Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable various judgments without confirming contents in respect to a result file which is outputted with, the execution of a work program at a computer and displayed at a display device as a list. CONSTITUTION:A monitor program part 30 to investigate the state of a result file 20 outputted from a work program part 10 and a file list display program part 40 to display the list of pictorial characters corresponding to the result file 20 on a display device 50 are prepared on the computer. The file list display program part 40 obtains information concerning the result file 20 from the monitor program part 30 and applies any visual effect corresponding to the state to the pictorial characters. For example, when a wrong result is outputted to the file, the pictorial characters corresponding to the result file 20 are turned on/off.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file list display system used in a computer.

0002

[Prior Art] When a business program is executed on a computer, the result file is output as a file on the computer.The file name is displayed as a list using a computer command, or the file is expressed as a pictogram on a display device. This can be confirmed by displaying the list. A conventional system for displaying this list is shown in FIG. Result file 2 is generated when the business program is executed in business program section 1.
is output. As a result, a file list display program section 4 is provided on the computer in order to display a list of the existence of files 2 on the display device 5.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, as shown in FIGS. 5(A) and 5(B), files on a computer are created by a person operating a program (A), as well as input files. In the latter case, an output file may be created even if the file conversion fails. In such cases, in conventional file list display systems, the contents of result file 2 are displayed regardless of whether they are normal or abnormal, so whether the file conversion was successful or not can be determined by computer commands. I couldn't find out unless I opened the file and checked its contents.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a file list display system that eliminates such inconveniences and allows various judgments to be made regarding the contents of files without checking the contents.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A file list display system according to the present invention includes a business program section that executes an arbitrary business program and outputs a result file, and a state of the result file output from the business program section. a monitoring program section to examine, and a file list display program that obtains information about result files from the business program section and/or the monitoring program section, and displays pictographs corresponding to the result files on a display device with visual effects that match the status of the pictographs; It is equipped with a section.

[0006]

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a file list display system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A business program unit 10 on the computer executes an arbitrary business program and outputs a result file 20. The monitoring program unit 30 checks the status of the result file 20 that is output as the business program is executed,
The file list display program section 40 displays the result file 20
Prepare information to display the status of. The methods include opening and reading the result file 20 (■), using messages regarding the execution status received from the business program unit 10 (■), and using attributes set in the result file 20 by the business program unit 10 depending on the execution status. (■) etc. Note that if the file list display program section 40 requires the attributes of the result file 20, the monitoring program section 30 sets the attributes for the result file 20 (■
).

Based on the information prepared by the monitoring program section 30, the file list display program section 40 causes the display device 50 to display a list of result files 20 using pictograms. Display file list on device 5
FIG. 2(A) shows how 0 is displayed by name, and FIG. 2(B) shows how it is displayed by pictograms. Figure 2 (
A) and (B) are the same result files 20 displayed on the display device 50. The following methods are available for displaying the list of result files 20 on the display device 50.

[0009] The monitoring program section 30 generates the result file 20.
If the method to check the status of is ■■, monitor program section 3
A message regarding the status of the result file 20 is received from 0, and a list of file names is displayed with a visual effect that matches the status (■). In the case of ■■, a list of file names is displayed with a visual effect that matches the state of the result file 20 based on the attributes set in the result file 20 (■). Alternatively, upon receiving a message regarding the status of the result file 20 from the business program unit 10, a list of file names is displayed with a visual effect that matches the status (■).

Here, the status of the result file 20 means, for example, that a correct result has been output to the file, that an incorrect result has been output to the file, or that the result is being output to the file. Then, depending on these conditions, the design, size, and expression color of the file 20 resulting in a pictogram are changed, or the pictogram is made to blink. This is,
This is a visual effect that matches the state of the result file 20. For example, if an incorrect result is output to a file, the pictogram corresponding to the result file 20 will blink. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether the contents of the result file 20 are correct or incorrect without opening the result file 20 with a computer command and checking its contents.

In the above embodiment, the monitoring program section 30 and the file list display program section 40 are independent, but as shown in FIG. 3, the file list display program section 40 also serves as the monitoring program section 30. Apparently,
Sometimes the two are combined.

0012

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the case of the program list display system according to the present invention, when displaying a list of result files output as pictograms on a display device when a business program is executed, Visual effects are added to the pictograms, allowing you to instantly make decisions about the result file without having to open it.
