The distributed processing system includes a distributed processing server 100, a collation management device 200, a deposit management device 300, and a settlement management device 400 as external processing devices that allow the distributed processing server 100 to process contract slips.
[0027]
The verification management device 200 performs processing related to verification on the contract slip. The deposit management apparatus 300 performs deposit processing on the contract slip. The settlement management device 400 performs processing related to settlement for the contract slip. The distributed processing server 100 transmits / receives a contract slip to / from the verification management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400 via a communication line. The communication line may be a dedicated line such as a LAN, and may be the Internet, for example. When receiving the contract slip, the distributed processing server 100 transmits the contract slip to the verification management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400, and receives the contract slip processed in each device. As described above, the distributed processing server 100 can process a contract slip using a plurality of external processing devices.
[0028]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a data format of the contract slip. The contract slip includes a contract slip ID that identifies each contract slip, a work date that indicates the date on which the contract slip was created, a customer code that identifies the customer who made the transaction, and the brand that is the subject of the transaction. Including the stock code shown, the trading market, the type of trading, the quantity of the traded stock, the unit price of the traded stock, the trading value, the consumption tax, and the commission for the trading .
[0029]
The collation management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400 assign unique brand codes to the same brand, and process the contract slip using each unique brand code. On the other hand, the distributed processing server 100 processes the contract slip using a server brand code that is a brand code unique to the server. Therefore, when sending a contract slip to each device, the stock code included in the contract slip is converted into a stock code used at the destination. As described above, the distributed processing server 100 can convert the content included in the contract slip into content suitable for each external processing device, and thus uses a plurality of external processing devices while maintaining the consistency of the contract slip. The contract slip can be processed.
[0030]
FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of the distributed processing server 100. A series of operations of the distributed processing server 100 is realized mainly by the cooperation of a CPU, a program stored in a ROM, and a RAM. However, the distributed processing server 100 may be realized by other components, and the degree of design freedom is high. The distributed processing server 100 includes an input unit 102, a processing unit 104, a data amount monitoring unit 106, a timeout determination unit 108, a status table 110, a notification unit 112, a brand table 114, and a collation management device code conversion unit. 120, a verification management device communication unit 122, a deposit management device code conversion unit 130, a deposit management device communication unit 132, a payment management device code conversion unit 140, and a payment management device communication unit 142.
[0031]
The input unit 102 receives input of contract slip data in a transaction. As another example, the input unit 102 is a receiving unit, and may accept a contract slip via, for example, the Internet or a dedicated line.
[0032]
The status table 110 defines the processing status for the contract slip in the verification management device 200, deposit management device 300, and settlement management device 400. The processing state is a state indicating a progress state of the processing, for example, during processing or after processing. As described above, the state table 110 defines the processing state of the processing target data in at least one external processing device among a plurality of external processing devices.
[0033]
The processing unit 104 monitors the processing status of the contract slip in the verification management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400, and determines to which external processing device the contract slip is sent.
[0034]
The processing unit 104 can allow the verification management apparatus 200, the deposit management apparatus 300, and the settlement management apparatus 400 to process the contract slip according to the state defined by the state table 110.
[0035]
The data amount monitoring unit 106 monitors the amount of data to be processed by the collation management device 200 at predetermined time intervals. That is, the data amount monitoring unit 106 is transmitted from the distributed processing server 100 to the collation management device 200, and the processing in the collation management device 200 is not started, but is waiting for processing, that is, the contract slip that is waiting for processing Monitor the amount of data. Similarly, the data amount monitoring unit 106 monitors the amount of data to be processed by the deposit management device 300 and the payment management device 400.
[0036]
The timeout determination unit 108 receives information on the amount of data to be processed in the collation management device 200 from the data amount monitoring unit 106. The time-out determining unit 108 determines a predetermined time to be determined as time-out, that is, a time-out time, based on information on the data amount. Here, the time-out indicates that a predetermined time has passed without a response from the external processing device. At this time, the timeout determination unit 108 further considers the processing capability of the verification management device 200. Thus, the timeout determination unit 108 can determine an appropriate timeout by using the processing capability of each external processing device and the amount of data to be processed by each external processing device.
[0037]
The time-out determining unit 108 may receive information on the data amount from the data amount monitoring unit 106 only when the data amount in each external processing device has changed, or may receive it periodically.
[0038]
Similarly, the time-out determining unit 108 receives information related to the amount of data to be processed in the deposit management apparatus 300 and the payment management apparatus 400, and determines timeout times for the deposit management apparatus 300 and the payment management apparatus 400, respectively.
[0039]
For example, when the amount of data to be processed is large, it is expected that the time from requesting processing to receiving a response will be long. In this case, the timeout determining unit 108 sets a long timeout time. May be. Further, in the case of an external processing device with high processing capability, the data processing speed is fast, so the timeout determination unit 108 may set a short timeout time for this external processing device. In this way, the timeout determination unit 108 sets a basic time until timeout according to the processing capability of the external processing device, and further, from the data amount monitoring unit 106, the amount of data to be processed by each external processing device as needed. The time until timeout can be changed according to the amount of data to be processed. Therefore, the timeout can be determined more accurately.
[0040]
The state table update unit 116 updates the state table 110 according to the processing state of the contract slip in the verification management device 200, deposit management device 300, and settlement management device 400. The state table update unit 116 further receives a timeout time from the timeout determination unit 108 and monitors the timeout time in the collation management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and 040. The state table update unit 116 transmits the contract slip to the verification management device 200, and when the time-out time has elapsed without being processed normally, the state table update unit 116 determines that a time-out has occurred and updates the state table 110.
[0041]
The brand table 114 includes a server brand code used in the server, a matching brand code used for identifying the same brand in the matching management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400, and a deposit code. Corresponding stock code and settlement stock code.
[0042]
The verification management device code conversion unit 120 converts the server brand code and the verification brand code using the brand table 114. The collation management device communication unit 122 transmits the contract slip to the collation management device 200 after the collation management device code conversion unit 120 converts the server stock code into the collation stock code, and collates the contract slip using the collation stock code. The management apparatus 200 performs processing.
[0043]
The deposit management apparatus code conversion unit 130 converts the server brand code and the deposit brand code using the brand table 114. The deposit management device communication unit 132 transmits the contract slip to the deposit management device 300 after the deposit management device code conversion unit 130 converts the server brand code into the deposit brand code, and deposits the contract slip using the deposit brand code. The management apparatus 300 is made to process.
[0044]
The settlement management device code conversion unit 140 converts the server brand code and the settlement brand code using the brand table 114. The settlement management device communication unit 142 transmits the contract slip to the settlement management device 400 after the collation management device code conversion unit 120 converts the server brand code into the settlement brand code, and settles the contract slip using the settlement brand code. The management apparatus 400 performs processing.
[0045]
The notification unit 112 outputs a failure notification indicating that there is a possibility of failure in the processing of the verification management device 200 when the status table 110 defines a timeout state in the verification management device 200. As described above, when the timeout state is detected, the distributed processing server 100 outputs a failure notification, so that the operator of the distributed processing server 100 can recognize the possibility of the failure.
[0046]
As another example, the notification unit 112 may transmit a failure notification to the verification management device 200. As a result, the verification management apparatus 200 can be notified of the possibility of failure.
[0047]
The notification unit 112 similarly outputs a failure notification even when the state table 110 defines a timeout state in the deposit management device 300 and the payment management device 400.
[0048]
FIG. 4 shows the data structure of the brand table 114. The brand table 114 includes a server brand code field, a matching brand code field, a deposit brand code field, and a settlement brand code field.

[0050]
As described above, the brand table 114 stores the matching brand code, the deposit brand code, and the settlement brand code for identifying the same brand in association with the server brand code for identifying the brand in the distributed processing server 100. Therefore, when the distributed processing server 100 requests the verification management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400 to process the contract slip, the stock code included in the contract slip is used using the stock table 114. Can be converted into a brand code used in the requested apparatus. Therefore, the distributed processing server 100 can request the processing of the contract slip to the external processing device that manages the brand using a brand code different from that of the distributed processing server 100.
[0051]
FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the state table 110. The status table 110 includes a contract slip ID field, a verification status field, a deposit status field, and a settlement status field.
[0052]

The deposit status field stores the processing status of the deposit management device 300 for the contract slip transmitted from the distributed processing server 100 to the deposit management device 300. The payment status field stores the processing status of the payment management device 400 for the contract slip transmitted from the distributed processing server 100 to the payment management device 400.
[0053]
As described above, the status table 110 stores the processing status of the contract slips in the verification management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400 for each contract slip. Therefore, the processing unit 104 can recognize the processing status of each contract slip using the status table 110, and determine the processing to be performed on each contract slip based on the processing status.
[0054]
The verification status field, deposit status field, and settlement status field are an unaccepted field, a transmitted field, a response OK field, a response NG field, a response waiting field, a timeout field, a transmission time field, and a response, respectively. And a time field.
[0055]
Here, each field included in the collation state field will be described. The unaccepted field stores a flag indicating unaccepted when a contract slip is not transmitted from the distributed processing server 100 to the verification management device 200. The transmitted field stores a flag indicating that transmission has been performed when a contract slip is transmitted from the distributed processing server 100 to the verification management device 200. The response OK field stores a flag indicating a normal end when the distributed processing server 100 receives a response indicating that the processing is normally completed from the verification management apparatus 200. The response NG field stores a flag indicating abnormal end when the distributed processing server 100 receives a response indicating that the processing has not ended normally from the verification management device 200. The reply awaiting field stores a flag indicating a reply waiting when the distributed processing server 100 transmits a contract slip to the collation management apparatus 200 and the distributed processing server 100 has not received a reply from the collation management apparatus 200. The time-out field stores a flag indicating a time-out when the state table update unit 116 determines that a time-out has occurred, that is, when the time-out period has elapsed without a response from the verification management device 200.
[0056]
The transmission time field stores the time when the contract slip is transmitted from the distributed processing server 100 to the verification management device 200. The response time field stores the time when the distributed processing server 100 receives the contract slip from the verification management device 200.
[0057]
As described above, the status table 110 indicates how each contract slip transmitted to the verification management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400 is in each processing state in each external processing device. Set for each. Accordingly, the processing unit 104 can perform processing on the contract slip based on the state table 110.
[0058]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the distributed processing server 100. When the input unit 102 of the distributed processing server 100 receives the contract slip (S100), the processing unit 104 sends the contract slip to the collation management device code conversion unit 120. Next, the verification management apparatus code conversion unit 120 converts the server brand code of the brand included in the contract slip into the matching brand code using the brand table 114 (S102). Next, the collation management device communication unit 122 transmits the contract slip to the collation management device 200, and causes the collation management device 200 to perform collation processing of the contract slip (S104).
[0059]
When the verification processing of the contract slip in the verification management device 200 ends, the processing unit 104 sends the contract slip to the deposit management device code conversion unit 130. Next, the deposit management apparatus code conversion unit 130 converts the server brand code of the brand included in the contract slip into the deposit brand code using the brand table 114 (S106). Next, the deposit management apparatus communication unit 132 transmits the contract slip to the deposit management apparatus 300, and causes the deposit management apparatus 300 to perform contract slip verification processing (S108).
[0060]
When the deposit processing of the contract slip in the deposit management device 300 is completed, the processing unit 104 sends the contract slip to the settlement management device code conversion unit 140. Next, the settlement management device code conversion unit 140 converts the server brand code of the brand included in the contract slip into the settlement brand code using the brand table 114 (S110). Next, the settlement management device communication unit 142 transmits the contract slip to the settlement management device 400, and causes the settlement management device 400 to perform settlement processing of the contract slip (S112). Thus, the operation of the distributed processing server 100 ends.
[0061]
As described above, the distributed processing server 100 can process the contract slip using the collation management device 200, the deposit management device 300, and the settlement management device 400. The distributed processing server 100 further sends the contract slip to the deposit management device 300 after the processing in the collation management device 200 ends, and sends the contract slip to the settlement management device 400 after the processing in the deposit management device 300 ends. As described above, the distributed processing server 100 can send the contract slips to the external processing device in a predetermined order. Therefore, the distributed processing server 100 can process the contract slips in a predetermined order.
[0062]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the detailed operation of the distributed processing server 100 in the brand confirmation stage (S102) described in FIG. When the processing unit 104 receives the contract slip from the input unit 102, the processing unit 104 sends the contract slip to the collation management device code conversion unit 120. The collation management device code conversion unit 120 uses the brand table 114 to search for a server brand code included in the contract slip (S200). If the contract slip includes the server brand code stored in the brand table 114 (S202), the verification management apparatus code conversion unit 120 converts the server brand code into the verification brand code (S204). If the server brand code is not included in the contract slip, the process jumps to S104.
[0063]
As described above, the distributed processing server 100 converts the server brand code into the matching brand code when the server brand code is included in the contract slip to be transmitted to the matching management apparatus 200. Therefore, the verification management apparatus 200 can process the contract slip using the verification brand code for identifying the brand within the apparatus.
[0064]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the detailed operation of the distributed processing server 100 in the collation processing stage (S104) described in FIG. When the matching management device code conversion unit 120 converts the server brand code into the matching brand code, the processing unit 104 allows the matching management device 200 to process the contract slip. In addition, after the collation management device code conversion unit 120 converts the server brand code into the collation brand code, the collation management device communication unit 122 transmits the contract slip to the collation management device 200 and executes the contract with the collation management device 200. The slip is collated (S300). The verification management device 200 processes the contract slip using the verification brand code.
[0065]
Next, the data amount monitoring unit 106 monitors the data amount in the collation management device 200 (S302). Next, the timeout determination unit 108 determines a timeout period based on the data amount monitored by the data amount monitoring unit 106 and the processing capability of the verification management device 200 (S304).
[0066]
Next, the processing unit 104 monitors the processing of the contract slip in the verification management device 200 (S306). At this time, the status table update unit 116 updates the status table 110 according to the processing status of the contract slip in the verification management device 200 monitored by the processing unit 104. When the processing unit 104 receives a response OK indicating that the processing has been normally completed via the verification management device communication unit 122, the state table update unit 116 sets the response OK in the verification status field of the status table 110. (S308). In this case, the matching management device code conversion unit 120 searches for the matching brand code from the contract slip. When the matching stock code is included in the contract slip (S310), the matching management device code conversion unit 120 converts the matching stock code into the server stock code (S312).
[0067]
Next, the processing unit 104 sends the contract slip to the deposit management apparatus code conversion unit 130 (S314). On condition that the deposit management apparatus code conversion unit 130 has converted the server brand code included in the contract slip into the deposit brand code, the processing unit 104 permits the processing of the contract slip in the deposit management apparatus 300 (S316).
[0068]
As another example, when the processing unit 104 sends a contract slip from the verification management device code conversion unit 120 to the deposit management device code conversion unit 130, the deposit management device code conversion unit 130 selects the verification brand code included in the contract slip. It may be converted directly into a deposit code. That is, the collation management device code conversion unit 120 sends the contract slip to the processing unit 104 without converting the collation code included in the contract slip, and the processing unit 104 transfers the received contract slip to the deposit management device code conversion unit. 130. The deposit management device code conversion unit 130 converts the verification brand code included in the received contract slip into a deposit brand code.
[0069]
In this case, the operation of the distributed processing server 100 proceeds to the brand code conversion stage (S106) in the deposit management described with reference to FIG. Here, after the deposit management apparatus code conversion unit 130 converts the server brand code into the deposit brand code (S106), the deposit management apparatus communication unit 132 transmits the contract slip to the deposit management apparatus 300, and sends it to the deposit management apparatus 300. On the other hand, the contract slip is processed (S108). The operations of the distributed processing server 100 in the brand code conversion stage (S106) and the deposit processing stage (S108) are distributed in the brand code conversion stage (S104) and the collation management stage (S104) described with reference to FIGS. Since it is the same as the operation of the processing server 100, the description is omitted. In this case, the processing unit 104 receives the response OK via the deposit management apparatus communication unit 132, and sets the response OK in the deposit status field of the status table 110 (S308). Further, the processing unit 104 allows the settlement management device 400 to process the contract slip on condition that the settlement management device code conversion unit 140 converts the server brand code included in the contract slip into the settlement brand code (S316).
[0070]
Further, the detailed operation of the distributed processing server 100 in the brand code conversion stage (S110) and the settlement process stage (S112) in the settlement process is also the brand code conversion stage (S106) and the collation management stage described in FIGS. Since it is the same as the operation of the distributed processing server 100 in (S104), the description is omitted. In this case, when the processing unit 104 receives the reply OK via the settlement management device communication unit 142, the processing unit 104 determines the reply OK in the settlement state field of the state table 110 (S308). In this case, instead of S316, it is determined that the processing for the contract slip has been completed.
[0071]
In the processing state monitoring stage (S306), when the processing unit 104 does not receive a response OK via the verification management device communication unit 122 (S308) and receives a response NG (S320), the state table update unit 116 A response NG is determined in the table 110. Next, the notification unit 112 outputs a message indicating that the process in the verification management device 200 has not ended normally (S322). In this case, the operation of the distributed processing server 100 ends here.
[0072]
As another example, when the distributed processing server 100 receives a response NG from the verification management apparatus 200, the distributed processing server 100 may transmit the same contract slip to the verification management apparatus 200 again. In this case, for example, when the response NG is received again, the notification unit 112 may output that the notification unit 112 did not end normally.
[0073]
In the processing state monitoring stage (S306), when the processing unit 104 does not receive the response OK via the collation management device communication unit 122 (S308) and does not receive the response NG (S320), the state table update unit 116 Determines waiting for a response in the collation status field of the status table 110 (S330). When the timeout period has elapsed in the response wait state (S332), the state table update unit 116 determines a timeout state in the collation state field of the state table 110 (S334). Next, the notification unit 112 outputs a failure notification (S336). In this case, the operation of the distributed processing server 100 ends here.
[0074]
As described above, when the time-out state occurs, the notification unit 112 outputs a failure notification, so that the operator of the distributed processing server 100 can recognize that the process in the collation management device 200 is not normally performed.
[0075]
If the time-out period has not elapsed in S320, the process returns to the process state monitoring stage (S306) again, and the processing unit 104 monitors the process state in the collation management apparatus 200. This completes the detailed operation of the distributed processing server 100 in the verification monitoring stage. As described above, the distributed processing server 100 can monitor the processing status of the contract slip in the verification management device 200. Therefore, the distributed processing server 100 can determine the next process for the contract slip according to the state of the process for the contract slip in the verification management device 200.
