  The operation unit 20 is a mouse, a keyboard, or the like, and receives various instructions from the user regarding various operations and processes that can be executed by the information processing apparatus 1.

  The communication unit 30 is a communication interface including a communication module such as a LAN (Local Area Network) chip (not shown). The information processing apparatus 1 is connected to another information processing apparatus such as a PC via a network, and transmits / receives data to / from the PC connected by the communication unit 30.

  The storage unit 40 is a large-capacity storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

  The control unit 100 includes a CPU, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like. The control unit 100 functions as the control unit 101, the operation receiving unit 102, and the window information storage unit 103 when the CPU executes the information processing program stored in the ROM or the storage unit 40. In addition, each said structure of the control unit 100 may be comprised by a hard circuit, respectively, not based on the operation | movement based on the above-mentioned information processing program.

  The window information storage unit 103 stores window information indicating the size and position of each window in the storage unit 40. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the data configuration stored in the storage unit 40 by the window information storage unit 103, and shows the size and position of the window in association with each file, in the upper left corner and the lower right corner. The coordinate position is stored.

  The control unit 101 governs overall operation control of the information processing apparatus 1. The control unit 101 is connected to the display unit 10, the operation unit 20, the communication unit 30, the storage unit 40, and the like, and controls the operation of each of the connected components and signals or data between the components. Send and receive.

  In particular, the control unit 101 serves as a processing unit that executes processing according to an operation received by an operation receiving unit 102 described later. For example, the user inputs an operation for selecting the icon A1 shown in FIG. 2 using the touch panel function provided on the display unit 10 or the operation unit 20, and the operation reception unit 102 receives a selection operation such as a touch operation of the icon A1. In this case, the control unit 101 executes the mail function associated with the icon A1. Specifically, the control unit 101 executes a mail program stored in the storage unit 40 or the like.

  Further, the control unit 101 can display the content indicated by the file stored in the storage unit 40 or the like on the display unit 10 as a window. For example, the control unit 101 uses a document creation program such as Microsoft Word. When the created document file is executed, the contents indicated by the document file are displayed on the display unit 10 as a window.

  The operation reception unit 102 specifies a user operation input by the user based on a detection signal output from the display unit 10 or the operation unit 20 provided with a touch panel function. Then, the operation reception unit 102 receives the specified user operation and outputs a control signal corresponding to the user operation to the control unit 101 or the like.

  Next, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing operation when the information processing program is executed by the control unit 10 of the information processing apparatus 1. This processing operation is executed when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation (predetermined operation) for the icon A4 displayed on the display unit 10. For ease of explanation, the case where windows W1 to W3 are displayed as shown in FIG. 2B will be described as an example.

  When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon A4, the control unit 101 displays window information (specifically, each window W1 to W3) indicating the size and position of the windows W1 to W3 displayed on the display unit 10. The coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner) are acquired (S1), and the acquired window information is stored in the storage unit 40 in association with each file displayed in the windows W1 to W3 (S2).

  Thereafter, the control unit 101 creates icons for executing these files all at once (S3), terminates the display of the windows W1 to W3 (S4), and causes the display unit 10 to display the created icons (S4). S5). FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation screen displayed on the display unit 10. The icon A5 arranged on the operation screen D3 is for executing each of the above-described files at once, and the icon “A5” indicates “collective” indicating that the files are to be executed collectively and “3” indicating the number of files. ing.

  Next, the processing operation when the activation operation is performed on the icon A5 (FIG. 5) displayed on the display unit 10 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon A5, the control unit 101 reads out the window information of each window corresponding to each file that the icon A5 executes collectively from the window information storage unit 103 (S11).

  After that, the control unit 101 terminates the display of the icon A5 (S12), executes each file (S13), and displays each file in a window having a size and position based on the read window information. (S14). Specifically, when a certain file is a document file created using a document creation program, the control unit 101 executes the document creation file to open the document file in a window, and then, based on the window information Adjust the size and position of the window.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation screen displayed on the display unit 10. The windows W4 to W6 arranged on the operation screen D4 are displayed when the activation operation is performed on the icon A5. The windows W4 to W6 are the windows W1 to W3 shown in FIG. Are arranged in the same size and position.

<Supplement 1>
The case has been described above where there are a plurality of windows displayed on the display unit 10 when the operation receiving unit 102 receives an activation operation for the icon A4. On the other hand, consider a case where there is only one window displayed on the display unit 10 when the operation receiving unit 102 receives an activation operation for the icon A4.

  In this case, the control unit 101 causes the storage unit 40 to store window information indicating the size and position of one window displayed on the display unit 10. Then, the control unit 101 generates an icon for executing this file and causes the display unit 10 to display the icon.

  Thereafter, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon, the control unit 101 reads window information from the storage unit 40. Then, the control unit 101 causes the display unit 10 to display a window for displaying the file associated with the icon at the size and position indicated in the window information.

<Supplement 2>
In the following, it is assumed that when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon A4, the content of the file has been changed since the icon A4 was generated.

  The control unit 101 determines whether or not the content of the file has been changed since the time when the icon A4 was generated. If the content of the file has been changed, the control unit 101 displays the content before the change on the display unit 10. Or a selection screen for accepting selection of whether to display the contents after the change.

  When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts a selection instruction for displaying the content before the change on the selection screen, the control unit 101 displays a window for displaying the file with the content before the change on the display unit 10 as window information. Is displayed in the size and position shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts a selection instruction for displaying the changed content on the selection screen, the control unit 101 displays a window for displaying the changed content file on the display unit 10 as window information. Display at the indicated size and position.

  When the control unit 101 performs the process as described above, the user can select whether to display the file contents at the time when the icon A4 is generated or to display the current file contents. The content of the file desired by the user can be displayed on the display unit 10.

<Supplement 3>
The control unit 101 may store the position in the file displayed in the window in the storage unit 40 in addition to the size and position of the window as the window information. Then, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for an icon, the control unit 101 causes the display unit 10 to display a window that displays a file associated with the icon from a position in the file indicated by the window information.

  For example, when the icon A4 is generated when the 10th to 50th lines of the text file are displayed in the window, the storage unit 40 stores 10 lines as the position in the file displayed in the window. Information indicating the 50th line from the eye is stored. After that, when an activation operation is performed on the icon A4, the control unit 101 does not display the first line of the text file in the window but displays the range of the 10th to 50th lines of the text file.

  By performing the processing as described above, it is possible to further improve the work efficiency when the window is once closed and then opened again.

Second Embodiment
Next, an information processing apparatus in which an information processing program according to the second embodiment is installed will be described. In the first embodiment, a case will be described in which an icon A5 (FIG. 5) for executing two or more files at once is created and displayed, and the icon A5 is activated by the information processing apparatus 1 that created the icon A5. However, the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it can be activated by another information processing apparatus different from the information processing apparatus 1 that created the icon A5.

  First, the processing operation when the icon A5 displayed on the display unit 10 is transmitted to another information processing apparatus will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts a request to transmit the icon A5 to another information processing apparatus (for example, when an operation for attaching the icon A5 to the mail is performed), the control unit 101 executes each file that the icon A5 causes to execute collectively. File information is read from the storage unit 20 (S21), window information corresponding to each file is read from the window information storage unit 103 (S22), and the control unit 101 adds the read file information and window information to the icon A5. (S23).

  As a result, the icon A5 is attached to the other information processing apparatus and sent to the other information processing apparatus, so that the other information processing apparatus as the transmission destination can perform the activation operation on the icon A5 as in the case of the information processing apparatus as the transmission source. The above files can be collectively executed.

  Next, the processing operation when the activation operation is performed on the icon A5 displayed on the display unit 10 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon A5, the control unit 101 reads out the window information of each window corresponding to each file that the icon A5 executes collectively (S31), and the control unit 101 Determines whether each window fits in the display unit 10 based on the read window information (S32). This determination is made when the icon A5 is created from another information processing apparatus, because the display unit 10 is smaller than the creation source or the aspect ratio is different, so that each window does not fit in the display unit 10. Because there is a possibility.

  If it is determined that each window fits in the display unit 10 (YES in S32), the control unit 101 ends the display of the icon A5 (S33), executes each file (S34), and displays the read window information. Each file is displayed on the display unit 10 in the window of the size and position based on it (S35).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operation screen displayed on the display unit 10, and FIG. 10A illustrates a case where the creation source of the icon A5 and the display unit 10 are the same size. B) shows a case where the display unit 10 is larger than the creation source of the icon A5. The windows W7 to W9 arranged on the operation screens D5 and D6 are displayed when the activation operation is performed on the icon A5. The windows W7 to W9 are the windows W1 shown in FIG. ˜W3 and the upper left corner as a reference, they are arranged with the same size and position. The windows W7 to W9 are windows generated by starting different files.

  Although the case where the windows W7 to W9 are arranged at the same size and position as the windows W1 to W3 is described here, in another embodiment, the control unit 101 has a margin in the display area of the display unit 10. When it is determined that the window W7 to W9 is present, the windows W7 to W9 may be enlarged (similar enlargement), and the windows W7 to W9 may be arranged on the entire display unit 10 as in the operation screen D7 shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the control unit 101 determines that there is a window that does not fit on the display unit 10 (NO in S32), the control unit 101 determines the size and size of each window so that each window fits on the display unit 10 without overlapping. The position is adjusted (S36). For example, if there are two files to be executed in a batch, as shown in FIG. 12 (A), areas E1 and E2 that are equally divided into two left and right except for the task bar B1 are set in each window and executed in a batch. When the number of files to be executed is three, as shown in FIG. 12B, three divided areas E3 to E5 are set in each window, and when the number of files to be collectively executed is four, FIG. As shown in (C), areas E6 to E9 divided equally into four are set in each window.

  Note that the window allocation may be set in consideration of the size and position of the window before adjustment. For example, when the layout of each window before adjustment is as shown in FIG. 2B, the window W1 is assigned to the area E3, the window W2 is assigned to the area E4, and the window W3 is assigned to the area E5.

  Next, the control unit 101 determines whether or not the size of each adjusted window is within a preset reduction limit range (for example, 80% or more with respect to the original size) (S37). ), If it is determined that it is within the reduction limit (YES in S37), the control unit 101 terminates the display of the icon A5 (S38), executes each file (S39), and adjusts the size. Then, each file is displayed on the display unit 10 in the position window (S40). On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not within the reduction limit range (NO in S37), the control unit 101 does not execute each file.

  According to the second embodiment, two or more files can be collectively executed, and each file can be displayed on the display unit 10 with a window having a size and a position based on previously registered window information. That is, the window display can be reproduced with a layout registered in advance.

  In addition, when there is a window that does not fit in the display unit 10 due to a difference in the size or aspect ratio of the display unit 10, the size and position of the window are adjusted to fit in the display unit 10. Even if it cannot be reproduced, two or more files can be executed in a batch and displayed properly in a window.

  Further, the range of the window reduction limit may be set for each file type (type of program for creating a file). For example, a document file created using a document creation program has a lot of characters, and when it is greatly reduced, it becomes very difficult to see. Therefore, the reduction limit range is set to a large 80%, and a presentation program is used. Since the created file has a small effect even if it is greatly reduced, the reduction limit range is set to 60%.

  In yet another embodiment, when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon A4 shown in FIG. 2B, the control unit 101 sequentially turns the windows W1 to W3 as shown in FIG. A screen P1 on which a reduction limit can be input is displayed on the display unit 10 so that the user can set a reduction limit for each window. The control unit 101 is input when the operation receiving unit 102 receives an input from the user. The reduction limit information may be stored as the attribute information of the window information, and the attribute information stored by the control unit 101 may be used when adjusting the size and position of the window.

  The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the first embodiment, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives a startup operation (predetermined operation) for the icon A4 displayed on the display unit 10, the control unit 101 includes the window information, Furthermore, background information indicating the wallpaper image displayed on the display unit 10 and the attributes (including file names and icon images associated with the icons) and positions of other icons displayed on the display unit 10 You may memorize | store in the memory | storage part 40. FIG.

  Then, when the operation receiving unit 102 receives an activation operation for the icon A5, the control unit 101 reads window information and background information from the storage unit 40. The control unit 101 causes the display unit 10 to display a window for displaying the file associated with the icon, and further causes the display unit 10 to display the wallpaper indicated by the background information and the icon indicated by the background information. By the above processing, not only the window display can be reproduced, but also the wallpaper image and other icons displayed on the display unit 10 can be reproduced.

  Further, not only when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon A4 displayed on the display unit 10, but also when the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an operation for shutting down the information processing apparatus 1, the control unit 101 However, the window information indicating the size and position of the window displayed on the display unit 10 may be stored in the storage unit 40.

  That is, before the information processing apparatus 1 is shut down, the control unit 101 causes the storage unit 40 to store window information indicating the size and position of the window displayed on the display unit 10 at the time immediately before the shutdown. Generate an icon associated with the file displayed in the window. When the information processing apparatus 1 is activated after the shutdown, the display unit 10 displays an icon generated by the control unit 101 immediately before the shutdown. When the operation accepting unit 102 accepts an activation operation for the icon, the control unit 101 reads window information from the storage unit 40, and displays a window for displaying a file associated with the icon on the display unit 10 as window information. Display at the indicated size and position. By performing the above processing, when the information processing apparatus 1 is restarted or shut down, the window displayed before the information processing apparatus 1 is shut down can be reproduced with a simple operation.

  In the second embodiment, the control unit 101 performs uniform scale conversion (similar reduction) on a window centered on a predetermined point (for example, the upper left corner) in the screen of the display unit 10. The size and position of the window may be adjusted. By performing the above processing, even when the size and position of the window are adjusted, the ratio of the size of the window before and after the adjustment is maintained, so it is possible to suppress a sense of discomfort given to the user. .

  In the second embodiment, the control unit 101 performs a process of adjusting the size and position of each window within a range in which the window adjacent to the window does not change after the adjustment and after the adjustment. It is good.

  The above processing will be specifically described using an example shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 14, five windows W11 to W15 are displayed in the operation screen D5. The control unit 101 stores the adjacency relationship of these windows displayed in the operation screen D5 in the storage unit 40. For example, the window adjacent to the window W11 is the window W12, and the windows adjacent to the window W12 are the windows W11, W13, and W14.

  The control unit 101 performs a process of adjusting the size and position of each window within a range in which the adjacent relationship (adjacent windows) is not changed before and after the adjustment. That is, the control unit 101 adjusts the position and size of each window so that windows other than the window W12 are not adjacent to the window W11. In addition, the control unit 101 adjusts the position and size of the windows so that the windows adjacent to the window W12 are the windows W11, W13, and W14. By performing the above processing, even when the size and position of the window are adjusted, the adjacent relationship between the windows before and after the adjustment is maintained, so that it is possible to suppress a sense of discomfort given to the user.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although demonstrated using PC as one Embodiment of the information processing apparatus which concerns on this invention, this is only an example and another electronic device, for example, a tablet terminal etc., may be sufficient.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the structure and process which were shown by the said embodiment using FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 14 are only one Embodiment of this invention, and are not the meaning which limits this invention to the said structure and process.
