Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for selecting items collectively, and more particularly to a technique for changing an item to be selected in accordance with an instructed position in an item.

  It is already well known and widely used to operate the information displayed in a list with a pointing device such as a mouse and to select the information in response to an input. The information displayed in the list includes a plurality of items such as name, size, update date and time, and such information is often displayed together.

  After the information displayed in the list is selected, it follows a processing flow in which some processing is executed on the selected information. Depending on the content of processing to be performed, there are cases where a plurality of items are desired to be selected. For example, when an examination list is displayed, if examinations are to be performed from now on, it may be better to select multiple examinations with the same patient ID at the same time. . Several methods are known when trying to select a plurality of these pieces of information. When using only a pointing device, specify a range by dragging and dropping to specify multiple ranges. In the case where an input means such as a keyboard is provided together with the pointing device, there is a method in which a plurality of designations are performed by performing a selection operation while pressing a specific key.

In addition, when searching for these items and narrowing down only those satisfying a specific condition, a technique for switching the sorting method and selecting information to be narrowed is also known (Patent Document 1).

  When a plurality of pieces of information displayed in the list are selected on the touch panel, it is conceivable that when information in a non-selected state is pressed, the state changes to a selected state, and when pressed again, the state returns to a non-selected state. However, when a lot of information is selected, many operations are required. When selecting an area by drag-and-drop operation, you can select only those that are continuous on the display. Further, even when information is searched and selected based on the result, there is a problem that the operation is complicated on the touch panel.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and relates to a technique for selecting items collectively, and in particular, provides a technique for changing an item to be selected according to an instructed position in the item.

In order to solve this problem, the selection device of the present invention has the following configuration. That is,
A selection device for selecting an item from a list including a plurality of items displayed on a display means,
A selection means for selecting an item by indicating the displayed list;
Display control means for changing the display pattern of the list according to the content of the item selected by the selection means and the position in the item instructed by the selection means, and displaying on the display means;
Is provided.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily select a plurality of items displayed in a list.

  Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram of the first embodiment. First, the display control unit 1000 displays a list of patient information on the display 1004 (S2001). The presence / absence of an instruction from the mouse 1005 or the touch panel 1006 is determined (S2002). If an instruction is input, the designated coordinates are acquired from the list (S2003).

  Thereafter, the display control unit 1000 determines whether or not the instructed coordinates are within an item in the patient information list on the GUI (S2004), and if an out-of-item in the patient information list is instructed, determination of input (S2002) Return to. If the item in the patient information list is instructed, the item corresponding to the input coordinates is acquired (S2005), and further the coordinates indicating the item are acquired (S2006).

  The display control unit 1000 determines from the instructed coordinates whether the instructed position is to the left of 20% of the entire selection item (S2007). If the display control unit 1000 determines that the left is 20% or more, patient information including an item indicating a content equal to or less than a numerical value as the content of the selected item is selected from the list (S2008). For example, when the content of the selected item is 2008.6.30, an item having a date smaller than 2008.6.30 is selected.

  If the content of the item is a numerical value such as the number of images to be taken, a value lower than that is selected, and if it is a character string such as a patient name, character string comparison is performed to select information including the corresponding item.

  Then, the display control unit 1000 paints the background of the selected patient information with the pattern A (S2009). Thereafter, the process returns to the determination of the input instruction (S2002). If it is determined that the selection position instructed by the selection means is not to the left of 20% of the entire selection item (S2007), it is determined whether the selection position is to the right of 20% of the entire selection item (S2010). If it is determined that it is right from 20%, the patient information including the contents more than the selection item is selected from the list (S2011).

  For example, when the content of the selected item is 2008.6.30, an item having a date greater than 2008.6.30 is selected. If the content of the item is a numerical value such as the number of radiographs, a value higher than that is selected, and if it is a character string such as a patient name, character string comparison is performed to select information including the corresponding item.

  Then, the background of the selected patient information is painted with pattern B (S2012). Thereafter, the process returns to the input determination (S2002). If it is determined that the selected position is not to the right of 20% of the entire selection item (S2010), an item including the same content as the selection item is selected from the patient information list (S2013). Then, the display control unit 1000 fills the background of the selected patient information with the pattern C (S2014). Thereafter, the process returns to the input determination (S2002).

  As described above, the display control unit 1000 changes the display pattern indicating the state in which the item is selected according to the selected area in the item.
