Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the editing work efficiency by displaying a display objective area with a rectangular area, which is obtained by reducing a display objective area at a preset ratio, in a window, and layout-displaying so as to understand visually and easily what part of this area the window shows. CONSTITUTION:A Wi part display recognition layout 1 provided at a left half upper corner of a window (Wi) 24 consists of rectangular areas 2, 3 respectively corresponding to a display objective area 15 and a display faceplate 23, and a colored rectangular area 4 corresponding to a display area 22 to be displayed in the Wi 24. The positional relation of the area 22 on the area 15 and the relative relation of the Wi 24 and the faceplate 23 can be seen directly on the basis of the relative relation of these areas 2 - 4. Even if largeness of the Wi 24 is changed, largeness of the area 2 is constant, but the area 4 is changed in relation to the largeness of the Wi 24. When a position of the Wi 24 on the faceplate 23 is changed, the layout 1 is moved with the Wi 24, but the positional relation of the areas 2, 4 is not changed, and only the relative position of the areas 3, 2 is changed. The editing work efficiency is thereby improved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a window display method on a display screen in an information processing device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the window display method, the display area 22 in the display target area 15 is displayed in a window 24 on the display screen 23 as shown in FIG. Move selectively.

Vertical window frame 9 and horizontal window frame 1 of window 24
Position display 11.12 displayed at 0 is display area 2
The relative position in the display target area 15 of No. 2 is shown.

The size and position of the vertical window frame 9 and horizontal window frame 10 of position display 11.12 are the size of the vertical frame 13 and horizontal frame 14 of the display area 22, and the position of the vertical frame 17 and horizontal frame 16 of the display target area 15, respectively. is relatively the same.

When scrolling the window, the position display 11.12 moves the vertical window frame 9 and the horizontal window frame 10, so that it can be seen which area on the display target area 15 the window is currently displaying. There is.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional window position display method uses the vertical window frame 9 and horizontal window frame 10 to display the position 11.1.
2, the position is not visually displayed and it is difficult for the operator to confirm the position.

Furthermore, when trying to expand the window 24 to cover the entire display screen, it is difficult to determine whether the entire display area to be displayed will fit within the display target area 15 from only the position display 11.12. there were.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a method for displaying a window on a display screen in an information processing device, in which the information processing device is provided with a rectangular display area that includes a display area of image data to be displayed in the window in advance; The display target area is displayed as a first rectangular area reduced by a predetermined reduction ratio, and the relationship between the first rectangular area and the display area is determined within the first rectangular area. The present invention is characterized by comprising a layout display means for displaying the display area of the window as a second rectangular area in a form similar to the relative positional relationship within the display target area.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1(A) is an enlarged view of a window partial display recognition layout 1 within a window, and FIG. Window partial display recognition layout 1
It is a figure which shows the example which is displayed.

In this embodiment, the window 24 has a window partial display recognition layout 1 in the upper left corner.

Window partial display recognition layout 1 is display target area 1
5, a rectangular area 3 corresponding to the display screen 23, and a colored rectangular area 4 corresponding to the display area 22 displayed on the window 24.

Due to the relative relationship between the rectangular areas, the positional relationship of the display area 22 on the display target area 15 and the relative positional relationship between the window 24 and the display screen 23 can be directly observed.

In this embodiment, even if the size of the window 24 changes, the size of the rectangular area 2 does not change and remains constant. However, the colored rectangular area 4 changes in proportion to the size of the window 24.

Furthermore, when the position of the window 24 on the display screen 23 is changed, the entire window partial display recognition layout 1 moves together with the window 24, but the positional relationship between the rectangular area 2 and the colored rectangular area 4 remains unchanged, and the rectangular area 3 rectangular area 2
Only the relative position to will change.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention.

The window scroll control section 200 and the window movement control section 201 are conventional parts.

The layout display means 204 of the present invention is the coordinate input conversion section 2
02 and a layout display section 203.

In the coordinate input conversion unit 202, the horizontal size 5 and vertical size 6 of the window partial display recognition layout 1 and the horizontal size 16 and vertical size 17 of the display target area 15 are input in advance, the conversion rate is calculated, and the layout is displayed. The rectangular area 2 is displayed on the window 24 via the section 203. When expanding or contracting the window, input the size again and update the conversion rate.

Next, the operation will be explained.

When the display area of the window 24 is scrolled, the display area 22 moves on the display target area 15. At that time, the coordinates 18.19 of the upper left corner on the display target area 15 of the display area 22, the coordinates 20.21 of the lower right corner, and the display screen 23
The coordinates 25 and 26 of the upper left corner of are input to the coordinate input conversion unit 202 via the window scroll control unit 200, and the relative coordinates on the window partial display recognition layout 1 are determined based on the conversion rate described above. Layout display section 203
creates rectangular area 3 on rectangular area 2 based on the converted coordinates.
and rectangular area 4 are displayed.

When the window 24 is moved on the display screen 23, the position of the display area 22 on the display target area 15 does not change. The updated coordinates 25, 26 of the upper left corner of the display screen 23 input via the window movement control unit 201 or the relative coordinates on the window partial display recognition layout 1 are input to the coordinate input conversion unit 202, and the relative coordinates on the window partial display recognition layout 1 are converted to the above conversion rate. The layout display unit 203 displays a rectangular area 3 on the rectangular area 2 based on the converted coordinates.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention has the effect of improving the efficiency of editing work by making it possible to visually and easily display which part of the display area the window is currently displaying. .
