Next, a specific example by the telephone screen design unit will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 5, the screen sheet editor of this embodiment targets three files, a screen sheet file, a project file and a form file, for editing. The multifunction telephone application program created by the screen sheet editor is treated as a so-called "project" composed of one or more form files. When the application program is composed of multiple form files, it is handled as a project to simplify the overall management. The form file has an extension such as. It is an SHT file and is a single screen displayed on a large liquid crystal display. The screen sheet file has an extension such as. It is a TLS file and is a file in which the numbers and contents corresponding to each form file are collected. The extension of the project file is, for example. A PRJ text file, which is the name of the form files that make up the project,
The name of the screen sheet file created by the application, the update history of the screen sheet file, the information (comment) about the project file, and the like are recorded.

Next, each element that constitutes the screen is
Treated as a cell. As shown in FIG. 6, unlike the cells of the spreadsheet software, one cell spans the X coordinate. This is, for example, 40 × in this system.
This is because it is based on a fixed matrix of 14, but there is no need to be aware of it when editing. With respect to this cell, the function is determined for the type (name). For example, "Initial" displays text that the user cannot directly input or change, "Display" displays text that cannot be directly input or changed by the user, or can be assigned to a cell or executed by a macro. , "Input" is left-justified text input and display, "Numeric input" is right-justified numeric input and display, "Password" is text input without echo back, and "Item selection" is placement of multiple items in one line. A possible option, “row selection” has a function such as an option of arranging only one item per line.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example of use of cells on the display screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, “*** EO” is used.
"S ordering system ***", "Store code:", "Password:", "Store name:" indicates that the cell type is "Initial", and the store code number "1234" indicates that the cell type is "Numeric input".
The password "-" indicates that the cell type is "password".
For the store names "Shinjuku West Exit", "A message from the main store is entered.", "Are you sure?", The cell type is "Display", and "Yes" and "No" are for the cell. The type indicates "item selection".

Further, the cell is constituted by a predetermined attribute for each type. FIG. 8 explains the attributes of the cells of the embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, for each type of cell, cell numbers automatically assigned from the first to the nth in the order of creation, the left edge of the cell X coordinate (1
〜40), the Y coordinate (1-14) that is the row number of the cell, the cell length (1-40), the type of function, the initial value or the assigned value, and the assigned macro number. Indicates mandatory setting, “◯” indicates that setting is possible, “Δ” indicates automatic setting, and “x” indicates non-setting.

The editor screen is divided into three screens, that is, a main screen which is a cell edit screen, a simulation edit screen, and a project file view edit screen, and each window is composed. The main screen includes a telephone window, an attribute window, a cell window, and a macro window, the simulation edit screen includes a simulation window and a macro view window, and the project file view edit screen includes a view window.

FIG. 9 is a view for explaining an example of the main screen of the embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, the main screen 71 has a menu bar 72 on the upper side and a telephone window 7 on the lower left side thereof.
3 、 Attribute window 74 and cell window 7 on the right
5, the file name 76 on the lower side of the main screen 71, the function key 77 on the lower side, "**" in the telephone window 73
A cell 78 is displayed in the “menu ***” and a cursor 79 is displayed in the last “*”. The menu bar 72 displays the menu name of the application, and in the figure, as a menu for the main screen, file (F), edit (E), screen sheet file (R), other (T), *
Help (H) is displayed. Telephone window 73
Is a phone screen sheet for editing cells, and has a width of 4
The area is 0 × vertical 14 and the 14th row is a reserved area for function keys, and cells can be freely set in other portions. When a cell is set, the color for each attribute changes, and the screen status can be grasped at a glance. In the attribute window 74, the current cursor position and mode are displayed, and in the figure, a cell having attributes of type "initial" and ruled line "none" is created.
The cell window 75 displays the attributes of the cell 78 when the cursor 79 is over the cell 78. The file name 76 displays the file name currently being edited, and if the file name is undefined, nothing is displayed. The figure shows that the currently edited project is "c: entery.prj" and the currently edited form is "c: ent main.sht". The function key 77 displays the function of the function key in the application. The cursor moves within the phone window 73 to set the position for creating and editing cells.

The commands of the editor are grouped for each menu, and the menu name is displayed in the menu bar at the top of the screen. The menu name displayed on the menu bar varies depending on the screen you are working on. For example, on the cell edit screen (main screen) the main memory, on the macro edit screen, the macro menu, on the simulation edit screen, the simulation memory, and on the project file view edit screen, Each project file view menu is displayed. Each menu shows a tree structure. 10 shows an example of the main memory, FIG. 11 shows a macro menu, FIG. 12 shows an example of the simulation memory, and FIG. 13 shows an example of the project file view menu.

A macro statement can be used to write a program when a screen is loaded, a program when a cell is selected, or a calculation expression is to be assigned to a cell. Macro statements are expressed by macro functions, arithmetic expressions, cell names, etc. A macro function is a mathematical formula prepared in advance for executing an application on the multi-function telephone side,
A complicated application can be easily executed by simply substituting a numerical value or cell number for the function. An example macro statement is expressed as cell (0,2) = cell (0,0) + cell (0,1) * 100. This indicates that the value of the cell at coordinates (0,0) and the value of the cell at coordinates (0,1) are multiplied by 100 to obtain the value of the cell at coordinates (0,2). .

As for how to use the function, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, when “Code (C) → Paste function (T)” is called from the menu of the macro editing screen, pull-down menus are displayed for each type of function. Is displayed, and by selecting "File Function", its menu is displayed,
You can use it for macro editing by selecting "dial" in it.

Next, an operation example of the telephone screen sheet editor having the above configuration will be described.

First, the present system is started on a general-purpose disk operating system. By making the database requester resident in the memory, the main screen of the telephone screen sheet editor as shown in FIG. 9 is displayed.

Next, the screen sheet is created by arranging the positions of the cells actually output to the screen. First, use the arrow keys to move to the position where you want to create the cell. Next, the attribute of the cell to be created is selected with the function key (F4 key). When the F4 key is pressed, the cell type of the attribute window changes. When pressed too much, shift and F4 key return to the previous attribute. After confirming the position and attribute, press the return key once to display the back of the cursor position in reverse video. This highlighted portion is where the cells can be edited. When inputting Japanese, the front end processor (FEP) is started. When you input the contents you want to edit and press the return key, the highlighted display disappears, and a cell is created. When you move the cursor to the position of the created cell, the cell window display changes, which is the attribute of the created cell.

Next, when the cell is arranged, the program executed by the cell is described. This program is a macro. To create a macro, first move the cursor over the cell where you want to edit the macro. Next, when the function key (F8 key) is pressed, a macro window for macro editing is opened, and the menu bar and function key display are changed to those for macro. FIG. 15 shows an example of a macro editing screen, which is a 100 × 100 vertical window for text editing. Next, enter a macro statement. After editing, select "File-> Save and Return" from the menu.
Select (or F10 key). The macro can be created by the above. Similarly, macros are assigned to other cells. If you have already created a macro, you can assign it as is, or copy and edit it. In the display example of FIG. 15, a macro for loading the screen of sheet number 1 is assigned to the cell “1. Selection A”.

Next, the created screen is saved before execution. Information for one screen is stored in one form file. When this form file is saved, the project file that saves the information of the entire project is automatically saved. That is, first, “File → Save Form” is selected from the menu. Next, enter the form file name and project file name respectively, and the extension is *. sht and *. prj
And When the save is complete, the filename you entered appears at the bottom of the phone window.

Next, a screen sheet file is created. It is this screen sheet file that is actually written in the multifunction telephone and executes the application, and one record of this sheet file corresponds to one screen. First, when one screen is created, it is converted into a sheet file as one record. Select "Screen Sheet File-> Create Record" from the menu. Next, enter the screen sheet file name and its extension is *. tls. This file name is also stored in the project file as project information, and after the second time, this information is searched and the file is automatically called. Next, enter a 10-digit number as the sheet number. This number does not matter in the order in which it is called because it calls the screen as an argument of the macro load function. However, the number 0000000000 is the screen (first screen) that is initially read and is assigned to the startup screen and the main menu. Next, if the sheet file can be saved, the simulation can be executed.

Next, after checking all macro statements and the like in the simulation, the screen sheet file is transferred to the multifunction telephone. This transfer is transmitted for each store, for example. That is, first, by selecting “screen sheet file → file transfer” from the menu, the store selection screen is displayed, and the store of the transfer destination is selected and executed. When the normal termination message is displayed, the screen sheet file is transferred to the multi-function phone and the application can be executed.
