Abstract

[PROBLEMS] A user can surely perform an operation on a modal dialog panel generated independently without using a screen management processing unit, and the system hangs up because the modal dialog panel cannot be operated by the user. There are provided a program execution device, a control method therefor, and a program that can prevent such a situation.
A program execution apparatus 101 determines that a modal dialog panel is independently generated by a generation method determination unit 209 regardless of control of a screen management processing unit 203. The program display order determination unit 211 determines that the GUI screen of the program that has requested the generation of the generated modal dialog panel is not at the top of the GUI display area 405 of the display device 104. At this time, the display control unit 212 temporarily holds the display of the generated modal dialog panel on the display device 104.

Description

  The present invention relates to a program execution device, a control method thereof, and a program, and more particularly, to a program execution device that executes a program using a modal dialog panel, a control method thereof, and a program.

  Conventionally, a modal dialog panel is displayed when a user is informed of a system error or warning and is urged to perform some processing. In the case of a modal dialog panel, the displayed modal dialog is processed, and other processes cannot be performed unless the modal dialog panel is closed. In addition, in devices with a small screen size, such as embedded devices, when multiple programs are executed simultaneously, generation and display of dialog panels displayed on the screen and switching of program screens are controlled under the control of the screen display manager or the like. I was going.

  For example, there is one that allows a user to use an “escape key” to cancel or remove an undesirable modal dialog panel displayed by an applet from the screen (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In addition, when a modal dialog panel is displayed on the parent screen, there is one that changes the background color of the parent screen to clearly indicate that the parent screen cannot be input (see, for example, Patent Document 2). ). In this way, the user is informed that the parent screen cannot be visually input.

  However, in the above conventional example, various problems occur when a dialog panel is generated and displayed independently of the control under the management of the screen display manager. For example, since the operation is performed while switching the screen of the program, the modal dialog panel generated and displayed by the hidden program hidden behind the screen cannot be operated behind the other program. In this case, there is a drawback that the illusion is as if the system is hung up.

  As a solution to this problem, there may be a method of always displaying the modal dialog panel which the program hidden behind is trying to display at the front. However, this method has a drawback that it is difficult for the user to know which program is displayed, and therefore what kind of processing should be performed.

  As another solution, when a modal dialog panel is to be displayed, a method of automatically switching the program screen to the foreground can be considered. However, this method has a drawback that the screen of the program is suddenly switched for the user who is operating the screen, resulting in confusion for the user.

  An object of the present invention is to enable a user to reliably perform an operation on a modal dialog panel generated independently without using a screen management processing unit. A further object is to prevent the system from appearing to hang up because the modal dialog panel cannot be operated by the user.

  In order to achieve the above object, the program execution device according to claim 1 is a program execution device that simultaneously executes a plurality of programs, and displays a GUI screen of the plurality of programs and a modal dialog panel in a superimposed manner. A program management apparatus comprising: a screen management processing unit that performs GUI control of the plurality of programs; and a program execution processing unit that executes processing of the plurality of programs based on the GUI control. A modal dialog panel original generation unit that independently generates a modal dialog panel requested to be generated from one of a plurality of programs without going through the screen management processing unit, and execution of the program when a generation notification is generated The screen further comprises a generation notification transmission means for transmitting to the processing unit. The physical processing unit generates a modal dialog panel generation unit that generates a modal dialog panel requested to be generated from another one of the plurality of programs, and transmits a generation notification to the program execution processing unit when the generation is performed. And a generation notification transmission unit that performs the generation process of the modal dialog panel of the specified program, the program execution processing unit includes: a specifying unit that specifies a specified program from the plurality of programs; A generation method determination unit that determines whether the image is generated under control or independently generated without using the image management processing unit, and a program having the highest display order of the GUI screen is determined. Program display order determination means, and display control means for controlling the screen display of the display unit, wherein the generation notification is the When transmitted to the program execution processing unit, the specifying unit specifies the specified program based on the generation notification, and the display control unit is configured such that the generation method determining unit sets the modal dialog panel of the specified program to the screen management. Generated by the generation request when it is determined that the program is generated independently without going through the processing unit, and the display order of the GUI screen of the designated program is determined not to be the highest. The display of the modal dialog panel is temporarily suspended.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, a user can operate reliably with respect to the modal dialog panel produced | generated independently without going through a screen management process part. Furthermore, since the modal dialog panel cannot be operated by the user, it is possible to prevent the system from appearing to be hung up.

  Preferably, when the display order of the GUI screen is reset, the program determined that the GUI screen is at the top is designated as the designated program, and the top GUI screen is controlled to be switched to the GUI screen of the designated program. To do. At the same time, when the modal dialog panel of the designated program is temporarily suspended, this modal dialog panel is displayed on the display unit. This makes it possible to display the modal dialog panel that has been temporarily suspended at a timing that does not confuse the user operation.

  Each time the program execution processing unit 208 receives a generation notification, the program execution processing unit 208 sets the program name included therein as the program name of the designated program. Thereafter, the generation method determination unit 209 obtains the determination result of the designated program generation method, and the program display order determination unit 211 obtains the determination result of whether or not the display order of the GUI screen of the designated program is first. To do. Next, when the determination result is uniquely generated without going through the screen management processing unit 203 and the display order is not the top, the display device of the modal dialog panel generated by the generation request The display on the display 104 is temporarily held by the display control means 212.

  Thereafter, when the display order of the GUI screen of the program for which the display of the modal dialog panel is temporarily held becomes the top, the program execution processing unit 208 performs display control of the temporarily held modal dialog panel. .

  Furthermore, when receiving the switching notification from the screen switching notification unit 214, the program execution processing unit 208 includes a display order setting unit 215 that sets the display order of the GUI screen of each application program based on the notification content. Further, the program execution processing unit 208 includes a message display unit 216 that instructs the display control unit 212 to display a message to that effect when the generated modal dialog panel is temporarily suspended.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of generation method information stored in the external storage device 106 by the generation information storage unit 210 in FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the external storage device 106 stores generation method information 301 and 302 including the program name of each application program that has made a request for generating a modal dialog panel to the central processing unit 102 and the generation method of the modal dialog panel. To do.

  Specifically, the generation method information 301 is information including a program name “APL1” and a generation method “generated via the screen management processing unit 203”. The generation method information 302 is information including a program name “APL2” and a generation method “generation without going through the screen management processing unit 203”.

  In the present embodiment, only the generation method information relating to each application program for which a request for generating a modal dialog panel is sent to the central processing unit 102 is stored in the external storage device 106. However, the present invention is not limited to this mode. is not. For example, the generation method information of the application program APL3 that has been activated but has not requested to generate a modal dialog panel may be stored. In this case, the external storage device 106 stores generation method information including a program name “APL3” and a generation method “not generated”.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display screen displayed on the display device 104 in FIG.

  In FIG. 4, a display screen 401 displayed on the entire display device 104 displays a GUI screen generated by the application programs APL1, APL2, and APL3 currently executed by the central processing unit 102 so that the user can be switched by GUI control. .

  Specifically, the display screen 401 includes buttons 402, 403, and 404 indicating application programs that are currently activated, and a GUI display area 405 that displays the GUI screens of the application programs in a superimposed manner. In addition, the display screen 401 includes a system status display button 407 that displays a system status when the user presses the screen.

  In addition, the GUI display area 405 displays a modal dialog panel 406 on (in front of) the GUI screen displayed in a superimposed manner.

  Buttons 402, 403, and 404 display program names APL1, APL2, and APL3, which are one of the active application programs, respectively. When any of the buttons 402, 403, and 404 is selected by the user, the display is reversed in black and white so that the button is selected. Buttons 402, 403, and 404 are displayed so as to be switchable in a selected state by user selection again. Here, FIG. 4 shows a case where the button 402 is in a selected state.

  The GUI display area 405 displays the GUI screen of the application program in which the program name is displayed on the user-selected button at the top, and the GUI screen of the application program displayed on the other unselected buttons. Hide behind it. When the screen information of the modal dialog panel is transmitted from the central processing unit 102, the GUI display area 405 displays the modal dialog panel 406 on the forefront. Here, in FIG. 4, since the button 402 is selected, the GUI screen of the application program APL1 is displayed at the top in the GUI display area 405. Further, since the screen information of the modal dialog panel generated by the application program APL1 is transmitted from the central processing unit 102, the modal dialog panel 406 is displayed in the forefront of the GUI display area 405.

  Next, the flow of the modal dialog panel display process executed by the program execution device 101 in FIG. 1 will be described. These processes are performed by the central processing unit 102 reading the program codes of the application programs APL1 and APL2 stored in the main storage device 103 and executing the program codes. Further, this program code describes the modal dialog panel display processing of FIGS. 5 and 6 to be described later.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the modal dialog panel display process executed by the program execution device 101 in FIG.

  First, in FIG. 5, when there is a request for generating a modal dialog panel from one of the currently activated application programs (YES in step S501), the generation request content is analyzed. Thereafter, based on the analysis result, it is determined whether or not the modal dialog panel requested to be generated is generated via the image management processing unit 203 (step S502).

  As a result of the determination in step S502, when it is generated via the screen management processing unit 203, the modal dialog panel generation unit 204 generates a modal dialog panel (step S503). Thereafter, the modal dialog panel generation notification unit 205 transmits a generation notification including generation method information for the application program that has made the generation request to the program execution processing unit 208 (step S504).

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S502 is that the screen is generated without going through the screen management processing unit 203, the modal dialog panel unique generation unit 206 generates a modal dialog panel (step S505). Thereafter, the modal dialog panel unique generation notification unit 207 transmits a generation notification including generation method information about the application program that has made the generation request to the program execution processing unit 208 (step S506).

  Next, when receiving the generation notification by the processes of steps S503 and S505 (YES in step S507), the program execution processing unit 208 sets the designated program based on the generation notification (step S508). Specifically, in this process, the program in the generation method information included in the generation notification is set as the designated program.

  Thereafter, the generation information storage unit 210 registers the generation method information included in the generation notification received in step S506 in the external storage device 106 (step S509).

  Next, the generation method determination unit 209 determines whether the modal dialog panel of the specified program is generated under the control of the screen management processing unit 203 or generated independently without using the screen management processing unit 203. (Step S510). This process is performed by acquiring the generation method included in the generation notification received in step S506.

  As a result of the determination in step S510, when a modal dialog panel is generated under the control of the screen management processing unit 203, the display control means 212 controls to display the generated modal dialog panel on the forefront of the GUI display area 405. (Step S511). Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S510, when the modal dialog panel is independently generated without going through the screen management processing unit 203, the program display order determining unit 211 determines whether the display order of the GUI screen of the designated program is highest. It is determined whether or not (step S512).

  If the result of determination in step S512 is the top, the process proceeds to step S511, and the display control unit 212 controls the display device 104 to display the generated modal dialog panel on the forefront of the GUI display area 405. Then, this process ends.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S512 is not the top, display of the generated modal dialog panel on the display device 104 is temporarily suspended by the display control means 212 (step S513), and this process ends. .

  According to the process of FIG. 5, when receiving the generation notification (step S507), the program execution apparatus 101 sets a designated program based on the generation notification (step S508). The generation method determination unit 209 determines that the modal dialog panel of the specified program is generated independently without going through the screen management processing unit 203 (NO in step S510). The program display order determination unit 211 determines that the GUI screen of the specified program is not at the top of the GUI display area 405 of the display device 104 (NO in step S512). In the above case, the display control unit 212 temporarily holds the display of the generated modal dialog panel on the display device 104 (step S513). Thereby, the user can reliably perform an operation on the modal dialog panel generated independently without using the screen management processing unit 203. Furthermore, since the modal dialog panel cannot be operated by the user, it is possible to prevent the system from appearing to be hung up.

  Further, the generation notification by the processes of steps S503 and S505 includes generation method information including the program name of the application program that has requested generation and the generation method of the modal dialog panel, as described above with reference to FIG. Thereby, the setting process of the program name of the designated program in step S508 and the determination process by the generation method determination unit 209 in step S510 can be reliably performed.

  Furthermore, generation method information is registered in the external storage device 106 each time a new modal dialog panel is generated by the processing in step S509. Thereby, the generation method determination means 209 can reliably determine whether or not the modal dialog panel of the current designated program is temporarily held based on the registered generation method information.

  Specifically, the generation method determination unit 209 displays the modal dialog of the specified program when the generation method of the specified program registered in the external storage device 106 is “Generate without using the screen management processing unit 203”. The panel determines that it is on hold. On the other hand, when the generation method of the designated program registered in the external storage device 106 is “generate via the screen management processing unit 203”, it is determined that the modal dialog panel of the designated program is not temporarily suspended.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the modal dialog panel display process at the time of screen switching executed by the program execution apparatus 101.

  In FIG. 6, first, when the user performs selection button switching of the buttons 402, 403, and 404 in FIG. 4, the screen switching unit 213 generates a screen switching instruction based on the button switching (step S602). Here, the screen switching instruction includes the program name displayed on the user-selected button and information indicating that the GUI screen of the program is switched to the top. Next, the screen switching notification means 214 transmits a screen switching notification including information on the generated screen switching instruction to the program execution processing unit 208 (step S602).

  When the program execution processing unit 208 receives the screen switching notification (YES in step S603), the display order setting unit 215 resets the display order of the GUI screen of each currently activated application program (step S604). This process is performed based on the screen switching instruction information included in the screen switching notification.

  Next, the program display order determination unit 211 determines the application program whose display order is the highest after resetting the display order (step S605). The application program at the top is set as a designated program for performing the following processing (step S606).

  Thereafter, the display control means 212 controls to switch the GUI screen at the top of the GUI display area 405 to the GUI screen of the designated program (step S607).

  Next, the generation method determination unit 209 determines whether or not the modal dialog panel of the specified program is temporarily suspended (step S608).

  If the result of determination in step S608 is that the modal dialog panel of the designated program is not temporarily suspended, this processing is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if the result of determination in step S608 is that the modal dialog panel of the specified program is temporarily suspended, the display control means 212 controls the display control means 212 to display the modal dialog panel on the forefront of the GUI display area 405 ( Step S609). Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  According to the processing in FIG. 6, the program execution apparatus 101 performs the following processing when the display order of the GUI screen is reset by user button switching (steps S <b> 601 to S <b> 604). In other words, the application program with the highest GUI screen display order is set as the designated program (steps S605 and S606). The top GUI screen is switched to the GUI screen of the designated program (step S607). At the same time, when the modal dialog panel of the designated program is temporarily suspended (YES in step S608), the modal dialog panel is displayed in the forefront (step S609). As a result, the modal dialog panel that has been temporarily suspended can be displayed at a timing that does not confuse the user operation.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a modification of the procedure of the modal dialog panel display process of FIG.

  The processing in FIG. 7 is basically the same as the processing in FIG. 5, the same steps as those in FIG. 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted, and the following differences from the processing in FIG. Only will be described.

  In FIG. 7, when the modal dialog panel is displayed in the forefront of the GUI display area 405 by the process of step S511, it is determined whether or not a message is displayed in a message area 701 of FIG. 8 described later (step S801). ).

  If the message is not displayed as a result of the determination in step S801, the message is not displayed directly when the message is displayed (step S802), and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the display of the generated modal dialog panel is temporarily suspended by the process of step S513, a message indicating that the display of the modal dialog panel is temporarily suspended is displayed in the message area 701 (step S803). . Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  According to the processing of FIG. 7, when the display of the modal dialog panel is temporarily suspended (step S513), a message indicating that the display of the modal dialog panel is temporarily suspended is displayed in the message area 701. (Step S803) Therefore, the user's operation can be prevented from being confused.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display screen 401 when the message in step S803 in FIG. 7 is displayed.

  The display screen 401 in FIG. 8 is displayed when the application program APL1, APL2, APL3 is operating in the program execution processing apparatus 101, and the GUI screen of the application program APL1 is set to the top display order. It is a screen. In this situation, since the application program APL2 has made a generation request, the modal dialog panel generated in the process of step S513 in FIG. 7 is temporarily suspended without being displayed on the display screen 401.

  At this timing, in step S803 of FIG. 7, the display control unit 212 controls the display device 104 so as to display a message “APL2 is about to display a modal dialog panel” in the message area 701.

  As a result, the user can grasp that there is a modal dialog panel that is currently suspended, and which program the modal dialog panel is associated with, and reliably prevent user operations from being confused. be able to.
