Patent ID: 7031975

Claim:
A picture data creation method for creating, by means of a computer, picture data necessary to display on a display unit a picture in which two or more items and input columns made to be correspondent with the individual items are provided, wherein the input columns are provided for selecting setting values correspondent with the items from a plurality of setting value candidates which can be correspondent with the items and inputting the selected setting values, and the computer has a step of creating picture data necessary for causing the display unit to display a picture in which the mutually different setting value candidates are displayed as defaults in the individual input columns; wherein the computer is a memory device controller, the memory device controller is communicatively connected to a plurality of memory volumes for storing data so as to manage/control the memory volumes, the memory device controller is communicatively connected to an information processing apparatus, and the information processing apparatus unit includes the display unit, wherein the two or more items are identifiers of two or more copy source memory volumes, the copy source memory volume is a memory volume serving as a copy source of data, the setting value is an identifier of a copy destination memory volume, the copy destination memory volume is a memory volume serving as a copy destination of the data of the copy source memory volume, the setting value candidate is a copy destination memory volume candidate, and the copy destination memory volume candidate is a memory volume having the same construction as the copy source memory volume and being able to be a copy destination of the data of the copy source memory volume, and wherein when the correspondence is made between the individual two or more copy source memory volumes and the copy destination memory volumes, the computer creates, in the step of creating the picture data, picture data necessary for causing the display unit of the information processing apparatus to display a picture in which mutually different identifiers of the copy destination memory volume candidates are displayed as defaults in the individual input columns.
