Claims
- 1. A user adaptive system for use in a computer system executing an application program, comprising:
- setting means for arbitrarily setting values for a plurality of parameters of a job corresponding to a function being executed in the application program;
- means for storing a data structure having an n dimensional matrix corresponding to a combination of values for said parameters arbitrarily set by a user utilizing said setting means;
- means for updating said combination of values stored in said means for storing each time a user sets a value for a parameter utilizing said setting means; and
- means operative, when a particular combination of values for said parameters is used more than a predetermined number of times, for registering said particular combination of values for said parameters into said means for storing.
- 2. A user adaptive method for use in a computer system executing an application program, comprising the step of:
- storing a data structure having an n dimensional matrix corresponding to a combination of values for a plurality of parameters arbitrarily set by a user for a job corresponding to a function being executed in the application program,
- said storing step comprises the steps of:
- treating, in relation to values set by selecting items from a group of selective radio buttons, items selected exclusively as a set, and
- assigning a dimension of said n dimensional matrix to each of the items.
- 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein said storing step further comprises the steps of:
- subdividing, in relation to values for variable parameters set by operating a slide bar with a mouse, a range of setting enabled values into subdivided ranges according to an appropriate interval;
- assigning selective items to each of the subdivided ranges;
- treating the selective items corresponding to the setting enabled values as a set; and
- assigning a dimension of a matrix for each set of the selective items.
- 4. A method according to claim 3, further comprising the step of:
- updating said n dimensional matrix corresponding to the combination of values, wherein a value of only a position associated with the combination of values is updated.
- 5. A method according to claim 2, wherein said storing step further comprises the steps of:
- subdividing, in relation to values set by keyboard, setting enabled values into subdivided ranges according to an appropriate interval only when an input character string is an integer;
- assigning selective items to each of the subdivided ranges;
- treating the selective items corresponding to the setting enabled values as a set; and
- assigning said n dimensional dimension of a matrix for each set of the selective items.
- 6. A method according to claim 5, further comprising the step of:
- updating said n dimensional matrix corresponding to the combination of values, wherein a value of only a position associated with the combination of values is updated.
- 7. A method according to claim 2, further comprising the step of:
- updating said n dimensional matrix corresponding to the combination of values, wherein a value of only a position associated with the combination of values is updated.
- 8. A method according to claim 2, comprising the step of:
- updating said n dimensional matrix corresponding to the combination of values, wherein a value of only a position associated with the combination of values are updated.
- 9. A method according to claim 2, wherein the combination of values frequently used is registered to a button having been recently generated.
- 10. A method according to claim 2, wherein:
- the function corresponding to the job is a a wipe function of a video processing; and
- the setting of values for said parameters includes at least one of setting of a transition time, a frame interval and a wipe pattern.
