Abstract:
1. A data processor that requires setting a plurality of items to a plurality of data sets in order to implement a prescribed function, the data processor comprising: a setting unit that sets an item to a data set; a determining unit that determines whether a data set which is set for an item by the setting unit satisfies a prescribed condition required for the data set of the item; a first prompting unit that prompts the setting unit to change the setting of an item from the currently setting item by the setting unit to remaining one of the plurality of items other than the currently setting item when the determining unit determines that a data set which is set for the currently setting item satisfies a prescribed condition for the data set of the currently setting item; a second prompting unit that prompts the setting unit to change a setting of an item from the currently setting item by the setting unit to one of the items that has been previously set by the setting unit when the determining unit determines that a data set which is set for the currently setting item is out of conformance with a prescribed condition for the data set of the currently setting item; an order storing unit storing an order of items, wherein the setting unit sets an item based on the order of items stored in the order storing unit; and a third prompting unit prompting the setting unit to change a setting of an item, wherein the plurality of items includes at least three related items which relate to one another and at least one independent item which is independent of the at least three related items, the at least three related items being arranged successively according to the order of items, wherein when the setting unit sets a related item and when the determining unit determines that a data set which is set for the related item currently set by the setting unit is out of conformance with a prescribed condition required for a data set of the related item currently set by the setting unit, the third prompting unit prompts the setting unit to change a setting of an item from the related item currently set by the setting unit to another related item that is an initial item, according to the order of items, among the at least three related items.
