DETAILED DESCRIPTION [Outline] When an information processing apparatus is instructed from an input means such as a keyboard to cause another apparatus to process a series of data, a series of operations for the input means is required. When a data transmission instruction to another device and the data transmission timing based on the reception of a response message from another device are stored in a file together with the timing in the order in which they occur and another device performs a series of data processing. , If it is a repetition of a series of operations of the input means that has been executed before, by sequentially reading and executing the information stored in the file, this series of operations becomes unnecessary, and it is only necessary to input the file name. did. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus which is combined with another device and sends data to the other device for processing, and particularly, a data processing procedure to be processed by another device from an input means of the information processing device. The present invention relates to an information processing device that simplifies an operation on an input unit when instructing. In recent years, for example, in order to smoothly operate a computer system delivered to a customer, it has become popular to develop programs by using an in-house computer system as an emulator. When executing such a job, a terminal device equipped with a keyboard, that is, an information processing device is connected to a communication line, and is connected to a host computer, that is, another device via this communication line to perform data transfer and transfer the data to other devices. The device is processed and the operator is executing the desired job. When the data is processed by the other device in this way, the operator needs to input the processing procedure of the data to be processed by the other device to the information processing device from the keyboard.
It is desirable that the keyboard operation for these inputs is simple. [Prior Art] When an information processing device equipped with a keyboard is connected to another device via a communication line to execute a job desired by the operator, the operator operates the keyboard connected to the information processing device, The information processing apparatus is caused to send data to be processed by another apparatus, and a program of the other apparatus for processing the data is designated. When one data processing is completed in this way, operations such as sending data to be further processed and designating a program to be executed next are repeated in response to a message from another device to input a processing procedure. As described above, one job is composed of a plurality of data and a plurality of programs for processing the data, and the operator responds to the message from the other device with the data and the program for the next process. A series of input operations are performed from the keyboard of the information processing device in order to send to the. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when the next job is executed, if the job requires the same processing procedure as the previously processed job, the operator repeats the same series of operations from the keyboard. However, there is a problem that the operator's burden is heavy. In view of such a point, it is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing apparatus that simplifies an operation on the input unit when instructing a processing procedure of data to be processed by another device from the input unit of the information processing apparatus. And [Means for Solving Problems] The above-mentioned problems can be solved by the information processing apparatus of the present invention configured as follows. The information processing device of the present invention includes:
An information processing apparatus for transmitting data to another device based on an instruction from an input unit, which is based on an input operation performed by the input unit, a data transmission instruction to another device, and a response message reception from another device to the data transmission. Information storage instruction means for instructing to store the data transmission timing in a specified file in the order in which they occur, and input operation and transmission timing are stored in the file based on the instruction by the information storage instruction means, and the file is specified by the file specification. Control means for sequentially reading and executing the stored information. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the information processing apparatus of the present invention. 1 in FIG. 1 is a control means, 2 is a storage means, 3 is an information storage instruction means, 4 is an input means, and 5 is a file. The information storage instruction means 3 is stored in the storage means 2. The control means 1 analyzes the operator's instruction input from the input means 4, reads the information storage instruction means 3 stored in the storage means 2, and based on the instruction, the operator's instruction input from the input means 4 and the instruction thereof. Occurrence timing, data to be processed by other device and its transmission timing,
Also, the program name used by the other device to process the data, its transmission timing, the timing of receiving a message transmitted from the other device, and the like are sequentially stored in the areas divided by the file name of the file 5. Here, the timing means the occurrence time of each event or the occurrence time interval of each event. When the operator inputs a command as the start time, the first data transmission time,
The occurrence time of each event is stored such as the first program name transmission time, the first message reception time, and the next data transmission time, or the occurrence time interval of each event is counted and stored. Thus, the execution of one job is completed. Next, when this job is re-executed, when the operator inputs this file name from the input means 4, the control means 1 reads the command, data and program name stored from the file 5 together with their respective transmission timings, and the respective transmission timings. To other devices. When the occurrence time of each event is stored when the job is first executed, the control unit 1 counts the occurrence time interval of each event when the job is re-executed, and the data or program name is set at the time interval. To another device. Thereafter, the control means 1 detects the timing at which the message sent from the other device is received, sequentially reads the data or program name to be sent next at the timing of the sequence order stored in the file 5, and sends it to the other device. Do it. [Operation] With the above-described configuration, when data is to be processed by another device in the same processing procedure, it is as if the operator is operating the input means 4 only by specifying the file name of the previously executed job. As described above, it becomes possible to execute data transfer between the information processing devices. As a result, it is not necessary for the operator to repeatedly perform the same operation, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator. In addition, a series of data transfer between information processing devices can be repeatedly performed at the same timing, so that stable quality data transfer is possible without violating the time monitoring regulations of the interfaces of mutual information processing devices. To Furthermore, since data transfer between different information processing devices can be repeatedly performed at the same timing, it is possible to provide an effective tool for troubleshooting. Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a circuit showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, 6 is a processor, 7 is a ROM, 8 is a RAM, 9 is an information storage instruction program, 10 is an interface circuit, 11 is a display control circuit, 12 is a display unit, 13 is a keyboard, 14 and 16 are disk control circuits. , 15 and 17 are disks. The processor 6 reads the program instructing the initial operation stored in the ROM 7 and starts the operation. The processor 6 reads various programs from the disk 15 via the disk control circuit 14, stores them in the RAM 8, and reads the programs from the RAM 8 to operate. Information storage instruction program 9
RA read from the disk 15 by the processor 6
Stored in M8. Also, if there is an operator's instruction from the keyboard 13,
The processor 6 analyzes the instruction from the operator input from the keyboard 13 and outputs various data read from the disk 15 via the disk control circuit 14 to the interface circuit.
It is sent to another device (not shown) via 10. As for the program name of the program to be processed by another device, when the operator inputs an instruction from the keyboard 13, the one input from the keyboard 13 or the one read from the disk 15 is processed by the processor 6 into an interface circuit.
It is sent to another device (not shown) via 10. When a message is sent from another device through the interface circuit 10, the processor 6 controls the display control circuit 11 to display the message on the display unit 12. Upon seeing this message, the operator instructs the keyboard 13 to send the next data to be processed. If this processing procedure is to be used repeatedly, the operator designates a file name from the keyboard 13 to the processor 6 and instructs the processor 6 to read the information storage instruction program 9. Upon receipt of this instruction, the processor 6 reads the information storage instruction program 9 from the RAM 8, and sets areas to be distinguished by the file name specified on the disk 17 via the disk control circuit 16 according to the instruction of the information storage instruction program. . Subsequently, the command input by the operator from the keyboard 13 and the time at which the command is issued are sequentially stored in the area designated in the order in which the data to be sent to another device, the program name, and the respective sending timings are generated. Here, the transmission timing is the time elapsed from the command issuance time, which is calculated by the processor 6 and stored in the disk 17. When a message is sent from another device through the interface circuit 10, its reception timing is also calculated and stored in the same manner. In this way, the information storage instruction program 9 causes the disk 17 to store a series of operations performed by the operator and the timing of occurrence of events accompanying the operations according to the flow of the operation processing procedure. When a job is completed after inputting a series of processing procedures, the operator instructs the processor 6 to terminate the storage operation with the file name from the keyboard 13, and the processor 6 instructs the information storage instruction program 9 to complete. Based on
Terminate the storage operation with the specified file name. When the operator re-executes the job stored with this file name, the operator inputs this file name from the keyboard 13 and instructs the processor 6 to read the series of processing procedures stored in the disk 17. The processor 6 reads the information storage instruction program 9 from the RAM 8 by this read instruction, and based on the instruction, a series of instructions, data, or program names stored under the specified file name of the disk 17 via the disk control circuit 16. , And their respective timings are sequentially read. The elapsed time from the start of the first data transfer with another device is counted by the processor 6, and the same time interval as when the job was previously executed is maintained in this job execution. As a result, the processor 6 sends the data or program name to the other device via the interface circuit 10 at each timing, as if the operator were operating the keyboard 13. When a message is received from another device, the processor 6 determines the next timing of sending the data or program name based on the information read from the disk 17. That is, the processor 6 counts the same time interval from the reception of a message to the transmission of the next data or program name when the same job is executed before. When the operator changes and executes the job, the contents of the file on the disk 17 are rewritten in advance and then the job is executed. For example, it is possible to change the timing of the interface with another device by shortening the time interval from receiving a message to sending the next data, or by extending it conversely. In the embodiment, when the first job is executed, the job start time and the occurrence time interval of each event are stored as the timing. However, when the job is first executed, the job start time and each event are recorded. The occurrence time of each event may be stored and the occurrence time interval of each event may be counted when the job is executed again. [Effect of the Invention] As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, when a series of operations is performed from the keyboard and data is transferred from the information processing apparatus to another apparatus for processing, the series of operations is repeated. When re-executing such a job as described above, it is only necessary to specify the file name, which has the effect of reducing the burden on the operator. In addition, since a series of data transfers between different information processing devices can be repeatedly performed at the same timing many times, it is possible to transfer data with stable quality without violating mutual time monitoring regulations and to prevent troubles. The effect is to provide effective tools for shooting.
