Abstract

PURPOSE:To regenerate the screen display information stored in a storage part by displaying the choice corresponding to the stored information after adding then to the screen selection menus forming a hierarchical screen and then selecting the choices from each screen selection menu. CONSTITUTION:A screen defining file ID of a screen 7 is stored in a storage part while an operator is working on a screen 9 as the called menu screen information which shows a specific screen selection menu where the file ID, the data displayed in each input field of the screen 9, the choice name of the screen 9 in a screen selection menu, and the screen 9 itself are called out. Then a screen 4 is displayed for execution of the work with sequential selection of the screen selection menus. Then a screen 2 is reset for display of the screen 4. The choice of the screen to be regenerated on the screen 2 is selected and then the screen shown at interruption of the work is regenerated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention provides a hierarchical screen configuration in which an operator who is operating a certain screen interrupts the work, performs work on any screen, and then returns to the original screen again. Regarding the screen selection method when resuming work.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional screen selection methods, when interrupting work on a certain screen and starting work on an arbitrary screen, the desired screen is displayed by sequentially selecting screens from a screen selection menu with a hierarchical screen structure. Similarly, when you finish working on any screen,
When resuming work on the original screen, the original screen was displayed again by making sequential selections from the screen selection menu.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the screen selection method described above, when you interrupt work on a certain screen, work on an arbitrary screen, and then resume work on the original screen, you can select from any screen sequentially selected using the hierarchical screen selection menu. Since the direct light screen cannot be displayed and it is necessary to sequentially operate the hierarchical screen selection menu again to display the screen, the operation by the operator is troublesome. Furthermore, since the redisplayed screen does not display the data that had been entered and displayed before the work was interrupted, there is a drawback that it is impossible to confirm how far the operator has worked.

[Means for solving problems]

The screen selection method of the present invention stores arbitrary screen display information in a hierarchical screen configuration in a storage unit, and adds selection options corresponding to the storage information stored in the storage unit to each screen selection menu in the hierarchical screen configuration. The screen display information stored in the storage unit is reproduced by displaying and selecting a selection from each screen selection menu.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a processing flow diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention6
A case in which the present invention is implemented under the hierarchical screen configuration shown in FIG. 2 will be described below.

FIG. 2 shows the hierarchical screen configuration. In this embodiment, with the exception that you can transition to screen 1 from each screen,
By memorizing the downward transition from screen 1 to screen 3, screen 3 to screen 7, screen 7 to screen 9, and which screen selection menu the child screen is selected from, screen 9 to screen 7, Screen 7 to screen 3, screen 3 to screen 1
Only transitions from the immediate parent screen to the child screen and from the child screen to the parent screen are allowed, such as the transition upward in the hierarchy. Further, in this embodiment, a process is described in which an operator who is working on screen 9 interrupts the work, performs the work on screen 4, and resumes the work on screen 9 again.

First, while the operator is working on screen 9 (step 10)
When you press the screen memory key (step 11), the screen definition file ID of screen 9, the data displayed in each input field of screen 9, the selection branch name of screen 9 in the screen selection menu, and which screen screen 9 is As the call menu screen information indicating whether it was called from the selection menu,
Store the screen definition file ID of screen 7 in the storage unit (step 12) Next, by sequentially selecting the screen selection menu, display screen 4 and perform the work (step 1)
3). Subsequently, the process returns to screen 2 for displaying screen 4 (step 14). Then, when data is stored in the storage unit, when each screen selection menu of screen 01 screen 12 screen 22 screen 3 and screen 7 is selected, the screen definition file ID stored in the storage unit is displayed in the selection branch. Displays the branch name for selection. When you select the option of the screen you want to reproduce on screen 2 (step 1
5) The screen definition file ID and data of screen 9 are called from the storage unit, and sent along with the screen definition file that reproduces the screen state when the work was interrupted and at the same time also reproduces the screen ID of the called menu screen information ( Step 16). As a result, when the previous display screen display key is pressed on the reproduced screen 9, screen 7, which is the immediate parent screen, is displayed instead of screen 2. Further, when the screen definition file ID, data, and call menu screen information are reproduced on the screen, they are deleted from the storage unit along with the selection branch name (step 17).

On the other hand, when a normal screen is selected in step 15, the corresponding screen definition file is called from the storage section (step 18), and the operator performs the work (step 19).
. Then, the process returns to step 14.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between information stored in the storage unit 20 and processing. The screen definition file ID 21 of the screen displayed when the 0 screen storage key is pressed, and the display data displayed in the input field. 22 and the screen ID2 of the parent screen of the screen to be reproduced as the call menu screen information
3. Furthermore, the selection branch name 24 of the screen to be reproduced is stored in the storage section. In each screen selection menu, the blank reproduction selection field is displayed in the form of the selection name 24 stored in the storage unit 20 with the word (reproduction) added. When a reproduction option is selected in each screen selection menu, the screen definition file and display data 22 corresponding to the screen definition file ID 21 stored in the storage unit 2° are called and displayed. Also, the main screen screen I
D23 is also sent together with the reproduction screen definition file, and these data are deleted from the storage unit 20 along with the selection branch name.

FIG. 4 is an example of a screen selection menu for reproducing screen 9 in the interrupted state. When the reproduction screen definition file, display data, and call menu screen information are stored in the storage unit 20 in this way, reproduction options are additionally displayed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In the screen selection method according to the present invention, when work is interrupted on a certain screen, work is performed on an arbitrary screen, and work is resumed on the original screen, the original screen in the interrupted state is It becomes possible to reproduce directly from any screen selection menu.
