CONSTITUTION:An edition request control table part 2 has a terminal equipment table 7 and an edition requesting table 8. An edition request scheduling part 3 updates the terminal equipment table 7 and edition requesting table 8 every time one edition request is received from one of input terminal equipments 1-1, 1-2... 1-n, and edition requests are taken out in order from the request which is least in in-process quantity in the terminal equipment table 7 and highest in priority in the edition requesting table 8 to request edition, thereby updating the terminal equipment table 7 and edition requesting table 8 as to the edition requests which are made. Output terminal equipment 6-1, 6-2... 6-n output the slips of editing results distributed from a slip distribution part 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an editing request scheduling method, and particularly to an editing request scheduling method in an online system that distributes processed forms in response to editing requests from a plurality of terminal devices.

[Conventional technology]

In the conventional editing request scheduling method, editing requests received from each of a plurality of input terminal devices are sequentially processed by several vacant editing system units in the order in which they are received, thereby creating a form of each editing result. is distributed to each of the plurality of output terminal devices corresponding to each of the input terminal devices.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional editing request scheduling method described above, editing processing is performed and distributed in the order in which editing requests occur, so that editing processing by several editing system sections is performed based on requests from input terminal devices that occur frequently at that time. I ended up leaning towards
As a result, the edited result reports that are distributed will be biased towards the corresponding output terminal device, and the load will be concentrated on a specific terminal device and its line, causing editing requests to occur on other terminal devices and lines. However, it also has the disadvantage that it enters a waiting state even though other terminal devices and their lines are idle.

An object of the present invention is to appropriately control the execution order of processing for editing requests received from input terminal devices, thereby preventing editing processing from being biased toward editing requests from input terminal devices that occur frequently. Another object of the present invention is to provide an editing request scheduling method that allows editing requests from input terminal devices that occur infrequently to be processed in parallel without causing unnecessary waiting states.

[Means to solve the problem]

(C) every time an edit request is received from a plurality of input terminal devices, the terminal device table and the edit request table are updated, and the edit an edit request schedule unit that updates the terminal device table and the edit request table with respect to requested edit requests by extracting edit requests in order of priority from the request table and requesting edits; (D) being in an idle state; Sometimes, in response to an editing request requested by the editing request schedule section,
several editing system units that are in process by starting processing; (E) a form distribution unit that distributes the form of the editing result sent from the editing system unit that has finished processing through a line; (F) the form A plurality of output terminal devices corresponding to each of the plurality of input terminal devices outputting the form of the editing result distributed from the distribution section.

Further, the editing request scheduling method of the second invention (A) transmits editing requests inputted by a plurality of input terminal devices through a connected line, and (B) receives editing requests from the input terminal devices in a center system. At this time, a terminal device table is created that stores the number of edit requests waiting to be processed and the number of currently being processed for each input terminal device, and the edit requests corresponding to the number of requests waiting to be processed are prioritized. and (C) extract and edit the edit requests in order from the lowest number of processing requests in the terminal device table and the highest priority in the edit request table. (D) updating the terminal device table and the editing request table with respect to the requested editing request; (E) When one of the editing system units finishes processing, the form distribution unit receives the editing result sent from the editing system unit. A form is distributed through a line, and (F) each of a plurality of output terminal devices corresponding to each of the plurality of input terminal devices receives and outputs the distributed form of the editing result.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
