[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention manages the operation history of the operator, such as the number of times the double-sided system is operated, and the @ degree, and the internal processing of this screen system is appropriate based on the data based on the past performance and the operator's self-judgment and input level of proficiency. The skill level is determined and the screen development specifications are created based on the skill level, and it consists of the following items.

a. Start Menu Screen This is a menu for starting the operation of the screen system, and the operator inputs the following necessary information for the screen system to develop the screen.

■ Operator identification code internal processing provides a key for searching files managed by individual operators.

The following operator identification coats can be applied:

・Name・Name Nα (IDNα) ・Others Also, input input θ of operator identification code; Finally, the following method can be applied.

・Keyboard input/IC card input By applying an IC card, operator personal information (operation history, skill level, etc.) can be stored in the IC cart, simplifying input operations and providing data to other systems. It can be used for various purposes.

- Simple fingerprint input operation and excellent data security.

・Other■ Implementation purpose item Specify the type of screen system to be operated (what screen operation will be performed from now on).

■ Skill level The operator's skill level is evaluated using internal processing using the following evaluation items.

・Number of operations Total number of operations since reaching the current proficiency level.

The more times you do it, the higher your proficiency level will be.

・Operation frequency: Recent operation interval since reaching the current proficiency level. It is evaluated that the shorter the interval, the higher the proficiency level.

・Operation content: Operation interruption rate after reaching the current proficiency level,
It is evaluated that the lower the interruption rate, the higher the proficiency level.

- Operator's own judgment This section is data input on the start menu screen, and reflects the operator's wishes regarding screen development specification creation in internal processing.

・The priority of each of the above items for proficiency evaluation is variable and will change depending on the characteristics of the screen system.

Furthermore, the skill level can be changed according to the operator's will even during operation, improving the usability of the screen system.

b. Acceptance of input data includes identification codes, implementation objectives, proficiency levels, etc. input by the operator, and is passed on to internal processing.

Judging the proficiency level Operation history data managed for each operator Based on this, the skill level of the relevant operator is evaluated.

judge. The judgment result is stored in a file as the latest proficiency level.

As an expression of proficiency, finite levels are expressed.

(Example) A, B, C, D 1.2, 3, 4, 5. ......10 The skill level of each operator is evaluated in the following manner.

(example) The level of proficiency is expressed as follows:

A (beginner)...O≦ε<10B (intermediate)・
...10≦i (70C (advanced)...
70≦E The evaluation formula is as follows.

i = f (atx1+azxz+aaxa+-)an
: Priority coefficient xn regarding item n : Evaluation item value The skill level is determined based on the value of ε determined by the above evaluation formula.

89 screen editing and output Based on the skill level of the relevant operator, the corresponding screen format and service information data are edited and output on the screen.

The higher the user's level of skill, the less service information data is required for settings, and the more items that can be set on the screen, the more the operations can be completed with fewer screens.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The flow of operations in this example is as follows.

a. Enter necessary data such as operator identification code on the start menu screen and start screen operations.

b. Internal processing determines the skill level of the operator based on operator input data and operation history data managed for each individual operator, and outputs a screen in a format according to the skill level.

C0 Here, if the operator is dissatisfied with the proficiency level determined by the internal processing, he can change the screen output format (development specifications) by inputting an instruction to review the proficiency level in the system use area.

By repeating steps d, b, and c, the operator advances the operation of the screen system.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the output screen format.

As shown in the general form, the screen area is roughly divided into the following three parts.

8. Service information display area This is a guidance display area for operators to perform operations such as setting data. Since kanji data, graphic data, etc. are generally used, this area takes time to display.

b, data entry canilia This is an area where the operator sets data.

It is normal for there to be almost no service display, and it does not take much time to display the service in this area.

C. System use area This area serves as an interface between the operator and internal processing, and the following items are set.

■Proficiency review data ■Write execution ■Setting data cancellation■Others This area is a display area whose size is always fixed, unlike a and b above.

In internal processing, by changing the display area sizes of the service information display area and the data input canister within this screen area, a screen suitable for the operator's skill level is edited and output.

In other words, in Figure 2, it is as follows.

■ Screen for proficiency level A The service information display area is large in size, making the guidance content more detailed and allowing even beginners to set data. However, since the service information display area is large, it takes time to display the screen, and many screens are required to reach the final page, which increases the overall operation time.

■ Screen for proficiency level B This is a screen layout for operators who are somewhat accustomed to operations.
By reducing service information and increasing the amount of configuration data that can be manually processed on a single screen, operation time and system overhead are reduced.

■Screen for proficiency level C This screen is for advanced operators, and contains as little service information as possible and increases the amount of data that can be set on the screen. By doing this, the number of pages of the screen system to be operated is reduced, resulting in a screen development specification that takes the shortest operation time and has the lowest system overhead among the three types.

FIG. 3 shows the system internal processing configuration of this example.

In this way, by managing the operation history of the screen system 11 for each operator and determining the skill level, it is possible to construct a screen system that can realize optimal screen development for each operator. Furthermore, as a secondary effect, the history data of this example can be used to create basic data for organizing groups of operators.

FIG. 4 shows a modification of the present invention. In this example, the embodiment shown in (5) changes the screen development specifications for each operator by making the layout of the screen output display area and output data content variable, improving usability and shortening operation time. , which was intended to reduce system overhead, by fixing the output format of the screen and changing whether or not the screen itself is displayed depending on the skill level (
This achieves the same effect as the example shown in 5).

In other words, it can be applied to electronic manual systems, etc.

As the user's skill level increases, the display of the detailed explanation screen will be skipped, reducing the overall operation time.

As a result, it is possible to construct an electronic manual system that is thorough for beginners, and an electronic manual system that focuses on important points for experienced users.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the screen development method can be made variable, it is possible to horizontally construct an easy-to-use man-machine system according to the level of the user.
