Definitions
- the invention relates to an operating method for representing a person by an object, an arrangement on which a person can be represented by an object, and a corresponding program product.
- Operating programs are generally used to operate modern data processing systems. These operating programs provide a number of types of objects and links that are required again and again for the operation of the data processing system. By using the operating programs it can be avoided that each new representative of a type has to be re-programmed from scratch. Instead, it can be created much faster and easier by assigning certain properties.
- Operating programs are to be seen in particular as operating systems, but also programs running on the operating systems such as operating system emulators or, for example, complex date and address management, which in turn
- the objects of operating programs are divided into folders and files.
- the folders provide the structure in which the files are stored.
- Files in turn are divided into documents and programs.
- Documents contain data, but cannot be executed by the data processing system. Programs against it are executable on their own, but often still require arguments for execution, which can be flags or documents, for example.
- Data processing systems represented as objects in the form of documents For this purpose, the name of the person to be represented is usually assigned to a document and address data such as address, telephone number and / or e-mail address are stored in the document.
- the document representing the person can be edited by changing its content, renaming the document and / or moving the document to another folder. If the data processing system is equipped with a graphical user interface, the movement can be carried out by clicking on the image object representing the document with a pointing instrument, for example a mouse or a stylus operating on a touchpad, and dragging over a new folder.
- a pointing instrument for example a mouse or a stylus operating on a touchpad
- a document representing a person can also be used as an argument for a program of the data processing system by dragging it onto the program.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of simplifying the operating sequence of data processing systems and making them easier and faster to control.
- the operation of data processing systems is to be made easier for a user, while new uses of the data processing system are available to him at the same time.
- the object is achieved in that the person is represented by at least one person program.
- the representation can also be made equivalent by a link to a personal program.
- a program is a personal program if, in addition to its name, it contains person-specific program sections that are individualized by the personal characteristics of the person represented by the personal program. It is therefore not enough if the program only bears the name of the person.
- the personal program can be distributed over several files, wherein a separate file can be provided for the person-specific program sections.
- the advantage of representing the person through a program instead of a document or through a folder is that the object that represents the natural person is no longer just an argument for other programs of the data processing system, such as display, printing and Communication programs, serves. In order to carry out actions for the person represented, according to the state of the art, the object representing the person must first be fed to a program, both for the user and for the user
- Standard program called and used the document as an argument for the standard program. But here, too, the person is represented by a document and not by a personal program, which is particularly evident from the fact that the object representing the person cannot be married to another document.
- the person-specific program sections contain in particular address data of the person represented by the person program. Address data are for example a postal address, an email address, a telephone number, a fax number etc.
- the person-specific program sections which express the personal characteristics of the person represented by the person program, are of the same type in many, preferably all, person programs, so that another person can be represented by exchanging these program sections with the person program.
- the method can have steps in which individual person-specific program sections are changed in order to adapt them and thus the person program as a whole to changed or new characteristics of the person.
- a step can be provided in which the person program is married with an argument on which it is executed.
- the marriage involves bringing together the personal program and the argument. You can add the person program to the argument or the argument to the person program.
- the argument is processed in a person-specific manner by the person program, the personal characteristics of the person represented in the person-specific program sections of the person program for the same argument in person programs for different people leading to different results if the respective person program is executed on the argument.
- An argument can, for example, be a text file that is sent to the person by fax or email after the person program has been executed on this argument.
- the method can be designed such that the person program is executed differently on different types of arguments. Sending or printing to the person represented by the person program is conceivable for text documents, while when executing on an audio file a call is made to the person represented by the person program.
- Standard execution option can be selected, which is usually carried out without asking.
- This standard execution option can preferably be preset by the user.
- the method can be carried out in such a way that, depending on the object with which the object representing the person is to be milled, the object to be merged with a document representing the person or a personal program representing the person is being married. For example, in the case of a text file as the object to be milled, this is milled with a person's program, while in the case of a fax program as the object to be milled, this is milled with a document representing the person, which contains a fax and the fax number of the person.
- the person becomes a document representing the person and / or a link to a document representing the person as well as represented by a personal program and / or the link to a personal program.
- a completely new object type is thus created here, which can have both the properties of a document and the properties of a program, the method being used to determine transparently which properties are used for the individual application and for the user of the data processing system.
- the method is advantageously displayed at least partially on a graphical user interface.
- the personal program is shown in particular as a surface object of the graphical user interface.
- a surface object is the representation of an object of the data processing system on the graphical user interface.
- the argument on which the program is executed becomes the program by dragging a surface object assigned to the argument to the surface object of the
- a pointing instrument When executing the method, a pointing instrument can be used with a plurality of keys arranged side by side, a dialog opening with which the properties of the person program change by actuating the keys which are not used for pulling can leave. These characteristics include, for example, the name, address, telephone number, email address, height, birthday, hobbies, favorite foods or other personal characteristics of the person represented by the personal program.
- the method can also differentiate between different pressure durations. Then the dialog for changing the
- An arrangement for data processing that is set up to carry out one of the described methods can be implemented, for example, by appropriate programming and setting up a computer or a computing system.
- a program product for a data processing system which contains software code sections with which one of the described methods can be carried out on the data processing system, can be implemented in a programming language by suitable implementation of the method.
- the software code sections are stored for this.
- a program product is understood to mean the program as a tradable product. It can be in any form, for example on paper, a computer-readable data medium or distributed over a network.
- Figure 1 is a graphical user interface on which people, programs and documents are displayed.
- Figure 2 shows another graphical user interface on the
- FIG. 1 shows a graphical user interface 1, on which programs PROG, documents DOCU and persons PERS are displayed in separate areas 2, 3, 4.
- a document can be married to a program by dragging its user interface object onto the user interface object of the program using a pointing instrument, such as the mouse pointer 5 represented by an arrow, and dropping it there.
- a pointing instrument such as the mouse pointer 5 represented by an arrow
- the user interface object of the program can equally well be dragged onto the user interface object of the document and dropped there.
- the program PROG 2 is executed on the document DOCU 1 on the data processing system on which the operating method, which is partially represented by the user interface 1, is carried out.
- the document DOCU 1 is used by the PROG 2 program as an argument when it is executed.
- the execution can include a wide variety of actions. For example, the document DOCU 1 is on
- Text document and the program PROG 2 a word processor, so the execution in the opening of a window on the graphic user interface 1 exist, in which the text of the document DOCU 1 is displayed and can be edited.
- the operating method recognizes whether a file that is to be married to the representation of a person, represented by a user interface object for a person, is a document or a program. If the file is a program, it is merged with a document representing the person. If the file is a document, on the other hand, it is merged with a program.
- a person program is a program that represents a person by containing person-specific program sections that are individualized by personal characteristics of the person represented by the person program. As such, it is independent of other programs in that it is executable on its own.
- the person program and also the user interface object by which the person program is represented can advantageously bear the name of the person represented by the person program.
- the individualization of a personal program is not limited to the name, but also contains it always other person-specific program sections.
- person-specific program sections ensure that the document that is merged with the person program is processed in a person-specific manner.
- the invention can be designed such that the document represented by the user interface object DOCU 2 is dragged and dropped onto the document represented by the user interface object PERS 1
- Personal program is sent to the person represented by the personal program. Sending can take place, for example, as a fax or as an email if the document represented by the surface object DOCU 2 is a text document. On the other hand, it is a
- Audio document so it can be sent as voice mail or over the phone.
- a standard function of the personal program can depend on the class of the document on which the
- Person program is executed, can be set.
- the standard function of the e-mail sending, for the class of text documents for example, set 'will, while offering the standard function of calling for the class of audio files.
- a class is made up of all documents on which the same type of program is normally executed.
- a list of options OPTION 1, OPTION 2, OPTION 3, OPTION 4 is displayed in an input menu by the operating method on the graphical user interface when grinding a document with a personal program.
- the user of the data processing system can then use the list to select an option and thereby which function the person program is to perform on the document.
- a general standard sequence of functions can also be specified, which is processed depending on the presence of the necessary person-specific data.
- this standard sequence is, for example, for text documents email, fax, file transfer
- a text document added to a personal program is sent by email, provided that the email address of the person represented by the personal program is included in the personal program as a person-specific program section. If there is no e-mail address but a fax number, the text document will be sent by fax. Finally, if there is no fax number included, the method of sending the file transfer is selected.
- the personal program can be connected to a timer which allows the execution, also of parts of the program, to take place at a predetermined point in time.
- the user of the data processing system is preferably given feedback on the execution of the personal program.
- This feedback can indicate the sending process and the transport medium used.
- Person programs can now in turn the person-specific for the respective person program Program sections are taken into account. For example, if a text document is added to the person program group, depending on the standard function set in the person program, it can be faxed to one person in the group while it is being sent to another person by email.
- FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment in which people, programs and documents are not shown in separate areas on the graphical user interface 1. Rather, a folder structure is predetermined by three windows, which can be configured as desired by the user of the data processing system. Thus, the surface object PERS 3 representing a person program can be dragged from one window into another and dropped there, whereby the associated person program is moved from the folder belonging to the first window to the folder belonging to the second window.
- Personal programs are particularly advantageous in the context of address and communication programs, meetings and portable communication devices. It makes it possible to operate and operate the associated data processing systems more easily, quickly and reliably.
