Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of a conversational processing system by displaying in a menu only the necessary commands for each directory to which a processing subject file belongs and furthermore displaying adaptively the commands in the order of higher using frequencies and in accordance with the progressing situation of a due task. CONSTITUTION:A menu control part 1 is provided together with a tree structure file system 2, a file control system 3, a command defining part 4, a command list reading part 5, a task directory changing part 6, a user terminal 7, and a command executing part 8. In the system 2 the files having the characteristics similar to each other are stored in the same directory. As a result, the types of commands are limited for the tasks carried out in the corresponding directory. Thus a command menu including a group of commands of a small number of types can be displayed. In addition, the commands are displayed at the easy- to-select positions in the order of higher starting frequencies in accordance with the progressing situation of a task. As a result, the operability is improved in a conversational processing system.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a command menu control method in an interactive processing system.

[Conventional technology]

In conversational processing systems that perform real-time processing, operability is improved by selecting a command menu displayed on a user terminal. Conventionally, this type of command menu display is fixed to the system, and the command menu control method is such that the same set of commands are always displayed in the same order.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the conventional command menu control method described above, the command menu is configured according to the average value or typical file processing, so frequently used commands for specific file processing are displayed as secondary menus. This had the disadvantage that commands were displayed in positions that were difficult to operate, and commands that were not used were displayed at the top of the list, resulting in poor operability.

In order to solve these conventional problems, the present invention displays only the necessary commands in the command menu for each directory to which the processing target file belongs, and also operates the commands in descending order of frequency of use according to the progress of the work. It is an object of the present invention to provide a command menu control method that can adaptively display command menus in convenient positions.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an interactive processing system that instructs processing contents of a tree-structured file system using a command menu displayed on a user terminal. A command list that stores the number of times the command has been activated, a menu control unit that counts the number of times the command has been activated and updates the number of times the command list has been activated, and a command menu that corresponds to the directory structure of the tree-structured file system. A command definition section that stores a set of commands to be displayed; and a command list reading section that reads a set of commands corresponding to a new working directory from the command definition section and stores it in the command list when the working directory is changed. It is something.

[Effect]

Since the present invention is configured in this way, a set of commands corresponding to each working directory can be obtained from the command definition section and displayed on the command menu.
The display position on the command menu can be changed based on the number of activations in the command list counted by the menu control unit.

[Example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the system of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a menu control unit that counts the number of activated commands and updates the number of activations in a command list 11, and the command list 11 stores a command name 11a corresponding to the current working directory and its activation number 11b. It is for the purpose of 2 is a tree-structured file system in which files are managed by directories having a tree structure; 3 is a tree-structured file system 2
4 is a command definition section that stores a set of commands used to process files under the directory corresponding to the directory structure of the tree-structured file system 2; 5 is a command definition section that uses the working directory as a key; A command list reading section 6 reads a set of corresponding commands from the command definition section 4 and stores them in a command list 11;
and a work directory change unit that instructs the command list reading unit 5 to specify a new work directory. 7 is a user terminal that displays a command menu, selects a menu, changes the working directory, outputs processing results, etc.; 8 is a command execution unit that executes commands specified from the user terminal 7 via the menu control unit 1; be.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a command storage structure in the command definition section 4. As shown in FIG. Directory 41.42.
43 are the same directories in the tree-structured file system 2, respectively. Files 41a, 41b
, 41C1 and the files 42a, 42b, and 42c are also shown to have the same tree structure as the tree structure file system 2, and the actual files are stored in the tree structure file system 2. COMLIS
T41d and 42d are the above-mentioned files 41a141b, 41c, which belong to the directory 41.42, respectively.
and a set of commands required when processing 42a, 42b, and 42c. For example, directory 41
Letting the directory salt of /s r c be COML
15T41a stores command names of editors, compilers, source comparators, etc. necessary for processing the source files 41a, 41b, and 41'c under the directory /src. Similarly, directory 42
If the directory salt of is /o b j, then COML
The I5T42a has object files 42a, 42b, and 42c under the directory /obj.
Stores the command names of link commands, object file editors, etc. required for processing.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the menu control unit 1, a command menu screen is created in order from the command name with the largest number of activations 11b in the command list 11 (step 91), and is displayed on the user terminal 7 and waits for command selection input (step 91). Step 92). If the command selected by the user is a command other than the command to change the working directory (step 93), the menu control unit 1
adds 1 to the activation count of the activated command name, rewrites the activation count 11b of the command list 11, and executes this command in the command execution unit 8 (step 94).
. If the command selected by the user is a command for changing the working directory (step 93), the working directory changing unit 6 is activated and requests the file management system 3 to change the working directory (step 95).

Next, the working directory changing section 6 also requests the command list reading section 5 to change the working directory, and the command list reading section 5 changes the COMLIS under the working directory stored in the command definition section 4.
T is read, the command name is stored in the command list 11, and the activation count 11b is all cleared (step 96), and the process returns to step 91.

Quoting the previous directory example again, if the working directory is in /src then COMLST4
1 Command names of editors, compilers, source comparators, etc. are read from a and displayed on the command menu screen of the user terminal.

Furthermore, when the working directory is moved to /obj, command names such as link commands and object file editors are read from the COMLIST 42a and displayed on the command menu screen of the user terminal.

Therefore, according to the configuration of the embodiment described above, only the commands necessary for processing files under the working directory are displayed in the command menu, and moreover, the commands are updated so that they are always displayed in the order of activation frequency. be done.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, as is clear from the above embodiment, if a tree-structured file system is configured so that files with similar properties are stored in the same directory, the types of commands used when working within that directory Since the number of commands is limited, it is possible to display a command menu consisting of a small set of commands, and to quickly select a command. Furthermore, since the commands can be presented at positions that are easy to select in descending order of the number of activations at that time according to the progress of the work, the operability of the interactive processing system is improved.
