JPH03209575A - Optimizing device for data display position - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To optimize a data input position by simply inputting and displaying the data inputted and stored previously in a memory at a designated position. CONSTITUTION:When data are inputted and stored in a RAM 9, a control program is loaded into the RAM 9 from a floppy disk contained in a secondary storage 7 based on a loading program stored in a ROM 8. Then the data inputted via an input device 4 are processed by a CPU 3 based on the control program. This processing result is temporarily stored in a data area of the RAM 9, and the data stored in this data area are displayed on a display device 11 via a sub-CPU 10. Thus the data input position is optimized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a data display position optimization device, and in particular, the present invention relates to a data display position optimization device, and in particular, the present invention relates to a data display position optimization device. The present invention relates to a data display position optimization device having a function of easily displaying two inputs at a specified position on a screen.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional electronic computers such as personal computers and office computers, data is stored in the user's Data input was time-consuming because it was input as a character string at a specified position based on position judgment. There is also a system in which the system automatically determines and displays the data input position.
5OFTWARE BG/M User Manual (Value Display Portion) (Kyuu Denki)" In this case, the data input position may not necessarily be the location intended by the user.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In contrast to the prior art, an object of the present invention is to display data input and stored in advance by a data processing device on the screen during data processing using an electronic computer such as a personal computer or an office computer. Easily enter the specified position.

By making it possible to display data, it is possible to optimize the data input position.

[Means to solve the problem]

The above object is achieved by using a method in which data inputted in advance by a user of a data processing device and stored is displayed at a position specified by the data processing device.

[Effect]

After data is input and stored in advance by the user of the data processing device, the mode is changed to the data position designation input mode by the user's selection or the like, and the data is input and displayed at the position designated by the user.

Since the roles are shared among the devices in this way, malfunctions will not occur if each device individually fulfills its role.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, as an example of data processing, a method for inputting numerical data for specifying the position of each item in a graph will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a display example of a data position designation input screen that best represents the processing contents of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the embodiment device, and FIG. 3 is a board diagram of the input device (keyboard) 4 in FIG. In FIG. 2, 3 is a central processing unit (hereinafter abbreviated as CPU), 4 is an input device consisting of a keyboard or tablet, 5 is a key row thereof, 6 is a printer, 7 is a secondary storage device consisting of a floppy disk, and 8 is a secondary storage device consisting of a floppy disk. A read-only memory (hereinafter referred to as ROM), 9 a random access memory (hereinafter referred to as a RAM), and 10 a sub-processing unit (hereinafter referred to as a RAM);
11 is a display device including a cathode ray tube or the like.

In the above configuration, data is first input and stored by the user of the data processing device. At this time, RAMQ
FIG. 4 shows the column format of data stored in the memory. After inputting data and storing it in RAMQ, the user creates a graph as follows. A control program is loaded into the RAM 9 from the floppy disk in the secondary storage device 7 according to the load program in the ROMB, and the data input from the input device 4 is processed by the CPU 3 based on this control program, and the results are processed by the CPU 3. RAM9
The data stored in this data area is displayed on the display device 11 by the sub CPU 10.
The information may be displayed on the screen, printed by the printer 6, or stored on a floppy disk in the secondary storage device 7.

FIG. 3 shows various keys in the key string 5 in FIG. 2, respectively.

(In this case, it is assumed that the graph has already been displayed on the screen in the form shown in FIG. 5 using the prior art.

An example is shown in which the graph type is a pie chart. ) With the graph displayed as described above, by responding to the data position designation input (for example, by pressing a key corresponding to the designation in key row 5).
, the data position specification input function (see Fig. 1) is entered, and as described above, each time the user specifies the data inputted by the user of the data processing device through the input device 4 and stored in the RAMQ (Fig. 4). are displayed one by one in order.

The position at this time can be specified by moving the position specifying cursor 1 to the specified position. The processing screen contents at this time are
The above-mentioned FIG. 1 and the processing procedure at this time are shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 6, the processing contents will be specifically described below. First, by the key input and the key analysis process 20, the position specifying cursor 1 is pressed with the 'Move' key, the 'Execute' key, the 'Cancel' key, and the 'function' which indicates the end of the data position specifying input function (see Figure 1). The end 'key (each in the key row 5 (FIG. 3)) is detected. Other keys are not marked here.

Here, if the 'Move' key of position designating cursor 1 is pressed, 212 moves the position designating cursor 1.22 If the 'Execute' key is pressed, 23, the position designating cursor 1 is displayed on the screen at that time. Find the coordinates (x, y coordinates) of 24
, the data pointed to by the next processing data pointer 13 in the data row in the RAM 9 (FIG. 4) is retrieved 25 into an appropriate area in the RAMQ, and the data is displayed at the above-mentioned storage coordinate position on the screen 26, and the next processing data pointer 13 Check the position 27, if it is before the end, advance the next processing data pointer 13 by one 29, if it is the end, process the error 28
After the error processing 28 is completed, the key human power,
Then, the process returns to the key analysis process 20.

If the 'Cancel' key is accepted, 30, the position of the next processing data pointer 13 is checked 27, and if it is after the beginning, the next processing data pointer 13 is moved back by one, 33, the data pointed to by it (last The data displayed on the screen) is deleted from the screen 34, and if it is the first, error processing 32 is performed, and after the error processing 32 is completed, the process returns to the key manual and key analysis processing 2o.

It is assumed that the data position designation input function (see FIG. 1) is terminated by pressing the ``Function End'' key.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the data input and stored in advance by the user of the data processing device can be inputted and displayed at a specified position on the screen by the data processing device, and the data input position can be optimized. can. Further, there are effects such as the ability to easily perform data input and display processing on the screen.
