Screen display control method, a screen display control device therefor, and a computer-readable recording medium
First Claim
1. A screen display control method for individually displaying conditions of each of a plurality of constituents of a system in a form of a loop on a screen, the method comprising:
- a first step of comparing a total number A (A is a positive integer) of objects to be displayed regarding said constituents and a total number B (B is a positive integer) of individual displays on the screen so as to, when A is greater than B, display a collective group indicating that purport on a part of said part in the form of the loop, and at the same time individually display each of said objects to be displayed corresponding to B; and
a second step of newly displaying individually any number of said objects to be displayed corresponding to said collective group based on an instruction of a revolving display, and at the same time shifting said number of said objects to be displayed that have been displayed individually thitherto into said collective group.

Abstract
Icons indicating operating conditions of each of nodes (computers) constituting a system are individually displayed in the form of a loop. When the total number of the nodes exceeds a total number B of individual displays, nodes corresponding to B are displayed individually, and the rest are displayed in the form of a node collective icon 11. When a forward button 16 is clicked, a display position of each of the node icons revolves clockwise one by one, a node that has been in the node collective icon 11 is displayed individually at a position of a node icon 12, and an node icon at a position of a node icon 13 is contained in the node collective icon 11. By clicking buttons 15, 18 and 19, a clockwise continuous revolving display, a counterclockwise revolving display and a counterclockwise continuous revolving display are performed. Node icons 3 and 14 are highlighted so as to indicate abnormal conditions of the corresponding nodes.

4. A screen display control device for individually displaying conditions of each of a plurality of constituents of a system in a form of a loop on a screen, the device comprising:
-
an individual display unit comparing a total number A (A is a positive integer) of objects to be displayed regarding said constituents and a total number B (B is a positive integer) of individual displays on the screen so as to, when A is greater than B, display a collective group indicating that purport on a part of said part in the form of the loop, and at the same time individually display each of a predetermined number of said objects to be displayed, the predetermined number being equal to or less than B; and
a shifting unit newly displaying individually any number of said objects to be displayed corresponding to said collective group based on an output signal of a revolving-display instruction device, and at the same time shifting said number of said objects to be displayed that have been displayed individually thitherto into said collective group. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A computer-readable recording medium storing a program used for a screen display control for individually displaying conditions of each of a plurality of constituents of a system in a form of a loop on a screen,
wherein said program causes a computer to perform an individual display procedure of comparing a total number A (A is a positive integer) of objects to be displayed regarding said constituents and a total number B (B is a positive integer) of individual displays on the screen so as to, when A is greater than B, display a collective group indicating that purport on a part of said part in the form of the loop, and at the same time individually display each of a predetermined number of said objects to be displayed, the predetermined number being equal to or less than B; - and
a shifting procedure of newly displaying individually any number of said objects to be displayed corresponding to said collective group based on an instruction of a revolving display, and at the same time shifting said number of said objects to be displayed that have been displayed individually thitherto into said collective group. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
