Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a display screen pattern processing device in a display device used as an input/output device for a computer or the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, screen changes such as blinking, reversing, and color changing of a cursor on a display are controlled by a clock owned by a computer or the like. However, when displaying various screens at arbitrary times and timings, one graphic screen is usually used, and with blinking, the area you want to display is filled in with the same color as the background color. Alternatively, there is a method of realizing this by repeating the operation of overwriting the display of that part at any desired time or timing. If you do this, when you fill in the top with the same color as the background, the information displayed in that area will appear to have disappeared, and the information that was previously written on top of it will appear to disappear. , it seems as if it has reappeared,
It is possible to display it as blinking.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional method of filling in the part to be blinked etc. with the background color and overwriting the same information, the area of the part to be blinked etc. This is largely related to the time it takes to overwrite, and when displaying a large area on the screen, it takes a considerable amount of time to rewrite. Also, because information is erased or written from a certain part of the processing area, the screen disappears in an instant,
It was impossible to display it.

In contrast, the present invention creates and registers screen display patterns in a plurality of screen memories in advance, and changes the display screen according to various display times and display orders for each screen.
To provide a screen pattern processing device which can provide a display that does not require filling or overwriting, does not take much time to change the screen, and does not give a sense of discomfort when changing the screen by processing the screen pattern.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the present invention, in processing a screen pattern of a display that displays a screen using signals read from a plurality of screen memories, display screen data is supplied from an input means. a display screen pattern creation section that reconstructs the screen pattern data and outputs the screen pattern data when the screen pattern data is supplied; a display screen pattern storage section that outputs the data to the storage and display means when the screen pattern data is supplied; a screen display time control section that outputs display time data in accordance with the actual display for each screen when display time data for performing various screen displays is supplied from the means; A screen display time storage unit that outputs data to the data storage and display means, and outputs display order data according to the actual display for each screen when display order data for performing various screen displays is supplied from the input means. a screen display order control unit that stores and outputs the data to the display means when the display order data is supplied, the display screen pattern creation unit, the screen display time control unit, and the screen display order. It is equipped with a control section that controls a control section and a display means, and is capable of creating, registering, and displaying screen patterns.

(Function) In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, display screen pattern information is created and registered in a plurality of screen memories in advance, and the display screen pattern information is By sequentially displaying the screen, there is no need to rewrite the screen every time, and a screen pattern that can change the display instantly can be generated.

The principle of the screen pattern processing device according to the present invention will be explained below using the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of the present invention. The present invention is broadly divided into a part for creating and registering screen patterns necessary for creating a display screen, and a part for displaying the registered screen patterns by specifying the display time and display order of the screen patterns. .

First, regarding the former screen pattern creation and registration, the data for screen creation input from the input device 1 through the input device control 2 is reconstructed as display screen data by the display screen pattern creation section 4, and the display screen pattern is stored. The information is stored by the unit 7 and can be displayed thereafter depending on the screen display time and display order.

Regarding the latter screen pattern display, the display time data for each screen pattern input from the input device 1 through the input device control 2 is set by the screen display time control section 5 and stored in the screen display time storage section 8. . In addition, data on the display order when there is a part where multiple screen patterns are operated on one screen is similarly inputted from the input device 1 through the input device control I/roll 2, and is inputted to the screen display order control section 6. The display unit 10 is configured to monitor the above-described screen pattern creation series and the generated screen pattern on the display device 11. The control section 3 controls the display screen pattern creation section 4, the screen display time control section 5, the screen display order control section 6, and the display section 10 in the process of -.

(Example) Hereinafter, the screen pattern processing device of the present invention will be described in further detail using an example. FIG. 3(a) shows the classification of screen pattern processing. Objects that make up the display screen pattern include characters, icons, figures, etc., and display forms include blinking, reverse, color conversion, etc. Also, FIG. 3(b).

Examples of each expression form are shown in (c) and <d). Figure 3 (b)
.

(c) and (d) schematically show blinking, reversing, and color changing, respectively.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the screen pattern processing device of the present invention. The central processing unit 22 is configured as shown in FIG.
Processing is performed according to the processing procedures shown in a) and (b), and in the processing, a screen pattern storage device 25 stores necessary screen patterns, and a screen display time storage device 25 stores the time for displaying the screen pattern. The device 26 has a screen display order storage device 27 for storing the order in which the screen patterns are displayed.

5(a) and <b> show the central processing unit 2 of FIG.
Flowchart 1 for screen pattern generation in 2.
Figure 5(a) shows the process for registering the necessary screen pattern, and Figure 5(b) shows the process of specifying the display time and display order data and the screen pattern decision based on the data. This is the process for specifying the display. The display time, display order, and corresponding screen pattern data are registered at a predetermined address in an internal storage device or an external storage device, and are quoted or updated.

Regarding the registration of the screen pattern, first, information for generating the screen pattern is specified in the screen pattern data specification 31 using the input device 21 in FIG. Next, based on this input data, the central processing unit takes into consideration the display pattern of the designated area where screen expression such as blinking or reverse is to be performed in the screen expression area specification 32, and specifies the number of images to be applied thereto. Then, if the screen setting consisting of the screen pattern group is acceptable, the central processing unit registers the screen pattern in the screen pattern registration designation 34 according to the registration designation from the input device 21 in FIG. It is stored in the storage device 25. If the screen settings made up of the displayed screen pattern group are not worthy of registration, processing starts from the designation of the screen expression location designation 32.

Regarding the designation of the screen pattern display time and display order data and the designation of the screen pattern determined thereby, first input the screen display time data in 1 from the input device 21 in FIG. 4 to the screen display time data designation. The display order of the screen patterns to be displayed is designated as time data, and the display order of the screen patterns to be displayed is designated as data in the screen display order designation 42 from the input device 21 in FIG. 4 in the same manner before and after the designated time. Based on such input data, the central processing unit performs a confirmation operation 43, and if it is ok, inputs the input device 21 shown in FIG.
The display time is registered and designated in the screen display time registration designation 44 according to the registration designation from , and is stored in the screen display time storage device 26 shown in FIG. Similarly, the screen display order registration designation 4 is performed by the registration designation from the input device 21 in FIG.
5, the display order is registered and designated and stored in the screen display order storage device 27 in FIG. If the displayed display time data and display order data are not worthy of registration,
Processing starts from designation of screen display time data designation 41. By doing this, the display time and screen order for each screen pattern are determined, and the display can be displayed on the display in the display control device 23 of FIG. 4.

FIG. 6 shows a flowchart for displaying a screen pattern in the display control device 23 of FIG. first,
Screen data is read from the screen pattern storage device 25 in FIG. 4 in screen pattern data reading 51, and written to the screen memory of the computer in screen memory allocation 52. By doing this, it is no longer necessary to call it from the external or internal storage device every time.

Next, time data is read in screen display time data reading 53 from the screen display time storage device 26 in FIG. 4, and sequence data is similarly read in screen display order reading 54 from the screen display order storage device 27 in FIG. .

Based on these data, a display control table creation 55 creates a table that integrates the three elements of screen, time, and order. If the settings for the screen, time, and order are acceptable, the screen pattern can be displayed on the display in the display designation 57 by designation from the input device 21 in FIG.

FIG. 7 shows the format of data created in the display control table creation 55 of FIG. 6. The table format includes the display order to be displayed on the display, the display screen data address corresponding to the display order, It is made up of the screen display time. Then, by defining the maximum value of the display order number and the number of cycles to display, with one cycle from display order number 1 to the last as variables,
It becomes possible to display a screen pattern according to the display control table.

This figure shows a display control table with designation of a screen pattern using blinking as an example, designation of screen display time and screen display order, and a display format on a display in the designated format. FIGS. 8(a), (b), and (c) are examples in which a blinking screen pattern is created using three or more screen memories, assuming that there are three or more screen memories. The entire screen information consists of 6 characters from A to F. FIG. 8(d) shows a display control table and each variable created by specifying the display time and display order of each screen for the screen patterns of FIG. 8(a), <b), and (c). It is. FIG. 8(e) shows each display element (A) in the screen pattern created according to the display control table of FIG. 8(d).
-F) is a temporal blinking transition diagram. In this way, various screen patterns can be created and displayed by specifying the number of screens, screen patterns, screen display time, screen display order, etc. In addition, since blinking is performed by switching the screen, the switching speed is fast, and the entire screen switches at the same time. No blinking display is possible.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention sets a screen pattern corresponding to a display screen, registers it in an internal or external storage device, and adjusts the screen pattern according to the display time and display order of each screen. It is possible to create and display a screen pattern that is independent of the area of the part that causes the change and that does not cause a sense of discomfort when changing the screen.
