Abstract

PURPOSE:To retrieve other information retrieving system by providing a conversion table between a retrieval command and an execution program inherent to sustem between different information retrieval systems to use data obtained from one information retrieval system as a key. CONSTITUTION:When the user inputs a command C1, a corresponding program A is called, information is retrieved based on the input key data and displayed on a display device 16. In commanding commands C2, C3 to data being a key for the next retrieval in the displayed data on a pattern, the program A transfers the designated command and the key data to an inter-command communication program 12. The inter-command communication program 12 stores the received command and key data in a command storage area 14 and a key data storage area 15 respectively, refer to a command/program corresponding table 13, calls the corresponding program and gives and receives the key data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to the exchange of data between different information retrieval systems. This is related to the search method.

(2) Prior art and problems There are multiple independent information retrieval systems, and based on the data obtained from one of the information retrieval systems, self-answers related to cough data are obtained from other information retrieval systems. When trying to obtain data, conventional systems cannot directly transfer data between information retrieval systems. We had no choice but to rely on searching for the necessary information by inputting it into other information search systems.

For example, if the type of component is determined from a search system that has a list of product configurations, the 4101. When entering the type of part into the parts specification search system to find the specifications and drawing numbers of the parts that make up the component, and then searching for the necessary drawings from the drawing search system, Inputting information into each search system requires the cumbersome operation of manually inputting commands as well as output results from other search systems.

Therefore, there are disadvantages in that the number of inputs is large, the operation is troublesome, input errors are easily made, and it takes a long time to obtain the desired result.

(3) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention makes it possible to exchange data between different information retrieval systems, thereby automatically inputting information obtained through retrieval into other systems. The purpose is to provide a means to search for information.〇(4)
) Structure of the Invention According to the present invention, the object is to provide an information processing system that includes a plurality of independent information retrieval systems, and to provide a method for connecting the information retrieval systems to each of the information retrieval systems. A control unit is provided, which has a data transfer route and a correspondence table between commands for information retrieval and programs unique to each information retrieval system to execute the function of the command, and When attempting to search another information retrieval system using data obtained from the retrieval system as a key, the control unit identifies the corresponding program based on the correspondence table in response to a specified command, and performs a search using the data obtained from the retrieval system as a key. This is achieved by a method of connecting disparate information retrieval systems, which is characterized by passing data obtained as a result of retrieval between different information retrieval systems.

(5) Embodiment of the invention FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the invention,
1 is an article configuration search system, 2 is a program A, 3 is an article configuration list file, 4 is a drawing search system, 5 is a program B, 6 is a drawing file, 7 is a parts specification search system, 8 is a program C, and 9 is a parts Specification file, 10
11 is a parts catalog file, 11 is a connection system, 12 is an inter-command communication program, 13 is a command-program correspondence table, 14 is a command storage area, 15 is a key data storage area, and 16 is a display device. The aforementioned article configuration list file 3 and parts specification file 9 are character data files, the drawing file 6 is a graphic data file, and the parts catalog file 10 is an image data file. Also, the inter-command communication program 12
In addition to saving commands and key data, calling functions corresponding to the commands (using a dynamic link method), and transferring key data to other information retrieval systems, it also controls the movement of screen control rights of the display device 16. Let's do it. The command/program correspondence table 13 displays the programs corresponding to each command.
C2, etc. indicate commands, and p, A, B, etc. mean program A1 and program B, respectively.

To explain the operation of FIG. 1, when the user inputs a command C1, the corresponding program A is called, an information search is performed based on the input key data, and the resulting data is displayed on the display device 16. displayed on the screen. When command C2 or C3 is specified for the key data for the next search among the data displayed on the screen, program A transfers the specified command and key data to the inter-command communication program 12. The command-to-command communication program 12 stores the received command and key data in the command storage area 14 and key data storage area 15, respectively, and refers to the command/program correspondence table 13 to call the program corresponding to the command. Pass the key data. Thereafter, by sequentially repeating the same process, the desired data can be obtained. Since the inter-command communication program 12 and each program have an end-run structure, nesting operations can be performed in a seesaw manner through recursive processing.

(6) Effects of the Invention As explained in detail above, according to the method of the present invention, data can be exchanged between different information retrieval systems, so that other information retrieval can be performed based on the output of one information retrieval system. You can easily search the system.

In such cases, there is no need to input the previous output data as a key, so there is no possibility of input errors.
This is highly effective as it allows for high-speed information retrieval.
