Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the collection distribution time by making a collection distribution schedule while taking the line constitution into account. CONSTITUTION:A terminal equipment name, a processing speed, a line name, a line speed, a name of a communication processing section and a processing speed are stored in a line constitution file 140, a data collection distribution schedule processing section 130 generates a collection distribution schedule based on the file to implement the scheduling till the end of management and distribution of the distribution schedule. That is, The line constitution is read from the file 140 to decide the priority for each terminal equipment based on the constitution and the processing speed. The data distribution schedule matrix is generated by taking a priority order and a data item number into account. Then the wiring schedule is arranged in the order of lines having many data items and when the data item number for each line is the same, the line with low priority is processed early by the algorithm. Thus, the communication processing means and the processing neck of the line are relaxed to reduce the collection distribution time of the entire system.

Communication processing means 120 that communicates with the data collection and distribution processing section 110 and the terminal devices 150 to 157
and 121 , a data collection and distribution schedule processing unit 130 that determines a schedule for data collection and distribution, and a line configuration file 140 that stores line configurations.

As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes a plurality of communication processing means 120 and 121 connected to a line to which a terminal device is connected, and a data collection distribution system that creates a schedule related to data collection distribution. Schedule processing unit 130 and this data collection distribution schedule processing unit 1
and a data collection and distribution processing section 110 that collects and distributes data to and from the terminal devices via the communication processing means 120 and 121 according to the schedule determined in step 30. , a line configuration file that stores data including the processing speed of this terminal device, the transmission speed of the line to which this terminal device is connected, and the processing speed of the communication processing means connected to this line, corresponding to the terminal device name. 140 , and the data collection distribution schedule processing unit 130 uses this line configuration file 14
Determine the priority order for each terminal device based on the contents of 0,
This configuration creates a schedule that includes this priority order.

Next, the operation of distributing data from the host computer device 100 to the plurality of terminal devices 150 to 157 will be explained.

[Table 1]

[Table 2]

The line configuration file 140 stores the terminal name, terminal processing speed, line name, line speed, communication processing unit name, and communication processing unit processing speed. Table 1 shows the contents of the line configuration file 140.

Data collection distribution schedule processing unit 130
reads the contents from the line configuration file 140, creates a data collection and distribution schedule, manages the distribution schedule, and performs scheduling until the completion of distribution. The method for managing this scheduling is shown below. The line configuration is read from the line configuration file 140, and the priority order for each terminal is determined based on the configuration and processing speed. In this embodiment, priorities are determined on a line-by-line basis. Here, the number of data items for each terminal is further determined, and a list shown in Table 2 is created along with the priority order.

[Table 3]

[Table 4]

[0015] From the list in Table 2, a data distribution schedule matrix shown in Table 3 is created by considering the priority order and the number of data items. That is, the priority order taken into consideration from the total number of data items per line and the line configuration is as follows. Scheduling is performed in order of the number of data items for each line, and here, the number of data items for terminals 153 and 154 and the number of terminals 155 and 1
56 and 157, the lines of terminals 155, 156, and 157, which are low priority lines, are scheduled first, followed by terminals 153 and 1.
54 line, and the lines for terminals 150, 151, and 152 are scheduled in this order.

[0016] In this embodiment, the distribution schedule is created in order of the lines having the largest number of data items, and when the number of data items for each line is the same, the algorithm is such that the line with the lower priority number is processed first. In the data breach schedule matrix shown in Table 3, the distribution schedule is
, terminal 153 , terminal 150 , terminal 156 , terminal 154 , terminal 151 , terminal 157 , terminal 152
are determined in this order. To explain the flow of the distribution schedule when the number of simultaneously operating terminals is three due to the processing capacity of the data collection and distribution processing unit 110, as shown in FIG. It will be done. Here, when the distribution completion notification is received from the terminal 153, the status of the schedule matrix of the terminal 153 is set to "9" (completed) as shown in Table 4.
Distribution is performed for the terminal 156, which is the next distribution schedule terminal. In this way, when a distribution completion notification is received from one terminal, distribution to the next terminal is started, thereby making it possible to complete distribution to all terminals.

In this embodiment, only distribution has been described, but even in the case of collection or when distribution and reception are mixed, collection and distribution can be performed by performing scheduling management using a schedule matrix.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention can alleviate processing bottlenecks in communication processing means and lines by creating collection and distribution schedules in consideration of the line configuration.
This has the effect of allowing collection and distribution of the entire system to be completed in a short time.
