Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to remove a memory dump particular from a journal print at the time of outputting the journal print even when the memory dump particular is stored in the electronic journal by applying a control signal for selecting and controlling whether the memory dump particular is to be printed out or not to a gate means and selecting and controlling the presence of printing output of the memory dump item. CONSTITUTION:When data read out from an electronic journal 1 is a memory dump item a memory dump data deciding part 3 outputs '1' and a NAND gate 5 outputs '0', so that an AND gate 6 is turned off, a journal printing part 4 does not print out the data read out from the journal 1 and prints out only operation history. In case of printing out data including the memory dump particular, the NAND gate 5 always outputs '1' by applying '0' to the AND gate 6 even when the deciding part 3 outputs '1', so that the printing part 4 prints out the contents stored in the journal 1 including the memory dump particular (DMP).

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an electronic journal printing control system, and in particular, it is possible to store memory dump items in an electronic journal when a failure occurs, and selectively control whether or not to output the memory dump items when printing out the stored contents of the electronic journal. This is how it was done.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in a printing device of an issuing machine that issues passbooks or certificates used by bank employees, it is common for the printing device to print a history of the operation on roll paper or the like every time the printing device operates. This history is called a journal, and recently, instead of printing it on Whirlpaper, the history is written on a floppy disk, and when needed at a later date, the contents are read from the floppy disk and printed out. In this case, the floppy disk is called an electronic journal, and by making it an electronic journal, there are advantages such as shortening processing time and saving the effort of exchanging roll paper.

Incidentally, the contents to be written in the electronic journal include not only the contents of normal transactions, but also the contents of memory data, that is, memory dump items when a failure occurs, which is often effective in later investigation of the failure.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, it takes a very long time to print out all the memory dump items. Memory dump items are meaningful to those investigating failures, but they are unnecessary for bank employees who use the equipment, so it takes a long time for those using the equipment to print electronic journal data that includes memory dump items. must be spent. Therefore, in reality, writing memory dump items into electronic journal data is meaningless and has not been done.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to store memory dump items in an electronic journal and to record the operation history including the memory dump items when printing out the contents of the electronic journal. To provide an electronic journal print control method that allows selection of output or output of operation history excluding memory dump items.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a memory dump data determining unit that determines whether the data read from the electronic journal 1 by the journal data reading control unit 2 is a memory dump item, as shown in FIG. 1(A). 3 will be provided. Then, as a gate control signal for the NAND gate 5, "1" is applied when printing the contents of the electronic journal 1 excluding the memory dump items, and "0" is applied when printing including the memory dump items. do.

[Effect]

Therefore, in a normal case, a control signal "1" is applied to the NAND gate 5 so that only the operation history of the device is printed out. If the data read from the electronic journal 1 is a memory dump item, the memory dump data determination unit 3
1" and the NAND gate 5 outputs "0", so the AND gate 6 is turned off and the journal printing section 4
does not print successive data from e-journal 1, and
As shown in Figure (C), only the operation history is printed.

However, when printing including memory dump information, rOJ
is applied to the AND gate 6, the NAND gate 5 always outputs "1" even if the memory dump data discrimination section 3 outputs "1". ), the contents of the electronic journal 1, including the memory dump matter (DMP), are printed out.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2 to 4.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, (A) is a schematic diagram of a publishing machine in which the present invention is used, (B) is a block diagram of an electronic journal printing control system of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of the data format of data stored in the electronic journal, and is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the same symbols as on the map indicate the same parts.

C is the passbook/certificate issuing machine control unit, which includes most of the configuration shown in Figure 2 (B), D is the display unit such as a liquid crystal, and K
is a keyboard, P is a passbook printer, H is a storage unit for storing newly issued passbooks and certificates, 7 is a journal data writing control unit, 8 is a failure detection unit, 9 is a transaction journal data creation unit, IO is a memory The dump data creation section 11 is a data switching section.

In the electronic journal 1, normal transaction data such as bankbook issuance, certificate issuance, bookkeeping, etc., and error data in the case of device abnormality are entered. The format of normal transaction data is as shown in Figure 3 (A): error identification area AO indicates whether the data is error data or normal transaction data; transaction serial number area A1 indicates the transaction number; and whether the transaction is a passbook transaction or not. It consists of a transaction content area A2 that shows the transaction content such as issuing a certificate or bookkeeping, an account number area A3 that shows the account number, etc. The entire area has a fixed length of, for example, 256 bytes, so the remaining area A4 is filled with all "0". It is. In the case of normal transaction data, "0" is written in the error identification area AO.

The data format at the time of error is as shown in Figure 3 (B), error identification area Ao, device abnormality and power on/off.
Heading area a1 indicating off, data N indicating line break
It consists of a line feed instruction area a2 in which L is written, a memory dump area 3 in which memory dump data, which is the data in the memory at the time of error occurrence, is written, and "1" is written in the error identification area AO. Indicates that this is data at the time of an error.

The journal data reading control unit 2 performs control for reading data written in the electronic journal l.

The memory dump data discrimination section 3 checks the error identification area Ao of the data sequentially read from the electronic journal 1 by the journal data reading control section 2, and discriminates whether the read data is normal transaction data or error data. When the data is an error, rlJ is output, and when the data is a normal transaction, "0" is output.

The journal printing section 4 is a printing section 4- that performs journal printing.
1, and a journal data printing control section 4-2 that controls this printing section 4-1.

The journal data writing control section 7 writes data in the data format shown in FIG. 3(A) or (B) into the electronic journal 1.

The failure detection unit 8 detects the occurrence of a failure in the device, and when detecting the occurrence of a failure, outputs, for example, “1” to control the memory dump data creation unit 10 and the data switching unit 11.

The transaction journal data creation section 9 creates normal transaction data as shown in FIG. 3(A).

The memory dump data creation unit IO creates error data as shown in FIG. 3(B) in response to a control signal from the failure detection unit 8 when a failure occurs.

The data switching unit 11 is a changeover switch and is normally connected to the transaction journal data creation unit 9, and outputs the normal transaction data created by the transaction journal data creation unit 9 to the journal data writing control unit 7, but if Occurrence detection section 8
When a control signal "1" indicating the detection of a failure is transmitted from the memory dump data generating section 10, a switching operation is performed so as to send the error data created by the memory dump data creating section 10 to the journal data writing control section 7.

An outline of the issuing machine in which the present invention is used will be explained with reference to FIG. 2(A).

For example, when conducting a transaction such as issuing a passbook, a bank employee inputs necessary information using a keyboard. The passbook/certificate issuing machine control unit C creates transmission data to the host based on the input items and notifies the host. When the permission signal is transmitted from the host, the passbook/certificate issuing machine control unit C takes out the unused passbook held by the storage unit H and prints the necessary information using the passbook printer P. At this time, the transaction journal data creation unit 9 provided in the passbook/certificate issuing machine control unit C creates normal transaction data as shown in FIG. 3(A),
This is entered in the electronic journal 1. By the way, if a problem such as a soft error occurs during a transaction, it will be displayed on the display.

The bank employee sees this error message, turns off the issuing machine's power switch, and then turns it on again. Soft errors, which account for the majority of errors, can be returned to normal by turning the power back on.
The issuance process will continue again. By the way, when this fault occurs, the output from the fault detection section 8 becomes "1", which causes the memory dump data creation section 10 to create data at the time of the error, and send the journal data via the data switching section 11. The write control unit 7 writes this to the electronic journal 1
write to.

Next, the output of journal data written in the electronic journal 1 will be explained according to the flowchart of FIG.

Normally, the changeover switch S connected to the NAND gate 5 in FIG. 2(B) is connected to the contact S1 on the "1" input side so as not to print out the memory dump information in the event of an error.

(11) Now, in order to print out the journal contents of the electronic journal 1, when the operator operates a journal output key (not shown), the journal data reading control section 2 reads data for one process from the electronic journal 1.

(2) The memory dump data determining unit 3 determines whether this is error data, that is, failure data, and if it is normal transaction data, it outputs rOJ, and the NAND gate 5 outputs "1". Journal data for one process is transmitted to the journal data print control section 4-2 via the AND gate 6, and printed out by the printing section 4-1.

(3) If the data is faulty data, the memory dump data determining unit 3 outputs "1" and the NAND gate 5 outputs "0". However, since this output of "1" is output at the timing after the heading part of the data at the time of error passes through the AND gate 6, only this heading part is printed out in the journal.

(4) By the way, if the changeover switch S is connected to the "0" input side contact S2 and the memory contents stored in the electronic journal 1, that is, the memory dump items are in the output state, the NAND gate 5 is always "1". Since the AND gate 6 is on, the memory dump data discriminator 3
Even if the error data is detected and rlJ is output, the memory dump information is also printed out from the printing unit 4-1.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 1 (B), when investigating the normal status of the device, connect the changeover switch S to the "0" input side contact S2, and use the normal operation as shown in Fig. 1 (C). In the case of journal output, it is sufficient to connect it to the "1" input side contact S1.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is possible to select the presence or absence of memory dump items in the journal print content, so even if memory dump items are stored in the electronic journal, they can be removed and output when printing the journal, so the bank This means that it will take a long time to output the necessary data, and it can only be output during a survey.
