JPH11203017A - Display method using colored button - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To confirm whether the function of a relevant button is executed or not even in the case of too quick an operation as well as visually recognizing the pressing of the button on a screen by previously designating the color of the button, which is changed when the button is pressed, so as to be different corresponding to how many times the button is pressed. SOLUTION: According to a program, a CPU outputs a display instruction for displaying the button on the screen and the button is displayed on the screen. The program refers to information previously stored in a memory for changing the color of the button and color information provided as a result of memory reference is plotted in the surface color of the button (S3). When changing the set color to gray →blue → red → gray, for example, the gray is displayed at the time of executing the program. When the button in gray is pressed, the button is recessed in blue and recovered in blue. When the button in blue is pressed, the button is recessed in red and recovered in red. When the button in red is pressed, the button is recessed in original gray again and recovered in gray.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display method using colored buttons displayed on a PC screen by a program.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a button displayed by a program on a PC screen is controlled only by a single color, and the button is pressed (clicked) by a mouse or a touch panel.
At the time, only the button image is dented. In addition, even if it becomes colored, when the button is pressed, the color changes, but when the button returns, the color becomes the original color.

[0003]

However, in the conventional display method using colored buttons displayed on a PC screen by a program, it is possible to visually recognize that the button on the PC screen has been pressed. If the speed is too high, it is not possible to recognize whether the function by the corresponding button has been executed, and the user has to press twice or three times.

[0004] In order to input an order from a customer in a restaurant or the like, the order items on the menu are pressed by the number of orders.
That is, each time the button is pressed, one, two, and three are added, and the number of times of pressing is important. The number of times is directly related to the amount of money, and in places where money is handled, it must be severe. If the button is pressed quickly, the reaction (function) of the button is not guaranteed even if the color changes only when pressed. In the PC, something may be activated on the way to slow down the processing and slow down the reaction. With settings or on / off, it is only necessary to change the color once or not to press or not, but this is a problem where the number directly affects it.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and it is not only visually recognized that the button on the PC screen has been pressed, but also when the speed of the operating person is too high. It is an object of the present invention to provide a display method using colored buttons for confirming whether a function has been executed.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In advance, the color of a button that changes when the button is pressed is designated so as to differ depending on the number of times the button is pressed. That is, information that changes the color of the button is stored in the memory in advance. Each time the button is pressed in this state, the color changes to the set color.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a display method using colored buttons according to the present invention is a display method using colored buttons displayed on a PC screen by a program. It is characterized by displaying a different color from that before being pressed when returning to the original state after the depression.

In addition, each time a button is pressed by a mouse or a touch panel, a different color is displayed when the button is depressed or returned to the original state.

[0009]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the numerical value following the symbol S represents the number of steps. [S1] The program stored in the storage device or the memory is executed. [S2] n = 0 is set in advance as an initial value. [S3] The CPU issues a display command to display a button on the screen by a program, and the button is displayed on the screen. The program refers to information that changes the color of the button stored in the memory in advance, and draws the color information obtained as a result of the memory reference in the surface color of the button. For example, change the setting color from gray → blue →
When red → gray, n = 0 when the program is executed
At the time of gray is displayed. When n = 1, blue is displayed, and when n = 2, red is displayed. Here, n is the number of inputs to a button described later. Furthermore, the buttons on the screen are always in a state of waiting for input from the touch panel or input from the mouse. [S4] It is checked whether or not an input from a touch panel or a mouse has been made on a button on the screen. If there is an input, the process proceeds to S5, and if there is no input, the process returns to S4. That is, the OS generates an event indicating that an input has been made on the coordinate axis on which the button is displayed, and notifies the program displayed at the target position of the event. [S5] Each time a button is input from a touch panel or a mouse, 1 is added to n. [S6] The value of n is monitored. If n is 1 or 2, the process returns to S3. If n becomes 3, the process returns to S2.

When the set color is gray → blue → red → gray as in the example, gray is displayed when n = 0 when the program is executed. When the gray button is pressed, the button turns blue and dents, returning to blue. When the blue button is pressed, the button becomes red and dented and returns to red. When the red button is pressed, the button returns to the original gray, dented, and returns to gray. That is, the button created by the program displays a different color from the preset normal color when pressed. And when the button returns, it will be in a different color. When pressed further, the color changes to a different color set in advance. The setting can correspond from one color to infinite colors. Note that the hardware configuration is CPU, and the memory configuration is Windows OS2 MS-D0S
PC architecture on which the OS operates is used. PC
The architecture refers to the NEC standard / PC. AT standard / O
The hardware configuration conforms to ADG.

[0011]

As described above, the display method using the colored buttons of the present invention is different from the display method using the colored buttons displayed on the PC screen by the program in the following manner. When you return to the original state, it will display a different color than before it was pressed,
Or, when the color is changed, the color that was different from the one before it was pressed is displayed even when the color is changed. Understand and prevent erroneous operation.
