In addition, " animation interval " is such as being also referred to as " display completion animation performs the time ".In this method, spend how many degree when Between carry out animation show and freely can be set or changed by user Dengs.That is, appropriate finger can be for example felt with user The method of pin movement, which performs, shows completion animation.In addition, setting is carried out in the side of servicing unit 5 by developer etc. in itself, but also may be used The expectation of oneself is conveyed to developer etc. by user by programable display 1 etc., is set for it.

In addition, above-mentioned animation control information 102 is illustrated referring to the detailed example shown in Fig. 9.

In example illustrated, animation control information 102 by mark 112 in sub-value 111, animated actions on monitoring holder, Angle on target 113, current angular 114, Δ t transformation periods counter 115, Δ t pass through counter 116 and Δ angle 117 etc. Form.

Sub-value 111 is the last time of the acquirement data from distribution holder region (monitoring holder) on monitoring holder Value.That is, it is the acquirement data of last time.As described below, newest (this) acquirement data with the case of upper sub-value identical, Project display content (angle of pointer image) need not be changed.In the case that this sub-value is different from upper sub-value, change project shows Show content, according to circumstances start to show that completion animation is shown.In addition, this sub-value is as new upper sub-value covering storage to monitoring storage Sub-value 111 on storage.

Mark 112 is to indicate whether the mark in completion animated actions are shown in animated actions, here, bidding note is opened To represent to act.

Angle corresponding with this sub-value is stored in angle on target 113.It means that the most Zhongdao that display completion animation is shown Up to angle.For example, when making the display beginning of display completion animation in the case of " this sub-value ≠ upper sub-value ", try to achieve corresponding with this sub-value Angle, store to angle on target 113.

The angles of display of the pointer image at current time is stored in current angular 114.Performing the mistake of display completion animation Cheng Zhong, the value of current angular 114 are substantially updated every Δ t described below.In detail as described below.

When starting to show the display of completion animation, pass through following calculating formulas in the storage of Δ t transformation periods counter 115 (1) " the Δ t transformation periods count value " tried to achieve.

Δ t transformation periods count value=transformation period ht/ parameter renewal time Δs t (1) formula

Here, transformation period ht is above-mentioned animation interval 101.That is, show that start to finish is spent from display completion animation Time.In addition, parameter renewal time Δ t is the value arbitrarily set by developer etc. in advance, moved equivalent to display completion Draw the execution cycle of display.That is, Figure 17 for example described below processing is performed every Δ t.

Δ t transformation period count values could also say that expression should perform between display completion animation start to finish Number of processes (the execution number of Figure 17 processing).

In addition, during Δ t is stored in execution display completion animation by counter 116, such as perform figure every time During 17 processing, the result that is calculated by following calculating formulas (2).

Δ t passes through counter

=(animation starts rear elapsed time) ÷ parameter renewal time Δs t (2) formula

Δ t could also say that the processing untill representing after showing completion animation up to now by counter 116 Number (the execution number of Figure 17 processing).

In addition, when display completion animation display starts, store in Δ angle 117 and calculated by following calculating formulas (3) Value.

Δ angle=(" angle on target 113 "-" current angular 114 " of animation start time)/" Δ t transformation periods count Value " (3) formula

Δ angle 117 could also say that represent show completion animated actions during pointer per treatment rotation amount (angle variable quantity).That is, when performing Figure 17 processing every time, angles of display renewal (rotation) Δ angle of pointer image 117 amount.

In addition, the calculating processing of above-mentioned Δ angle is carried out when showing that the display of completion animation starts as described above, therefore It is above-mentioned " current angular 114 " of animation start time substantially with " calculating processing perform the moment current angular 114 " look like It is identical.

More than, the concrete example of the bulleted list 61 shown in Fig. 6 is illustrated.

It is back to Fig. 6 explanation.

The dispaly state renewal of projects image of the project processing plan portion 52 for being performed by project processing unit 53 is handled Deng progress planning management.That is, project processing plan portion 52 for example regularly recalls project processing unit 53, performs for example described below Figure 14 etc. processing (in other words, circulation performs Figure 14 etc. processing).

Project processing unit 53 is right based on above-mentioned bulleted list 61 and the storage data of common storage 63 described below etc. The associated processing such as the renewal of display content of its image of each project implementation.

In addition, project processing unit 53 describes (expansion) projects image on RAM13.For each project, the description Content (display content) is changed according to above-mentioned acquirement data sometimes.For example, in the case of the example of above-mentioned instrument, pointer Angle be shown as angle corresponding with newest acquirement data.But the display is also set to spend above-mentioned animation interval sometimes 101 time, make pointer gradually (periodically) mobile, carry out showing that completion animation is shown.

Parameter renewal performs timer processing portion 54 and animation display phase is carried out when the display completion animation shows and started The defined setting of association.Such as Figure 15 processing is carried out, in detail as described below.

In addition, by the way that the description data on the RAM13 are shown over the display by graphics controller 15, described in display Show operation screen.Describe data by project processing unit 53 for example when performing Figure 14 described below processing every time by any time Renewal.

Communication processing section 55 is communication processing section 55-1,55-2 to be prepared with each connection equipment 4 (4-1,4-2).That is, The communication processing section 55-1 uses of diagram and the connection corresponding COM1 WAY1 of equipment 4-1, via communication line 6, carry out with Equipment 4-1 communication is connected, obtains the storage data in each distribution holder region corresponding with projects.Obtain data cover simultaneously It is stored in the predetermined region of common storage 63.

Similarly, it is illustrated that communication processing section 55-2 uses and the connection corresponding COM1 WAY2 of equipment 4-2, via logical Believe circuit 6, carry out the communication with being connected equipment 4-2, obtain the storage data in each distribution holder region corresponding with projects. Obtain data cover and be stored in the predetermined region of common storage 63.

In addition, the storage data in above-mentioned distribution holder region obtain what is handled and stored to common storage 63 Processing is in itself with the past roughly the same, therefore be not described in detail especially.

Here, Figure 10 (a), (b) represent the concrete example of the common storage 63.

Figure 10 (a) represents the data structure example of common storage 63, and Figure 10 (b) represents data storage example.

In example shown in Figure 10 (b), the storage data of common storage 63 by port 71, device name 72, address 73, Each data items such as data 74 are formed.In addition, these data items can with the past it is roughly the same.Thus, simply carry out below Explanation.

Port 71 is identification information of the COM1 etc., turns into the connection equipment 4 substantially to communication counterpart and carries out The information of identification.Device 72 is the identification information of the memory device in the connection equipment 4 of communication counterpart.Address 73 is in device 52 The address of storage area specified in shown memory device (distribution holder region), is obtained from the distribution holder region Data are stored in data 74.In addition, also the address in the distribution holder region is referred to as " with distributing holder sometimes Location ".

In addition, port 71, device name 72 and address 73 are also seen as equivalent to " distribution holder described in projects Address " and " monitoring holder ".That is, each record shown in Figure 10 (b) is corresponding with projects.By will be contained in picture data 22 Deng the above-mentioned distribution holder address of each project store to port 71, device name 72 and address 73, generate Figure 10 (b) each record shown in.In addition, at this moment, the link of record and project can also be formed, but it is not limited to the example.Anyway, When log in the display renewal processing of projects of bulleted list 61, with reference to corresponding with projects in common storage 63 The data 74 of record.

Hereinafter, with reference to each flow chart, timer is performed to above-mentioned communication processing section 55, project processing unit 53, parameter renewal The processing example in the various processing function portions such as processing unit 54 illustrates.

First, reference picture 12, the processing example to communication processing section 55 illustrate.

Such as each communication processing section 55-1,55-2 cyclically perform Figure 12's (with the fixed cycle) respectively in Fig. 6 example Processing.

In Figure 12 processing example, first, based on common storage 63, generate what oneself responsible connection equipment 4 was associated Holder list 120 (step S11).For example, in the case where being handled using communication processing section 55-1, generation connection equipment Holder list 120 associated 4-1.For example, in common storage 63, by the way that the record that port 71 is WAY1 is all taken out Go out, holder list 120 associated generation connection equipment 4-1.

Figure 11 (a) represents the data structure example of the holder list 120.

In example illustrated, holder list 120 is by each data item such as device name 121, address 122 and data 123 Mesh is formed.Such as in the case of the example of the communication processing section 44-1, by being from common storage 63 by port 71 The record of " WAY1 " is completely drawn out, by this it is each extract out record device name 72, address 73, data 74 information storage described Device name 121, address 122, data 123, generate the associated holder lists 120 of the connection equipment 4-1.In addition, number It is not essential according to 123.Also can replace, storage indicates whether the label information that processing is completed.

Afterwards, while with reference to the holder list 120 generated, while the processing between step S12~S14 is repeated, Until step S15 is judged as NO.In addition, the processing can simply be illustrated below with as in the past in itself.

That is, a untreated record is taken out as process object record from holder list 120, based on the process object The content generation holder of record reads instruction, and oneself responsible (step of connection equipment 4 is sent it to via communication line 6 S12).In the instruction information of access target is determined comprising the device name 121 and the grade of address 72 (with distributing holder Location).Thus, connect equipment 4 and read data from the storage area that the distribution holder address represents, carry out replying the reading data Response processing.

After communication processing section 44 receives the response (step S13) that connection equipment 4 reads instruction to the holder, by this The data storage for the reading that response is included is in the common storage 63 equivalent in the record of process object record The data 74 column in (step S14).

Also, after the processing for performing the step S14, check whether remaining untreated in holder list 120 Record (step S15), (step S15 is yes) return to step S12 in the case of having remaining, (step S15 in the case of no remaining It is no) terminate present treatment.

Figure 13, Figure 14 are the process charts of project processing unit 53.

Further, since Figure 13, Figure 14 are to divide two parts to represent a process chart, therefore do not distinguish especially, remember Make Figure 13 etc..

As described above, Figure 13 etc. processing circulates execution based on the management in project processing plan portion 52.

In Figure 13 etc. processing example, the initialization process (step S21) of bulleted list 61 is first carried out in project processing unit 53. That is, the processing all recorded of bulleted list 61 for example is completed into mark 86 to be set to " untreated ".Afterwards, step is repeated S22~S30 processing is no until step S31 described below.

That is, the processing in bulleted list 61 is completed to one in the record that mark 86 is " untreated " as process object Record (step S22), its number is obtained from the record (corresponding record) of the common storage 63 linked with process object record According to 74 (step S23).That is, newest (this) data are obtained.Also, the data 74 of acquirement are temporarily saved as into holder letter Cease 130 (data 131 shown in Figure 11 (b)).

Here, the project that the processing shown such as Figure 13 is set to " having display completion animation to perform setting " (not shown) is related The processing of connection.In addition, to the project of " not showing that completion animation performs setting ", such as the existing place not illustrated especially Reason, project display renewal etc. is carried out, but be not limited to the example.

Or in example as described above, also existing place can be carried out in the case where animation interval 101 is ' 0 ' Reason.In the example, such as between step S24 and S25, perform " whether animation interval 101 is ' 0 '" judgement, judged result To be moved to step S25 processing in the case of no.On the other hand, judged result is in the case of being, for example, obtain and this Monitoring holder data value corresponding to angle, perform and utilize the processing (not shown) of angle renewal current angular 114 etc. Afterwards, it is moved to step S29.Thus, pointer is shown with this angle obtained corresponding to data value immediately in step S29.

In the case of processing example shown in Figure 13 etc., the data 131 are different from sub-value 111 on the monitoring holder In the case of, judge there is data variation (step S24 is yes), be moved to step S25.In step s 25, got the bid with reference to animated actions Note 112, determine whether in showing that completion animation performs.

Not in the case of display completion animation is executory (step S25 is no), perform for starting new display completion The predetermined processing (step S27, S28) of animated actions.In the case of display completion animation is executory (step S25 is yes), in Only or it stopped after the executory animated actions (step S26), using the stop position of the pointer as new original position, Perform the defined processing (step S27, S28) for starting above-mentioned new animated actions.

In step S27 processing, obtain newest acquirement data (this sub-value) i.e. with above-mentioned 131 corresponding pointer of data Angles of display.The processing sheet simply illustrates as prior art, afterwards reference picture 21.Also, the display that will be obtained Angle is stored to above-mentioned angle on target 113.Further, sub-value 111 on above-mentioned monitoring holder is entered using above-mentioned data 131 Row renewal.That is, it is that data 131 save as new upper sub-value by this acquirement data.

Also, perform parameter renewal and perform timer start to process (step S28).Step S28 processing is based on current Angle 114, angle on target 113, animation interval 101 (transformation period ht), above-mentioned parameter renewal time Δ t etc., calculate above-mentioned Δ t The processing etc. of transformation period counter 115, Δ angle 117.

Wherein, if calculating each project and storing an initial Δ t transformation periods counter 115, as long as afterwards Transformation period ht and parameter renewal time Δ t setting are not changed, with regard to the necessity not calculated.

Figure 15 is step S28 detail flowchart.

, also can be by the parameter that is recalled from project processing unit 53 in addition, present treatment can for example be performed by project processing unit 53 Renewal performs timer processing portion 54 and performed.In the case of the latter, project processing unit 53 by the ID of the project of process object, (compile by project Number 81) transmit to parameter to update when recalling and perform timer processing portion 54.The following description is by taking the latter as an example.

Parameter renewal performs the data storage content that timer processing portion 54 updates project implementation list 62 to parameter first It is updated (step S41, S42).

Here, Figure 11 (c) represents the data structure example of parameter renewal project implementation list 62.In example illustrated, parameter Renewal project implementation list 62 is formed by login number 141 and with the bullets 142 of the login number respective numbers.In project Numbering 142 logs in the ID (bullets 81) for the project for being currently executing display completion animated actions.Stored logging in number 141 The quantity of the current bullets for logging in bullets 142.

Parameter renewal performs timer processing portion 54 and login number 141 is carried out after+1 (incremental) (step S41), to handle The ID (bullets 81) of object item is additional to be stored to bullets 142.

Also, using the ID of above-mentioned process object project, from the provisioning information (step of the acquirement respective record of bulleted list 61 S43).Provisioning information refers to information necessary to step S44 described below calculating processing, e.g. above-mentioned angle on target 113rd, current angular 114 and animation interval 101 (transformation period ht) etc..Further, parameter renewal time Δ t is also obtained. In addition, parameter renewal time Δ t is logged from other approach in advance.

Also, based on the provisioning information obtained in step S43, set new above-mentioned Δ t transformation periods counter 115, with And Δ angle 117.Further, the initial setting (step S44) that Δ t passes through counter 116 is also carried out.

That is, first with above-mentioned animation interval 101 (transformation period ht) and parameter renewal time Δ t, by above-mentioned (1) formula meter Δ t transformation period count values are calculated, is covered and is stored in Δ t transformation periods timer 115.

In addition, counted based on above-mentioned angle on target 113, current angular 114 and the above-mentioned Δ t transformation periods calculated Value, Δ angle is calculated by above-mentioned (3) formula, is covered and is stored in Δ angle 117.In addition, the current angular when calculating is handled 114 be the above-mentioned " current angular 114 " of animation start time.In addition, angle on target 113 is as described above, it is updated to and this Angle corresponding to sub-value (last look).

In step S44, further, Δ t is set as initial value (=0) by counter 116.Further, lead to Crossing makes mark 112 in animated actions be opened in mark, and step S44 processing is completed.

More than, reference picture 15, the detailed example of the processing to above-mentioned steps S28 is illustrated.

Hereinafter, reference picture 16, the detailed example of the processing to step S26 illustrate.

, also can be by the parameter that is recalled from project processing unit 53 in addition, present treatment can for example be performed by project processing unit 53 Renewal performs timer processing portion 54 and performed.In the case of the latter, project processing unit 53 by deal with objects project ID (item targets Number 81) transmit to parameter to update when recalling and perform timer processing portion 54.The following description is by taking the latter as an example.

Parameter renewal performs the data storage content that timer processing portion 54 updates project implementation list 62 to parameter first It is updated (step S51, S52).That is, (step S51) after -1 (successively decreasing) is carried out to logging in number 141, project will be dealt with objects ID (bullets 81) delete (step S52) from bullets 142.

Also, in bulleted list 61, with reference to the record (step S53) of above-mentioned process object project, by the respective record Mark 112 is changed into mark closing (step S54) in animated actions.

More than, the detailed example for stopping handling to the animation of the step S26 shown in Figure 16 is illustrated.As described above, For be carrying out show completion animation project, its monitor holder data value there occurs change in the case of, utilize Figure 16 processing stops or stopped executory display completion animation.Also, afterwards, the position of the pointer at the moment is stopped Position regards original position as, starts to perform new display completion animation.

It is back to Figure 14 explanation.

By the processing of above-mentioned steps S27, S28, no matter carrying out being used to start new display completion animated actions In the case of processing, in the case of still not carrying out the processing (i.e. in the case that step S24 is no), finally with current angular 114 angle performs the processing (step S29) for showing pointer.In addition, step S29 processing is the processing confirmed, substantially refer to The angle of pin should be constant.Also, the processing of process object project is completed mark 86 and be changed into " processing is completed " (step S30), The associated processing of the process object project is completed.Also, in the case of untreated project being also present (step S31 is yes), New process object project is determined in return to step S22, never processing item, performs processing similar to the above.

Figure 17 is the process chart that parameter renewal performs timer processing portion 65, is to show the main processing that circulation performs Figure.

In addition, for example by using CPU timer function interrupt processing, realize the main processing of the circulation.This In example, initially, in timer setting above-mentioned parameter renewal time Δ t.Thus, in this example, perform Figure 17's with Δ t loop cycles Processing.

In Figure 17 processing, first in initial, removing processing index (step S61) (not shown).Also, holding every time During row step S62~S67 processing ,+1 is carried out to processing index and is incremented by (step S68), check whether that also remaining is untreated List (step S69).Step S62~S67 processing is repeated, untill no untreated list.Hereinafter, to step S62~S67 each processing illustrates.

First, the item id (step of process object is obtained from parameter renewal project implementation list 62 (its bullets 142) S62).The item id of process object is assumed corresponding with for example above-mentioned processing index currency.For example, just complete it is above-mentioned clear In the case of removing, project of the item id of beginning as process object is obtained in the item id group for logging in bullets 142 ID。

Also, using item id (bullets) the retrieval bulleted list 61 obtained, obtain respective record (step S63). And (step first, is updated as described below by counter 116 and current angular 114 to the Δ t in respective record S64)。

Δ t passes through counter 116+1 by counter 116=Δs t

That is, Δ t is updated to " currency+1 " by the value of counter 116.

Current angular 114=current angular 114+ Δs angle 117.

That is, the value of Δ angle 117 is updated to " currency+Δ angle 117 ".

Further, since Δ angle 117 is calculated using above-mentioned (3) formula, therefore it is on the occasion of being sometimes negative value sometimes.By This, is according to the renewal to above-mentioned current angular 114, both angled increased situation or the situation of angled reduction.That is, by every Current angular 114 plus or minus variable quantity (Δ angle of the period Δ t to display completion animation start time are performed every animation 117), current angular 114 is updated.

Then, it is incremented by as noted above by carrying out+1 by counter 116 to Δ t, judges whether to meet that " Δ t changes 115≤Δ of time counter t passes through counter 116 " (step S65).That is, it is judged that whether pass through since showing completion animation Transformation period ht.In other words, judge whether to have reached the animated actions end time.In addition, "≤in above-mentioned steps S65 " It can be replaced "=".

Reach " Δ t transformation period 115≤Δs of counter t pass through counter 116 " in the case of (step S65 is yes), Perform parameter renewal and perform timer stopping processing (step S66).Step S66 processing is identical with above-mentioned steps S26 processing, Perform above-mentioned Figure 16 processing.Thus, explanation here is omitted.

On the other hand, remain as " the ＞ Δs t of Δ t transformation periods counter 115 pass through counter 116 " in the case of (step S65 is no), using the current angular 114 after renewal in above-mentioned steps S64, pointer (step S67) is shown with the angle.That is, The display location of pointer is set to move the amount of (rotation) Δ angle 117.

In addition, in the case that step S65 is no, also after above-mentioned steps S66 processing performs, above-mentioned steps are performed S67 processing.In this case, should substantially reach, " current angular 114=angle on targets 113 ", the display location of pointer should This reaches position corresponding with the newest data value for monitoring holder.In addition, in this case, due to the place using above-mentioned Figure 16 Reason deletes the project from parameter renewal project implementation list 62, therefore is excluded in the present treatment of next time in display completion Outside animated actions object.

Finally, processing index is carried out+1 and be incremented by (step S68), carry out step S69 judgement, step as described above S69 is otherwise to terminate present treatment.In addition, such as processing index reaches maximum (=login number 141), then step S69 is no.

Here, Figure 18 represents the display example for the situation that above-mentioned steps S25 is yes.

In Figure 18 example, it is 200 milliseconds (ms) to make animation interval, initial display completion animated actions start time The angle of pointer is the angle of the representative data value ' 0 ' shown in Figure 18 (a).Also, make data value from above-mentioned ' 0 ' become to turn to ‘100’.Thus, if starting the display completion animated actions of this example, pointer image is as shown in Figure 18 from above-mentioned ' 0 ' Corresponding angle (0 degree) is gradually mobile (rotation) to angle (180 degree) corresponding with ' 100 '.However, on the way of the animated actions In (when here to have passed through 150 (ms) from the outset), data value is changed to ' 50 ' from ' 100 '.

In this case, due to above-mentioned steps S24 to be and step S25 be yes, therefore execution step S26 processing, pointer Movement the moment (when have passed through 150 (ms) from the outset) stop.Also, the display completion animation for immediately beginning to next time moves Make.As shown in Figure 18 (c), spend 200 milliseconds make pointer gradually from above-mentioned stop position gradually move (rotation) to data value Angle corresponding to ' 90 ' (90 degree).

In addition, it is to be understood that data value is the data value for monitoring holder.

In addition, the display color of pointer can be predetermined fixed color or produce change according to data value Mode.

For example, in example shown in Figure 19, logged in as follows in advance：It is blueness relative to 0~30 data value range, It is green relative to 31~70 data value range, the data value range relative to 71~100 is red (not shown).In addition, It is 200 milliseconds (ms) also to make animation interval herein.

Thus, on position (angle) corresponding with the data value ' 0 ' shown in Figure 19 (a), the display color of pointer is in blueness.And And data value changes are ' 100 ' in the same manner as Figure 18 (a) under the state.

In this case, it was found from above-mentioned Figure 18 explanation, using showing completion animated actions, pointer spend 200 milliseconds from 0 degree of angle gradual mobile (rotation) is untill angle 180 degree.Also, in the animated actions, new current angular is being determined every time When 114, data value corresponding with the current angular is obtained, judges color corresponding with the data value.Also, using the color and Current angular 114 shows pointer.Such as shown if data value is ' 50 ' with green.

Here, in the case of described above one, with monitoring that the variable quantity of data value of holder is increase or subtracted It is small unrelated, Figure 17 processing is performed with the number shown in Δ t transformation periods counter 115 without exception, changes the aobvious of pointer every time Show angle.However, in the case that the variable quantity of the data value of monitoring holder is small, Δ angle 117 may also become very sometimes It is small.Thus, can be it is observed that the angles of display of pointer be excessively continually changed from the angle of user.

Thus, as generally described above, handled every the renewal of current angular 114 in the processing that Δ t performs Figure 17, but example The project of threshold value as defined in being such as not up to Δ angle 117, such as the renewal of current angular 114 can also be performed every 2 × Δ t Processing is (as variation).Certainly, it is not limited to every " 2 × Δ t ", such as can also be every " 3 × Δ t " etc..In addition, above-mentioned threshold Value is registered as arbitrary value in advance.

It is above-mentioned " 2 × Δ t " example, such as by place that addition is following in Figure 17 processing for above-mentioned variation Manage to realize.

I.e., first, it is additional to make animation (not shown) perform counter to count up that (+1 passs in step S61 processing Increase) processing.Further, additional following processing (not shown) before step S67.

That is, the Δ angle 117 of process object project is obtained, judges whether it is not up to above-mentioned threshold value.If in threshold In the case of more than value (117≤threshold value of Δ angle), step S67 processing is moved to.On the other hand, the not up to situation of threshold value Under (the ＜ threshold values of Δ angle 117), the count value that above-mentioned animation performs counter is then moved to step S67 processing if even number, Step S67 processing is not performed then if odd number.In the case where not performing step S64 processing, step S68 is directly moved to Processing.

Such as by above-mentioned processing, the project of threshold value is not up to Δ angle 117, is only entered in the processing of Figure 17 twice The display change of pointer of row.Current angular 114 is updated in step S64 processing every time, but twice in once, show Show the current angular 114 after not reflecting renewal.That is, the update times of the angles of display of pointer are common half.

In addition, this is an example, but it is not limited to the example.For example, the renewal of current angular 114 can also handled Per middle execution twice once.But in this case, the project of threshold value, the renewal of current angular 114 are not up to Δ angle 117 Handle as " current angular 114=current angulars 114+ (2 × Δ angle 117) " etc..

In addition, in the case where the variable quantity of the data value of monitoring holder is very small, it can not also perform display completion and move Picture is in itself.That is, the Second Threshold smaller than above-mentioned threshold value is logged in advance, it is additional to judge in the case where step S24 is judged as YES Whether the variable quantity for monitoring the data value of holder is more than Second Threshold processing (not shown).Also, in monitoring holder Data value variable quantity in the case of more than Second Threshold, to be moved to step S25.On the other hand, the number of holder is monitored In the case of being not up to Second Threshold according to the variable quantity of value, the renewal of current angular 114 processing (not shown) is performed, is directly moved to Step S29.The renewal of current angular 114 processing (not shown) is for example to obtain with this sub-value of the data value of monitoring holder (most New value) corresponding to angle, angle covering is saved as to processing of current angular 114 etc..

Figure 20 is the functional block diagram of the programable display of this example.

The programable display 1 of example illustrated has picture data storage unit 201, target location or angle calculation portion 202nd, completion animation control unit 203 and display color storage unit 204 etc. are shown.

In addition, it is illustrated that servicing unit 210 (mapping editing device 5) there is configuration part 211.

The configuration part 211 is attached to the function part in the existing capability for the generation for aiding in arbitrary picture data, such as It is the function part to above-mentioned " animation interval (transformation period ht) carries out any setting ".Using the function, can to spend exploitation Person or user feel reasonable time, and the display completion animation for performing this method is shown.

Picture data storage unit 201 is to the arbitrary distribution holder region set respectively in connection equipment 4 The picture data of projects is stored.Included in these projects and show above-mentioned distribution storage using the position or angle of figure The graphical representation project of the data value in device region.

In the case where the data value for distributing holder region is there occurs change, target location or angle calculation portion 202 pairs of graphical representation projects obtain the position or angle, i.e. target position of the figure corresponding with the data value after the change Put or angle on target.

Display completion animation control unit 203 carries out animation and shown, make the graphical representation project from the data before change Move with being worth corresponding position or angle, i.e. original position or start angle incipient stage property or rotate to the target location Or angle on target.In the case of the example of above-mentioned instrument, enter enforcement pointer by periodically updating the current angular of pointer The periodically display such as (gradual) rotation.

Here, display completion animation control unit 203 calculating part 203a, graph position or angle such as with variable quantity are more New portion 203b and animation display part 203c etc..

The calculating part such as variable quantity 203a is such as performing the time (ht) based on the animation that arbitrarily sets in advance, perform the cycle (Δ t etc.), the original position or start angle and the target location or angle on target (angle on target 113 etc.), are obtained The position of described each time interim movement or rotation or the variable quantity (Δ angle 117 etc.) of angle and execution number (Δ t Transformation period counter 115 etc.).The original position or angle are, for example, current angular 114 of animation start time etc., be with Such as position or angle etc. corresponding to the data value before change.

Graph position or angle update section 203b are worked as every the execution cycle using the variable quantity to the figure Front position or current angular are updated.Such as in the case of the example of instrument, update described current angular 114 etc..

Animation display part 203c is every the execution cycle, according to the current location after the renewal or current angular display figure Shape.For example, in the case of the example of instrument, pointer is shown with the angle of the current angular 114 after renewal.

Graph position or angle update section 203b, such as by performing the cycle by the original position or starting every described Angle is added or subtracted each other with the variable quantity, so as to be updated to the current location or current angular.Described instrument In the case of example, " calculating formula of current angular 114=current angular 114+ Δs angle 117 ", worked as using described to update Preceding angle.In addition, the initial value of the current angular 114 on the right of the calculating formula is equal to the current angular that animation performs start time 114 etc..

In addition, if the number of processing being for example updated to the current location or current angular reaches the execution time Number, then it is described to show that completion animation control unit 203 just terminates the display completion animation and shown.

In addition, for example in the animation display action, in the feelings that the data value for distributing holder region is changed Under condition, the display completion animation control unit 203 stops the animation display action, current location when this is stopped or works as anterior angle The original position for being set to new or start angle are spent, starts new animation display action.Thus, such as carry out aobvious illustrated by Figure 18 Show.

In the case where the variable quantity of the data value in distribution holder region is less than threshold value set in advance, the animation shows The portion 203c of showing is not in units of the execution cycle but with the m times of (m in the execution cycle；Integer) cycle be unit (such as Using m × Δ t as unit), the processing for showing figure is performed according to the current location after the renewal or current angular.On the other hand, The processing example of m=2 situation is illustrated.

In addition, for example as one, in the case that the graphical representation project is instrument, the display completion animation control Portion 203 is shown by carrying out the determination and renewal of the angle of the gauge pointer to enter the animation of enforcement pointer rotation.

Here, the display color storage unit 204 is in advance each numerical value each related to the position of the figure or angle Scope accordingly stores random color.

Animation display part 203c for example when showing the figure with current location or current angular, with the current location or The corresponding color of current angular is shown.

Finally, reference picture 21, an example of the operation method of the angle of the pointer of instrument is illustrated.In addition, should Thus operation method sheet, simply illustrates below as prior art.

As shown in Figure 21 (a), the calculating formula of the angles of display of the pointer of instrument is as described below.

Angles of display=[value/(maximum-minimum value) of monitoring holder] × (angle at the end-start angle)

" value of monitoring holder " in above-mentioned calculating formula utilizes above-mentioned data 74, and maximum, minimum value utilize maximum 100th, minimum value 99, angle at the end, start angle utilize ending corner 98, initial angle 97.

In addition, on item image, maximum 100, minimum value 99, ending corner 98, initial angle 97 are equivalent to such as Figure 21 (b) content shown in.

In addition, the item image of the instrument shown in Figure 21 (b) is for example as the background image data and pointer shown in Figure 21 (c) View data is formed.In this method, show in completion animated actions, the angle of pointer image data is determined or change every Δ t.

In addition, in above-mentioned explanation, it is illustrated using instrument as concrete example, is certainly not limited to the example, such as Or bar graph etc..In the case of instrument, the data value for monitoring holder is scaled angle as described above, and bar graph In the case of data value is scaled position.Position refers to such as the XY coordinate datas of the front end of rod.

Also, in the case of instrument, pointer is gradually moved (rotation) from current angular to angle on target as described above, And in the case of bar graph, it is that the front end for making rod is gradually moved to target location from current location although not illustrating especially.Separately Outside, above-mentioned angle on target is angle corresponding with the numerical value after change as described above, and above-mentioned target location also illustrates that big with this Cause the identical meaning.

As described above, the programable display of this example, the display completion cartoon display method, more particularly to utilizes instrument Or graph position as bar graph etc. or angle show the project of the type of numerical value, are in other words related to be visually readily appreciated that Form show as defined in supervision object numerical value project.Also, situation about particularly being changed in the numerical value of supervision object Under, it is not that (currency) switches to display corresponding with the numerical value after change directly before change, but performing animation and showing makes The angle or position that the angle of its before change (currency) or position are gradually moved to after change.In this explanation, such as institute above State, such a animation being shown to, being referred to as display completion animation shows.

Programable display obtains data for the determination or renewal of its display content with the constant cycle, as described in the past Like that, it is necessary to which carrying out communication with external connection apparatus 4 obtains data.Therefore, if the time spent in view of communication, the perseverance Fixed cycle needs to reach length more than certain level, it is difficult to obtains data with the short cycle.For it is such as such the reasons why, Arbitrary data obtain the data value obtained during processing and are possible to obtain the data value (last time obtained during processing with the data of last time Value) compared to significantly being changed.

Although for example, being gradually changed sometimes in the connection side data value of equipment 4, the problem of due to the constant cycle, have Newest data value may be obtained with the state varied widely in the side of programable display 1.However, even in such situation Under, due to above-mentioned reason, it is also difficult to shorten data and obtain the cycle.Or that is, enabled realize shortens the cycle, but it is negative also to produce communication Carry rise, influence programable display 1 other functions perform the problem of.Thus, no matter which kind of situation, be actually all difficult to Shorten data and obtain the cycle.

Although being not limited to such example, such as in the case where instrument is shown, it is expected pointer with simulate ground, glibly The mode of mobile (rotation) is shown.However, particularly in the case where the variable quantity of data value is larger, conventional pointer wink Between carry out larger movement, the actual instrument of no image of Buddha shows the renewal (rotation of pointer) of display content glibly like that.Separately Outside, in this case, user may leak the moment for seeing that pointer angle changes.

On the other hand, in this method, by carrying out above-mentioned display completion animated actions, even if not raising traffic load, Following effect can be obtained：Glibly it was observed that the display content of the project using the type of the figure shows numerical value such as chart or instrument Renewal.In addition, can also obtain user will not leak effect as the change for seeing above-mentioned moment.

Further, since user can arbitrarily set the time (animation interval) that display completion animated actions are spent, because This can provide the animated actions matched with the sensation of user.

In addition, as already mentioned, the "/" of this explanation represents "or", "or".Thus, such as " or/and " represent " or or and ".Similarly, such as " position/angles " expression " position or angle ".Similarly, such as above-mentioned " present bit Put/angle " expression " current location or current angular ".Similarly, such as above-mentioned " target location/angle " expression " target location Or angle on target ".Similarly, such as above-mentioned " original position/angle " expression " original position or start angle ".
