Description

画面構成装置、画面構成方法およびナビゲーションシステムScreen composition device, screen composition method, and navigation system
　この発明は、グラフィカルユーザインタフェース（ＧＵＩ）画面を構成する技術に関するものである。 This invention relates to a technique for configuring a graphical user interface (GUI) screen.
　近年、グラフィカルユーザインタフェース（ＧＵＩ）画面を構築する場合に、ＧＵＩ画面上に配置するソフトウェア部品（ＧＵＩ部品）の機能部と外観部とを分ける方法が採用されている。ＧＵＩ部品の機能部と外観部とを分けて構築することにより、外観部のみの変更で、デザイナが望む外観を持つＧＵＩ画面を構築することが可能になる。
　機能部としては、ラベル、ボタン、リストなどＧＵＩ画面を構成するために基本的な要素、すなわち部品として定義され、内部には論理的な機能を保持する領域である。ここで、論理的な機能とは、直接的にＧＵＩ画面の外観を変更するものではなく、各ＧＵＩ部品が備える機能である。ＧＵＩ部品がボタンの場合を例に挙げて説明すると、マウスでボタンを押下する操作が行われた場合には、ボタンの内部状態を押下状態に変更し、ボタン押下を示すイベントを通知する機能である。また、外観部は各機能部の外観を示すデータを保持する領域である。例えば、ＧＵＩ部品がボタンの場合、外観部は文字列を配置するためのラベルやボタンの背景画像を保持する。 In recent years, when a graphical user interface (GUI) screen is constructed, a method of separating a functional part and an appearance part of a software component (GUI part) arranged on the GUI screen has been adopted. By separately constructing the functional part and the appearance part of the GUI component, it is possible to construct a GUI screen having an appearance desired by the designer by changing only the appearance part.
The function unit is an area that is defined as a basic element, that is, a component, such as a label, a button, or a list, and that holds a logical function. Here, the logical function is a function that each GUI component does not directly change the appearance of the GUI screen. A case where the GUI component is a button will be described as an example. When an operation of pressing a button with a mouse is performed, a function of changing the internal state of the button to a pressed state and notifying an event indicating the button is pressed. is there. The appearance part is an area for holding data indicating the appearance of each function part. For example, when the GUI component is a button, the appearance portion holds a label for arranging a character string and a background image of the button.
　例えば、特許文献１に開示されたユーザインタフェースの外観切替装置では、アプリケーションが持つＧＵＩ部品本体部（機能部に相当）に対して描画処理を変更するように要求を出力し、要求を受け付けたＧＵＩ部品本体部は指定された新しい描画処理ＩＤを元に描画処理部（外観部に相当）を再生成し、描画処理部が持つ描画処理で描画内容を変更させる、すなわち外観切り替えを実現する。 For example, in the user interface appearance switching device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a request is output to change the drawing processing to a GUI component main body (corresponding to a function unit) of an application, and the GUI that has received the request is received. The component main body regenerates the drawing processing unit (corresponding to the appearance unit) based on the specified new drawing processing ID, and changes the drawing content by the drawing process of the drawing processing unit, that is, realizes appearance switching.
　また、特許文献２に開示された画面データ生成装置は、外観部として、アプリケーション内の各画面が保持する画面定義情報と、各部品が保持する外観定義情報と、さらに各部品の配置を示す配置定義情報とを保持し、例えば各部品の外観を全体的に変更したい場合には、外観定義情報を変更することにより、画面定義情報を変更することなく、全ての画面の外観を変更することを可能にしている。 In addition, the screen data generation device disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes, as an appearance portion, screen definition information held by each screen in the application, appearance definition information held by each component, and an arrangement indicating the arrangement of each component For example, if you want to change the overall appearance of each part, you can change the appearance of all screens without changing the screen definition information by changing the appearance definition information. It is possible.

　しかしながら、上述した特許文献１，２に開示された技術では、例えば画面が多く、機能としては同一であるＧＵＩ部品であっても、画面で表示すべき情報の数が異なる場合、例えば、ナビゲーションシステムにおいて、単に文字列のみを表示するボタン、施設検索において施設画像と施設名称を表示するボタン、周辺施設検索において施設画像、施設名称、方向、距離を表示するボタンなど、複数の情報を表示する場合、機能部を拡張して外観部で表示すべきデータを表示する、あるいは外観部からアプリケーションにアクセスし、必要となるデータを取得して表示するかのいずれかを行う必要があった。そのため、ＧＵＩ部品の外観に依存して機能部の拡張が必要となる、または１つの文字列のみを表示するボタンであった場合にも、それぞれの外観データを作成する必要があるという課題があった。 However, in the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 described above, for example, even if the GUI parts have many screens and the same functions, the number of pieces of information to be displayed on the screens is different. When displaying multiple information, such as a button that displays only the character string, a button that displays the facility image and facility name in the facility search, and a button that displays the facility image, facility name, direction, and distance in the facility search It has been necessary to expand the function part to display data to be displayed in the appearance part, or to access an application from the appearance part to acquire and display necessary data. Therefore, depending on the appearance of the GUI component, there is a problem that the function part needs to be expanded, or even when it is a button that displays only one character string, it is necessary to create each appearance data. It was.
　この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、機能部の拡張を行うことなく、さらに各ＧＵＩ部品の外観部をそれぞれ作成することなく、ＧＵＩ部品の種々の表示バリエーションに対応することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can be used for various display variations of GUI parts without expanding the function part and without creating the appearance part of each GUI part. The purpose is to respond.
　この発明に係る画面構成装置は、アプリケーションに対応したＧＵＩ画面を構成するＧＵＩ部品によるアプリケーションの機能の実行を定義した機能定義データを参照し、前記ＧＵＩ部品に対して前記アプリケーションを実行するための機能を定義した機能部を構成する機能定義部と、前記ＧＵＩ部品の外観上の表示状態を定義した外観表示定義データを参照し、前記機能定義部が定義した前記ＧＵＩ部品の機能に対応した外観上の表示状態を定義した外観表示部を構成する外観表示定義部と、前記ＧＵＩ部品の表示情報と、前記ＧＵＩ部品が前記アプリケーションを実行させるための機能とを対応付けて定義した外観機能定義データを参照し、前記ＧＵＩ部品の表示情報と、前記ＧＵＩ部品が前記アプリケーションを実行するための機能とを定義した外観機能情報部を構成する外観機能定義部とを有し、構成された前記機能部、前記外観表示部および前記外観機能情報部により前記ＧＵＩ部品を作成するＧＵＩ部品作成部とを備えるものである。 The screen composition device according to the present invention refers to function definition data defining execution of an application function by a GUI component that constitutes a GUI screen corresponding to the application, and a function for executing the application on the GUI component The function definition part that constitutes the function part that defines the function and the appearance display definition data that defines the display state on the appearance of the GUI part, and the appearance corresponding to the function of the GUI part defined by the function definition part Appearance function definition data that defines an appearance display definition section that defines an appearance display section that defines the display state of the display, the display information of the GUI component, and the function for causing the GUI component to execute the application.

　この発明によれば、ＧＵＩ部品の機能部を拡張することなく、ＧＵＩ部品の種々の表示バリエーションに容易に対応させることができる。 According to the present invention, it is possible to easily cope with various display variations of GUI parts without expanding the function part of the GUI parts.

The input unit 1 accepts an input signal input via an external input device such as a mouse or a keyboard. The application control unit 2 controls the operation of the application based on the input signal input from the input unit 1. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a new screen transition is necessary based on the input signal and data stored in the storage area 5 described later. If a new screen transition is necessary, a new GUI screen is created. Output instructions.
　ＧＵＩ部品作成部３は、アプリケーション制御部２から入力された新規ＧＵＩ画面作成指示に基づいて、ＧＵＩ部品定義データ蓄積部４を参照し、表示画面を構成する各ＧＵＩ部品を作成する。ＧＵＩ部品作成部３は、ＧＵＩ機能定義部３１、外観機能定義部３２および外観表示定義部３３で構成されている。ＧＵＩ部品作成部３の各構成の詳細については後述する。 The GUI component creation unit 3 refers to the GUI component definition data storage unit 4 based on the new GUI screen creation instruction input from the application control unit 2, and creates each GUI component that constitutes the display screen.

For example, when the GUI component is a button, a character string arranged on the button, a file path of an icon, and the like correspond. The appearance function definition data 42 is information for holding information to be displayed even when the appearance of the GUI component changes. The appearance display definition data 43 is data defining a display state on the appearance corresponding to the function of the GUI component. Based on the appearance display definition data 43, display information to be displayed on a screen (not shown) is determined. The appearance display definition data 43 is, for example, a character string label or an image of an icon image.

　画面上に、図５に示したアプリケーション画面６００が表示されている場合に、図６に示すアプリケーションデータが対応付けられている。すなわち、ＧＵＩ部品作成部３は、図５に示すアプリケーション画面を表示するために、図６に示すアプリケーションデータが記述されたＧＵＩ部品を作成する。なお、図６のアプリケーションデータは、ＧＵＩ部品作成部３のＧＵＩ機能定義部３１がＧＵＩ部品定義データ蓄積部４に蓄積された機能定義データ４１を参照して作成する。
　表示要素＜Ｌｉｓｔ　ｉｄ＝”６４０”＞は、ｉｄ＝”６４０”として指定されているＬｉｓｔ部品内で表示するリスト要素（ＬｉｓｔＩｔｅｍ）として、Ｂｕｔｔｏｎが指定されことを示している。これは、各リスト要素がＢｕｔｔｏｎで実現されることを意味している。 When the application screen 600 shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the screen, the application data shown in FIG. 6 is associated. That is, the GUI part creation unit 3 creates a GUI part in which application data shown in FIG. 6 is described in order to display the application screen shown in FIG. The application data shown in FIG. 6 is created by the GUI function definition unit 31 of the GUI part creation unit 3 with reference to the function definition data 41 stored in the GUI part definition data storage unit 4.
The display element <List id = “640”> indicates that Button is specified as a list element (ListItem) to be displayed in the List component specified as id = “640”. This means that each list element is realized by Button.
　さらに、＜Ｂｕｔｔｏｎ　ｉｄ＝”６２０”＞および＜Ｂｕｔｔｏｎ　ｉｄ＝”６３０”＞は、指定したＢｕｔｔｏｎにそれぞれｂｕｔｔｏｎＤｏｗｎプロパティが存在するが、ここでは該当Ｂｕｔｔｏｎクラスが押下された場合に発行されるイベントのイベントハンドラが記載されている。そのため、ｉｄ＝”６２０”では施設検索をするためのＳｅａｒｃｈＦｕｎｃ（）が指定され、ｉｄ＝”６３０”にはアプリケーション終了を示すｃｌｏｓｅＦｕｎｃ（）が指定されている。 Furthermore, <Button id = “620”> and <Button id = “630”> each have a buttonDown property in the specified Button, but here is an event that is issued when the corresponding Button class is pressed The handler is listed. For this reason, SearchFunc () for facility search is specified with id = “620”, and closeFunc () indicating the end of the application is specified with id = “630”.
　また、ＧＵＩ部品の表示要素にはｓｋｉｎＣｌａｓｓとｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏプロパティが存在する。ｓｋｉｎＣｌａｓｓプロパティには外観表示部４０３を示すデータ、ｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏプロパティには外観機能情報部４０２を示すデータが指定される。ｉｄ＝”６１０”の「ＴｅｘｔＢｏｘ」と、リスト内の「Ｂｕｔｔｏｎ」には、外観機能定義データであるｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏプロパティが指定されていない。これは、テキストボックス６１０およびボタン６２０，６３０へのユーザ入力により、ｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏプロパティが動的に変化するためである。 In addition, skinClass and skinInfo properties exist in the display element of the GUI component. Data indicating the appearance display unit 403 is specified in the skinClass property, and data indicating the appearance function information unit 402 is specified in the skinInfo property. In “TextBox” with id = “610” and “Button” in the list, the skinInfo property that is appearance function definition data is not specified. This is because the skinInfo property is dynamically changed by user input to the text box 610 and the buttons 620 and 630.
　図６で示したボタンの外観表示定義データを示すＢｕｔｔｏｎＳｋｉｎのデータの一例を図７に示す。図７のＢｕｔｔｏｎＳｋｉｎのデータは、図５で示したアプリケーション画面６００におけるボタン６５０のデータを示している。
　ＢｕｔｔｏｎＳｋｉｎは、ボタンの背景画像を表示するための「Ｉｍａｇｅ部品」を配置し、その上に部品を水平に配置するためのグループを示す「ＨｏｒｉｚｏｎｔａｌＧｒｏｕｐ部品」を配置し、水平配置のグループ内にアイコン画像用の「Ｉｍａｇｅ部品」、文字列表示用の「Ｌａｂｅｌ部品」、残距離表示用の「Ｌａｂｅｌ部品」を配置している。 An example of ButtonSkin data indicating the appearance display definition data of the button shown in FIG. 6 is shown in FIG. The Button Skin data in FIG. 7 indicates the data of the button 650 on the application screen 600 shown in FIG.
ButtonSkin arranges an “Image component” for displaying a background image of a button, arranges a “Horizontal Group component” indicating a group for arranging components horizontally thereon, and displays an icon image in the group of the horizontal arrangement. "Image parts" for displaying, "Label parts" for displaying character strings, and "Label parts" for displaying remaining distances are arranged.
　上述した「Ｉｍａｇｅ部品」および２つの「Ｌａｂｅｌ部品」は、データでは上から下に配置されているが、「ＨｏｒｉｚｏｎｔａｌＧｒｏｕｐ部品」内の要素であることから、図５の施設アイコン６５０ａ、施設名称６５０ｂおよび距離６５０ｃに示すように画面の左から右の順に水平に配置される。また、ボタンの背景画像を表示するための「Ｉｍａｇｅ部品」では、画像ファイルパスとしてｓｏｕｒｃｅプロパティに画像ファイル（図７の例では、ｎｏｒｍａｌＢａｃｋｇｒｏｕｄＩｍａｇｅ．ｐｎｇおよびｐｒｅｓｓＢａｃｋｇｒｏｕｎｄＩｍａｇｅ．ｐｎｇ）が指定されている。ここで、「ｓｏｕｒｃｅ．ｎｏｒｍａｌ」と「ｓｏｕｒｃｅ．ｐｒｅｓｓ」は、それぞれＢｕｔｔｏｎ部品が非押下状態であるか、あるいは押下状態であるによって画像ファイルパスを切り替ることを示している。 The “Image part” and the two “Label parts” described above are arranged from the top to the bottom in the data, but are elements in the “Horizontal Group part”. Therefore, the facility icon 650a, the facility name 650b, and the like in FIG. As shown by a distance 650c, the screens are arranged horizontally from left to right on the screen. In the “Image component” for displaying the background image of the button, an image file (in the example of FIG. 7, normalBackgroundImage.png and pressBackgroundImage.png) is specified as a source property as an image file path. Here, "source.normal" and "source.press" indicate that the image file path is switched depending on whether the Button component is in a non-pressed state or in a pressed state, respectively.
　一方、アイコン画像表示用のＩｍａｇｅクラスでは、ｓｏｕｒｃｅプロパティとしてｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏ．ｉｃｏｎＳｏｕｒｃｅが指定される。これは、外観機能情報部４０２として設定されたデータｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏ内のｉｃｏｎＳｏｕｒｃｅプロパティを参照していることを示す。同様に、２つのＬａｂｅｌ部品の文字列を指定するｔｅｘｔプロパティにも、ｓｋｉｎＩｎｆｏ内に定義されたｔｅｘｔ１プロパティ、ｔｅｘｔ２プロパティを参照して取得する構成としている。このように、外観表示部４０３が外観機能情報部４０２を参照することができ、表示として必要な情報を外観機能情報部４０２から取得することが可能である。一方、単にボタンの外観として必要な背景画像などは外観機能情報部４０２から取得せず、外観表示部４０３から直接取得するように指定することできる。このように、ＧＵＩ部品４００が機能部４０１および外観表示部４０３に加え、外観機能情報部４０２を備えることにより、機能部４０１に対応した外観上の表示状態と、アプリケーションの機能として表示する情報とを識別することができる。 On the other hand, in the Image class for icon image display, skinInfo. iconSource is specified. This indicates that the iconSource property in the data skinInfo set as the appearance function information unit 402 is referred to. Similarly, the text property that designates the character strings of the two Label parts is obtained by referring to the text1 property and the text2 property defined in the skinInfo. As described above, the appearance display unit 403 can refer to the appearance function information unit 402, and information necessary for display can be acquired from the appearance function information unit 402. On the other hand, it is possible to specify that a background image or the like necessary simply for the appearance of a button is not acquired from the appearance function information unit 402 but is acquired directly from the appearance display unit 403. As described above, the GUI component 400 includes the appearance function information unit 402 in addition to the function unit 401 and the appearance display unit 403, so that the display state on the appearance corresponding to the function unit 401, the information displayed as the function of the application, and the like. Can be identified.
　図８Ａ，図８Ｂ，図８Ｃおよび図８Ｄは、実施の形態１に係る画面構成装置が作成するＧＵＩ部品４００の外観機能情報部４０２のデータの構成例を示している。

　各外観機能情報部４０２は、図７に示したＢｕｔｔｏｎＳｋｉｎのデータにおいて参照されるｔｅｘｔ１、ｔｅｘｔ２、ｉｃｏｎＳｏｕｒｃｅプロパティを有し、各プロパティで表示すべきデータが設定されている。 8A, FIG. 8B, FIG. 8C, and FIG. 8D show a data configuration example of the appearance function information unit 402 of the GUI component 400 created by the screen configuration device according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 8A shows data constituting the appearance function information unit 402 for the button 620 in FIG.

FIG. 8D shows data constituting the appearance function information unit 402 for the second list element 640b in the list 640 in FIG.
Each appearance function information unit 402 has text1, text2, and iconSource properties referred to in the ButtonSkin data shown in FIG. 7, and data to be displayed in each property is set.
　次に、画面構成装置１００の動作について図９のフローチャートを参照しながら説明する。
　図９は、実施の形態１に係る画面構成装置１００の動作を示すフローチャートである。なお、以下の説明では、図６から図８に示したデータを用いて、画面上に図５で示したアプリケーション画面を表示する場合の動作を例に説明する。
　画面構成装置１００は、起動後にステップＳＴ１の処理に進む。入力部１が操作入力を受け付けると（ステップＳＴ１）、アプリケーション制御部２はステップＳＴ１で受け付けた操作入力と、格納領域５に格納された現在画面表示しているＧＵＩ部品の定義データとを参照し、当該操作入力に基づく処理を行う場合に画面遷移が発生するか否か判定を行う（ステップＳＴ２）。画面遷移が発生しない場合（ステップＳＴ２；ＮＯ）、ステップＳＴ１の処理に戻り、上述した処理を繰り返す。 Next, the operation of the screen composition device 100 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the screen composition device 100 according to the first embodiment. In the following description, an operation when the application screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the screen using the data shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 will be described as an example.
The screen composition device 100 proceeds to the processing of step ST1 after activation. When the input unit 1 accepts the operation input (step ST1), the application control unit 2 refers to the operation input accepted in step ST1 and the definition data of the GUI part currently displayed on the screen stored in the storage area 5. Then, it is determined whether or not screen transition occurs when processing based on the operation input is performed (step ST2). When screen transition does not occur (step ST2; NO), the process returns to step ST1 and the above-described process is repeated.
　一方、画面遷移が発生する場合（ステップＳＴ２；ＹＥＳ）、ＧＵＩ部品作成部３は、ＧＵＩ部品定義データ蓄積部４に蓄積された各定義データを参照してＧＵＩ部品を作成する（ステップＳＴ３）。作成したＧＵＩ部品は表示制御部６に出力すると共に、格納領域５に格納する。表示制御部６は、ステップＳＴ３で作成されたＧＵＩ部品を画面表示するための表示制御を行い（ステップＳＴ４）、処理を終了する。 On the other hand, when a screen transition occurs (step ST2; YES), the GUI part creation unit 3 creates a GUI part with reference to each definition data stored in the GUI part definition data storage unit 4 (step ST3). The created GUI component is output to the display control unit 6 and stored in the storage area 5. The display control unit 6 performs display control for displaying the GUI component created in step ST3 on the screen (step ST4), and ends the process.
　次に、上述した図９のフローチャートのステップＳＴ３およびステップＳＴ４の処理の詳細について、図１０のフローチャートを参照しながら説明する。
　図１０は、実施の形態１に係る画面構成装置１００のＧＵＩ部品作成部３および表示制御部６の動作を示すフローチャートである。
　ＧＵＩ部品作成部３のＧＵＩ機能定義部３１は、ＧＵＩ部品定義データ蓄積部４に蓄積された機能定義データを走査し、遷移先の画面のＧＵＩ部品４００の機能部４０１を（例えば図６参照）作成する（ステップＳＴ１１）。外観機能定義部３２および外観表示定義部３３は、ＧＵＩ部品定義データ蓄積部４を参照し、ステップＳＴ１１で作成したＧＵＩ部品４００の機能定義データ４１に対応付けられた外観機能定義データ４２（例えば図８参照）および外観表示定義データ４３に基づき、外観機能情報部４０２（例えば図８参照）および外観表示部４０３（例えば図７参照）を設定する（ステップＳＴ１２）。外観機能定義部３２は、ステップＳＴ１２で設定した外観機能情報部４０２を外観表示部４０３に設定する（ステップＳＴ１３）。ステップＳＴ１３の処理により、外観表示定義部３３は、データ内で指定されたＳｋｉｎＩｎｆｏのデータにアクセス可能となる。 Next, details of the processing of step ST3 and step ST4 of the flowchart of FIG. 9 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing operations of the GUI part creation unit 3 and the display control unit 6 of the screen composition device 100 according to the first embodiment.
The GUI function definition unit 31 of the GUI component creation unit 3 scans the function definition data stored in the GUI component definition data storage unit 4, and the function unit 401 of the GUI component 400 on the transition destination screen (see, for example, FIG. 6). Create (step ST11). The appearance function definition unit 32 and the appearance display definition unit 33 refer to the GUI part definition data storage unit 4, and the appearance function definition data 42 (for example, the figure) associated with the function definition data 41 of the GUI part 400 created in step ST11. 8) and the appearance display information 403 (see, for example, FIG. 8) and the appearance display unit 403 (see, for example, FIG. 7) are set (step ST12). The appearance function definition unit 32 sets the appearance function information unit 402 set in step ST12 in the appearance display unit 403 (step ST13). By the processing in step ST13, the appearance display definition unit 33 can access the data of SkinInfo specified in the data.
　外観表示定義部３３は、ステップＳＴ１３で外観機能情報部４０２が設定された外観表示部４０３に指定されているＧＵＩ部品を走査する（ステップＳＴ１４）。ここで、ステップＳＴ１４におけるＧＵＩ部品の走査とは、外観表示部４０３のデータ内のＧＵＩ部品を１つずつスキャンする処理を示す。すなわち図７で示したデータにおけるＩｍａｇｅおよびＨｏｒｉｚｏｎｔａｌＧｒｏｕｐなどを１つずつスキャンする。外観表示定義部３３は、ステップＳＴ１４のＧＵＩ部品の走査により、どのようなＧＵＩ部品であるかを示す情報と、当該ＧＵＩ部品に設定されたパラメータを取得する（ステップＳＴ１５）。どのようなＧＵＩ部品であるかを示す情報とは、上述したＩｍａｇｅ、ＨｏｒｉｚｏｎｔａｌＧｒｏｕｐなどである。また、設定されたパラメータとは、例えば図８におけるＩｍａｇｅにおいて、ｓｏｕｒｃｅ．ｎｏｍａｌプロパティへの設定値である。 The appearance display definition unit 33 scans the GUI component specified in the appearance display unit 403 in which the appearance function information unit 402 is set in step ST13 (step ST14). Here, the scanning of the GUI parts in step ST14 indicates a process of scanning the GUI parts in the data of the appearance display unit 403 one by one. That is, the image, the horizontal group, and the like in the data shown in FIG. 7 are scanned one by one. The appearance display definition unit 33 acquires information indicating what kind of GUI component and parameters set in the GUI component by scanning the GUI component in step ST14 (step ST15). Information indicating what kind of GUI component is the above-described Image, Horizontal Group, or the like. Also, the set parameters are, for example, source. This is the setting value for the normal property.
　外観表示定義部３３は、ステップＳＴ１５で取得した情報およびパラメータに基づいて、ＧＵＩ部品の描画処理を行う（ステップＳＴ１６）。ＧＵＩ部品作成部３は、ステップＳＴ１１からステップＳＴ１６の処理により作成したＧＵＩ部品を表示制御部６に出力すると共に、格納領域５に格納する（ステップＳＴ１７）。表示制御部６は、ステップＳＴ１７で出力されたＧＵＩ部品に関する情報およびＧＵＩ部品に設定されたパラメータを参照し、アプリケーション画面として画面表示するための制御情報を生成する（ステップＳＴ１８）。表示制御部６は、ステップＳＴ１８で生成した制御情報を出力し（ステップＳＴ１９）、処理を終了する。 The appearance display definition unit 33 performs a GUI component drawing process based on the information and parameters acquired in step ST15 (step ST16). The GUI component creation unit 3 outputs the GUI component created by the processing from step ST11 to step ST16 to the display control unit 6 and stores it in the storage area 5 (step ST17). The display control unit 6 refers to the information related to the GUI component output in step ST17 and the parameters set in the GUI component, and generates control information for screen display as an application screen (step ST18). The display control unit 6 outputs the control information generated in step ST18 (step ST19), and ends the process.
　上述した図９および図１０のフローチャートに基づいてアプリケーション画面の表示制御を行うことにより、図１１および図１２に示す構成とすることが可能になる。
　図１１は、第１の画面５００ａ、第２の画面５００ｂおよび第３の画面５００ｃの表示制御を行う場合に、各ボタン部品４１０ａ，４１０ｂ，４１０ｃが機能部４１１ａ，４１１ｂ，４１１ｃ、外観機能情報部４１２ａ，４１２ｂ，４１２ｃおよび外観表示部４１３ａ，４１３ｂ，４１３ｃで構成されていることを示している。第１の画面５００ａ、第２の画面５００ｂおよび第３の画面５００ｃにおいて、機能部４１１と外観表示部４１３を構成するデータは全て同一であり、外観機能情報部４１２ａ，４１２ｂ，４１２ｃのみが異なる。このように、外観機能情報部４１２ａ，４１２ｂ，４１２ｃを変更するのみで３つのボタン部品４１０ａ，４１０ｂ，４１０ｃを作成することができる。 By performing display control of the application screen based on the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10 described above, the configuration shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 can be obtained.
FIG. 11 shows that when the display control of the first screen 500a, the second screen 500b, and the third screen 500c is performed, the button parts 410a, 410b, 410c are function units 411a, 411b, 411c, an appearance function information unit. 412a, 412b, 412c and appearance display units 413a, 413b, 413c. In the first screen 500a, the second screen 500b, and the third screen 500c, the data constituting the function unit 411 and the appearance display unit 413 are all the same, and only the appearance function information units 412a, 412b, and 412c are different. As described above, the three button parts 410a, 410b, and 410c can be created only by changing the appearance function information sections 412a, 412b, and 412c.
　従来では、異なるＧＵＩ部品の表示を行う場合には、機能部を拡張してそれぞれのＧＵＩ部品を実現する必要があった。しかし、上述した実施の形態１の画面構成装置１００によれば、外観機能情報部４０２を変更するのみで複数のＧＵＩ部品４００を実現することができ、開発範囲を限定することができる。 Conventionally, when displaying different GUI parts, it has been necessary to extend the functional unit to realize each GUI part. However, according to the screen configuration apparatus 100 of the first embodiment described above, a plurality of GUI parts 400 can be realized only by changing the appearance function information unit 402, and the development range can be limited.
　また、アプリケーション画面毎に異なるデータを表示する場合には、図１２に示すように外観機能情報部４１２ａ，４１２ｂ，４１２ｃにおける文字列を変更するのみで良い。よって、機能部４１１と、アプリケーションとして必要な表示情報である外観機能情報部４１２と、機能に対応した外観上の表示状態を定義した外観表示部４１３とにおいて、変更すべきデータを最小限に限定することができ、開発効率を上げることができる。 Further, when displaying different data for each application screen, it is only necessary to change the character strings in the appearance function information sections 412a, 412b, and 412c as shown in FIG. Therefore, the data to be changed is limited to the minimum in the function unit 411, the appearance function information unit 412 that is display information necessary for the application, and the appearance display unit 413 that defines the display state on the appearance corresponding to the function. Development efficiency.
　以上のように、この実施の形態１によれば、機能定義データ４１、外観機能定義データ４２および外観表示定義データ４３を参照して、機能部４０１、外観機能情報部４０２、外観表示部４０３で構成されるＧＵＩ部品４００を作成するＧＵＩ部品作成部３を備えるように構成したので、外観機能情報部４０２に定義した外観機能定義データの見直しのみで、異なるアプリケーション画面を表示することができる。定義データの修正範囲を最低限に限定することができ、アプリケーション画面の開発効率を向上させることができる。 As described above, according to the first embodiment, the function unit 401, the appearance function information unit 402, and the appearance display unit 403 refer to the function definition data 41, the appearance function definition data 42, and the appearance display definition data 43. Since the GUI component creation unit 3 for creating the configured GUI component 400 is provided, different application screens can be displayed only by reviewing the appearance function definition data defined in the appearance function information unit 402. The definition data correction range can be limited to the minimum, and the development efficiency of the application screen can be improved.
　また、上述した実施の形態１によれば、機能部４０１に外観機能情報部４０２および外観表示部を設定し、アプリケーションの実行において、外観表示部４０３が外観機能情報部４０２を参照する構成としたので、外観機能情報部４０２に定義した外観機能定義データのみの変更でボタンなどのＧＵＩ部品の表示バリエーションの変更に対応することができる。即ち、ボタンなどのＧＵＩ部品の表示バリエーションの変更が生じた場合にも、機能部における機能定義データの拡張を不要とし、さらに外観表示部において表示バリエーションの変更を行う必要がない。 Further, according to the first embodiment described above, the appearance function information unit 402 and the appearance display unit are set in the function unit 401, and the appearance display unit 403 refers to the appearance function information unit 402 when executing the application. Therefore, it is possible to cope with changes in display variations of GUI parts such as buttons by changing only the appearance function definition data defined in the appearance function information section 402. That is, even when a display variation of a GUI component such as a button is changed, the function definition data need not be expanded in the function section, and further, the display variation need not be changed in the appearance display section.
実施の形態２．
　上述した実施の形態１では、ＧＵＩ部品４００を機能部４０１、外観機能情報部４０２および外観表示部４０３の３つに分けて構成し、アプリケーション画面で使用する各ＧＵＩ部品の種々の表示バリエーションに対応する範囲を可能な限り限定する構成を示したが、この実施の形態２では外観表示部の設定をより簡易的に実現可能な構成を示す。 Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment described above, the GUI component 400 is divided into the function unit 401, the appearance function information unit 402, and the appearance display unit 403, and corresponds to various display variations of each GUI component used on the application screen. Although the configuration that limits the range to be performed as much as possible is shown, the second embodiment shows a configuration that can more easily realize the setting of the appearance display unit.
　図１３は、実施の形態２に係る画面構成装置１００ａの構成を示すブロック図である。
　実施の形態２に係る画面構成装置１００ａは、実施の形態１で示した画面構成装置１００にルール適用処理部３４および適用ルール蓄積部７を追加して設け、外観機能定義部３２に替えて外観機能定義部３２ａを設けて構成している。
　なお、以下では、実施の形態１に係る画面構成装置１００の構成要素と同一または相当する部分には、実施の形態１で使用した符号と同一の符号を付して説明を省略または簡略化する。 FIG. 13 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the screen configuration apparatus 100a according to the second embodiment.
The screen composition device 100a according to the second embodiment is provided by adding a rule application processing unit 34 and an application rule storage unit 7 to the screen composition device 100 shown in the first embodiment, and replacing the appearance function definition unit 32 with the appearance. A function definition unit 32a is provided.
In the following description, the same or corresponding parts as the components of the screen configuration apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment, and description thereof is omitted or simplified. .
　ルール適用処理部３４は、ＧＵＩ機能定義部３１が作成したＧＵＩ部品に適用すべきルールを適用ルール蓄積部７から取得し、外観機能定義部３２ａに適用する。外観機能定義部３２ａは、適用されたルールに従って、外観機能情報部のデータを外観表示部のデータに設定する。これにより、外観表示部に設定されるデータが簡素化される。適用ルール蓄積部７は、複数の適用ルールを蓄積する格納領域である。各適用ルールには「ｉｄ」が記載され、各ＧＵＩ部品にも同様の「ｉｄ」が割り当てられている。適用ルールには、ある「ｉｄ」を有するＧＵＩ部品に対して、設定すべきプロパティおよび設定すべきデータが示されている。 The rule application processing unit 34 acquires a rule to be applied to the GUI component created by the GUI function definition unit 31 from the application rule storage unit 7 and applies it to the appearance function definition unit 32a. The appearance function definition unit 32a sets the data of the appearance function information unit to the data of the appearance display unit according to the applied rule. Thereby, data set in the appearance display unit is simplified. The application rule storage unit 7 is a storage area for storing a plurality of application rules. Each application rule describes “id”, and the same “id” is assigned to each GUI component. The application rule indicates a property to be set and data to be set for a GUI component having a certain “id”.
　図１４は、実施の形態２に係る画面構成装置１００ａのＧＵＩ構成方式を示す図である。
　図１４では、アプリケーション３００が直接ＧＵＩ部品７００を保持する関係を示している。
　ＧＵＩ部品７００ａ，７００ｂ，７００ｃ（以下、ＧＵＩ部品７００と称する）は、例えば画面に表示されたボタンやリストなどである。当該ＧＵＩ部品７００は、機能部７０１、外観機能情報部７０２、機能情報ルール適用部７０３および外観表示部７０４で構成されている。ＧＵＩ部品７００を構成する各データは、上述したＧＵＩ部品作成部３によって、ＧＵＩ部品定義データ蓄積部４に蓄積された定義データ、および適用ルール蓄積部７に蓄積されたルールを参照して作成される。 FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a GUI configuration method of the screen configuration apparatus 100a according to the second embodiment.
FIG. 14 shows a relationship in which the application 300 directly holds the GUI component 700.
The GUI parts 700a, 700b, and 700c (hereinafter referred to as GUI parts 700) are, for example, buttons and lists displayed on the screen. The GUI component 700 includes a function unit 701, an appearance function information unit 702, a function information rule application unit 703, and an appearance display unit 704. Each data constituting the GUI component 700 is created by the above-described GUI component creation unit 3 with reference to the definition data accumulated in the GUI component definition data accumulation unit 4 and the rules accumulated in the application rule accumulation unit 7. The
　実施の形態１の図７で示したアプリケーションデータにおいて、ルール適用データを用いた場合のＢｕｔｔｏｎＳｋｉｎの外観機能情報部７０２のデータの構成例を図１５に示している。
　図７で示した実施の形態１による外観機能情報部４０２のデータの構成例と、図１５で示した実施の形態２による外観機能情報部７０２のデータ構成例とを比較すると、図１５の例では、例えばｉｄ＝ｉｃｏｎＩｍａｇｅのＩｍａｇｅＧＵＩ部品に対しては、外観機能情報部７０２内のｉｃｏｎＳｏｕｒｃｅに設定されている値をＳｏｕｒｃｅプロパティ（Ｉｍａｇｅ　ＧＵＩ部品の画像パスや画像のバイナリデータを設定するプロパティ）に設定するというルールが適用される。ここでは、設定するプロパティをｓｏｕｒｃｅプロパティのみの１つのみの場合を例に記載したが、複数のプロパティを１つのルール内に記述することも可能である。例えば、画像の幅を示すｗｉｄｔｈプロパティや高さを示すｈｅｉｇｈｔプロパティに対するルールも同時に記述することができる。 In the application data shown in FIG. 7 according to the first embodiment, FIG. 15 shows a data configuration example of the appearance function information unit 702 of ButtonSkin when rule application data is used.
