Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability by copying input data stored in a storage means in accordance with an instruction mark which shifts to items corresponding to identification codes with a copying position instruction means. CONSTITUTION:An output means 111 displays a display screen including plural items, the identification codes corresponding to plural items, and input data. When an input means 113 instructs the shift of the instruction mark from the display screen, and instructs input data corresponding to the identification code where the instruction mark is positioned as a copying source, the storage means 115 stores input data. When the input means 113 instructs the identification code as the shift position of the instruction mark, the copying position instruction means 117 shifts the instruction mark to the item corresponding to the identification code and decides a copying destination. When the input means 113 instructs copying, a copying means 119 copies input data stored in the storage means 115 in accordance with the instruction mark which the copying position instruction means 117 shifts to the copying destination. Thus, the copying of data is facilitated and operability is improved.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Improved operability with respect to a data copying method that copies data between items in an information processing terminal device, etc. that specifies a corresponding item using a guide marker on a display screen. In a data copying method in which input data is copied by specifying the relevant item among multiple items using indicators on a display screen, a plurality of items and identification codes corresponding to each of these multiple items are used. and input data; an input means for instructing the movement of the indicator on the display screen and copying the input data; a storage means for storing in accordance with a copy instruction; a copy position indicating means for determining a copy destination by moving a pointer to an item corresponding to the identification code based on an identification code instructed by the input means; and a copy position indicating means. and copying means for copying the input data stored in the storage means in accordance with the indicator moved by the means.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a data copying method for copying data between items in an information processing terminal device or the like in which a corresponding item is designated by a guide marker on a display screen.

For example, a terminal device installed at a counter of a financial institution displays items such as account number and account on the screen, and data can be input by specifying these items with a guidance marker.

By using guidance markers, items can be specified arbitrarily, and the operator can visually check each displayed item, so it can be said that it is a data input method that is easy to operate and has fewer operational errors. .

[Prior Art] FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a data input method using an information processing terminal device using a guide marker.

FIG. 5(a) shows the state of the display screen before data input.

The screen has one data entry area, three character strings: item A, item B, and item C, item numbers 1 to 3 corresponding to items A to C, three sets of parentheses, and the three sets of parentheses. It consists of three data output areas a, b and C surrounded by each.

Furthermore, there is one guide marker for setting the data displayed in the data input area to any one of the data output areas and the mill data output area C, which indicates item A, for example.

In this screen, when inputting data "abcdef" to item B, move the guidance marker on the display screen to item B using the marker movement key on the keyboard (not shown), as shown in Figure 5(b). let Thereafter, input "abcdef" into the data input area by operating the keyboard.

Next, in order to set this input data in the data output area indicated by the guidance marker, for example, when the execution key is pressed, "abcdef" is set in the data output area as shown in FIG. 5(C). Is displayed.

Next, the data copying process of this information processing terminal device will be explained. Consider the case where this data is copied to the data output area C when "abcdef" is set in the data output area C.

When the guide marker moves to item B and the copy key on the keyboard is pressed, the data "abcdef" in the data output area is displayed in the data input area, as shown in FIG. 5(C).

In this state, if you move the guidance marker to item C and press the execution key on the keyboard, "abcdef" will be displayed in the data output area C indicated by the guidance marker, as shown in Figure 5(d). .

Further, this information processing terminal device has an item number corresponding to each item, and has a function of moving a guidance marker by specifying this item number. When an item number is input into the data input area from the keyboard and the marker movement key is subsequently pressed, the guidance marker moves to the specified item number. Therefore, it is convenient when the display positions on the same screen are far apart or when specifying items on other screens.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Incidentally, in the conventional method described above, marker movement is performed by operating a marker movement key or by inputting an item number into a data input area and pressing a marker movement key. Further, data copying is performed by first displaying the data to be copied indicated by the guide marker in the data input area using the copy key, then moving the guide marker to the copy destination and pressing the setting key.

In this method, when copying data, the copy data is displayed in the data input area, so the marker can only be moved to the copy destination by operating the marker movement key, and cannot be moved by specifying an item number. Therefore, when the copy source item is far from the copy destination item, there is a problem in that the number of times the marker movement key must be pressed increases, making data input operations cumbersome.

The present invention was created in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a data copying method that improves operability.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the data copying method of the present invention.

In the figure, output means 111 displays a display screen including a plurality of items, identification codes corresponding to each of the plurality of items, and input data.

The input means 113 instructs to move a pointer on the display screen and instructs to copy input data.

The storage means 115 stores input data corresponding to the indicator according to a copy instruction from the input means 111.

Based on the identification code instructed by the input unit 113, the copying position specifying means 117 moves the indicator to the item corresponding to the identification code and determines the copy destination.

The copying means 119 copies the input data stored in the storage means 115 according to the indicator moved by the copying position indicating means 117.

Therefore, the specified copy data is stored as a whole,
The apparatus is configured to input an identification code, designate a copy position, and copy data.

[For production]

The output means 111 displays a display screen including a plurality of items, identification codes corresponding to each of the plurality of items, and input data. When the input means 113 instructs the movement of the pointer from the display screen and specifies input data corresponding to the identification code where the pointer is located as a copy source, the storage means 115 stores the input data.

When the input means 113 specifies an identification code as the moving position of the indicator, the copy position instruction means 117 moves the indicator to the item corresponding to the identification code and determines the copy destination.

When the input means 113 instructs copying, the copying means 119 copies the input data stored in the storage means 115 in accordance with the indicator moved to the copy destination by the copying position indicating means 117.

In the present invention, since the indicator is directly moved to the copy destination by inputting the identification code, copying of input data is facilitated and operability is improved.

The output means 111 corresponds to the CR7 display device 211 and the input/output control section 215.

Input means 113 corresponds to keyboard 213 and input/output control section 215.

The storage means 115 corresponds to the copy data storage area 221.

The copy position instruction means 117 includes a ROM 217 and a CPU.
It corresponds to 225.

Copying means 119 corresponds to ROM 217 and CPU 225.

Examples of the present invention will be described below assuming that the correspondence relationship as described above exists.

1-Back cover ■Ω bottom In FIG. 2, the information processing terminal device 21O of the embodiment is as follows.
A CR7 display device 211 for displaying a screen, a keyboard 213 for inputting data, and a CR7 display device 21
1 and the keyboard 213; a ROM 217 that stores programs that perform overall operations such as displaying the screen, processing input data, copying data, and transmitting data; and a workpiece that stores data. It includes a RAM 223 having an area 219 and a copy data storage area 219 for storing data to be copied, and a CPU 225. The CPU 225 executes programs stored in the ROM 217.

Next, the information processing terminal device 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above.
The data copying operation will be explained below.

FIG. 3 shows an operational flowchart of screen control processing.

First, the CPU 225 controls the CR via the input/output control unit 215.
7. For example, a screen as shown in FIG. 5(a) is displayed on the display device 211 (step 311).

After displaying the screen on the CR7 display device 211, the CPU 22
Step 5 determines whether there is any input from the keyboard (step 313).

When there is an input from the keyboard 213, the CPU 225 determines whether the pressed key is the control a-t-1 (step 315).

If the pressed key is not a control key (negative determination), the CPU 225 stores the input data in the work area 219.
(step 317), the process returns to step 313 to determine whether there is any input from the keyboard 213.

If the pressed key is a control key (affirmative determination), the CPU 225 first determines the type of the pressed key (step 319 in FIG. 3).

If the pressed key is the end key, the CPU 22
5 performs termination processing.

If the pressed key is other than the save key, arrow key, restore key, or end key, the CPU 225 performs processing according to the pressed key (step 321L, then returns to step 313 and determines whether there is an input from the keyboard 213). For example, when the send key is pressed, the CPU 225 sends the processing data to the host computer (not shown) via the transmission/reception interface (not shown). teeth,
The CPU 225 displays the data stored in the work area 219 in the data output area corresponding to the item number indicated by the guide marker.

If the pressed key is a save key, the CPU 22
5 copies the data displayed in the data output area corresponding to the item number indicated by the guidance marker to the data storage area 221.
Save it to step 323), then step 313
The process returns to step 213 to determine whether there is any input from the keyboard 213.

If the pressed key is an arrow key, the CPU 22
Step 5 moves the marker to the specified item number based on the data stored in the work area 219 (step 327).
), and then returns to step 313 to determine whether there is any input from the keyboard 213.

However, if there is an error in the input item number, the process returns to step 313 after performing error processing such as displaying an error message. If no data is stored in the work area 219, the CPU 225 moves the guidance marker according to the type of arrow key (for example, "↓" or "→"), and then returns to step 313. .

If the pressed key is a restoration key, the CPU 22
5 reads out the data saved in the copy data storage area 221 in step 323 and displays it in the data output area corresponding to the item number indicated by the guidance marker (step 3
29). After that, return to step 313 and use keyboard 2.
The presence or absence of input from 13 is determined.

FIG. 4 shows an explanatory diagram of data copy processing. The screen configuration in this figure is similar to the screen configuration in FIG.

For example, when copying the data "abcdef" in the data output area corresponding to item B indicated by the guide marker, as shown in FIG. 4(a), when the save key is pressed, the CPU 225 "abcdef" is stored in the copy data storage area 221 (step 325).

'Next, as shown in FIG. 4(b), when data "3" is input in the data input area, the CPU 225 stores "3°" in the work area 219 (step 317). When pressed, the CPU 225 moves the guidance marker to item C according to the “3°°” stored in the work area 219, as shown in FIG. 4(C) (step 3).
27).

Next, as shown in FIG. 4(d), when the restore key is pressed, the CPU 225 displays "abcdef" stored in the copy data storage area 221 in the data output area C corresponding to item C ( step 329).

(2) Stop By providing the copy data storage area 221 to save copy data in this way, it becomes possible to move the guide marker that specifies the item number of the copy destination even in data copy processing. In particular, when the processing screen spans two or more screens, it is possible to specify an item number that is not displayed on the screen and move the marker to that item number, which greatly contributes to improved operability.

Note that in the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the processing device is an information processing terminal device, but it may also be a workstation, for example.

Although the arrow keys are used to move the marker, other keys may also be used.

Although the document storage means is a RAM, for example, a magnetic disk device may be used.

Furthermore, in ``Correspondence between Examples and Figure 1'',
Although the correspondence between the present invention and the embodiments has been described, those skilled in the art will easily assume that the present invention is not limited to this and that there are various modifications.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the present invention, by providing a copy data storage area and storing copy data, it becomes possible to move the guidance marker specifying the item number even during copy processing, improving operability and making it more practical. It is extremely useful.
