Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention provides a method for interactively processing data input/output, data processing, etc. with a user, by substituting numerical values, etc. into a tabular area, for example. The present invention relates to a data processing device that can perform spreadsheet processing for calculations.

Conventional technology When a user performs some kind of processing on a collection of data between a user and a device that performs input/output/data processing, etc., the data collection to be processed is specified, and then the details of the processing are specified. The user performs a series of procedures.

Therefore, conventionally, the device has suspended processing from the time the user specifies a collection of data to be processed until the user specifies the content of the process.

To be more specific, when this type of data processing device performs calculations and processing on tabular data, for example, does it specify the area to be processed and then add the data in that area? It was necessary to give an instruction as to whether the data should be calculated or copied to another common memory. Then, when a command is specified by the operator, processing according to the specified command is executed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a device, the device does not process after the user specifies a collection of data to be processed until the user specifies the content of the process. From the user's point of view, the available resources are being stopped uselessly, and it is no longer possible to obtain a quick response from the device.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention stores a plurality of commands and weight data for each command, and after the data to be processed is specified, the specified data is It consists of processing means that performs processing according to the command with the highest weight.

Effect: With this configuration, when the data to be processed is specified, the data processing device executes the processing without waiting for the processing specification.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a data processing apparatus in an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is an input/output control device that controls data input from the user; 2 is a process identification device that identifies the content of the process specified by the user (for example, whether it is a process target specification or a process specification); 3 is a device for recording the type of processing actually specified by the user and determining the processing expected to be specified by the user next; 4 is a data storage device; and 5 is a device for recording the type of processing actually specified by the user. A process comparison device 6 is a central processing unit that compares a specified process with a previously predicted process.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram showing the configuration of this embodiment. Here, 7 is a display device such as a CRT, which displays input data and the like. 8 is an input device for inputting data and commands. A printing device 9 prints data. 1
0 is a processing circuit that performs arithmetic operations and judgments according to a control program according to the flowchart of FIG. 3, and controls each device.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a so-called read-only memory, which includes a program storage area 11a in which a control program according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 is stored.

Reference numeral 12 designates a rewritable so-called Kundam access memory, which includes a data storage area 12a that stores a plurality of files serving as data to be processed, and a data storage area 12a that stores various commands and weight data for each command. It has a command frequency storage area 12b that stores usage frequency data, and a shared data storage area 12c that stores common data for each file.

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart showing the control procedure of this embodiment.

First, in step S1, when the user specifies data to be processed, in step S2, the command frequency storage area 12b is referred to, the most frequently executed command is selected, and the process is executed one by one. The contents are stored in the storage device 4. At this time, if it is determined in step S3 whether or not there is a command designated by the user, the process proceeds to step S6, and if not, it is determined in step S4 and the process of step S2 is continued until the process is completed.

If there is no command specified by the user when the prediction process is completed, the process waits until a command is specified in step S6. When a process specification is received from the user in step S5, the prediction process and the user specified process are compared in step S6, and if they are equal, the process moves to step S7, and if the prediction process is not completed, the rest of the process is executed. . If they are not equal, the process moves to step S9 and a user designation process is executed. Finally, step S
In step 8, the type of command to be predicted to be executed next is calculated. After updating the frequency data in the command frequency storage area of the actually executed commands, the command with the highest weight is selected based on each frequency data.

The operation of the data processing apparatus configured as above will be explained. First, data input from an input device is stored in the data storage area 12a. Assume that this data is tabular data and the operator specifies a certain column of the tabular data (step S1). Commands that can be executed next include a copy command to copy specified data to the shared data storage area 120, an insert command to input new data below the specified data and secure an area, and an average value of the specified data. If there are four average commands for calculating the total value of designated data, or average commands for calculating the total value of specified data, the weight data of each command is compared and executed in step S2. For example, if the copy command has the highest weight, the specified data is copied to the common data storage area 12C. When this process is completed, a command input from the operator is waited for in step S5, and if the input command is a copy command, the process goes through steps 87 to S8 and ends; however, if the command from the operator is an average command Although the specified command and the executed command are different, the calculation of the average value of the data string specified here is executed again, the frequency data of the average command is updated, and the process ends.

In the above description, data on execution frequency is used as the weight data, but weight data may be assigned such that the more recently used the command, the greater the weight, instead of the frequency.

Further, in the above description, the command is described as a copy command, etc., but the present invention is not limited to this, and is executed after the word processor finishes creating a document. The present invention is also effective for commands such as save commands and print commands.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, the present invention stores a plurality of commands and weight data for each command, and after specifying the data to be processed, selects the data with the highest weight for the specified data. Since the processing is performed according to the command, the processing can be performed even before the command is specified by the operator, and the probability that this preceding processing is against the operator's wishes is small. It is possible to provide fewer data processing devices.
