DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples.

[0010] (Configuration of Business Management System 1) First, the configuration of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a business management system 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the business management system 1 includes a server 2 and a plurality of (three in Fig. 1) client terminals 3. The server 2 and the client terminals 3 are connected via a communication network N so as to be able to communicate information.

[0011] The server 2 is, for example, a server on the cloud, and provides support for the business management system 1 in each company that has introduced the business management system 1. For example, the server 2 provides the client terminal 3 with the business system program 331 used by each company in the business management system 1, and upgrades the business system program 331 installed on the client terminal 3 and the business application program included therein (hereinafter referred to as the business application). In addition, the server 2 generates notification information to be notified to the user of the client terminal 3 and transmits it to the client terminal 3 via the communication network N. For example, when maintenance of the server 2 or an upgrade of the business system program 331 or the business applications included therein in the business management system 1 is performed, the server 2 generates notification information notifying the date and time of the upgrade, the details of the upgrade, etc., and transmits it to the client terminal 3 via the communication network N.

[0012] The client terminal (information processing device) 3 is, for example, a terminal device used by an employee of each company that has introduced the business management system 1. Examples of the client terminal 3 include a notebook PC (Personal Computer) and a desktop PC. However, the client terminal 3 is not limited to these and may also be a smartphone, a tablet PC, a mobile phone, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

[0013] The communication network N is assumed to be, for example, the Internet, but may be another network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0014] (Configuration of client terminal 3) Next, the functional configuration of the client terminal 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the client terminal 3.

[0015] 2, the client terminal 3 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 31, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 32, a storage unit 33, an operation unit 34, a display unit 35, a communication unit 36, a clock unit 37, and a bus 38. The components of the client terminal 3 are connected to each other via the bus 38.

[0016] The CPU 31 is a processor that controls each part of the client terminal 3. The CPU 31 reads out a specified program from among the system programs and application programs stored in the storage unit 33, expands it in the RAM 32, and executes various processes in accordance with the program. The CPU 31 functions as a display control means in cooperation with a business system program 331, which will be described later.

[0017] The RAM 32 is, for example, a volatile memory, and has a work area for temporarily storing various programs and data read by the CPU 31.

[0018] The storage unit 33 includes a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD) that can write and read data, and stores files including various programs and data.

[0019] The programs stored in the storage unit 33 include a business system program 331 provided by the business management system 1. The business system program 331 is configured to include a plurality of business applications. The business applications are applications for each business to perform various businesses that can be performed by the business management system 1 (for example, quotation, order taking, sales, ordering, purchasing, billing, inventory management, etc.). The business system program 331 also includes a support panel display control processing program for controlling the display of the support panel 352 (see FIG. 3). The support panel display control processing program includes a program for executing application-linked display processing, which will be described later.

[0020] The storage unit 33 is also provided with a business system DB (Data Base) 332. The business system DB 332 is a database for storing basic information required for various business operations that can be performed by the business management system 1, such as a product master table, a customer master table, a supplier master table, an inventory management table, and a customer-specific unpaid balance table, as well as information input by a business application of the business system program 331 (such as information on order slips, sales slips, purchase orders, invoices, and purchase slips) or information calculated based on the input information.

[0021] The storage unit 33 also has a tab display information storage area 333, in which display information corresponding to each of the multiple tabs T1 to Tn (n=4 in this embodiment) displayed on the support panel 352 shown in FIG. 3 is stored in association with a tab ID for identifying the tab, a tab name, and a flag indicating whether the tab is unread.

[0022] The tab names of the tabs and the display information corresponding to each tab are not particularly limited, but in this embodiment, tab T1 is a "Notice" tab, and is a tab for displaying, as display information, notification information (notice information) and the like notified from server 2. Tab T2 is a "Sticky Note" tab, and is a tab for displaying, as display information, reference information (sticky note information) corresponding to operations (referred to as application operations) on main screen 351 (see FIG. 3). Tab T3 is a "Schedule" tab, and is a tab for displaying schedule information as display information. Tab T4 is a "Help" tab, and is a tab for displaying, as display information, help information for a running business application and the like.

[0023] The operation unit 34 has a key input unit such as a keyboard and a pointing device such as a mouse, and receives key operation inputs and position operation inputs from a user (operator), and outputs the operation information to the CPU 31. The CPU 31 receives the user's input operations based on the information transmitted from the operation unit 34.

[0024] The display unit 35 is configured with an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an EL (Electro Luminescence) display, or the like, and performs various displays according to instructions from the CPU 31.

[0025] The communication unit 36 ​​is configured by a network card, etc. The communication unit 36 ​​is communicatively connected to a communication network N and communicates with devices on the communication network N.

[0026] The clock unit 37 is configured by an RTC (Real Time Clock) or the like, measures the current date and time, and outputs it to the CPU 31.

[0027] (Operation of client terminal 3) Next, the operation of the client terminal 3 in the business management system 1 will be described. When the business system program 331 is started, the CPU 31 performs the following processing in cooperation with the business system program 331.

[0028] First, CPU 31 displays a login screen on display unit 35 to perform login authentication. If the user is permitted to log in, CPU 31 causes display unit 35 to display main screen 351 (first screen) and support panel 352 (second screen), as shown in FIG. 3. Main screen 351 is a screen on which the user performs a task. Support panel 352 displays tabs T1 to T4 (second display area), and display information (first information) supporting the task on main screen 351 is selectively displayed in area 355 (first display area) by selecting one of tabs T1 to T4. If display unit 35 is equipped with multiple displays, main screen 351 and support panel 352 may be displayed on different displays. Then, CPU 31 causes main screen 351 to display a menu screen for selecting a task to be performed. When a task to be performed is selected from the menu screen using operation unit 34, CPU 31 launches and executes a task application corresponding to the selected task, and causes main screen 351 to display a screen corresponding to the selected task (referred to as a task screen). The user follows the business screen displayed on the main screen 351 to perform a business operation such as creating a slip.

[0029] Furthermore, while the user is logged in, CPU 31 executes support panel display control processing in cooperation with business system program 331, controls the display of tabs T1 to T4 on support panel 352, and controls the display of display information corresponding to a selected tab among tabs T1 to T4 on support panel 352. The shapes of tabs T1 to T4 are not limited to those shown in Fig. 3, as long as they have the function of switching display information displayed in a predetermined area on the display screen (on support panel 352 in this embodiment). For example, they may be in the shape of buttons on which the tab names are displayed.

[0030] As described above, the tab T2 is a tab for displaying reference information in accordance with an application operation, i.e., display information corresponding to the tab T2 is added or deleted in accordance with the application operation. For example, when a business application for sales operations is launched and a sales slip input screen is displayed on the main screen 351 as shown in Fig. 4, if customer information 351a is selected using the operation unit 34, information 352a and 352b (e.g., credit limit, accounts receivable balance, last sales date, etc.) about the selected customer (Arai Shokai in Fig. 4) is added as display information corresponding to tab T2 on the support panel 352. If product information 351b is selected using the operation unit 34, information 352c (e.g., available allocation quantity, minimum inventory quantity, etc.) about the selected product (the scientific calculator GU-1000 in Fig. 4) is added as display information corresponding to tab T2 on the support panel 352. Subsequently, when product information 351c is selected by operation unit 34, information 352c relating to the previously selected product (the scientific calculator GU-1000 in FIG. 4) is deleted, and information relating to the newly selected product (the TV-3500 in FIG. 4) (not shown, but for example, the available number of items, the minimum number of items in stock, etc.) is added as display information corresponding to tab T2 on support panel 352. Note that detailed information can be displayed by clicking on the display information added to support panel 352.

[0031] However, when a tab other than tab T2 is selected, the display information for tab T2 is hidden and cannot be seen, so conventionally, users may not notice when the display information for tab T2 is added or deleted in response to application operations. Tabs T1 to T4 display the number of unread items, but unless the user happens to witness the timing when the number of unread items changes, the user cannot notice the increase or decrease in the display information. As a result, there are cases where the display information for tab T2 cannot be used effectively.

[0032] Therefore, in this embodiment, when display information corresponding to tab T2 is added or deleted in response to an application operation, tab T2 is displayed in a display manner that makes it possible to identify that the information has been added or deleted. The process for implementing this control will be described below.

[0033] 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the display information addition / deletion process executed by a business application of the business system program 331. The display information addition / deletion process is executed by the CPU 31 in cooperation with the business application being executed by the business system program 331 while the business application is running.

[0034] The CPU 31 waits for an application operation to be performed (step S1). When an application operation is performed (step S1; YES), the CPU 31 determines whether the performed application operation is a predetermined operation corresponding to the addition of display information corresponding to the tab T2 (step S2).

[0035] If it is determined that the performed application operation is a specified operation corresponding to adding display information corresponding to tab T2 (step S2; YES), the CPU 31 reads the information to be added from the business system DB 332 in accordance with the performed application operation, notifies the support panel display control processing program (support panel) that the read information will be added as display information corresponding to tab T2 (step S3), and returns to step S1.

[0036] For example, when customer information 351a is selected on the sales slip input screen displayed on the main screen 351, predetermined information (e.g., credit limit, accounts receivable balance, last sales date, etc.) related to the selected customer information 351a is read from the customer master table and the outstanding balance table by customer in the business system DB 332, and the support panel display control processing program is notified that the read information should be added as display information corresponding to tab T2. Furthermore, for example, when product information 351b on the sales slip input screen is selected, predetermined information (e.g., the number of items that can be allocated, the minimum number of items in stock, etc.) relating to the selected product information 351b is read from the product master table, inventory management table, etc. of the business system DB 332, and the support panel display control processing program is notified that the read information should be added as display information corresponding to tab T2.

[0037] If it is determined that the performed application operation is not a specified operation corresponding to the addition of display information corresponding to tab T2 (step S2; NO), CPU 31 determines whether the performed application operation is a specified operation corresponding to the deletion of specified display information corresponding to tab T2 (step S4). If it is determined that the performed application operation is a specified operation corresponding to the deletion of specified display information corresponding to tab T2 (step S4; YES), CPU 31 notifies the support panel display control processing program of the display information to be deleted in accordance with the performed application operation (step S5), and returns to step S1. If it is determined that the performed operation is not an operation for deleting the display information (step S4; NO), the CPU 31 returns to step S1.

[0038] The CPU 31 repeatedly executes steps S1 to S5 until the currently running business application is terminated.

[0039] 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of application-linked display processing for controlling the display of tab T2 on support panel 352 in response to a notification from a business application. The application-linked display processing is executed by cooperation between CPU 31 and the support panel display control processing program of business system program 331 while any business application of business system program 331 is running.

[0040] In the application-linked display processing, first, the CPU 31 refers to the tab display information storage area 333 to count the number of unread items of display information corresponding to the tab T2, stores the count in the RAM 32, and displays the number of unread items U1 (see FIG. 7) on the tab T2 (step S21).

[0041] Next, the CPU 31 waits for a notification from the business application (step S22). When a notification is received from the business application (step S22; YES), the CPU 31 determines whether the received notification is a notification of addition or deletion of display information (step S23).

[0042] When it is determined that the received notification is a notification of addition of display information (step S23; Add), the CPU 31 adds a record to the tab display information storage area 333, associates the tab ID, tab name, and unread flag of the tab T2 with the notified display information, and stores them in the added record (step S24). Note that when the tab T2 is in a selected state, the added display information is additionally displayed in the area 355 of the support panel 352. Furthermore, the CPU 31 adds 1 to the number of unread items for the tab T2 stored in the RAM 32, and updates the display of the number of unread items U1 for the tab T2 on the support panel 352 (step S25). Furthermore, an up arrow A1 (second information) indicating that display information corresponding to tab T2 has been added is displayed near the number of unread items U1 of tab T2 on support panel 352 for a predetermined period of time (step S26), and the process returns to step S22.

[0043] 7(a) is a diagram showing an example of the display of tab T2 when display information corresponding to tab T2 is added. As shown in FIG. 7(a), when display information corresponding to tab T2 is added in response to an application operation, an up arrow A1 is displayed for a predetermined period of time near the number of unread items U1. Therefore, even if a tab other than tab T2 is selected, the user can easily recognize that display information corresponding to tab T2 has been added in response to an application operation, and can effectively use the display information of tab T2 for work on the main screen 351.

[0044] The predetermined period for which the up arrow A1 is displayed may be, for example, until the number of unread items changes, or may be displayed for a predetermined period of time. Furthermore, the second information indicating that display information corresponding to tab T2 has been added is not limited to displaying an up arrow A1 for a predetermined period of time. For example, the second information may be displayed by blinking tab T2 or the number of unread items in tab T2 for a predetermined period of time at a gradually increasing blinking speed. Furthermore, instead of the up arrow A1, the second information may be displayed by displaying a symbol or character that allows the user to recognize that display information has been added (increased), such as a symbol or character such as "+," "increase," or "add."

[0045] When it is determined that the received notification is a notification to delete display information (step S23; delete), CPU 31 deletes the notified display information from tab display information storage area 333 (step S27). Note that when tab T2 is in a selected state, the notified display information is deleted from area 355 of support panel 352. Furthermore, the CPU 31 subtracts 1 from the number of unread items for the tab T2 stored in the RAM 32, and updates the display of the number of unread items U1 for the tab T2 on the support panel 352 (step S28). Furthermore, a down arrow A2 (third information) indicating that the displayed information on the tab T2 has been deleted is displayed for a predetermined period of time near the number of unread items U1 on the tab T2 of the support panel 352 (step S29), and the process returns to step S22.

[0046] 7(b) is a diagram showing an example of the display of tab T2 when the display information corresponding to tab T2 is deleted. As shown in FIG. 7(b), when the display information corresponding to tab T2 is deleted in response to an application operation, a down arrow A2 is displayed near the number of unread items U1 for a predetermined period of time. Therefore, even if a tab other than tab T2 is selected, the user can easily recognize that the display information corresponding to tab T2 has been deleted.

[0047] The predetermined period for which the down arrow A2 is displayed may be, for example, until the number of unread items changes, or may be displayed for a predetermined period of time. Furthermore, the third information indicating that the display information corresponding to tab T2 has been deleted is not limited to displaying a down arrow A2 for a predetermined period of time. For example, the third information may be displayed by blinking tab T2 or the number of unread items in tab T2 for a predetermined period of time at a gradually slower blinking speed. Furthermore, instead of the down arrow A2, a symbol or character that allows a user to recognize that the display information has been deleted (decreased), such as "-", "decreased", or "removed", may be displayed as the third information.

[0048] The CPU 31 repeatedly executes steps S21 to S29 until the business application is terminated. For tabs other than tab T2, the CPU 31 displays the number of unread items based on other programs included in the support panel display control processing program, and when display information corresponding to a tab is added or deleted, it updates the display of the number of unread items, just as when display information corresponding to tab T2 is added or deleted, and displays the tab in a display manner that makes it possible to identify whether display information corresponding to the tab has been added or deleted.

[0049] As described above, the CPU 31 of the client terminal 3 displays display information (first information) in the area 355 (first display area) of the support panel 352 of the display unit 35, and when the display information displayed in the first display area is added to the tab display information storage area 333, the CPU 31 displays an up arrow A1 (second information) indicating that the display information has been added in the tab (second display area) corresponding to the added display information. Therefore, it is possible to notify the user that display information corresponding to a tab has been added in the limited space of the tab, and even if display information corresponding to a tab different from the currently selected tab has been added, the user can easily recognize this.

[0050] In addition, the CPU 31 of the client terminal 3 displays display information (first information) in an area 355 (first display area) of the support panel 352 of the display unit 35, and when the display information displayed in the first display area is deleted from the tab display information storage area 333, displays a down arrow A2 (third information) indicating that the display information has been deleted in the tab (second display area) corresponding to the deleted display information. Therefore, it is possible to notify the user that the display information corresponding to the tab has been deleted in the limited space of the tab, and even if the display information corresponding to a tab different from the currently selected tab has been deleted, the user can easily recognize this.

[0051] For example, when display information corresponding to one of the multiple tabs on the support panel 352 is added or deleted in response to an operation on the main screen 351, the CPU 31 updates the number of unread items and displays the tab in a display manner that makes it possible to identify whether the display information corresponding to the tab has been added or deleted. Therefore, even if display information corresponding to a tab other than the currently selected tab is added or deleted in response to an operation on the main screen, the user can easily recognize this fact and can effectively use the display information of the added tab for work on the main screen.

[0052] Furthermore, for example, when display information corresponding to a tab is added, CPU 31 displays an up arrow on the tab for a predetermined period of time, and when display information is deleted, CPU 31 displays a down arrow on the tab for a predetermined period of time, thereby notifying the user that display information corresponding to the tab has been added or deleted within the limited space of the tab. Thus, even when display information corresponding to a tab different from the currently selected tab has been added or deleted, the user can easily recognize this.

[0053] Furthermore, for example, when display information corresponding to a tab is added, CPU 31 blinks the tab or the number of unread items for that tab for a predetermined period at a gradually increasing blinking speed, and when display information is deleted, CPU 31 blinks the tab or the number of unread items for that tab for a predetermined period at a gradually decreasing blinking speed, thereby notifying the user that display information corresponding to that tab has been added or deleted within the limited space of the tab. Thus, even when display information corresponding to a tab other than the currently selected tab is added or deleted, the user can easily recognize this.

[0054] Furthermore, for example, when display information corresponding to a tab is added, CPU 31 displays a symbol or character indicating that the display information has been added on that tab for a predetermined period of time, and when display information is deleted, CPU 31 displays a symbol or character indicating that the display information has been deleted on that tab for a predetermined period of time, thereby notifying the user that display information corresponding to that tab has been added or deleted within the limited space of the tab. Thus, even when display information corresponding to a tab other than the currently selected tab has been added or deleted, the user can easily recognize this.

[0055] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, the display mode when display information corresponding to a tab is added or deleted is not limited to the above.

[0056] Furthermore, for example, when display information of a selected tab is added or deleted, CPU 31 may perform control so as not to change the display mode of the selected tab (i.e., not to display the second information or the third information). This is because the display information of the selected tab is displayed on the screen, and is therefore likely to be easily noticed by the user.

[0057] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been disclosed in which an HDD or SSD of the storage unit 33 is used as a computer-readable medium for the program according to the present invention, but this is not limiting. Other computer-readable media may also be used, such as flash memory or portable recording media such as CD-ROMs. Furthermore, a carrier wave may also be used as a medium for providing data for the program according to the present invention via a communication line.
