DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a data display device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 2 to 8 are diagrams showing embodiments of a data display device according to the present invention. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the data display device includes a key input section 11 and a mouse input section 12 as input sections, a display section 13 for displaying data, and an item switching and display item storage means. and a management section 15 that changes the attributes of the field data section 14. Here, in this embodiment, one screen has 30
Data is to be displayed in the three display locations above, and as shown in FIG. character), data B in field B32 (starting point coordinates (2, 4) data length 8 characters) and data C in field C33 (starting point coordinates (
5, 7) data length is 8 characters).

As shown in FIG. 4, the field data section 14 stores the start coordinate position, display attributes, font color, background color, next field, field length, and character data for each field. There is. Here, the display attribute specifies the display as normal, inverted, highlighted, blinking, etc., and the next field indicates the field to which the cursor should move when input to the field is completed.

In this embodiment, when rewriting the field data section 14, character data is managed directly from the key input section 11, and other data is managed by commands from the key input section 11 or the mouse input section 12. Part 1
5, and the display request based on each is also made using the key input section 11 for character display.
The attributes are sent from the management section 15 to the display section 13, and the display section 13 accesses the field data section 14 based on this request to read the data.

Next, the operation of the data display device according to this embodiment will be explained. In this embodiment, each operation of emphasis inversion, field switching, and cursor movement will be explained.

First, a case will be described in which a specific portion is temporarily highlighted or highlighted to call attention to it. In this case, a change request to change the display attribute of the field to highlighted or inverted is input from the key input unit 11 or the mouse input unit 12 to the management unit 15 (FIG. 5 - ). Then, the management unit 15 outputs an attribute change command to the field data unit 14 (same

Then, the display unit 13 accesses the field data unit 14, reads the first coordinates of the next field from the item of the next field of the field data of the current field, and moves the cursor 34 to the next field (for example, field Move from A to the starting position of field B) (same as ■). At this time, the cursor can be moved to the next field with a single input operation without having to move the cursor position one by one, thereby speeding up the input processing.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, since data is stored as having a relationship between each field, for example, by displaying a title in field A and hitting this title with a mouse device, as described above, You can move the cursor to the next field and perform the next operation. In this case, when a mouse input (hit) is input to the mouse input section 12 (Fig. 8 ■), a change request for item switching is input from the mouse input section to the management section 15 (
Same ■). Then, the management section 15 outputs a request to display the next field to the display section 13 (same as ■). Then, the display section 13 accesses the field data section 14 and reads the first coordinate of the next field from the item of the next field of the field data of the current field.
As shown in FIG. 7, the cursor is moved to the start position of the next field (for example, from field A to field B) (■). At this time, the cursor can be moved to the next field with a single input operation without having to move the cursor position one by one, thereby speeding up the input processing.
