Description

The present invention relates to a printer, in particular, the registration of various information on the display screen, edit, and it relates can be pulp printer and delete.

Conventionally, when various tables are registered in a stand-alone printer, the fields constituting the table are registered in order from the smallest field number (No.) (for example, from field number 1). That is, the field number of each field is registered so as to be a sequential number every time a field is added, and a list of each registered field is displayed on the screen of the display device in the order of registration. Once values are set for each field that makes up the table and the table is registered, a new field can be inserted between fields that have already been set, or a list of fields can be displayed at the time of correction, etc. Even if you want to change the display order when displaying, in the case of a table that has already been registered, the field number set for each field must be changed, so additional registration only for the current empty field (after the last field) The display order could not be changed.
FIG. 15 shows a configuration example of a conventional master table. As shown in the figure, each field constituting the master table is composed of items such as a field number (No.) specifying a field, a field name, a data type, and the number of digits.
In this example, for example, the field name of the field whose field number is 1 is “call number”, the data type is “preset”, and the number of digits is “005”. The field name of the field whose field number is 2 is “product name”, the data type is “double-byte”, and the number of digits is “015”. The field name of the field with field number 3 is “raw material name”, the data type is “double-byte”, and the number of digits is “250”. The field name of the field whose field number is 4 is “internal capacity”, the data type is “double-byte”, and the number of digits is “005”. The field name of the field with field number 5 is “price”, the data type is “price type”, and the number of digits is “005”.
FIG. 16 shows a display example of master data created from the master table of FIG. As shown in the figure, the master data has specific values set in the fields of the master table. In this example, the field name “call number” is “00001”, the field name “product name” is “A bento”, the field name “raw material name” is “rice,...”, And the field name “content” is “250 g”. (Gram) ”,“ ¥ 500 ”, and the like are set as the field name“ Price ”. The master data is displayed on the screen of the display device, and can be corrected and deleted as appropriate. Fields that cannot be displayed on the screen at a time can be appropriately displayed by operating the scroll button 10. In FIG. 16, the field name “price” and its set value “¥ 500” are drawn with dotted lines, which indicates that this field is not displayed on the screen of the display device. Therefore, in order to display the field name “price” and its set value “¥ 500”, the scroll button 10 may be operated.
In addition, in a portable terminal capable of displaying various menus on the display unit, by setting a plurality of sort conditions in advance and selecting a desired sort condition from the sort conditions, the display order of the menu items according to the selected sort condition Is changed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2002-268790 A

  However, in the background art, the display order of each field when registering or correcting a master table or master data is fixed. For example, at the time of correction, the fields to be corrected are displayed in order from the smallest field number. After the display, the correction is performed. When the field number is large, it may take a long time to display the field, and there is a problem that the correction cannot be performed efficiently. Some sort conditions can be set, but sort conditions are set in advance, and only the desired one can be selected, and the display order of menu items cannot be arbitrarily changed. was there.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and after creating a master table composed of a plurality of fields, the display order of each field when displaying the list can be arbitrarily changed. To do.

The printer of claim 1, a pulp printer to print the value set in the data field of the master data created based on the master table, the master table, least field names even and more The master data is composed of the field name and the data column, and is composed of first information defining the fields of the second field and second information indicating the order in which the fields are displayed. For each field, the first information, the first setting means for setting the second information, the second setting means for setting a value in the data column of the master data, a master table, and a master Display means for displaying a list of data in the order indicated by the second information, and correcting at least the first information of the master table or the master Correction means for correcting the value set in the data column of the data, and an unused call number of the master data are set, and each field of the master data displayed in the order indicated by the second information And additional means for inputting the data value.

  According to the printer of the present invention, by setting a small number as the second information of the field that frequently needs to be corrected, the fields that frequently need to be corrected relatively quickly when the field list is displayed. Since it can be displayed, it is possible to perform operations such as correction efficiently.

Based on the display content of the LCD 105 and the position of the touched portion of the touch panel, the selection operation or button operation of the selection item by the user is recognized.

  FIG. 2 shows a data configuration example of the master table. As shown in the figure, the master table is composed of one or a plurality of fields, and each field includes a display order number (No.) indicating the order in which each field is displayed and a field number for identifying each field. (No.), a field name indicating the name of each field, a data type of each field, and each item such as the number of digits of each field.

  In this example, for example, the display order number of the field whose field number is 1 is “1”, the field name is “call number”, the data type is “preset”, and the number of digits is “005”. The display order number of the field with the field number 2 is “3”, the field name is “product name”, the data type is “double-byte”, and the number of digits is “015”. The display order number of the field with the field number 3 is “4”, the field name is “raw material name”, the data type is “double-byte”, and the number of digits is “250”. The display order number of the field with the field number 4 is “5”, the field name is “content”, the data type is “double-byte”, and the number of digits is “005”. The display order number of the field with field number 5 is “2”, the field name is “price”, the data type is “price type”, and the number of digits is “005”.

  FIG. 3 shows a setting example of master data created based on the master table shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the master data is obtained by setting specific values in each field of the master table. Each field is displayed in the order of the display order number of the master table. In this example, the field name “call number” is “00001”, the field name “price” is “¥ 500”, the field name “product name” is “A bento”, the field name “raw material name” is “rice,. ”And“ 250 g ”are set as the field name“ content ”. The master data is displayed on the screen of the display device, and can be corrected, changed, and deleted as appropriate by operating the operation unit 104. Fields that cannot be displayed on the screen can be sequentially displayed by operating the scroll buttons 201 displayed on the screen using a mouse or the like (not shown). In the figure, the field name “internal capacity” and the set value “250 g” displayed with dotted lines indicate that the field could not be displayed on the screen.

  Next, a processing procedure for adding a master table and the like will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step S <b> 1, the CPU 101 creates display data for displaying a registration mode selection screen on the LCD 105 and supplies the display data to the LCD 105. The LCD 105 displays a registration mode selection screen as shown in FIG. 5 based on the display data supplied from the CPU 101. In this registration mode selection screen, the selection item “master / selection table” for instructing registration of the master table and the detailed description are omitted, but the selection item “master / selection” for selecting other registration modes is omitted. “Data”, “Schedule”, “Word Table”, “Layout”, and the like are displayed, and a desired selection item can be selected by operating the operation unit 104. It is assumed that the selection item “master / selection table” is selected. In this case, a master / selection table selection screen is displayed as shown in FIG. On this master / selection table selection screen, selection items “master table” and “selection table” are displayed. In addition, a “return” button 200 operated when returning to the previous screen is displayed.

  Next, in step S2, the CPU 101 determines whether or not the selection item “master table” has been selected on the master / selection table selection screen of FIG. When it is determined that the selection item “master table” is not selected, the process proceeds to step S4, and processing according to the other selected selection item is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the selection item “master table” is selected, the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S <b> 3, the CPU 101 reads the table name (file name) of the registered master table from the card 110, creates display data for displaying a list of table names of the registered master table, and displays it on the LCD 105. Supplied. The LCD 105 displays a list of table names of registered master tables based on the display data supplied from the CPU 101. If there is no registered master table, nothing is displayed. If all registered master tables cannot be displayed on the LCD 105 screen at once, all the master tables can be displayed by operating the scroll button 201 (FIG. 7) displayed on the screen under the control of the CPU 101. It has become.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a master table list display screen on which a list of table names of the master table is displayed. As shown in the figure, on the master table list display screen, the table numbers (table numbers) and table names of the already registered master tables are displayed. In this example, the table number “0001” and the table name “sample master table” are displayed. Furthermore, a scroll button 201 for scrolling the table number and table name of each table up and down, an “add” button 202 for adding a new table, and a “correct” button 203 for correcting the table, A “delete” button 204 for deleting the table and a “return” button 200 for returning to the previous screen are displayed.

  Next, in step S5, it is determined whether or not the “add” button 202 has been operated to add a new master table. As a result, if it is determined that the addition of a new master table has been selected, the process proceeds to step S6. On the other hand, if it is determined that the addition of a new master table has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S14.

  In step S6, under the control of the CPU 101, an unused number is set as a table number for the newly added master table, and a master table name input screen for inputting the table name of the master table is displayed on the LCD 105. Is done. In step S <b> 7, it is determined whether the operation unit 104 is operated and “table name” is input. If it is determined that the “table name” has been input, the process proceeds to step S8, and the input “table name” is set and registered in the card 110 as the table name of the master table to be newly added. That is, on the master table name input screen, the user who manages the printer operates the operation unit 104 to input a table name. In this example, a “product information table” is input. Next, the “confirm” button 206 (FIG. 8) is operated. Thereby, the CPU 101 determines the input table name “product information table” and registers and registers it in the card 110.

  FIG. 8 shows a state in which a table name is input on the master table name input screen. A “confirm” button 206 is operated to confirm the input table name. The “return” button 200 is operated when returning to the previous screen.

  Next, in step S <b> 9, a master table detail screen is displayed on the LCD 105 under the control of the CPU 101. This screen is operated when scrolling the display contents, titles of items such as display order number, field number, field name, data type, number of digits, etc., input fields for entering each item for each field. Scroll button 201 to be operated, “Insert” button 207 to be operated when inserting a field, “Delete” button 204 to be operated to delete a field, and “Copy” operated to copy a field A button 208, an “edit” button 209 that is operated when editing, a “confirm” button 206 that is operated when the input content is confirmed, and a “close” button 210 that is operated when the screen is closed. Each is displayed. A number set in advance by the CPU 101 is displayed in the field number input field.

  Next, in step S10, it is determined whether or not the “edit” button 209 has been operated. If it is determined that the “edit” button 209 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “edit” button 209 has not been operated, the process proceeds to step S21. In step S21, processing according to the other operated buttons is executed, and the process proceeds to step S13.

  In step S <b> 11, under the control of the CPU 101, setting values of each field (field name, data type, number of digits, etc.) input by operating the operation unit 104 by the user are temporarily stored in the RAM 109. Next, in step S <b> 12, under the control of the CPU 101, the setting value of the display order number for each field input by operating the operation unit 104 by the user is temporarily stored in the RAM 109. FIG. 9 shows an example in which setting values for each field are input on the master table details screen. The setting values for each field as shown in FIG. 9 are temporarily stored in the RAM 109.

  When the process of step S12 or the process of step S21 ends, the process proceeds to step S13, and it is determined whether or not the “confirm” button 206 has been operated by the user. If it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has been operated by the user, the process proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has not been operated by the user, the process returns to step S11, and the processes after step S11 are repeatedly executed.

  In step S22, under the control of the CPU 101, the setting values of each field of the new master table temporarily stored in the RAM 109 are written to the card 110, and a new master table is added.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the display order number of the field whose field number is “1” is set to “1”, the field name is “calling number”, the data type is “preset”, and the number of digits is “005”. Yes. The field number “2” has a display order number “3”, a field name “product name”, a data type “full-width”, and a digit number “015”. The field number “3” has a display order number “4”, a field name “raw material name”, a data type “full-width”, and a digit number “250”. The field number “4” has a display order number “5”, a field name “content”, a data type “double-byte”, and a digit number “005”. In the field number “5”, the display order number is “2”, the field name is “price”, the data type is “price type”, and the number of digits is “005”. The setting value of each item in each field can be input by the user operating the operation unit 104.

  If the CPU 101 determines in step S5 that the “add” button 202 has not been selected on the master table list display screen in FIG. 7, the process proceeds to step S14, and the master table is updated by operating the operation unit 104 by the user. It is determined whether one has been selected. If it is determined that one of the master tables has been selected, the process proceeds to step S15. In step S15, it is determined whether or not the “correct” button 203 has been selected. If it is determined that the “correction” button 203 has been selected, the process proceeds to step S16, and correction processing is executed. That is, since the master table detail screen corresponding to the selected master table having the layout as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed, the desired field is displayed by operating the scroll button 201 to correct the desired item. At this time, the fields are displayed in the order of the display order number. The corrected content is supplied to the RAM 109 and temporarily stored under the control of the CPU 101.

  Next, in step S17, it is determined whether or not the “confirm” button 206 has been operated. If it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has not been operated, it is determined that the correction work has not yet been completed, the process returns to step S16, and the processes after step S16 are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has been operated, it is determined that the correction work has been completed, the process proceeds to step S18, and the card is controlled based on the correction contents temporarily stored in the RAM 109 under the control of the CPU 101. The master table stored in 110 is updated.

  If it is determined in step S15 that the “modify” button 203 has not been operated on the master table list display screen of FIG. 7, the process proceeds to step S19 to determine whether or not the “delete” button 204 has been operated. The When it is determined that the “delete” button 204 has not been operated, the process returns to step S15, and the processes after step S15 are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “delete” button 204 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S20, and the master table selected in step S14 is deleted from the card 110 under the control of the CPU 101.

  When the process of step S22, step S18, or step S20 ends, this process ends.

  Next, a master data registration procedure will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The master data is a set of specific values for each field whose field name, data type, number of digits, etc. are defined by the master table.

  First, in step S31, under the control of the CPU 101, a registration mode selection screen as shown in FIG. It is assumed that the selection item “master / selection data” is selected by the user. In this case, a master / selection data registration screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed under the control of the CPU 101, and the user operates the operation unit 104 to select a registration mode to be registered. In this example, a selection item “master data” indicating the master data registration mode and a selection item “selection data” indicating the selection data registration mode are displayed, and one of them can be selected.

  In step S32, the CPU 101 determines whether or not a master data registration mode has been selected. If it is determined that the master data registration mode has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S34, and other processes corresponding to the selected other registration mode are executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the master data registration mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S33.

  In step S <b> 33, display data for displaying a master table selection screen is created and supplied to the LCD 105 under the control of the CPU 101. As a result, a master table selection screen as shown in FIG. On this master table selection screen, a list of defined master tables is displayed. That is, the table number and the table name corresponding to each master table are displayed. In addition, a scroll button 201, a “confirm” button 206, and a “return” button 200 are displayed.

  Next, in step S35, it is determined whether one of the master tables displayed on the master table selection screen has been selected. As a result, when it is determined that one of the master tables is not selected, the process of step S35 is repeatedly executed. When it is determined that one of the master tables is selected, the process proceeds to step S36.

  In step S 36, the CPU 101 reads out master data created based on the master table selected in step S 35 from the card 110, creates display data for displaying the list, and supplies the display data to the LCD 105. . As a result, the master data list display screen is displayed on the LCD 105 as shown in FIG. A list of master data is displayed on the master data list display screen. That is, the master data number and the product name constituting each master data are displayed. In addition, a scroll button 201, an “add” button 202, a “modify” button 203, a “delete” button 204, a “detail” button 211, and a “return” button 200 are displayed.

  Next, in step S37, it is determined whether or not the “add” button 202 has been selected. If it is determined that the “Add” button 202 has been selected, the process proceeds to step S38. In step S <b> 38, the CPU 101 sets an unused call number and creates display data for displaying a master data registration screen in which the fields are arranged in the order of the display order number and is supplied to the LCD 105. As a result, a master data registration screen is displayed on the LCD 105. On this master data registration screen, field names of fields and data input fields for setting specific values are displayed in the order of display order numbers set for each field. In addition, a scroll button 201, a “confirm” button 206, and a “return” button 200 are displayed.

  Next, in step S39, master data input processing is performed. That is, the specific setting contents of each field input by the user operating the operation unit 104 are temporarily supplied to the RAM 109 and stored under the control of the CPU 101. In step S40, it is determined whether or not the “confirm” button 206 has been operated. If it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has not been operated, the process of step S39 is repeatedly executed, and the master data input process is subsequently executed. FIG. 14 shows a display example of a master data registration screen in which the value of each field is set by the user. In this example, “00004” is set to the field name “call number”, “¥ 500” is set to the field name “price”, and “D lunch” is set to the field name “product name”. In the field name “raw material name”, “rice, fried chicken, shrimp fry,...” Is set, and in the field name “content”, “250 g” is set. The field name “internal capacity” and its set value “250 g” are drawn with dotted lines, which indicates that this field is not displayed on the LCD 105. Therefore, the scroll button 201 may be operated to display the field name “internal capacity” and the set value “250 g”. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S40 that the “confirm” button 206 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S41, and the specific setting contents of each field set in step S39 are supplied to the card 110 as master data and stored. Is done.

  If it is determined in step S37 that the “add” button 202 has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S42 to determine whether one of the master data has been selected. If it is determined that one of the master data has not been selected, the process returns to step S37, and the processes after step S37 are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that one of the master data has been selected, the process proceeds to step S43.

  In step S43, it is determined whether or not the “correct” button 203 has been operated. If it is determined that the “correction” button 203 has been selected, the process proceeds to step S44, and correction processing is executed. That is, when the “modify” button 203 is selected, the field name of each field of the selected master data is displayed on the LCD 105 and the setting value is displayed in the display order set for each field in the data input column. The numbers are displayed in order. The user inputs a desired set value in the data input column of the desired field name to be corrected. The input set value is temporarily supplied to and stored in the RAM 109.

  Next, in step S45, it is determined whether or not the “confirm” button 206 has been operated. As a result, when it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has not been operated, the process of step S44 is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “confirm” button 206 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S46, and the setting value stored in the RAM 109 is supplied to and stored in the card 110 under the control of the CPU 101. Thereby, the master data stored in the card 110 is updated.

  If it is determined in step S43 that the “correct” button 203 has not been operated, the process proceeds to step S47, where it is determined whether or not the “delete” button 204 has been operated. If it is determined that the “delete” button 204 has not been operated, the process returns to step S43, and the processes after step S43 are repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if it is determined that the “delete” button 204 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S 48, and the master data selected in step S 42 is deleted from the card 110 under the control of the CPU 101.

  When the process of step S41, step S46, or step S48 ends, this process ends.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when adding and correcting the master table and master data, the fields are displayed in the order of the display order numbers. By setting a relatively small number as the number, the field can be displayed on the LCD 105 before another field in which a number larger than the display order number of the field is set. As a result, it is possible to display a field that is frequently corrected earlier than other fields that are not frequently corrected, and to quickly perform the correction work.

  In addition, since the display order number can be set for each field, even if a new field is added, it can be inserted between fields without adding it to the last line. By setting a desired number as the number, it is possible to arbitrarily set the display order when the list is displayed. Further, by changing the display order number, the order in which the fields are displayed in a list can be easily changed.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since the display order number can be freely set for each field, the degree of freedom in setting the order in which the fields are displayed in a list is high, and in any order. It can be displayed in a list. In addition, it can be easily changed after the display order number is set.

  It should be noted that the configuration and operation of the above-described embodiment are examples, and it goes without saying that they can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
