Abstract

PURPOSE:To evade a case where a user is required to input plural fixed commands to set an environment or to start a tool when the user uses various tools working on a UNIX. CONSTITUTION:When a log-in name is inputted by a user, a log-in/out control part 22 selects a window system and starts a work item selecting part 23. The part 23 shows the hierarchical, work items on a display to select these items. A tool starting part 24 sets an environment of the selected work item based on the processing procedure set previously and starts a tool. The part 23 also displays a menu for selection of the end when the work is complete with the tool. Then the part 22 carries out the log-out processing and completes it.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tool starting method when starting a tool in a computer system, and more particularly to a starting method of various tools operating on UNIX.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of tool starting method, a user manually inputs a plurality of commands such as environment setting and tool starting.

[0003]

In the above-described tool starting method, a user must always input a command for the work to be executed, regardless of the fixed command. There is a hassle. In addition, even a fixed command has a disadvantage that it is manually entered by mistake. Furthermore, O
It is necessary to be aware of the commands and environment corresponding to S, knowledge that is not directly related to the work on the tool is required, and the OS
There is a problem that you must acquire the knowledge of.

[0004]

According to the tool starting method of the present invention, in a computer system having a plurality of user work tools, a window for selecting a plurality of work items set in advance when the user logs in. Select
End of work Login / logout control means for performing logout processing in particular, and work selection items preset by instructions from this login / logout control means are hierarchically displayed in the window, and work is performed in a parameter format for the user. Work item selecting means for selecting an item, and environment setting corresponding to the work item input by this work item selecting means is executed according to a preset processing procedure for each work item, and a corresponding tool is started And means.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an input device including a keyboard 11, a mouse 12, and a display 13, a storage device 21 in which files of various tools are stored, a login / logout control unit 22, a work item selecting unit 23, a tool starting unit. Two
It is composed of a processing device consisting of four.

With the above arrangement, the input device is the mouse 12
A window is displayed on the display 13 from the login / logout control unit 22 by input from. When the window is displayed, the user inputs the login name, which is the user name, using the keyboard 11. This login name is
When passed to the logout control unit 22, the login / logout control unit 22 selects a window system prepared in advance for the user and activates the work item setting unit 23. The work item setting unit 23 displays each work item in the window and prompts the user to select a work, as shown in an example of the work item selection window in FIG. Then, when the user selects, for example, "[4] OA" and inputs "4" from the keyboard 11, the work item selection unit 23 displays a window as shown in FIG. 3 showing an example of a submenu for work item selection. The contents are switched to the lower hierarchy. When the user selects “[1] Create document” on the window and inputs “1” from the keyboard 11, the work item selection unit 23 activates the tool activation unit 24. The tool activation unit 24 executes the environment settings related to the OS such as file preparation corresponding to the work according to the work content that is set in advance, and starts the tool.

When the user finishes the work on the tool,
The tool activation unit 24 activates the work item selection unit 23 again. The work item selection unit 23 again displays the work item selection submenu shown in FIG. Here, the user

When [0] end "is selected and" 0 "is input, the work item selection unit 23 switches the display to the work item selection window on the upper layer shown in FIG. Then, when the user inputs "0" again, the process is returned to the login / logout control unit 22, the window is closed, the logout process is executed, and the process ends.

[0009]

As described above, the present invention presents a hierarchically prepared menu, and the user can start the work on the tool only by selecting the displayed item and inputting the parameter. Since it is not necessary to input fixed environment setting commands or commands that existed in the OS for each work, it is not necessary to acquire knowledge of the OS, and command input errors are greatly reduced. There is an effect that is done.
