Abstract

PURPOSE:To heighten the burden of the operation of an operator by causing an information processing result to save to a second storing means when an information processing is completed in the absence of the operator, and automatically transferring the stored information processing result to a first storing means when the operator returns. CONSTITUTION:When the absence of the operator is detected by a second detecting means 400 and, simultaneously, the completion of the information processing is detected by a first detecting means 300, the information processing result is backup-stored into a non-volatile second storing means 500 by writing means. When the operator returns to an information processing unit 100, the information processing result is automatically fed back from a second storing means 400 to a first storing means 200 by the detecting signal of the presence of the operator of the second detecting means 400. Consequently, even when the operator leaves the information processing unit 100 in the middle of executing the information processing and the misoperation of a power source disconnection, etc., by a person except for the operator is executed, the information processing result is protected. Thus, the operator can be heightened its burdens of the operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an information processing device that performs information processing.

[Prior Art] In a conventional information processing device, the information processing results of the storage device are temporarily stored in the storage device, and then the recorded fQ information is visually outputted by a display device or a printing device in response to an output instruction from an operator. I try to do that. However, after the operator instructs the information processing apparatus to execute information processing, the operator often leaves the information processing apparatus to do other work while the information processing apparatus is executing the information processing.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] Generally, while an information processing device is executing information processing, information input from the input device is not accepted even if the operator is not near the information processing device. Even a person can determine that the information processing device is executing information processing. However, when the information processing device finishes information processing, the information processing device enters an input standby state, so anyone other than the operator can
It is not possible to determine whether the operator forgot to turn off the electronic image on the information processing device after completing the report, or whether the operator continues to use the information processing device.

As a result, if the operator is not near the information processing equipment, someone other than the operator may accidentally turn off the power to the information processing equipment, or manually perform the information processing from the human-powered equipment. Conventional information processing apparatuses have had the problem that processing results may be lost or changed.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to automatically store the processing results in the storage device after the information processing is completed, and automatically store the processing results in the auxiliary storage device, if the operator is no longer near the information processing device while the information processing is being executed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing device that can automatically store information in an auxiliary storage device by reducing the number of key operations by the operator by positioning the operator at a predetermined position of the information processing device after the data is transferred.

[0! Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve such an object, the present invention provides an information processing means for performing information processing, and a first means for storing the results of information processing.
a storage means, a first detection means for detecting completion of information processing, a second detection means for detecting the presence or absence of an operator at a predetermined operating position, and a non-volatile storage means for backing up the memory contents of the first storage means. of the information processing recorded in the first four means according to the logical product of the detection signal of the first detection means and the detection No. 13 indicating the absence of the operator of the second detection means. a first writing means that transfers the result to the second storage means and writes δ; and after the first writing means writes the result to the second recording means for information processing, it indicates that there is an operator of the second detection means. The apparatus is characterized by comprising second writing means for transferring and writing the results of information processing stored in the second storage means to the first storage means in response to reception of the detection signal.

[Function] According to the present invention, when the second detection means detects the presence of an operator and the first detection means detects the completion of information processing, the writing means stores the information processing results in the non-volatile second storage means. Backup and memorize.

Therefore, even if an operator leaves the information processing apparatus while information processing is being executed and a person other than the operator erroneously performs an operation such as disconnecting the TL source, the information processing results are protected.

Further, when the operator returns to the information processing device, the first item 1. The information processing results are automatically fed back to the Q means.
