Title: Synchronising display of parameter setting tabs and their location in a hierarchical tree structure
Inventor: SATO TETSUYA
IPC: G06F3/0482
Filed: 2012-05-24
Abstract: A user interface for setting parameters arranged as a series of tasks forming a data structure is displayed on display means. The interface area is divided into two windows, one 601 displaying the nodes of the data structure as a tree diagram 602-605, the other 609 detailing the individual settings as a series of tabs 610-612. Management means are provided to manage each node along with its associated tab or tabs. When the system detects (Fig. 13) that a user has selected a specific node in the tree structure, the relevant tab is displayed on the tab display area; when a specific tab is selected, the system identifies the relevant node and indicates it as having been selected 603. This prevents the user from losing sight of which parameter is currently being set, and assists the user in selecting the specific parameter they seek to set. The system may also change the focus of the cursor if a specific selection field is desired (Fig. 12), and may indicate whether the field has been filled or not.
