Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the size of a general format template, by providing the general format template and an expansion template, and describing the content of the former on the latter in linking way. CONSTITUTION:When ordinary transcription is performed, only the general format template 2 is displayed on a display screen, and a required data is described. However, when the description column of the general format template 2 is filled, an operator selects the expansion template 3, and two templates 2 and 3 are displayed in a form in which they are superimposed. And instruction to display the expansion template 3 on a display window is issued from a window selection processing part 5, and required description is continued on the expansion template 3. In such way, it is possible to reduce the size of the general format template.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A general description of a template corresponding to a table displayed on one screen and used for inputting characters in a data processing device that displays figures on a display screen and creates programs in an interactive manner. A format template and an expansion template are prepared so that descriptions that cannot be written in the general format template can be written in a connected manner in the expansion template.

Keep the description frame of the general format template small.

It is disclosed that the number of templates that can be used as a whole is increased.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention provides a window control method, in particular, a general template and an extended template to be displayed on the display screen, and allows the extended template to be displayed on the display window as needed for processing so that writing can be continued. Regarding the window control method used.

[Conventional technology]

A data processing device is being considered in which an application program is created by interacting with a display screen. In such a data processing device, in the process of creating the application program, a table is displayed on one screen and characters are written in the table. A table like this.

Display a template with table frames etc. created in advance, write characters etc. within the frame of the template, and retain the contents of the template as necessary to create the above application program. It will be used.

Such templates are prepared for various purposes.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventionally, various templates have been prepared as mentioned above, but 3
For example, there is also a "general transcription" template that clearly describes the transcription source and transcription destination and then performs data transcription.

In such a template, the size of the description field is determined by taking into consideration the amount of description data.

In the past, the size was chosen to be able to describe the maximum amount of descriptive data, so to speak. For this reason, about 80% of the "transcription general" templates have a surplus in the description field, and the number of templates that can be used as a device is limited in terms of memory size. Furthermore, since the size of one template is large, a problem as shown in FIG. 4 arises.

That is, FIG. 4(A) shows the state before screen scrolling,
FIG. 4(B) shows the state after the screen is scrolled, but the size of the display screen 20 shown by the solid line is smaller than the size of the template 10 shown in the drawing.
This means that only a portion of the image can be displayed at one time.

For this.

As shown in the figure, the desired location is displayed by scrolling, but as shown in the screen 20 shown in FIG. Processing becomes complicated.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by preparing an expansion template and thereby making it possible to reduce the size of the description field of the "general transcription" template, for example.

FIG. 1 shows a basic configuration diagram of the present invention. In the figure, l is a template table, 2 is a general format template, and 3 is a template table.
is an expansion template, 4 is a template selection processing section,
5 represents a window selection processing section.

The template table 1 stores a plurality of templates of a plurality of types. The template selection processing unit 4 selects the set code information (f kind+f
code - for example, code r0102J, etc.), a desired template, such as general format template 2 or expansion template 3, is selected and displayed on the display screen.

The window selection processing section 5 selectively selects one or more templates displayed on the display screen and displays them on three display windows. That is, when two templates are displayed superimposed on the front and back sides.

For example, the template displayed on the back side can be displayed on the front side (it has the function of instructing to change the front and back sides).

[Effect]

During normal transcription, only the general format template 2 shown in FIG. 1 is displayed on the display screen, and necessary data (characters) are written. However, if the description field in the general format template 2 shown in FIG. 1 becomes full, the operator selects the expansion template 3, and the two templates 2 and 3 are displayed in a superimposed manner. Then, the window selection processing unit 5 instructs the expansion template 3 to be displayed on the display window, and continues writing the necessary data (characters) in the expansion template 3. Needless to say, in this case, both templates 2 and 3 are handled in the same way as one template in the conventional case.

〔Example〕

FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B) show processing modes using window control in the case of the present invention.

In the illustration in FIG. 2 (A), general format template 2
is displayed on the display window, and the expansion template 3 is displayed on the background. On the other hand, in the illustration of FIG. 2(B), the expansion template 3 which was on the back side in FIG. 2(A) is displayed in the display window by the processing by the window selection processing unit 5, is displayed on the back.

FIG. 3 shows an example expansion template for a function template. In this case.

This template expands the field for function description, and in the case shown in Figure 9, it is described as a "field expansion" template. In the column labeled Arithmetic formula in the diagram,
Arithmetic expressions are written.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to one aspect of the present invention, the description field of the general format template is made to continue with the description field of the expansion template, and the screen can be switched by window control.

Therefore, the size of the general format template can be made smaller than in the conventional case. Furthermore, compared to the conventional scrolling process, since the window is selected, it is not only easier for the operator to see, but also the display process is simpler.
