Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] It is not necessary to have an operator from the start to the end of the device diagnosis, and the device can be reasonably diagnosed. [Configuration] A floppy disk drive (2) and a program (3) capable of diagnosing the device based on the data read from the floppy disk (4) by the floppy disk drive (2) are provided. The diagnostic items can be automatically input from (4).

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an apparatus diagnostic mechanism suitably used for a cash register, etc., and particularly when diagnosing an apparatus, an apparatus diagnostic mechanism capable of selecting a diagnostic item and setting a diagnostic item by a floppy disk. Regarding

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, the cash register has a program for diagnosing the device, and the operator can enter the test number performed by the keyboard and select the diagnostic item of the device diagnostic program to check the set diagnostic items. The device is configured to self-test.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the device diagnosis mechanism provided in the conventional cash register requires the operator to set the diagnostic items from the keyboard when diagnosing the device. I have to. In particular, when performing a device diagnosis for a plurality of diagnosis items, the operator is restrained for a long time, which is a problem in terms of rationality.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and when a device is diagnosed, it is not necessary to have an operator all the time from the start to the end of the diagnosis, and the device can be reasonably diagnosed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus diagnostic mechanism capable of performing the above.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the device diagnosis mechanism of the present invention is configured to include a floppy disk drive and a program capable of diagnosing the device according to the data read from the floppy disk by the floppy disk drive. ..

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the device diagnosis mechanism having the above configuration, the floppy disk in which the diagnostic item data for the device diagnosis is registered is set in the floppy disk drive, and the data is read from the floppy disk by operating the floppy disk drive. Data is sent to the diagnostic program, diagnostic items are input to the diagnostic program, and the diagnostic program diagnoses the device according to the input.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cash register equipped with a device diagnostic mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cash register 1 is a floppy disk drive 2 and a device diagnostic program for diagnosing the device. 3 and 3.

The floppy disk drive 2 sequentially reads the diagnostic item setting data from the floppy disk in which the diagnostic item setting data for device diagnosis is registered, and sets the diagnostic items in the device diagnostic program 3.

The device diagnostic program 3 is a program set to diagnose the device based on the diagnostic item setting data received from the floppy disk drive 2.

Next, an operation and an operation when performing a device diagnosis of the cash register 1 will be described.

First, the floppy disk 4 in which the diagnostic item setting data for executing the device diagnostic program 3 is registered is prepared, and the floppy disk 4 is set in the floppy disk drive 2 of the cash register 1.

When the floppy disk drive 2 is operated, the floppy disk drive 2 reads the diagnostic item data from the floppy disk 4, sends the read data to the diagnostic program 3, and sets the diagnostic item in the diagnostic program 3. Then, the diagnostic program 3 diagnoses the device according to the set diagnostic items.

When there are a plurality of diagnostic items, when the diagnosis for one diagnostic item is completed, the floppy disk drive 2 reads the next diagnostic item data from the floppy disk 4, and the next diagnostic item is stored in the device. The diagnostic program 3 is set, and the diagnostic program 3 performs diagnostics on the following diagnostic items. After that, the same operation is automatically repeated in sequence until the device diagnosis for all the diagnostic items is completed.

As described above, according to the cash register 1 of this embodiment, when diagnosing the device, the floppy disk 4 in which the diagnostic item data of the device diagnosis is registered is set in the floppy disk drive 2, In addition, by operating the floppy disk drive 2, the diagnostic items can be automatically entered, and the diagnostic program 3 can automatically diagnose the device accordingly. There is no need to have an operator from start to finish, and it is possible to diagnose the device very reasonably.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is also possible to input the diagnostic item by either data input by the floppy disk or data input by the keyboard, for example. The configuration can be variously changed within the scope of the gist of the present invention. Further, the device diagnosis mechanism of the present invention is not limited to the diagnosis mechanism of the cash register, but can be applied to various devices.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the device diagnosis mechanism of the present invention, when diagnosing the device, the diagnostic items can be automatically input from the floppy disk, so that the operator can operate from the start to the end of the diagnosis. There is no need to have it attached, and equipment diagnosis can be reasonably performed.
