JPS63208934A - Hierarchical management processing system for screen display - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the number of program steps for a process where a screen to be displayed next is searched by using a screen hierarchical managing table to manage a linkage relation between a screen which is under display and a screen to be displayed next. CONSTITUTION:In a central supervisory processing system 21, an overall system constitution diagram, the picture information 29 on an intra-office system diagram of a terminal station 22A, etc., and a screen hierarchical managing table 10 are stored in a memory 28. The table 10 is loaded into a processing part 27 and used. When an operator supplies an indirect instruction input (m) for search of a screen via an input part 25, the part 27 decides the number of the screen to be displayed next based on the table 10. The desired picture information is loaded from the memory 28 and outputted to a display via an output part 26. Thus the operator can easily display the next screen in response to the present display screen.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] In a method of searching for the next screen to be displayed when displaying a display screen by indirect instruction, the complexity of the process of determining based on the currently displayed screen and the type of indirect instruction is solved. Therefore, by having a matrix of screen hierarchies in a table, the search for the next screen is made simple and quick.

[Industrial application field]

When searching for a screen to be displayed on a display screen, the present invention provides a hierarchy in screen display that concisely and quickly searches for the next screen to be displayed by indirect instructions such as screen up/down and page up/down. Regarding management processing methods.

Indirect screen display instructions are extremely effective operations when an operator switches screens. Therefore, screen switching display based on indirect instructions is required to be simple and quick.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional screen display search method is shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, in the conventional screen display search method, processing
-1,■-2,...■-N? Determine what screen is currently displayed (check the screen number), jump to a subroutine (,, SU B 1, etc.), and perform processing ■-1, ■-2, ■- in that subroutine. As shown in Figure 3, it is determined which indirect instruction has been received, screen up/down or page up/down, and
-4, the screen to be displayed next is searched.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In conventional screen display search methods, there is a lot of judgment processing, which takes processing time, and when following a program, it is difficult to determine what the current screen is and what indirect instructions will cause the next screen to be displayed. The problem was that it was difficult to follow the sequence of events.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and FIG. 1 shows a principle flowchart of the present invention. In the present invention, display screens are managed in a hierarchical manner. In this hierarchization, the vertical relationship can be called up by a screen up/down instruction, and the left/right relationship can be called up by a page up/down instruction. For this purpose, a screen hierarchy management table 10 is provided so that the next screen to be displayed can be specified based on the currently displayed screen and indirect instructions such as screen up/down and page up/down. Then, in processes a2 and a3 shown in FIG. 1, the table 10 is searched and the next screen number is sent out. That is, in process a, indirect instruction manual m (information m in table 10) is performed, in process a2, table 10 is searched considering the current screen n (information n in table 10), and in process a3, the next screen is Make it visible.

[Effect]

The table 10 holds information in the following format. That is, it collectively shows whether calls can be made using screen up/down or page up/down among a plurality of screens to be displayed. For example, in the illustrated table 10, the screen number (n
) is "3" and the screen down is instructed, the next screen will be the screen number "6" as shown by the dotted line in the table 10.

As described above, in the present invention, the currently displayed screen,
By having a matrix with the next screen by indirect instruction in the table 10, the number of program steps for searching for the next screen to be displayed is reduced, and the expression on the list is also simplified because it is a table.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a screen hierarchy corresponding to the contents of the screen hierarchy management table shown in FIG.

The illustrated screen numbers "2", "3", and "4" are, for example, internal system diagrams, respectively, and the screen numbers "5", "6", and "7" are internal diagrams showing details of each of the above system diagrams, respectively. It represents. Also, the screen numbered "1" represents the overall system configuration diagram.

As shown in Figure 2, the hierarchical screen (screen number "1")
to "7") exists, then it becomes 1
Decide which screen should be displayed next by instructing screen 7 down/down or page up/down from one screen, and display the result as shown in figure 1 (marked with an arrow). Illustrated screen hierarchy management table 10
I try to keep it together.

FIG. 3 shows an example to which the hierarchical management processing method according to the present invention is applied, and FIG. 4 shows a display example.

Although the present invention is not limited to the application example described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, it is assumed that the application example shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is applicable.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 10 is the same screen hierarchy management table as shown in FIG. 1, 21 is a central monitoring processing system, and 2
2A, . Displays stored screen information.

During processing, the screen hierarchy management table 10 is
7 and is used. The central monitoring processing system 21 has a system configuration diagram of the entire system including itself (the diagram with the screen number "1" shown in the diagram), an internal system diagram of the terminal station 22A, etc. (the diagram with the screen number "2" in the diagram, etc.). . . are stored on the memory 28 as screen information 29. Then, when the operator instructs a screen search via the input unit 25 and inputs the indirect command force m as shown in the process a1 shown in FIG.
The diagram processing section 27 determines the next screen number to be displayed based on the screen hierarchy management table 10, loads the desired screen information from the memory 28, and outputs it on the display via the output section 26. .

In the case of the example shown in FIG. 4, the screen information of screen number "1" holds a system configuration diagram 31 of the entire system as shown in FIG. In addition, the screen information of screen number "2" holds the internal system diagram of the terminal station 22A shown in Fig. 3.
・There is.

By appropriately inputting indirect instructions, the operator can
It is easy to display the next screen in relation to the current display screen, and you can freely switch between screens to check everything from understanding the overall system configuration to understanding individual details. becomes possible.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the number of steps required for processing judgment is reduced, and by creating a table of screen numbers and types of indirect instructions, the program can be shortened and streamlined. can be achieved.
