Next, the operation of the control method of the information processing apparatus of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained.

When starting up the information processing system, each information processing device 10.
Attribute numbers 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 are determined, and the attribute number adding means 101 in the central information processing device 100 and the attribute number adding means 201 in the central information processing device 200 respectively process the attribute numbers and information processing. A correspondence table is created in which correspondences with devices 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 are registered.

Here, each information processing device 10.20.30.40.5
Device numbers 0 and 60 are information processing devices 10.20.
30° Codes attached to 40, 50 and 60, respectively
10.20°30, 40.50 and 60". Also, each information processing device 10.20.30.4
Attribute numbers 0.50 and 60 indicate information processing device 10.
Assume that 20 and 30 are "1" and the information processing devices 40, 50 and 50 are "2".

Now, when the information processing devices 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 are resources of the central information processing device 100,
A case will be described in which the information processing devices 40, 50 and 60 are separated from the resources of the central information processing device 100 and incorporated into the resources of the central information processing device 200.

First, from the operator console 105, attribute number “2” is sent.
A disconnection command to disconnect the central information processing unit 100 from the resources of the central information processing unit 100 is input.

The receiving means 102, which is waiting to receive a control command regarding the attribute number (step 1021), receives the input detachment command and the attribute number "2" and notifies the attribute number corresponding means 103 (step 1022).

The attribute number correspondence means 103, which has been notified of the detachment command and the attribute number "2" from the receiving means 102, refers to the entry of the first attribute number in the correspondence table and determines that the attribute number is "0".
By determining whether it is smaller than the attribute number, it is determined whether the attribute number end +j of the correspondence table has ended (step 1031).

If it is determined that the attribute number of the referenced entry is not smaller than "O", the attribute number corresponding means 103 determines whether or not the attribute number of the referenced entry matches the notified attribute number "2". (step 1032).

Attribute number of referenced entry and notified attribute number "2"
” do not match, the attribute number correspondence means 103 moves to the entry of the next attribute number in the correspondence table (step 1033).

The processing of steps 1031 to 1033 is repeated until the attribute number in the correspondence table and the notified attribute number match, and if it is determined in step 1032 that the attribute number in the correspondence table and the notified attribute number match. For example, one device number of an entry in the correspondence table with a matching attribute number is read out (step 1034). here,
Since the notified attribute number is “2”, 2 in the correspondence table
Device number “40” of the entry whose attribute number is “2”
is read out, and then the attribute number correspondence means 103 determines whether the device number of the entry whose second attribute number is "2" in the correspondence table has ended, depending on whether the read device number is smaller than "0" or not. It is determined whether or not (step 1035).

If it is determined that the read device number is not smaller than “0”, the information processing device (here, information processing device 40) indicated by the read device number (here, “40”) is sent to the control means 104. ) is issued (step 1036).

The control means 104 executes the disconnection command issued by the attribute number correspondence means 103 to the information processing device 40 via the communication processing device 300 .

The attribute number correspondence means 103 repeats the processing of steps 1034 to 1036 until it is determined that the device number in the read correspondence table is smaller than "0".
If it is determined that the device number of the correspondence table read in step 1035 is smaller than "0", that is,
The information processing devices 40, 50 and 6 are controlled by the control means 104.
The execution of the detachment command for 0 is completed, and the information processing device 40
．． 50 and 60 are disconnected from the central information processing device 100, the attribute number correspondence means 103 ends the process.

On the other hand, in the central information processing device 200, an import command is input from the operator console 205 to attribute number “2” to import it as a resource of the central information processing device 200.

The receiving means 202, which is waiting to receive a control command regarding the attribute number (step 1021), receives the input import command and the attribute number "2" and notifies the attribute number corresponding means 203 (step 1022).

The attribute number correspondence means 203, which has been notified of the import command and attribute number "2" from the reception means 202, refers to the entry of the first attribute number in the correspondence table and determines that the attribute number is "0".
By determining whether the entry of the attribute number in the correspondence table is completed (step 1031).

If it is determined that the attribute number of the referenced entry is not smaller than "0", the attribute number correspondence means 203 determines whether or not the attribute number of the referenced entry matches the notified attribute number "2". (step 1032).

Attribute number of referenced entry and notified attribute number "2"
” do not match, the attribute number correspondence means 203 moves to the entry of the next attribute number in the correspondence table (step 1033).

Steps 1031 to 1033 are repeated until the attribute number in the correspondence table matches the notified attribute number, and if it is determined in step 1032 that the attribute number in the correspondence table matches the notified attribute number. For example, one device number of an entry in the correspondence table with a matching attribute number is read out (step 1034). here,
Since the notified attribute number is “2”, 2 in the correspondence table
Device number “40” of the entry whose attribute number is “2”
is read out.

Next, the attribute number correspondence means 203 determines whether the device number of the entry with the second attribute number "2" in the correspondence table has ended, based on whether the read device number is smaller than "0". (Step 1035). If it is determined that the read device number is not smaller than "01,"
A control command (here, an import command) is issued to the control means 204 for the information processing device (here, the information processing device 40) indicated by the read device number (here, "40") (step 1036). .

The control means 204 executes the import command issued by the attribute number correspondence means 203 to the information processing device 40 via the communication processing device 300 .

The attribute number correspondence means 203 repeats the processing of steps 1034 to 1036 until it is determined that the device number in the read correspondence table is smaller than "0".
If it is determined that the device number of the correspondence table read in step 1035 is smaller than "0", that is,
When the control means 204 has finished executing the import command for the information processing devices 1!40, 50 and 60 and the information processing devices 40, 50 and 60 have been taken into the resources of the central information processing device 200, the attribute number correspondence means 203 ends the process.

Through the above processing, the information processing devices 40, 50 and 60, which were resources of the central information processing device 100, become resources of the central information processing device 200.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention adds an attribute number to each information processing device and associates a plurality of information processing devices with the attribute number of the control command. It becomes possible to control the acquisition and separation of a plurality of information processing apparatuses as resources of the own central information processing apparatus, prevent input of erroneous control commands, and achieve high-speed acquisition control and separation control.
