Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a console for operating a computer, and more particularly to a method for inputting confidential data.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when entering confidential data from a console, an operator notifies a computer that confidential data will be entered, and the computer receives the notification and sends the key input data to the console on a CRT display. This was done by issuing a non-display mode input request.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As mentioned above, when confidential data is input from a conventional console, an input request for a mode in which key input data is not displayed on the CRT display is issued to the console. Therefore, if input requests are received from multiple jobs at the same time, the input for all jobs will not be displayed on the CRT display, and data that does not have confidentiality will also be displayed. The problem was that even if the data was incorrect, it would not be a problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation,
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a new console input method that makes it possible to solve the above-mentioned problems inherent in the conventional technology.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the console input method according to the present invention includes a console having a function of not displaying key input data on a CRT display, which receives input data from the console (11). A state determining means for determining whether the console is in a mode in which input data is not displayed on the CRT display, and managing which job is issuing an input request to the console for not displaying the input data on the CRT display. The input state management table determines whether the input is for a job that has issued an input request for a mode in which input data is not displayed on the CRT display to the console based on the determination result of the state determination means. input display means for displaying the input data on a CRT display in the case of input for a job for which no input request has been issued as determined from the table; an input determination means for determining whether or not it is an input request; and an input request for displaying or not displaying input data on a CRT display based on the determination result of the input determination means, and setting the input state management table to that effect. and input setting means.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a computer system to which the present invention is applied. This computer system is comprised of a computer 1 and a console 2, as shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 1, the console 2 includes a computer Htlefi determination means 11, an input state management table I2, an input display means 13, an input determination means 14, and an input setting means 5, and the console 2 includes a keyboard 21 and , and a CRT display 22.

The state determining means 11 sends data input from the keyboard 21 to the input display means 13 or the input determining means 14 depending on the display mode of the console 2, and performs the operations shown in FIG. 2. First, in step 85, it is determined whether the console 2 is in a mode in which input data is not displayed, and if it is in a mode in which input data is not displayed, in step 852, the input data is sent to the input display means. If the mode is to display,
The input data is sent to the input determination means 14.

The input state management table 12 is a list of jobs that have issued input requests to the console 2 in a mode in which no input data is displayed.

The input display means 13 displays the input data on the console 2 and sends the input data to the input determination means 14 if the input data is for a jigob that has not issued an input request for a mode in which input data is not displayed. Perform the operations shown in Figure 3. First, in step S61, it is determined whether the input data sent from the status determining means 11 is for a job that has issued an input request for a mode in which input data is not displayed, and if it is input for a job that is to be displayed, it is determined in step SG2. input data to CRT display 2
2 and sends the input data to the input determination means 14 in step 5Ei3. If the input is for a job that is not to be displayed, the input data is sent to the input setting means in step 863.

The input determining means 14 is a state determining means! 1 or the input data sent from the input determining means 13, and sends the input data to the input setting means 15, and performs the operation shown in FIG. First, in step S71, it is determined whether the input data from the console 2 is a confidential input request,
If it is a confidential input request, the input data is sent to the input setting means 15 in step S72. If it is not a confidential input request, the input data is sent to the corresponding job in step S73.

The input setting means 15 is an input determination means! This is to issue an input request for a mode in which the input data sent from No. 4 is not displayed on the CRT display 22 or to be displayed, and to set the request source jib number in the input status management table 12. Perform the operations shown in the figure. First, step S8
1, it is determined whether the input data is a request not to display the input data on the CRT display 22, and if it is a request not to display the input data, in step S82, an input request for a mode in which the input data is not displayed is issued, and in step 883, the input state management table is 12 Register your job number. If it is a display request, an input request for a mode for displaying input data is issued in step 884, and the corresponding job number is deleted from the input state management table 12 in step S85.

As described above, when confidential data is input to the computer 1 from the console 2, it can be done without displaying it on the CRT display 22, and non-confidential data can be displayed on the CRT display 22.

As described in detail, according to the present invention, when confidential input is performed from the console, only the input for the corresponding job is registered in the CR.
Inputs for jobs that are not displayed on the T-display and do not require confidential input are now displayed, and the input data can also be confirmed, thereby preventing erroneous operation of the system.
