Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily and effectively designate a resource name by displaying a 2nd name corresponding to a 1st name contained in a correspondence table, correcting the 2nd name into a name that is designated the correction input, and designating a pair of the 1st and 2nd names as a processing subject. CONSTITUTION:A subject resource is designated in the form of a pair of a function name, i.e., a 1st name and a file name, i.e., a 2nd name. A computer 1 reads out a function name list and then displays an initial screen of a correspondence list. The file name designation input or the designation end input of a prescribed form is accepted and identified. Then a file name is corrected by the input with designation of a file name and at the same time this corrected name is displayed. Thus the file name is corrected, and the file names are alphabetically rearranged in the table. Thus the display of file names is changed. Then the designation is accepted for a processing subject designated by a file name, and the designation of a pair of a designated file name and a function name corresponding to the display is displayed with designation of a file name.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] A resource name specification process that enables easy and efficient specification when specifying a required pair of two types of resources regarding processing target specification processing in a computer. A method for specifying a processing target of a computer by inputting it from a display device of the computer, and specifying the processing target by a pair of a first name of a first group and a second name of a second group. In this case, the calculator creates a correspondence table configured to show the correspondence between the first name and the second name, and the second name corresponding to each first name on the correspondence table, displaying the second name on the display device as the same as the first name, and correcting the second name specified on the display by a predetermined correction input to the name specified by the correction input;
A pair of first and second names specified on the modified display by inputting a predetermined instruction is configured to specify the processing target.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a process for specifying a processing target in a computer, and particularly to a resource name specifying process method when specifying a required pair of two types of resources.

[Conventional technology]

In processing by a computer, there are cases where the processing target needs to be specified as a required pair of a first type of resource and a second type of resource.

For example, in program development, when a program is generated from function design information, the design information for each function is created sequentially for each function, registered with a name corresponding to each function name, and then Create a file for each function or a group of functions to create a program from them. For this purpose, it is necessary to specify the processing target as a pair of each necessary function name and file name.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a computer system. The computer 1 is assumed to process required data in an external storage device 3 according to instructions inputted from a display device 2 having an input function. In such a case, after the user starts the necessary program from the display device 2, for example, as shown in FIG. (b)
Specify rAAAJ, rABXJ, etc. as in the example below. Note that the underlined portion in the figure is information input by the user.

Also, it is easier for users to think from the function name, so
Considering this and reducing the number of operations, Figure 3 (C)
The following specification method may also be used.

In other words, in order to receive specified input, the started program must:
First, retrieve the list of function names from the external storage device 3,
Sort alphabetically and display as shown in (C).

Therefore, the user specifies the name of the function to be processed that should be grouped into one file by pointing with a cursor or the like. (d) in the figure shows an example in which "*" is displayed in the function name specified in this way.

After specifying the function name, input the file name rAAAJ for the file name adjustment, as shown in (e).

In both of the above two examples, when processing a plurality of files, the above input operation is repeated for each file.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

According to the above input operation example, it is necessary to repeat the same input operation from the beginning for each resource such as a file, which makes the operation complicated. Also, as shown in the example above, there are many cases where the same name is used for the names to be associated (AAA for the function name and file name in the example), but even in that case, the function name or file name must be input.

The present invention provides the following advantages when specifying a required pair of two types of resources:
The object of the present invention is to provide a resource name designation processing method that allows designation to be performed easily and efficiently.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 is a process flowchart showing the configuration of the present invention.

The figure shows the configuration of the resource name designation processing method, in which the processing target of a computer is input and designated from the display device of the computer, and the processing target is specified by the first name of the first group and the second name of the second group. If specified in pairs with the name of
The correspondence table configured to show the correspondence between the first name and the second name is created by the second name corresponding to each first name on the correspondence table.
display on the display device the same name as the first name, and display the second name specified on the display by a predetermined correction input in processing step 11 as the name specified by the correction input. In processing step 12, the pair of first and second names specified on the corrected display by inputting a predetermined instruction is designated as the processing target.

[For production]

With this processing method, the user can
In the name field, just edit the name that is different from the first name, and then specify the second name you need with a cursor, etc.
Multiple necessary files to be processed can be specified all at once using a single screen.

[Embodiment] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the processing flow of an embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the conventional example, the first name is the function name, and the second name is the file name. It is assumed that the resource to be processed is specified by a pair of names, and when the computer reads out the function name list in processing step 20, it displays the initial screen of the correspondence table in processing step 21.

This initial screen is an explanatory diagram of the display screen shown in FIG.
As in the example shown in a), function names sorted in alphabetical order are displayed with the same contents in the function name column and the file name column.

Next, in processing step 22, if a file name specification input or specification end input in a predetermined format is accepted, processing step 23
If the file name is specified, process step 24
At step 22, the file name is corrected according to the input, the correction is displayed, and the process returns to step 22 to wait for the next input.

In this way, the file name is corrected as shown in Figure 4 (C) (the underlined part in the figure), and when the specification end input is received, in processing step 25, the file name is changed as shown in Figure 4 (C). By rearranging the correspondence table according to the alpha head of the file name, the display is changed so that the file name can be easily found with the next specification, and the function names corresponding to the same file name are grouped together.

Next, in processing step 26, the designation of the processing target specified by the file name designation is accepted. The specification may be made, for example, by placing a cursor at the position of the required file name and inputting a predetermined signal.

When this input is accepted in processing step 26, it is identified in processing step 27, and if a file name is specified, in processing step 28, a pair of the file name specified according to the input and the corresponding function name in the correspondence table is determined. All files are accepted as being specified as processing targets, and an asterisk (*) is added to the left of the specified file name to indicate that it has been specified, as shown in FIG. 4(d).

In this way, one or more necessary file names are manually specified, and when a predetermined specification end input is received, the process of accepting and accepting inputs for specifying processing targets is completed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, when specifying a processing target in a computer, a required pair of two types of resources can be specified easily and efficiently. effective.
