Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores an operation process creation program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process including extracting a candidate operation manipulation component to be combined with an operation process following an operation manipulation component that has been determined to be arranged, when creating the operation process by arranging a plurality of the operation manipulation components on a screen, the candidate being extracted based on previously set relevance information indicating relevance between operation manipulation components and usage frequency information indicating usage frequencies of operation manipulation components in past instances of creating the operation processes; and displaying the extracted candidate operation manipulation component on the screen, by combining the extracted candidate operation manipulation component with the operation manipulation component that has been determined to be arranged.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute an operation process creation process comprising:
extracting, in response to detecting an arranged operation manipulation component that is arranged on a screen of a display device, a first candidate operation manipulation component to be combined with and follow the arranged operation manipulation component and a second candidate operation manipulation component to be combined with and follow the first candidate operation manipulation component, based on previously set relevance information and usage frequency information that are stored in a storage device, wherein the previously set relevance information indicates a relevance between a plurality of operation manipulation components, and wherein the usage frequency information indicates usage frequencies of the plurality of operation manipulation components in past instances of creating the plurality of operation processes; and
displaying, on the screen of the display device, the first candidate operation manipulation component by combining the first candidate operation manipulation component with and follow the arranged operation manipulation component, and the second candidate operation manipulation component by combining the second candidate operation manipulation component with and follow the first candidate operation manipulation component, to create an operation process including the arranged operation manipulation component, the first candidate operation manipulation component, and the second candidate operation manipulation component,
wherein the extracting extracts a predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components including the first and second candidate operation manipulation components;
displaying, on the screen of the display device, the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components that are arranged in a predetermined order, based on priority levels previously set for the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components and stored in the storage device, after the extracting extracts the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components; and
setting the priority levels for the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components by using at least one of a usage frequency of the predetermined number of operation manipulation components, an earlier-later relationship between the predetermined number of operation manipulation components, and combinations of the predetermined number of operation manipulation components that are stored in the storage device.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the operation process creation process further comprises:
displaying, on the screen of the display device, a candidate corresponding to a newly added operation manipulation component among the plurality of candidate operation manipulation components, such that the candidate corresponding to the newly added operation manipulation component is displayed in a different manner from other ones of the plurality of candidate operation manipulation components.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the operation process creation process further comprises:
displaying, on the screen of the display device, the plurality of candidate operation manipulation components for a plurality of routes with respect to the arranged operation manipulation component.

4. An operation process creation method comprising:
extracting, by a processor in response to detecting an arranged operation manipulation component that is arranged on a screen of a display device, a first candidate operation manipulation component to be combined with and follow the arranged operation manipulation component and a second candidate operation manipulation component to be combined with and follow the first candidate operation manipulation component, based on previously set relevance information and usage frequency information that are stored in a storage device, wherein the previously set relevance information indicates a relevance between a plurality of operation manipulation components, and wherein the usage frequency information indicates usage frequencies of the plurality of operation manipulation components in past instances of creating the plurality of operation processes;
displaying, by the processor on the screen of the display device, the first candidate operation manipulation component by combining the first candidate operation manipulation component with and follow the arranged operation manipulation component, and the second candidate operation manipulation component by combining the second candidate operation manipulation component with and follow the first candidate operation manipulation component, to create an operation process including the arranged operation manipulation component, the first candidate operation manipulation component, and the second candidate operation manipulation component,
wherein the extracting extracts a predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components including the first and second candidate operation manipulation components;
displaying, by the processor on the screen of the display device, the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components that are arranged in a predetermined order, based on priority levels previously set for the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components and stored in the storage device, after the extracting extracts the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components; and
setting, by the processor, the priority levels for the predetermined number of candidate operation manipulation components by using at least one of a usage frequency of the predetermined number of operation manipulation components, an earlier-later relationship between the predetermined number of operation manipulation components, and combinations of the predetermined number of operation manipulation components that are stored in the storage device.

5. The operation process creation method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying, by the processor on the screen of the display device, a candidate corresponding to a newly added operation manipulation component among the plurality of candidate operation manipulation components, such that the candidate corresponding to the newly added operation manipulation component is displayed in a different manner from other ones of the plurality of candidate operation manipulation components.

6. The operation process creation method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
displaying, by the processor on the screen of the display device, the plurality of candidate operation manipulation components for a plurality of routes with respect to the arranged operation manipulation component.

7. An information processing device comprising:
a storage device configured to store previously set relevance information indicating a relevance between a plurality of operation manipulation components, and usage frequency information indicating usage frequencies of the plurality of operation manipulation components in past instances of creating the plurality of operation processes; and
a processor configured to execute a program to perform an operation process creation process including
extracting, in response to detecting an arranged operation manipulation component that is arranged on a screen of a display device, a first candidate operation manipulation component to be combined with and follow the arranged operation manipulation component and a second candidate operation manipulation component to be co
