That is, the calculation necessity flag is a logical sum of these various calculation flag groups, and each time information is received, a brand identification ID input as a message header and the necessity of ranking calculation can be determined at high speed. Used to determine.
The criterion in the claims is to determine whether or not to calculate the contents of various rankings such as a price increase rate, a price increase range, and trading volume for each brand, and corresponds to the ranking calculation target determination table. Is what you do.

The ranking information table shown in FIG. 4 shows the ranking calculated based on an instruction from the operation unit 32. FIG. 4 illustrates, for example, a table indicating a ranking of price increase ranges and a table indicating a ranking of sales.

It should be noted that the ranking information table shown in FIG. 4 stores rankings corresponding to the number of calculated rankings shown in a display information parameter table described later. That is, for example, the ranking of the price increase range is stored up to the 30th place, and the sales top rank is stored up to the 10th place.

The security data storage table shown in FIG. 5 stores received security data (current value, change from the previous day, trading volume, etc.) using the brand identification ID as a key.
It is the same as the conventional one. The displayed ranking evacuation table shown in FIG. 6 stores the type of ranking currently displayed on the display unit 33 as a type.

Here, the "type" is a number for identifying the type of the ranking to be displayed. Specifically, the type of the ranking such as "price increase range" or "sales amount" And market divisions such as "1 stock".

The display information parameter table shown in FIG. 7 defines and stores the type of ranking that the user wants to display and output on the display unit 33 and the parameters for displaying the ranking such as the display time and the number of calculated rankings. Is what it is.

In the display information parameter table, the display time mainly used in the ranking display switching process, the number of rankings for calculating the ranking (the number of calculated rankings), the time zone for displaying, etc. Is stored.

Next, the contents of the processing of the CPU 38 will be described.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a ranking calculation process, FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a display interrupt process, FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a ranking display switching process, and FIG. It is a flowchart figure showing an interruption process.

First, the ranking calculation processing will be described with reference to FIG. When receiving the information input from the receiving unit 31, the CPU 38 accumulates the information in the security data accumulation table of the RAM 34 (101), and stores the I included in the information.
With reference to the calculation necessity flag of the ranking calculation target determination table using D as a key, the necessity of ranking calculation is determined (102).

Then, in the process 102, if the calculation of the ranking corresponding to the ID is "No" (if No), the CPU 38 ends the process (A). If the calculation of the ranking corresponding to the ID is “necessary” (if Yes) in the process 102, the CPU 38 refers to various calculation necessity flag groups corresponding to the calculation necessity flag to determine the ranking. (For example, “price increase rate”, “price increase range”, and “sales”), the processing 103 to 107 described below are repeatedly executed.

That is, the CPU 38 refers to the various ranking calculation necessity flags corresponding to the IDs of the received information for each of the items for which ranking is to be calculated, and determines the items for which ranking is to be calculated. Referring to the ranking information table corresponding to the item,
The lowest information is compared with the information input from the receiving unit 31 (103), and if the information received is lower in the ranking than the lowest information (if "lower"), the processing is terminated. (A).

In the process 103, if the received information is higher in the ranking than the lowest information or has the same rank (if it is “higher”), the ID of the received information is It is determined whether the information is ranked in the information table (104). If the information is ranked (Yes), the information corresponding to the ID in the ranking information table is updated (overwritten) with the received information (105). ), And proceed to processing 107.

On the other hand, if the ID is not ranked in the ranking information table in the process 104,
The received information is overwritten on the lowest information (106).
Then, the CPU 38 sorts the ranking information table (107), and ends the processing.

Next, the display interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. The display interruption processing shown in FIG. 9 is performed subsequently when the ranking calculation processing shown in FIG. 8 is performed.

More specifically, the CPU 38 calculates, for each ranking calculated by the ranking calculation process,
It is determined whether or not the ranking has been updated (111). If the ranking has not been updated (if No), the process ends as it is. If the ranking has been updated (if Yes), the type of the displayed ranking evacuation table is displayed. , It is determined whether or not the updated ranking information is being displayed on the display unit 33 (112).

Here, if the updated ranking information is being displayed (Yes), the updated ranking information is displayed and output again (113), and the process is terminated. If the updated ranking information is not being displayed on the display unit 33 in the process 112 (if No), the ranking is interrupted and displayed as a telop (114).

Although the case where the ranking is displayed as a telop has been described above, a case where the display is temporarily switched to the updated ranking and the interruption is displayed may be considered. In this case, a ranking display interrupt process described later may be performed instead of the process 114.

Next, the ranking display switching process will be described with reference to FIG. What is ranking display switching processing?
The display of various rankings is switched at regular time intervals, and a timer (hereinafter, referred to as a “display time timer”) that measures a constant time is used.

The CPU 38 stores the specified ranking information in the RAM 3 according to the instruction input from the operation unit 32.
Then, a search is made with reference to the ranking information table stored in No. 4 (121). Then, after resetting the display time timer (122), the CPU 38 starts counting the display time timer (123). Note that the display time timer can be realized by software processing of the CPU 38, and a separate timer may be provided externally. However, since both can be realized by a widely known method, the description is omitted. I do.

Then, the CPU 38 sets the type of the ranking evacuation table to the type of ranking to be displayed (124), and displays the ranking (12).
5). Then, the CPU 38 continues displaying the display time timer for the time set in the display information parameter table in advance (126), and resets the display time timer when the predetermined time has elapsed in the display time timer (126). 1
27), the type of the ranking evacuation table is cleared (128), and it is determined whether there is other ranking information to be displayed (129).

Here, if there is no other ranking information to be displayed (No), the process is terminated. In addition, in the process 129, if there is other ranking information to be displayed (Yes), the process returns to the process 122 to continue the process.

Here, the ranking display interrupt processing will be described with reference to FIG. The ranking display interrupting process temporarily displays the currently displayed ranking information when the ranking information that is not being displayed changes while sequentially displaying the ranking information by the ranking display switching process. Then, the information of the changed ranking is displayed for a certain period of time, and then the display of the previously displayed ranking information is restarted. In the ranking display interrupt processing described below,
It is assumed that the CPU 38 has a temporary storage area for temporarily copying and storing the contents of the display time timer and the contents of the ranking evacuation table.

When there is a change in the ranking information that is not currently displayed, the CPU 38 stops the display time timer associated with the displayed ranking information if the setting for performing the ranking display interrupt processing is set. Then, the contents of the display time timer and the contents of the ranking save table are temporarily copied to another area (132), and the display time timer is reset (133).

Then, the CPU 38 activates the display time timer (134), substitutes the type of the changed ranking information to be interrupted and displayed in the ranking save table (135), and displays the ranking information. (13
6) Wait until a predetermined time has elapsed while referring to the display time timer (137). At this time, the color display of the title (for example, the highest trading volume ranking) of the display data,
A blinking display or the like may be used to clearly indicate the interrupt display. Note that the fixed time in the process 137 may be a time indicated in the display information parameter table or a fixed time defined regardless of the type of the information to be interrupted and displayed.

Then, in the process 137, when a certain time has elapsed, the display time timer is reset (13).
8) In the process 132, the contents of the separately copied display time timer and the contents of the ranking save table are returned to the original state (139), and the process ends.

Next, the operation of this apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.
3 will be described. FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a message received by the present device, and FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed and output by the present device.

The message received by the apparatus via the communication line 2 is composed of a header portion and security data as shown in FIG. 12, and basically, the ID for specifying the brand and the security data correspond to each other. It is attached.

Here, specifically, as a message received by the receiving unit 31 of the apparatus from the host computer 1 via the communication line 2, the ID is “1001”, and the previous day's ratio of the security data is stored in the RAM 34. Among the rankings indicating the rate of price increase of the stored ranking information table,
Assume that it is higher than the lowest one.

When such a message is received by the receiving section 31 of the present apparatus, the message is output to the CPU 38, and the CPU 38 executes a ranking calculation process to overwrite the received security data with the corresponding ID item of the security data storage table. And store.

Then, if the CPU 38 refers to the ranking calculation object determination table and determines that the calculation availability flag corresponding to the ID “1001” is “available”, the CPU 38 refers to the various ranking calculation necessity flags, and For the ranking items for which the ranking is to be calculated, the lowest order of each item is compared with the received securities data of the message with reference to the ranking information table.

For example, if the price rise rate ranking of the various ranking calculation necessity flags is to be calculated, the previous day's ratio of the price rise rate of the security data of the received telegram is the maximum of the price rise rate ranking in the ranking information table. Since it is determined that the ID is higher than the lower one, the CPU 38 searches the ID from the ranking of the price increase rate in the ranking information table. If the ID is not retrieved from the ranking, the information is overwritten and stored in the lowest order, and the ranking is sorted.

At this time, the CPU 38 of the present apparatus performs a ranking display switching process to sequentially display various rankings. Then, when the ranking calculation process is executed, information other than the price increase rate is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 13B, the CPU 38 displays and outputs the ranking of the changed price increase rate by a telop as shown in FIG.

According to the present apparatus, every time a message is received,
Since this device calculates various rankings and has various display methods such as displaying only the changed rankings by telop, there is no need to perform operations such as searching for the changed rankings. There is an effect that the ranking can be displayed and output in real time by an easy operation.

[0052]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the information display device calculates the information based on the telegram which has received the ranking information, the display output can be performed without waiting for the ranking information transmitted from the host computer. It is possible to display and output ranking information in real time.

According to the second aspect of the invention, when the ranking information changes, the changed ranking information is displayed as a telop in the telop display. Therefore, there is no need to search for the changed ranking, and the operation can be easily performed.

According to the third aspect of the invention, when the ranking information changes, the current display is temporarily interrupted,
The information display device according to claim 1, wherein the information of the changed ranking is displayed and output. Therefore, in addition to the effect of claim 1, there is no need to search for the changed ranking, and the operation can be easily performed. There is.
