Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system. In particular, the present invention provides an information processing system including an output unit for displaying a selection input type input display on a display unit, in which condition A and condition B are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to make a condition combination. About the system.

  In an information processing system, there is a case where processing for extracting an element satisfying a certain condition from a group of a plurality of elements is performed. Such a process is used, for example, when extracting only specific information from a large number of information, or when granting authority to perform some work in the information system only to people having specific attributes in the group. The

  For example, in the information processing system disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-20537), when conditions are input to some items in the input display displayed on the display unit (see FIG. 21). , Information satisfying the condition is extracted for all items for which the condition is input.

  By the way, when extracting an element from a group, it may be desired to perform an element extraction process with a combination of relatively complicated conditions. For example, when extracting elements from the group, instead of extracting elements that satisfy all of the first condition, the second condition, and the third condition, the first condition is satisfied and the second condition is satisfied, or In some cases, a process for extracting an element that satisfies any of the third conditions is desired.

  Conventionally, when an information processing system causes an element extraction process to be executed with a combination of relatively complicated conditions, a user using the system can code a program for causing the system to execute such a process, Or creating logical expressions. Coding refers to describing a program that can be processed by a computer using a programming language. The logical expression is, for example, a logical expression expressed in a format such as (first condition AND second condition) OR third condition. However, the coding of programs and the creation of logical expressions are difficult for users of information processing systems who are not familiar with information processing.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 26 of Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-20537), for input of a selective input formula, a condition combination is selected by connecting a condition and a condition by selecting a logical product or a logical sum. The indication is disclosed. By using such a selection input type input display, even a user who is not familiar with information processing can create a combination of conditions for extracting elements relatively easily.

However, as in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-20537), a plurality of conditions are arranged side by side, and a logical operator representing a logical product or logical sum is placed between the conditions and the condition combination. For example, there is a problem as follows. For example, the case where an element satisfying the logical expression (first condition AND second condition) OR third condition is extracted from a group of elements will be described as an example. To do.

  When this logical expression is arranged on the display unit with the conditions arranged side by side, and a logical operator representing a logical product or logical sum between the conditions is arranged and displayed on the display unit, the display unit displays, for example, in FIG. Is displayed.

  When an element is extracted under the displayed conditions, the user who sees this display does not have the condition of (first condition AND second condition) OR third condition, but the first condition AND (second condition OR third If the element of the condition (condition) is extracted, there is a possibility of misunderstanding.

  (First condition AND second condition) Since the condition of OR third condition and the first condition AND (second condition OR third condition) are completely different conditions, the combination of conditions considered by the user is different. A combination of conditions may be used for the element extraction process. Such an error is more likely to occur as the combination of conditions to be expressed becomes more complicated.

  The problem of the present invention is that even when a user who is not familiar with information processing is allowed to perform processing for extracting an element satisfying a certain combination of conditions from a group consisting of a plurality of elements. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing system capable of easily defining complex condition combinations and preventing a user from specifying an incorrect condition combination.

  An information processing system according to a first aspect of the present invention includes an output unit. The output unit causes the display unit to display an input display of a selection input expression that selects and connects the condition A and the condition B by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to form a condition combination. The output unit further causes the display unit to display the condition B as an input display of a selection input formula in which the condition Ba and the condition Bb are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to form a condition combination. The output unit further causes the display unit to display that the condition B is one condition block in parallel with the condition A.

  In the information processing system for a program according to the first aspect of the present invention, for input of a selection input expression in which condition A and condition B are connected by selecting logical product (AND) or logical sum (OR) The display is displayed on the display unit. Further, the condition B is displayed on the display unit as an input display of a selection input formula in which the condition Ba and the condition Bb are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to make a condition combination. Therefore, even a user who is not familiar with information processing can define a complicated combination of conditions relatively easily. Here, it is further displayed on the display section that the condition B is one condition block that is in parallel with the condition A. Therefore, even when complex condition combinations are displayed on the display unit, input conditions that are not intended by the user who uses the input display or input that is not intended by the user editing the input display It is possible to prevent the display from being created.

When the third region surrounded by the third frame line exists in the second region surrounded by the second frame line, the condition A and the first region are displayed outside the third region.

  (2) The condition Ba and the condition Bb are displayed in the first area colored with the first color. Condition A is displayed outside the first area. Preferably, the condition A and the first area are displayed in a second area colored with a second color different from the first color. If there is a third area colored with a third color different from the first color and the second color in the second area, the condition A and the first area are displayed outside the third area. .

  However, the condition B is displayed on the display unit as an input display of a selection input expression in which the condition Ba and the condition Bb are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum of the conditions Ba and the condition Bb, and the condition B The display modes of the condition A for displaying on the display section that the block is one condition block in parallel with A, the condition Ba, and the condition Bb (condition B) are the above (1) and (2). It is not limited to the aspect illustrated in. Since the input display of the selection input expression is a visualization of the logical expression, the condition A, the condition Ba, and the condition Bb (condition B) are such that the nested structure of the logical expression can be easily specified. In the aspect, it is preferable to be displayed on the display unit.

  An information processing system according to a second aspect of the present invention is the information processing system according to the first aspect, and further includes a reception unit and a change unit. The accepting unit accepts an editing operation for an input display displayed on the display unit.

In this case, when the add button E1 on the setting processing program creation screen is pressed, the logical operator selection area S3 and the condition input area F3a are added to the lowermost part of the area surrounded by the frame line L1. However, it is not limited to this. The place where the logical operator selection area S3 and the condition input area F3a are added may be configured to be selectable. In FIG. 3, the condition input area F3a in which condition input has already been performed is drawn, but when the input display is added, the content of the condition input area F3a is blank. Here, after the add button E1 is pressed, the format of the condition input area F3a to be added is either the same format as the condition input area F1, the same format as the condition input area F2a, or the same format as the condition input area F2b. It is configured to be selectable. Illustration of buttons for selecting a format is omitted. In the example of FIG. 3, the same format as the condition input area F2a is selected.

  Similarly, when the add button E1 is pressed on the setting processing program creation screen in FIG. 3 and the same format as the condition input area F2b is selected, the setting processing program creation is performed as in the setting processing program creation screen in FIG. A logical operator selection area S4 and a condition input area F3b are added to the screen. Since the processes of the receiving unit 220 and the generating unit 262 performed when adding the logical operator selection area S4 and the condition input area F3b are the same as described above, the description thereof is omitted.

  The input display deletion operation is an operation of designating one or more condition input areas to be deleted and pressing the delete button E2 on the setting processing program creation screen using the mouse of the input unit 20A. However, the input display addition operation may be another operation performed on the setting processing program creation screen.

  For example, when the condition input area F3b is designated and the delete button E2 is pressed on the setting process program creation screen in FIG. 4, the logical operator selection area S4 and the logical operator selection area S4 are displayed as in the setting process program creation screen in FIG. The condition input area F3b is deleted. As a specific processing flow, when the condition input area F3b is specified on the setting process program creation screen and the delete button E2 is pressed, the accepting unit 220 is an input that causes the display unit 30A to display this operation. It is accepted as an operation for deleting the display for use. Then, the generation unit 262 of the processing unit 260 changes the display that the output unit 210 displays on the display unit 30 </ b> A according to the input display deletion operation received by the reception unit 220. In other words, the generation unit 262 newly generates a setting processing program creation screen to be displayed on the display unit 30A by the output unit 210 in response to the input display deletion operation received by the reception unit 220. The generation unit 262 deletes the input display from the setting processing program creation screen displayed on the display unit 30A in response to the input display deletion operation received by the reception unit 220. More specifically, the generation unit 262 deletes the condition input area F3b and the logical operator selection area S3 disposed immediately above the input display deletion operation received by the reception unit 220. The screen for creating the setting process program of FIG. 3 is generated.

(B-2) Combining operation and disassembling operation of input display The compositing operation and disassembling operation of the input display will be described.

  The input display compositing operation and the disassembling operation are an example of an input display editing operation and an example of an input display relationship definition operation. That is, the relationship between a certain condition and another condition is defined by performing a combining operation and a disassembling operation of the input display.

  Here, the input display compositing operation includes two or more condition input areas, at least one condition input area and at least one selection input expression input display, or two or more selection input expression input displays. This is a blocking operation that is combined into one conditional block. Conversely, the disassembly operation of the display for input includes one condition block, two or more condition input areas, at least one condition input area and at least one selection input expression, or two or more selection input expressions. This is the unblocking operation that is used as the input display.

  The input display composition operation designates two or more condition input areas, at least one condition input area and at least one selection input expression input display, or two or more selection input expression input displays, This is an operation of pressing the composite button E3 on the setting processing program creation screen using the mouse of the input unit 20A. However, the input display composition operation may be another operation performed on the setting processing program creation screen.

  For example, when the condition input area 3a and the condition input area 3b are specified on the screen for creating the setting process program in FIG. 4 and the composition button E3 is pressed, the condition is displayed as in the screen for creating the setting process program in FIG. The input area 3a and the condition input area 3b are blocked. In other words, when the condition input area 3a and the condition input area 3b are designated on the setting process program creation screen in FIG. 4 and the synthesis button E3 is pressed, as in the setting process program creation screen in FIG. A selection input type input display H3 is generated in which the condition input area 3a and the condition input area 3b are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to form a condition combination. Here, the condition input area 3a is an example of the condition Ca, and the condition input area 3b is an example of the condition Cb. The selection input type input display H3 is an example of a selection input type input display related to the condition C. As a specific processing flow, when the condition input area 3a and the condition input area 3b are designated using the mouse of the input unit 20A on the setting process program creation screen and the synthesis button E3 is pressed, the receiving unit 220 This operation is accepted as an input display composition operation to be displayed on the display unit 30A. Then, the generation unit 262 of the processing unit 260 changes the display that the output unit 210 displays on the display unit 30 </ b> A in accordance with the input display composition operation received by the reception unit 220. In other words, the generation unit 262 newly generates a display to be displayed on the display unit 30 </ b> A by the output unit 210 in accordance with the input display composition operation received by the reception unit 220. The generation unit 262 selects the condition input area 3a and the condition input area 3b and a logical operator between the condition input area 3a and the condition input area 3b in accordance with the input display composition operation received by the reception unit 220. A frame line L3 surrounding the region S4 is drawn. In other words, the generation unit 262 adds a frame line L3 that surrounds the condition input area 3a, the condition input area 3b, and the logical operator selection area S4 according to the input display composition operation received by the reception unit 220. Generate the setting processing program creation screen.

  Note that the frame line L3 indicates that the input display H3 of the selection input expression representing the condition C is one condition block. Inside the frame line L3, a selection input type input display H3 representing the condition C is arranged. On the other hand, the area surrounded by the frame line L2 in which the condition input area F1 representing the condition A and the input display H2 of the selection input expression representing the condition B are disposed are the areas surrounded by the frame line L3. Placed outside. The condition input area F1, the area surrounded by the frame line L2, and the area surrounded by the frame line L3 are arranged connected by a logical operator. The user can recognize that the condition C is one condition block in parallel with the conditions A and B by such display.

  Furthermore, here, as shown in FIG. 5, a condition input area F1 representing the condition A and an area surrounded by a frame line L2 (an area in which the input display H2 of the selection input expression representing the condition B is arranged) And the area surrounded by the frame line L3 (the area in which the selection input expression display H3 representing the condition C is arranged) is displayed in the area surrounded by the frame line L1. With such a configuration, the user can easily recognize that the condition C is one condition block in parallel with the conditions A and B.

  Similarly, in the setting processing program creation screen of FIG. 5, a selection input type input display H2 and a selection input type input display H3 are designated, and the synthesis button E3 on the setting processing program creation screen is pressed. Then, as in the setting processing program creation screen of FIG. 6, the selection input type input display H2 and the selection input type input display H3 are blocked. In other words, when the selection input type input display H2 and the selection input type input display H3 are designated on the screen for creating the setting process program of FIG. 5 and the composition button E3 is pressed, the setting process of FIG. For the input of a selection input type, such as a screen for creating a program, a selection input type input display H2 and a selection input type input display H3 are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to make a condition combination. A display H23 is generated. Then, the generation unit 262 generates a setting processing program creation screen in which a frame L4 surrounding the selection input type display H23 is added in accordance with the input display composition operation received by the reception unit 220. In other words, the generation unit 262 performs the selection input type input display H2, the selection input type input display H3, and the selection input type input display in accordance with the input display composition operation received by the reception unit 220. A screen for creating a setting processing program is generated by adding a frame line L4 surrounding the logical operator selection area S3 between H2 and the input display H3 of the selection input expression. Since the processing of the receiving unit 220 and the generation unit 262 performed when the selection input type input display H2 and the selection input type input display H3 are combined is the same as described above, the details are omitted.

  The frame line L4 indicates that the selection input expression input display H23 is one condition block, and the condition represented by the selection input expression input display H23 is in parallel with the condition A. It is for displaying that it is one condition block. Description is omitted.

  The input display disassembling operation is an operation of designating an input display of one selection input type and pressing the disassemble button E4 on the setting processing program creation screen using the mouse of the input unit 20A. However, the input display disassembling operation may be another operation performed on the setting processing program creation screen.

  For example, when the selection input expression display H23 is designated on the setting process program creation screen in FIG. 6 and the disassemble button E4 is pressed, the selection input expression is displayed as in the setting process program creation screen in FIG. The input display H23 is unblocked. As a specific processing flow, when the selection input type display H23 is designated using the mouse of the input unit 20A on the setting processing program creation screen and the disassemble button E4 is pressed, the receiving unit 220 This operation is accepted as a disassembling operation for input display to be displayed on the display unit 30A. Then, the generation unit 262 of the processing unit 260 changes the display that the output unit 210 displays on the display unit 30 </ b> A according to the input display disassembling operation received by the receiving unit 220. In other words, the generation unit 262 newly generates a display to be displayed on the display unit 30A by the output unit 210 in accordance with the input display disassembling operation received by the receiving unit 220. The generation unit 262 selects a selection input type input display H2, a selection input type input display H3, and a selection input type input display H2 according to the disassembly operation of the input display received by the reception unit 220. The frame line L4 surrounding the logical operator selection area S3 between the input expression and the input display H3 is deleted. In other words, the generation unit 262 includes the selection input type input display H2 and the selection input type input display H3, and the logic between the selection input type input display H2 and the selection input type input display H3. A setting processing program creation screen is generated by deleting the frame line L4 surrounding the operator selection area S3.

  In the setting process program creation screen of FIG. 5 from which the frame line L4 has been deleted, as described above, the condition input area F1, the selection input type input display H2, and the selection input type input display H3. Are displayed in parallel with each other.

(B-3) Moving operation of input display The moving operation of the input display will be described.

  The input display compositing operation and the disassembling operation are examples of the input display editing operation and may be a relation defining operation for the input display. That is, the relationship between a certain condition and another condition may be defined by performing an input display moving operation.

  Here, the input display moving operation refers to an operation of moving at least one condition input area and / or at least one input display of a selection input type.

  The input display addition operation is performed by designating at least one condition input region and / or at least one selection input type input display using the mouse of the input unit 20A, and performing a desired operation by dragging and dropping. This is an operation to move the position. However, the movement operation of the input display may be another operation performed on the setting processing program creation screen.

  For example, when the input display H3 of the selection input type relating to the condition C is designated on the screen for creating the setting processing program in FIG. 6 and is moved into the frame line L2 by the mouse operation of the input unit 20A, the setting processing program in FIG. Like the creation screen, the selection input type input display H3 is moved together as one condition block. Note that FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining an input display moving operation, and the combination of conditions drawn in FIG. 7 may not be appropriate as an actual combination of conditions.

  As a specific processing flow, when a selection input type input display H3 is designated using the mouse of the input unit 20A on the setting processing program creation screen and moved by a drag and drop operation, the receiving unit 220 accepts this operation as an input display moving operation to be displayed on the display unit 30A. Then, the generation unit 262 of the processing unit 260 changes the display that the output unit 210 displays on the display unit 30 </ b> A according to the input display moving operation received by the receiving unit 220. In other words, the generation unit 262 newly generates a display to be displayed on the display unit 30A by the output unit 210 in accordance with the input display movement operation received by the reception unit 220. The generation unit 262 displays the input selection expression input display H3 related to the condition C on the setting processing program creation screen displayed on the display unit 30A in response to the input display moving operation received by the reception unit 220. Are moved together as one condition block. In other words, the generation unit 262 displays the input selection type input display H3 related to the condition C on the setting processing program creation screen displayed on the display unit 30A in response to the input display movement operation received by the reception unit 220. A screen for creating a setting processing program is generated in which the display positions are moved together as one condition block.

  In the setting process program creation screen of FIG. 7, the frame line L2 selects the condition input area F2a, the condition input area F2b, and the input display H3 of the selection input formula by selecting a logical product or logical sum. The input display of the selection input type that is connected and used as a condition combination indicates that it is one condition block. Further, the frame line L2 is a selection input expression that is a condition combination obtained by connecting the condition input area F2a, the condition input area F2b, and the input display H3 for the selection input expression by selecting a logical product or a logical sum. It is displayed that the input display is one condition block having a parallel relationship with the condition A arranged outside the area surrounded by the frame line L4.

  On the screen for creating the setting processing program after the change, the frame line L3 is a selection input expression in which the condition input area F3a and the condition input area F3b are connected by selecting a logical product or logical sum to make a condition combination. The input display H3 displays that it is one condition block. In addition, the frame line L3 is outside the region surrounded by the frame line L3 and the input display H3 of the selection input type is within the region surrounded by the frame line L2 including the region surrounded by the frame line L3. 1 is a condition block that is in parallel with the condition Ba and the condition Bb.

  Similarly, for example, in the setting processing program creation screen of FIG. 8A, the input display H2 of the selection input type related to the condition B is designated, and the inside of the frame line L6 (however, the frame line L4 and the frame line) are specified by the mouse operation of the input unit 20A. When moved to (outside L5), the selection input type input display H2 related to the condition B is moved together as one condition block, as in the setting processing program creation screen of FIG. 8B. Since the processes of the receiving unit 220 and the generating unit 262 performed when the selection input type input display H related to the condition B is moved are the same as described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

(B-4) Input Display Duplication Operation The input display duplication operation will be described.

  Here, the input display duplication operation refers to an operation of duplicating at least one condition input area and / or at least one selection input type input display.

  In the input display duplication operation, at least one condition input area and / or at least one selection input type input display is designated, and the duplication button E5 on the setting processing program creation screen is moved with the mouse of the input unit 20A. Use to press. However, the input display duplication operation may be another operation performed on the setting processing program creation screen.

  For example, when the selection input type input display H2 (condition B) is specified on the setting processing program creation screen of FIG. 2 and the copy button E5 is pressed, the selection input type input display is duplicated. As shown in the screen for creating the setting processing program in FIG. 5, the input display of the duplicated selection input expression is obtained by logically ORing the condition input area 3a (condition Ca) and the condition input area 3b (condition Cb). Is displayed on the display unit 30A as an input display H3 of a selection input type that is selected and connected as a condition combination. As a specific processing flow, when the selection input type display H2 is designated using the mouse of the input unit 20A on the setting processing program creation screen and the copy button E5 is pressed, the receiving unit 220 This operation is accepted as an input display duplication operation to be displayed on the display unit 30A. Then, the generation unit 262 of the processing unit 260 changes the display that the output unit 210 displays on the display unit 30 </ b> A in accordance with the input display duplication operation received by the reception unit 220. In other words, the generation unit 262 newly generates a display to be displayed on the display unit 30 </ b> A by the output unit 210 in response to the input display duplication operation received by the reception unit 220. The generation unit 262 has the same content as the input display H2 of the selection input type, that is, the condition input area 2a, the condition input area 2b, and between them, according to the input display duplication operation received by the reception unit 220. The logical operator selection area S2 and the frame line L2 are duplicated. Then, the generation unit 262 places the duplicated two condition input areas, the logical operator selection area arranged between them, and the frame line at the bottom of the area surrounded by the frame line L1. The selection display H3 (the condition input area 3a, the condition input area 3b, and the logical operator selection area S3 arranged therebetween) and the frame line L3 are drawn. More specifically, the generation unit 262 generates a setting processing program creation screen in which a selection input type input display H3 and a frame line L3 are added at the bottom of the area surrounded by the frame line L1.

(B-5) Operation authority setting processing program generation processing by the processing unit The input display editing operation described in (B-1) to (B-4) above is appropriately performed, and condition input is performed in the condition input area. When the OK button E6 (see FIG. 6) arranged at the bottom of the screen is finally pressed, the processing unit 260 generates a program with the contents input on the setting processing program creation screen. . For example, when the OK button E6 is pressed while the setting processing program creation screen in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display unit 30A, the processing unit 260 relates to product information that satisfies the following logical expression, A program is created that performs processing to give editing authority to employees who satisfy the ceremony.

<Logical expression>
(Product field = Power parts)
AND
(((Department = Motor Division) AND (Motor Division Sales Department)))
OR
((Business Division = Engine Business Division) AND (Engine Business Division Sales Department))))
Note that the frame line L2, the frame line L3, and the frame line L4 on the setting processing program creation screen in FIG. 6 correspond to parentheses in the above logical expression. In the setting processing program creation screen, the nesting structure of the logical expression is expressed using the frame line L2, the frame line L3, and the frame line L4. Easy to understand.

(C) Processing in the case where all of the input display cannot be collectively displayed When the input display editing operation is performed as described above and a desired setting processing program creation screen is displayed on the display unit 30A, depending on the contents, There are cases where all of the input display cannot be displayed collectively on the display unit 30A. In other words, the output unit 210 may not be able to display the setting processing program creation screen generated by the generation unit 262 on one screen on the display of the display unit 30A. For example, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, when the selection input type displays H1, H2, H3, and H4 increase, in other words, the number of condition input areas F1, F2a, F2b, F3a, F3b, F4a, and F4b increases. Then, the setting processing program creation screen generated by the generation unit 262 may not be displayed collectively on the display unit 30A.

  In such a case, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the output unit 210 displays the scroll bar K at the right end of the area in the frame line L1 and scrolls the screen, so that all the input displays (condition input All of the regions F1, F2a, F2b, F3a, F3b, F4a, and F4b) can be displayed on the display unit 30A.

(2-2-4-2) Whole Image Generating Unit In particular, when all of the input display is displayed on the display unit 30A by scrolling the screen as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the displayed setting process It may not be easy to understand the contents of the program creation screen. Therefore, the information processing system 100 includes a whole image generation unit 264.

  The entire image generation unit 264 generates an entire image G for collectively displaying information having the same contents as all of the input displays displayed on the display unit 30A on the display unit 30A. The whole image G is an image used for confirming the contents of the setting processing program creation screen. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the entire image generation unit 264 generates an entire image G in which the contents of the setting processing program creation screen are logical expressions. The entire image G shown here is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the entire image G may be an image in which the line spacing of characters on the setting processing program creation screen is narrowed.

  The whole image G created by the whole image generation unit 264 is displayed on the display unit 30A when the user presses a whole image display button (not shown) displayed on the display unit 30A using the mouse of the input unit 20A. It is configured as follows.

(2-2-5) Database The database 300 is stored in, for example, a hard disk and managed by the processing unit 260.

  The database 300 includes DB tables 310, 320, 330, 340, 350 (database tables 310, 320, 330, 340, 350) such as information managed by the information processing system 100. Although not limited, the DB table 310 stores data related to employees who use the information processing system 100. Product information managed by the information processing system 100 is stored in the DB table 320.

  In FIG. 1, the database 300 includes five DB tables 310 to 350, but the number of DB tables is not limited to five. The number of DB tables may be determined as appropriate according to the program to be created. The number of DB tables may be less than 5, or 6 or more.

(4) Features Features of the information processing system 100 according to the embodiment will be described below. Here, the characteristics of the information processing system 100 will be described by taking as an example the case where the information processing system 100 is used from the user terminal 10A.

It is displayed in the area. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when there is a third region surrounded by a frame line L3 different from the frame line L2 in the second region surrounded by the frame line L1, the condition B is In order to display on the display unit 30A that one condition block has a parallel relationship, the condition input area F1 representing the condition A and the first area surrounded by the frame line L2 are outside the third area. It is preferable to be displayed.

  The condition B is displayed on the display unit 30A as an input display of a selection input formula that selects and connects the condition Ba and the condition Bb by selecting a logical product or a logical sum, and the condition B is The display mode of the condition A for displaying on the display unit 30A that it is one condition block in parallel with the condition A, the condition Ba, and the condition Bb (condition B) is limited to the above mode. It is not a thing. Various other modes may be adopted as display modes of the condition A, the condition Ba, and the condition Bb (condition B). However, since the input display of the selection input expression is a visualization of the logical expression, the condition A, the condition Ba, and the condition Bb (condition B) are such that the nested structure of the logical expression can be easily specified. In the aspect, it is preferable to be displayed on the display unit.

  In the information processing system 100 according to the above-described embodiment, a selection input type input display for selecting a logical combination (AND) or a logical sum (OR) and connecting the condition A and the condition B as a condition combination is displayed on the display unit. 30A is displayed. Further, the condition B is displayed on the display unit 30A as an input display of a selection input formula in which the condition Ba and the condition Bb are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum to make a condition combination. Therefore, even a user who is not familiar with information processing can define a complicated combination of conditions relatively easily. In this case, it is further displayed on the display unit 30A that the condition B is one condition block in parallel with the condition A. Therefore, even when a complicated condition combination is displayed on the display unit 30A, a condition combination that is not intended by the user who performs the operation using the input display is input or an input that is not intended by the user who edits the input display. It is possible to prevent creating a display for use.

(4-2)
The information processing system 100 according to the embodiment includes a reception unit 220 and a generation unit 262. The generation unit 262 is an example of a changing unit. The accepting unit 220 accepts an input display editing operation displayed on the display unit 30A. The generation unit 262 changes the display that the output unit 210 displays on the display unit 30A in accordance with the editing operation received by the reception unit 220. The generation unit 262 accepts the condition B on the screen displayed on the display unit 30A in response to the movement operation of the condition B received by the reception unit 220, in other words, the movement operation of the selection input type display H2 related to the condition B. The display position of the input display H2 of the selection input type relating to is moved together as one condition block.

  In the information processing system 100 according to the second aspect of the present invention, the condition input area F2a and the condition input area F2b surrounded by the frame line L2 are displayed on the display unit 30A as a condition combination of the condition Ba and the condition Bb. Can be moved together as one condition block. Therefore, the user can define a complicated combination of conditions by a relatively easy input display editing operation.

(4-3)
In the information processing system 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the generation unit 262 duplicates the input display H2 of the selection input type related to the condition B in accordance with the duplication operation of the condition B accepted by the accepting unit 220. The generation unit 262 selects a logical product or logical sum of the duplicated display for the condition C, the condition Ca (the condition input area F3a representing the condition Ca) and the condition Cb (the condition input area F3b representing the condition Cb). Then, it is displayed on the display unit 30A as a selection input type input display H3 that is connected and used as a condition combination.

  In the information processing system 100 according to the third aspect of the present invention, the input display H2 of the selection input formula related to the condition B is duplicated and displayed on the display unit 30A as the input display H3 of the new selection input formula of the condition C. be able to. Therefore, the user can define a complicated combination of conditions by a relatively easy input display editing operation.

(4-4)
In the information processing system 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the generation unit 262 receives the condition C as the condition A and the condition according to the relationship definition operation that defines the relationship between the condition C and another condition received by the reception unit 220. The display unit 30A indicates that it is one condition block in parallel with at least one of B, or that condition C is one condition block in parallel with at least one of condition Ba and condition Bb. Display.

  The relationship defining operation that defines the relationship between the condition C and other conditions preferably includes, for example, a composition operation that blocks the condition C and other conditions. In the embodiment, the condition C and the condition C and the other conditions blocked are arranged in a region surrounded by the same frame. For example, in the state depicted in FIG. 5, when the input display H3 of the selection input expression relating to the condition C and the input display H2 of the selection input expression relating to the condition B are blocked, a frame line L4 as shown in FIG. Is drawn, and a selection input type input display H3 and a selection input type input display H2 are arranged in an area surrounded by the frame line L4. The selection input expression input display H3 and the selection input expression input display H2 are connected and arranged side by side with a logical operator in an area surrounded by a frame line L4. In this way, the condition C is displayed on the display unit 30A as being a condition block in parallel with the condition B.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the relationship definition operation for defining the relationship between the condition C and other conditions includes, for example, a decomposition operation for releasing the blocking of the condition C and other conditions. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a state in which a selection input type input display H3 related to the condition C and a selection input type input display H2 related to the condition B are arranged in the region surrounded by the frame line L4, that is, the condition C When the blocking of the condition C and the condition B is canceled in the state where the condition B and the condition B are blocked, the frame line L4 is deleted as shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the condition input area F1 representing the condition A, the input display H2 for the selection input expression relating to the condition B, and the input display H3 for the selection input expression relating to the condition C are all surrounded by a frame line L1. Are connected by logical operators and arranged side by side. In this manner, the condition C is displayed on the display unit 30A as being a condition block in parallel with the conditions A and B.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the relationship definition operation for defining the relationship between the condition C and other conditions includes, for example, an operation of moving the input display H3 of the selection input type related to the condition C. For example, in FIG. 5, the input display H3 of the selection input type relating to the condition C is arranged outside the area surrounded by the frame line L2. The user performs a selection input related to the condition C by moving the selection input type display H3 related to the condition C using the input unit 20A on the screen shown in FIG. 5 displayed on the display 30A. The expression input display H3 can be moved into a region surrounded by a frame line L2 as shown in FIG. Then, as a result of such a moving operation on the input display H3 of the selective input expression, the input display H3 of the selective input expression related to the condition C, the condition input area F2a representing the condition Ba, and the condition input area F2b representing the condition Bb Can be arranged and arranged in a region surrounded by the frame line L2 by being connected by a logical operator. In this manner, the condition C is displayed on the display unit 30A as being a condition block in parallel with the conditions Ba and Bb.

  In the information processing system 100 according to the above embodiment, how one condition block called condition C copied from condition B is related to other conditions (condition A, condition B, condition Ba, condition Bb). Is clearly displayed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a user who edits the input display from editing the input display to an unintended content. It is also possible to prevent a user who uses the input display from inputting an unintended combination of conditions.

(4-5)
In the information processing system 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the output unit 210 selects and connects condition A and condition B by selecting a logical product or logical sum as an initial screen before the input display editing operation. An input display H1 of a selection input expression to be selected, an input display H2 of a selection input expression for selecting and connecting conditions Ba and Bb by selecting a logical product or a logical sum, and a condition B is a condition A It is displayed on the display unit 30A that it is one conditional block in a parallel relationship. In other words, in the information processing system 100 according to the above embodiment, when the operation mode of the server 200 is switched to the mode for creating the operation authority setting processing program, the output unit 210 uses the condition A and the condition B as the initial screen. The input display H1 of the selection input formula that selects and connects the logical product or the logical sum, and connects the condition Ba and the condition Bb by selecting the logical product or the logical sum, and the condition combination An input display H2 of the selection input type to be displayed and that the condition B is one condition block in parallel with the condition A are displayed on the display unit 30A.

  In the information processing system 100 according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, when neither the condition A nor the condition B is displayed on the display unit 30A or only the condition A is displayed before the input display editing operation, The user who edits the input display intuitively understands what display can be displayed on the display unit 30A as a result of the input display editing operation (what combination of conditions can be created). Is easy and operability is high.

  Note that when neither the condition A nor the condition B is displayed on the display unit 30A, the condition input area F1 representing the condition A and the input display H2 for the selection input formula relating to the condition B are both displayed on the display unit 30A. This means that it is not displayed. The case where only the condition A is displayed means the case where the input display H2 of the selection input formula relating to the condition B is not displayed on the display unit 30A.

(4-6)
In the information processing system 100 according to the above embodiment, the output unit 210 scrolls the screen to display all of the input display on the display unit 30A when not all of the input display can be displayed on the display unit 30A. It is possible to display (see FIGS. 9A and 9B).

  In the information processing system 100 according to the above-described embodiment, the entire display for input is displayed on the display unit 30A by scrolling the screen, instead of causing the display for input to be compressed and displayed on the display unit 30A. Therefore, the input display displayed on the display unit 30A is easy to see and has good workability.

(4-7)
The information processing system 100 according to the above embodiment includes a whole image generation unit 264. The entire image generation unit 264 generates an entire image G for collectively displaying information having the same contents as all of the input displays displayed on the display unit 30A on the display unit 30A.

  In the information processing system 100 according to the embodiment, information having the same contents as all of the input displays displayed on the display unit 30A can be collectively displayed on the display unit 30A. Therefore, the user can easily confirm whether there is an error in the work content.

(5) Modifications Modifications of the above embodiment are shown below. The modified examples may be appropriately combined as long as they do not contradict each other.

(5-1) Modification A
In the above embodiment, the server 200 also functions as a database server that manages the database 300. However, it is not limited to this.

  For example, the information processing system 100 may include a database server that manages the database 300 separately from the server 200.

  Further, the database 300 may be managed by a database server external to the information processing system 100 connected to the server 200 constituting the information processing system 100 via the network 50.

(5-2) Modification B
In the above embodiment, the user of the information processing system 100 uses the information processing system 100 from the user terminals 10A, 10B, and 10C, but is not limited to this.

  For example, instead of using the information processing system 100 using the input unit 20A and the display unit 30A of the user terminal 10A, the user uses the information processing system 100 using the input unit 230 and the display unit 240 of the server 200. May be. In this case, the server 200 configuring the information processing system 100 may not be configured to be communicable with the user terminals 10A, 10B, and 10C via the network 50. In other words, the information processing system 100 is configured by a stand-alone computer that executes processing as described in the above-described embodiment by causing the CPU to read software stored in the hard disk into the memory and execute it. Also good.

(5-3) Modification C
In the above embodiment, when the user creates the operation authority setting processing program, the output unit 210 of the server 200 selects the logical product or logical sum of the conditions A and B on the display unit of the user terminal. A selection input type input display H1 that is connected and used as a condition combination, and a selection input type input display H2 that is selected and connected as a condition combination by selecting the logical product or logical sum of the conditions Ba and Bb A screen for creating a setting processing program for displaying that the condition B is one condition block in parallel with the condition A is displayed. However, the output unit 210 of the server 200 may display a screen having the same characteristics on the display unit of the user terminal other than when the user creates the operation authority setting processing program.

  For example, in the information processing system 100, the output unit 210 may display a screen having the same characteristics on the display unit of the user terminal when a program for information search processing is created. The information search process refers to, for example, a process of finding information satisfying a predetermined condition from information registered in the DB table 310 of the database 300 of the server 200.

  Further, in the information processing system 100, the output unit 210 inputs a selection input formula that selects and connects the condition A and the condition B by selecting the logical product or the logical sum on the information search operation screen. The display J1 for the selection, the input display J2 of the selection input formula that connects the condition Ba and the condition Bb by selecting the logical product or the logical sum, and makes the condition combination, and the condition B is in parallel with the condition A May be displayed on the display unit 30A (see FIG. 11). Here, the information search processing program is already stored in the storage unit 250 of the information processing system 100, and the user does not need to create a program. For this reason, the information search operation screen is configured not to accept an input display editing operation. On the information search operation screen, the user can only input to the condition input area F1 representing the condition A, the condition input area F2a representing the condition Ba, and the condition input area F2b representing the condition Bb.

  By using such an information search operation screen, the user can clearly recognize the relationship between the condition A and the condition B and the relationship between the condition A, the condition Ba, and the condition Bb. It is possible to prevent information retrieval under different conditions.

  The information processing system is an information processing system that displays on a display unit a selection input type input display in which condition A and condition B are connected by selecting a logical product or a logical sum and connecting them. This information processing system is useful because even a user who is not familiar with information processing can easily define a complicated combination of conditions and prevent the user from specifying an incorrect combination of conditions.
