Abstract

PURPOSE:To display all function key guides by scroll displaying function key guides one by one. CONSTITUTION:Function key number being used and contents (contents, selection, termination, cover, electronic table computer, storage, command) of function key guide are stored in a function key guide table 1. A display section 2 displays the contents of the table 1 in the key guide display area of an input picture 3. The input picture is in the state where there in no area large enough to display all the contents of the table 1. When a specific function key (HELP key) of a keyboard 5 is depressed, a controlling section 4 controls the display section 2, and scrolls the contents of the table 1 displayed in the key guide display area of the output picture 3 and displays one by one every time the HELP key is depressed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a function key guide display method for an application program that displays a function key guide on a screen in a computer program that uses function keys.

〔overview〕

In a function key guide display method for an application program that displays a function key guide on a screen, the present invention scrolls and displays a function key guide of available function keys one by one each time a specific function key is pressed. This allows all function key guides to be displayed on one screen.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional function key guide displays, the number of function key guides that can be displayed is limited due to screen area limitations.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Therefore, with the conventional function key guide display method, it may not be possible to display all the function key guides for available function keys due to display screen area constraints, which poses a problem that becomes a major limitation when creating application programs. there were.

The present invention solves these conventional problems,
An object of the present invention is to provide a function key guide display method that can display all function key guides on one screen.

Means for Solving Problem c] The present invention provides a display unit that displays a function key guide on a screen by referring to a function key guide display table that includes function key numbers and display contents; A function key guide display method including a control unit that recognizes when a function key is pressed and executes an operation corresponding to the function key,
The control section is characterized in that it includes a control means that causes the display section to scroll display a function key guide when a specific function key is pressed.

[For production]

The present invention first displays a displayable function key guide in a display area on the screen by referring to a function key guide display table that includes the numbers of function keys to be used and display contents. The control unit recognizes that a function key has been pressed and executes the operation corresponding to that function key, but each time a specific function key (for example, rllELPJ key) is pressed, the control unit controls the display unit. to scroll the function key guide one by one. That is, all function key guides of usable function keys can be displayed by scrolling.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference number 1 is a function key guide display table that stores the function key number in use and the contents of the function key guide corresponding to the function key number. The display section 2 is
The function key guide display table 1 is referred to and displayed in the function key guide display area (shaded area) of the output screen 3. On the other hand, the control unit 4 recognizes the pressed function key on the keyboard 5 and causes the process corresponding to the function key to be performed.

A feature of the present invention is that when a specific function key is pressed, the control section 5 controls the display section 2 to scroll and display the function key guide.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of scroll transition of a function key guide used in the experimental data analysis system.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Here, function key numbers 1 to 7 are used, the specific function key that scrolls the function key guide is set to function key number 22, and the number of function key guides that can be displayed at one time on the output screen 3 is 6. do.

Function key number 1 is "Table of Contents", function key number 2 is "Selection", and function key number 3 is "Table of Contents".
Function key number 4 is "Cover", function key number 5 is "Calculator", function key number 6 is "Save", function key number 7 is "Command", function key number 22 is r HELP J
It is.

First, the display unit 2 refers to the function key guide display table 1, and displays function keys corresponding to function key numbers 1 to 5 as shown in FIG. 2 (1) in the function key guide display area of the output screen 3. Guide (table of contents, selection, exit, cover, calculator) and function key guide corresponding to function key number 22 (
HELP) is displayed.

Here, when the function key number 22 is pressed, the control section 4 recognizes this and displays the display section 22.
to scroll the function key guide on the output screen 3 one by one to the left as shown in FIG. 2 (2). Note that the function key guide for function key number 22 is fixed, and the function key guide for function key number 1 is fixed.
Scroll and display the function key guide for ~7.

Similarly, the function key number 22 (IIELP
Each time you press the key), the function key guide is scrolled.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention scrolls the display of the function key guide one by one each time a specific function key is pressed, thereby displaying the function key guide of all available function keys in an application program. can be displayed on one screen, and the display area of the output screen can be used effectively.
