[Shortcut display control processing]
Next, a control procedure of shortcut display control processing executed in the server 2 when a screen transition operation is performed using the shortcut key described above will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a control procedure of shortcut display control processing.

When the shortcut display control process is started, the CPU 21 first determines whether or not a shortcut code (shortcut key) has been entered in the text box A1 (step S1).

When it is determined in step S1 that the shortcut code has not been input (step S1; NO), the CPU 21 repeats the determination process of step S1 until the shortcut code is input.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S1 that a shortcut code has been entered (step S1; YES), the CPU 21 determines that the number of digits of the entered shortcut code is the maximum number of digits (6 digits) that can be entered in the text box A1. (step S2).

If it is determined in step S2 that the number of digits of the entered shortcut code is the maximum number of digits (6 digits) that can be entered in the text box A1 (step S2; YES), the CPU 21 outputs the shortcut code shown in FIG. Referring to the correspondence table T, it is determined whether or not there is a transition screen corresponding to the input shortcut code (step S3).

In step S3, when it is determined that there is no transition screen corresponding to the input shortcut code (step S3; NO), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S1, and repeats the subsequent processes.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3 that there is a transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code that has been input (step S3; YES), the CPU 21 displays the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code (6-digit shortcut code) on the terminal. It is displayed on the display unit 35 of the device 3 (step S4). Specifically, for example, when the shortcut code "010102" (see FIG. 4) is entered, there is a transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code without waiting for one second after the shortcut code is entered. is determined, and the quotation (A4 vertical) input screen 44 corresponding to the shortcut code is displayed on the display unit 35 . Then, the CPU 21 terminates the shortcut display control process.

Further, when it is determined in step S2 that the number of digits of the entered shortcut code is not the maximum number of digits (6 digits) that can be entered in the text box A1 (step S2; NO), the CPU 21 executes the shortcut code in step S1. After the shortcut code is determined to have been input, it is determined whether or not additional input has been made to the shortcut code within one second (step S5). Specifically, for example, when the shortcut code determined to have been input in step S1 is "0101", the shortcut code "0101" is entered within one second after the shortcut code "0101" is input. It is determined whether or not an input such as "01" or "02" has been made following the end.

If it is determined in step S5 that no additional input has been made to the shortcut code within one second after the shortcut code determined to have been input in step S1 (step S5 ; NO), the CPU 21 shifts the process to step S3 and performs the subsequent processes.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S5 that an additional input has been made to the shortcut code within one second after the shortcut code determined to have been input in step S1 (step S5 ; YES), the CPU 21 returns the process to step S2 and performs the subsequent processes.

<Invoice addition function>
Next, the slip addition function provided by the server 2 will be described. Here, the slip addition function is a function that can increase the variations of slips that can be created. This slip addition function makes it possible, for example, to create a slip in the form requested by a new customer.

For example, when a business partner requests a quotation in a format of B5 length, 4 lines of details, and no quantity, the user (employee of the company that introduced the sales management system 1) operates the operation unit 34 of the terminal device 3 Then, by performing a predetermined operation, the slip list L (see FIG. 10) provided by the server 2 is displayed on the display unit 35 of the terminal device 3 . The user searches for the written estimate in the above format requested by the business partner from the slip list L, and confirms the sales management number (sales management number) "1B" associated with the written estimate.

Next, the user enters the shortcut code "07011B" (see FIG. 4) as an additional code used when creating a new quotation into the text box A1 described above, and displays the quotation creation screen (not shown). ) is displayed on the display unit 35 of the terminal device 3 . Here, the first four digits "0701" of the shortcut code "07011B" is a code that instructs the creation of a new slip, and the last two digits "1B" is the quotation in the form requested by the above-mentioned business partner. It is the sales management number "1B" associated with the book. This makes it possible to create the quotation requested by the business partner.
Also, when the shortcut code "07011B" for creating a new quotation is entered in the text box A1, a button (not shown) corresponding to the quotation is added to the quotation input menu screen 43. It has become.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the server 2 is triggered by a code (shortcut code) formed by a combination of characters each having a predetermined number of characters (two characters) based on a user operation. A transition screen corresponding to the code is specified, and the specified transition screen is displayed on the display unit 35 of the terminal device 3 .
Therefore, when displaying a desired transition screen, it is not necessary to input a shortcut code and to operate an enter key (for example, an enter key), so that screen transition operations can be simplified.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, the server 2 is configured so that when the number of characters of the shortcut code input based on the user operation is less than the maximum number of characters that can be input (for example, 6 characters) (for example, 4 characters), , after a predetermined time (e.g., 1 second) has elapsed since the shortcut code was entered, the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code is specified. It is possible to prevent the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code (for example, "0101") being input from being erroneously specified and displayed on the display unit 35. - 特許庁

Further, according to the present embodiment, when the number of characters of the shortcut code input based on the user operation is the maximum number of characters that can be input (for example, 6 characters), the server 2 waits for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute). Since the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code is specified without waiting for progress, the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code can be specified efficiently. Therefore, when a shortcut code having the maximum number of characters that can be entered is entered, the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code can be quickly displayed on the display unit 35 .

Further, according to the present embodiment, each of the characters consisting of a predetermined unit number of characters (two characters) constituting the shortcut code is displayed in each layer of the process of transitioning to the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code based on the button operation. Since it is associated with the identification character attached to the button to be operated on the screen, it is attached to the button to be operated on the screen of each hierarchy each time an operation for transitioning to a desired screen is performed based on the button operation. The identification characters become conspicuous, and the shortcut code for transitioning to the desired screen can be easily remembered.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when an additional code (for example, "07011B") is input based on user operation, the server 2 creates a new transition screen (new slip ( B5 vertical / 4 lines of details / no number of entries) creation screen) and display the specified new transition screen on the display unit 35, so by using the additional code, a new transition screen provided by the server 2 function can be used.

Further, according to the present embodiment, when an additional code is input based on a user operation, the server 2 presses a button for displaying a new transition screen corresponding to the additional code on the display unit 35. Since it is arranged on the predetermined screen, the new transition screen can be displayed on the display unit 35 by operating the button after the button is arranged.
Therefore, it is possible to save the trouble of checking the additional code and inputting the additional code each time the new transition screen is displayed on the display unit 35, thereby improving the user's convenience.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the server 2 accepts the input of the shortcut code, and when the input of the shortcut code is accepted, the shortcut code that can specify each of the plurality of hierarchized transition screens. Based on the code correspondence table T, the transition screen corresponding to the shortcut code is specified, and the specified transition screen is displayed without displaying the transition screens of each hierarchy until the specified transition screen is displayed. 35 is displayed.
Therefore, when a desired transition screen is displayed, the desired transition screen can be directly displayed without going through the display of the transition screens of the respective hierarchies simply by inputting the shortcut code corresponding to the desired transition screen. Therefore, the operation of screen transition can be simplified.

Although the present invention has been specifically described above based on the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified without departing from the gist thereof.
For example, in the above embodiment, the maximum number of characters of the shortcut code is 6 characters, but it can be changed as appropriate according to the position of the lowest layer of the transitionable screen. Also, the unit character number of the shortcut code may be one character or two or more characters.

Further, in the above embodiment, the shortcut code is input by key input to the text box A1, but the shortcut code may be input by handwriting input based on user operation, for example.

Moreover, in the above-described embodiments, an example of using an HDD, SSD, EEPROM, etc. as a computer-readable medium for the program according to the present invention has been disclosed, but the present invention is not limited to this example.
