Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the control performance of the update information on the terminal software by providing a terminal software update information data base which controls the update information on the terminal software. CONSTITUTION:The software necessary for processing information is previously registered to a terminal software register library 3 from an external medium 1 via a host machine 2. Then the terminal software registered in the library 3 from an end user terminal 5 can be received in an optional timing. The contents of the terminal software are controlled via a terminal software update information data base 6 and maintained via an operator terminal 4. At the same time, the terminal software registered in the library 3 is forcibly allocated to the terminal 5 with an instruction given from the terminal 4. Thus the terminal software is updated and at the same time the base 6 is also updated. Furthermore each terminal information data base 7 can be maintained via the terminal 4. As a result, the control performance is improved for the update information on the terminal software.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a terminal information management system, and particularly relates to centrally managing terminal software consisting of programs and data used in a terminal on a host machine. [Prior Art] Conventionally, when replacing terminal software when managing information on a terminal, an operator copies the required number of flexible disks, and the end user installs the software library in accordance with the procedures created by the FDP department. was being updated. In addition, in some cases, information about each terminal (installation location, person in charge, etc.) and whether or not the end user actually updated the terminal software were not managed. [Problems to be solved by the invention] The conventional management and replacement methods described above are inefficient and require a large amount of time because they are all done manually, making it difficult to respond quickly in emergencies. The drawback is that the management of software update information is insufficient. [Means for Solving the Problems] The terminal information management system of the present invention includes a terminal software registration library in which terminal software is registered, at least one end user terminal connected to a host machine, and information on the end user terminal. The system consists of an operator terminal for maintaining the terminal, a terminal software update information database for managing terminal software update information, and a terminal information database for managing information on each end user terminal. [Example] Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. First, an overview of the present invention will be described. In managing terminal software, the terminal information management system of the present invention centrally manages all software on a host machine, and allows the terminal user to receive software update information from the host machine at any time, allowing the host to manage software update information. This is a system in which the host manages the information (installation location, person in charge, etc.) of each terminal by forcibly distributing information from the host to the terminal as necessary. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. It is a block diagram showing an elliptical precept.

In Figure 1, 1 is an external medium in which a terminal program is registered, 2 is a host machine that operates individual processes, and 3 is a host machine that operates individual processes.
4 is a terminal software registration library that registers and manages terminal programs, and 4 is an operator terminal that maintains update information for terminal software and information for each terminal. 5 is an end user terminal that is subject to software updates and terminal information management. 6 is a terminal software update information database that manages update information of terminal software, and 7 is a terminal information database that manages information on each terminal.

In this embodiment, software necessary for information processing is registered in advance from an external medium 1 to a terminal software registration library 3 via a host machine 2. It is possible to receive the terminal software registered in the terminal software registration library 3 from the end user terminal 5 at any time, manage the contents in the terminal software update information database 6, and perform maintenance from the operator terminal 4. I do. In addition, according to instructions from the operator terminal 4, if necessary,
The terminal software registered in the terminal software registration library 3 is forcibly distributed to the end user terminal 5, and the terminal software is updated. At the same time, the terminal software update information database 6 is also updated. Furthermore, each terminal information (installation location, person in charge, etc.) database 7 can be maintained from the operator terminal 4.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention enables centralized management on the host machine by registering software from an external medium (flexible disk, hard disk) to the host machine, and allows a terminal user to receive data from the host machine at any time. This allows you to quickly obtain software over the line, and by managing software update information on the host machine, you can centralize software management information and force distribution from the host machine to terminals, so you can save time in an emergency in a short time. Since the software can be replaced with the host machine and the information on each terminal (installation location, person in charge, etc.) is managed on the host machine, each terminal can be maintained from the host machine.
