Description

  The present invention relates to a display processing device and a display processing method.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are display processing devices that display an operation screen that can be operated by a user on a display device such as a computer or a digital copying machine. In order to improve the operability by the user, such display processing apparatuses are mainly provided with a so-called GUI (graphical user interface) function. According to this GUI function, a user can easily instruct the display processing device by operating a pointing device such as a touch panel, a mouse, or a trackball with respect to graphics displayed on the display device. .

  In some cases, the user performs an important instruction operation such as “delete data” or “send an e-mail” on a display processing apparatus having such a GUI function. In such a case, the display processing apparatus displays a confirmation dialog including two options such as “Do you want to send? (Yes) (No)”. In general, the display processing device causes the user to check whether there is an error in performing the instruction operation.

  Further, the prior art of Patent Document 1 is provided with a flag that is turned on when data is to be edited and turned off when the data is saved, and the above flag is referred to when data is erased. However, a technique is disclosed that issues a warning when this is on. Therefore, even if the user mistakenly instructs data erasure, if it is unregistered data, a warning is issued, so that it is possible to reduce accidental erasure of data.

JP-A-2-39365

  However, when the user becomes proficient in the instruction operation, the user may operate in a condition-reflective manner. In such a case, the warning is passed unconsciously. For this reason, the above-described prior art is not sufficient for reducing a user's instruction operation error. More specifically, when the display processing device displays a confirmation dialog asking “Do you want to execute the process? (Yes) (No)”, the user is unconscious even if the instruction operation is incorrect. May be instructed to "Yes".

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to reduce errors in instruction operations.

  The display processing apparatus of the present invention includes a storage processing unit that stores instruction setting information according to an instruction operation, a generation unit that generates a plurality of options based on the instruction setting information stored in the storage processing unit, Display control means for displaying the options generated by the generating means on a display device.

  The display processing method of the present invention includes a storage processing step for storing instruction setting information according to an instruction operation, a generation step for generating a plurality of options based on the instruction setting information stored in the storage processing step, And a display control step for displaying the options generated in the generation step on a display device.

  The program or recording medium of the present invention may be used.

  According to the present invention, errors in the pointing operation can be reduced.

Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the present embodiment, processing in the case of transmitting an e-mail will be described. Here, it is assumed that the control device 13 has activated the mail transmission program in response to an input instruction via the input device 11 by the user.
FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen 200 that receives input of user instruction settings. The control device 13 displays the input screen 200 on the display device 10 when the mail transmission program is activated. In the input screen 200, 201 is a transmission destination input field for the user to input a transmission destination (consisting of “recipient name” and “recipient email address”) related to the instruction setting. Reference numeral 202 denotes an input field for the user to input the subject of the e-mail. Reference numeral 203 denotes an input field for the user to enter the text of the e-mail. Reference numeral 204 denotes a transmission button for instructing the control device 13 to perform processing for transmitting an e-mail to a transmission destination by the user. In FIG. 2A, “Tanaka (xxx@xxx.xxx)” is input to the transmission destination input field 201 by the user.

  FIG. 2B is a diagram illustrating an example of a confirmation screen 205 that is displayed when the transmission button 204 is instructed by the user. After detecting the instruction of the transmission button 204 by the user, the control device 13 displays a confirmation screen 205 on the display device 10. In the confirmation screen 205, 206 to 208 are three options as GUI operation parts that can be selected by the user. The option 206 describes “Send to Tanaka (tanaka@xxx.xxx)”. The option 207 describes “send to Suzuki (suzuki@xxx.xxx)”. The option 208 describes “Send to Tanaka (takenaka@xxx.xxx)”.

  The transmission destination designated and set by the user on the input screen 200 is “Tanaka (xxx@xxx.xxx)”. Accordingly, the control device 13 executes the mail transmission process when the option 206 “transmit to Tanaka@xxx.xxx” is selected by the user on the confirmation screen 205. After executing the mail transmission process, the control device 13 displays a result screen 209 shown in FIG. On the other hand, it is assumed that the user selects an option “Send to Suzuki (suzuki@xxx.xxx)” or “Send to Tanaka (takenaka@xxx.xxx)” different from the instruction setting on the confirmation screen 205. At that time, the control device 13 does not execute the mail transmission process and changes the screen to FIG. 2A again and displays the input screen 200. Accordingly, the user changes the instruction setting of the transmission destination input in the transmission destination input field 201 on the input screen 200 or confirms the transmission destination input in the transmission destination input field 201 and instructs the transmission button 204. . After detecting the instruction of the transmission button 204 by the user, the control device 13 displays the confirmation screen 205 on the display device 10 again. The control device 13 executes mail transmission processing when an option that matches the instruction setting of the transmission destination input by the user is instructed on the confirmation screen 205. After executing the mail transmission process, the control device 13 displays a result screen 209 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 2C is a diagram showing an example of a result screen 209 displayed after the mail transmission process is executed. The control device 13 displays the result screen 209 on the display device 10 after executing the mail transmission process. The result screen 209 describes the processing executed by the control device 13. In the result screen 209, reference numeral 210 denotes a result confirmation button.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of operation processing of the display processing device. The flowchart in FIG. 3 is executed when the user instructs the display processing device to start a program for performing a desired process. First, at the start, it is assumed that the control device 13 of the display processing device 12 displays an input screen for allowing the user to input instruction settings on the display device 10.
In step S301, the control device 13 determines whether there is a predetermined user instruction setting in a predetermined process. In the mail transmission process, the control device 13 determines whether or not a transmission destination for mail transmission has been set by the user. If set, the control device 13 advances the process to step S302. If not set, the control device 13 determines again in step S301 whether or not there is an instruction setting by the user.

In step S302, the control device 13 stores the contents of the instruction setting (instruction setting information) in the storage device 14 (storage processing).
Next, in step S303, the control device 13 determines whether or not execution has been instructed by the user. More specifically, the control device 13 determines whether or not the transmission button 204 in FIG. When execution is instructed, the control device 13 advances the process to step S304. If execution is not instructed, the control device 13 determines again in step S303 whether or not execution has been instructed by the user.

In step S304, based on the user instruction setting information stored in the storage device 14, the control device 13 generates a plurality of options including an option (correct answer) that matches the instruction setting information (option generation).
Next, in step S305, the control device 13 displays the generated option on the display device 10 as a GUI operation part (display control). More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, the control device 13 displays on the display device 10 options 206 that match the instruction setting information and options 207 and 208 that do not match the instruction setting information. .

  In step S306, the control device 13 determines whether any one of a plurality of options has been selected by the user. When the option is selected, the control device 13 advances the process to step S307. When the option is not selected, the control device 13 determines again whether or not the option is selected in step S306.

  Next, in step S307, the control device 13 determines whether the option selected by the user is an option (correct answer) that matches the instruction setting information. If the option matches the instruction setting information, the control device 13 advances the process to step S308. If the option does not match the instruction setting information, the control device 13 advances the process to step S309.

In step S308, the control device 13 performs processing instructed to be executed by the user. More specifically, when the transmission button 204 in FIG. 2A is instructed, the control device 13 performs processing for transmitting an email based on the instruction setting recorded in the storage device 14.
In step S309, the control device 13 displays on the display device 10 an input screen that allows the user to set an instruction. More specifically, the control device 13 displays the input screen 200 in FIG. Next, the control device 13 advances the process to step S301 again.

  Here, a description will be given of a method in which the control device 13 generates an option different from the instruction setting information in the first embodiment. Based on the instruction setting information stored in the storage device 14, the control device 13 changes or replaces some characters in the instruction setting information to generate options different from the instruction setting information. For example, if the transmission destination related to the instruction setting information is “Tanaka (tanaka@xxx.xxx)”, the control device 13 changes the character “tanaka” to “takenaka” and selects an option different from the instruction setting information. Generate. However, the method for generating an option different from the instruction setting information is not limited to the method described above. For example, when a so-called address book in which a plurality of destinations are set is stored in the storage device 14, the control device 13 extracts a destination different from the instruction setting information from the address book, and extracts the extracted destination May be a different option from the instruction setting information.

  According to the first embodiment, if the user does not select an option that matches the instruction setting information instructed by the user on the confirmation screen, the control device 13 does not execute the process related to the instruction operation. Therefore, the user cannot pass through the confirmation screen unconsciously, and the user is prompted to confirm the contents even when the original instruction setting is incorrect. As described above, according to the display processing apparatus of the first embodiment, when the user performs an important instruction operation, it is necessary to pay sufficient attention, and the user's instruction operation error is reduced.

(Second Embodiment)
FIGS. 4A to 4B are diagrams illustrating an example of transition of screens displayed on the display device when a confirmation screen having options according to the second embodiment is displayed. In the present embodiment, processing in the case of performing a securities transaction will be described. Here, it is assumed that the control device 13 has activated the securities transaction program in accordance with an input instruction from the user via the input device 11.
FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen 400 that receives input of user instruction settings. The control device 13 displays the input screen 400 on the display device 10 when starting the securities transaction program. In the input screen 400, 401 is a brand input field for the user to enter a brand for which a securities transaction is targeted. Reference numeral 402 denotes a stock number input field in which the user inputs the number of sold stocks related to the user's instruction setting. Reference numeral 403 denotes a price input field in which the user inputs a sale price related to the user's instruction setting. Reference numeral 404 denotes a transaction execution button for instructing the control device 13 to perform processing for transmitting the transaction content to a server such as a securities company. In FIG. 4A, the user inputs “XXX company” in the brand input field 401, inputs “1” stock in the stock number input field 402, and inputs “610,000” yen in the price input field 403. Yes.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating an example of a confirmation screen displayed when the transaction execution button 404 is instructed by the user. The control device 13 displays a confirmation screen 405 on the display device 10 after detecting an instruction of the transaction execution button 404 by the user. On the confirmation screen 405, 406 to 408 are three options as GUI operation parts that can be selected by the user. The option 406 describes “sell 610,000 shares for 1 yen”. The option 407 describes “sell 61,000 shares for 10 yen”. The option 408 describes “sell one share for 610,000 yen”.

  Here, in the second embodiment, a method in which the control device 13 generates an option different from the instruction setting will be described. The control device 13 generates an option different from the instruction setting information by exchanging some numerical values among a plurality of instruction setting information recorded in the storage device 14. For example, if the number of shares to be sold and the selling price according to the instruction setting information are “1” shares sold at “610,000” yen, the control device 13 replaces the numerical values and changes the numerical value to “610,000” shares. Generate an option to sell. However, the method for generating an option different from the instruction setting information is not limited to the method described above. For example, the control device 13 may extract a numerical value at random and generate an option different from the instruction setting information using the extracted numerical value.

  The transaction content designated and set on the input screen 400 by the user is to sell “1” stock for “610,000” yen. Accordingly, when the user selects the option 408 “sell one share for 610,000 yen” on the confirmation screen 405, the control device 13 executes the transaction execution process.

  According to the second embodiment, the control device 13 generates correct limbs and confusing options different from the correct limbs from the instruction setting information. As described above, according to the display processing apparatus of the second embodiment, it is necessary for the user to understand the difference between the contents with sufficient care when performing an important operation. Operation errors are reduced.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, only the case where three options are generated and displayed as a case where a plurality of options are displayed has been described, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this case. . For example, the control device 13 may generate two or more options and display them on the display device 10.
The display processing apparatus may be applied to an apparatus or system having a GUI function, such as a personal computer, a digital copying machine, an ATM (automatic cash dispenser), or a ticket vending machine.
