Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an information transmission device in a computer control system, etc., and more particularly to a CRT message information display device for displaying various message information to an operator.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems] In a central monitoring system such as computer control, it is important to constantly provide information to the operator on the operating status (operational failure, abnormality, etc.) of the equipment or equipment to be monitored. That's true. Therefore, in order to display information (messages) quickly, C.
A method is adopted in which particularly important messages are displayed in red using an RT console device or the like, and are communicated to the operator by activating alarms such as bells and buzzers.

The prior art will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the entire message display on a CRT. CR constituting the CRT console device 1a
Tlb contains multiple messages -02n1-..., 2.・・・
- 2.1 + 2n is displayed, and it moves sequentially in the direction of arrow 4 from display amount R3a toward erasing position 3b.

As shown in FIG. 1(b), when an important message 2R (>1 usually displayed in red) passes through the erasure position Tfj, 3bVc, a new message is displayed at the display position 3a in the conventional device.
Message 2R is erased at the same time as it is displayed. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that the message 2R is erased from the CRTlb before the operator checks it.The disadvantage is that the smaller the display area l and the larger the amount of messages displayed (the faster the message moves), growing.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a CRT message information display device that allows an operator to confirm important messages more reliably.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a CRT message information display device that sequentially rolls up or down a message displayed on a CRT from a display position to an erasing position. If the message of the position is an important message, a means for displaying that fact (important message display) and stopping the roll-up or roll-down operation, and a means for reporting the confirmation point 1# within a predetermined period after the important message is displayed. A means for issuing a timeout signal when no message is input, and a means for erasing messages displayed on a CRT all at once when confirmation disconnection information is input while an important message is being displayed, or when a timeout signal is issued. The object of the present invention is to provide a CRT message information display device characterized in that it is equipped with means for.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of one embodiment, in which the same elements as in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. A request to output the message 2 (referring to the message to which important message information has been added) output from the message request section 5 is given to the message output section 7 via the message output control section 6. The message output control unit 6 detects an important message (2R in FIG. 1(b)) from among these messages based on the important message information when the CRTlb cannot display all messages in response to an output request. The display position is managed, and information from the push button control section 8 and the timer control section is referenced at that time.

Here, the pushbutton control section 8 is provided with alternate illuminated pushbuttons 8a and 8b. The pushbutton 8a is turned on when the operator acknowledges an important message, and when this is turned on, confirmation/disconfirmation information for the message displayed on the CRTlb is input. The pushbutton 8b is turned on when the operator does not need to confirm all important messages, and when this button is turned on, the important message information is ignored. Also, the timer control section 9
There are predetermined ties, and after a certain period of time C
A signal is issued to erase the messages on RTlb all at once.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG.

Instead, the message requesting unit 5 requests the display of messages 2, including important messages and messages to which additional information has been added (block 100).

When the message 2 is in an amount that can be displayed on the CRTlb, the message output control section 6 outputs the message to the message output section 7.
A request is made to display all messages 2 (block 200).

When the number of messages 2 is too large to be displayed on the CRTlb, the message output control section 6 extracts the messages one by one, detects the message 2R to which important message information has been added, and manages its display position. (Block 300).

Next, a display request is made to the message output unit 7, and unless the message 2R to which the important message information has been added has reached the erase position and no input has been made from the pushbutton 8b to ignore the important message, Message display proceeds (block group 400 to block 300).

In cases other than the above, the system waits for input (confirmation from the operator) from the pushbutton 8a (block 500), and when the operator confirms it or a certain period of time has elapsed (block 600), the displayed messages are all displayed at once. and erase (block 700).

When there are no more messages to display (block 8)
00), and all operations end (900).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, the CRT message information display device]
Additionally, there is a means for the operator to input confirmed information, and when the message at the erased position is an important message, it is displayed to that effect (important message display) and the roll-up (or roll-down) operation is stopped. means and
Means for issuing a time-out signal when confirmed information is not input even after an important message is displayed for a predetermined time;
Since the CRT message information display device is provided with a means for erasing messages displayed on the RT at once, it is possible to obtain a CRT message information display device that allows the operator to confirm important messages more reliably. Therefore, the operator can check important messages from among a large number of messages and monitor the system.
