When the window is activated, the cursor with the activation attribute is displayed at the current input start position. In the figure, "■" represents the cursor with the activation attribute, and "□" is the inactive attribute. Represents a cursor that has the attribute of the state of activation.

Next, the operation of the multi-window display device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 5, in step S20, the scroll designation synchronous identification display processing means 35 provided in the multiple window processing means 34 determines a window event. If the window event is in the activated state, the process proceeds to step S31, and it is determined whether or not the cursor having the deactivation attribute is being displayed on the display screen of the activated window of the display unit 30.

When the cursor having the deactivating attribute is being displayed, the process proceeds to step S32, and for example, the cursor "□" having the deactivating attribute displayed in the window 2 in FIG. 6 (a).
To delete. Here, FIG. 6 shows a display example of each window of the present embodiment. In FIG. 6A, window 1 is activated, and windows 2 and 3 are inactive. Further, according to the location defined by the cursor designation window definition unit 60, the window designated for cursor display synchronized with the window 1, that is, the window designated for displaying the cursor is the window in the inactive state. Of these, it is window 2.

When the display of the inactive attribute cursor "□" is erased, the process advances to step S33, and the cursor display section 42 creates a cursor "■" having an attribute corresponding to the activated state. In step S34, the cursor display unit 42 displays the cursor "■" as shown in the window 2 of FIG. 6B, for example. FIG. 6 (b)
Shows a case where the activation state is switched from window 1 to window 2 in FIG.

In step S35, the synchronous cursor movement requesting section 43 requests the cursor display in the synchronous cursor movement designation window defined by the synchronous cursor designation window defining section 60. For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, for the window 2 in the activated state,
If the window for which synchronous cursor display is designated is window 1, the synchronous cursor movement request unit 43 of window 2
Request to move the cursor to window 1. FIG.
(C) shows the case where the cursor is moved in the switched window 2 and scrolled when the cursor is moved outside the window. As for the window for which the synchronous cursor display is designated for the window 2, the window 1 is defined in the synchronous cursor designation window defining section 60 among the inactive windows.

On the other hand, when the window event is the activation cursor movement, in step S21, the scroll processing unit 41 for displaying the cursor determines whether the cursor position after the movement is inside or outside the window. To do. If the cursor position is outside the window, step S
Proceed to step 22, scrolling for cursor display is performed.
In step S23, the scroll processing unit 41 moves the cursor in the direction operated by the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, in step S24, the synchronous cursor movement requesting unit 43 proceeds to step S25 if the window is an activated window, and moves the cursor to the window designated for synchronous cursor movement. Request a move.

When the window event is inactivated in step S20, in step S41 the window in the activated state is switched to the window in the inactivated state and the cursor having the activated attribute displayed is displayed. Erase. For example, the window 1 that was in the activated state in FIG. 6A is inactivated in FIG. 6B, and the cursor "■" having the activation attribute is erased.

In step S20, in the case of a request event for displaying or moving the cursor "□" having the attribute of the deactivated state, the process proceeds to step S51, and it is determined whether or not the request is to display the cursor by synchronization. When there is an instruction to display the cursor by synchronization, the process proceeds to step S52, and the cursor display unit 52 creates the cursor "□" corresponding to the inactive state. In step S53, the cursor display section displays the cursor "□".

When the cursor is displayed or in step S
In the case of the movement request in 51, the process proceeds to step S54, and it is determined whether or not the request is the movement of the synchronous cursor. In the case of the movement request, the process proceeds to step S55, and the scroll processing unit 51 for displaying the cursor It is determined whether or not the position of the cursor after movement is outside the window. If it is outside the window, the flow advances to step S56 to scroll the display data for cursor display. If the cursor position after the movement in step S56 or in step S55 is within the window, the process proceeds to step S57, and the cursor is further moved in the window in synchronization with the movement of the cursor in the activated window.

Incidentally, FIG. 6 (d) shows the case where the window in the activated state is switched to the window 3 from FIG. 6 (a). It is assumed that there is no window for which synchronous cursor display is designated for window 3. Then window 3
Then, even if the cursor is moved downward, the cursor does not move in synchronization.

As described above, in the present embodiment,

Further, since the activated window and the inactivated window are distinguished by activating the cursor attribute by changing the attribute of the cursor, each window is in the activated state. It is possible to easily discriminate between the window and the inactive window, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator.
Further, in the present embodiment, the window in the inactive state in which the cursor is displayed is limited to the window in the inactive state designated by the synchronous cursor designation window definition unit 60. Therefore, instead of displaying the cursor on all the inactive windows, only displaying the cursor on the necessary inactive windows, you can focus only on the necessary windows. And easy to operate.

Further, in the present embodiment, since the cursor has a scroll function, if the cursor moves out of the window area, the data displayed in the window is moved. Since the cursor is always displayed in the window area, it is easy for the operator to operate without losing sight of the cursor. In the above embodiment, the movement of the cursor in the window in the activated state and the movement of the cursor in the window in the inactivated state are synchronized with each other, but they may be simply displayed without the synchronization.

Further, it is also possible to display all the inactive windows without designating the inactive windows in which the cursors to be synchronized are displayed. As shown above, cursors can be displayed on multiple windows, so multiple character data to be input can be displayed on each window, making it easy to input or modify character data in parallel. Can be done. Needless to say, the display method of a plurality of windows according to the present embodiment is not limited to the tiling window and can be applied to the overlapping window.
