Problems solved by technology

[0017] In this way, the reverse focus movement operation will not return the focus to the original GUI component, which is very unnatural and inconvenient for the user
For example, when the user mistakenly moves the focus to an unwanted direction, even if the reverse operation is performed, the focus cannot return to the original GUI component, but moves to another GUI component. Therefore, the operation of returning the focus to the original GUI component time consuming and laborious

Embodiment 1

[0058] The device for setting focus objects of GUI components according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention can arbitrarily set the respective upper, lower, left and right search ranges of each GUI component when calculating the focus objects of GUI components.

[0059] Such as Figure 5 As shown, the focus purpose setting device 100 includes: a GUI position information storage part 101, which is used to store the positions of the GUI components that constitute the GUI; a range information storage part 103, which is used to store the set upper, lower, left and right ranges ; The focus purpose calculation part 104 is used to calculate the focus purpose of each GUI component based on the position information of each GUI component stored in the GUI position information storage part 101 and the range information stored in the range information storage part 103; The focus purpose storage component 102 is configured to store the focus purpose of each GUI component calculated by...

Embodiment 2

[0094] In the case where the range in each direction of each GUI component is arbitrarily set, there is a possibility that, due to the arrangement of the GUI components, there occurs a GUI component that cannot obtain the focus. Embodiment 2 will describe the processing of the focus purpose setting device for eliminating such disadvantages, the device structure and

[0095] Example 1 ( figure 1 )same.

[0096] When the range in each direction of each GUI component is arbitrarily set, in some cases, due to the arrangement of the GUI components, there may be a GUI component that cannot be focused from any GUI component.

[0097] For example, there are situations where, as Figure 18 The GUI components 148, 149, and 150 are arranged as shown, and the range in the up-down direction of each GUI component is set much wider than the range in the left-right direction. In this case, the GUI component 149 is set as the focus object in the downward direction of the GUI component 148 ,...

Embodiment 3

[0119] In the focus purpose setting device of Embodiment 3, the creator of the GUI application and the user of the GUI application can individually set the focus purpose of a part of all GUI components. Its device structure and embodiment 1 ( figure 1 )same.

[0120] For example, if Figure 23 As shown, when the GUI components are arranged in a two-level form, it can be generated through the calculation processing of the focus purpose described in Embodiment 1. Figure 24 The list of focus objects shown, and with Figure 23 Arrows in to set the direction of each focus target.

[0121] However, for the arrangement of the GUI components, the creator of the GUI application and the user of the GUI application need to move the focus to the GUI components 157 and 160, which are the heads of the stages. Dangru Figure 25 When the focus is moved to a different level as shown, the Figure 26 The desired focus objects are respectively set in the displayed focus object list.

Abstract

A GUI part focus destination setting apparatus comprises searching means for searching a destination GUI part of a focus, which moves based on an operational direction of operating means in a state that a target GUI part is used as a starting point, in a search range in each direction around the target GUI part; and setting means for setting the searched GUI part as a destination of the focus corresponding to the operational direction where the target GUI part is used as a starting point. The searching means varies the search range. This makes it possible to fix the range in each direction and to set a focus moving direction, which is suitable for the arrangement of GUI parts, and a focus moving direction where a user can perform operations easily.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-278370 filed on September 13, 2001, the entire contents of which are expressly incorporated by reference in this application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a GUI component focus purpose setting means and a focus moving means for judging a focus purpose between GUI components constituting a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and a focus moving means for performing focus movement, and particularly It relates to improving the operability of a focus movement operation. Background technique [0004] In recent years, among many information devices such as personal computers (hereinafter referred to as PCs), televisions, cellular phones, etc., the types of devices using a graphical user interface (GUI) are increasing. [0005] A GUI screen is composed of GUI components such as links, buttons, lists, check boxes, etc. displayed on the s...
