Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operability at the time of input by storing respective input states executed by an operator to the respective input fields of a screen and automatically reproducing the input state corresponding to the input field of the same screen later. SOLUTION: A screen display part 10 displays screen and sends a screen recognition code for recognizing the screen to a retrieval part 22 of a control part 20. The retrieval part 22 retrieves whether the screen is already stored or not from a state storage part 30. When that screen is inputted once, input state information is written into a screen storage part 23 of the control part 20. An input state monitoring part 21 reads the relevant state of input field 1 out of the screen storage part 23 and automatically sets the input state stored the last time. When no screen can be retrieved from the state storage part 30, the retrieval part 22 stores the screen recognition code in the screen storage part 23.

The screen display unit 10 displays the data received from the host computer on the screen and notifies the search unit 22 of the control unit 20 of the screen recognition code included as the screen data. As a screen recognition code for identifying a screen, a different screen recognition code is assigned to each screen.

The control unit 20 includes an input state monitoring unit 21, a search unit 22, and a screen storage unit 23. The input state monitoring unit 21 displays the input state of the input field where the cursor on the screen is located (Kanji conversion or not, full-width or half-width, uppercase or lowercase, etc.) based on the information in the screen storage unit 23. Set automatically. Further, the input state when the input state is changed is written in the screen storage unit 23.

The search unit 22 searches the state storage unit 30 for a screen recognition code based on the screen recognition code received from the screen display unit 10. The screen storage unit 23 includes the search unit 2
When No. 2 succeeds in the search for the corresponding screen recognition code, information (information indicating the input state of the corresponding screen) is read from the state storage unit 30. When the search for the screen recognition code fails, the screen recognition code notified to the search unit 22 and the information on the input state from the input state monitoring unit 21 are written.

The state storage unit 30 stores a plurality of sets of screen recognition codes for identifying screens and input state information for each input field at the time of input.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Notifies the search unit 22 of the screen recognition code (FIG. 2A)
2).

The search unit 22 compares the screen recognition code in the screen storage unit 23 with the screen recognition code received from the screen display unit 10, and determines whether the screen has been switched to another screen. That is, first, the search unit 22 is switched to the screen storage unit 23
(A screen recognition code in the screen storage unit 23 is set to null when the system is started. If it is null, it is not registered.) (FIG. 2A3). ). If not registered, the search unit 22 stores the received screen recognition code and information on the input states 1 to m for each input field (in this case, an appropriate value is temporarily set as the input state) on the screen. This is set in the section 23 (FIG. 2A8).

When the registration has been completed, the search unit 22 compares the screen recognition code received from the screen display unit 10 with the screen recognition code in the screen storage unit 23. When the screen recognition codes do not match, the search unit 22 determines that the screen has been switched to another screen (FIG. 2A4).

When the search unit 22 determines that the screen has been switched to another screen, the search unit 22 stores the currently set screen recognition code in the screen storage unit 23 and information on the input states 1 to m in the state storage unit 3.
Write to 0 (FIG. 2A5). At this time, if information corresponding to the same screen recognition code already exists in the state storage unit 30, it is overwritten.

Next, the search unit 22 searches whether or not the screen recognition code received from the screen display unit 10 is registered in the state storage unit 30 (FIG. 2A6). When the search unit 22 searches the state storage unit 30 and finds that the same screen recognition code is registered in the state storage unit 30 (FIG. 2A6YE).
S), the information of the input state of each corresponding input field is written from the state storage unit 30 to the screen storage unit 23 (FIG. 2A).

When the same screen recognition code is not registered in the state storage unit 30 as a result of the search (NO in FIG. 2A)
Sets the screen recognition code received by the search unit 22 and the information of the input states 1 to m (in this case, an appropriate value is temporarily set as the input state) in the screen storage unit 23 (FIG. 2).
A8) Yes.

The information from the state storage unit 30 is transferred to the screen storage unit 23.
, The input status monitoring unit 21 starts monitoring the input status of each field on the screen. When the cursor is placed on each input field, the input state monitoring unit 21 reads information on the input state of the corresponding input field in the screen storage unit 23 (FIG. 2A9). Also, the input state monitoring unit 21 always displays the input state information of the input field where the cursor is located at the screen storage unit 23 at the timing when the cursor moves to the next input field (A13 in FIG. 2).
The operation of reading from is repeated. As a result, the operator can automatically make an input in the input state conventionally used.

When the operator performs an input operation on an input field in which no input has been performed in the past, the input state monitoring unit 21 acquires the input state of the input field (FIG. 2A10).

Next, whether there is a difference between the information obtained by the input state monitoring unit 21 and the information on the input state of the corresponding input field in the screen storage unit 23 (whether the operator has input in a different input state from the conventional one) (Whether or not) (Fig. 2A1)
1). When a difference occurs in the input state, the input state monitoring unit 21 updates the input state information of the corresponding input field in the screen storage unit 23 with the acquired input state information. Also,
If the input state information of the input field does not exist in the screen storage unit 23, it is additionally stored in the screen storage unit 23 as new information (FIG. 2A12).

Next, when the next screen is received from the host computer (YES in FIG. 2A), the screen display unit 10 notifies the search unit 22 of the screen recognition code (A2 in FIG. 2).
And repeat the same process again.

When the next screen is not received from the host computer (NO in FIG. 2A), the process is terminated (A1 in FIG. 2).
5) writes the screen recognition code and the input state information currently stored in the screen storage unit 23 into the state storage unit 30 and ends the processing (FIG. 2A16).

The input state information of the input field includes kanji conversion, Roman character input, hiragana / alphanumeric, full-width / half-width, CAPSON / OF, as shown in FIG.
F (upper case / lower case), Kana ON / OFF, etc.

Further, all the procedures of the processing shown in FIG. 2 are realized by a program, and as shown in FIG. 4, the program is recorded on a recording medium 51, read by the terminal 50, and executed by the terminal 50. It is possible.

[0032]

The effect of the present invention is that the operation of manually setting the input method according to the state of the input field is omitted, smooth input becomes possible, and the operability of keyboard input is improved. . The reason is that by storing the input state for each screen, if you enter characters from the screen even once, the input method is automatically stored, and thereafter, the input state is automatically set when entering the screen Because it is done.
