Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. The host computer 1 and the automatic machine 8 are connected by a line 7. The host computer 1 includes an automatic machine management file 5 having information such as a contact state of each automatic machine with the host computer 1, an operating time zone, and an operating status, and an automatic machine 8.
A business program 2 that performs business processing based on a message sent from the computer, and an automatic machine management process 4 that manages the automatic machine management file 5 and transfers control to and from the communication control process 3.
The electronic message sent from the automatic machine 8 is received, the automatic machine management file 5 is searched through the automatic machine management process 4, the electronic message and the automatic machine information are passed to the business program 2, and the response message from the business program 2 is sent. It includes a communication control process 3 for performing communication management for each automatic machine such as transmission to the automatic machine 8 and recovery (recovery processing) at the time of communication failure. The automatic machine 8 is activated by an automatic machine operator, creates an electronic message for the host computer 1, and processes the response electronic message sent from the host computer 1, and is passed from the automatic machine business program 10. Send computer to host computer 1
It also includes an automatic machine network management process 9 for performing a process of sending a message to the automatic machine business program 10 or transmitting a message sent from the host computer 1 to the automatic machine business program 10.

A case where an automatic machine operator causes the host computer 1 to perform business processing will be described. First, the automatic machine work program 10 is operated to create a message for the host computer 1. The automatic machine network management processing 9 receives the electronic message created by the automatic machine business program 10, and uses the line 7 to transmit the electronic message to the host computer 1. The electronic message transmitted from the automatic machine 8 is received by the communication control processing 3, the automatic machine management file 5 is searched through the automatic machine management processing 4, the automatic machine information of the transmission source is acquired, and the electronic message and the automatic machine information are acquired. Hand over to business program 2. The business program 2 performs business processing based on the electronic message and the automatic machine information, creates a response electronic message of the processing result, and passes it to the communication control processing 3. The response message is transmitted by the communication control processing 3 to the automatic machine 8 using the line 7, and is passed to the automatic machine business program 10 by the automatic machine network management process 9. The automatic machine business program 10 performs business processing, responds to the automatic machine operator, and ends the processing. When the business end time of each automatic machine comes, an automatic machine operator (in this case, a business person concerned) operates the business program 10 to create a closed station telegram and sends it to the host computer 1.
When the communication control processing 3 receives the closing message, the communication control processing 3 notifies the information to the automatic machine management processing 4, and the automatic machine management processing 4 updates the operation information about the target automatic machine in the automatic machine management file 5 and sends it to the communication control processing 3. The control is passed, the communication control processing 3 releases the network of the target automatic machine, displays the fact on the console 6, and notifies the operator.

Next, a case where the automatic machine 8 has a communication failure will be described. The communication control processing 3 notifies the failure information to the automatic machine management processing 4, and the automatic machine management processing 4 searches the automatic machine management file 5 to obtain the operating time zone of the target automatic machine.
