BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for acquiring journal data (financial transaction breakdown data) of a financial terminal device, and in particular, acquires journal data determined to be unnecessary by an operator in a specific area of a journal file and erases it. By enabling it, the present invention relates to a journal data acquisition method of a financial terminal device, which is suitable for effective use of a journal file.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional financial terminal device in a financial terminal system, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 1-191242, the journal data acquired in a journal file is erased as follows. It was That is, when a financial transaction is unsuccessful, the journal of the unsuccessful transaction acquired in the journal file of the financial terminal device is included in the electronic message sent from the higher-level station to the financial terminal device by including the deletion instruction information of the journal data. It erases data.

[0003]

In the above prior art, when a transaction is established, journal data which the operator of the financial terminal device determines is unnecessary is acquired in the journal file, and the journal file is wasted. There was a problem of using it. For example, the journal data when the operation test of the financial terminal system is performed on a holiday is test data, but when the financial transaction is successful, it is acquired in the journal file of the financial terminal device, and the journal file is There was a problem that it was wasted.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The journal data which the operator judges to be unnecessary is acquired in a sub area of the journal file, and unnecessary journal data is collectively deleted. By doing so, it is an object of the present invention to provide a journal data acquisition method for a financial terminal device, which is suitable for effectively using the journal file, by acquiring only the journal data that the operator determines is necessary.

[0005]

The journal data acquisition method of the present invention registers journal data for a plurality of days in a fixed disk device in a financial terminal device and has the following features.

That is, the journal file for storing the journal data provided in the fixed disk device is divided into a main area and a sub area, and the journal data judged by the operator of the financial terminal device to be registered is set as the main area. The journal data registered and registered by the operator of the financial terminal device is registered in the sub-area. As a result, the journal data that does not need to be registered can be erased collectively, and only the journal data that the operator judges necessary is acquired in the journal file.

[0007]

According to the present invention, journal data determined to be required for registration is registered in the main area, and journal data determined not to be required for registration is registered in the sub area. Therefore, journal data that does not need to be registered can be erased in a batch, and only the necessary journal data is acquired in the journal file, so that the journal file can be effectively used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the financial terminal system of this embodiment. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is a financial terminal device, which comprises a CPU 2, a fixed disk device 3, a keyboard 4, a CRT 5, and a line controller 6. In addition, in FIG.
Indicates a terminal controller, and 11 indicates an upper station (host).

The journal data is transmitted from the higher-level station 11 to the financial terminal device 5 via the terminal controller 10 and taken into the journal file in the fixed disk device 3 via the line controller 6 of the financial terminal device 5.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a journal file JF and a pointer area P formed in the fixed disk device 3. The journal file JF is divided into a main area and a sub area, and journal data that the operator judges necessary is recorded in the main area. Further, journal data that the operator judges to be unnecessary is recorded in the sub area. The pointer area P is provided with a position pointer PP, a pointer save area MP for the main area, and a pointer save area SP for the sub area. In this embodiment, the main area and the sub area of the journal file JF are continuously provided in the recording area of the fixed disk device 3.
Needless to say, they may be provided in discontinuous recording areas.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
That is, the position pointer PP is the journal file JF.
The transaction data is designated, the journal data is written in the recording area of the designated transaction header, and the journal data of the designated transaction header is read out.

The operator operates the keyboard 4 to enter C
If a screen for declaring whether or not to acquire journal data is displayed on RT5 and you have declared that acquisition is not required,
The following operation is performed. That is, the contents of the position pointer PP (pointer indicating the transaction header to be written next in the main area), which has instructed the transaction header in the main area of the journal file JF until now, is saved in the pointer save area MP of the main area. Then, the content of the pointer save area SP of the sub area (pointer indicating the transaction header to be written next in the sub area) is set in the position pointer PP. As a result, the journal data sent from the higher-level station 11 via the terminal controller 10 is written in the sub area of the journal file JF of the fixed disk device 3. Therefore, the journal data is not written in the main area of the journal file JF, and it is not wastefully used by unnecessary journal data. On the contrary, when the declaration that the journal data acquisition is required is made during the declaration that the journal data acquisition is not required, the operation reverse to the above operation is performed. That is, the contents of the position pointer PP (pointer indicating the transaction header to be written next in the sub area), which has previously pointed to the transaction header of the sub area of the journal file JF, is saved in the pointer save area SP of the sub area. Then, the content of the pointer save area MP in the main area (pointer indicating the transaction header to be written next in the main area) is set in the position pointer PP. As a result, the journal data sent from the upper station 11 via the terminal controller 10 will be written in the main area of the journal file JF of the fixed disk device 3.

In the above description, the journal data is taken from the upper station 11 via the terminal controller 10 into the fixed disk device 3 in the financial terminal device 1, but the financial terminal device 1 and the upper station are described. The financial terminal device 1 without sending and receiving journal data between 11
Exists when processing journal data offline. The present invention also covers such offline journal data.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the above-mentioned embodiment, the journal data which the operator judges to be unnecessary is acquired in the sub-area and can be erased collectively at any time. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the journal file from being used wastefully by acquiring the journal data of the operation test performed on a holiday in the sub-area and deleting them collectively.

[0015]

According to the present invention, journal data determined to be registered is registered in the main area of the journal file, and journal data determined not to be registered is registered in the sub area of the journal data. Therefore, it becomes possible to collectively delete the journal data that does not need to be registered, and only the necessary journal data is acquired in the journal file, so that the journal file can be effectively used.
