Abstract

PURPOSE:To describe working procedure easily by describing the working procedure simply and automatically between a data processor and its user on the basis of a conversational format. CONSTITUTION:A working procedure analyzing part 31 leads a conversational program for the working procedure from a working procedure conversational part 33 and displays the kind of work for the data processor on a display device 1. The operator specifies and selects the work required by himself from the displayed kinds of work through a keyboard 2. In response to the selecting operation, the analyzing part 31 leads a requred menu from the conversational program corresponding to the selected work, the contents corresponding to the menu are displayed and the operator executes operation in accordance with the display. To end the operation, a working procedure describing part 32 is started, the analyzed result of the working procedure stored in a storage part 4 is read out to edit the read result. The working procedure description is stored in a working procedure storing part 5 in accordance with the edited result.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a work procedure description processing system, and more particularly to a work procedure description processing system that describes a work procedure for a data processing device.

11 beans I Conventionally, when describing the procedure of a work, each work was described in a programming language, and each work described by that language was written and described by syntax according to the grammar of that language. It has become.

This description method has the disadvantage that in order to describe work procedures, the user must understand the language used for the description, and as a result, the range of work procedures that can be described is limited.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional methods, and its purpose is to allow the user to input a description of the work procedure sequentially in response to questions and instructions from the device. A work procedure description processing system that enables the description of work procedures to be easily and automatically created in an interactive manner between a data processing device and a user, and also expands the range of work procedures that can be described. Our goal is to provide the following.

11 Sign 1 The work procedure description processing system according to the present invention includes a display means for displaying the types of work to be performed by the data processing device in order to allow the operator to selectively specify the types of work to be performed by the data processing device; an operation input instruction means for sequentially instructing the operator to input the contents of the selected and specified work in response to the selection operation of the work type based on the displayed contents; The present invention is characterized in that it includes an analysis means for analyzing input operation contents, and a storage means for editing the analysis results and sequentially describing and storing the work procedures.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be explained using an example.
FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and 1 is a display device such as a CRT, which displays selection instructions and input instructions to the operator, and also displays operation inputs for the operator. It is something.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an operation input instruction device consisting of a keyboard. 3 is a data processing device that has the function of analyzing work procedures in an interactive manner with the operator and writing M collections;
As shown in the figure, there is a work procedure analysis unit 31 that analyzes operation input data necessary for the operator to describe the work procedure, and a work procedure description unit 32 that edits the analysis results to create a description of the work procedure.
and a work procedure dialogue section 33 in which a program for dialogue with the operator is stored in advance. Reference numeral 4 denotes a work procedure analysis result i storage section for storing the analysis results of the analysis section 31, and 5 is a work procedure description storage section for storing the description results of the description section 32.

Note that A to G indicate the flow of data between each section.

The basic operation of the system shown in FIG. 1 will be explained below using the flowchart shown in FIG. First, the work procedure analysis section 31
derives an interactive program for describing the work procedure from the work procedure dialogue unit 33 and displays on the display device 1 the type of work to be performed on the data processing device. The operator uses the keyboard 2 to specifically select a desired task from the displayed types of tasks. In response to this work type selection operation, the analysis unit 31 derives a desired menu from the dialog program corresponding to the selected work, and thereafter displays and operates the menu according to this menu. .

In other words, the system uses a method in which the operator is sequentially asked about the details of the procedure for the currently selected and specified work, and in response to each of these questions, the operator inputs from the keyboard according to his/her desired work procedure. . The display contents of question A include a selection item (hereinafter referred to as "end") that means termination, and when the operator selects and instructs this, the operation input instruction will be ended thereafter.

If there is no “end” instruction, the analysis unit 31 executes and analyzes the work procedure, and the execution status is displayed on Mi! Displayed on tl. The analysis result of this work procedure is temporarily stored in the storage unit 4, and waits for an operation input instruction regarding the contents of the work procedure again.

In the case of "finish", the work procedure description section 32 is activated,
The analysis results of the work procedure stored in the storage W4 are read out and edited. The result of this editing process, that is, the work procedure description, is stored in the work procedure storage section 5.

Next, a specific example of the above basic operation will be explained in detail using FIGS. 3 to 5. 41 in FIG. 3 is the type of work displayed on the display device 1, and in this example there are two types: calculation work function (calculator display) and data processing work function (floppy display). It is not limited to this. Note that there is also a display for the above-mentioned "end" function. Here, if the calculation work function is selected by the operator, the work procedure analysis unit 31 analyzes this and learns that it is a calculation function, and stores this result in the storage unit 4 as shown in the upper part of FIG. . Corresponding to this calculation work function, an inquiry instruction to input the formula p is derived from the program storage section 33 and displayed on the display section (42).

In response to this, when the operator inputs a calculation formula for the factorial of 5 (5!) as the next work step, the analysis unit 31 analyzes this and executes this calculation formula (43
) and are stored in the storage section 4' as shown in the lower part of FIG.

Next, the display device 1 displays the same type of work as the first step (41) (44), so the operator selects and inputs "End".In response to this instruction, the editing section 32 reads out the contents stored in the storage unit 4 and edits them.The result of this editing is stored in the storage unit 5 as shown in FIG.

The result stored in the storage unit 5 is a description of the work procedure desired by the operator.

Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, there is an advantage that there is no need to understand a special language for describing a work procedure, and anyone can easily describe a work procedure.
