Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a trading transaction processing system that handles trading commodities such as stocks, and more particularly to a function-distributed trading transaction processing system in which the trading transaction processing is distributed to several servers by function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a trading transaction system for processing trading transactions by an electronic computer has been put to practical use in stock exchanges and the like. This type of trading system includes, for example, a host computer that performs a trading process, a large number of terminal devices that place orders, and a large number of terminal devices that mediate the conclusion of trading, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 01-18468. It is configured. The host computer organizes orders entered from a terminal device that places an order by brand or product, and executes a fastening process according to a set rule.

FIG. 3 shows a conventional transaction processing system.
It is a flow chart which shows a flow of transaction processing of a host computer. Transaction processing is functionally divided into five parts,
The programs that implement each function are linked by files. When the host computer receives an order from each orderer, that is, the terminal device that places an order, the order is stored in the order reception file 901 in the order of reception (step 91).
1). The host computer uses the order reception file 901.
Read the order received from (step 91
2) Create an acceptance notification in the acceptance notification queue 904 provided for each orderer (step 913). Furthermore, each order is read from the order reception file 901 (step 91
4) The data is organized and totalized for each brand and stored in the totaling file 903 for each brand (step 915). When the conclusion of the sale and purchase is possible as a result of the arrangement and totalization, the sale and sale conclusion process is performed according to the regulation and the result is stored in the execution result file 902 (step 916). The host computer reads the contract result file 902 (step 917), organizes the contract results for each orderer, and creates the contract notification queue 905 (step 918). The reception notification and the contract notification on the notification queues 904 and 905 created last are read (step 919) and sent to the terminal device of the orderer (step 920).

[0004]

In the conventional trade transaction system, the host computer performs the order acceptance process for all the issues and executes the trade conclusion process according to the order and the organized result. Although each brand can be processed independently, the host computer centrally processes all the brands, so that processing of one brand is delayed while processing of one brand. Generally, an online system is equipped with a system configuration capable of processing an expected amount of data per unit time, and is designed so that waiting per unit time does not become a problem. But especially in a trading system,
Orders may be concentrated on a specific issue, and in this case, how to reduce the effect of waiting for processing on other issues and how to operate the entire system efficiently was a major issue. Further, there has been a problem that a large-scale modification or change of the system is required or an excessive system configuration is required to cope with a rapid increase or a sharp decrease in the amount of data due to an increase in the number of brands and a change in market conditions.

According to the present invention, in a sales transaction system, when a transaction concentrates on a specific product type, the influence on other traded products is reduced, and the fluctuation in the number of types of traded products and the change in the amount of data is suppressed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sales transaction processing system that can be easily dealt with.

[0006]

The present invention comprises a plurality of transaction processing servers that are processed and distributed according to the types of transaction products, and a management server that distributes and sends the input orders to these transaction processing servers. It features a trading transaction processing system.

[0007] The management server organizes the order of products entered by the orderer in the order of receipt for each product type, and sends the order to the transaction processing server that handles a specific product type. Upon receiving this order, the transaction processing server sorts out according to the rules, selling and buying, price, and order of acceptance, and carries out trade conclusion processing. The contract result concluded in the transaction processing server is notified to the orderer through the management server.

Further, since the system on the orderer side may be composed of many devices such as a computer and a terminal device, an orderer connection server is provided between the terminal device on the orderer side and the management server to provide the same system. It is preferable to aggregate the orders sent from the ordering party and send them to the management server.

[0009]

Since each transaction processing server only performs processing for a specific product type, the processing for that product type does not adversely affect the processing for other product types. Further, it is not necessary to perform exclusive processing of files and common tables accessed by the transaction processing program, so that it is possible to improve performance and reliability. Furthermore, if there are processing peculiarities depending on the type of product, the addition and modification of processing in the past to the centralized type of the host computer may cause a wide range of operations and hinder the operation of the system. Since it is independent, it becomes possible to flexibly deal with the addition or change of such processing.

The management server has a main function of collecting, classifying, and distributing data for each product type and each orderer, and has a function of integrating and controlling decentralized processing functions. It is possible to perform the processing functions that the host computer has performed so far, such as totaling the volume.
Further, when a problem such as performance deterioration or failure occurs in the transaction processing server, it is possible to send the order of the transaction product held by the management server to the spare or alternative transaction processing server and continue the business.

Since the orderer connection server is provided in accordance with the system on the orderer side, it is not necessarily limited to the standard connection use, and can be developed according to the connection use of the orderer system, and can be connected to other orderer systems. It has no effect.
