Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a fault in advance and to shorten the maintenance time by executing a diagnosis of a hardware by a parallel processing in the course of executing a regular work. CONSTITUTION:Applications 31, 32 are register work use programs, respectively. A diagnostic program 2 is a program for executing a hardware diagnosis of a POS and executed in parallel to the applications 31, 32, and returns diagnostic data and executing information to an operating system 3. Subsequently, the operating system 3 allows a storage device to store the diagnostic data and the executing information. Also, by restarting the diagnostic program, based on the executing information by the operating system 3, the diagnosis is executed from a continuation of the previous time. In such a way, the regular processing and the diagnosis can be executed simultaneously.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 （産業上の利用分野） 本発明はＰＯＳシステムの改良に関し、特にその故障の
予防に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to improvements in POS systems, and particularly to prevention of failures thereof.

（従来の技術） 従来、この種のＰＯＳシステムは故障が発生した後に、
故障箇所を診断して保守を行なうように構成されていた
。(Prior art) Conventionally, in this type of POS system, after a failure occurs,
It was configured to diagnose failure points and perform maintenance.

（発明が解決しようとする課題） 上述した従来のＰＯ３７ステムは、故障が発生した後に
保守を行なうように構成されているので、故障が発生し
てユーザからクレームが上ってくるまで保守ができない
という欠点がある。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The conventional PO37 system described above is configured to be maintained after a failure occurs, so maintenance cannot be performed until a failure occurs and a user complains. There is a drawback.

本発明の目的は、通常業務の実行中に並列処理だよるハ
ードウェアの診断を実行することにより上記欠点を除去
し、通常処理と診断とを同時に実行することができるよ
うに構成したＰＯＳの故障事前予防システムを提供する
ことにある。An object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by executing hardware diagnosis using parallel processing while normal operations are being executed, and to solve the problem of a POS system configured to be able to execute normal processing and diagnosis at the same time. The goal is to provide a proactive prevention system.

（課題を解決するための手段） 本発明によるＰＯＳの故障事前予防システムは、記憶手
段と、実行手段とを具備して構成したものである。(Means for Solving the Problems) A POS failure prevention system according to the present invention includes a storage means and an execution means.

記憶手段は診断プログラム、診断データ、ならびに実行
情報を格納するためのものである。The storage means is for storing diagnostic programs, diagnostic data, and execution information.

実行手段は実行情報をアプリケーションと並行して実行
するためのオペレーティングシステムによるものである
。The execution means is provided by the operating system for executing the execution information in parallel with the application.

（実施例） 次に、本発明について図面を参照して説明する。(Example) Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

記憶させ、る。Applications 31 and 32 are register business programs. Diagnosis program 2 is a program that performs POS hardware diagnosis, and application 3
1.32 and returns diagnostic data and execution information to the operating system 3. The operating system 3 stores diagnostic data and execution information in a storage device.

さらに、オペレーティングシステム３により実行情報を
もとにして診断プログラムを再起動することにより、前
回の続きから診断を行なうことができる。Furthermore, by restarting the diagnostic program using the operating system 3 based on the execution information, it is possible to perform the diagnosis from where it left off last time.
