Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the operation and shorten the queuing time by setting the execution mode to be probably next set in accordance with past transition states by calculation and automatically switching the mode to this execution mode with the operation of one touch for the end of a current job if switching to this execution mode is proper. CONSTITUTION:A transition probability calculating part 51 which calculates a probability of transition from one execution mode to the next execution mode in accordance with inputted transition state data with respect to each execution mode and a mode management part 41 which sets the next execution mode based on the transition probability calculating part 51 are provided. Application systems 31-33 are provided which causes a window control part to display a mode select picture to wait for selection of the next execution mode if a transition non-permitting signal which does not select the next execution mode is inputted. Thus, the execution mode following each execution mode is set more properly according as the number of times of execution is increased, and the transition to the proper next execution mode is executed without returning to mode selection at each time of the job end of the execution mode when transition from the current execution mode to the next execution mode is executed.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an integrated office system.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional integrated office system described above, when a job in each execution mode is finished, the initial screen of the execution mode is displayed, and then
Since the mode selection screen is temporarily returned, there is a drawback that switching from the current execution mode to the next execution mode involves two unnecessary operations 9 and a loss of time.

[Means for solving problems]

When the integrated office system of the present invention inputs transition state data of a transition from one execution mode to the next execution mode, it calculates the transition probability of transition from each execution mode to the next execution mode for each execution mode from the input transition state data. a transition probability calculation section within the basic operating system that calculates the current value, and a mode management section within the office basic software section that sets the next execution mode corresponding to each execution mode based on the results of the transition probability calculation section. , when started from the input/output device, displays the mode selection screen on the window control unit, and then inputs a mode selection signal to select which execution mode, the selected execution mode is executed and at the same time the mode The next execution mode set by the management department is displayed in the office basic software department by driving the window control section, and when a transition permission signal is input to select the displayed next execution mode, the next execution mode is executed at the same time. Drive the window control unit to display the next execution mode of the currently executed execution mode set by the mode management unit in the office basic software unit, and input a transition disallow signal that does not select the displayed next execution mode. Then, the application system displays a mode selection screen on the window control unit and waits for selection of the displayed execution mode.

[Effect]

Therefore, the settings for the next execution mode for each execution mode are
The mode gradually becomes more appropriate as it is executed, and when transitioning from the actual execution mode to the next execution mode, it becomes possible to directly transition to the appropriate execution mode without having to return to mode selection every time a job in each execution mode ends.

〔Example〕

Next, regarding an embodiment of the present invention, referring to the drawings, there will be shown a configuration diagram showing an embodiment. FIG. 1(b) is a diagram showing a stack of the -mode management unit 41 of FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment, and is a diagram showing the transition relationship of each execution mode in the integrated office system of FIG. 1(a).

This embodiment includes a user input/output device 1, an office user interface 2 connected to the user input/output device 1, and an application system 31 connected to the office user interface 2. .32.33 (hereinafter referred to as AP section 3), which is connected to the AP section 3 and the office user interface 2, and has a mode management section 41. Office Management Department 42゜Office Operations Department 43. It consists of a basic software section 4 having an office file section 44 and an office mail section 45, and a basic operating system 5 connected to the office basic software section 4 and the office user interface 2 and having a transition probability calculation routine 51. There is.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference also to FIG.

When any of the application systems 31, 32, and 33 of the AP unit 3 is activated by the user input/output device 1, the AP unit 3 activates the activated application system 31.
．． 32. It is difficult to judge whether the startup of 33 is the first startup or not (step 11). If it is the first startup, as shown in the table below, select the next mode from the actual running mode of the transition probability table held by the basic operating system 5. All transitions to execution mode are directed to the self mode, and initial settings are performed (step 12).
).

Therefore, the transition probability P from the actual execution mode i to the next execution mode j is 11QII for i to j, i
= J j is "'1", and based on this result, the next execution mode in the transition table held by the mode management unit 41 of the office basic software unit 4 is set to the self mode and the execution mode as shown below. Therefore, for example, when executing execution mode 2, the transition flag also becomes self mode 2 (step 1).
3).

However, if it is determined in step 11 that it is not the first startup, the transition states stored in the stack of the mode management unit 41 that have transitioned from one execution mode to the next execution mode are sequentially popped, and the transition state of the basic operating system 5 is cause the probability calculation routine 51 to process and update the transition probability table;
Based on the updated transition probability table, select the next execution mode with the highest probability of transitioning from each execution mode to the next execution mode, and if there are two or more selected next execution modes, select the next execution mode that last transitioned to. The next execution mode column of the transition table of the mode management unit 41 is updated to the next execution mode selected corresponding to each actual execution mode (step 14). When the process of step 13 or step 14 is completed, the office basic software section 4, instructed by the AP section 3, displays the mode selection screen using the window control section (not shown).
is activated and displayed on the workstation (step 15). When the user selects an execution mode on the mode selection screen and data is sent from the user input/output device 1, the sent data is judged (step 16), and if it is an instruction to end the system, the system ends; if not, the system ends. For example, input the t-do selection signal to be sent next (step 17).
. When the mode selection signal is input, it is determined whether the selected mode is the first one selected (step 18).

If it is not the first selected one, the transition state (i, j) from the previously selected execution mode i to the selected execution mode j is pushed onto the stack of the mode management unit 41 (one step) . The office basic software unit 4 causes the mode management unit 41 to determine whether the stack has overflowed with the pushed transition state (i, j) data (step 20), and if overflow information is obtained, the transition state is retrieved from the stack. (i, j) Pop the data and transfer it to the base operating system 5,
The transition probability table is updated by the transition probability calculation routine 51 (step 21), the next execution mode is searched from the initial screen of the selected execution mode and the transition table of the mode management section 41, and the next execution mode is set. The transition flag (j) is displayed on the workstation by operating the window control section (step 22). If no overflow information was obtained in step 20, after step 20, step 2
Execute 2. Further, if it is selected first in step 18, step 22 is executed after step 18. After the job is executed according to the contents displayed in step 22 and completed (step 23), the transition flag (j
) is as desired, and if it is as desired, the user presses the end key, and if it is not as desired, the user presses the end key and another key at the same time. If you input these key information and input only the end key, step 19 also returns -10-''.

If you press the exit key and the relaxation key at the same time, step 1
Return to 5.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the operation at the time when the integrated office system of this embodiment has been used to a certain extent.

35 is displayed, so if you are satisfied with the execution mode 65, press the end key. When the end key is pressed, the initial screen of execution mode 65 is displayed on the workstation. The job in execution mode 65 is ended based on the display. A flag for execution mode 64 is displayed as the transition destination based on the maximum transition probability P54, and if this is acceptable, press the end key.

When the end key is pressed, the initial screen of execution mode 64 is displayed on the workstation, and the job is ended as in the previous step. As a transition destination, a flag for execution mode 68 (not shown) is displayed on the workstation based on transition probability P48. If you need to transition to an execution mode other than execution mode 68, press the end key and another key at the same time to return to the mode selection screen 61 without transitioning to execution mode 68.
is displayed on the workstation. You can select the execution mode again from this display.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention calculates and sets the execution mode that is likely to be executed next from each execution mode based on the past transition state, and if the switch to that execution mode is appropriate. , one-touch operation that signals the end of the current job automatically switches to the next execution mode without returning to mode selection each time each job ends, simplifying operations and reducing waiting time. This has the effect of reducing the number of executions, and as the number of executions increases, the order of execution modes can be appropriately set, and a system suitable for the operator can be constructed.
