[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

As a data registration system of this kind, one record is
Items are entered one by one, in correspondence with the display screen. At this time, the contents of the record or field registered in the past and the record currently registered or the contents of the field are the same, or It often happens that most of them match. So in this case,
In a conventional system, the contents of each field of the most recently registered record are stored, and the contents can be referred to as needed and copied and registered in the record currently being registered.

In this way, if you register one data,
Because the memory content is updated by this,
The record and field that can be referred to are always the immediately preceding data, and in reality, those registered in the past before that are not taken into consideration. However, when registering a database, it is often necessary to refer to and register data input in the past before that.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a data registration device which can facilitate the data registration work and consequently can speed up data input.

In the present embodiment, this is a copy data storage unit. Used for searching. Reference numeral 22 is a storage unit that stores the number of digits of the copy data stored in the copy data storage unit. By storing this number of digits, the copy data can be made variable in length. Note that, instead of storing the number of digits, a code indicating the end of the data is added to the end of the copy data, so that the copy data storage unit 23 can have a variable length.

FIG. 3 is an example of a data input screen displayed on the display screen DSP used in the present embodiment. The data input screen 30 is composed of a plurality of data records 31a to 31e, and one data record is composed of a plurality of fields 32a to 32e. Each field 32a-32e comprises a field identification code. Reference numerals 33a and 33b are cursors, which indicate processing positions on the display screen 30.

In this type of data registration system, the display position of the display screen DSP is made to correspond to the data of each field 32a to 32e, and records 31a to 31e composed of a plurality of fields 32a to 32e in correspondence with the display screen DSP. Are sequentially stored and registered.

FIG. 4 shows the reference data display area 13 in FIG. 1, which is displayed at an arbitrary position on the input screen 30 in FIG.

FIG. 5 is an overall block diagram of a computer device that employs this embodiment. The device 51 is a display device, and displays the input screen 30 shown in FIG. 3, the reference data display area 13 shown in FIG. 4, messages and the like on the display screen DSP. The device 52 is an input device (such as a keyboard), and inputs various data, request information, and the like. apparatus
A readable / writable storage device 53 stores the input data, the data to be stored for copying, the field identification code, and the like. The device 54 is a readable and writable external storage device, and may store the content stored in the storage device 53. The external storage device 54 is connected if necessary. The device 55 is a readable storage device. Each processing program is stored in the device 55 or the device 53 described above. The device 56 is each processing device, and executes predetermined processing by sequentially reading and executing processing programs as various processing means described later stored in the storage device 53 or the storage device 55.

The copying operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Here, the input field 11a in FIG. 1 is the field 32c in the record 31a on the input screen 30 in FIG. 3, that is, the field where the cursor 33a is located.
Is the field 32c in the record 31c, that is, the cursor 33
The field where b is located. As shown in FIG. 3, the cursor 33a is set in the field 11a to be copied, and the storage request 14 is input from the input device 52. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the storage request 14 causes the copy processing means P-SET to operate, and adds a field identification code 12a to the data of the input field 11a, and converts this series of data into reference data. Store in Table 10. The reference data table 10 can store a plurality of reference data 10a to 10n, and can store a plurality of reference data having the same field identification code. A configuration in which the reference data stored in the reference data storage units 10a to 10n as described above is copied to the input field 11b having the field identification code 12b will be described. First, the cursor 33b is set to the copy destination field 11b, and the input device 52
Then, a copy data reference request 15 is input. In response to the reference request 15, the copy data reference processing means P-DSP operates and searches the reference data table 10 for the reference data storage units 10a to 10n having the field identification code 12b of the field where the cursor 33b is located. The contents of the storage unit 23 are sequentially displayed in the reference data display area 13. When a copy request 16 is input from the input device 52 to the data to be copied from among the displayed copy data, the copy processing means P-DPY operates in response to this, and the copy destination input field is input. The data is copied and stored in the field 11b.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the data storage processing means P-SET to be referred to. This program operates when a copy data storage request is input in any field. First, in step 601, an unused data area is searched from the reference data table 10. If there are no unused areas, display an error message in step 607.
1 is displayed, and an error is terminated in step 608. If there is an unused area, the reference data is stored in the reference data storage units 10a to 10n of the reference data table 10 in steps 602 to 604.
To store. First, in step 602, the range of data to be stored in the input field to be stored is determined, and the number of digits of the stored data is determined by the reference data storage units 10a to 10n shown in FIG.
It is stored in the digit number storage unit 22 of. In this embodiment, the case where the range from the head of the field to the cursor position 33a is the range of the copy data is shown. The identification code 12a of the field for which the copy data storage request is input in step 603, that is, the field where the cursor 33a is located
It is stored in the field identification code storage unit 21 in the figure. In step 604, the copy data determined in step 602 is stored in the copy data storage unit 23 in FIG. Continue, Step 605
Then, the counter CNT storing the number of stored reference data items is updated. The copy data counter CNT is initialized when the system is installed or when a program is started and when an initialization request is issued. In step 606, the storage processing of the reference data ends.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing the copy data reference processing means P-DSP. This means P-DSP operates when a copy data reference request is input in an arbitrary field. First, in step 701, a pointer SPT for searching the reference data table 10 is initialized. In step 702, the identification code of the field for which the reference request is input, that is, the field where the cursor 33b is located, is compared with the storage content of the field identification code storage unit 21 in the reference data table 10 pointed to by the search pointer SPT. If they do not match, it is determined in step 703 whether or not it is the end position of the stored reference data. If not, for example, 1 is added to the search pointer SPT in step 704, and
Returning to step 2, the contents of the next reference data storage units 10a to 10n are searched. If it is determined in step 703 that the search position matches the end position, processing for ending the search after step 709 is executed. If the identification codes match in step 702, step 705
And the reference data storage units 10a to 10n indicated by the search pointer SPT
The storage contents of the copy data storage unit 23 in the storage area are displayed in the reference data display area 13. In step 706, the operator is requested to copy the reference data displayed in step 705, reference the next data, or cancel the search. Here, when the copy request 16 is input,
In step 708, the displayed copy data is copied to the position of the cursor 33b in the copy destination field (copy program P-CPY). Then, in step 709, the display in the reference data display area 13 is erased, and in step 710, the processing by the reference processing means P-DSP is ended. When the next data reference request is input in step 707, the process for retrieving the next copy data after step 703 is executed. If a search stop request is input in step 707, a process for terminating the reference process is executed in step 707 and subsequent steps without performing the copying process.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present embodiment, when referring to copy data when registering a data record, only the copy data having the matching field identification code stored in addition to the copy data is referred to. Due to
Limited reference data. Therefore, even when a plurality of reference data are stored from a plurality of fields and a large number of reference data are stored in the reference data table 10, there is an effect that the reference is easy. Further, as the copy data, data in an arbitrary range in the field can be stored, and only necessary portions of each data can be copied. Therefore, there is an effect that the data copy operation becomes easy.

As described above, in the embodiment, the range of the copy data is designated by setting the copy range from the head of the copy target field to the cursor position in step 602 of the copy data storage processing means P-SET. The copy range may be determined. That is, in the first case, the entire target field is used as the copy data. According to this, the range specifying operation can be omitted. The second method is to specify the start position and the end position of the copy range by using a cursor or the like. According to this, it is possible to refer only to any desired character string, and the data registration work can be made more efficient.

Further, as an example of the display at the time of referring to the copy data stored in this way, the following may be given in addition to the example shown in the embodiment. That is, the display area of the reference data is the position on the display screen DSP assigned to the field in which the reference request is input. In this case, the copy processing unit P-CPY executes in step 708,
When the reference data which does not require the process of copying the copy data to the copy destination field is displayed at this position, the data to be selected and input is directly displayed at the input position, so that the input data can be easily confirmed. As another method, a plurality of sets of reference data are displayed in a display area, and desired data is selected from the plurality of sets. With this configuration, the operator can refer to a plurality of sets of the copy data at a time, which makes it easier to refer to the copy data.

The display area of the reference data may be always set on the display screen DSP, or may be in a window format which is set on the display screen DSP only when it is required by the reference request.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen when the display area of the reference data is configured in a window format. In this case, move the cursor to the copy destination field on the data input screen 30.
33b is set, and a copy data reference request 1
Enter 5. As a result, the reference data display window 100 is opened at an arbitrary position on the data input screen 30, and the copy data 23a having the same field identification code as the copy destination field in the copy data table 10 is opened therein.
Search and display ~ 23d. A copy data selection cursor 102 for selecting copy data is moved to a target copy data position using a cursor moving key or the like, and a copy request 16 is input. In response to this copy request, the copy data specified by the cursor 102 is moved to the cursor 33b of the copy destination field.
Copy to the position. If there is no target data in the copy data 23a to 23d, a reference data display switching request is issued to retrieve the corresponding copy data from the copy data table 10 and display it in the window 100. .

In this embodiment, a case has been described in which a plurality of pieces of reference data having the same field identification code can be stored. However, the number of pieces of reference data may be limited to one. In this case, the program constituting the reference request and the reference processing means can be made simple or unnecessary, and the copying operation and its processing program can be simplified.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the fields in the data record and their field identification codes are in one-to-one correspondence, but one field identification code may be common to a plurality of fields. For example, in FIG. 3, when the address field and the address field are included in a data record on another screen, both field identification codes are made the same. In this case, copy the data stored on both sides,
It can be used effectively on both sides.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show another embodiment of the present invention. By combining and storing data of arbitrary plural fields in one record, data of plural fields can be simultaneously copied. It was made.

That is, FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the configuration of the one-record reference data storage table 10 'used in this embodiment. 81
Is a field number storage unit for storing the number of fields to be stored. Reference numerals 82a to 82n denote copy data storage units for storing copy data of arbitrary fields, and the detailed configuration is the same as that in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a processing flowchart for storing a plurality of field data in the reference data storage table 10 '. However, the processing boxes 902, 904, and 905 indicated by dotted lines are processing means that operate according to each request. First, step 901
Then, a cursor is set at an arbitrary position of a record to be stored, and a storage request for a plurality of fields is input from the input device 52. In step 902, the field count storage unit 81
Is initialized. In step 903, the cursor is moved to a plurality of target fields and a storage request for one field is input. In step 904, the copy field storage processing means P-SET
Is operated to copy the data of the target field to the copy data storage unit 82a of the reference data storage table 10 'for one record.
To 82n, and in step 905, a storage field number storage unit.
Add 1 to 81. By repeating steps 903 to 905, copy data is stored for a plurality of fields. To end the storage of multiple fields,
At 906, an end request is input and the processing ends. When copying stored copy data, a copy request is input and copied when a data record of a copy destination is input.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to simultaneously copy a plurality of arbitrary fields in one record, which makes it extremely easy to input data records having similar data.

Also in the present embodiment, by providing a plurality of one-record copy data storage tables, a plurality of records can be stored. In response to a reference request for copy data, a copy is selected from among the plurality of stored records. It is possible.

When there are a plurality of data records having different configurations or uses, each record has the same record identification code by adding a record identification code for identifying the record to the copy data table of one record in FIG. Data can be copied between records.

Here, in the above-described embodiment and the embodiment, a plurality of data records are input on one input screen, but the case of inputting data records one by one on one input screen is also described above. The embodiment and the embodiment can be applied.

In addition, although the case where the reference data table 10 is specially provided as the reference information storage unit has been described in the above embodiments, this may be shared with the record data storage unit that stores the input record data. That is, the copy data reference processing means P-DSP sends the copy data reference request 1
In response to 5, the copy data may be retrieved and read from the record data storage unit.

Further, as described above, according to the embodiment, the following effects are obtained in copying the data record. In other words, when a plurality of fields each store a plurality of copy data and the stored copy data becomes large, the data to be referred to is limited by the field identification code added to the stored copy data. Easy reference. Further, since an arbitrary range in the field can be designated as the copy data, only a necessary portion can be copied. Furthermore,
Since arbitrary plural fields in the record can be stored in combination, plural fields can be copied at the same time.

〔The invention's effect〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a data registration device that can facilitate the registration work for data registration and consequently can speed up data input.
