In general, for various business processes, a system is used to search and register by inputting data from the screen, and the screen design and screen definition used in such a system are created. Proposals related to development tools have been made (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  As shown in FIG. 15, such a business screen includes each field that individually defines a field name (item name), a field length (number of digits), and a field type (input format such as pull-down, check, and text). , And efficiently arranged without waste in the screen range in which the number of columns and the number of lines are set.

In order to create such a business screen, conventionally, a development tool such as a GUI (Graphical User Interface) is used, and each field is efficiently arranged manually by visual inspection. Or
The fields are formally arranged by the automatic generation tool as shown in FIG.
JP-A-10-307715

  In this way, when a screen in which a large number of fields are arranged as shown in FIG. 15 is generated manually by visual inspection, the arrangement priority order and arrangement conditions (field A follows field A, for example, The address must come after the zip code. For this reason, the load at the time of screen design becomes high, and it is difficult to efficiently arrange the fields on the screen (arrange many items on the screen).

  In addition, specification changes to a once completed screen, such as adding a field or changing the field length, became more difficult as the number of input / output fields already arranged on the screen became larger, and the degree of influence of the modification was greater. . That is, correction of a complicated screen with many display items often involves repeated trials and errors while designing the screen, which places a heavy burden on the operator. For example, when it becomes impossible to enter the screen due to addition of an item or extension of the field length, it is necessary to change the screen design. In this case, it is determined whether the necessary items have been laid out. If not, move one, two,. It is determined whether necessary items have been laid out again by this operation. If the layout is not possible, determine whether it can be handled by moving the field, and if it is possible, move the field one, two, etc. again. If you can't handle just moving it, review the entire screen design.

  Such a trial and error is an extremely complicated operation when there are many items already arranged, and places a heavy burden on the operator.

  In addition, when an automatic screen generation tool is used, since a plurality of fields are automatically arranged, screen generation itself is easy. However, as shown in FIG. In other words, a wasteful arrangement space is generated, and the arrangement cannot be performed efficiently.

An object of the present invention, the screen generating system can be placed in a waste efficiently without automatically screen a limited range a plurality of fields, it is to provide a screen generating program and an image forming method.

  The screen generation system according to the present invention is a screen generation system that generates a screen by arranging each field individually defined as to whether it fits within a screen range formed by juxtaposing a predetermined number of rows having a predetermined number of digits, One row buffer having the number of digits corresponding to a row and capable of holding the field, and a table storage for storing a plurality of tables set for each field using the display priority of each field and the presence / absence of continuous designation as attributes. And the table stored in the table storage means are read in accordance with the display priority, and it is determined whether the field of the read table falls within the number of remaining lines that can be displayed in the preset screen range. When the remaining number of lines is entered, field determination means for determining whether or not the number of remaining digits can be stored in the line buffer, and this field determination. If it is determined by the means that it is within the remaining number of digits, the field is additionally held within the remaining number of digits in the row buffer, and the field addition is made to shift to reading of the next table by the field determination unit And the field determination means, if it is determined that the field does not fall within the remaining number of digits, the continuous designation presence / absence determination means for determining whether or not this field is continuously designated, and the continuous designation presence / absence judgment means If it is determined that there is no field, the field search means searches for another field that fits within the remaining number of digits of the row buffer, and adds a field that fits to the row buffer, and the continuous designation presence / absence determination Within the remaining number of digits in the row buffer as a result of the search by the field search means and when it is determined by the means that there is continuous designation. If a field that fits was not found, the field held in the line buffer was output as a screen line and the line buffer was cleared. The cleared line buffer did not fit within the remaining number of digits. Line feed processing means for performing a line feed process for holding a field, and subtracting the number of output field lines from the number of remaining lines that can be displayed in the screen range, and shifting to reading of the next table by the table determination means It is characterized by comprising.

  In the screen generation system of the present invention, the table storage means stores a plurality of tables set for each field using the display priority of each field as an attribute, and the line feed processing means does not require continuous designation. As a result of the search by the field search means, if a field that falls within the remaining number of digits of the line buffer is not found, the field held in the line buffer is output as a screen line, and the line buffer is cleared. A line feed process may be performed in which the cleared line buffer holds a field that does not fit within the remaining number of digits.

The screen generation program and the image forming method according to the present invention include a step of sequentially reading a plurality of tables set for each field using the display priority of each field and the presence / absence of continuous designation as attributes, according to the display priority. It is determined whether the field of the table falls within the preset number of remaining lines that can be displayed in the screen range. If the number of remaining lines falls, the line having the number of storage digits corresponding to the line is determined. Determining whether the field fits within the remaining storable number of bits of the buffer, and if the result of the determination fits within the remaining number of digits, within the remaining number of digits of the line buffer; If the field does not fit within the remaining number of digits, and the step of moving to the next table reading and the determination result does not fit within the remaining number of digits If this field is not consecutively specified, another field that fits in the remaining number of digits in the line buffer is searched, and if there is a field that fits, this is replaced by one line. The step of adding to the buffer and when the field that does not fit within the remaining number of digits is continuously specified, and as a result of the search by the field search means, the field that fits within the remaining number of digits of the line buffer is not found Outputs the fields held in the line buffer as screen lines, clears the line buffer, and causes the cleared line buffer to hold fields that did not fit in the remaining number of digits. Subtract the number of output field lines from the number of remaining lines that can be displayed in the screen range in accordance with the step and output from the line buffer. Te, and having the step of shifting to read the next table.
Further, in the screen generation program and the image forming method of the present invention, the step of reading a plurality of tables in which the display priority of each field is set as an attribute for each field is sequentially read according to the display priority, and a line feed processing step If a field that fits within the remaining number of digits in the line buffer is not found as a result of searching for another field that fits within the remaining number of digits in the line buffer without the requirement for continuous specification, The retained field may be output as a screen line to clear the line buffer, and the cleared line buffer may retain the field that did not fit within the remaining number of digits.

  According to the present invention, considerations such as the item arrangement order at the time of screen design and continuous display presence / absence are registered in the development tool, and points to be considered at the time of screen design, that is, efficiency of screen generation is incorporated into the program as a logic and automated. Therefore, screen generation is automated, the screen generation load is reduced, and the input / output fields are efficiently arranged in a limited screen display range. Furthermore, it becomes easy to correct the screen once created.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, an example of a screen created according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This screen is a business screen related to insurance contract management. As shown in the figure, there is a field for entering the presence / absence of “existing policy information” by pull-down display, a field for entering “current policy content” by checking, , Fields for inputting the “contract settlement date” by text,... Are efficiently arranged within a limited screen range. Here, the screen range is a range formed by juxtaposing a predetermined number of horizontal rows having a predetermined number of digits in the vertical direction.

  In order to create such a screen, as shown in FIG. 5, the screen generation tool, which is a development tool, sets the field name (item name) and field length (digits) for the field to be placed on the screen. Number), field type (pull-down, check, text input method, etc.), etc. FIG. 5 shows a state where the definition contents are displayed and output. In the present invention, in addition to these, in order to efficiently arrange each field at the time of screen generation, the display priority and presence / absence of continuous designation, which are considerations of the screen design, are set as attributes, and a table for each field. This is stored in a table storage means to be described later. FIG. 6 shows this state.

  In FIG. 6, tables (1) to (8) show priority for input / output fields laid out on the screen, in addition to the number of digits corresponding to the field length (numerical values in parentheses). Designation of the degree (the degree that the user wants to display it as much as possible) and the continuous designation for continuous display (tables (2), (3), and (4) in the figure are designated continuously) are set as attributes. Here, continuous designation is to specify the fields to be displayed side by side on the same line, or to be displayed continuously at the end of the line and at the beginning of the next line. For example, the fields of “zip code” and “address” In the example of FIG. 4, continuous designation is performed for the fields “age condition” and “child”.

  Further, the buffer (0) shown at the top of FIG. 6 functions as a row buffer described later, and has the number of digits corresponding to the rows constituting the screen range. In the example of the figure, the number of columns that can be displayed in one line is set as 15 digits. As will be described later, the present invention sequentially reads the tables (1) to (8) in accordance with the priorities, and generates a screen while determining whether or not the field fits in the buffer (0). .

[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram showing the concept of such a screen generation system. In FIG. 1, the screen generation system is realized by a computer system including a display unit that displays a screen 12, a computer main body having a CPU 14, a storage unit including a screen generation base data storage unit 11 and an attribute data storage unit 13. The The screen generation base data storage unit 11 stores, for example, background color data, data such as drawing a ruled line in any part, data related to the size of the display area, and the like that are the basis for generating the screen 12. Has been. The attribute data storage unit 13 stores attributes such as field size, priority, and continuous designation, and stores a table for each field in which attributes are set for the above-described fields. 2) is formed in this portion. The CPU 14 is a part that executes a program for generating the screen 12 by taking in each data of the screen generation base data storage unit 11 and the attribute data storage unit 13. Logic that achieves efficiency is incorporated.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the CPU 14 has a line buffer 21, a field determination unit 22, a field addition unit 23, a continuous designation presence / absence determination unit 24, a field search unit 25, and a line feed processing unit, as shown in FIG. 26. The outline of the function realizing means of these means will be described below.

  The row buffer 21 has the number of digits corresponding to the row of the screen 12, is configured to hold the data of the field, and corresponds to the buffer (0) shown in FIG.

  The field determination unit 22 reads the fields of the tables (1) to (8) shown in FIG. 6 from the table storage unit 13a according to the priority, and the read field can display a preset screen range first. Determine if the remaining number of lines is entered. As a result, when the remaining number of lines is entered, it is determined whether the read field is within the remaining number of digits that can be stored in the line buffer 21.

  When the determination result by the field determination unit 22 falls within the remaining number of digits, the field addition unit 23 additionally holds the field within the remaining number of digits of the row buffer 21. Thereafter, the process proceeds to reading of the next table by the field determination means 22.

  When the determination result by the field determination unit 22 does not fit within the remaining number of digits, the continuous designation presence / absence determination unit 24 continues this field as shown in the tables (2), (3), and (4) shown in FIG. Determine if specified.

  When the determination result by the continuous designation presence / absence determination unit 24 is that there is no continuous designation, the field search unit 25 searches another table for a field that can be contained within the remaining number of digits in the line buffer 21. As a result, if there is a field that fits, it is added to the row buffer 21.

  The line feed processing unit 26 has a case where the determination result by the continuous specification presence / absence determination unit 24 has a continuous specification, and a case where a field that falls within the remaining number of digits of the line buffer 21 is not found as a result of the search by the table search unit 25. In each of the above, the field already held in the row buffer 21 is output as a row of the screen 12, and the row buffer 21 is cleared. Then, a line feed process for newly holding a field that does not fit in the remaining number of digits in the cleared line buffer 21 is performed. Then, the number of field lines output as the lines on the screen 12 is subtracted from the number of remaining lines in the screen range. Thereafter, the process proceeds to reading of the next table by the field determination means 22.

  Hereinafter, the details of the screen generation operation by each of these means will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the operation explanatory diagrams of FIGS.

  In FIG. 3, the field determination means 22 reads the first field (step 301). That is, as shown in FIG. 7A, the field of priority 1 is read from the table (1). At the same time, the remaining number of lines in the preset screen range and the number of display digits in one line are read from the screen range setting means (not shown). Then, it is determined whether the read priority 1 field is included in the remaining number of rows and the remaining number of digits (step 302). Since it is the first field read, the number of remaining lines is naturally entered, and since the number of columns that can be held is 15 digits, the field of priority 1 is 10 digits, and therefore the line buffer 21 is also entered. Thus (step 302: Yes), the table addition means 23 adds and holds it in the row buffer 21 (step 303). For this reason, the display frame of the row buffer 21, that is, the remaining number of digits is 15-10 = 5 digits.

  Thereafter, the process shifts again to reading of the next table by the field determination means 22, and the field of priority 2 is read from the next table (2) as shown in FIG. 7B (step 305). Then, it is determined whether or not the read priority field 2 also falls within the remaining number of rows and the remaining number of digits (step 302). Since the priority 2 table has 5 digits and the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 is 5 digits, this priority 2 field also enters the row buffer 21 (step 302: Yes). 23, the data is additionally held in the row buffer 21 (step 303). With this operation, the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 is 5-5 = 0 digits.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to reading of the next table again by the field determining means 22, and the field of priority 3 is read from the next table (3) as shown in FIG. 8A (step 305). The read priority 3 field has 2 digits, but the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 is 0 digits, so it cannot enter the row buffer 21 (No in Step 302). In this case, the continuous designation presence / absence determining unit 24 determines whether the priority 3 field is continuously designated (step 306). Since the field of priority 3 is continuously designated, the answer is Yes, and the line break processing means 26 displays the fields of priority 1 and priority 2 already held in the line buffer 21, respectively, on the first line of the screen 12. And the row buffer 21 is cleared (step 307). Then, a line feed process is performed in which the cleared line buffer 21 newly holds a field of priority 3 that did not fit within the remaining number of digits (step 308). Then, the number of field lines p (1 line in this example) output as the lines on the screen 12 is subtracted from the number of remaining lines in the screen range (step 309). Thereafter, the process proceeds to reading of the next table by the field determination means 22, and the field of priority 4 designated continuously is read from the table (4) (step 305).

  Since the read priority 4 field has 10 digits and the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 is 15-2 = 13 digits, the priority 4 field enters the row buffer 21 (step 302). : Yes), the table adding means 23 adds and holds it in the row buffer 21 (step 303). By this operation, the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 becomes 13−10 = 3 digits.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8B, a field of priority 5 is read from the table (5) (step 305). Since the read field of priority 5 is 10 digits and the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 is 3, it cannot enter the row buffer 21 (No in Step 302). Further, since there is no continuous designation for the field of priority 5 (step 306: No), this priority n is set to the counter value t (step 310), and until a field that falls within the remaining number of digits (3 digits) is found, sequentially. A table (counter value t = t + 1) is searched (step 311). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8C, the next priority 6 field is 2 digits and there is no continuous designation (step 312: No). It is added to the remaining column (3 digits) of the buffer 21 (step 313).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8D, the priority level 5 field (10 digits) that did not enter the row buffer 21 is once again entered into the remaining column (1 digit) of the row buffer 21. Since it does not enter, the next priority field is searched (step 311).

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9A, the table is searched with the priority lowered until a field that falls in the remaining column (one digit) of the row buffer 21 is found. In this embodiment, even if the field with the lowest priority 8 is searched, there is no field that falls in the remaining column (one digit), so the line buffer 21 output / clear process (step 307) by the line feed processing means 26 from step 311 ). In other words, the fields of priority 3, priority 4, and priority 6 that have been stored in the row buffer 21 so far are output as the second line display on the screen to clear the row buffer. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9B, a line feed process (step 308) is performed in which the cleared row buffer 21 retains the priority 5 field that did not fit in the remaining column (one digit). Further, the number p of output field lines is subtracted again from the remaining number of lines that can be displayed in the screen range (step 309), and the next table is read (step 305).

  In step 305, as shown in FIG. 9C, the field of priority 7 is read from the unread table (7) of the next order stored in the table storage means 13a. The priority 7 field has 10 digits, and the remaining number of columns in the row buffer 21 in which the priority 5 field is already held is 5 digits, so that it cannot enter the row buffer 21 (step 302). : No). Further, since there is no continuous designation for the field of priority 7 (step 306: No), the table is sequentially searched until a field that falls within the remaining number of columns (5 digits) is found (steps 310, 311). In this embodiment, since the next field of priority 8 is 5 digits and there is no continuous designation (step 312: No), this field of priority 8 is used as the remaining columns (5 digits) of the row buffer 21. (Step 313).

  Thereafter, a field search is performed in step 311. However, since the number of remaining columns in the row buffer 21 is zero, a field that falls into the remaining columns is naturally not found. For this reason, the process returns to the output / clear processing (step 307) of the line buffer 21 by the line feed processing means 26 again, and as shown in FIG. 9D, the priority 5 and priority 8 held in the line buffer 21 are obtained. Is output as the display on the third line of the screen, and the line buffer 21 is cleared. After this, line feed processing (step 308) is performed to retain the priority 7 field that did not fit in the remaining column (5 digits) in the previous processing, and output from the remaining number of lines that can be displayed in the screen range. The number p of field rows thus subtracted is again subtracted (step 309), and the next table is read (step 305). However, in the illustrated example, since all the fields are extracted from the table storage unit 13a, the fields are not extracted, and the field of priority 7 held in the row buffer 21 is displayed on the screen 4 as illustrated. It outputs as a display of the line, clears the line buffer 21, and ends the process (the end step is not shown).

  By the above processing, the display priority is slightly changed, but while maintaining the continuous display rule, a plurality of fields having various sizes are efficiently arranged to effectively utilize the limited display range of the screen. A screen as shown in FIG. 4 can be automatically generated.

[Second Embodiment]
In creating a screen, priority is given to arranging as many fields as possible in a limited screen display range, and display order, continuous display, etc. may be ignored. In such a case, processing may be performed by the logic shown in FIG. 11 according to the system configuration shown in FIG. The system configuration shown in FIG. 10 is obtained by removing the continuous designation presence / absence determining unit 24 from FIG. 2, and the logic shown in FIG. 11 is a step of determining the presence / absence of designation of continuous display from the logic shown in FIG. 312) is excluded. In these systems and logics, when the read field does not enter the remaining columns of the row buffer 21, the search is performed with priority given to the input to the row buffer 21 without regard to the presence / absence of continuous display designation (not as a determination condition). . If there is an entry, it is additionally held within the remaining number of digits in the row buffer 21 regardless of the priority order or continuous display designation. Therefore, a screen in which as many fields as possible are arranged in one line can be automatically generated.

  Further, the processing by the logic shown in FIG. 3 may be set as the standard mode, and the processing by the logic shown in FIG. 11 may be set in the space saving mode so that these two modes can be arbitrarily switched and selected.

  The above description is for the case of creating a new screen, but it can also be effectively applied to the case where the display content is changed for a once completed screen. In other words, it is more difficult to change a screen once completed, such as when a specification change (addition of screen, change of field length) occurs, and the more input / output fields are arranged on the screen. The degree of influence was great.

  For example, when the item shown in FIG. 12 is added to the screen created as shown in FIG. 4, if it is simply added, an additional item is added to the lower part of the screen shown in FIG. 4 as shown in FIG. Just a screen. In the screen as shown in FIG. 13, the display range is expanded as compared with the screen in FIG. Therefore, when the display range of the screen is limited, the display range may not be entered.

  In such a case, it may be possible to efficiently arrange the items by manually fitting the additional items into the vacant part of the display screen in FIG. 4, but the additional items do not fit in the empty space. In some cases, some items must be moved. However, moving an item that has already been arranged efficiently will affect other items, and it is extremely difficult to do this manually by hand, which places a heavy burden on the operator. Become.

  Therefore, each field including the additional items shown in FIG. 12 is stored in each table (1) to (n) of the table storage means 13a as shown in FIG. 6, and the screen is displayed by the logic shown in FIG. If the generation process is executed, as shown in FIG. 14, although the display priority is slightly changed, the display rule of continuous display designation is maintained, and each field is included in the limited display frame set in advance on the screen. Can be automatically generated.

  Further, if the system shown in FIG. 10 and the logic shown in FIG. 12 are used, it is possible to automatically generate a screen in a space-saving mode in which as many fields as possible are stored in one line, ignoring continuous display designation.

  In this way, even when the display content is changed for a once completed screen, the correction screen can be automatically generated in the standard mode or the space saving mode without giving a heavy burden to the operator. Effective screen generation becomes possible.

  As a result, the efficiency of screen modification by creating a new screen or changing specifications is improved, and complicated screen design work is reduced.
