JPH04118738A - Automatic updating control system for on-line screen - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To curtail the terminal operation and to obtain the data of high quality by always displaying the latest data even if an operator does not execute consciously the operation at the time of offering the data to the operator. CONSTITUTION:This on-line screen updating control system is provided with a screen updating control part 2, a timer control part 4 and a timer time setting file 5 on a terminal connected to a host computer by on-line. In such a state, the screen updating control part 2 actuated at the time of an operator executes the operation makes a screen display by an initial actuation, and simultaneously, by the timer control part 4, a timer time registered in a timer time is read, and at every timer time thereof, an automatic actuation of screen updating control is executed by the timer control part 4, and also, by an interruption control part 6 in the course of monitoring a timer, the migration to a different screen can be executed at any time. In such a way, the human operation is curtailed and the data display of a real time can be executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an online screen update control method, and more particularly to an automatic online screen update control method using timer control.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the screen update control method online, especially in a data entry terminal, is a method in which screen update control is started by human operation from an input device such as a keyboard.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional online screen update control method described above, the screen is updated only when the operator performs an operation while being aware of the data (information) that is updated from time to time on the host computer side, so the data (information) is updated in real time.
The disadvantage is that it is not displayed.

[Means to solve the problem]

The online screen automatic update control method of the present invention includes a display device that displays screen data, a timer time file that registers the timer time that performs timer control, and a timer control that reads the timer time interval of the timer time file and sets the timer. , a screen update control section that performs screen update control at each timer time in conjunction with timer control, and an interrupt control section that performs an interrupt during timer monitoring.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
The figure shows the screen update flow of this embodiment.

In FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention includes a display device 1 that displays screen data, a timer time file 5 that registers timer time, and a timer control unit that reads the timer time interval of the timer time file and sets the timer. 4, a screen update control section 2 that performs screen update control at each timer time in conjunction with timer control, and an interrupt control section 6 that performs an interrupt during timer monitoring.

The display device 1 is connected to the screen update control section 2 and displays an automatically updated screen by the screen update control section 2 and an interrupt control during timer monitoring. The screen update control section 2 is connected to a timer control section 4 via a path 3, and is also connected to an interrupt control section 6. The timer control section 4 is connected to a timer time file 5 in which timer times are registered. The interrupt control section 6 is connected to the timer control section 4 via a path 7.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the display device 1 displays screens A to A#.
An example of displaying screen B to screen B' will be explained below. First, when an initial search is performed by the operator, screen A is received from the host computer and displayed on the display device 1, and at the same time, timer control by the timer control section 4 is started.

At this time, the timer control unit 4 controls the timer time file 5.
Read the timer time and set the timer. The timer control unit 4 performs timer monitoring control at time intervals set by the timer, and issues a screen update control request to the screen update control unit 2 at each timer time. Upon receiving the request, the screen update control section 2 obtains screen A' from the host computer through screen update control. Similarly, after the next timer time interval, screen A" is obtained. Also, when an operation is performed by the operator during timer monitoring control, control is passed from the timer control section 4 to the interrupt control section 6, and a request for the operation is made. The screen update control section 2 displays screen B on the display device 1 in the same way as the screen display by the initial search, and at the same time the timer control section 4 shifts to the timer control.
The online screen will be automatically updated after ''.

As described above, one embodiment of the present invention is an online screen update control method in which a screen update control section, a timer control section, and a timer time setting file are created on a terminal connected online to a host computer. At the same time, the screen update control that is started at the time of initial startup displays the screen, and at the same time, the timer control unit reads the timer time registered in the timer time, and the timer control unit automatically controls the screen update control for each timer time. This provides an automatic screen update control system that allows the screen to be activated and to transition to another screen at any time by interrupt control during timer monitoring.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention can always display the latest data (information) without the operator having to consciously perform operations when providing data (information) to the operator, thereby reducing terminal operations. This has the effect of providing high-quality data (information).
