Is a stock price display format for displaying stock price information for each brand, as shown in FIG. 7, for example. This display screen is automatically switched to the next page after a certain period of time, and the stock price information of another brand name group is displayed. Further, the format of the format for displaying the stock price is fixed to a predetermined format as shown in FIG. 7, but only the position of the brand name can be changed. Therefore, it is necessary to change the program in order to change the entire stock price display format.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional information display system as shown in FIG. 6, the stock price must be displayed in a fixed display format.
Displaying stock price information in a free format, such as weekly stock price information or monthly stock price information, is not easy. That is, in order to change to a different format, the program must be changed each time, so that the change period, the change cost, and the like must be considered, and the change is quite troublesome. Also, as described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.
9 or JP-A-8-30246 or JP-A-8-328510 is similar to the above in that the display format cannot be freely changed. In the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-328510, only a part of the format can be changed in display, but the entire format cannot be changed.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a purpose of the present invention is to easily change a format displayed on a screen by a simple data conversion without changing a program. An object of the present invention is to provide an information display system.

[0008]

In order to solve the above problems, an information display system of the present invention distributes numerical information stored in a server to a terminal operated by an information user, and the terminal distributes the numerical information.

Distribution means, numerical information conversion means for inversely converting the keyword display data distributed to the terminal into numerical information stored in the server using a plurality of keywords as search keys to generate numerical display data, and the generated numerical value Display means for displaying the display data on the terminal, and displaying the numerical display data on the terminal in an arbitrary format.

That is, the information display system of the present invention comprises:
For example, the server converts stock price information for each issue received and accumulated from the stock exchange into a plurality of keywords as an issue number, an item number such as a high price, a low price, a current value, and creates keyword display data. Then, the keyword display data is distributed to the terminal. Further, in the terminal, the keyword display data is inversely converted to the original stock price information using the above-mentioned keywords and displayed on the screen. Since the display format of the stock price can be changed to an arbitrary form by such a display method based on the keyword conversion, the terminal user can move the stock price information with a high degree of attention to a position where it is most easily seen.

[0010] In the information display system of the present invention, the keyword display data distributed from the server to the terminal is distributed using a LAN line, and the keyword display data is provided as Web data.
It is characterized by being distributed in ML format.

That is, the keyword display data is converted to HTM
By distributing in the L format, it is possible to distribute only necessary numerical data without including format data, so that a large amount of information can be distributed with a small data amount.

Further, the information display system of the present invention is characterized in that, in each of the above inventions, the numerical display data displayed on the terminal is displayed in combination with a moving image.

That is, according to the present invention, a page combining stock price information and a moving image can be created and arbitrarily displayed. For example, by storing a moving image associated with stock price data in a storage area and displaying a moving image related to the stock price data, it is possible to further emphasize the stock price information of interest.

[0016] The input distribution server 1 is similar to the prior art.
In addition to the display data file 2, the display data editing unit 3, and the display device communication unit 4, a brand setting file 5, a keyword master file 6, a stock price data file 7, and a display data conversion unit 8 are provided. The stock price storage server 9 has exactly the same configuration as that of the prior art, and has a stock price data file 10 for storing stock price data received from the stock exchange 17.
It has. Further, the PDP display device 12 includes a display data conversion unit 13, a display data file 14, and a keyword master file 15. Note that the VFD display device 16 is exactly the same as the conventional technology.

In the brand setting file 5, a brand name of a stock price to be displayed and a brand setting number corresponding to the brand name are registered. The brand setting number, which will be described later in detail, is a keyword set for each brand name and is an HTML.
It is described in the format. By transmitting data in such an HTML format, data can be transmitted only with numerical data without including format data, so that a large amount of information can be transmitted with a small data amount.
The keywords are described by the user in HTML format.

The stock price data file 7 includes stock price information (open price, high price, low price, current price, how much yen or how much yen weak, etc.) for each brand name acquired from the stock price data file 10 of the stock price accumulation server 9. Is registered. Further, in the keyword master file 6, a table of the brand name and the stock price information corresponding to the brand setting number, which is created based on the brand setting file 5 and the stock price data file 7, is registered. The display data file 2 is created by using the keyword master file 6 and the PDP display device 12
A stock price display format to be sent to is registered.

When displaying the stock price display format registered in the display data file 2 on the screen, the display data converter 8 converts the item setting number stored in the keyword master file 6 and the item number indicating the stock price information. , Which are converted into corresponding numerical data and displayed. The stock price display format registered in the display data file 2 is edited by the display data editing unit 3, and is further distributed from the display device communication unit 4 to the PDP display device 12 via the network 11. Is done.

Therefore, the display data file 14 of the PDP display device 12 stores the same stock price display format as the stock price display format registered in the display data file 2 of the input distribution server 1. Keyword master file 1 of display device 12
5 stores a table of brand names and stock price information corresponding to brand setting numbers having the same contents as the keyword master file 6 of the input distribution server 1.

When displaying the stock price display format stored in the display data file 14 on the screen, the display data converter 13 of the PDP display device 12 displays the stock setting number stored in the keyword master file 6 and the stock setting number. This is a means for converting an item number indicating stock price information into corresponding numerical data and displaying it.

Next, the procedure of processing for creating an arbitrary stock price display format, converting it into numerical data, and displaying it on the screen by the information display system shown in FIG. 1 will be described. FIG. 2 is an example of setting a keyword when a stock price display format is created or converted into numerical data in the embodiment of the present invention. This keyword is described in HTML format to reduce the amount of information. That is, as shown in the figure, the format of the keyword is displayed as "@ZZZZYYY".

Here, "@" is a format designation symbol and has a fixed value. “ZZZZ” is a brand setting number. For example, “OO” is “0001”, ×
× Electrical equipment determines a brand setting number such as “0005” for each listed company. “YYY” is an item number,
“000” is the brand name, “001” is the drop category, “002” unit category, “003” is the open price, “004” is the high price, “005” is the low price, “006” is the current price, etc. .

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a method of numerically converting the stock price display format created by the keywords shown in FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, a brand name to be displayed and a brand setting number corresponding to the brand name are registered in the brand setting file 5 by the input distribution server 1. For example, OO Denki has a brand setting number of "000
1 ”and XX machine are“ 0005 ”, so 0001 = ○
○ Electrical equipment, 0005 = XX, and registered in the brand setting file 5.

On the other hand, the stock price data file 7 includes, as the stock price data acquired from the stock price data file 10 of the stock price storage server 9, in a format as shown in FIG. And stock price information (open price, high price, low price, current price, how much yen high or how much yen weak, etc.) are accumulated. Then, the brand name in FIG.
For example, the data of the stock price information corresponding to “XX electric” is searched from the stock price information of FIG. Further, the searched stock price information data, for example, the stock price information data corresponding to “XX Denki” is reregistered in the brand setting file 5.

Next, using the brand setting file 5 created as described above, data of stock price information corresponding to the brand setting number is registered in the keyword master file 6.
That is, as shown in FIG.
The data of stock price information corresponding to “001” (= XX electric machine) is acquired from the brand setting file 5 and registered in the keyword master file 6.

Further, using the keyword shown in FIG. 2, a stock price display format as shown in FIG. 3D is created. For example, since the keyword for displaying the "open price" of "XXE" is "$ 0001003", "$ 00010" is displayed at the position where the open price is to be displayed in the table.
03 ”is set and registered in the display data file 2.

FIG. 4 is an example of a stock price display format using a keyword. That is, the keywords corresponding to the positions of the open price, the high price, the low price, and the current value are registered for each brand name. For example, a keyword “$ 0001005” is registered at a position corresponding to the low price of XX Denki, and “$ 0000” is registered at a position corresponding to the current value.
01006 "is registered. Therefore,
For example, if the position of the keyword “$ 0001005” is changed, a low price is registered at the changed position.

Next, a description will be given of a conversion method in the case of numerically converting a keyword into ordinary stock price display data. For example, when numerically converting the stock price display format as shown in FIG.
The display data conversion unit 8 converts the data into numerical data corresponding to the brand setting number “ZZZZ” and the item number “YYY” stored in the keyword master file 6 and displays the numerical data as normal numerical data of the stock price. .

That is, when the information stored in the keyword master file 6 of FIG. 3C is converted into numerical data by using a keyword in a stock price display format as shown in FIG. Figure 3
It is converted into numerical data having display contents as shown in FIG. In this manner, the stock price display format is created using the keyword, and the keyword master file 6 is used to convert the content into the display content of the corresponding numerical data using the keyword, and display the content on the screen.

In the above description, the case where numerical data is displayed on the display screen of the input distribution server 1 has been described.
The display of numerical data on the PDP display device 12 can be performed in exactly the same manner as described above. That is, when the stock price display format as shown in FIG. 3D is converted into numerical data and displayed on the PDP display device 12, the display data conversion unit 13 sets the brand setting number “ ZZZ
Z "and numerical data corresponding to the item number" YYY "may be converted and displayed as normal numerical data of a stock price. For example, using a keyword of a stock price display format as shown in FIG. When the information stored in the keyword master file 15 of FIG. 3C is converted into numerical data, the numerical value data is converted into display data as shown in FIG. .

FIG. 5 shows an example of a stock price display format converted into ordinary numerical data. That is, when the stock price display format using the keywords in FIG. 4 is converted into numerical data, as shown in FIG. 5, the stock name and each stock price information (open price, high price, low price, current price) are placed in the corresponding positions. , And the corresponding stock price is displayed. In other words, according to the numerical value conversion method of the stock price display format as shown in FIG. 3, the display format by the keyword as shown in FIG. 4 is converted into the display format of numerical data as shown in FIG.

In this way, a table serving as a display format is freely created, and keywords are registered in the table instead of stock prices as shown in FIG. When the data is displayed on a PDP display device or the like, the data is converted into numerical data again by a keyword, and the stock price data is displayed as normal stock content data as shown in FIG. The numerical data in FIG. 5 is created based on the data extracted from the keyword master file 6 shown in FIG. As described above, according to the conversion method using the keyword, the display format can be freely created and the display content can be changed to a desired form.

The embodiment described above is an example for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. . For example, a page combining a stock price and a moving image can be created and arbitrarily displayed using the moving image reproduction area shown in FIGS. That is, the moving image associated with the stock price data is stored in advance in the storage area, and the information can be appealed by displaying the moving image associated with the stock price data. When data is distributed, a keyword to be distributed to an HTML scroll function can be generated.

[0035]

As described above, according to the information display system of the present invention, the format of the display screen can be arbitrarily changed by using the keyword by the operator without changing the program. As a result, each operator can bring the information of interest to a position where it is easy to see the information, thereby improving the quality of the displayed information and improving the information collection work efficiency. In addition, since a full-screen page can be displayed as needed, only necessary information can be immediately extracted from the page. Furthermore, if the operator prepares several types of display formats in advance or prepares several types of display formats on the center side, the operator simply selects a desired display format at the time of operation, and the screen is displayed in an arbitrary format. Can be displayed.
