  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of a computer corresponding to a file information display apparatus according to the present invention. The computer used in this embodiment can be realized with a general-purpose hardware configuration that has existed in the past. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the computer 1 is provided with a CPU 2, a ROM 2, a RAM 3, an HDD controller 5 connected to a hard disk drive (HDD) 4, a mouse 6 and a keyboard 7 provided as input means, and a display device. An input / output controller 9 for connecting each display 8 and a network controller 10 provided as a communication means are connected to an internal bus 11.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block configuration diagram of the file information display device 20 in the present embodiment. In the file information display device 20, for example, folders are related and managed in a hierarchical structure, such as Docworks (registered trademark) manufactured by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. or Microsoft Windows system, and the hierarchical relationship of folders is displayed in a tree structure. It is assumed that a file management system capable of displaying on the display device is installed. In addition, the file information display device 20 includes an input processing unit 21, an indicated position detection unit 22, a display processing unit 23, a table management unit 24, a processing correspondence table 25, and a file storage unit 26. The input processing unit 21 receives user operation content using the mouse 6 and the keyboard 7 input from the input / output controller 9. The accepted user operation naturally includes a selection operation by a click operation on the folder icon, but the indicated position detection unit 22 selects the clicked position on the folder icon when the folder icon is clicked. Is detected. This position detection will be described in detail later. The display processing unit 23 displays the hierarchical relationship of each folder generated when the file is stored in the file storage unit 26 on the display 8 in a tree structure. In addition, information related to files stored in the display target folder is displayed on the display 8. The display of information about folders and files on the display 8 is basically performed by the function of the file management system, so that the processing function provided by the display processing unit 23 in the present embodiment is incorporated in the file management system. Will be. The table management unit 24 performs information management such as updating the setting contents of the processing correspondence table 25. The file storage unit 26 stores files to be displayed. In the present embodiment, the file storage destination has no characteristics. Therefore, only the file storage unit 26 is shown as the storage destination of the file to be displayed for the sake of convenience. Possible files can be displayed.

  Each component 31-24 in the file information display apparatus 20 is implement | achieved by the cooperative operation | movement of the computer which forms the file information display apparatus 20, and the program run by CPU1 mounted in the computer. The processing correspondence table 25 is realized by the RAM 3 or the HDD 4 of the file information display device 20, and the file storage unit 26 is realized by the HDD 4. Further, the program used in this embodiment can be provided not only by communication means but also by storing it in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of a window screen displayed by the display processing unit 23 in the present embodiment. The window screen displayed by the display processing unit 23 includes a folder display area 31 and a file information display area 32. In the folder display area 31, a folder icon 33 is displayed so that the hierarchical relationship of folders can be grasped. More precisely, the folder icon 33 is expanded in the folder icon display space, and when the folder icon display space is wider than the folder display area 31, a scroll bar 34 is displayed by the file management system. The user can display the folder icon display space located in the range selected by operating the scroll bar 34 in the folder display area 31. The basic display control for the folder display area 31 is the same as that of the file management system that has existed before, except for the characteristic display control of the present embodiment described later.

  In the file information display area 32, information (hereinafter simply referred to as “file information”) 35 relating to the file stored in the selected folder is displayed. The file information includes information specifying each file such as a file name and image information when thumbnails are displayed, and attribute information about the file such as a file size. In FIG. 3, the file name, size, and update date are shown for convenience of the following description. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the corresponding file is displayed in a reduced size. The file information is, for example, a desired display format from a pull-down menu displayed by selecting the display button 36 on the menu bar. By selecting, the display format can be switched between the thumbnail display or the list display, and the display order of the file information can be selected. The display control for the file information display area 32 is the same as the display control described for the folder display area 31. That is, the information about the file stored in the selected folder is expanded in the file information display space, and when the file information display space is wider than the file information display area 32, a scroll bar is displayed by the file management system. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the file information display space is narrower than the file information display area 32. The basic display control for the file information display area 32 is the same as that of the existing file management system except for the characteristic display control of the present embodiment described later.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of the folder icon 33, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of data setting in the processing correspondence table 25 in the present embodiment. Information preset in the processing correspondence table 25 will be described with reference to these drawings.

  When the folder icon 33 is regarded as a rectangular shape, FIG. 4 shows that the rectangle is logically equally divided into four areas. The top left vertex of the folder icon 33 is the origin of coordinates (0, 0), and the bottom right vertex coordinate is (1, 1). Since each of the divided regions 37 to 40 has a rectangular shape, the range of each of the divided regions 37 to 40 can be specified by specifying the coordinates of the upper left and lower right vertices of each of the divided regions 37 to 40. FIG. 4 shows the vertex coordinates of the divided areas 37 to 40. Here, in the setting example of the processing correspondence table 25 shown in FIG. 5, the upper left and lower right vertex coordinates capable of specifying the respective ranges of the divided regions 37 to 40 in FIG. 4 are set, and each region designation information is set in each region designation information. The contents of the display control process are associated with each other. For example, a display control process called name order is associated with the divided region 37. In other words, the program to be executed can be switched depending on the setting for the display control process, or the parameter values (in this example, “name order”, etc.) passed to the same display control process program can be changed.

  Next, processing for displaying file information in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  When the file management application is activated, folder and file information is displayed on a predetermined window screen (step 110). Thereafter, it is assumed that the user wants to display information on files stored in the folder 3, for example, arranged in order of names. The user knows in advance the setting contents in the processing correspondence table 25 shown in FIG. Therefore, the user who wants to display the file information in the order of the name operates the mouse 6 and clicks the upper left part of the folder icon 33 of the folder 3.

  When the folder icon 33 is clicked (Y in step 120), the input processing unit 21 receives the user input operation sent from the input / output controller 9, that is, the click operation of the folder icon 33 of the folder 3, and the indicated position The detection unit 22 detects which position on the folder icon 33 is clicked (step 130). Subsequently, the display processing unit 23 receives the designated position coordinate data detected by the designated position detection unit 22, and the designated position coordinates and the area designation information of each of the divided areas 37 to 40 set in the process correspondence table 25. Are identified in which divided region the designated position coordinates are included (step 140). In this example, in the display processing unit 23, the user clicks on the upper left portion of the folder icon 33, and the divided region 37 having the upper left vertex coordinates (0, 0) and the lower right vertex coordinates (1, 1). Recognize that the inside is clicked. Thereby, the display processing unit 23 executes the display control process associated with the divided area 37, the process of sorting and displaying the file information in the order of names according to the setting example shown in FIG. 5 (step 150), The execution result is developed in the file information display space (step 160). The display processing unit 23 displays all or part of the file information display space in the file information display area 32 (step 170). A display example when this file information is displayed on the screen is shown in FIG. In this display example, an example in which all of the information related to the files stored in the folder 3 can be displayed in the file information display area 32 is shown. However, the amount of file information is large, and the entire file information display space is displayed in the file information display area 32. When it is not possible, a scroll bar is displayed so that the screen can be scrolled.

  The above description is an example of processing when the user clicks on the upper left part of the folder icon 33 in order to display the file information sorted in order of name. However, in order to display the file information sorted in order of date. Even when the upper right part of the folder icon 33 is clicked, the display process is executed in the same manner according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  That is, when the position instruction operation by the click operation of the folder icon 33 by the user is detected, the display processing unit 23 detects the click position detected by the instruction position detection unit 22 and the divided areas 37 to 40 set in the processing correspondence table 25. By comparing with the area designation information, it is recognized that the click position coordinate is clicked in the divided area 38. As a result, the display processing unit 23 performs display control processing associated with the divided area 38, that is, sorts the files in date order, expands the file information in the file information display space, and displays the file information in the file information display area 32. A display example when file information is displayed on the screen by this processing is shown in FIG.

  Note that the processing contents when the user clicks on the lower left portion of the folder icon 33 in order to display the file information sorted in order of size are the same as described above, and thus description thereof is omitted. As a result, a display example obtained is shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the file information is displayed in descending order according to the size, but may be displayed in ascending order. This depends on the display control processing program, but a switchable button may be prepared in advance, or both the descending order and the ascending order are assigned to the folder icon 33, that is, both in the processing correspondence table 25. You can also respond by setting

  Further, as is clear from the setting example of the processing correspondence table 25 shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, no display control processing can be set in the lower right part of the folder icon 33. In this embodiment, in this case, it is assumed that the display is performed in the immediately preceding display form or format, but this can be arbitrarily set.

  To display file information in a desired display format, it was necessary to select a menu bar, display a pull-down menu, and select from the menu. According to the embodiment, since it is only necessary to click a position on the folder icon to which a desired display form is assigned, operability can be improved.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the example in which the file information display form indicating how the file information is arranged is assigned to each divided area of the folder icon is shown. In the present embodiment, an example in which the display format is assigned to each divided area of the folder icon is shown. In the file management application, information about the files stored in the folder is used as character information such as file name and size, and the list format for displaying the list and thumbnail images generated from the actual data of the file as file information. Some have a thumbnail format to display. In the present embodiment, the display format can be selected by clicking the folder icon.

  In the first embodiment, the folder icon 33 is divided into four as shown in FIG. 5, but in the present embodiment, it may be divided into two. That is, FIG. 10 shows a setting example of the processing correspondence table 25 according to the present embodiment. According to the setting example shown in FIG. 10, the left half of the folder icon 33 is assigned a thumbnail format and the right half is assigned a list format. It has been.

  The file information display process in this embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, when the user who wants to display in the thumbnail format clicks on the left side of the folder icon 33 of the folder 3, the display processing unit 23 displays information related to the files stored in the folder 3 in the thumbnail format. An example when the screen is displayed in this thumbnail format is shown in FIG.

  If the user wants to display a list, the user can click the right side of the folder 3 on the folder icon 33, and the display processing unit 23 displays a list of information about the files stored in the folder 3. To do. An example when the screen is displayed in this list format is shown in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, an example is shown in which each format is arranged and displayed in order of name, but this is a button for switching the display form as described in the ascending / descending order in the first embodiment. Or by further dividing the folder icon 33.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In each of the first and second embodiments, the file information is sorted according to the file attributes such as the file name and size selected by the user and expanded in the file information display space, and the file information arranged in the file information display space is displayed as a file. It has been described that the information is displayed in the information display area 32. If the file information display space is not large compared to the display range of the file information display area 32 as exemplified in the first and second embodiments, all file information can be displayed simultaneously, but this is not the case. In this case, all the file information expanded in the file information display space cannot be displayed at the same time. Therefore, in this case, the file information display space is partially displayed, but this embodiment relates to a display process suitable for such a case.

  FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram showing a file information display space in a state where file information is expanded. In this figure, an example is shown in which the file information is expanded in the file information display space 41 in a state where the file information is not aligned, but in the present embodiment, how the file information is expanded. The file information display space 41 only needs to be wider than the file information display area 32, regardless of the above. The file information display space 41 in the present embodiment has a rectangular shape as usual. Further, the file information display space 41 in the present embodiment is assumed to be larger than the file information display area 32.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of data setting in the processing correspondence table 25 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the folder icon 33 is divided into four parts and used, and the vertex of the file information display space 41 is set as the origin to correspond to each of the divided areas 31 to 34. The vertex position of whether or not to display in 32 is set in the display control processing.

  The display process in the present embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Accordingly, the contents of the processing will be described by paying attention to differences from the first embodiment.

  When the lower right part on the folder icon 33 of the folder 3 is clicked by the user who wants to display the file information in the file information display area 32 with the lower right vertex of the file information display space 41 as the origin, the display processing unit 23 The file information is expanded in the file information display space 41. In this embodiment, there is no feature in how the file information is arranged and expanded in the file information display space 41, but here, the user displays the file information in order of date. And the user clicks on the lower right part of the folder icon 33.

  After that, when the display processing unit 23 recognizes that the lower right vertex is the origin by referring to the processing correspondence table 25, the lower right vertex 45 in the file information display space 41 is set to the right of the file information display area 32. Fit below. FIG. 15 shows the result of alignment and display as described above. As is clear from this display example, file information relatively close to the lower right of the file information display space 41 is displayed in the file information display area 32.

  As a result, the user who knows that the file information is displayed in order of date selects the lower right vertex 45 as the origin, so that information on the latest file can be displayed on the screen more reliably.

  Further, FIG. 16 shows a screen display example when the upper left portion on the folder icon 33 of the folder 3 is clicked by the user who wants to display the file information in the file information display area 32 with the upper left vertex of the file information display space 41 as the origin. Shown in Note that the display processing at this time is different only in which vertex is used as the origin, and the description of the display processing in this case is omitted. According to the display example shown in FIG. 16, since the file information is displayed with the upper left vertex 42 in the file information display space 41 aligned with the upper left of the file information display area 32, the information about the old file is more reliably displayed. It can be displayed on the screen. Since the same processing is performed for the upper right vertex 43 and the lower left vertex 44, description thereof is omitted.

  When the file information display space 41 is larger than the file information display region 32, the file information display space 41 can be displayed only partially at the same time. However, according to the present embodiment, the click position of the folder icon 33 is changed. In consideration, the file information display space 41 and the file information display area 32 can be easily aligned.

  By the way, in this embodiment, since the file information display space 41 is larger than the file information display area 32, the entire file information display space 41 cannot be displayed at the same time. In order to solve this problem, in the present embodiment, one of the vertices of the file information display space 41 is displayed in the file information display area 32 as the origin. In order to specify the position of the origin, the folder icon is divided into regions, and the vertex corresponding to the clicked divided region is set as the origin. However, since the file information display space 41 is larger than the file information display region 32, the folder icon does not necessarily have to be divided into areas to solve which part of the file information display space 41 is displayed. Good. For example, if the center of the left side of the folder icon is clicked, the center of the file information display space 41 between the vertices 42 and 44 is displayed as the origin. Also, assuming that about 20% from the upper side of the right side of the folder icon is clicked, when the area between the vertices 43 and 45 of the file information display space 41 is 1, the area that approaches the 20% vertex 45 from the vertex 43 is set as the origin. indicate. In this way, without dividing the folder icon, the portion of the file information display space 41 that is in a relative positional relationship with the clicked position may be displayed as the origin.

  In each of the above embodiments, the display format and display format of file information can be set only by considering the click position on the folder icon, so that the operability of setting the file information display format and the like is improved. Can do.

  In each of the above embodiments, the file attribute such as the name and size, the display format such as the thumbnail format, or the display portion of the file information display space 41 can be easily set by the click position of the folder icon 33. As described above, not only a single function is selectively installed in the apparatus, but all functions are installed so that one of them can be switched by, for example, a predetermined key operation. May be.

  In each of the above embodiments, the folder icon is divided into two or four. However, depending on the attribute to be assigned, the folder icon may be divided into three or five or more. However, if the number of divisions is increased, there is a higher possibility that it will not be possible to click in the desired divided area. For example, an incorrect operation may be performed in advance by, for example, enlarging the folder icon with the mouse cursor set over a predetermined time. It may be possible to prevent this.

  In each of the above embodiments, the folder icon is equally divided. However, it is not always necessary to equally divide the folder icon. In each embodiment, the size of each divided area can be easily adjusted simply by changing the area designation information configured from the coordinate data of the processing correspondence table 25. Note that this can be changed by the table management unit 24 in accordance with an instruction from the user.

  Alternatively, the number of clicks by the user may be counted, and the size of the divided area may be automatically adjusted according to the counted number. In other words, when a certain divided area is clicked more than the others, the user wants to be displayed in a display form associated with that divided area. It becomes easy to click by enlarging it accordingly. Thus, the size of the divided area may be automatically adjusted according to the selection frequency.

  However, if the size of the divided area is automatically adjusted, the boundary with other divided areas tends to be unclear. Even if the size of the divided area is fixed, the boundary with other divided areas may be difficult to understand. Therefore, in such a case, the display attribute may be different from at least the adjacent divided area, such as drawing with a different color from the folder icon at the boundary of the divided area, or adding a different color, pattern, etc. for each divided area. Thus, it is preferable to clarify the range of each divided region.

  In each embodiment, the area to be click-detected is limited to the folder icon. However, a general file management application displays folder names in a row of folder icons, and displays information about files stored in the folder even if the folder name is clicked. Accordingly, display information related to a folder such as a folder name is not limited to the folder icon, and may be a click detection target area together with the folder icon.
