JPH02311914A - Exchange system for japanese word message - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the change of an implement for exchange of Japanese word messages and the change of the Japanese word messages by using a general-purpose means which uses the Japanese words to perform the exchange of messages between a certain process unit and an operator and realizes an interface approximate to a natural language. CONSTITUTION:A message outputted fro ma process unit 11 is turned by a message conversion unit 12 into an easy-to-read form for an operator and outputted to a display device 13. Meanwhile a message inputted by the operator via an input device 14 is turned into a form that can be easily interpreted by the unit 11 from an easy-to-input or easy-to-understand form for the operator by the unit 12. These converted forms are automatically assigned to each subject process unit to send. Thus an implement for exchange of Japanese word messages and these messages can be easily changed. At the same time, the resources can be effectively utilized.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to the exchange of Japanese messages between an operator and a processing unit. There is something about the Japanese message exchange method that realizes the exchange.

(Prior art) In the past, messages from processing units were often in the form of English text or only in code (and were not necessarily easy for operators to understand. Also, conversely, messages sent from processing units to Many of the commands were in English, making them difficult for Japanese operators to remember.

For this reason, something with a Japanese interface has been proposed, but since it is built into the processing unit, it is not easy to change and lacks versatility.

Furthermore, since each processing unit is provided with a function for a Japanese interface, resources (dictionaries, Japanese processing routines, etc.) cannot be used effectively.

(Issue to be solved by the invention!! I) The present invention provides a general-purpose means for translating messages between a certain processing unit and an operator into Japanese, realizing an interface close to natural language, and - Its purpose is to facilitate the implementation of message exchange and change of Japanese messages, and to make effective use of resources.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention receives a message from a certain processing unit 11, converts it into an appropriate Japanese message, and displays it on a display. ! ! 13, and conversely, a means for receiving a Japanese message from an input device 2214, etc., converting it into a message that can be understood by a certain processing unit 11, automatically distributing it to that processing unit 11, and transmitting it. It is characterized by having a conversion unit) 12.

(Operation) A message output from the processing unit 11 is converted by the message conversion unit 12 into a form that is easy for the operator to read, and is output to the display device 13. Conversely, a message inputted by an operator from the human-powered device 114 is converted into a processing unit 11 according to a format that is easy for the operator to input or easy to understand, according to the message conversion unit 12.
is converted into a form that can be interpreted, and automatically allocated and sent to the target processing unit. Therefore, according to the invention:
It is possible to easily implement Shiraki SrI message exchange and change Japanese messages, and to utilize resources effectively.

(Embodiment) FIG. 2 shows the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is realized by a process on a computer. Here, the message from the processing process 21 is converted by the message conversion process 24 into an operator message such as "Process 1 has caused a memory access error at address oooo." The message will be converted into an easy-to-understand Japanese message.

Conversely, when the operator inputs simple Japanese such as "I want to see the contents of the directory" through the input device 26, the message conversion process 24 generates a message in a table format as shown in Figure 4, and the processing process 21 and performs the process of automatically allocating and transmitting the data.

Even if there are a plurality of such processing processes like 22.23 in FIG. 2, only one message conversion process 24 is required.

The message conversion process 24 determines where the message came from and displays data indicating the sender of the message. It can also be displayed on top of 25. Also, regarding the message from the operator, from the text,
Determines the destination process and automatically sends the message to that destination.

FIG. 5 shows the configuration of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied on a network. Here, the message conversion unit of the present invention is realized as a message conversion server 51 on the network.

When the operator sends a simple conversation message to this server 51 from the work scene 52,
This server 51 judges the content, converts it into an appropriate message to a server 53 on the network, and automatically sends it. If necessary, this converted message can be sent back to the display device of the work stage 1 52 used by the operator to act as a help function for input commands.

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, a message conversion unit is provided between a processing unit and an operator, and a message output from one side is automatically converted into a form that can be processed or easily understood by the other side. The data will be sorted and sent to that destination.

Therefore, regarding the processing unit, the processing can be simplified by combining the interface part for the operator into a message conversion unit, and even if there is a change in the interface part, there is no need to change the main body of the processing unit. It disappears.

Furthermore, by sharing this message conversion unit among a plurality of processing units, resources can be used effectively.

As for the operator, since the message conversion unit converts the message, there is no need to memorize message transmission methods or formats that are different for each processing unit, and message transmission becomes easy.

Additionally, the message conversion unit automatically assigns the destination of the message, so there is no need for the operator to be aware of the destination.
