Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a user to master a package software in a short time by limiting usable commands according to experience level based upon experience level specification and guiding an order of executed commands by using a progress managing means for a computer device so that the software can be used according to experience level about functions and operations. CONSTITUTION:A user selects and specifies, according to its experience level, for example, a password corresponding to the experience level. Upon this specification by the user, a progress managing means 6 selects usable commands corresponding to this experience level, and guides an order by which these commands are executed. Thus, while actually using a software 4 within a range corresponding to an experience level, its functions and operations can be mastered step by step in a short time. As for a beginner with little experience, since the commands to be executed are automatically executed in a proper sequence, he can carry out a job by using the software 4 right away, without reading a manual, etc. This is an example of benefits obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a package software processing method for executing package software by a computer device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when executing package software for various purposes such as production management and business management by a computer device such as an office, it is necessary to use different commands depending on the processing content (function). Therefore, conventionally, it is necessary to read the attached manual or the like in advance or participate in a seminar or the like to fully learn the functions and operations of the software.

[0003]

When the software is used after the functions and operations are sufficiently learned in advance as in the prior art, a great deal of labor and time are required before actually using the software. In the case of multi-function software that has a large number of commands and a complicated processing flow (process), it is extremely difficult to fully learn all the functions and operations in advance, and it is extremely difficult to actually use it. There is a problem that it takes a long time.

An object of the present invention is to enable the user to use the software according to the proficiency level of the function and the operation and to be able to use the software in a short period of time.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the package software processing method of the present invention, when the package software is executed by the computer device, the progress management means of the device specifies the proficiency level. The commands that can be used based on the above are restricted to less specified ones with lesser proficiency, and the command execution order is guided.

[0006]

In the package software processing method of the present invention configured as described above, the number of commands that can be handled is limited to a small number at the beginning of learning (beginner stage), based on the designation of the proficiency level. The more commands that can be handled and the more commands that can be handled, the more commands that can be used. Moreover, the execution order of the commands is guided. Therefore, while actually using the software, they will be able to efficiently learn the functions and operations in a short period of time and master the software.

[0007]

EXAMPLE One example will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a computer device as an information system for executing package software, 1 is an input unit such as a keyboard, 2 is an output unit such as a CRT, 3 is a proficiency level holding unit, 4 is package software to be executed, and 5 is Function selection means 6 is a progress management means.

Reference numeral 7 is a conventional command group storage means for holding all the commands of the software 4, 8 is a function-based command group storage means for classifying and holding each command according to the function of the software 4, and 9 is a use for each skill level. It is a command execution order storage means for each skill level, which holds possible command groups and execution orders. Then, the computer device of FIG. 1 is constructed by adding holding means 3, selection means 5, management means 6 and storage means 8 and 9 to the conventional system.

The function selecting means 5, the progress managing means 6 and the executing means of the software 4 are formed by a CPU,
Each storage means 7, 8, 9 is formed by a memory. Further, in the command group for each skill level stored in the storage unit 9, the shallower the skill level is, the less usable commands are limited.

When the software 4 is executed, the process proceeds according to the flow chart of FIG. 2. At first, the user is prompted to select a function in step S1, and the desired function is selected by operating the input unit 1. The function selecting means 5 reads the command group of the selected function from the storage means 8. Further, the process proceeds to step S2, and the designation of the skill level is prompted,
At this time, the user selects and specifies a password corresponding to the proficiency level of the function, for example.

Then, the designated proficiency level is stored and held in the holding means 3. Furthermore, the progress management unit 6 recognizes a command group of the designated proficiency level in the storage unit 9 as a usable command, and selects the command to be executed first of them, and notifies the function selection unit 5.

At this time, when the beginner level is selected as the proficiency level, only the most basic command for the selected function becomes a usable command. Further, based on the notification of the command, the function selecting means 5 displays an input screen of data on the command on the output section 2 and prompts the user to input data.

Then, the process proceeds to step S3, and the user operates the operation unit 1 while watching the screen of the output unit 2 to input the data. Upon completion of this input, the process proceeds to step S4, and it is determined whether or not the data input order, items, etc. are appropriate, that is, whether or not the input conditions are met.

If this determination is affirmative (YES), the process proceeds to step S5, and the first command selected in step S1 by the software 4 is read from the storage unit 7 and executed, and the input data is stored. It is processed. When this process ends, the process proceeds to step S6, and the progress management unit 6 selects the command to be executed next.

At this time, although only one command is selected at the beginner stage, as the proficiency level deepens, a plurality of commands are selected, and the user selects any one of these commands. To do. Therefore, the selected command is displayed on the output unit 2, and the user gives the next command while watching the display in step S6.

Then, the next command instructed is notified to the function selecting means 5, and in step S7 a processing screen such as data input for the command is displayed on the output unit 2. Further, returning from step S7 to step S3,
The process from step S3 is repeated and the process gradually progresses.

When a data input error or the like occurs and the determination in step S4 is negative (NO), the process proceeds to step S8, and the progress management means 6 determines to what extent the data input process should be redone. The command necessary for redoing is displayed on the output unit 2 based on the determination.

If the user has a high level of proficiency, a plurality of commands are displayed. When the user selects and gives an instruction,
This command is notified to the function selecting means 5 by the progress managing means 6. Further, the process proceeds to step S9, and a processing screen such as data input for the notified command is displayed on the output unit 2.

Then, the process returns to step S3 and is redone. Then, based on the proficiency level of the function designated by the user, the progress management unit 6 selects a usable command according to the proficiency level and guides the execution order of these commands.
You can gradually learn the functions and operations in a short period of time while actually using the software according to your skill level. In addition, especially for a beginner with a low level of proficiency, the commands to be executed are automatically executed in order, so that there is an advantage that the work can be immediately performed using the software 4 without reading a manual or the like.

[0020]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. By the progress management means 6 of the computer device, the commands that can be used based on the designation of the proficiency level are restricted and reduced as the proficiency level is specified, and the package software 4 is executed by guiding the command execution sequence. While actually using 4, the function and operability can be gradually learned, and the software 4 can be mastered in a short period of time. Moreover, since the execution order of the commands is guided, even a beginner can immediately use the software 4 to perform a task or the like.
