Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for displaying a data window on a display device of a data processing device, in which the following steps are carried out: a first data window is displayed on the display device; a second data window is opened on the display device, wherein the second data window at least partially covers the first data window.
  • the invention also relates to a computer program product and a data processing device with a display device.
  • Window-based representation here means that a separate data window is reserved for each program or part of a program and the data windows are displayed one above the other or next to one another on the display device
  • Window-based display is, for example, provided by the operating system
  • a Windows-based display of programs or program parts is also used in data processing equipment, for example, in control centers of automated processes such as chemical or process engineering processes or in network control centers of electrical energy supply networks
  • some data windows may provide a graphical overview of the auto- while other data windows display error and event messages indicating the state of the power grid. Just such event and error messages are extremely important information for the operator in the network control center, which should have the operator as fully as possible in view.
  • the invention has for its object to make the monitoring and control of operations using programs displayed in window-based display safer.
  • a method of the abovementioned type is proposed according to the invention, in which the second data window is displayed transparently at least in those partial areas with which it covers the first data window. Due to the at least partially transparent representation of the second data window, the viewer of the display device can have both the content of the first and the second data window in view. A complete covering of security-relevant information displayed in the first data window by the second data window is therefore prevented in a secure manner.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the inventive method provides that the degree of transparency of the second data window depending on a position of a positionable by means of an input device of the data processing device pointer is selected such that when positioned on the first data window pointer the second data window is displayed transparently and is not displayed transparently in the case of a pointer positioned on the second data window.
  • the viewer of the display device has the ability to both the second data window, so for example a pop-up window to look closer, as well as to be able to view the information on the first data window. For this purpose, he must, for example, merely navigate a mouse pointer on the display device in such a way that it is positioned either on the first or second data window.
  • the first data window is displayed transparently even if the pointer has been positioned on this data window for the first time. In this way, it is excluded that in the event that the pointer is accidentally positioned at the time on the second data window to which it is opened, this would automatically render the second data window non-transparent and thus the information to a data window located behind it could not be seen.
  • the position of the pointer initially does not matter; only if the user first positions the pointer on the first data window and then moves back to the second data window, this second data window is not displayed transparently.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention also provides that upon actuation of a predetermined switching element of the data processing device, the degree of transparency of the second data window is changed.
  • the degree of transparency of the second data window can be changed in accordance with the observer's preference.
  • the above-mentioned object is also achieved by a corresponding computer program product for carrying out the method according to one of the claims 1 to 4.
  • the above-mentioned object is also achieved by a data processing device having a display device on which a first and a second data window are displayed, wherein the second data window at least partially covers the first data window and wherein the second data window is transparent at least in those partial areas with which it covers the first data window.

  • the second data window may be a so-called pop-up window which has been opened automatically by the data processing device in order to communicate information to the user of the data processing device.

In this way, it can be prevented that, in the event that the pointer 9 is accidentally positioned on the second data window 7a when it is opened, a non-transparent second data window 7a causes the information displayed on the first data window 2a to be automatically masked. In the event that the pointer 9 is already positioned on the latter when the second data window 7a is opened, the second data window 7a will initially also be displayed transparently.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour afficher une fenêtre de données sur une unité d'affichage (1a) d'un dispositif de traitement de données. Selon ce procédé, une première fenêtre de données (2a) est affichée sur l'unité d'affichage (1a), puis une seconde fenêtre de données (7a) est ouverte sur l'unité d'affichage (1a), cette seconde fenêtre de données (7a) recouvrant au moins partiellement la première fenêtre de données (2a). L'invention concerne en outre un produit programme informatique et un dispositif de traitement de données pourvu d'une unité d'affichage. D'après le procédé selon l'invention, pour que les processus puissent être contrôlés et régulés avec une plus grande fiabilité au moyen de programmes représentés sur un affichage à base de fenêtres, la seconde fenêtre de données (7a) est représentée en transparence au moins au niveau des parties qui recouvrent la première fenêtre de données (2a).
