DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a business processing apparatus for recording the contents of various business processes to be executed on both a non-replaceable hard disk and a replaceable floppy disk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of business processing apparatus, a hard disk device having a fixed hard disk having a relatively large memory capacity and a floppy disk device having a relatively small memory capacity provided in a freely movable manner are provided. By having both of them and recording the same data in both, it is easy to search for relatively old data by the hard disk drive, and even if the hard disk is full by the floppy disk drive, the data on the hard disk can be stored on another storage medium. It is known that the data is processed by a floppy disk without transferring the data to a hard disk and the old data is simply cleared to improve the workability.

Conventionally, such a business processing apparatus has been configured to execute a business program shown in FIG.
That is, when the power is turned on, first, an initial program loading process is performed, and by this process, a control program, various business processing programs, and the like are read from a hard disk or a floppy disk to a D (dynamic) -RAM. Subsequently, the initial program read out to the DRAM is executed, and the initialization of each I / O unit, the initial value setting of the DRAM, and the like are performed as a power-on initialization process.

Subsequently, an audit data recording medium determination process is performed. In this process, the memory is backed up by the management file and battery provided on the hard disk.
The hard disk management files provided in the MOS-RAM (hereinafter referred to as CRAM) are compared, and if they match, the hard disk is determined as the audit data recording medium. Also, the management file provided on the floppy disk is compared with the management file for the floppy disk provided in the CRAM, and if they match, the floppy disk is determined as the audit data recording medium. In the case of a floppy disk, an error message is displayed if the comparison results in a mismatch, and a message for replacing the floppy disk is displayed. Also, in consideration of the replacement of the floppy disk when the floppy disk is full, when a new floppy disk having no audit data recorded therein is set, even if the comparison result does not match, it is valid without error. When the audit data recording medium finalization process is completed in this way, a business selection process is performed and each business process is executed.

[0005]

In such a conventional apparatus, when a floppy disk different from the original floppy disk is set, the original floppy disk can be set in order to detect the error and cause an error. However, if unrecorded data is generated on the floppy disk for some reason, it cannot be checked.Therefore, maintenance personnel frequently perform maintenance work and Complicated work was needed to make up for it.

Further, if a new floppy disk is replaced while unrecorded data still exists on the floppy disk, the new floppy disk is treated as valid, so that there has been a problem that continuous recording of data is impaired.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a business processing apparatus capable of judging whether or not there is unrecorded data on a floppy disk before the start of business processing and, if there is unrecorded data, automatically compensating the unrecorded data from a hard disk. It is intended to provide.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a business processing apparatus for recording various business processing contents executed by an input operation as a data file on a non-exchangeable hard disk and a data file on a replaceable floppy disk. Comparing the management file for recording the audit data provided in the hard disk and the floppy disk with the audit data recorded in the management file for the hard disk and the floppy disk before the start of the business process, there is unrecorded data on the floppy disk When it is determined that there is unrecorded data on the floppy disk by this determining means, the unrecorded data is written from the hard disk to the data file of the floppy disk, and the management file of the floppy disk is updated. Let me update It is provided with a non-recorded data processing means.

[0009]

According to the present invention having such a configuration, the audit data recorded in the management files of the hard disk and the floppy disk are compared before starting the business process, and it is determined whether or not there is unrecorded data on the floppy disk. . When it is determined that there is unrecorded data on the floppy disk, the unrecorded data is written from the hard disk to the data file of the floppy disk and the management file of the floppy disk is updated.

Disk management file 12a for storing audit data consisting of: a floppy disk data file 12 for storing year, month, date and time, serial number, and data as a pair
b is provided. The main CPU 1 executes a business program shown in FIG. 6 when the power is turned on.

In this process, first, an initial program is loaded, and a control program and various business processing programs are read from a hard disk or a floppy disk and stored in the DRAM 5. Subsequently, the initial program read out to the DRAM 5 is executed, and initialization of each I / O unit, initial value setting of the DRAM, and the like are performed as power-on initialization processing.

Subsequently, an audit data recording medium determination process is performed. In this process, the hard disk management file 14a provided on the hard disk is read into the DRAM hard disk management file 5a, and the data is compared with the CRAM hard disk management file 6a. That is, start date and time, end date and time, start serial number, end serial number, start record NO. And end record NO. Are compared, and only when all of them are equal, the hard disk is determined as the audit data recording medium.

That is, start date and time, end date and time, start serial number, end serial number, start record NO. And end record N
O. Are compared, and only when all of them are equal, the floppy disk is determined as the audit data recording medium. In the case of a floppy disk, if the comparison results in a mismatch, an error message indicating the mismatch is displayed, and a message for replacing the floppy disk is displayed. This process is repeated by the operator inputting the confirmation key. Also, in consideration of replacement of the floppy disk when the floppy disk is full, loss or damage of the floppy disk, etc., when a new floppy disk with no audit data recorded is set, even if the comparison result does not match, it is valid without error. .
In addition, in a state where one of the hard disk and the floppy disk cannot be recorded due to a failure or the like, the function of automatically supplementing the unregistered audit data of the floppy disk from the hard disk by selecting the unrecorded operation is not operated. That is, only when both the hard disk and the floppy disk are recordable, the automatic supplement function for the unregistered data from the hard disk to the floppy disk is activated.

When both the hard disk and the floppy disk are determined as audit data recording media,
Subsequently, a recording situation recognition process is performed. If any one of the hard disk and the floppy disk is in the unrecorded operation, the operation selection processing described later is the next processing.

As shown in FIG. 7, the recording status recognition process first compares the end date and time of the CRAM hard disk management file 6a with the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b. If the hard disk is newer, the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d of the DRAM 5 is turned on, and this processing ends. If the floppy disk is newer, the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d is turned off and the process is terminated. When the floppy disk is newer, for example, the hard disk drive 14 breaks down during business and data is recorded only on the floppy disk. In such a case, the latest data is recorded only on the floppy disk. Therefore, the end date is newer for floppy disks.

If the end date and time of the hard disk and that of the floppy disk are equal, then the end serial number of the CRAM hard disk management file 6a is compared with the end serial number of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b. If they match, the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d is turned off. If they do not match, the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d
Is turned on to end this processing.

When the recording status recognition processing is completed, the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d is checked to determine whether there is unrecorded data on the floppy disk. If the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d is ON, the process of copying the audit data from the hard disk to the floppy disk is performed. If it is turned off, the job selection process is the next process. The copy process is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the end record No. of the DRAM hard disk management file 5a is first set. Is the lead record NO. Copy to memory 5e.

Next, the read record NO. Read record NO. Is subtracted by 1. The read record No. is read from the hard disk data file 14b on the hard disk. Is read and stored in the DRAM data buffer 5c. Subsequently, the date and time of the DRAM data buffer 5c are compared with the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b. This is repeated until both are equal or the end date of the floppy disk is newer.

When the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b are equal to or newer than the date and time of the DRAM data buffer 5c, the DRAM
The serial number of the data buffer 5c is compared with the end serial number of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b. This is repeated until both are equal or the end serial number of the floppy disk becomes larger. And during that time the lead record
NO. Read record NO. Continues to be subtracted one by one.

The date and time of the DRAM data buffer 5c are stored in the CRAM floppy disk management file 6 according to the date and time.
If the end date and time of b are equal or greater, the copy start record N of the hard disk data file 14b
O. Is the lead record NO. Read record N in memory 5e
O. Is determined.

After this determination is made, the read record No. Read record NO. Is added to. Then, the read record No. is read from the hard disk data file 14b. Is read out to the DRAM data buffer 5c, and then this record is stored in the end record No. of the floppy disk data file 12b. After writing to the record next to the record, the end date and time, end serial number and end record number of the DRAM floppy disk management file 5b are stored. To update.

The read record NO. Read record NO. And the end record No. of the CRAM hard disk management file 6a. Compare with Then, until the comparison result becomes equal, the read record NO. Memory 5
e read record NO. While repeating the addition of 1 to the hard disk data file 14b, writing a record from the hard disk data file 14b to the floppy disk
End date and time, end serial number and end record No. of the RAM floppy disk management file 5b. Repeat the update. Thus, the unrecorded data of the floppy disk is automatically supplemented from the hard disk.
When writing unrecorded data, the floppy disk becomes full.
When it becomes full, the liquid crystal display 10
Perform a dance display and exchange the floppy disk with the operator.
Notify replacement. This allows the operator to
Replace the disk with a new floppy disk. Thus new
By loading the floppy disk of
Automatic filling of unrecorded data to floppy disk
Will continue.

Read record NO. Read record NO. And CRAM hard disk management file 6a
End record NO. Are matched, the DRAM floppy disk management file 5b is written to the floppy disk management file 12a of the floppy disk and the CRA
Copy to the M floppy disk management file 6b. Thereafter, the business selection process and each business process are repeated until the power is turned off.

In the embodiment having such a configuration, when the initial program loading process and the initialization process are completed when the power is turned on, the hard disk management file 14a of the hard disk is read into the DRAM hard disk management file 5a and the CRAM hard disk management file 14a is read. The data is compared with 6a, and the hard disk is determined as an audit data recording medium. Also, the floppy disk management file 12a of the floppy disk is
Read to AM floppy disk management file 5b and read C
The data is compared with the RAM floppy disk management file 6b, and the floppy disk is determined as an audit data recording medium. The floppy disk is determined as the audit data recording medium by this determination processing, thereby confirming that the disk is a correct floppy disk.

Subsequently, the end date and time of the CRAM hard disk management file 6a and the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b are compared. If there is unregistered data on the floppy disk, the DRA
Floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d of M5 is ON
Is done.

When the floppy disk unregistered flag memory 5d is turned on, the end record NO. Is the lead record NO.
The read record No. is copied to the memory 5e. The date and time of the DRAM data buffer 5c are compared with the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b while subtracting 1 by 1. And the DRAM data buffer 5
If the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b is equal to or newer than the date and time of c,
Further, the serial number of the DRAM data buffer 5c is compared with the end serial number of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b. When the end date and time of the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b is equal to or larger than the date and time of the DRAM data buffer 5c, the copy start record NO. Is the lead record NO. The read record number is stored in the memory 5e. Is determined as

Thereafter, the read record NO. Read record NO. Are added one by one and the read record No. is read from the hard disk data file 14b. Is once read out to the DRAM data buffer 5c, and then the end record No. of the floppy disk data file 12b is read. Is written to the next record. Also DRA
End date and time, end serial number and end record No. of the M floppy disk management file 5b. Is updated.
The above processing is the read record No. Read record NO. And CRAM hard disk management file 6a
End record NO. Are performed, and when they are equal, the DRAM floppy disk management file 5b is transferred to the floppy disk management file 12a of the floppy disk.
And copy it to the CRAM floppy disk management file 6b.

Thus, the unrecorded data of the floppy disk is automatically supplemented from the hard disk. Therefore, the maintenance work of the floppy disk by the operator becomes unnecessary.

Further, the data of the hard disk and the data of the floppy disk always coincide with each other when the business process is started, and the continuous recording of data on the floppy disk can be reliably guaranteed. Moreover, it is issued the day before the business processing
It automatically compensates for unrecorded data that has been generated.
The operator can use a floppy disk during busy business operations.
There is no need to change, so you can change the floppy disk
The accompanying operation mistake can be prevented as much as possible.

In the above embodiment, the present invention has been described as applied to a teller terminal which performs processing such as depositing and withdrawing at a teller of a financial institution. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. .
