Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate a user interface and to further flexibly deal with the extension and change of a system by defining selectable jobs respectively concerning a password and a terminal and displaying only the jobs, for which job start is allowed to both the password and the terminal, in the case of selective picture display. CONSTITUTION:When the password is inputted on a password input picture 5 in the case of executing the job, a password file 2 is read with the password as a key and next, a terminal name currently operating a program is inputted. With the terminal name as a key, a terminal file 7 is read and the contents of the respective files 2 and 7 are collated so as to prepare a job selection picture 6 by checking matching between the jobs for which the job start is allowed to both the password and the terminal. The relevant job is started by inputting a job number to this displayed job selection picture 6. Thus, labor for inputting the password each time can be saved and the job picture to be displayed at each terminal can be made variable.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a display method for a terminal screen by an electronic computer.

[Conventional technology]

When displaying a task selection screen in an electromagnetic computer system, the task selection items on the screen are fixed, and all executable task names are displayed as selection items. In addition, job selection and password management for maintaining confidentiality are all done on the same screen. Figure 4 (a) shows this screen configuration. In the figure, (1) shows executable task names, numbers that specify each task name, password manual section, and password manual section that displays the number selection section. The concurrent job selection screen (2) is a password file in which execution permitted/disallowed job numbers are filed for each password, and (3) is the business screen when a predetermined job is selected. The correspondence between the password and whether or not the business is allowed to start is stored in a password file on the disk. Based on the number manually entered together with the password, it is checked whether the manually entered password permits or disallows the execution of the selected task.

When performing a task, enter the password “ on the task selection screen (1)
A" and business number "1" manually, the password file (2) is checked to determine whether or not the start of business is permitted for that password, and if it is,
Start the selected task. In this case, in the password file (2), task 1 is permitted for the password "A", so task 1 is started. If password B and task number "1" are entered manually, the task 2 screen will not be displayed and an error will occur because the task is not permitted to start.

If the above procedure were to be expressed as a flowchart, it would be shown in Figure 4 (b
5-1) Display the job selection screen on the terminal as shown in ).
, through the screen, manually input a number specifying the business name to be selected along with a password (S-2).

In the password file (2), the contents of the file are read based on the input password (S-5-31), and it is checked whether the selected task cannot be executed using the manually entered password (S- 4). If it is impossible, an error message indicating that the task cannot be executed is displayed on the screen (5-5). If it is not possible, switch to the screen for the selected task, and after completing the task, repeat step (s-i).
Return to , manually enter the password again, and start the next task (S-8), (S-7).

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional method, the user had to enter a password every time he finished task 1 and selected task 2, and also had to remember which tasks could be selected for the password. Furthermore, the tasks displayed on each terminal cannot be changed, which hinders the diversity of terminal devices.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a screen display method that eliminates the need to enter passwords manually every time, and allows the business screen displayed on each terminal to be made variable. purpose.

[Means to solve the problem]

The screen display method according to the present invention uses a password entered through a terminal connected to a computer as a key, and a password file containing the names of each business whose execution is permitted for each password, and a password file containing each business name that is permitted to start execution for each password, and a password file for each terminal name. It is equipped with a terminal file containing the names of each business that is permitted to start execution, and each business name read from the password file according to the input password and each terminal file read from the terminal file according to the terminal name on which the password was input. Check the matching with the job name, display the job selection screen on the terminal showing each job name that is permitted to be executed with the terminal name and input password, and select the job side through the selection screen. It is displayed on the screen.

[Effect]

In this invention, on the password manual screen, first a password is input, the password file corresponding to this password and the terminal file corresponding to the terminal are read out, and only the tasks permitted by both are displayed on the screen. Lists the tasks that are permitted using the input password.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a configuration diagram of a system implementing a screen display method according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, (2) is the password file, (7) is the terminal file, (9) is the central processing unit (CPU) that performs file management/access, screen data processing, etc., and (11) is the terminal, which is the display with keyboard. be.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the file contents of each of the above-mentioned files (2) and (7) and the screen display contents of the above-mentioned display (10). In the figure, (3) is the business screen, (5)
is the password input screen where only the password is entered, (6
) is a task selection screen defined by the password entered on the password input screen (5) and the operating terminal.

Next, the operation of this embodiment according to the above configuration will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the password "A" is entered on the password manual screen (5) during business execution, the password file (2) is read using that password as a key (S-11
) ~ (S13). Next, manually enter the name of the terminal on which the program is currently running (S-14), and press the key to read the terminal file (7) (S-15). The contents of each file are compared, and the password and terminal are both checked to match the tasks for which the start of the task is permitted (S-16), and the task selection screen (6) is created (S-17). For example, the terminal “
If you enter the password “B” manually in “A”, the job selection screen (8
), jobs 2 and 3 are displayed, but job 1 is not displayed because although it is allowed to start the job on terminal "I", it is not authorized with password "B".

The user manually enters the job number on the displayed job selection screen (S-18), (S-19), and starts the corresponding job.

When the corresponding task is completed (S-21), the screen returns to the task selection screen and only the permitted tasks are displayed again.

In the above flowchart, the return after the corresponding task is completed can be any time after reading the password file and before outputting the selection screen.

It is good if the initial screen contains not only a password but also something that can identify the individual, such as the operator's name.

The job selection screen is the same with a mouse interface as well as a number manual interface.

Further, data input from a file may be changed to data input from memory.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, task selection and password input are separated on the screen, and selectable tasks can be changed to
Each terminal is defined, and when the selection screen is displayed, only the tasks for which the password terminal is allowed to start are displayed, which simplifies the user interface and makes it possible to respond flexibly to system expansion and changes. .
