DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a data transfer confirming method, and more particularly to a data transfer confirming method for confirming a transmission result by a person in charge of transmission at an office, a company, or the like performing data transfer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to check the transmission result of data transfer, a person in charge of a transmission side connects an input / output terminal to a transmission source computer and issues a data transfer instruction, and then seeks an appropriate time. In this case, it is necessary to inquire the transmission source computer, search for the transmission result specified by the user from the transmitted transmission history, and confirm the result.

[0003] Therefore, if the data transfer is not normally completed at the time when the inquiry is made, for example, because a confirmation notification of the reception completion has not arrived from the transmission destination computer to the transmission source computer, the data transmission is not performed again after a while. The same operation had to be repeated until an inquiry was made to the transmission source computer and it was confirmed that all the data transfer indicated was completed normally.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a typical operation in the conventional input / output terminal described above. First, the source computer and the input / output terminal are connected (step S4).
1) For example, an instruction to transmit data stored in the storage device to the Fukuoka branch, Kagoshima branch, and Kumamoto branch is given to the transmission source computer (step S42). If the instruction is transmitted normally, the transmission result is confirmed (step S4).
3). The waiting time for the confirmation notification to return from the destination computer to the source computer is not constant. The system waits until a time when all transmission results are expected to be returned, and checks the transmission history to determine whether all transmission results have been completed normally (step S44). If everything is normally completed, the confirmation operation is completed. If not, the following operation is performed as a measure for the transmission result (step S4).
5). For example, if the data transfer to the Kagoshima branch does not end with "line in use", it takes time before retransmission is performed, so the input / output terminal is usually once disconnected from the source computer. After a while, it is checked whether the transmission source computer and the input / output terminal are connected (step S4).
6) If not, the source computer and the input / output terminal are connected (step S47). After the connection, the process returns to step S43 to check the transmission result again, and repeats steps S43 to S47 until all transmission results are normally completed.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional data transfer confirmation method, when retransmission is performed during a line use or a line failure, the transmission source computer is repetitively transmitted until all transmissions are completed normally. I needed to contact. Further, since the transmission result does not return within a certain time, the transmission result confirmation waiting time is not constant.

[0006] Therefore, the person in charge of the data transfer,
The terminal operation has to be performed many times to confirm the transmission result, and the man-hour has been a considerable burden. Furthermore, since other persons also perform transmission, necessary information is searched from a transmission history in which a large number of transmission results are mixed, so that it takes a long time to search and results may be overlooked. Was.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a data transfer confirmation system which displays the result of data transfer on the desk of a person in charge, thereby reducing the number of terminal operation steps for confirming the result of data transfer and preventing oversight. It is in.

[0011]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a data transfer confirmation system according to the present invention.

The data transfer confirmation method shown in FIG. 1 is based on a desktop automatic display device group 1 including a plurality of desktop automatic display devices 11, 12, 13,..., An input / output terminal 2 including a display unit 21 and an input unit 22, and , A source computer 3 and a destination computer group 4 including a plurality of destination computers 41, 42,.... The transmission source computer 3 includes a storage device 34 in which data to be transferred is stored,
A monitoring device 30 including an address management unit 31, a transmission information unit 32, and a display processing unit 33 is provided in addition to a transfer processing unit 35 that executes data transfer processing.

Here, the operation of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
08 ”of the data“ DATA ”in the storage device 34
The case where data "1" is transferred from the Tokyo head office to the Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and Kumamoto branches will be specifically described as an example.

The address management unit 31 stores data relating to the person in charge according to the format shown in FIG. In the case of Mr. Yamamoto, "1008" is in the person in charge code information part and "Yamamoto" is in the person in charge name information part.
However, “13” is stored in the desktop automatic display device information section. That is, the person in charge of Mr. Yamamoto has a code of “1008”, which means that the transmission result of the data transfer is output to the desktop automatic display device 13. When Mr. Yamamoto uses the transmission source computer 3, the input / output terminal 2 is connected to the transmission source computer 3 using the person in charge code "1008", and necessary data and commands are input.

First, the operation of the input / output terminal 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, Mr. Yamamoto inputs the person in charge code “1008” from the input unit 22 and requests connection with the transmission source computer 3 (step S2).
1). When connected, the data “DATA” in the storage device 34
An instruction to transmit “1” to the Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and Kumamoto branches is given to the source computer 3 (step S2).
2). If the instruction is transmitted normally, a request to disconnect the transmission source computer 3 and the input / output terminal 2 is made and the operation is terminated (step S23).

Next, the operation of the transmission source computer 3 will be described. After the transmission source computer 3 receives the data transfer instruction from the input / output terminal 2 after connecting the input / output terminal 2 in response to the request (step S31), the transmission source computer 3 sends the data transfer instruction information as shown in FIG. Register (step S32). In the data transfer instruction information, a record is created by assigning an identifier to each combination of the data name, the destination, and the transmission date and time (the specified transmission date and time or the date and time when the transfer instruction was received), and the management information section (reference number 61) stores an identifier. That is, in response to the data transfer instruction from the input / output terminal 2 described above, three records are created, and the record for the Fukuoka branch of the transfer destination specified first contains "" in the transmission file information section (reference numeral 62). DATA1 ”is in the person in charge code information section (reference number 63), and the person in charge code of Mr. Yamamoto is“ 1008 ”.
However, "Yamamoto" is in the person in charge name information section (reference number 64), the Fukuoka branch is in the transmission destination information section (reference number 65), and the date and time when the transfer instruction is received in the transmission date and time information section (reference number 66) is “Transmitting” is stored in the transmission result information section (reference numeral 68). Similar records are created for the Kagoshima branch and the Kumamoto branch, respectively, as shown in FIG.

In step S33, the display processing section 33 transfers the data transfer instruction information registered in the transmission information section 32 to the desktop automatic display device 13 for display. The desktop automatic display device to be displayed is determined by searching the address management unit 31 with the person-in-charge code “1008” and referring to the value “13” of the corresponding desktop automatic device information unit.

Subsequently, in accordance with the data transfer instruction information registered in the transmission information section 32, the transmission source computer 3 sends the corresponding destination computers in the destination computer group 4 to the corresponding destination computers in the storage device 34 via the transfer processing section 35. Is transferred together with the identifier of the management information section (reference numeral 61) (step S34). When the transfer is completed normally, the transmission result of "normal termination" is returned from the transmission destination computer to the transmission source computer 3, and when the transmission is not completed normally, "the line is in use" from the communication control device or the like.
And a transmission result such as "line failure" is returned (step S35).

The transmission result received in step S35 updates the transmission result information part (reference numeral 68) of the corresponding record in the transmission information part 32 shown in FIG. (Reference number 67) (step S36). The record to be updated is an identifier sent together with the transmission result in the management information section (reference numeral 61).
Is searched, and the matching record is selected.

Next, in step S37, the display processing section 33 transmits the updated data transfer instruction information of the transmission information section 32 to the desktop automatic display device 13 and displays it.

When the above processing is completed, step S38
In, it is checked whether all the transmission results of the data transfer instructions registered in the transmission information section 32 have been completed normally. If not all have been completed normally, the process returns to step S34, and if all have been completed normally, the process ends.

Finally, the operation of each desktop automatic display device of the desktop automatic display device group 1 will be described. When the data transfer instruction information is sent from the transmission source computer 3 by the processing in step S33, the information is stored in a memory and then displayed on a display (step S11). FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a change in the screen image of the desktop automatic display device. At this point, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the contents of the data transfer request to the Fukuoka, Kagoshima, and Kumamoto branches specified by the user. Are displayed individually, and “transmitting” is blinking in all of the status columns.

Thereafter, when the transmission result is transmitted from the transmission source computer 3 in the process of step S38, the corresponding portion of the data transfer instruction information stored in the memory is updated, and the screen image is also changed (step S12). When the transfer to the Fukuoka branch is completed normally, the display in the status column changes to a continuous display of "normal end" as shown in FIG. Displays the incoming date and time. The same operation is repeated until all the instructed data transfers are completed normally, and when all the transmission results are normally completed, the confirmation process ends (step S13). When the confirmation by the person in charge is completed, the record in the internal memory is deleted and the display disappears by operating a button on the desktop automatic display device.

FIG. 5 (b) shows a state immediately after the transfer to the Fukuoka branch has been completed normally and the transfer to the Kagoshima branch has been waiting for retransmission because the line is in use.
The status column for the Kumamoto branch remains flashing “transmitting”.

As described above, the person in charge connects the transmission source computer 3 and the input / output terminal 2 and issues a data transfer instruction, and the transmission result is automatically displayed on the person's desk automatic display device. Therefore, the person in charge does not need to check the result using the input / output terminal 2, and the extra man-hour for terminal operation and the result waiting time can be reduced. Further, since the transmission result of the other person in charge is not displayed, oversight can be prevented and the number of steps for confirming the result can be reduced.

In the above-described embodiment, the monitoring device 30 is installed inside the transmission source computer 3, but it is not necessary to provide all the functions belonging to the monitoring device 30 inside the transmission source computer, but may be provided outside. Also, a dedicated desk automatic display device is provided for each person in charge, and a plurality of displays can be simultaneously displayed on the screen. However, the display function of another device instead of the dedicated device can be used.

That is, a telephone with a display having a built-in memory is used in place of the automatic table display device, and necessary information is sequentially displayed on the display by button operation or the like.
Address management unit 31 and display processing unit 3 in monitoring device 30
3 can be installed in the exchange, and only the transmission information section 32 can be stored in the transmission source computer 3.

[0029]

As described above, according to the data transfer confirmation method of the present invention, an automatic display device for display is provided for each person in charge, and the person in charge merely instructs data transfer from the input / output terminal, and the transfer result is obtained. Is automatically displayed on the automatic display device, eliminating the need to check the results at the input / output terminal, reducing man-hours and waiting time for results, and not overlooking because the transmission results of other personnel are not displayed. There is an effect that can be prevented.
