Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a processing switching device used in a computer system such as a personal computer. The present invention relates to a process switching device suitable for executing the process of the other side when switching to the other side.

[Background of the invention]

Conventionally, the three processing switching devices in the computer system are:
As typified by the menu selection method, a preset menu is displayed on a display device, and by selecting a desired processing section from the menu, the processing of the processing section is executed. There are many things.

Therefore, when moving from one process to another, it is necessary to go through two steps: return to the main menu display and then select the next process, which makes the operation more time-consuming and Some personal computers are configured so that a plurality of processing units are displayed on a display device, and each processing unit executes processing independently. However, since each processing unit processes independently, for example, if the processing content of one processing unit is related to the processing content of the other processing unit, data cannot be exchanged between the two processing units. Therefore, it has been necessary to input data into both processing units each time.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a processing switching device that can switch from one processing section to another with a simple operation and that can also transfer data between each processing section. is to provide.

The above object can be achieved by providing means for exchanging data between the devices.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, an example of the implementation of the present invention will be described with respect to a cancerous drawing.

FIG. 1 is an overall block diagram showing an embodiment in which the processing switching device of the present invention is applied to a burner computer, FIG. 2 is a front view showing a display device, and FIGS. 3 and 4 show a cursor and FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship with the processing section, FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the control operation of the control section body, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing specific examples of each processing section α).

As shown in FIG. 1, the actual personal computer includes a display device 2, a control unit (K/B) 3, and a control unit main body 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 2 is composed of three CRTs, and is adapted to perform display based on input signals from the operating section 3 on the display range, that is, the screen. The display device f2 has a cursor 4 displayed on the screen so as to be movable on the screen.

The operation unit (K/B) 3 is for inputting sentences, calculations, etc. As shown in FIG. 4(C), the operating section 3 has a key portion 31 for moving the cursor 4 to a desired position on the screen of the display device 2. By pressing a desired key button 31, the cursor 4 is moved one step at a time in the vertical (up and down) direction or the horizontal (horizontal) direction on the screen of the display device 2.

The control unit main body 1 is configured to control the display of the display device 2 according to a predetermined program when an input is received through the operation unit 3.

Further, the control unit main body 1 is configured to display the first to fourth processing units 11 to 14 on the same screen using one display device 2. Each of the first to fourth processing units 11 to 14 performs a preset process.

Furthermore, when a plurality of processing sections 11 to 14 are displayed on the same screen of the display device 2, the control section main body 1 controls the operation section 3 when the text cursor 4 is positioned within the range of one of the processing sections by the operation section 3. , the processing of the processing section where the cursor 4 is located is executed. For example, as shown in FIG. 3(a), when the cursor 4 is located within the range of the lower right end step of the first processing section 11, the first processing section 11 executes the processing and the cursor 4 is moved from that position. When the cursor 4 moves in eight directions and is located within the range of the third processing section 13, the third processing section 13 executes the process as shown in FIG. When the object moves to a position within the range of the second processing section 12, the second processing section 12 executes the processing.

Therefore, when the cursor 4 is located within the range of any processing section, the control section main body 1 determines the position of the cursor 4 and executes the process of the processing section where the cursor 4 is located. In addition, in the case where the cursor 4 moves in the C and D directions in Fig. 3 (Fa), it remains within the range of the first processing section 11, so as shown in Fig. 3 (b). When the first processing section 11 continues to execute its processing, the first processing section 11 continues its processing.

When moving from within the range of one processing unit to within the range of the other processing unit, the other processing unit executes the processing, but at that time, data is transferred between the other processing unit or one processing unit. It is designed to execute the delivery.

In this case, in order to quickly move the cursor 4 from one [σ] processing section to the other processing section, the operation section 3
When the cursor 4 is located inside the end step within the range of each processing section, pressing the key moves it all at once from that position to the end steps 4a, 4b in the vertical direction or the end steps 4c, 4d in the horizontal direction. It has 32 parts.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (C1), the key part 32 consists of three upper keys, a lower key 32b, a left key 32C, and a right key 32d. As shown, when the cursor 4 is located at the center within the range of the third processing unit 13, the cursor 4 is moved to the upper step 4a in the upward direction E by pressing the upper end key 32a, or by pressing the lower end key 32b. to move the cursor 4 to the lower end step 4b of the downward direction F, or move the cursor 4 to the lateral direction G to the left end step 4c by pressing the left end key 32C.
By pressing the right end key 32d, the cursor 4 is moved all at once to the right end step 4d in the horizontal direction H.
This will be explained using FIG.

FIG. 6 shows the first processing unit 11 on the screen of the display device 2.
The 21st/) processing section 12 performs spreadsheet processing, the third processing section 13 performs image processing,
As shown in FIG. 5, which shows the case where a word processor is short-chained as the fourth processing section 14, the display device 2
Perform initial settings on the screen (Sl), then press cursor 4
After making the settings (S2), the cursor 4 is controlled by the operating section (K/B) 3 (S3) At this time, the cursor 4 is displayed as shown in FIG. 6 by operating the operating section 3. When the first processing unit 11 displayed on the screen of the device 2 is controlled to move to the right side, the control body 1 judges the position of the cursor 4 (S4), and as a result, the sled cursor 4 is moved to the right side. 1 to execute the process of the processing unit 11 (85-1
).

Therefore, when the cursor 4 is located within the range of the first processing section 11, the first processing section 11 can input the title by operating the operation section 3.

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the processing of all processing units has been completed (S5), and if the processing has not been completed, the processing from S3 onwards is repeated.

Next, by operating the operating unit 3 to move the cursor 4 within the range of the second processing unit 12, necessary data can be input and spreadsheet calculations can be performed.

Thereafter, by operating the operating unit 3, the cursor 4 is moved within the range of the third processing unit 13, thereby executing image processing. At this time, the third processing section 13 performs image processing by inputting the data of the second processing section 12, but since the data necessary for the processing is exchanged with the second processing section 12, It becomes unnecessary to input the data necessary for image processing one by one.

Thereafter, the cursor 4 is moved within the range of the fourth processing section 14 by operating the operation section 3, and the remark content is input. This determines that all processing has been completed (S
End with 6).

In this way, in the present invention, when a plurality of processing units 11 to 14 are displayed within the display range of the display device 2, when the cursor 4 is positioned within the range of a fallen processing unit, the cursor 40 Since the processing of the first processing section can be executed, there is no need to select the next processing section after returning to the one-many display as in the past, making the operation that much easier. can.

Furthermore, when performing image processing such as in the third processing section, the data necessary for the processing is passed between the second processing section 12 and there is no need to input the data necessary for image processing one by one. With σ, the processing in the third processing unit 13 can be executed simply by moving the cursor 4, and therefore,
It is extremely useful for data analysis, etc., as it allows you to analyze a large amount of data from multiple directions.

Furthermore, in the illustrated example, an instantaneous movement key 32 is provided on the operating section (K/B), and the key 32 allows movement from inside the range of the processing section to the end step in the desired direction at once. If you want to move the cursor 4 from one processing section to the other processing section, you have to press the key section 31 many times, but if you use the instantaneous movement key 32 and the key section 31 together, it is easy with a very small number of operations. can be moved to
