KR20020006906A - Computer user interface - Google Patents

Abstract

The computer executes the human desire for action through the system. With this point in mind, the present invention has realized a convenient interface using the basic 5W1H, which represents the human behavior in a solution to the problem of the interface between the current computer and the user.

Description

Computer User Interface

Interfaces that make computers easier to use for humans include shells such as Bash, Csh, and DOS, and improved ones such as Norton Command. It is the GUI of the graphical environment that has been developed so that humans can see and use the computer. However, improvements have been made, but there are still problems such as the user having to go through a lot of acquisition processes.

In other words,

The functionality of the application continues to expand, with the adoption of an increasing number of new features.

Each time the user has a hard time finding new commands, and as the menu grows,

The advantage of the GUI is that it fades and suffers from the inability to remember many commands even in frequently used applications.

-The icon that executes the command by clicking on the icon with the mouse increases its number and occupies most of the screen.

As a substitute for -icon, shortcut keys that perform keystroke commands simply list menus inconsistently, which makes the shortcuts complex.

The user cannot memorize the shortcut without using it for a long time. This tends to make users more likely to use only one program. Therefore, even a slight inferiority due to lack of marketing ability in other markets is often expelled from the market.

The present invention uses the current menu command system using items of why, what, how, where, when and who (hereinafter referred to as 'items') using 5W1H.

-Simplified command menu

The purpose of the user using the application (why: to do something, for something), what (something), method / how, where, time and who The items are divided into and clarified.

-Even if the function is improved, it is always configured to have a certain shape menu by adding only a part of each item.

-Users are configured to feel familiar with the composition of the menu even for different application programs.

In the current GUI environment, the menu has to be expanded with several command menus for this one function according to the addition of one function. However, the present invention is a combination of 12 content commands of the why item and 5 command objects of what. Rather than creating a menu of 60 commands of 12 x 5, 12 commands of why and 5 command objects are created, and command execution is simplified by dragging and dropping or clicking and pointing them. You can execute more detailed commands by pointing additionally to the contents of other items such as where. Adding a function is as simple as adding one to the what item and using other why and where menus.

The menu structure of the existing GUI is composed without any special standard. There is no clear coherence / correlation between the main menu and subordinate submenus, and there is no clear distinction between the purpose and object. The command menu is simply created due to lack of space, so the contents of the menu do not tell you what to do. Therefore, the detailed description of the command menu specified by the mouse on the status bar is shown to help the user understand. This requires additional use of memory. In the present invention, when a menu is selected by clicking a menu such as a command menu and a target menu of an operation / task to be performed, all other related menus are activated and appear without a separate explanation. It is easy to see.

In the existing Windows environment, all shortcuts should be memorized and the configuration of the shortcuts is configured to press the shortcut key activation key-> main menu selection shortcut-> submenu selection shortcut. However, in the present invention, since the command menu is clearly distinguished, pressing the hotkey activating key and simultaneously or next ignores the items of the main menu, that is, 5W1H, and only the first letter of the menu of each item in the order of a sentence structure such as general 'Save file'. By pressing it can be used easily without memorizing. In the existing GUI, the save file was possible by a combination of 'Alt' * 'F' * 'S' keys. However, in the present invention, the save file can be used by pressing 'Alt' * 'S' * 'F'. Instead of simply reordering the hotkeys, activate the hotkey function with 'Alt', 'S' for the 'save' command, and 'F' for the file command. The save frame and the shortcut can be the same, but in this case you can select it. In the present invention, the shortcut key combines one or more leading characters of the command menus of each item of 5W1H to use a command of the same method as the human sentence representation mentioned above. The functions of the menus in the GUI can be implemented as well, but there is no clear standard in each of the main menus and submenus, so it is simply like activating the shortcut key-> some letters in the main menu-> some letters in the submenus. Very inconvenient structure.

By using this shortcut function, it is used instead of icon, that is, it displays the command menu by displaying the head character of the command menu designated by the shortcut key on the screen, and shows the number of icons by dragging and dropping between the head character icons or by clicking each other with the mouse. Can be reduced. This method was used only for moving files between the desktop and the explorer, moving files to the print icon, and moving blocks in the document composer.

Existing menus have less clear standards or relevance between command menus, so in order to use future voice recognition commands, a separate voice command system must be constructed and used. However, the present invention is a convenient structure for executing a voice recognition command, such as' print (why) block (what) starting from 20th line to 100th line (where).

Conventional menus have a long command menu with a mixture of verbs and nouns. However, the present invention is simple because each command menu consists of one word, and is configured to execute a command by combining one or a plurality of command menus, so that the area of the screen is small.

Since the menu pointing consists of a combination of a plurality of items, it is possible to start from any item of 5W1H. That is, you can start with why and specify what or what-> why.

Existing OS should use separate batch program to execute batch command and link with application program. In order to use, these functions had to be equipped separately. In addition, in order to call a function of an application program in a batch program, the macro function of the application program must be used, and a menu must be specified by pressing a menu using a mouse or have a separate function of doing this role. However, the present invention has a clear menu configuration, and several commands such as save (why) file (what) every 5 minutes (when)-> send (why) file (what) to Hong Gil-dong@manisan.com (who) ' Can easily be executed in batch or macro language in a statement.

In an existing OS, a sub-window appears when you call a menu, and lists other items in the sub-window. It is possible to specify. Therefore, if you are not familiar with it, you will not know which sub window will appear in this menu. However, in the present invention, since commands and necessary objects are all displayed on the menu of the item of 5W1H, the functions and items to be set can be easily seen by only viewing the menus.

Existing GUI can call the command to print the content to view the HTML file on the browser and to print the source code to another program to print the source content, but using the present invention, if you execute the print of why The contents are printed. If you specify a print file and specify the source of how, the source is printed. Also, if you specify print and block, only the contents of the block are printed. In the existing GUI, you will have to create another command. Even with the added functionality, the menu structure of commands can be maintained. That is a futuristic command menu system.

English is a side-by-side language, and the number of the command menu is limited due to the limitation of the width of the computer screen. 7 to 10 is the maximum limit. The present invention has a maximum of six horizontally arranged menus.

The above-mentioned GUI does not refer to any particular program or OS, but rather has similar GUI configurations on MS Windows, Mac OS, X Windows on Unix, and other operating systems, all of which are collectively referred to simply as GUIs.

In the Internet, mobile phones, and regular telephones, menus are increasing dramatically with the diversification of functions and contents to inform customers. However, due to the unified and different ways of using such menus, users often have to press menu function buttons and memorize functions. On the Internet, you have to go through various inconveniences to find out whether you are looking for various menus. This is a great inconvenience. In particular, it is very important to provide a convenient environment for users by establishing a certain system of various menus of the homepage on the Internet. It is very important for visitors to stop by the homepage and get a quick overview of the entire contents of the homepage and immediately go to the information they want. In particular, considering the speed of internet access, they spend a lot of time clicking on various places to find out if they have the information they want. This waste of time is a major factor in reluctant to use on-line versus off-line visits or phone calls.

Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 10-1998-0044776 (October 26, 1998)-Applicant: Yu Chun-yeol-"WWW search keyword standard and search method" is the invention of the web keyword creation method and database field using the six principles. In addition, a hierarchical representation method is described. The present invention expresses the sixth principle more simply as "purpose" and "object", "verb" and "other parts of speech" or "predicate" and "object / bore" and "what / where / who / how". / when "is included. This "what / where / who / how / when" item can be added to each item as needed. The present invention also utilizes a hierarchical representation to facilitate the expression and retrieval of sub-items.

5W1H items such as why, what, how, place / where, who and when humans want to use a computer (hereinafter referred to as '5W1H') Each item is referred to as 'item'), so that the user can express the function clearly by expressing it with the intended purpose and object.

These functions / effects are used as the overall user interface on the computer system, and the command menus of each program are also displayed in this way so that the user can easily know the function of the application.

Improve the inconvenience of the existing command menu to eliminate the inconvenience of memorizing the shortcut key and have a structured configuration so that you can simply use the shortcut without learning process.

The functionality of the program increases with complexity, minimizing the icons on the screen. Use as many shortcuts as possible instead.

By separating the words that make up the command menu, you can use the command menu composed of one word and combine these command menus to implement various functions. If you click on the command menu of an item, related menus of other items will appear on the screen, so it is easy to understand the function of the whole program without any explanation.

Maximizing the features of the present invention to make the macro language for automation and batch program all the functions of the application program in the sentence representation using the menu command, or to use the batch program easily using a shortcut key.

Menu commands should be organized as much as possible with the sentence structure of the language used by human beings, and freely expressed according to the characteristics of the sentence structure of each language. For example, the menu command 'save file' in English can be called 'save file' in Korean.

This invention is not only a way of organizing a program, but also by pressing the Windows 'Start' key at the OS level, such as 'Program', 'Favorites', 'Document', 'Settings', 'Find', 'Run', etc. Configure and utilize as the menu of.

The DOS command in the DOS window and the Prompt command in the terminal window of Unix / Linux have many options, and users can run them without having to open the window, so that they do not consume much computer resources and use various functions. Despite the advantages that can

-Lots of optional commands, complicated to memorize, and easily forgotten

Reluctant to use The same applies to the Prompt command, which groups the commands in some of the most rational ways, to invoke commands by this group, or to combine them into several, to execute them all at once. By reclassifying and subdividing into subgroups, commands and command options can be called and used without having to remember them.

All of the items in the 5W1H are full and complex to use, and when analyzing the actual menu, some items are used rather than all six items. The most frequently used items among 5W1H items are mainly used, and the remaining items are included in the what item or added as needed.

Construct a database and menu system for the actions and objects that you do not want to be complicated. Use hierarchical representations to easily organize representations and searches.

Applicable to various applications. Application fields are used as database field items, menus of various electronic devices, especially portable devices, and menus of computer systems.

The hierarchical representation allows for better search results than general search engine / method category searches.

The present invention can be applied to a menu on an Internet homepage so that visitors can simply find the contents of the homepage by simply browsing the contents of the homepage.

Figure 1 shows a menu made using the 5W1H interface of the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows the menu of FIG. 1 by reorganizing the duplicated commands one by one.

3 is a command usage flowchart of 5W1H applied to a terminal prompt.

4 is a flow chart when applied to the 5W1H shell.

Using the 5W1H of why, what, how, where, when, and who represent human behavior, the command menus of existing computer systems Break down your tasks / tasks using a computer. In other words,

why is a command that tells the purpose and reason of what you want to do with your computer or application,

what is what you want to do,

how is how to perform items belonging to items like why and what,

where is a spatial location or location representing a network address, disk drive, or directory.

when is the time at which to execute the command,

who represents a creature such as a person or an animal. It can be a subject or an object.

1 illustrates a command menu of an internet browser using the present invention. 1 represents the item of 5W1H. Here, each existing command menu is divided into 5W1H items and displayed on one line. One thing to note is that the why item has the same menu of commands, such as 'save' and 'edit'. This is because the menu of 'save file' and 'save frame', 'edit file' and 'edit frame' in the existing command menu system are separated.

2 represents your favorite Internet site, and 3 represents a directory that stores disk drives and documents on the network or on your PC. Enumerate using ',' in 3. The description indicated that there are several menus in the dependent menu.

The '>' mark of 4 indicates that a submenu exists.

5 '()' indicates that the search keyword is entered according to the 'search' command menu.

'when' can specify the time when the auto save is done. The example in Figure 6 shows saving the file automatically every five minutes.

how is means. This section shows how to do this, and in Figure 7, we show two cases: 'save file as is' and 'save file as new'.

The 'who' field indicates the name of a user on the network computer, a single PC, or an address book. When saving a file, you can save it with a specific username. 8 is saved under the name 'Choonyeol'. 9 shows an example of searching an 'search' in an 'who' item using an internet search engine.

FIG. 2 illustrates one command menu that overlaps with each item of FIG. 1 above. In FIG. 1, only one 'save' and 'edit' menu is shown. The command menu has been simplified. Lines connecting the command menus between the items of FIG. 2 (for example, 20 in FIG. 2) show correlations between the command menus. In order to execute a single command, only one command menu can be specified. You can do this, but specify the 'save' menu of the 'why' item as in the 'save file', and the related menu appears in the 'what' item. If the 'what' item has multiple related command menus, select one of them, and if there are other related menus, specify it. You can also select or type in items such as 'where'. That is, when the 'save' menu of the 'why' item is pressed, the 'file' and 'frame' menus as shown in FIG. 1 are activated and one of them can be selected. Also, clicking 'file' of 'what' activates 'save' 'open' 'send' and 'edit', and selecting 'save' shows 'as source' in 'how' item as indicated by line 21 You can select 'and choose the location to save in the' where 'item.

As you can see from this example, all the tasks / tasks the user wants to do with the computer and the application are described in the menu under the item of 5W1H. You can run

Also, in the existing OS, a dependent window appears and does almost everything on one screen / window without reselecting or typing.

If you press the menu of 'save', the related command menu of other items will be activated on the screen, so you can see the function as 'save file at c: \ as sales.txt' at a glance. These features continue to pop up and reselect, and in traditional schemes where the command menu should be displayed shortly due to the area of the screen, the behavior of the menu is not known, so a status bar is placed at the bottom of the application's window. Contrary to the explanation, the user can simply know what the command menu is doing.

In Windows OS, a similar function is placed at the bottom of the program window to help explain the functions of each menu. This in turn requires a lot of memory resources.

Shortcut keys are very important functions that help you to use an application or its functions simply like icon. The shortcut keys use the first letter of each menu and combine to form the shortcut keys. There is no need to memorize separately. That is, the leading letter of each menu of why and what items in FIG. 2 is expressed in English as shown in Table 1 below.

Hotkey Example sf (save file), sf (save frame), sf (send file) pf (print file), pf (print frame) of (open file) se (setup environment), sp (setup print) p (print), p (preview), p (paste) cb (cut block), cb (copy block), sa (select all) fw (find word) frw (find / replace word) sis (search on the internet thru simmani search engine) vts ( view tools search) vtl (view tools location) vtp (view tools personal) si (show image) hi (hide image) sv (show videos) hi (hide videos) ss (show sound) hs (hide sound) ef (enlarge font ls (lessen font) r (reload) eh (encode in Hangul) eu (encode in English) ec (encode in Chinese) ej (encode in Japanese) g (go to) or m (move to)

If there is more than one shortcut, such as 'sf' or 'p' above, the letter following the first character used as the letter of the shortcut can be added as a shortcut. In other words, 'sfi' is specified if 'save file' is the intended command. 'save frame' is 'sfr' and 'send file' is 'sef'. If you press a shortcut key and press 'p' at the same time or consecutively, you don't know which of 'print', 'paste' or 'preview' will do. Pressing 'pf' at this time is a 'print file' command, 'pa' is a shortcut to 'paste' and 'pre' is a 'preview' operation. Alternatively, a plurality of menus can be shown on the screen to select one of them.

Due to the characteristics of the shortcut key, a command menu having the same function may be expressed as a plurality of words having the same meaning. In FIG. 1, go (10) and move (11) represent commands having the same function in different words. In the above shortcut table, the shortcut for 'go' is 'g' and the shortcut for 'move' is 'm'.

Shortcuts for this purpose are very close to the user in that they take full advantage of the functionality of the computer and use the terminology we use in commands.

By using this shortcut function, it is used instead of icon, that is, it displays the command menu by iconizing the head character of the command menu designated by the shortcut key, and drags and drops between the head character icons or clicks each other with the mouse to maintain the function of the menu. The same function can be executed by iconizing. In other words, the icon 'sa' represents the 'save' command menu, the icon 'se' represents 'Setup', 'pr' represents 'printer' and 'fi' represents 'file'. Display these icons in the application program, and specify 'se' and 'fi' with the mouse to save the file. The leading characters of 'enable', 'enlarge' and 'encode' in 'en' are the same but this is not a problem. 'en' + 'i' means 'enable image', 'en' + 'f' means 'enlarge font', and 'en' + 'E' means 'encode into English'.

Or, as in the example of the shortcut key described in Table 1 above, the shortcut key consisting of only the first letter of each menu, such as 's', 'p', 'f', is displayed as an icon. Is activated, and click or drag & drop the activated icon again to execute the command. At this time, if there are a plurality of commands having the same function according to the combination of one shortcut key, all the corresponding commands can be displayed on the screen and selected as in the case of the shortcut key above.

To use icon in the same way as the command menu, when the icon is displayed only by the letter of the shortcut key, the shortcut keys such as verbs, nouns, and adverbs may be the same. That is, the 'v' icon / shortcut key may be 'view' of the command menu of 'why' or 'video' of the 'what' item. Therefore, a certain order must be set for pressing icon / shortcut key. This order preserves the characteristics of each language. That is, in English, 'why', 'what' / 'who', 'how', 'where' and 'when', and in Korean, 'what' / 'who', 'why', ' how ',' when 'and' where '.

The function of the command menu using the 5W1H of the present invention may serve not only in an application but also as a shell such as a desktop or 'Start' menu of Explorer or Windows. The method is the same and the details are as follows.

Example of 5W1H OS Shell why what who how when where to edit file CY Yu with HWP tomorrow internet to create system with wordpad Aug / 9 / '99 ip> 168.126.30.5 to find program with vim @ 10: 00 c: \ doc to setup people with paintshop network to navigate mail with iexplore to view news with netscape to shutdown hardware mouse with outlook to install keyboard to run modem vga monitor network adapter sound cdrom block software word processor drawing / graphic audio cdplayer browser web editor

This can be done in several ways, depending on the environment, such as typing 'to edit', 'file', 'with HWP' or 'to edit' 'with HWP'. In other words, arrange each command icon of 5W1H on the X window or Windows desktop and click on them. The basic principle is the same as described above.

5W1H also applies to commands on a terminal prompt. The following table 3 applies the 'Tar' command frequently used in the terminal of Unix to the principle of 5W1H.

Application example of 5W1H's Terminal Prompt command why what how where when catenate file (s) syslink restores the original file same directory newer than Aug / 09 / '99 create directory (s) Exclude file modification time different directory older than compare files listed in File except to standard output delete Subdirectory list Keep existing time update block size = N x 512Byte extract reblock as we read run script at end of each type ignore blocks of zeros don't exit with non-zero status on unreadable files keep exiting files begin at file F staying in local file system create / list / extract multi-volume archive extract all protection info. don't strip leading '/' from file names show record # remove files after adding them to archive list of names to extract is sorted to match archive maintain same ownership handle sparse files efficiently reads null-terminated names, disable -C print total bytes written with --create verbosely display create archive with volume name NAME ask for confirmation for every action filter the archive thru compress filter archive thru gzip specify drive $ density

In the above table, the "who" item is unnecessary. Therefore excluded. Many of the 5W1H items are not covered in this command. When 'file (s)' is called in 'what', the relevant items such as 'where' and 'when' are activated, and when the item is called up, sub-detailed options appear, describing the user's wishes accordingly. Again another active item pops up on the screen for the user to enter.

It is a command system that is easy to use and powerful because it is often used as a mandatory command because of its powerful functions and many command options. It is easy to use because it is divided into six sub-items and each item's subcommand options can be associated with the corresponding command options of another item.

3 is a flow chart illustrating this process. First select the command you want to run on the Terminal Prompt. 3 (1 in Fig. 3), the key to call the 5W1H item is called to call 5W1H (2) select one of these to enter (3) or directly enter an item without calling the 5W1H item (4 ). When 5W1H item selection confirmation means is entered (5), the option corresponding to the item of 5W1H is displayed on the screen in the command options of the corresponding command, and the one corresponding to the desired operation is selected from the subcommands of this option. (6). Enter the command option input confirmation means again (7), decide whether or not the 5W1H item should be called up to enter additional command options (8), and then return to step 2 if you need to enter additional command options. Otherwise enter command execution means (9). The command is then executed (10). After 2 'Enter 5W1H Item Calling Method', 5W1H may continue to display the same item. In other words, 'why' may be displayed in one command option and 'why' may be displayed again, but the detailed command option of the 'why' item will be different.

Table 4 shows an example of execution.

5W1H Command Execution Example number Execute / Enter Command One $> tar F2 $> tar why 2 $> tar why what where when 3 $> tar why F2 $> tar 1 F2 4 $> tar -create -update -extract 5 $> tar why 1 F2 $> tar -c F2 6 $> tar -c how what where when 7 $> tar -c 1 F2 8 $> tar -c -compress with gzip -keep time -block size of Nx512 Byte -reblock as we read -run script at end of each tape -begin at file F in archive -stay in local file system -multi volume archive -extract all protection info -don't strip leading '/' s from file names -show record number within archive with each message -remove files after adding to archive -list of names to extract is sorted to match archive -create extracted files with the same ownership handle sparse files efficiently -print total bytes written with --create -verbosely show -create archive with volume name NAME -ask for confirmation 9 $> tar -c 1 F2 10 $> tar -cz F2 11 $> tar -cz how what where when 12 $> tar -cz 1 F2 13 $> tar -czv F2 14 $> tar -czv what where when 15 $> tar -czv -file 16 $> tar -czv 1 F2 17 $> tar -czvf report F2 18 $> tar -czvf report where what 19 $> tar -czvf report ./*.txt

'Why' from 6 to 2 in Table 4 is not reappeared, but it is different for each command, so 'why' is selected from the process of 6 again. The 'how' entry of 8 depends on the command option of 'why'. In other words, some 'how' command options are specific to 'why' 'to create'. At this point, not all 8 options are shown.

4 shows application at the shell level using 5W1H. First invoke the 5W1H shell. The following is a procedure for invoking a command. After deciding which 5W1H item to call, enter 'what' or 'why', etc. (2) and enter a selection confirmation means (3). The corresponding commands for the programs installed in the computer system are shown (4) and one of the selection confirmation means is entered (5). If you want to execute the command using 5W1H item and execute it, 1 will return. To execute a command just enter the command execution means (6). The command is then executed (7). To call up the detailed command options of a command, use the command option using 5W1H described above. Please refer to 'Example of 5W1H OS Shell' in Table 2. The actual execution example is similar to the execution example of the 5W1H option command above.

Here, 'when' is a program that is primarily associated with separate scheduling. This makes scheduling very efficient.

The following is an example of creating a batch execution file using the present invention.

Example of a batch program using 5W1H <why> to start <what> screenlock <when> if <what1> computer is <how1> idle <when1> over 10 minutes <why> to run <what>sound><what1> *. au in <where1> c: \ doc <how> with program> audio.exe <when> if <what1> mail <how1> arrives.

In the above table, the number of 5W1H items, such as <what1> and <how1>, is marked with the number 1 to indicate that it is a lower 5W1H item.

Computer programming languages are difficult. The reason for this is that many instructions, unlike languages used by humans, have no clear system between instructions and all these instructions must be memorized. A computer programming language is given as a language used by humans, such as descriptive and bore distinctions, parts of speech, and changes and positions of parts of speech. If the roles are fixed and the interface with a certain human being is organized, even beginners can use it easily. The computer programming language can be easily structured into a human structure in that the present invention can represent all human desires and modes of behavior.

In order to use the present invention, a database of keywords corresponding to 5W1H items required for each 5W1H shell program or each execution program must be established. This is because the 5W1H GUI or shell must search for subcommands for each item and display data appropriate to the user's needs. Basic data of such a database is provided by the program author and the user can modify it for convenience. An example of such a keyword for a database is shown in Table 6 below.

Example keywords for 5W1H shell / GUI or command options One why: to setup what: modem 2 why: to run what: program> text editor> hwp.exe how: (why:-begin in full screen mode how:-combined -complete where: $ briefcase) 3 why: to archive what: utility, file management 4 why: to display what: image, graphic> (what: file> (. gif, .jpg, .tiff))

This 5W1H keyword is described in the inventor's patent application 10-1998-0044776.

There is a purpose and object for the purpose of man. That is, in the form of "to do what". For example, a summary of the mobile phone menu is as follows.

to phone people

to phone company

to set the bell / vibration

to set into the manner function

to adjust the size of bell

to save telelephone No.

to save alphabet / Korean name

to delete Tel. No.

to search for Tel. No. and make a phone call

to search for recently phoned Tel. No.

to manage schedule

to save schedule

to calculate

to set current time

to set morning call

to set alarm

to verify the world clock

to set security number

to initialize all modes, to set all modes into the initial state

to set into mute mode

to set DTMF sound long

to change the connection sound

5 is a menu item on the contents Home Page on the Internet in the form of "to do what".

In FIG. 5, the left column is represented by the "why" field, and the right column is represented by "what / where / who / how / when / why". 5.1 of FIG. 5 connects the "why" item and the "what / where / who / how / when" item, which are each field of each field (collectively referred to as "column". "Field"). Indicates that there is a corresponding content for each item in. For example, "to sell" corresponds to some or all of the "what / where / who / how / when / why" items such as "Arts & Humanities", "Business & Econimy", and "Computers & Internet". Similarly, "Business & Econimy" in "what / where / who / how / when" corresponds to some or all of the items in the "why" field. In 5.2, the "exchange" item can be searched in the form of "exchange A with B" according to the "exchange" verb. 5.3 is a window for describing or searching sub-items within each category. It may also describe sub-items instead. If there are many sub-details in the homepage, a search keyword input window may be created to search the items hierarchically within the category. In this window (5.3)

These "why" (collectively referred to as "objectives") and "what / where / who / how / when / why" (collectively referred to as "objects") are expressed as parts of speech in the grammatical system of the language.

-"Verb" and "other parts of speech" or

-Can be expressed as "predicate" and "object / bore" and is the same concept.

The hierarchical representation and retrieval method described in patent application No. 10-1998-0044776 also applies to the present invention. Hierarchical representation facilitates the description and search of search keywords / key sentences (hereinafter referred to as "search keywords"). In FIG. 2, each target item is described and searched using a hierarchical representation.

The description in the hierarchical structure is the same as in the aforementioned patent application No. 10-1998-0044776.

"Object item" of the present invention describes an item of "what / where / who / how / when / why" without distinction. You can add this to the "Purpose" and "Target" items as needed. Below is an example.

-why what where

-why where

-Predicate

-why what where

-why what when

-why who where

-why how where when how

-why what where who how when why

A command or command menu structure that facilitates use.

Sentence commands are possible as ergonomic commands. Example: save file at c: \ as sales.txe

-Convenient structure to execute voice recognition command.

-Use of shortcut keys is convenient without having to memorize.

-You can easily perform a macro function that allows you to perform several operations by one operation.

-It is easy to write a batch program that uses the functions of the application.

-It is easy to use not only in graphical environment but also in environment such as DOS or UNIX terminal environment.

-By looking at the menu of 5W1H, you can understand the overall function of the application. Therefore, the learning process and time required to learn the programs of the existing OS can be reduced.

-You can use the functions of computer and application program simply and maximally.

Due to the nature of the command structure, it is human language because it is possible to use words with the same or similar meaning in a language at the same time. In other words, the same operation can be performed using either go or move.

The menu of the current Widows environment merely serves as a menu for replacing commands, but the present invention makes the most of the features of the software. That is, by clicking or dragging and dropping the contents of these three items with only a mouse between items such as why, what, where, etc., various functions can be performed with a small number of menus. Therefore, make the best use of the software's functions, and build an environment that makes better use of GUI environment than Windows.

In addition, it is possible to reduce the use of the memory to indicate the memory and icon required to display the description of each command menu in the status bar used in the existing OS.

As computers expand their functionality, menus will become increasingly complex with the addition of new features. Adding a single menu has the effect of adding multiple commands. It is therefore suitable for programs with complex functions.

Create an environment that clearly links the objects in your program with the intended purpose.

It is a futuristic command menu system.

If the command system / menu system is similar and does not require a separate learning process, users will not have difficulty using multiple applications with similar functions or applications with slight functional differences. Therefore, even thirteen software companies can have marketability if they have unique functions, contributing to diversification.

The 5W1H shell makes it easier to write tasks that are more convenient than GUIs and to perform them at certain times. It is a powerful OS environment by grouping various shell functions and various commands of Unix-like OS and making them convenient to use.

By dividing the menu items into "what / where / who / how / when" items, the purpose of the why and the object can be expressed simply. Conventional menus can be divided into purpose and object by comparing "why" and "what / where / who / how / when" or "why" or "" what / where / ". If you specify the menu as the who / how / when "item alone, you can see all of the" what / where / who / how / when "or" why "items. These methods can be miniaturized such as mobile phones, pocket computers, and laptop computers. It is possible to express almost everything as a simple "purpose" and "object" item with a menu suitable for the device being used.

It is convenient because you can select the "Purpose" item from the "Purpose" and "Object" items, or you can view the "Purpose" item by selecting the "Object" (which is the usual method).

If the present invention is also applied to a menu of a computer system, it becomes a convenient menu.

In the speech field, such as voice recognition commands, simple commands, especially "find" and "hong gil dong", can be used as a command system as a purpose and object.

Various searches are possible according to the characteristics of verbs. In other words, you can create menus such as exchange A with B and supply A with B.
