Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an apparatus that automatically calculates a system area by simply selecting the software to be registered when newly registering software in a computer.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when registering new software on a computer, the amount of space occupied by the software is limited to (1) the setup card attached to the software, (2) the sales manual, and (3) the software for each OS. Calculations are made based on the data published in the attached manual. For this reason, when a software registration task occurs, the person performing the registration always uses one of the materials and manually calculates the capacity of the system area each time.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional method described above, all the data that serves as the basis for calculation comes from these materials, and each time the software is registered, the person doing the registration has to take the trouble of researching the materials. Therefore, the company must bear the labor of performing calculations by hand. Furthermore, if the generations of the software to be registered are not aligned, it is necessary to prepare materials corresponding to each software, which may further increase the number of steps depending on the configuration of the registered software.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to create a table of the load module of each software and the capacity of the accompanying files for each computer, so that the system area can be automatically allocated by simply specifying the registered software. An object of the present invention is to provide a system area calculation device capable of calculating the capacity of a system.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a system area calculation device that calculates the system area capacity of software when registering the software in one or more computers, the system area calculation device specifying the software to be registered. an input means, a table for storing data related to software for each computer in advance, a search means for searching the table for data related to the specified software to be registered, and the software to be registered based on the searched data. The computer includes calculation means for calculating the capacity of the system area of the computer, and output means for displaying and printing the calculation results.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a registered software input section 1, a software table search section 2, a system capacity calculation section 4, a display device 5, and a printer 6 are connected, and includes a software table 3. .

The registered software input section 1 uses a keyboard as an input source and takes in data of software to be registered inputted by an operator. The software table search unit 2 uses the data input by the registered software input unit 1 to search the software table 3 for corresponding data. The system capacity calculation unit 4 calculates the capacity of the system area from the required capacity of each software load module and associated files searched by the software search unit 2. Then, the display device 5 displays data regarding the capacity of the load module and the capacity of the accompanying file calculated by the system capacity calculation unit 4. Further, the printer 6 prints data regarding the capacity of the load module and the capacity of the accompanying file calculated by the system capacity calculation unit 4. Furthermore, the software table 3 is a table in which each software for each computer is registered, and is stored separately by computer name, software name, required load module capacity, and required capacity of accompanying files.

Next, the operation of the system area calculation device of this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the software table 3 in FIG. 1.

First, from the registered software input section 1, the computer to which software is to be registered and the software to be registered are specified. Here, as an example, the computer is “A”, the software is “SOFT01”, “SOF
T03” and “SOFT04”.The software table search unit 2 specifies the computer “A” and the software “SOFT” input from the registered software input unit 1.
The software table is searched based on the data "01", "SOFT03", and "SOFT04", and the load module capacity and accompanying file capacity of the corresponding software are imported.Then, the system capacity calculation unit 4
adds the data retrieved by the software table search unit 2 for each load module capacity and accompanying file capacity.

Here, "SOFT" of computer "A"
The load module capacity required for 01” is 1,0
00, “SOFT03” is 3,000, “SOFT04”
” is 2,500, so computer “A” has “S”
The capacity of the load module required when registering “OFT01”, “SOFT03”, and “SOFT04” is as follows.
1,000+3,000+2,500=6,500.

[0013] Also, "SOFT0" of computer "A"
1” requires an accompanying file size of 100, “
SOFT03" is 280 and "SOFT04" is 250, so "SOFT01", "
When registering "SOFT03" and "SOFT04", the size of the accompanying files required is 100+280+
250=630.

The data searched and calculated through the above processing is displayed on the display device 5. Further, the data searched and calculated by the above-described processing is also printed by the printer 6.

In the above description of the operation, the computer “
The explanation has been given using the case of "A" as an example, but similarly, if the software to be registered on computer "B" is, for example, "SOF
T011" and "SOFT014", the load module capacity is 14,500 and the accompanying file capacity is 2.
, 200 are output to the display device 5 and printer 6.

[0016]

As explained above, the present invention uses a keyboard as an input source and simply specifies the computer for registering software and the software to be registered, and the capacity of the required load module can be determined from the software table.
Since the capacity of the accompanying file can be obtained, there is no need to investigate materials or calculate the file capacity, resulting in a significant reduction in man-hours.
