Abstract

PURPOSE:To miniaturize program size, to shorten programming time and to reduce a bug occurring frequency by providing a data table for controlling pictures and displaying the pictures through the use of the table. CONSTITUTION:One block 3 includes a menu picture 1 or item pictures 2 selected from a submenu picture and plural pictures A display device is provided with the data table for controlling the picture, which contains the number of item pictures possessed by the block 3, the number of pages every item pictures and information used for switching and displaying the plane to the other block. Through the use of the data table, the pictures are selected and switched. Thus, labor and time for programming, and a bug occurring frequency can be reduced.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to a computer having a display device, in which the screen changes due to changes in events such as key input, external signal input, or data reception from a general-purpose interface. Concerning display methods for selecting, cutting, and displaying.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a method of displaying this kind of screen, it is known that software is created to display the menu screen or submenu screen and items selected from these screens separately on the I# screen, thereby displaying the screen on one screen. ing.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in such a method, each ll! 1iIf+
Since the programs are treated as completely different things, there are problems in that not only the program size becomes large and complicated, but also the program creation time becomes long and the incidence of software bugs increases.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a screen display method that can reduce the program size, shorten the program creation time, and reduce the incidence of software bugs.

[s! Means to solve the problem]

For the display device, the menu screen or submenu screen and the item screen selected from each screen are considered as one block, and the number of item screens held in this block, the number of pages for each item screen, and screen switching to other blocks. A screen system combination data table having information for display is provided.

[Effect]

By selecting and switching screens using the face plaster data table, it is possible to reduce the effort and time required to create a program, and to reduce the bug occurrence rate.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the invention in detail. This shows the concept of a screen control block (screen control data table; hereinafter simply referred to as CCB).
This is an example in which one block 3 of the CCB is composed of a menu screen 1 and an item screen (hereinafter simply referred to as an item) 2 to be selected from now on. Note that each side 1 and 2 is shown as consisting of vI number of pages.

As shown in Figure 2, the CCB information includes the number of items held 3A, the number of menu pages 3B, and the number of pages for each item 3C, 3D.
It consists of...etc. Furthermore, the number of pages for each item is 3C.
(3D) MSB indicates block transition flag 3E,
When this is “1”, the contents of 3C (3D) are other CCB
This is the CCB number for transitioning to the block. In other words,
The number of held items 3A indicates how many item circles there are to be selected from the menu screen 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and the number of menu pages 3B indicates how many pages there are on the menu screen 1 as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the number of pages for each item is 3C.

3D indicates the number of pages selected for each item. However, when the MSB of each item's page number 3C, 3D is 1", the page number data 3C, 3I) becomes a CCB number indicating the transition to the menu of another CCB, and the item within the own CCB 0 indicates no selection Therefore, for example, if there is a screen configured as shown in Figure 3, the contents of the CCH will be shown as shown in Figure 4. and number 0
, 1, and 2. For example, in CCB 51, the number of items is 4, the number of menu pages is 1, and the number of pages for item 1゜3.4 is 10 and 20, respectively.
, 100, and it can be seen that item 2 is transferred as the menu of CCB 1, and the same is true for CCBs 52 and 33.

In this way, CCB is used as a data table,
Since screen information is efficiently summarized here, the core part of the program for displaying using this CCB will be standardized, and as a result, program creation time will be shortened and bugs will not occur. rate will also decrease.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, since screen information is organized into a CCB and displayed using this, it is possible to reduce the program size, and as a result, the program creation time is shortened and the bug occurrence rate is reduced. This brings about the advantages of
