Abstract

PURPOSE:To display level information added to a message in an arbitrary method for display. CONSTITUTION:For multiple work stations to be connected to a data processor, a display part 13 intensively displaying the content of a message to be displayed by an operating system of application 1, a level discriminating device 11 discriminating the level of the of the importance of a message to be added to the message, a display part 12 by levels capable of changing the display method to the display part corresponding to the level, and a display change mechanism 15 permitting an input device to change the combination of level and the display method are provided.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data processing device, and more particularly to a console device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional console device displays the same display as that displayed on each workstation on the console device.

[0003]

In this conventional console device, the display method on the display device is in accordance with the display method specified by the OS or application, so the management department changes the display method according to the skill of the end user. I was supposed to do it. For this reason, there is an inconvenience that the degree of centralized management cannot be changed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to improve the inconvenience of the conventional example and, in particular, to enable the level information added to the mecca to be displayed by an arbitrary display method.

[0005]

According to the present invention, for a plurality of workstations connected to a data processing device,
A display unit for centrally displaying the contents of a message displayed by an OS or an application, a level determination mechanism for determining the level of importance of a message added to a message, and a display method on the display unit corresponding to the level are provided. The configuration is such that a display unit for each level that can be changed and a display change mechanism that can change the combination of the level and the display method from the input device are provided. This aims to achieve the above-mentioned object.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the application 1 sends a message for processing via the operating system 2 to the application 1
Is displayed on the workstation 3 for notifying the user who has instructed to execute. Also, operating system 2
Also conveys the content of the message to the message receiving mechanism 10 of the console device 4. The message receiving mechanism 10
The message 20 and the level information 21 added to the message are passed to the level determination mechanism 11. The level determination mechanism 11 determines the level information 21, passes a display instruction corresponding to the level to the level-specific display mechanism 12, and displays the message 20 and the level information 21 on the display device 13. At this time, if the instruction corresponding to the level information 21 and the display method has been changed from the keyboard 14 of the console device 4 in advance, the display method of the display changing device 15 is changed and then passed to the level-specific display mechanism 12.

FIG. 2 shows the format of the message.
It consists of 0 and level information 21. 3 is an example showing the relationship between the level information 21 and the display method. this is,
It shows an example of changing the relationship of default values according to the skill of the user.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the display method corresponding to the level information added to the message can be changed to any display method on the console side, centralized management according to the skill of the user who uses the system without modifying the operating system and applications It is possible to provide an excellent console device that has never been used.
