Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when the area of a display unit is small for all data elements to be displayed on a display unit of a device having a display function, a part of the display unit is first displayed, and the display unit is sequentially displayed in accordance with an instruction from an input unit. It is common to use a scroll function for displaying data while changing.

[0003] In addition to the case where the user looks at all the data sequentially, there are also cases where the user wants to display data at a position distant from the data being displayed at that time. For such a case, an area called a scroll bar is displayed on the display unit, the position in the scroll bar is made to correspond to the data position, and the knob is moved to an arbitrary position in the scroll bar, so that the position is displayed. A method of displaying associated data, and a method of continuously scrolling the screen by continuously pressing a button on a keyboard or a screen to which a scroll function is assigned are used. Further, as for a method of continuing scrolling by holding down a button, some devices are devised to increase the scrolling speed by keeping the button pressed for a certain period of time or longer.

The function of each section will be described in detail. The data storage section 31 is an area for storing a text document to be edited. Generally, a text document to be edited is stored on a hard disk or a floppy disk. Therefore, the data storage unit 31 may be a hard disk device or a floppy disk device, or may store data on its own memory area. The data storage unit may include the device. In this example, Edgar Allan
Paw's work "Annabel Lee" is stored.
The data importance determining unit 32 collects information for determining the importance of each row by, for example, reading which row has been changed by monitoring the data storage unit 1. Then, based on the collected information, the importance of each row is determined according to a predetermined rule, and the information is set in the data importance storage unit 33.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the storage contents of a storage medium storing the program and related data of the present invention. A storage medium such as a floppy disk or CD-ROM stores, for example, volume information 81, directory information 8
2. It is composed of storage contents such as a program execution file 83 and a program-related data file 84. The program of the present invention is program-coded based on flowcharts shown in FIGS.

Next, the display control unit 34 in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above.
The processing example and the waiting time acquisition processing example will be described with reference to FIGS.

First, a processing example of the display control unit 34 of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a processing example of the display control unit 34 in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In step S41, the display control unit 34 of the information processing apparatus allows the user to operate the scroll request button ("previous line" button) 35a or the scroll request button ("next line" button) 35b of the input unit 35. Wait until pressed. If the user has issued a scroll request instruction, the next step S42 is to scroll one line on the screen of the data display unit 36 in the direction actually instructed. This does not mean that the processing has been completed.
At 43, when the "previous line" button 35a or the "next line" button 35b is not released and is kept pressed, the waiting time until the next line to be displayed after the line displayed by scrolling is displayed. To get. This waiting time acquisition process is the point of the present invention, and will be described later with reference to FIGS.

When the waiting time is acquired, step S44
Then, a timer is set so that the elapse of the waiting time is notified. Then, in step S45, the above step S4
It waits until a notification of the elapse of the waiting time comes from the timer set in step 4 or a release notification of the "previous line" button 35a or the "next line" button 35b of the input unit 35 comes. If any of the notifications waiting in step S45 is received, step S
At 46, it is determined whether or not this notification is the release of the "previous line" button 35a or the "next line" button 35b. If the button is released, the process returns to the step S41 at the beginning of this processing to indicate that the scroll request has been lost, and waits until the next scroll request comes.
If a timer notification is received instead of releasing the button, it is determined that continuous scrolling has been requested, and step S
Returning to step 42, the scroll processing is continued.

Next, a waiting time acquisition process during display control by the display control unit 34 of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the importance (waiting time) stage and the line number in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the example of a scroll speed determination process.

The display control section 34 of the information processing apparatus acquires the importance of each row from the data importance storage section 33 during the display control processing. It is assumed that the obtained importance of each line is indicated by a dark rectangle in the graph of FIG. In this example, the importance of the data is represented in five levels, for example, 1 to 5, and it is assumed that the larger the value of the importance, the more important the data. In this example, it is assumed that the scroll waiting time also acquires five levels according to the importance.

First, when scrolling, not only when important data (rows) are displayed, but also when the scrolling speed is lower near important data (rows), the probability of finding important data is higher. Therefore, it is assumed that the vicinity of the important data (row) is α rows before and after the important data row, and the waiting time is set to a value corresponding to five levels of the importance of the important data within the range of α rows before and after the important data row. That is, in step S61,
After the correspondence table between the line numbers and the previous one is created, step S62
In the table, set the importance and the corresponding waiting time in the table,
The waiting time corresponding to the importance of each row is set over α rows before and after the row. This α can be set arbitrarily. In the example of FIG. 5, the waiting time is represented by a thin rectangle. FIG. 5 shows a case where α = 2.

If the scroll speed suddenly changes, the display is difficult to see. Therefore, in step S63, the waiting time set by the above-mentioned rule is set to 1 for every β rows before and after it so that the display waiting time changes stepwise. Decay step by step. The example of FIG. 5 shows a case where β = 1. When a plurality of waiting times are set for one row, the largest waiting time is used. In this way, the waiting time until each line is displayed is determined.

Next, a description will be given of an example in which the data importance determination control described in claims 6, 16 and 26 in the claims of the present invention is applied to the information processing apparatus of this embodiment.

In the case where the data importance determination control according to claims 6, 16 and 26 is adopted in the information processing apparatus of this embodiment,
The number of changes to the line is a factor in determining importance. Therefore, the data importance determining unit 32 of the information processing apparatus
As shown in FIG. 7, it is necessary to have a table for storing the number of lines of the text file stored in the data storage unit 31 and the number of times the line has been updated. The correspondence table of FIG. 7 is constructed by performing an initialization process in which, when text data is read into the data storage unit 31, the number of lines of the text data is checked and the number of updates of all lines is set to 0. .

Since the upper limit of the number of data updates is indefinite,
When it is desired to use the importance of the determined stage, when a data importance acquisition request is issued to the data importance storage unit 33, the number of all stages of importance is set to N, the maximum number of updates is set to X,
Let R be the number of updates of the row whose importance is to be checked, calculate the importance according to a calculation formula such as (R × N) / (X + 1) (however, round down to the decimal point) and notify the request source of the value. I just need.

The data importance determining section 32 sets the number of updates in the data importance storage section 33. The data importance determining unit 32 monitors the data storage unit 31 and, when the text data stored in the data storage unit 31 is changed, examines the changed line or determines whether the text data is changed from the data storage unit 31. The data change row is acquired by receiving the notification of the update. Then, the data importance determining unit 32 makes a request to the data importance storage unit 33 to increase the number of updates of the changed row by one.

Next, an example in which the data importance determination control described in claims 5, 15 and 25 in the claims of the present invention is adopted in this embodiment will be described.

In the case where the data importance determination control according to the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth aspects is adopted in the information processing apparatus of the present embodiment,
How much that line was displayed in the past is a factor in determining importance. Therefore, the data importance storage unit 33
The total display time is stored instead of the number of updates in FIG. The data importance determining unit 32 sets the total display time in the data importance storage unit 33.
The data importance determining unit 32 monitors the display control unit 34,
The display time of each line is obtained by a method of obtaining the display start time of each line in the text data and the display end time of the line. Then, the data importance determination unit 32 requests the data importance storage unit 33 to increase the total display time of the row by the acquired display time.

Next, a description will be given of an example in which the data importance determination control described in claims 7, 17 and 27 in the claims of the present invention is adopted in this embodiment.

When the data importance determination control according to claims 7, 17 and 27 is adopted in the information processing apparatus of this embodiment,
The importance must be determined in advance according to the contents of the text file to be read. For example, a rule is registered such that the priority of a line containing the word “caution” is set to a higher priority. When a text file is stored in the data storage unit 31, the data importance determination unit 32 checks the display content of each line of the text file, compares it with a previously registered importance, and compares the acquired importance with the data importance storage unit. 33, and registers the importance of the line.

As described above, the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention has the following functions and effects.

The information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention stores a data storage unit 31 for storing data, a data importance determining unit 32 for determining the importance of display data, and an importance of display data. It has a data importance storage unit 33, a display control unit 34 for controlling the scroll speed of display data based on the data importance, an input unit 35 for operating display contents, and a data display unit 36 for displaying data. .

An ordinary data display device with a scroll function comprises a data storage unit, an input unit, a display control unit, and a display unit. When displaying data that cannot be displayed at a time on the display unit, an instruction from the input unit is issued. Accordingly, the display control unit performs a display position shift of the display data and a new data display process to realize a scroll function. When scrolling is continuously performed, when a continuous scroll request from the input unit is detected, a process of adjusting a scroll speed using a value designated in advance is performed.

On the other hand, in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the data storage unit 31, the display control unit 34, the input unit 35, and the data display unit 36, the data storage unit 3
A data importance determining unit 32 for determining the importance of each of the data components stored in No. 1 and a data importance storage unit 33 for storing this importance information are introduced. Further, the display control unit 34 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Uses the importance information stored in the data importance storage unit 33, and performs control to reduce the scroll speed when displaying data near a data element with high importance. Thus, there is novelty in making it easy for a user to determine data having high importance.

Further, in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the data importance storage unit 33 can store the component-specific importance of the data stored in the data storage unit 31.

In order for the display control unit 34 to adjust the scroll speed, a data importance storage unit 33 is required instead of the designated scroll speed storage area in the conventional device.

Further, in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the data importance determining section 32 acquires the data state from the data display section 36, the data storage section 31, and the like,
The importance of each component of the data stored in the data storage unit 31 is determined based on the information, and the importance data stored in the data importance storage unit 33 can be updated.

In order to determine the data importance used for adjusting the scroll speed, a data importance determining unit 32 is required. In the method of determining the data importance, the data display unit 36
Various methods are conceivable depending on the type of data to be displayed, the method of using the data display unit 36, and the like. Data storage unit 3
It is also conceivable to obtain information from the device 1, the data display unit 36, or another device in which the technology of the present invention is incorporated and used, and determine the importance according to the information.

In the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, when receiving a scroll request for changing the display data position from the input unit 35, the display control unit 34 determines the importance of the data component. Importance storage unit 33
If the data components acquired with high importance are displayed by scrolling, it is possible to control the scroll speed to be slower than other parts.

In the case where scrolling is continuously performed as in the related art, when a continuous scroll request from the input unit 35 is detected, the scroll speed is not adjusted by using a value designated in advance but by using data. By adjusting the scrolling speed based on the degree of importance, the user can easily find important data. As before,
Rather than treat all data components indiscriminately, it is novel in dealing with the concept of importance.

In the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, data importance determining section 32 obtains the display time of the data component from display control section 34 and increases the importance of the data element having a long display time. Make a decision.

The above-described method is suitable for judging the importance of a data display device used for browsing past materials and the like. This is because data components that have been displayed for a longer time are almost certainly considered to be frequently referred important data.

Further, in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the data importance determining section 32 monitors the data in the data storage section 31 so that other apparatuses using the data storage section 31 Is rewritten, the rewriting frequency is obtained, and a determination is made to increase the importance of the rewriting frequency that is high.

For example, the above-described method is suitable for determining the importance when the present invention is used as a display unit of a data editing device such as a word processor. This is because the part that is frequently rewritten is considered to be important data with higher usage, and there is almost no mistake.

Further, in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, data importance determining section 32 determines the meaning of data and makes a determination to increase the importance of necessary data.

For example, the above method is suitable for determining the importance when the present invention is used as a display device of a graphic processor such as a CAD. For example, if a figure is placed locally in the entire area where the figure can be placed,
Almost all of the data components are data for indicating that "there is no graphic". Such data has no meaning for the user except that it gives information that a new graphic can be arranged, and it is desirable that the data be instantaneously passed when scrolling such an area. Therefore, it is only necessary to recognize that the data element means "nothing exists".

Further, in the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the data importance determining unit 32 stores the time at which an event serving as a reference of the importance of data has occurred,
Corrections are made to increase the importance of data components related to more recent events.
