Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a terminal screen display in an information system, and more particularly to a business selection menu and a management device for controlling the business screen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a business selection menu screen is displayed on a terminal, a screen layout image to be displayed is edited by a host computer and transmitted to the terminal for display. Also, when the user selects (inputs) the item number corresponding to the required work from the displayed menu, the input information is sent to the host computer, and the input information, that is, the selected item number, is displayed on the host computer. Based on this, the user checks whether the business screen or menu screen indicated by the input information can be used, and if it is available, the screen layout image to be displayed is edited by the host computer and transmitted to the terminal for display. Further, in the case of a hierarchical structure in which the menu is selected, the above series of procedures are repeated.

Further, since the conventional screen management device has the screen display information fixed as an object, when changing the display content or configuration of the screen, the display portion of the screen to be changed must be changed each time. It was good. That is, since the screen display unit for displaying each screen sends the screen image to the display terminal, changing the screen image was to change the function of the screen display unit.

[0004]

As described above, the conventional method of displaying a screen has a function of displaying a screen for each screen. Naturally, if the number of screens increases, only that many functions are required. In a large-scale system with a large number of screens, the functional load of the screen display unit alone was a considerable functional load.

In addition, since the contents and configuration of the screen layout of the menu part are affected by the business system, the business system is not easily decided or the business organization is frequently changed. The layout of the screen was also slow to be confirmed during the system development process, and it was necessary to change it after the system started operation. This causes a change that delays the confirmation of the function of the display unit, and such a state impairs the stability of the system and causes an increase in man-hours.

[0006]

A screen management apparatus of the present invention displays a menu heading for displaying a menu screen, a menu selection item number, a treatment name corresponding to the selection item number, and a business screen. The screen display information storage unit that centrally manages the screen display information including the business program name to be displayed, and the information to be displayed on the screen of the terminal is searched from the screen display information storage unit based on the information input from the terminal. And a screen display unit for editing and displaying.

Further, the screen management device of the present invention registers the screen display information in the screen display information storage unit, and corrects and deletes the screen display information registered in the screen display information storage unit. It is equipped with.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a screen management apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, the screen display unit 14
Has menu screen layout information (described later), searches the screen display information storage unit 13 for necessary information based on the input information received from the display terminal 15, and if the search information is a menu screen, The information is edited on the menu screen layout, and when the search information is the business screen, the control is transferred to the business program.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a menu screen layout. Normally, the menu screen has a menu image for each menu, but the image is not confirmed unless the business system is confirmed. Therefore, a layout image that can be confirmed even if the business system is not confirmed and that is less likely to change after the confirmation is confirmed in advance, and the layout is created in the screen display unit 14.

In FIG. 2, a screen ID 31, a title display area 32, a date / time display time area 33, a selection item number 35,
The selection menu name or work screen name 36 and the error message display area 37 are created by editing the information from the screen display information storage section 13 by the function of the screen display section 14. However, the date / time display area 33 and the error message display area are not the information from the screen display information storage unit 13. The item number input area 34 is an area for inputting a selected item number which is a basis for searching the screen display information storage unit 13.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a storage image of the screen display information stored in the screen display information storage unit 13. The figure shows a storage image for one screen.

First, the screen ID uniquely corresponds to the menu screen and the business screen, and is the same as the item displayed in the screen ID 31 (see FIG. 2). Based on this, you can search to edit the menu screen or call a business program.

The following confidential classification is information for checking the usage right and the like whether or not the screen the user intends to use can be used by collating it with the information that the terminal user inputs when logging in to the system. Is. Further, the menu classification is information for determining whether the stored information is a menu screen or a business screen.

As for the business program name, when the user designates the business screen from the menu, the business program is started based on the business program name stored in this item. When the business program name is stored, the subsequent items are blank.

As the title name, a menu name corresponding to the title display area 32 is stored. Below, the item number and process name are
With reference to FIG. 2, information corresponding to the number of selection item numbers 35 and selection menu names or business screen names 36 displayed in the menu is repeatedly stored. Further, the screen ID in which the screen information displayed when the item number is selected is stored in a one-to-one correspondence with each item number is stored in the next screen ID.
