(1) Processing of Sales Office Terminal 20 FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing processing in the sales office terminal 20 of FIG.

  Each branch terminal 20 (= 20-1, 20-2, 20-3,...) Of FIG. 1 starts the transaction process, and in step S1, the business program 21 in the branch terminal 20 By the processing, input control 22, output control 23, and journal control 24 are performed. In step S <b> 2, journal data jd such as input information of the input device and output information to the transmission unit is stored in the journal storage unit 25. Further, in step S3, the stored journal data jd is transferred from the transmission unit to the relay device 30. The store terminal 20 ends the process when the journal data jd is transferred to the relay device 30.

(2) Processing of Relay Device 30 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing update processing of the priority table 34 in the relay device 30 of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 7, the relay device 30 starts processing upon receiving an update notification such as a change in the priority table 63 from the center server 60, and performs update processing of the priority table 34 in step S <b> 10. In this update process, the relay device 30 copies the priority information updated in the priority table 63 in the center server 60 to the priority table 34 by the journal flow rate control 32 and the like, and ends the process.

  FIG. 8A is a flowchart illustrating an entire transmission process in the relay device 30 of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 8A, the journal data jd is transferred from the branch terminal 20 or periodically, the relay device 30 starts processing, and proceeds to step S20-1. In step S20-1, the journal relay control 31 receives the journal data jd transferred from the branch terminal 20, and stores it in the journal storage unit 33 in the format of the journal data file JD1 in FIG. At this time, transmission information 32d is added to the journal data file FD1 in FIG. Since the initial state of the transmission information 32d is a state in which transmission information 32d is not transmitted to the center server 60, for example, “not yet” is set. After the journal data file FD1 is stored in the journal storage unit 33, the journal flow rate control 32 determines the priority of the stored journal data jd according to the updated priority table 34. In this priority determination, the updated priority table 34 is referred to, and whether or not the stored journal data jd satisfies the real transmission condition or the delay transmission condition (that is, whether or not the item has a high collation frequency). To determine the priority determination result.

  In step S20-2, when the priority determination result is “real transmission condition is satisfied”, the process proceeds to step S21 of the real process setting. When the priority determination result is “delay transmission condition is satisfied”, the delay processing setting is performed. The process proceeds to step S22. In step S21 of the real process setting, it is determined that the stored journal data jd is priority data with a high collation frequency, and in step S23, the journal data jd is immediately transmitted to the center server 60 without delay. To do. In step S22 for setting the delay process, it is determined that the stored journal data jd is non-priority data with a low collation frequency. In step S23, the journal data jd is delayed to reduce the network load. Transmit to the center server 60 in the time zone.

  When the relay device 30 transmits the journal data jd in FIG. 2 to the center server 60, the relay device 30 updates the content of the transmission information 32d to, for example, “Done”. In step S24, the relay device 30 repeats the transmission of the journal data jd to the center server 60. When all the transmissions are completed, the transmission process ends.

  FIG. 8-2 is a flowchart showing details of priority determination processing S20-1 and S20-2 in FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 8B, when the priority determination process is started, the priority of FIG. 4 is compared with the journal data jd of FIG. 2 stored in the journal storage unit 33 by the journal flow rate control 32 in step S20a. With reference to the table 34, it is checked in the real transmission condition 63c whether the journal data jd is priority data or non-priority data, and the process proceeds to step S20b. In step S20b, it is determined whether or not the section 63b in FIG. 4 is “automatic”.

  If the section 63b is “automatic” (Yes), the process proceeds to step S21, the real process setting is performed, and the transmission mode 32c in the journal data file JD1 in FIG. 2 is set to “real transmission”. In step S20b, when the section 63b is “manual” instead of “automatic” (No), the process proceeds to step S20c. In step S20c, it is determined whether or not the condition of the real transmission condition 63c in FIG. 4 is cleared. If the condition is cleared (Yes), the real process setting is performed in step S21.

  In step S20c, when the condition is not cleared (No), the process proceeds to step S20d, and it is determined whether there is a next real transmission condition 63c. If there is the next real transmission condition 63c (Yes), the process returns to step S20a. If the next clear transmission condition 63c does not exist (No), the process proceeds to step S22, delay processing is set, and the transmission mode 32c in the journal data file FD1 in FIG. 2 is set to “delay transmission”.

  The journal data jd that has been set for real processing in step S21 or the journal data jd that has been set for delay processing in step S22 is subjected to transmission processing to the center server 60 in step S23.

FIG. 8C is a flowchart illustrating details of the transmission process S23 in FIG.
When the transmission process is started in the flowchart of FIG. 8C, the transmission time for the journal data jd of FIG. 2 is determined by the journal flow rate control 32 based on the real transmission condition / delay transmission condition information of FIG. If the determination result is within the real transmission time, the process proceeds to the transmission mode determination process in step S23b. If the determination result is within the delay transmission time, the process proceeds to the journal data transmission process in step S23e. Terminates the transmission process.

  In the transmission mode determination process of step S23b, the transmission mode 32c of FIG. 2 is determined by the journal flow rate control 32. If the determination result is real communication, the process proceeds to the journal data transmission process of step S23c. It progresses to the journal data transmission process of step S23d.

  In the transmission mode determination process of step S23c, the journal serial number 32a, search key 32b, and journal data jd of FIG. 2 are transmitted to the center server 60, and the process ends. In the transmission mode determination process of step S23d, the journal serial number 32a and the search key 32b of FIG. 2 are transmitted to the center server 60, and the process ends. Further, in the transmission mode determination process of step S23e, the journal serial number 32a, search key 32b and journal data jd of FIG. 2 are transmitted to the center server 60, and the process ends.

  FIG. 9A is a flowchart illustrating daily processing in the relay device 30 in FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 9A, when the relay device 30 starts daily processing, in step S30, the journal relay control 31 performs journal deletion processing for deleting the transmitted journal data jd, and ends the daily processing. .

  FIG. 9-2 is a flowchart showing details of the journal deletion process in step S30 of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 9-2, when the journal deletion process is started, in step S31, it is determined whether or not the journal data jd stored in the journal storage unit 33 exceeds the storage days, and this determination result If the storage period exceeds the storage period, the process proceeds to step S32. If the storage period is within the storage period, the process proceeds to step S34. In step S32, with reference to the transmission information 32d in FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not the journal data jd can be deleted depending on whether the journal data jd has been transmitted or not transmitted. If the journal data jd has been transmitted, the process proceeds to step S33. If not yet transmitted, the process proceeds to step S34.

  In step S33, the journal data jd is deleted, and the process proceeds to step S34. In step S34, it is determined whether or not there is the next undeleted journal data jd. If there is, the process returns to step S31, and if not, the journal deletion process is terminated.

A journal data file JD2 having such a journal serial number 62a, search key information 62b, and journal data jd is created and stored in the journal storage unit 62.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing journal data search / query processing and update processing of the priority table 63 in the center 50 in FIG.

  In the center 50, when performing journal data search / inquiry processing, for example, an inquiry PC 70 is used.

  In the search / inquiry program memory of the inquiry PC 70, for example, a program for investigating troubles, inquiry of operation contents, acquisition of audit information, unusual transaction inquiry, transaction number / statistics, etc. is stored. . When inquiring journal data jd (for example, investigation data such as faults) stored in the journal storage unit 62, an operator operates an input device such as a keyboard of the inquiry PC 70, and a journal search key 70a corresponding to the investigation data. Enter. The inquiry PC 70 searches the search key information 62b in the journal data file JD2 of FIG. 3 stored in the journal storage unit 62 according to the search / inquiry program. By this search, the journal data jd corresponding to the search information 62b is read out, the inquiry list / journal inquiry result 70b is displayed on the display screen, and the journal search / inquiry process ends. This search history is stored in a data memory or the like in the maintenance PC 80.

  Next, update processing for updating priority information in the priority table 63 of FIG. 10 using the maintenance PC 80 will be described.

  In the data memory or the like of the maintenance PC 80 in FIG. 10, a search key 81, a search rate 82 searched by the inquiry PC 70, and a threshold 83 for the search rate 82 are stored. The section 63b held in the priority table 63 of FIG. 10 is a flag indicating whether the real transmission condition 63c is updated automatically or manually.

  When updating manually, an operator operates input devices, such as a keyboard of maintenance PC80, and inputs the transaction mode in the search key 81, for example. Then, by the maintenance program stored in the program memory of the maintenance PC 80, the transaction mode in the search key 63a in the priority table 63 is searched and displayed on the display screen. The operator updates the real transmission condition 63c on the display screen. The updated priority table 63 is copied to the priority table 34 in the relay device 30 via the network 40.

  In the case of automatic update, the maintenance program of the maintenance PC 80 retrieves an item with a high inquiry frequency (for example, the journal type in the search key 81) from the history of journal inquiry from the inquiry PC 70 and the like, and the priority corresponding thereto. The real transmission condition 63c in the table 63 is updated. The updated priority table 63 is copied to the priority table 34 in the relay device 30 via the network 40.

  (A) Since the relay device 30 limits the amount of journal transmission data to the center server 60 in accordance with the priority table 34, it is possible to perform flow control according to the network traffic and the processing load status of the center server 60. become. Therefore, in the journal data management method and the journal data monitoring system, it is possible to prevent the network 40 and the center server processing delay due to the journal data transmission.

  (B) Since the center server 60 can automatically update the journal target data type to be preferentially transmitted in accordance with the network resource and the center server capability, the flow rate control with reduced operation burden is possible.

  (C) The inquiry PC 70 can obtain the journal data jd that is frequently referred to the center server 60 and is important on the center 50 side immediately.

  (D) By specifying the journal transmission target data type list for each branch terminal 20, by specifying the journal data jd to be transmitted to the center server 60 according to the usage and installation location of the window terminal / rear terminal, etc. Usage that enables acquisition of journal data jd specialized in the type of the branch terminal 20 is also possible.

  In the first embodiment, the relay device 30 has been described as a single device. However, in the branch office terminal according to the second embodiment of the present invention, although not illustrated, the relay device 30 is incorporated into the single device.

  That is, in the branch office terminal of the second embodiment, input / output processing is performed according to the business program 21, storage means (for example, journal storage unit) 25 for storing journal data jd generated by this input / output processing, and the inquiry frequency. Priority including a real transmission condition in which a condition for transmission without delay is set for high journal data jd, and a delay transmission condition for which a condition for transmission with delay is applied to journal data jd with a low inquiry frequency A priority table 34 that stores information and a determination unit that refers to the priority table 34 and determines whether the stored journal data jd satisfies the real transmission condition or the delay transmission condition and obtains a determination result ( For example, if the judgment result by journal flow control) and the judgment result is "real transmission condition is met" Is determined to be priority data and is transmitted without delay. When the determination result is “delay transmission condition is satisfied”, it is determined that the data is non-priority data and transmits with transmission delay (for example, Journal transmitter flow control).

  By adopting such a configuration, the configuration of the sales office system can be simplified and maintenance can be facilitated.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments. For example, the branch office terminal 20, the relay device 30, the center server 50, and the priority tables 34 and 63 are changed to configurations other than those illustrated, or Various modifications, such as changing the processing of the store terminal 20, the relay device 30, and the center server 50 to processing contents other than those illustrated, are possible.
