JPS6340929A - Button operation sequence managing system for console or the like - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify the sequence management of a button operation by constituting the titled system by providing a key map, and also, providing a sequence check table, a keyboard input means, a key map extracting means, and a key map number designating means. CONSTITUTION:An information code is inputted by depressing a button of a keyboard input means 2 being on a console. The code obtained at this point generally consists of an arbitrary shape, and the obtained code is converted to the serial number concerned. A key map extracting means 2 extracts a key map 11 from a sequence check table 1. Subsequently, a next map number designating 4 checks a value corresponding to the button concerned from in the map 11, and decides whether the operation can be executed or not. When the operation can be executed, a prescribed processing allocated to the button concerned is executed, and the next key map number is set. When the operation cannot be executed, a guide of an operation mistake is displayed on a display. In such a way, the sequence management of a button operation can be simplified.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a button operation order management system for a device/seven stem having a control console housing buttons for controlling operations.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of button operation order management, when the operation order is unique and simple, a method is known that locks the buttons so that they cannot be operated by software. On the other hand, when processing with software, there is a known method of logically checking whether or not the button meets the conditions for acceptance in the input button processing program.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional button operation order management method described above has the following first to eighth drawbacks because the validity of the order is logically defined.

First, since the validity of the order of input capotains generally differs depending on the individual buttons, it is necessary to check the validity of the order for each button for each button processing program.

Second, when a button is added, a change in logic occurs.

Eighth, when the operation order is changed, it is necessary to change all the logic of order validity of related buttons.

The purpose of the present invention is to enable/disable each button under all circumstances.
It has impossibility information (=?-map) as a table (sequence check table), and when a button is operated,
By searching the table for information on the key map number set at the end of the previous button operation and determining whether or not the button operation is possible, the above drawbacks can be eliminated and order validity can be easily managed. An object of the present invention is to provide a button operation order management method for a control console, etc., configured as described above.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The button operation order management method for a control console, etc. according to the present invention includes a sequence check table, a keyboard/input means,
The present invention includes key map extracting means and next key map number specifying means.

The sequence check table is provided with a key map and is used to define the order of operation control by representing the correspondence between key map numbers and button numbers.

The keyboard input means is located on the control desk and is used to input a specified control code.

The keymap storage means is for extracting a keymap number stored in the keymap corresponding to a designated control code from the 7-key check table.

The next key map number designating means is for checking the value corresponding to the extracted key map number and, if the next key map number can be operated, defining the next key map number as being operable.

(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the button operation order management method for a control console or the like according to the present invention.

In Figure 1, l is a sequence check table, ]

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a flow for realizing the button operation order management method for a control console, etc. according to the present invention.

In FIG. 2, in step 2, an information code is input by pressing a button from the control console. As of now, the code obtained by pressing the button is generally of arbitrary shape. In step 2, the code obtained in step 1 is converted into a corresponding serial number. In step 3, the keymap number of the keymap (abbreviated as KMP in Figure 2) that was set when the code was input and processed is extracted from the storage field, and the keymap number of the keymap (abbreviated as KMP in Figure 2) is extracted from the storage field. Sequence table (SCT in Figure 8)
It is abbreviated as ) to extract the corresponding keymap. Therefore, the value corresponding to the button in the key map is checked to determine whether or not the button can be operated.

In this embodiment, the operation is possible when the above value is tII. If the operation is possible, the predetermined process assigned to the button is performed in step 6, and the next keymap number is set in the storage field in step 5 according to the processing status. If it is determined in step S that the operation is impossible, a guide for operation errors is displayed on the display in step 8.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the present invention manages the order of button operations using the FL sequence check table.
Since it can be checked in a common/unified manner, there is no need to logically determine the operable conditions for each button as in the past.

For this reason, there is an effect that programming can be done without knowing the operable conditions in processing each button.

Furthermore, when changing the order of operations, there is an advantage that there is no need to change the logic, just by changing the contents of the home map.
