Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve displaying efficiency and to rapidly confirm processing completion by providing an icon forming means to eras a window and to form the icon, a re-displaying means to re-display the iconed window and a job monitoring module to monitor a job during the execution. CONSTITUTION:When the ob of a batch processing is executed, a job 17, which becomes an object for a job momitoring mdule 16, is designaed. When the batch processing is started, the job monitoring module 16 non-displays a window 12 to execute the job by the icon forming means 14 and the icon 13 to show the non-displaying window is displayed. Thereafter, the job monitoring module continues to monitor the designated job and waits for the job completion or the error generation of the job. When the job is completed or the error occurs, the job monitoring module re-displays and completes the icon window. Thus, the displaying efficiency is improved and the completion confirmation of the processing is executed rapidly.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an automatic window control method when batch processing is executed on a window system.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a user has used a pointing device such as a mouse to convert a window into an icon and display the iconized content on the window.

Furthermore, when a window is turned into an icon, it is necessary to periodically display the window to confirm that batch processing has completed.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional method described above, a user has to use a pointing device such as a mouse to turn a window into an icon when executing a batch process and to display the window again after the process is completed.

Additionally, if the batch process is turned into an icon, it is impossible to know when the batch process has finished, so the user has to display a window to check.

[Means to solve the problem]

The automatic control method for windows during execution of batch processing according to the present invention, in a multi-window system, includes an iconization means for erasing a window and turning it into an icon, a redisplay means for redisplaying the iconized window, and monitoring a job being executed. The system is configured with a job monitoring module.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 11 is a multi-window system;
2 is a window on the multi-window system; 13 is an icon indicating a hidden window; 14 is iconization means for hiding the window and converting it into an icon; 15
is a redisplay means to display an iconized window,
Reference numeral 16 represents a job monitoring module that monitors the completion of a specified job and the occurrence of an error, and 17 represents a job executed by a user.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the processing of this embodiment.

A user specifies a target job 17 to the job monitoring module 16 when executing a batch processing job. When batch processing is started, the job monitoring module 16 uses the iconization means 14 to hide the window 12 in which the job was executed and display an icon 13 indicating the hidden window (step 21). The module continues to monitor the specified job (
Step 22): Wait for job completion or job error occurrence. (Step 23) When the job ends or an error occurs, the job monitoring module displays the iconized window again and ends (Step 24).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention can improve the display efficiency of a window system by automating the process of hiding the window during which a batch processing job is being executed, and can quickly detect the end of a job or the occurrence of an error. be able to.
