Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a general-purpose application system for a specific job, and more particularly to a general-purpose application system capable of easily supporting a wide variety of specifications that differ for each user.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a general-purpose application system for a specific job, even if the basic purpose is the same for each user, detailed specifications thereof, such as a calculation method, a required form and its layout, and a required screen input. , Work order,
The capacity and the like are often different for each user. In addition, a program may be required to be added or deleted at a large functional level displayed on the menu screen.

That is, since a general-purpose application system for a specific business is developed for a large number of unspecified users in the specific business, no matter how within the scope of the specific business, the required specifications are for the user. There are various translations for each. Therefore, conventionally, a general-purpose application system or a general-purpose application program for a specific job has been developed by one of the following two methods.

A program corresponding to the specifications is developed for each user.

The specifications of programs are unified, and the specifications are forced on the user. Since the method of (1) requires designing, programming, and testing for each user, the cost becomes high, and eventually it is not accepted by the user. On the other hand, in the method (1), the number of users who have made a request for each work, function, and process, the strength of the request, and the like are determined based on the results of marketing, and the importance, applicability, developability, etc. of the work are also determined. The system engineer unifies the specifications, while also making decisions such as development cost and development period. Currently, this method is predominant.

As described above, the conventional general-purpose application system has been premised on that the specifications are unified during development. Therefore, a user who requests a specification that deviates from the unified specification cannot operate the system, and is forced to change the business content in order to operate the system.

In such a conventional general-purpose application system, program creation is specifically performed as follows, for example. That is, the software designer first creates what is to be realized, that is, a software specification in which necessary functions are described, and then how to realize from the software specification, that is, how to realize. Create a program specification that describes methods and means. Once the program specifications have been created, the programmer can code in a computer language, such as C, PASCAL, or assembler language, compile and assemble, and link to create a load module based on the program specifications. Was. Such an application program generation method not only requires a great deal of time, labor, and cost, but often causes a program error.

[0008]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] A general-purpose application system developed with unified specifications is compared with a system required by a user, and each user is individually treated by adding, changing, or deleting the disagreement. It is not impossible to do. For example, a method is generally used in which usable program components are extracted from programs developed in the past, modularized as common components, and used for subsequent application program development. Specifically, based on the software specifications, the software designer selects available program parts from all program parts extracted from the programs developed in the past, and synthesizes them in the state of the source file. Compiling and assembling, creating a link file, linking, and creating a load module.

However, with such an application program generation method, even if the amount of programs to be created can be reduced, it is not possible to cover all of the application programs to be developed with program parts extracted from the programs developed in the past. It was difficult. This is because the common use of program parts, that is, the common use of program parts, is left to the problem of how to divide the functions of the application program and what kind of functions each program part should have. This is because the program component optimally divided into functions for an application does not always match the detailed portion of the program component optimally divided into an application program to be newly developed.

In addition, in the above-mentioned case, not only the addition, change, and deletion of the dissimilar portions but also the upper-level program which originally should not be added, changed, and deleted, and the data structure are linked. Program changes, screen layout and form layout redesign, and program changes often occur. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliability of the system, unit tests of all programs that were added, changed, and deleted, units that have been added, changed, and deleted, and units that have been added, changed, and deleted, and units that are not. It was necessary to perform a combined test combining and, and a comprehensive test combining all programs, which hindered improvement of program productivity and program quality in system construction.

Further, even if all of the application programs to be developed can be covered by the program parts extracted from the programs developed in the past, the software designer can use all the programs based on the software specifications. It requires a long process of selecting available program parts from the parts group, synthesizing in the state of source files, compiling and assembling, creating a link file and linking, and creating a load module. Therefore, not only will there be many mistakes in the process, but in the process that the software designer selects an available program part from the entire program part group based on the software specification, the functional specification of the program part will be displayed. I had to reread and sometimes the program list.

As a method for improving this method, in the field of machine control, a program part having different specifications depending on the machine to be controlled is coded in the state of the source program, that is, using C language, PASCAL, assembler language, etc. In the state of the existing program, it was automatically rewritten to create a program with specifications suitable for the machine to be controlled.

In such a conventional program generation method, that is, a source program automatic generation method in the field of machine control, a difference in specifications is judged when a program for a machine to be controlled is created, and a source program is added or changed.・ Software that automatically deletes is required, and as an environment for operating this software correctly, a program created so that this software can add / change / delete each step of program parts. It is necessary to add information to the parts usage database and the corresponding program parts. Therefore, not only does it take a long time to build an automatic generation system, but the more complicated the specifications are, the more error-prone the software that automatically adds / changes / deletes source programs. Become. In addition, software that automatically adds / changes / deletes source programs and the database as the program part specifications that is the environment, and information that enables addition / change / deletion to / from program parts as well as when building a system. A long man-hour is required for the maintenance work that occurs when a program component added with is to cope with specifications outside the range that can be automatically generated at that time. In addition, when creating a load module with the desired specifications, it takes time to add / change / delete source programs and to compile the added / changed / deleted programs. 4 for programs with around 10,000 steps
It takes 8 hours from the time. Incidentally, JP-A 1-2594
Although an automatic software generation device as disclosed in No. 24 has been proposed, the fact is that the above problems have not been solved.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and can satisfy a wide variety of specification requirements of a large number of users in a specific job, and have high productivity and quality, and a short length.

[0025]

1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a general-purpose application system according to the present invention. System programs are multiple program parts (program modules) for executing specific functions.
And is stored in the program component storage unit 11. The selection input unit 12 selects whether or not a function executed by a predetermined program component is necessary, in other words, which of the predetermined program components is used (activated) and which is not used (deactivated), and Select a specific one of the prepared data file items. The selection input unit 12 may include an input terminal with a display including, for example, a CRT and a keyboard, and may be of an interactive type in which selection input is performed by the keyboard according to the display on the CRT. At this time, the specifications (for example, capacity) of the selected data files may be input at the same time.

Data file / control table generator 13
May be composed of, for example, a main body of a personal computer, and generates first designation data for designating a specific program component for executing the function selected by the selection input unit 12. In addition, the data file / control table generation unit 13
Generates one or more data files 14 corresponding to the data file item selected by the selection input unit 12, and also generates second designation data designating a specific program component related to the data file 14. To do. The actual data is not stored in the data file 14 generated at this time, and only a storage space is defined in which the columns for storing the actual data are defined.
The layout of each data file 14 should be stored in advance. When the specification of the data file is input at the same time as the input of the data file item, the generated empty data file 14 has the specification.

The correspondence relation of which function or which data file 14 each program component stored in the program component storage section 11 is associated with is known in advance. Based on this correspondence, the data file / control table generating unit 13 generates first and second designation data for designating the selected function or the specific program component related to the generated data file.

The first and second control tables 15a and 15b as the designated data storage means respectively store the first and second designated data generated by the data file / control table generating unit 13. The first and second designated data are
It may be a flag that defines whether each program component is activated (used) or inactivated (not used) by the data of “O” and “1”.

The data input unit 16 is composed of, for example, a keyboard and inputs the actual data to be stored in the generated data file 14 from the outside. The input data is stored in the data file 14 under the control of the control unit 17 including, for example, the main body of the personal computer. The data input program that defines the processing procedure of the control unit 17 in this case may be divided into a plurality of data input program components and stored in the program component storage unit 11. The control unit 17 uses the second control table 15b in the second control table 15b.
By activating only a specific one of the plurality of data input program parts stored in the program part storage unit 11 based on the specified data of No. 1 that is necessary to store the actual data in the generated data file 14.

As a result, the application program directed to the combination of functions executed by each of the specific program parts is executed on the actual data stored in the data file 14 as described above.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the operator or the user determines whether or not the function executed by a predetermined program component is required and only the necessary data file items prepared in advance are displayed, for example. By selecting through the selection input unit 12 including an input terminal, the control unit 17 can execute an application program that meets the specifications requested by the user. Therefore, if you prepare in advance program parts that meet a wide variety of specification requirements of many users in a specific job, each user can perform simple operations such as selecting the functions and data file items that are essential to the user's required specifications. You can easily execute the application program with the desired specifications for each time, and there is no need to test the program when the specifications change.
A general-purpose application system with high productivity and high quality can be realized.

Next, a specific example of application of the general-purpose application system shown in FIG. 1 will be described. Now, for example, in a management system of a tenant building, it is assumed that there is a general-purpose application system that automatically determines the usage amount to be allocated to each room from the monthly meter readings of electricity, gas, and water meters in the common area. Here, it is assumed that the user A and the user B request different specifications as follows.

User A's specifications Handling range ... Electricity usage (proportionally distributed to empty rooms) Gas usage (not distributed to empty rooms) Water usage (not distributed to empty rooms) User B's specifications Handling range ... Electricity usage (not distributed to vacant rooms) Gas usage (not distributed to vacant rooms) A general-purpose application system program that can satisfy both requirements is shown in Figures 2 to 9. 2 and 3 are data files composed of the personal computer main body when the data file 14 and the first and second control tables 15a and 15b are generated by using the selection input unit 12 and the data file / control table generation unit 13. It is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the control table generation unit 13. FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show a processing procedure of the control unit 17 including the personal computer main body (that is, a data input program) when inputting data to the data file 14 using the data input unit 16 and the control unit 17. It is a flowchart showing. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show a processing procedure of the control unit 17 composed of the main body of the personal computer when the data of a certain file in the data file 14 is calculated by the control unit 17 and written in another file. It is a flowchart.

The programs shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 include program parts P11 to P16 (data input program parts). These program parts P11
To P16 are stored in the program component storage unit 11. Designated data (second designated data) indicating whether the program parts P11 to P16 are used (activated) or not used (deactivated) is stored in the second control table 15b. Program parts P11 to P11 in the programs of FIGS.
Programs other than P16 are appropriately segmented and stored in the program component storage unit 11. However, since these program components are always used, corresponding designated data is unnecessary. 7 to 9 are program parts P
It is composed of 17 to P25. These program components P17 to P25 are stored in the program component storage unit 11. Program parts P17 to P19 and P2
Designation data (second designation data) indicating whether or not to use 3 to P25 is stored in the second control table 15b, and designation data indicating whether or not to use the program parts P20 to P22 (first designation data). Is stored in the first control table 15a. Programs other than the program components P17 to P25 in the programs of FIGS. 7 to 9 are appropriately segmented and stored in the program component storage unit 11. However, since these program components are always used, corresponding designation data is unnecessary. .. The programs shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 may be appropriately divided into parts and stored in the program parts storage unit 11. Since the program parts are always used, corresponding designation data is unnecessary.

The data file 14 used in this general-purpose application system is the area data file MEN. DAT and the electric (gas, water) data file D. DAT (G.DA
T, S. DAT) and the occupancy status data file NSTS. It is DAT. The data file / control table generation unit 13 is responsive to the selection input in the selection input unit 12 and the empty data file 14 and FIG.
, The first and second control tables 15a,
15b is generated, this operation will be described in detail below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

First, in step S1, the number of rooms is input via the selection input unit 12. In response to this, the data file / control table generating unit 13 determines in step S2 that the area data file MEN. DAT
To generate. This area data file MEN. DAT
As shown in FIG. 12, is composed of a storage area labeled with heyasu and a storage area labeled with a plurality of men. Men correspond to the area of the first room, the area of the second room, and so on in this order from the top. Next, in step S3, the area data file MEN.
The number of rooms input in step S1 is written in heyasu of DAT.

In the following step S4, a moving-in state data file NSTS. Generate DAT. This occupancy status data file NSTS. DAT is
As shown in FIG. 14, the storage area is labeled with a plurality of nsts. nsts corresponds to the moving-in state of the first room, the moving-in state of the second room, ... Each nsts may be, for example, a flag set to “1” during the move-in and “0” for the vacant room. Then, in step S5, the count value c of the counter provided in the main body memory (in this case, the main body is the data file / control table generating unit 13 which is the main body of the personal computer)
Substitute 0 for nt (label of variable on main memory).

In steps S6 and S7, it is determined whether or not cnt = 0 or cnt = 1, and the process proceeds to any of steps S8 to S10 according to the determination result. Since cnt = 0 at the beginning, steps S6 to S8 are performed.
Then, the process proceeds to and the presence / absence of the common portion electricity quantity is input via the selection input unit 12. This is equivalent to selecting a data file item of "electrical data file", and may be, for example, selecting a necessary / unnecessary menu of "electrical data file" displayed on the CRT through a keyboard. .. In response to this, the data file / control table generation unit 13 generates the second designated data of the data file 14 and the second control table 15b in steps S11 to S18.

That is, in step S11, step S
8 (S9, S10), it is determined whether or not the input result is “present”. If NO, the process proceeds to step S12 and “c”.
The designated data of nt-th file = 0 "is generated and stored in the second control table 15b. Initially, cnt = 0.
Therefore, 0 is assigned to the 0th (that is, electric) file of the second control table 15b. file is second
This is a label of variable data (flag) provided in the control table 15b, and corresponds to electricity, gas, and water in order from the top of FIG. On the other hand, if the determination in step S11 is YES, the process proceeds to step S13, and "cnt-th file = 1" is assigned to the second control table 15b. In the present case, as shown in FIG. 11, the 0th (electrical) file for any of the required specifications of user A (B).
= 1.

Next, in steps S14 and S15, cnt =
It is determined whether 0 or cnt = 1, and the process proceeds to any of steps S16 to S18 depending on the determination result. Initially, cnt = 0, so step S

The storage area is labeled with, the storage area labeled with sryou, and the storage area labeled with a plurality of hsryou. Gas and water data file G. DAT, S.M. The DAT has a similar structure. zchi, kchi, and sryou correspond to the previous meter reading value, the current meter reading value, and the usage amount of the common-use meter, respectively, and hsryou is the usage amount of the first room in order from the top,
It is equivalent to the usage of the second room.

Next, in step S19, the necessity of the vacant chamber apportionment function is input via the selection input unit 12. This may be performed, for example, by selecting a necessary / unnecessary menu of the “vacant room apportionment function” displayed on the CRT from the keyboard. In response to this, the data file / control table generation unit 13 generates the first designated data of the first control table 15a in steps S22 to S24. That is, in step S22, steps S19 (S20, S2
It is determined whether the input result in 1) is "necessary", and NO.
In the case of, the process proceeds to step S23 and the “cnt th an
The designated data of bun = 0 "is generated and stored in the first control table 15a. Since cnt = 0 at the beginning,
0th (that is, electricity) a of the first control table 15a
0 is assigned to nbun. Anbun is a label of variable data (flag) held in the first control table 15a, and corresponds to electricity, gas, and water in order from the top of FIG. On the other hand, the determination in step S22 is YES
In the case of, the process proceeds to step S24 and the “cnt th an
Substitute "bun = 1" into the first control table 15a. In this case, regarding the requirement specifications of the user A (B), as shown in FIG.
(0).

The flow advances from step S12, S23 or S24 to step S25 to add 1 to cnt. In the first cycle, cnt = 1 here. Then, in step S26, it is determined whether or not cnt = 3, and if NO, the process returns to step S6, and the same processing as in the case of electricity described above is repeated for gas (following water supply). As a result, the gas data file G. DAT and water supply data file S.D. DAT is generated as needed, and the first and second control tables 15a and 15 shown in FIGS.
All designated data in b are confirmed.

read eayasu). Next, in step S30, 0 is substituted for the count value cnt of the counter provided on the main body memory (the main body in this case is the control unit 17 which is the main body of the personal computer). Then, in step S31, the cnt-th room area is input via the data input unit 16 such as a keyboard. This input room area value is substituted into the storage area of the cnt-th men (variable label on the body memory) in the body memory in the next step S32.

Then, in step S33, 1 is added to cnt, and then in step S34, it is determined whether or not cnt has reached heyasu. If NO, step S
Return to step 31 and enter the room area in sequence. And c
When nt = heyasu, the process proceeds from step S34 to step S35, and all men on the main body memory are replaced with the area data file MEN. DAT
, And the process ends.

On the other hand, the electrical data file D. DAT (gas data file G.DA
T, water supply data file S. The data is input to the DAT) via the data input unit 16 and the control unit 17 while referring to the designated data (file) in the second control table 15b. This will be described below with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

First, in step S36, the contents of the first control table 15a are read into the main body memory (the main body is the control unit 17 which is the main body of the personal computer), and then in step S37, the contents of the second control table 15b are stored in the main body memory. Read into. Note that step S36 may be omitted.
Then, in step S38, 0 is substituted for the count value cnt of the counter provided on the main body memory.

The program parts may be stored in the program part storage unit 11 in the form of an object program. In this case, FIG. 15 shows an embodiment in which a load module for a specific specification is generated based on the designated data of the control tables 15a and 15b. In the following, the control tables 15a and 15b are collectively shown as the control table 15.

In the figure, the link file generator 18
May be, for example, a main body of a personal computer, and generates a file name group of program parts to be linked based on the designated data stored in the control table 15. The designated data and the file name are stored in advance in association with each other, for example, as a comparison list, and the link file generation unit 18 generates the file name group based on the comparison list. The generated file name group is link file 1
9 is stored.

FIG. 16 shows an example of the control table 15,
FIG. 17 shows an example of the link file 18 corresponding to this. The control table 15 shown is 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1
Designated data a, b, c, d, respectively set to ...
e, f ... Are stored. Now, it is assumed that the designated data a, b, c, d, e, f ... Correspond to the program parts A, B, C, D, E, F ... These program components are stored in the program component storage unit 11 as shown in FIG. Also, dummy parts A ', B', C ', D', E ', F' ... Of these program parts.
Is also stored in the program component storage unit 11 as shown in FIG. The dummy component may be as simple as directing a return to any processing step, for example.

The link file generator 18 generates the file name of the corresponding program part when the designated data is "1", and generates the file name of the dummy part of the corresponding program part when the designated data is "0". In the examples of FIGS. 16 and 17, the designated data a, b, c, d, e, f are 0,
In response to being 1,0,1,0,1, A ′, B,
A file name group of C ', D, E', F has been generated.

The program link means 20 may be, for example, a main body of a personal computer to which a commercially available linker program is applied, and based on the file name group stored in the link file 19, the program component storage unit 11
The load module is generated by linking the program parts (including dummy parts) in the object program format stored in. The generated load module (program module converted into a load module) is stored in the load module memory 21.

FIG. 19 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure in the link file generator 18 and the program link means 20 until the load module is generated.

The processes of steps S101 to S110 are the processes executed by the link file generator 14. First, in step S101, the file name of the application program to be generated is entered in the link file 19. The data of this file name is given in advance. Next, in step S102, it is determined from the contents of the control table 15 whether the program component i is necessary. If "necessary" (that is, the designated data corresponding to the part i is "1"), the file name of the program part i is entered in the link file 19 in step S103, and "unnecessary"
If the designated data corresponding to the part i is "0", the file name of the dummy part i'of the program part i is written in the link file 19 in step S104. In the examples of FIGS. 16 and 17, for example, the file name of the dummy part A ′ of the program part A is entered in the link file 19 in response to the designated data a “0”, and in response to the designated data b “1”. The file name of the program part B is written in the link file 19. Then, in step S105, it is determined whether or not the processing for all program parts is completed, and if "NO", step S
Returning to 101, the above-mentioned processing is repeated. If “YES”, the processing proceeds to step S106.

Step S106 shows the processing executed by the program link means 20, in which the program link means 20 uses the object name format stored in the program component storage unit 11 based on the file name group in the link file 19. The load module is generated by linking the program part and the dummy part of.

Based on the designated data in the control table 15, the control unit 17 activates only the specific program component designated by the designated data among the load modularized program components stored in the load module memory 21. As a result, the application program directed to the combination of the functions executed by each of the specific program parts is executed on the data in the data file 14.

According to the above-described embodiment, the target application program (load module) can be generated in an extremely short time as compared with the conventionally known source program automatic generation method.

A case where the embodiment of FIG. 15 is applied to the specific examples of the users A and B described above will be described below. In addition,
For simplicity, only the program parts P21 and P22 in steps S79 and S80 of FIG. 8 will be described below.

The link file generator 18 generates a file name group based on the contents of the variable anbun in the first control table 15a. P21 and P2 for user A
2 file name groups are generated, and P2 for user B
A file name group of 1 ', P22 will be generated.
The file name group thus generated is stored in the link file 19. It should be noted that P21 'is a dummy part of the program part P21, and this dummy part P21' is also the same as the program part P21.
Stored in 1.

The program linking means 20 links the program parts P21 and P22 in the object program format stored in the program part storage 11 and the dummy part P21 'based on the file name group stored in the link file 19. To generate a load module.
The generated load module is stored in the load module memory 21. 20 shows the contents of the load module corresponding to the user A, and FIG. 21 shows the contents of the load module corresponding to the user B. In the load module of FIG. 21, unnecessary program parts are replaced by dummy parts, so that there is an advantage that the capacity of the load module can be small.

In the above example, one file name is generated for each program part or dummy part, but when the number of file names that can be used is limited due to the limitation of the commercially available linker program. Alternatively, one file name may be generated for a plurality of program parts or dummy parts (that is, a predetermined set of program parts or dummy parts).

Program parts (and their dummy parts) in the program part storage section 11 and designated data in the control table 15 for designating activation and deactivation thereof.
2 to 9 define the application program for specific specifications. The specification of the application program is confirmed by the specification of the specified data.
For example, it may be stored as an application program for a specific specification in an external storage device such as a floppy disk at the stage of load module.

As described above, the control unit 17 may be, for example, the main body of a personal computer, and the control unit 17 processes the data in the data file 14 according to the application program for the above-mentioned specific specifications.

According to the general-purpose application system, it is possible to easily create and execute an application program that can satisfy the required specifications of both users A and B without any trouble by a simple operation of adding designated data. Is possible. Further, the load module can be generated in an extremely short time.

In the above-mentioned flow chart, the branch of the processing path by the designated data is set to the transition to a specific program component and the bypass of the specific program component, such as the program component P20 in FIG. The program parts P21 and P22 of FIG. 8 are set to move to specific program parts different from each other, or the process path is branched by flags like the program parts P23, P24 and P25 of FIG. As a result, although the alternative is not the alternative but the alternative is the majority, the same function as the third can be achieved by using the plural-bit flag instead of the one-bit flag. For example, if a 2-bit flag is used, one of four options can be selected.

All program parts are arranged in advance on a series of processing paths using the above-mentioned branches alone or in combination, and the corresponding program parts are activated or deactivated according to the contents of the designated data. By converting
It is possible to obtain a general-purpose application system that can easily realize a wide variety of application programs for specific specifications.
