Abstract

PURPOSE:To speed up turnaround to the display means of a retrieval device and increase its efficiency and to output data to an optional output means by dividing the functions of a screen display control means and a printing means and providing another means with a document output function. CONSTITUTION:Retrieval data which is inputted is sent to the main control means 6 of a document output control unit 5 and stored in an input means 7 and data on the generation source is sent to a subcontrol means 9. The subcontrol means 9 analyzes the information and the display control means 11 reads data out of a data base input/output device 15 and stores an output data storage means 8 with only information satisfying retrieval conditions together with additional information on a display destination. The printing means 12 reads data out of the data base input/output device 15 and stores the output data storage means 8 with only the information satisfying the retrieval conditions together with additional information on an output destination. Consequently, the response time of screen output is shortened, the number of processes is increased, and an operator can freely output a document to any output means.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an online ledger output control system, and particularly to an online ledger output control method that realizes screen display of a search device and ledger output in the same device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when a search device is used to display the screen and output the ledger in an online transaction processing system, the same means is used to control the ledger output, and the means that matches the conditions is read out from the database. The method used was to confirm that the process was completed and then output it all at once to the output means. In addition, since the information on the output destination was held in the means, the means had to be modified when changing or adding an output destination.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional method described above, when controlling report output, the output information is managed within the program, and if you try to change the output destination, it requires man-hours to modify the program, and the display Since the control means and the printing means were performed by the same means, the amount of data displayed on the screen is usually not small, but the amount of data printed out is large, or in that case, the processing of the printing means is completed. There is a drawback that the input from the input means of the search device is awaited until the event, and the search input for that event cannot be made.

This method requires a long response time and limits the number of processes that can be performed by the search device. The purpose of the present invention is to separate the functions of the screen display control means and the printing means, and separate the function of outputting the ledger, thereby speeding up the turnaround of the search device to the display means and increasing efficiency. An object of the present invention is to provide an online ledger output control method that can output to any output means.

[Means to solve the problem]

The online ledger output control method of the present invention includes an input means for inputting search data on the search device side, an input means for inputting search data on the ledger output side, edits and stores the search data in the input data storage means, and outputs the output from the printing means. a main control means that inputs output data from the data storage means, transfers it to the search device side, and exchanges information with the sub-control means;
a sub-control means for exchanging information with the main control means, activating the display control means based on the information, and notifying and activating the printing means based on the information from the display control means; Input data from the stored input data storage means, analyze the data, input data from the output management means, check the output destination, edit display data input from the database input/output device, and input the data to the output data storage means. display control means for storing and notifying activation information of the printing means to the sub-control means, storing it in the takeover storage means for each terminal, and registering the output destination and activation information in the history management means;
A printing means that inputs information from a database input/output device using information inputted from a takeover storage means that is started from a subcontrol means and has in each terminal, edits the information, and stores it in an output data storage means, and this processing procedure It has a display means and an output means on the side of the search device that outputs data.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of an online ledger output control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, search data is input through input means 3 of a search device 1 provided as a search terminal. It is assumed that the input search data consists of search items including output destination and whether or not to output a ledger.

The input search data is transmitted to the main control means 6 of the ledger output control device 5 via the communication control device 16 and the communication control means 17.

As a result, the main control means 6 stores the input search data in the input storage means 7 and sends the source to the sub-control means 9. The sub-control means 9 analyzes the information, activates the corresponding display control means 11, and sends out the analyzed information.

The activated display control means 11 reads the input data from the input data storage means 7 and uses the output destination information as a key to check the output management means 14 to check whether input information of the output destination exists or not. If the output destination does not exist, it is determined as an error and the error information is stored in the output data storage means 8 with information on the display destination added.

If there is no error, the keys and conditions are analyzed from the input data, the data is read from the database input/output device 15, and only the information that satisfies the search conditions is stored in the output data storage means 8 with display destination information added thereto. Moreover, if an item for the ledger output is input from the input data, it is stored in the takeover storage means 10, and startup information is stored in the history management means 13 (at this time, the printing means is in an unprocessed state), and the sub-control means 9 of the activation of the printing means 12 and the completion of the display control means 11. The sub-control means 9 notifies the main control means 6 of the completion of the display control means 11, and also activates the printing means 12 to send out the source information.

The main control means 6 reads out the output data stored from the display control means 11 from the output data storage means 8 asynchronously with the printing means 12 and sends it to the display means 2 of the search device 1. Further, the printing means 12 activated by the sub-control means 9 reads out the takeover storage means 10, analyzes the keys and conditions, reads data from the database input/output device 15, and outputs only information that satisfies the search conditions to the data storage means 8.
Add output destination information to and store it. At that time, the history management means 13 is updated that the printing means 12 has been successfully completed (this printing means is in a processed state), and the sub-control means 9 is notified of completion. The sub-control means 9 notifies the main control means 6 of the completion of the printing means 12. The main control means 6 reads out the output information stored from the printing means 12 from the output data storage means 8 and sends it to the output means 4 of the search device 1.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention shortens the response time of screen output by separating the processing of screen display and report output, increases the number of items processed, and allows the operator to freely output the report to any output means. By registering in advance an output means capable of outputting a ledger in the output management means, there is an advantage that modification of the program is not required when making additions or changes.
