Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute an inspection of a graphic information display function of a terminal without being connected to a host computer with respect to all graphic display commands generated by the host computer. CONSTITUTION:Based on inspection instructing information inputted from an input device 4, an inspection command determining means 6 determines a graphic display command which becomes an object of an inspection, and a pseudo-host command generating means 7 converts it to a command delivered originally from a host computer 1 and delivers it to a graphic information display processing part 3. As a result, the graphic information display processing part 3 executes a graphic display function to a visible display device 8 in the same way as the case when the command is delivered from the host computer 1. Based thereon, an operator performs an inspection for whether the graphic display function is executed correctly compared with the inputted inspection instructing information or not.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a graphic information display function inspection method, and more particularly to a graphic information display for inspecting a graphic display function for a graphic display command sent from a host computer to a graphic processing system built in a terminal device having a graphic display function. Regarding function inspection method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional graphic information display function inspection system of this kind, graphic information which enables inspection for a host command is created, and based on this, the graphic information is displayed on the visual display device on the terminal from the host computer. By displaying it, it was inspected whether the graphic information display function was correctly realized. Here, when a failure is detected in the graphic information display function, the history information of the host command sent from the host computer is collected to determine which graphic display command the failure occurs.

[0003]

In the above-described conventional graphic information display function inspection method, the graphic information created so as to enable the inspection of the host command is composed of a combination of a plurality of host commands. Could not be checked against the host command of. Therefore, if a failure is detected in the graphic information display function, it takes time to determine which host command the failure occurs.

[0004]

The graphic information display function inspection system of the present invention is a storage means on a terminal storing a graphic display command group and data for inputting inspection instruction information from an input device on the terminal. Input means, search command determining means for determining a graphic display command to be searched from the graphic display command group stored in the storage device based on the search instruction information, and command created by the host computer from the determined graphic display command And a pseudo host command generating means for generating and passing the command to the graphic information display processing unit.

[0005]

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a graphic information display function retrieval system of the present invention. During system operation, the host computer 1 generates a host command based on the graphic display instruction information input from the input device 4, and the host command sent from the host computer 1 is used as the communication control processing unit 2.
Received and handed over to the graphic information display processing unit 3. The graphic information display processing unit 3 determines what kind of graphic should be displayed based on the passed host command, and displays it on the visual display device 8.

On the other hand, at the time of system inspection, the graphic display command group is stored in the storage device 9 on the terminal, the inspection instruction information is input from the input device 4 by the data input means 5, and the inspection command determination means is inputted. Pass to 6.

Next, the search command determining means 6 determines a graphic display command to be inspected corresponding to the passed search instruction information from the graphic display command group stored in the storage device 9, and uses this as the inspection command. The pseudo host command generation means 7 is notified.

The pseudo host command generation means 7 generates a command having the same function as the host command originally generated by the host computer 1 on the basis of the notified graphic display command, and passes it to the graphic information display processing unit 3.

As a result, the graphic information display processing section 3
Similar to the case where the host command is sent from the host computer 1, the graphic is displayed on the visual display processing 8 based on the host command and the graphic display instruction information input from the input device 4.

FIG. 2 shows a procedure for inspecting the graphic display function using the graphic information display function inspection system of the present invention.

First, the operator inputs the inspection instruction information for all graphic display commands from the input device 4. As a result, the graphic information display inspection is executed for all host commands and the graphic is displayed on the visual display device 8. The operator inspects whether or not the graphic information display function is correctly executed for each host command, and ends the inspection if the inspection result is normal.

When a host command having an abnormal inspection result is detected, the inspector investigates and corrects a defect in the graphic information display processing unit 3. After correcting the defect, the operator inputs again the inspection instruction information for the host command for which the abnormality is detected, to the input device 4. As a result, it is inspected whether the graphic information display function is correctly executed for the host command in which the abnormality is detected, and when the inspection result is normal, the inspection is ended.

FIG. 3 shows a specific example of a case in which a pseudo host command for displaying a cross symbol is generated based on the inspection instruction information and is confirmed on the visual display device 8.

The operator uses the input device 4 to instruct "cross mark display" as the inspection instruction information. This inspection instruction information is passed from the data input means 5 to the search command determination means 6, and the inspection command determination means 6 searches the memory on the storage device 9 in which the graphic display command for “display cross symbol” is stored, The graphic display command "MARK15" for displaying the cross symbol is acquired and passed to the pseudo host command generation means 7. The pseudo host command generation means 7 converts the passed graphic display command "MARK15" into a corresponding pseudo host command (for example, "1B6D4B0F").
Is converted into a character code represented by a hexadecimal number) and is passed to the graphic information display processing unit 3, whereby the visual display device 8
A cross symbol is displayed on.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily generate all host commands generated by the host computer in the graphic information display function inspection from the input device. Thus, it is possible to easily execute an inspection for all host commands, and since it is possible to execute an inspection for each host command, it is possible to immediately know the host command in which a failure has occurred.
