A dialogue fixed value button position storage means 14 stores the display position information of the fixed value button of that dialogue. A mouse cursor position setting means 15 sets the display position of the mouse cursor. A mouse cursor output means 16 outputs the mouse cursor onto that set display position. A dialogue fixed value button fixture receiving means 17 receives the fixing instruction of the fixed value button of that dialogue from a mouse device 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dialog output device, and more particularly to a dialog output device for controlling the display position of a mouse cursor during a dialog output operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Even if a conventional dialog output device outputs a dialog, the display position of the mouse cursor displayed on the display device before the dialog is output remains unchanged, and the user performs the next operation. It is necessary to move the mouse cursor and position it at the display position of the default button when executing the instruction to confirm the default button to the dialog.

An example of such a conventional dialog output device is Japanese Patent Application No. 1-214974 "Medical Image Processing Device".

[0004]

The conventional dialog output device described above is displayed on the display device before the dialog is output when the user issues a command to confirm the default button for the dialog after the dialog is output. The user must move the display position of the mouse cursor to the display position of the default button,
It has the drawback of being time-consuming.

The object of the present invention is to automatically move the mouse cursor to the display position of the default value button of the dialog to be output, regardless of the display position of the mouse cursor displayed on the display device before the output of the dialog. By doing so, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dialog output device which makes it unnecessary for the user to move the mouse cursor and position the mouse at the display position of the default button when executing the instruction to confirm the default button.

[0006]

The dialog output device of the first invention comprises (A) dialog output receiving means for receiving a dialog output request from a window system;
(B) When the dialog output receiving means receives the dialog output request from the window system,
Output operation control means for controlling output operation in the dialog output device; (C) dialog output means for outputting a dialog to a display device when activated by the output operation control means; and (D) the dialog output means. According to the dialog default value button position storage means for storing the display position information of the default button for the dialog output by (E), according to the display position information of the default button of the dialog stored by the dialog default button position storage means, Mouse cursor position setting means for setting the display position of the mouse cursor when outputting the mouse cursor to the display device; and (F) being activated from the output operation control means after the dialog output operation by the dialog output means. The dialog that output the dialog Mouse cursor output means for outputting the mouse cursor to the display position set by the mouse cursor position setting means of the ray device, and (G) the mouse cursor output means starts the output operation control means after the mouse cursor output operation. Accordingly, a dialog default value button confirmation accepting means for accepting from the mouse device an instruction to confirm the default button of the dialog output to the display device by the dialog output means.

The dialog output device according to the second aspect of the present invention includes (A) a dialog output receiving means for receiving a dialog output request from the window system, and (B) a dialog output request from the window system by the dialog output receiving means. When accepting, the output operation control means for controlling the output operation in the dialog output device,
(C) Dialog output means for outputting a dialog to a display device when activated by the output operation control means, and (D) a dialog for storing display position information of default value buttons for the dialog output by the dialog output means. Default button position storage means,
(E) The display position of the mouse cursor when outputting the mouse cursor to the display device is set according to the display position information of the default button of the dialog stored by the dialog default button position storage means, and the mouse is set at that position. And a mouse cursor position setting means for outputting a cursor.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a dialog output device of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the dialog output device 1 of this embodiment is connected to the window system 2 and the display device 3 and the mouse device 4.

First, the dialog output receiving means 11 receives a dialog output request given from the window system 2.

Then, the output operation control means 12 controls the output operation in the dialog output device 1 when the dialog output reception means 11 receives the dialog output request from the window system 2.

Therefore, the dialog output means 13 is activated by the output operation control means 12 to output a dialog to the display device 3.

Further, the dialog default value button position storage means 14 receives the display position information of the default value button for the dialog output from the dialog output means 13 and stores it therein.

On the other hand, the mouse cursor position setting means 15
Sets the display position of the mouse cursor when outputting the mouse cursor to the display device 3 according to the display position information of the default button of the dialog stored by the dialog default button position storage means 14.

Therefore, the mouse cursor output means 16 is
The dialog output means 13 is activated by the output operation control means 12 after the dialog output operation to output the mouse cursor to the display position set by the mouse cursor position setting means 15 on the display device 3 which has output the dialog. ing.

The dialog default value button confirmation accepting means 17 is activated by the output operation control means 12 after the mouse cursor output means 16 outputs the mouse cursor, so that the dialog output means 13 causes the display device 3 to operate. The confirmation instruction of the default button of the dialog output above is received from the mouse device 4.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the display position of the mouse cursor by the dialog output device of this embodiment.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the window system 2 is displayed on the display device 3, a dialog 21 for which an output request is issued from the window system 2 is displayed, and further, in the dialog 21. The default button 22 is displayed.

When the mouse cursor is displayed at the display position 23 on the display device 3 before the dialog 21 is output, the window system 2 makes an output request for the dialog 21, and the dialog 21 is displayed on the display device 3. When displayed, the display position 23 where the mouse cursor was displayed is changed to the display position 2 of the default value button 22.
Moved to 4 automatically.

[0018]

As described above, the dialog output device according to the present invention can display the default button of the dialog regardless of the display position of the mouse cursor displayed on the display device before the dialog output. The effect of automatically moving the mouse cursor to the display position is that it is unnecessary for the user to move the mouse cursor to the display position of the default button when executing the instruction to confirm the default button. Have
