2. Description of the Related Art As one of computer processing systems constructed by a client / server system or the like, a relational database or the like is used to check whether there is information that satisfies a search condition input by a user or the like, and performs a search. A system has been developed that presents this information to the user when there is information that satisfies the condition, and presents to the user that there is no information that satisfies the search condition when there is no information that satisfies the search condition. .

That is, in such a computer processing system, a plurality of terminal devices (client devices) and a server device are connected to a communication line constituted by an Ethernet (registered trademark) cable or the like, and a user connects each terminal device to the communication line. When a search condition is input from any of them and an execution instruction is input, a search request corresponding to the search condition is issued from this terminal device, and this is supplied to the server device via a communication line. As a result, the server device checks the contents of each item stored in the relational database format, checks whether information matching the search request is registered, and checks the information corresponding to the search request. When present, the information is read. Then, this information is supplied as response information to the terminal device which has issued the search request via the communication line and displayed. Also,
When the information corresponding to the search request does not exist, response information indicating that the information corresponding to the search request does not exist is supplied to the terminal device that has issued the search request and displayed.

However, the above-described conventional computer processing system has the following problems.

First, in the computer processing system as described above, although the user can freely combine items necessary for searching for necessary information, the information registered in the server device can be extracted. Each time information is searched by combining a plurality of search conditions, the contents of the search conditions must be input by operating a keyboard or the like.

For this reason, not only when searching for information while changing the search conditions little by little, but also when searching for information under the same search conditions as the previous time, a complicated search condition is operated by operating a keyboard or the like. There was a problem that the user had to enter the information, which was inconvenient.

[0007] In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a client device that can reduce the amount of input at the time of retrieval and dramatically improve the usability.

[0008]

To achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an information search request is sent to a server connected via a network, and a search is performed by the server. A client device in the computer processing system that receives the searched information, a search condition storage unit that stores search conditions specified as registration targets among the input search conditions, and a search condition selection instruction is input, A search condition reading unit that reads a search condition registered in the condition storage unit and sets the search condition as a search condition; and a search that issues a search request to the server device using the search condition set by the search condition read unit. And an instruction unit.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the client device according to the first aspect, the search condition storage unit stores the stored search condition when a correction command or a deletion command for the stored search condition is input. Among these, the specified search condition is corrected or deleted.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the client device according to the first aspect, the search condition reading unit searches for the search condition of the designated management number among the search conditions read in response to the search condition selection instruction. It is characterized by being set as a condition.

[0011] According to the above configuration, the search condition storage unit stores the search condition designated as a registration target among the input search conditions, and when the search condition selection instruction is input, the search condition storage unit stores the search condition. The reading unit reads out the search condition registered in the search condition storage unit and sets it as a search condition. The search instruction unit uses the search condition set by the search condition read unit to send the search condition to the server device. When a search request is issued, the used search conditions are registered once, and when similar search conditions and the same search conditions are used, the registered search conditions are called and used. The input amount is reduced, and usability is dramatically improved.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, when a command to correct or delete a stored search condition is input, the search condition storage unit corrects the designated search condition among the stored search conditions. Or by removing
When similar search conditions or the same search conditions are used, the registered search conditions can be called up while easily modifying and deleting the search conditions that have already been registered. To reduce the amount of input at the time of retrieval, thereby greatly improving usability.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the search condition reading unit sets the search condition of the designated management number among the search conditions read out in response to the search condition selection instruction as the search condition, thereby specifying the number. By simply selecting a required search condition from among a plurality of registered search conditions, it is easy to select a search condition, and at the same time, using similar search conditions and the same search conditions At this time, the registered search conditions are called and used, whereby the input amount at the time of search is reduced, and usability is dramatically improved.
