Abstract

PURPOSE:To continue the process of information despite the increase of the response time by securing such a constitution where a TSS command executing program means changes the input time monitor timer value and also to restore the timer value set before the change. CONSTITUTION:In the case the response time may possibly exceed the input time monitor timer value against the promotion of input performed by a TSS command executing program means 11, a timer change instruction means 12 instructs the change of an input time monitor timer 16 of a terminal equipment in response to the request signal of the means 11. Thus a timer value changing means 13 changes the timer value to the new input time monitor timer value. At the same time, a timer restoration instruction means 14 instructs the restoration to the unique value of a system of the timer 16 in response to the request signal. Then a timer value restoration means 15 restores the unique input time monitor timer value of the system. Thus it is possible to continue the process of information with no end of an executing program even in the case the response time is increased.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a terminal device used in a time sharing system (hereinafter referred to as TSS) to develop software or conduct business using TSS commands from a terminal device. The present invention relates to a TSS information processing device that changes an input time monitoring timer value.

〔overview〕

The present invention provides a TSS information processing apparatus for changing the input time monitoring timer value of a terminal device in a TSS in which a conversation is performed between a user using a terminal device and a TSS command execution program means. By making it possible to freely change the input time monitoring timer value and restore it to the desired timer value in the system before the change, input is encouraged when thinking time is long or when performing distributed processing. , even if the response time becomes long, the execution program does not end and processing can continue.

[Conventional technology]

When a conversation is held between the TSS command execution program means and a TSS user using a terminal device at a remote location, the TS
The S command execution program means performs manual prompting on the terminal device. In the conventional technology, the time from when this input prompt is output until the TSS command execution program means receives a response thereto, that is, the input time monitoring timer value, is system-independent, and the TSS command execution program means is free. It is impossible to change to .

Further, the input time monitoring timer value is set arbitrarily by the system to be longer than the response time in normal conversation between the TSS command execution program means and the terminal device.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

The above-mentioned conventional manual time monitoring timer method for terminal devices is difficult to use when a TSS user who uses a terminal device to talk to the TSS command execution program means uses an editor that takes a long time to think, or when performing distributed processing. When the conversation is mainly with the terminal program and the conversation with the TSS command execution program means is small, the response time to the TSS command execution program means becomes long, and if the response time exceeds the system-arbitrary input time monitoring timer value, In this case, the TSS command execution program means is forcibly terminated. Therefore, there is a drawback that the conversation between an unused user who uses an editor or the like or an unused user who performs distributed processing and the TSS command execution program means may end unexpectedly.

The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks, and is intended to solve the problem when input prompting is performed when the thinking time becomes long or when performing distributed processing, and the response time of the TSS command execution program means becomes long. An object of the present invention is to provide a device that can continue processing without terminating an executing program.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides a TSS command execution program means that executes processing by time sharing while having a conversation with a terminal device via a communication line, and a TSS command execution program means that transmits a question to the terminal device and then responds from the terminal device. and an input time monitoring timer that monitors the time until the arrival of the TSS command, and terminates the TSS command execution program when the time exceeds a predetermined value, and the TSS command execution program means a timer change instructing means for instructing a new value of the input time monitoring timer in response to a request signal from the input time monitoring timer; and a timer value changing means for changing the timer value sent from the timer change instructing means to the predetermined new value. , timer restoration instruction means for instructing restoration to the predetermined value in response to a request signal from the TSS command execution program means; The present invention is characterized by comprising a timer value restoring means for restoring the timer value to the original value.

[Effect]

A TSS that performs input/output with terminal devices in remote locations.
When there is a possibility that the response time to the input prompt performed by the command execution program means exceeds the input time monitoring timer value, the timer change instruction means monitors the manual labor time of the terminal device in response to the request signal of the TSS command execution program means. The timer change instruction means changes the timer value instructed by the timer change instruction means to a new input time monitoring timer value. Further, the timer restoration instructing means instructs the input time monitoring timer of the terminal device to be restored to a system arbitrary value in response to a request signal from the TSS command execution program means, and the timer value restoring means is restored by the timer restoration instructing means. Upon instruction, the system restores the desired manual time monitoring timer value.

As a result, input is prompted when the thinking time is long or when performing distributed processing, and even if the response time of the TSS command execution program means becomes long, the processing can be performed without terminating the execution program. Can be continued.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a TSS information processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention includes a TSS command execution program means 11 that executes processing by time sharing while having a conversation with a terminal device 3 via a communication line 2, and a terminal device 3.
The timer means 10 monitors the time from when a question is sent to the terminal device 3 until the response arrives from the terminal device 3, and when the time exceeds a predetermined value, the TSS command execution program is terminated. The means 10 includes an input time monitoring timer 16 and an input time monitoring timer 16 in response to a request signal from the TSS command execution program means 11.
a timer change instructing means 12 for instructing a new value of the timer change instructing means 12; a timer value changing means 13 for changing the timer value sent from the timer change instructing means 12 to a predetermined new value;
timer restoration instruction means 14 for instructing restoration to a predetermined value in response to a request signal from command execution program means 11;
A timer value restoring means 15 is provided for restoring the timer value of the input time monitoring timer 16 to a predetermined value based on a restoring instruction from the timer restoring instructing means 14.

Next, a process in which the input time monitoring timer 16 of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above is changed will be explained.

The TSS command execution program means 11 requests the timer change instruction means 12 to change the human power time monitoring timer before outputting to the terminal device 1 a human power promotion that may require a long response time.

The timer change instruction means 12 receives an input time monitoring timer change request from the TSS command execution program means 11,
The receiver notifies the timer value changing means 13 of the timer value taken.

The timer value changing means 13 notifies the input time monitoring timer 16 of the timer value notified from the timer change instructing means 12. The input time monitoring timer 16 terminates the TSS command execution program means 11 that outputs the input prompt when the response time from the terminal device 1 to the manual prompt exceeds the timer value notified from the timer value changing means 13. .

The TSS command execution program means 11 issues an input time monitoring timer restoration request to the timer restoration instructing means 14 after receiving a response to the input prompt that may take a long response time.

The timer restoration instruction means 14 notifies the timer value restoration means 15 that the input time monitoring timer restoration request has been received from the TSS command execution program means 11.

The timer value restoring means 15 notifies the input time monitoring timer 16 of the system-defined input time monitoring timer value.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when performing input prompting that may result in a long response time, the TSS command execution program means can freely change the input time monitoring timer value, and the system before the change can By restoring the timer value to an arbitrary value, the execution program can be updated even if the thinking time becomes longer or the response time of the TSS command execution program means becomes longer due to manual acceleration when performing distributed processing.
