As illustrated in
The display control unit 24 controls display content of the first display area 31 and the second display area 32. Further, the display control unit 24 causes the main window 30 to be in one of a first display control state illustrated in
If an operation with respect to the display mode switching button 28 displayed in the first display area 31 is detected by the operation detection unit 22, the operation execution unit 23 switches the display state of the display control unit 24 for the main window 30 between the first display control state and the second display control state. Also, the main window 30 of the first display control state illustrated in
In the first display control state illustrated in
Hereinafter, the setting parameter item and the group parameter item are collectively simply referred to as a “parameter item”.
Further, the display control unit 24 causes an execution result of the process referring to the set values set in the parameters to be displayed in the second display area 32. Specifically, the display control unit causes an execution result of the test in the test execution unit 11 referring to the set values set in the parameters to be displayed in the second display area 32.
The display control unit 24 displays the group parameter item of the first layer as the tab 33 in the first display area 31, displays, in the list 34, the group parameter item (for example, “Frequency” and “Level” in
Also, while the number of layers of parameter items is 3 in the description of the present embodiment, the number of layers of the parameter items may be 4 or more. In this case, the display control unit 24 is configured to display parameter items of fourth and subsequent layers in a list format in the parameter items of an upper layer so that display modes of the parameter items of successive layers are different and different layers are recognized.
Thus, the display control unit 24 causes an image (hereinafter referred to as a “list image”) including the respective parameter items constituting the list 34, that is, the respective parameter items of the second layer or the lower layer to be displayed in the image display area 35.
As illustrated in
It is possible to compactly display the respective parameter items in a width direction by displaying respective parameter items constituting the list 34 in this way. Meanwhile, the respective parameter items are longitudinally arranged, but each parameter item is easily selected (for example, tapped) when the input device 20 is configured of the touch panel 25, as in the present embodiment.
Further, the display control unit 24 displays the name of the parameter and the set value set in the parameter in different display modes on the display device 21 in each parameter item constituting the list 34.
For example, the display control unit 24 displays the name of the parameter and the set value set in the parameter in different display colors on the display device 21 in each parameter item constituting the list 34.
Further, the display control unit 24 sets a set value of the parameter indicating an initial value and a set value of the parameter changed from the initial value in different display modes on the display device 21.
For example, the display control unit 24 sets the set value of the parameter indicating the initial value and the set value of the parameter changed from the initial value in different display colors on the display device 21.
The display control unit 24 displays all names of the parameters in the respective parameter items constituting the list 34 in the same display modes on the display device 21. Accordingly, visibility of the parameter name is improved for a user who wants to see only the parameter names.
In the example illustrated in
Also, the display control unit 24 may display an initial setting button (not illustrated) for returning set values of all the parameters to the initial values in the first display area 31. In this case, the operation execution unit 23 returns the set values of all the parameters to the initial values if the operation detected by the operation detection unit 22 is an operation with respect to the initial setting button.
The display control unit 24 can cause the list image to be displayed in a state in which the list image is scrolled in the image display area 35 assigned in the first display area 31. Therefore, the display control unit 24 displays the scroll bar 36 for scrolling the list image together with the list image on the display device 21. Here, the scroll bar 36 includes a slider 37 that indicates a scroll amount of the list image and is displaced according to an operation performed by the input device 20.
In
Here, operations of scrolling the list image include an operation of dragging the list image in the image display area 35 in the input device 20 as illustrated in
Further, the operation execution unit 23 includes a scroll amount regulation unit 41 that regulates the scroll amount so that the list image is not out of the image display area 35 if the image list is scrolled to be out of the image display area 35 and, in other words, to protrude from the image display area 35 when the list image is scrolled according to the scroll amount specified by the scroll amount specifying unit 40. That is, the scroll amount regulation unit 41 regulates the amount to be scrolled so that an end of the list image that is a predetermined image displayed in the image display area 35 does not enter the inside of the image display area 35 when the end of the list image enters the inside of the image display area 35 if the list image is scrolled by the display control unit 24 according to the amount to be scrolled specified in the scroll amount specifying unit 40.
The display control unit 24 causes the list image to be scrolled according to the scroll amount, and changes a display mode of at least a portion of the peripheral area of the image display area 35 if the scroll amount is regulated by the scroll amount regulation unit 41.
In the present embodiment, at least a portion of the peripheral area of the image display area 35 is the slider 37 of the scroll bar 36. Here, the display control unit 24 changes the display mode of the slider 37 according to a regulation amount of the scroll amount regulated by the scroll amount regulation unit 41.
That is, the display control unit 24 greatly changes the display mode of the slider 37 when the regulation amount of the scroll amount regulated by the scroll amount regulation unit 41 increases. For example, the display control unit 24 changes the display mode of the slider 37 by changing the shading of the display color of the slider 37, as illustrated in
In
On the other hand, in
Here, since the regulation amount of the scroll amount regulated by the scroll amount regulation unit 41 is larger in the state illustrated in
Referring back to
Also, as described above, in the first display control state as illustrated in
In the second display control state, the display control unit 24 displays a parameter item developed and displayed in the second display area 32 and a parameter item not displayed in the second display area 32 among parameter items displayed in the first display area 31 in different display modes on the display device 21 so that the parameters can be identified.
For example, the display control unit 24 displays the parameter items (“Mobile Station Identity”, “Power Control” and “BCCH/PCCH”) developed and displayed in the second display area 32 and the parameter item (“Base Station Identity”) not displayed in the second display area 32 among four types of parameters (group name) displayed in the first display area 31 in different display colors on the display device 21 so that the parameters can be identified.
The display control unit 24 displays association information for associating the parameter items displayed in the first display area 31 with a column in which the parameter items developed and displayed in the second display area 32 are arranged, on the display device 21.
For example, the display control unit 24 assigns identifiers such as numbers, as the association information, to the parameter items displayed in the first display area 31 and the column in which the parameter items developed and displayed in the second display area 32 are arranged, and displays them on the display device 21.
If it is detected by the operation detection unit 22 that the parameter item indicating the group of parameters is selected from among the parameter items displayed in the first display area 31 in the first display control state or the second display area 32 in the second display control state, the operation execution unit 23 requests the display control unit 24 to aggregate the group of parameters if the group of parameters is developed or to develop the group of parameters if the group of parameters is aggregated.
Here, when the group of parameters is developed, a lower parameter item is arranged under the parameter item indicating this parameter group. On the other hand, when the parameter group is aggregated, a lower parameter item of the parameter group is not displayed. If there is a parameter item indicating a next group of parameters, a parameter item indicating the next group of parameters is arranged under the aggregated parameter item.
For example, a state in which, in the list 34 illustrated in
Here, if the group parameter item “Frequency” in the second layer is aggregated, the respective setting parameter items “Frame Structure”, “Channel Bandwidth”, “UL Channel”, “DL Channel”, “UL Frequency”, “DL Frequency”, and “Operation Band” of the third layer are not displayed, and the group parameter item “Level” classified as the second layer is displayed immediately under the group parameter item “Frequency” of the second layer.
Since the parameter items can be developed and aggregated in the vertical direction rather than the horizontal direction, it is possible to display the lower setting parameter items as the list 34 by developing a specific group parameter item, and to compactly display the parameter items as the list 34 by aggregating the specific group parameter item.
Further, the operation execution unit 23 executes a parameter setting process if an operation of selecting a parameter item indicating the setting parameter item including the name of the parameter and the set value set in the parameter among the parameter items displayed in the first display area 31 in the first display control state or the second display area 32 in the second display control state is detected.
In the present embodiment, the parameter setting process executed by the operation execution unit 23 includes three processes: an ON and OFF setting process, a list selection process, and a setting screen process. The operation execution unit 23 determines any one of the processes to be executed, according to the parameter that is a selection target.
The ON and OFF setting process is executed for the parameter of which the set value is switched between “ON” and “OFF”, such as the parameter “Authentication” of the third layer associated with the first layer “Call Processing” and the second layer “Mobile Station Identity”.
In the ON and OFF setting process, each time the operation of selecting the parameter item is detected by the operation detection unit 22, the operation execution unit 23 alternately sets “ON” and “OFF” in the parameter that is a selection target via the parameter management unit 14.
The list selection process is executed for a parameter for which one value is selected from among the plurality of candidate values that are candidates of the value of the parameter, such as the parameter “Frame Structure” of the third layer associated with the first layer “Common” and the second layer “Frequency”.
In the list selection process, if the operation detection unit 22 detects the operation of selecting the parameter item, the operation execution unit 23 requests the display control unit 24 to change the value of the parameter. The display control unit 24 receiving this change request causes the display device 21 to display the candidate values as candidates of the value of the parameter in a list format. The operation execution unit 23 sets the candidate value selected from among the plurality of candidate values displayed on the display device 21 in the parameter through the parameter management unit 14.
For example, as illustrated in
Here, the display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display an initial value (5 MHz) of the parameter in a different display mode from the other candidate values. For example, the display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the initial value of the parameter in a different display mode from the other candidate values by underlining the initial value of the parameter.
The display control unit 24 causes the candidate value of the parameter to be displayed in a list format under the parameter item that is a selection target so that the value of the parameter set before the list selection process is executed is easily referred to.
Specifically, the display control unit 24 causes respective candidate values “1.4 MHz”, “3 MHz”, “5 MHz”, “10 MHz”, “15 MHz”, and “20 MHz” to be displayed in a list format so that the parameter item is developed under the parameter name of “Channel Bandwidth”, as in the example illustrated in
Here, when the candidate values of the parameter cannot be displayed in a list format under the parameter item due to a display position of the parameter item that is a selection target, the display control unit 24 may cause the list image to be scrolled such that the candidate values of the parameter can be displayed in the list format under the parameter item that is the selection target.
Further, the display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the set value of the parameter in a different display mode from another candidate value such that the set value of the parameter is easily referred to. For example, the display control unit 24 in the present embodiment attaches a mark to the left of the set value of the parameter.
When “10 MHz” is selected from among candidate values: “1.4 MHz”, “3 MHz”, “5 MHz”, “10 MHz”, “15 MHz”, and “20 MHz” in a state illustrated in
The setting screen process is executed for the parameter of which the value is directly set, as in the parameter “DL Frequency” of the third layer associated with the first layer “Common” and the second layer “Frequency”.
In the setting screen process, if the operation detection unit 22 detects the operation of selecting the parameter item, the operation execution unit 23 requests the display control unit 24 to change the value of the parameter. The display control unit 24 receiving the change request displays the parameter setting screen including at least operation elements for causing the set value of the parameter to be set, on the display device 21, as illustrated in
The operation execution unit 23 includes an input value specifying unit 42 that specifies an input value of the parameter in response to the operation with respect to the operation element in the setting screen process detected by the operation detection unit 22. Here, operation elements displayed on the parameter setting screen include a cancel button for canceling a setting, an OK button for confirming the setting, a clear button for clearing the input value, a backspace button for canceling one character of the input value, a number button for inputting a value, a unit button for inputting a unit, an inverse-number conversion button for performing inverse-number conversion, and the like.
The display control unit 24 selectively displays the buttons on the parameter setting screen according to the parameter that is a selection target, in addition to the input value 50 of the parameter. In the parameter setting screen for the parameter “DL Frequency” illustrated in
In a state in which the parameter setting screen is displayed, if the operation detected by the operation detection unit 22 is an operation of setting the input value of the parameter to be out of the setting range of the parameter, the input value specifying unit 42 invalidates the operation with respect to the operation element. The display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the operation element so that the invalidation of the operation of setting the input value of the parameter to be out of the setting range of the parameter is identified.
That is, the input value specifying unit 42 and the display control unit 24 cause each operation element to enter an enable state or a disable state according to the setting range and the input value of the parameter that is a selection target.
For example, in the parameter setting screen illustrated in
Here, the operation elements in a disable state (each unit button 56 indicating “GHz” and “MHz” and the OK button 52) are displayed with colors different from the operation element in an enable state and lighter than the operation element in the enable state.
Further, when the display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the respective operation elements for selecting the values and the inverse-number conversion, the input value specifying unit 42 validates the operation with respect to the operation element if an operation of causing the inverse number of the input value of the parameter to be in the setting range of the parameter even when the operation detected by the operation detection unit 22 is an operation of causing the input value of the parameter to be out of the setting range of the parameter. Also, the display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the operation element so that it can be identified that the operation of causing the inverse number of the input value of the parameter to be in the setting range of the parameter is validated even when the operation is the operation of causing the input value of the parameter to be out of the setting range of the parameter.
However, if the input value of the parameter is out of the setting range, the display control unit 24 displays the input value of the parameter with a different display mode from the display mode when the input value of the parameter is in the setting range.
In the present embodiment, if the input value of the parameter is out of the setting range, the display control unit 24 displays the input value of the parameter with a different display color from the display color when the input value of the parameter is in the setting range.
For example, as illustrated in
However, since any larger value cannot be input in a state in which “40.0 dBm” is input, all number buttons 55 enter a disable state. Further, since “40.0 dBm” is out of the setting range, the input value 50 is displayed in a different display color from that when the input value is in the setting range of the parameter.
Further, in an aspect other than an aspect in which the input value specifying unit 42 and the display control unit 24 cause each operation element to be in an enable state or a disable state, the input value specifying unit 42 may regulate the input value of the parameter to be in the setting range if the input value of the parameter is out of the setting range of the parameter.
Here, the display control unit 24 may change the display mode of the input value of the parameter if the input value of the parameter is regulated by the input value specifying unit 42. For example, the display control unit 24 may change the display mode of the input value of the parameter by changing a display color of the input value of the parameter.
Further, the display control unit 24 may cause the display device 21 to display the parameter setting screen to further indicate the setting range, and change the display mode of the regulation value that causes the input value of the parameter in the setting range to be out of the setting range if the input value of the parameter is regulated by the input value specifying unit 42. For example, the display control unit 24 may display the setting range in a title bar 49 of the parameter setting screen, and change the display color of the regulation value causing the input value of the parameter in the setting range to be out of the setting range to change the display mode of the regulation value.
For example, as illustrated in
In the parameter setting screen of “Operation Band” illustrated in
In this parameter setting screen of “Operation Band”, if the increment button 58 is operated in a state in which “43” is input, the input value is regulated to be “43”. Also, the input value 50 is displayed in a different display color from that when the input value 50 is in the setting range of the parameter.
Further, the regulation value causing the input value of the parameter in the setting range displayed in the title bar 49 of the parameter setting screen to be out of the setting range is displayed in a different display color from that when the input value is in the setting range of the parameter.
Further, the display control unit 24 displays, as an operation element of the parameter setting screen, an initialization button 48 that returns an input value of an parameter that is being set, to an initial value (a “Back to Initial Value” button in the drawing).
If an operation with respect to the initialization button 48 is detected by the operation detection unit 22, the operation execution unit 23 sets an input value of the parameter setting screen to an initial value of the parameter that is being set.
For example, in the parameter setting screen of “Operation Band” illustrated in
The display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the parameter extraction screen 60 as illustrated in
The parameter extraction screen 60 includes an input screen display area 61, and an extraction result display area 62. The display control unit 24 displays operation elements for setting search conditions of the parameters, such as a plurality of keys for inputting the parameter name, and the search conditions input by the input operation with respect to the plurality of keys, in the input screen display area 61. Also, the search conditions in the present embodiment are assumed to include an input keyword.
The operation execution unit 23 includes a parameter extraction unit 43 that extracts the parameters satisfying the search conditions from a hierarchized parameter group. In the present embodiment, the parameter extraction unit extracts the parameters satisfying the search conditions from the parameter group of the third layer included in all the first layers. Further, the display control unit 24 causes the display device 21 to display the parameter extraction screen 60 indicating the parameters extracted by the operation execution unit 23.
Also, the parameter extraction unit 43 is configured to extract the parameters satisfying the search conditions from the parameter group of the third layer included in the first layer that is selected in the first display area 31 of the main window 30.
The scroll amount specifying unit 40 and the scroll amount regulation unit 41 function for the list 63 displayed in the extraction result display area 62, similarly to the list 34 displayed in the first display area 31 of the main window 30.
Further, the operation execution unit 23 executes the process corresponding to a selection target parameter among the three types of processes, including the ON and OFF setting process, the list selection process, and the setting screen process described above, according to the parameter selected from the list 63.
For example, when an operation with respect to the parameter extraction button 64 of the main window 30 is detected by the operation detection unit 22, the parameter extraction screen 60 is displayed in front of the main window 30 by the display control unit 24.
Here, when “UL” is input as the search condition in the input screen display area 61 of the parameter extraction screen 60, the list 63 of the parameter items of the parameter “UL Channel” and “UL Frequency” of the third layer associated with the first layer “Common” and the second layer “Frequency”, the parameter “Main UL” of the third layer associated with the first layer “Common” and the second layer “Level”, and the parameter “UL Number of RB 1” of the third layer associated with the first layer “TX Measurement Setup” and the second layer “Relative Power” is displayed on the extraction result display area 62 by the display control unit 24.
The operation execution unit 23 performs an operation to set the values of the parameters selected from among the parameters displayed on the parameter extraction screen. For example, when the operation with respect to the parameter “UL Channel” of the third layer associated with the first layer “Common” and the second layer “Frequency” is detected by the operation detection unit 22, the operation execution unit 23 controls the display control unit 24 to display the parameter setting screen as illustrated in
Since the operation execution unit 23 executes the operation to set the values of the parameters selected from among the parameters displayed in the parameter extraction screen in this way, an effort of the user to switch from the parameter extraction screen 60 to the main window 30 in order to set the values of the parameters can be omitted.
Also, the display control unit 24 may causes the display device 21 to display an extraction result screen obtained by hierarchizing the parameters extracted by the parameter extraction unit 43 in the same classification as the hierarchized parameter group described with reference to
Specifically, the display control unit 24 may display the extraction result obtained by hierarchizing the parameters extracted by the parameter extraction unit 43 in the extraction result display area 62 of the parameter extraction screen 60.
That is, the display control unit 24 may display the parameter items of the parameters extracted by the parameter extraction unit 43 in the list 63 in the same format as the list 34 displayed in the first display area 31 of the main window 30.
As described above, in the present embodiment, if the operation of scrolling the list image displayed in the image display area 35 to be out of the image display area is detected, the scroll amount is regulated and the list image displayed in the image display area 35 is scrolled so that the list image displayed in the image display area 35 is not out of from the image display area 35, and the display mode of at least a portion of the peripheral area of the image display area 35 is changed to cause the user to recognize that the list image has been scrolled to the end in the image display area 35. Thus, it is possible to cause the list image displayed on the display device 21 to be visually recognized without degrading the operability of the user.
Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to cause the user to recognize that the list image displayed in the image display area 35 is further scrolled regardless of the fact that the list image has been scrolled to the end in the image display area 35 by changing the display mode of at least a portion of the peripheral area of the image display area 35 according to the regulation amount of regulated scroll amount.
Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to cause the user to recognize that the list image has been scrolled to the end in the image display area by changing the display mode of the slider of the scroll bar if the list image is scrolled to the end in the image display area 35.
Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to cause the user to recognize that the list image has been scrolled to the end in the image display area by changing the shading of the display color of the slider 37 of the scroll bar 36 if the list image is scrolled to the end in the image display area 35.
Also, the image display method in the present embodiment includes an operation detection step, a scroll amount specifying step, a scroll amount regulation step, and an image scroll step. The operation detection step is executed by the operation detection unit 22, the scroll amount specifying step is executed by the scroll amount specifying unit 40, the scroll amount regulation step is executed by the scroll amount regulation unit 41, and the image scroll step is executed by the display control unit 24.
While the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made without the departing from the scope of the present invention.
