Abstract

A script producing apparatus has an execution diagram producing section having a plurality of GUIs including both a turn GUI for displaying a predetermined turn symbol on an image display screen in accordance with an operation, said turn symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are sequentially executed, and also indicating turn of execution for the processes, and a parallel GUI for displaying a parallel symbol on said image display screen in accordance with an operation, said parallel symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are simultaneously executed, and a script producing section for producing, upon receipt of production of the execution diagram by said execution diagram producing section, a script representative of an execution order identical with the execution order represented by the execution diagram produced by said execution diagram producing section, wherein the execution order of the script is able to be recognized by a processing unit for executing a process.

Claims

1. A script producing apparatus comprising:

an execution diagram producing section having a plurality of GUIs including both a turn GUI for displaying a predetermined turn symbol on an image display screen in accordance with an operation, said turn symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are sequentially executed, and also indicating turn of execution for the processes, and a parallel GUI for displaying a parallel symbol on said image display screen in accordance with an operation, said parallel symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are simultaneously executed, said execution diagram producing section producing an execution diagram representative of an execution order permitting a simultaneous execution for a plurality of processes in accordance with the plurality of GUIs; and

a script producing section for producing, upon receipt of production of the execution diagram by said execution diagram producing section, a script representative of an execution order identical with the execution order represented by the execution diagram produced by said execution diagram producing section, wherein the execution order of the script is able to be recognized by a processing unit for executing a process.

2. A script producing apparatus according to

claim 1

, wherein said execution diagram producing section produces an execution diagram representative of an execution order for a plurality of image processes in accordance with the plurality of GUIs, and

said script producing section produces, as said scrip, a script wherein the execution order of the script is able to be recognized by an image processing unit for executing an image process.

3. A script producing apparatus according to

claim 1

, wherein said execution diagram producing section produces an execution diagram representative of an execution order for a plurality of data processes, and

said plurality of GUIs includes both said turn GUI and said parallel GUI, and in addition a data transfer GUI for displaying a data transfer symbol on said image display screen in accordance with an operation, said data transfer symbol indicating a data transfer between a memory for storing data and a data processing.

4. A script producing apparatus according to

claim 1

, wherein said plurality of GUIs includes both said turn GUI and said parallel GUI, and in addition a branch GUI for displaying a branch symbol on said image display screen in accordance with an operation, said branch symbol indicating that an execution order for a process branches.

5. A script producing program storage medium storing a script producing program comprising:

execution diagram producing means having a plurality of GUIs including both a turn GUI for displaying a predetermined turn symbol on an image display screen in accordance with an operation, said turn symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are sequentially executed, and also indicating turn of execution for the processes, and a parallel GUI for displaying a parallel symbol on said image display screen in accordance with an operation, said parallel symbol indicating that a plurality of processes are simultaneously executed, said execution diagram producing section producing an execution diagram representative of an execution order permitting a simultaneous execution for a plurality of processes in accordance with the plurality of GUIs; and

script producing means for producing, upon receipt of production of the execution diagram by said execution diagram producing means, a script representative of an execution order identical with the execution order represented by the execution diagram produced by said execution diagram producing means, wherein the execution order of the script is able to be recognized by a processing unit for executing a process.
