Abstract

PURPOSE:To display effectively many menu data in a limited display area by switching and displaying divisionally data of each level of menu data having the hierarchical structure. CONSTITUTION:Menu data having the hierarchical structure consisting of data A-D belonging to the highest level, namely, level 1, data A1... belonging to level 2, and data A11... belonging to level 3 are structured hierarchically as shown in the figure. With respect to display of hierarchical menu data, a display screen is divided into three, and data are displayed in the hierarchical level order of levels 1-3 from the left to the right, and an input area for screen upward switching is formed in the upper end of the display part of each level, and an input area for screen downward switching is formed in the lower end. With respect to display of parts which cannot be displayed, a cursor is moved to said input area for screen switching, and a screen switching command is inputted to switch and display data only on the corresponding display screen.

Conventionally, as a method for displaying hierarchical menu data and switching screens, data groups belonging to a certain hierarchy are displayed on the screen, and by selecting and inputting certain data from the displayed menu data, data groups in the lower layer of that data are displayed. was being displayed toggle. In this method, the operation to obtain the desired command is more complicated and time consuming than menu data having many layers.

Furthermore, as a method for displaying one-layer menu data, there is a method of displaying menu data across all layers at once on the screen. With this method, the desired command can be obtained by referring to the displayed menu and inputting the combination data, reducing the frequency of operations and eliminating the need for screen switching, which eliminates wasted time. It can be omitted. However, this method requires a large display area to display a large amount of data, and it becomes difficult to search for combination data for obtaining a desired command from an unnecessarily large amount of data.

According to the present invention, menu data having a hierarchical structure is divided and displayed for each layer.6 The switching method is as follows: the screen is switched upward at the top of the display section of each layer that is divided and displayed, and the screen is switched downward at the bottom of the screen. Input areas for screen switching are provided, and by moving a cursor to these areas and inputting a screen switching command, split screen switching display is performed.
