Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an external man-machine interface realization system using an intermediate file,
In particular, it relates to a method of separating the input / output processing from the main body processing to construct a system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a man-machine interface relating to this type of input / output has been incorporated as a part of the main system processing which performs essential processing.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned man-machine interface processing method, since the input / output processing is executed as a part of the main body processing, the addition of input / output,
When a change or the like occurs, the main body system processing must be modified, and the main body system processing becomes complicated and large.
Also, since the main body of the remodeling is the processing itself, if the remodeling fails, the impact will be large.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The man-machine of the present invention
The interface realization method is essentially the system as an input unit having an arbitrary input method to the system, an input processing unit for converting the input data into a form of the same format, an input intermediate file unit for storing the input data in the same format. Main body processing unit that performs specific processing, a master file unit used in the processing, an output intermediate file unit output in the main processing, and an output processing unit that converts the output data into an arbitrary format, And an output unit that provides an output from the system in a concrete form.

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

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the operation of the embodiment. In FIG. 1, the input processing unit 2, the main body system processing unit 4, and the output processing unit 7 are microprocessors, and a process of creating an input intermediate file unit 3 from an input unit 1 described later according to a control program written in a memory. , A process of creating an output intermediate file unit 6 from the input intermediate file unit 3 and the master file unit 5, and a process of outputting data from the output intermediate file unit 6 to the output unit 8.

The operation will be described below assuming a virtual circuit block having this processing function. Data input processing of inputting (1) data having an arbitrary input form from the input unit 1, converting (2) to the same format in the input processing unit 2, and accumulating (3) in the input intermediate file unit 3 To do. Determine whether to enter other data here (4)
Then, when inputting, the processing of (1) to (3) is repeated, and when not inputting, the following processing is performed. With the input intermediate file section 3 accumulated (3) as a trigger,
Access the master file section 5, and in the main system processing section 4,
The master file reference / update (5) and the result output (6) to the output intermediate file unit 6 are performed. The data of the output intermediate file unit 6 is format-converted (7) by the output processing unit 7 so as to match each output form, and the data is output (8) to the output unit 8. Here, it is judged whether another data is output (9), and if it is output, (7)-
When the process of (8) is repeated and no output is made, the process ends.

FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram of an embodiment focusing on the output processing of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the operation of the embodiment. In FIG. 3, the control unit 9 is composed of a microprocessor and performs an updating process of the master file unit 11 and an updating result output process to the output unit 10, which will be described later, according to the control program written in the memory.

The operation will be described below assuming a virtual circuit block having this processing function. The record of the update data file section 12 is input (10) and the master file section 11 is updated (11). Update here (1
1) It is judged whether the record is the updated record (12) and only the updated record (11) is updated in the master update file section 1
The data is accumulated (13) in 3 and the following processing is continued. The stored (13) contents of the master update file unit 13 are edited (14) to meet the request, and the edited (14) result is output (15) to the output unit 10. At this time, if there is another edit request, the master update result edit (1
4) and edit result output (15) are performed, and this is continued until there is no edit request (16).

[0010]

According to the present invention as described above, since the input / output processing is executed separately from the main body processing, the addition of input / output,
Even if a change or the like occurs, there is no need to modify the main body system processing, which is the main processing, and simple main body system processing can be maintained. Further, for a new input / output request, it is possible to individually create / modify the processing, so that the machine interface becomes flexible and the operability is improved.
