Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the working efficiency of an information processor by confirming automatically the identification data on an operator via an identification card and omitting the rise or fall process procedure in accordance with the confirmed identification data. CONSTITUTION:An operator leaves temporarily a control seat before a fall procedure is started after a rise procedure is through for input of an identification code. A CPU 31 can detect even such a state by making use of a fact that the state is changed into another state where the identification data DIDC cannot be read out of an identification card 14. Therefore the operator can carry on the process of information by using the data carried out before the operator leaves as the valid data without performing a rise procedure again when the operator returns. As a result, the working efficiency is improved for an information processor.

The device can be realized. C. Prior Art In conventional information processing devices such as computers, when an operator starts or ends a task of inputting and outputting information using the information processing device (this is called an information input/output task), the so-called rLOc; By performing the ONJ procedure (this is called the startup procedure) or the rLOGOFFJ procedure (this is called the shutdown procedure), the information processing device can maintain the confidentiality of the database and respond without malfunctioning the information processing operation. Such efforts have been made. D Problems to be solved by the invention However, in practice, if an operator sits in front of an information processing device and leaves his or her seat many times between the time he starts and finishes inputting and outputting information, the operator has to stand up each time. Since the setup procedure and shutdown procedure have to be repeated, this method requires quite complicated work in practical terms, and is still insufficient from the point of view of the operating efficiency of the information processing equipment. For this reason, databases stored in information processing equipment are usually ranked confidentially, and in order to be able to provide stored data of a predetermined rank only to a specific operator, the operator must actually enter an identification code. The startup procedure is such that the user enters the password assigned to him or her and a priority code representing the rank of available stored data using the keyboard. Furthermore, when the operator leaves his/her seat, he/she executes a shutdown procedure via the keyboard, thereby preserving the processed information so that it will not be lost. However, if an operator who wants to use the information processing equipment performs such startup and shutdown procedures in small increments, the startup process will be much shorter than the time spent actually doing effective information input/output work. And the time required to perform the shutdown procedure becomes long, resulting in the problem that the information processing equipment cannot be operated efficiently. The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and has made it possible to further improve the operating efficiency of information processing equipment by further reducing the effort required for the operator to start up and shut down procedures. This is an attempt to propose an information processing device. E Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention includes an information processing unit 3 that performs a predetermined information processing operation based on input information input from the information processing input means 34, and an information processing unit 3 that performs a predetermined information processing operation based on input information input from the information processing input means 34 The identification card 14 has unique identification information DIDC assigned to the operator, and the information processing section 3 automatically performs the identification based on the identification information DIDC read from the identification card 14. Executes raising and lowering operations. The F-action information processing unit 3 reads unique identification information D+oe assigned to the operator from the identification card 14 and automatically executes startup and shutdown operations, thereby allowing the operator to perform startup and shutdown procedures. Steps can be omitted,
Accordingly, the operating efficiency of the information processing device can be further improved.

G. Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. (G1) Overall configuration of information processing device In FIG. 1, 1 indicates the information processing device as a whole,
It has an identification card reading section 2 and an information processing section 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the identification card reading section 2 has, for example, 2.
A response request signal W1 using a microwave of 45 GHz as a carrier wave is generated in the response request signal generation circuit 12 of the identification data reader 11, and is emitted from the transmitting antenna 13 to the identification card 14, and is returned from the information card 14. The incoming response information signal W2 is taken into the response signal processing circuit 16 via the receiving antenna 15 of the identification data reading device 11. The identification card 14 includes a 1/2 wavelength die ball antenna 14B attached to a wiring board 14A so as to form part of a wiring pattern, and an information signal generation circuit having an integrated circuit (IC) configuration forming an information signal generation circuit. 14C and power battery 1
4D by the wiring pattern 14B, and by changing the impedance at the feeding point of the dipole antenna 14B according to the information signal generated in the information signal generation circuit 14C, the identification data reading device 11 emits the response request signal W1. The reflectance of the carrier wave is changed and the reflected wave is sent back as the response information signal W2.

The information signal generation circuit 14C has an electrical circuit configuration as shown in FIG. It is read out using the address signal S3 of the address counter 23 which performs a counting operation and is supplied to the variable impedance circuit 24 made of, for example, a field effect transistor.

The variable impedance circuit 24 has a pair of feed point terminals T1
and T2, and when the identification data S1 becomes logic "1" or logic "0", the field effect transistor turns on or off, and the feed point terminal T
Die ball antenna 14B connected to 1 and T2
The response request signal W incident on the dipole antenna 14B is variably controlled.
The reflectance relative to 1 is variably controlled.

An aS battery 14D is connected between the ground-side feed point terminal T1 and the power supply terminal T3 of the information signal generation circuit 14C, so that variable impedance control at the feed point of the dipole antenna 14B can be performed continuously at all times based on the identification data S1. It is done like this.

The thorough separation card 14 is distributed in advance to the operator who uses the information processing section 3, and as shown in FIG.
When the PTR is in possession of the identification card 14 and is seated at the operation seat C or HR of the information processing device 1, the identification data reading device 11
It is possible for the user to read identification data written in the identification card 14 in advance.

In the information memory 21, unique identification data DIDI: as shown in FIG. By reading the identification data D and DC from the code 14, the identification data reader 1 reads the identification information assigned to the operator.
1 through a contactless transmission method.

In this embodiment, the identification data DIIIC sequentially includes startup command data D1, database selection data D2,
The identification data reading device 11 is configured with person-in-charge identification code data D3 and user data D4, and the identification data reading device 11 transmits data corresponding to the oscillation frequency of the clock oscillation circuit 22, such that the identification data DIDC is always continuously transmitted from the identification card 14. When it is transmitted at a high speed, it is transferred to the bus 32 under the control of the central processing unit (CPtJ) 31 of the information processing section 3 (FIG. 1).
The data is taken into the input register 33 via the input register 33.

The CPU 3 1 executes information processing operations using built-in program data based on the identification data Dll,c taken into the input register 33 and input information input by the operator from the keyboard 34, and is stored in the database 35. After performing predetermined processing using the accumulated data, the processed data is stored in the processing data memory 36 and the history data memory 37 as necessary, and is output to the display 38, printer 39, and external storage device 41 as necessary. It is designed to be obtained. In this embodiment, the database 35 has a plurality of database sections DBI, DB2, etc. classified by type,
Each database unit DBI, DB2... has multiple types of rank data RN, for example, four types, depending on the confidential rank.
The CPU 3 1, which is classified into K1 to RNK4, determines the rank available to the operator who owns the identification card 14 based on the identification data D tec taken into the input register 33, and responds to the judgment result. Database 35 with only rank data RNK1 to RNK4
Regulations have been put in place so that it can be read from. Further, the processing data memory 36 is connected to the database 35 by inputting information from the keyboard 34 by the operator.
When a desired data processing operation is to be carried out using the accumulated data, the data in the middle of processing can be stored and held by attaching person-in-charge identification code data D3 (FIG. 5) as a holding identification code, In this embodiment, processing data IDCI~ processed by a plurality of operators, for example, three operators.
IDC3 can be stored individually.

In addition to this, in this embodiment, when each operator performs information processing work, history data HSTI representing the history,
HST2 and HST3 can be stored together with time data obtained from the timer 40 for each operator,
As a result, the results of the work performed by the operator using the information processing device 1 can be stored in the history data memory 37 over time.

(G2) First operator startup and shutdown processing In the above configuration, when the information processing device 1 starts operating, the CPU 3 1 executes processing according to the operator's input operation according to the information processing procedure shown in FIG. do.

That is, when the CPU 31 enters the information processing operation in step SPI, it determines whether or not there is a response regarding the identification card 14 from the identification data reading device 11 in step SP2. If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the operator OPTR is not seated at the operating seat CHR, and at this time, the CPU 31 enters a state of waiting for the operator OPTR to take a seat at the operating seat CHR. In this state, when the first operator OPTR takes a seat at the operating seat CHR, the identification data reading device 11 reads the identification data D+oc and inputs it into the input register 33, obtaining a positive result in step SP2, and the CPU 31 takes the step SP2. Of the identification data DII,c taken into the input register 33 at SP3, the person in charge identification code data D3 (FIG. 5) is the processing data IDCI to ID held in the processing data memory 36.
It is determined whether or not there will be a loss based on the person in charge identification code D3 attached to C3 (therefore, the pending identification code). If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the first operator is using the information processing device 1 for the first time. is input, and if a negative result is obtained, step SP
2-SP3-SP4-SP2 loop waits for the operator to input the password.

Eventually, the operator inputs a PIN code from the keyboard 34, and when the input PIN code matches the person in charge identification code data D3 written in the input register 33, this means that the operator has performed the start-up procedure. At this time, when a positive result is obtained in step SP4, the CPU 31 moves to step SP5 and controls the information processing section 3 as a whole to a start-up processing operation state, and then, in step SP6, the operator
When key human data is input from step 4, the process is executed. Subsequently, the CPU 31 determines in step SP7 whether or not the operator has inputted an operation end command from the keyboard 34, and when a negative result is obtained, determines in step SP8 whether or not there is no response from the identification card 14. .

If a negative result is obtained here, this means that the identification data reading device 11 continues to read the identification data D from the identification card l4.
．． l) This means that c continues to be taken into the input register 33, and at this time the CPU 31 returns to the above-mentioned step SP6, waits for the operator to input key manual data from the keyboard 34, and inputs the key manual data. Execute control such as processing.

Thus, once the first operator OPTR becomes the operator seat CHR
After the operator takes a seat, until the operator leaves the seat, the CPU 31 executes a loop of steps SP6-SP7-SP8-SP6 to update the database 35 in accordance with the command content of the key data each time the operator inputs key data from the keyboard 34. Executes predetermined information processing using the data of The processed data IDCI is attached and stored in the processed data memory 36 as the first processed data IDCI.

Here, the processing status of steps SP5 and SP6 is displayed on the display 38.

In this state, the first person currently seated in the operator seat CHH
When the operator OPTR inputs end command data indicating that the information processing work has ended from the keyboard 34,
The CPU 31 determines this by obtaining an affirmative result in step SP7, performs a shutdown process in step SP9, and then returns to the above-mentioned step SP2.

During the shutdown process in step SP9, the CPU 31
The first operator, who has been using the information processing device 1, sends the data representing the person identification code D3 of the OPTR and the category of processing work to the information processing device 1.
is stored in the abdominal history data memory 37 along with the time data from the time when use starts until the time when use is finished, and the processed data in the processed data memory 36 and the input register 33 are stored.
identification data])+Dc to the printer 39 as necessary.
Alternatively, processing such as clearing the data after outputting it to the external storage device 41 is executed.

Thus, the CPU 31 returns to the standby state and proceeds to step SP.
At step 2, a new response from the identification card 14 is awaited.

(G3) When the first operator leaves his seat, the first operator inputs information using the keyboard 34 through the loop of steps SP6-SP7-SP8-SP6, and in response to this, CPtJ3 1 When the first operator OPTR leaves the operating seat CHR while repeating the processing of key manual data, the identification data reading device 11 inputs the identification data DIDC to the input register 33.
It becomes impossible to import it into the computer.

At this time, the CPU 31 confirms that the first operator has left his/her seat during the work by obtaining a positive result in step SP8, and moves to step SPIO to execute a hold process. That is, the CPU 3 1 processes data memory 3
The processing data IDC1 stored in 6 is retained without being cleared, and the data indicating that the 8 operator left the seat based on the person identification I code data is stored in the history along with the time data. At the same time as writing to the data memory 37, the display on the display 38 is erased and the input register 33 is cleared.

After executing such a hold process, the CPIJ31 returns to step SP2 described above and enters a state in which it waits for a new operator OPTR to take a seat at the operating seat CHR.

In this state, when the same operator, that is, the first operator OPTR, returns to the operating seat CHR, the identification data reading device 11 reads the identification card 14, and the identification data DIDC is continuously read into the input register 33. .

At this time, the CPU 3 1 obtains a positive result in step SP2, and in step SP3 the CPU 3 1 obtains the identification data DID.
It is determined whether C matches the person-in-charge identification code data D3 of the processing data rDc1 held in the processing data memory 36.

In this case, since the first operator has returned to his seat, step SP
By obtaining a positive result in step 3, the CPU 31 moves to step SPII, executes a hold release process, and then jumps to start-up process step SP5 and proceeds to step SP6.
Move to.

Here, as a hold release process, the CPU 31 displays the processed data IDCI held in the processed data memory 36 on the display 38, and when the operator subsequently inputs key manual data from the keyboard 34, in response to this, the CPU 31 Control is performed so that processing of processing data IDCI can be continued.

Then, when the operator inputs key manual data on the keyboard 34, the CPU 31 immediately resumes the processing of steps S P 6 - S P 7 - S P 8 - S P 6 in response.

This allows the operator to temporarily switch to the control seat CHR.
If the operator returns to his/her seat after leaving his/her seat, the operator must perform the procedure for leaving the seat each time the operator leaves the seat, and enter the PIN code or Bribery code again using the keyboard 34 when the operator returns to the seat. Even without performing startup procedures, the information processing device 1 can immediately return to the response operation state as if the user had continued working without leaving his/her seat, and the burden on the operator can be further reduced. At the same time, the operating efficiency of the information processing device 1 can be improved.

(G4) If the second operator takes a seat while the first operator is away from the seat.Next, as described above, while the operator is away from the temporary operator seat CHR, the second operator takes a seat at the operator seat CHR. When using the information processing device 1 with
The information processing operation for the second operator is executed while maintaining the pending state for the second operator. That is, the processing data IDC for the first operator
While waiting for a response from a new identification card in step SP2 with I held in the processing data memory 36, the identification data reading device 11 reads the information from the identification card 14 regarding the second operator seated at the operator seat CHR. When the read identification data DIIIC starts to be input into the input register 33, the CPU 31 detects this and obtains a positive result in step SP2, thereby moving to step SP3. At this time, the CPU 31 inputs the identification data D Ill input into the input register 33.
It is confirmed that the person in charge identification code D3 of e does not match the person in charge identification code of the processing data IDCI held in the processing data memo IJ36 (at this time, only the person in charge identification code of the first operator is stored). After confirming, the process moves to step SP4 and the second operator presses the keyboard 34.
It will wait for you to enter your PIN code.

Since the second operator OPTR is using the information processing apparatus for the first time, he inputs the password assigned to him from the keyboard 34 as a start-up procedure.

At this time, the CPU 3 1 confirms this in step SP4, moves to step SP5, executes startup processing,
As a result, the information processing section 3 is brought into a state where the processing data when the second operator inputs key manual data from the keyboard 34 can be stored in the processing data memory 36 as the processing data IDC2 together with the person in charge identification code data.
control.

After that, CPU3 1 steps SP6-SP7-SP8
- Through the loop of SP6, processing is executed on the key manual data inputted from the keyboard 34 by the second operator. After that, when the second operator finishes the work and inputs a termination command from the keyboard 34, the CPU 31
This is confirmed in step SP7 and step SP
After performing the fall processing in step 9, the process returns to step SP2 described above.

(G5) When the first and second operators leave their seats and return to their seats alternately.If the second operator is seated while the first operator is away, the second operator When the user leaves the CHR, the CPU 31 enters a state in which the identification data DIDC cannot be read from the identification data reading device 1l, so that the CPU 31 executes the hold process in step 310 and then returns to the standby state in step SP2.

When the first operator who was temporarily away from his seat in this standby state returns to the operating seat CHR, the identification data reader 1
1 reads the identification data [)+nc from the identification card 14 and takes it into the input register 33, and the taken-in identification data I)toe becomes the personnel identification code data held in the processing data memory 36. , the CPU 3 1 executes step SP2-S.
After performing the hold release process according to the procedure of P3-SP11-SP6, the processing data DI! held in the process data memory 36 in the loop of steps SP6-SP7-SP8-SP6 is processed. Control is executed using Ic to continue information processing work.

In this way, even if the second operator uses the information processing device 1 after the first operator temporarily leaves his seat and before he returns, the information processing device 1 may be put on hold while the first operator is away. Information processing work can be continued using the processed data, and at the same time, other operators can use the same information processing device while the operator is away, thereby increasing the operating efficiency of the information processing device 1. be able to.

Further, as described above, after the first operator leaves the seat, the second operator starts work, and the CPU 3
If the second operator also leaves his/her seat while CPU 1 is processing the loop of steps SP6-SP7-SP8-SP6, the CPU 31 also executes the hold processing in step SPIO for the second operator.

As a result, the processed data memory 36 stores individual processed data IDC1 and IDC2 for the first and second operators.
is put on hold, and then when the first or second operator returns to his or her seat, the identification data reading device Wll automatically reads the identification card 14, and information processing is performed using the held data corresponding to the read identification data DIDC. Device 1
can continue to process information.

In this case as well, the operating efficiency of the information processing device 1 can be further improved in the same way as in the above case.

In this way, management of the information processing device 1 can be made even easier.

(G6) Effects of the Embodiment In this way, once the operator has performed the start-up procedure such as entering a PIN code, even if he temporarily leaves the operator seat CHR until the start-up procedure is performed, Taking advantage of this change to the state where it is no longer possible to read the identification data I)toe from the identification card 14, the CPU
3 By detecting step 1, when the operator returns to his/her seat, the data processed until the operator leaves his/her seat can continue to be used as valid data to continue processing information, even if the operator does not perform the start-up procedure again. This increases the operating efficiency of the information processing equipment as a whole. Hiding, operator start-up procedures, leaving, returning to work,
By making it possible to store shutdown procedures, etc. in the history data memory 37, the usage status of the information processing device 1 can be kept as history data. (G7) Other embodiments (]) In the above embodiments, , processing data memory 36
We have described the case where the memory capacity for three operators is prepared as processing data that can be held in the
The memory capacity is not limited to this, and may be changed as necessary.

(2) In the above-mentioned embodiment, it is detected that the operator is sitting, leaving, or returning to the operating seat CHR by reading the identification data written on the identification card owned by the operator using a non-contact transmission method. Although the identification card reading section 2 configured to Various configurations may be applied, such as reading the identification card when inserted into the identification card slot provided on the information processing section 3 side.
