Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform the collection of money or the like efficiently, by making it possible to connect a handy adapter and a main computer mutually by a connector and using a small-sized handy adapter. CONSTITUTION:A handy interface part 6 of a handy adapter 1 and a handy adapter interface part 15 of a computer 7 are connected mutually by a connector mechanism to transfer data between them. A small-sized and portable adapter is used as the adapter 1. The money collector removes the adapter 1 from the computer 7 after storing required information in a storage device 3 and inputs prescribed key information from an input/output device 5 to obtain information concerning customers. The money collector who goes the rounds of his customers connects the interface part 6 of the adapter 1 to the interface part 15 of the computer 7 to input prescribed information from the device 5.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Technical field of the invention The present invention relates to a portable electronic meter X machine.

(b) A glimpse of the technique in 1 In the future, various computers (hereinafter referred to as 1.

When the urinary tube was widely used, it was used in a variety of ways, which led to the use of urinals. ! Many people agree that the demands for I will also become more diverse.

Among these diversifying opinions, there is a desire for the realization of the WT114, which is easy to carry and can be used like a calculator.

CJ Conventional technology and problems One way to meet this demand is to miniaturize the iX machine,
There is a way to run it on batteries. However, this method also has drawbacks, and no matter how much device technology advances and high-integration, low-power, day-function LSI* devices are created, office combinations of the same era that used multiple of these LSI devices It is clearly inferior in functionality to a total of n machines the size of an ETERNUS computer or a minicomputer LAT. In addition, as another method, a terminal with a built-in removable 6J cassette tape and functions for simple data collection +! Make a k, collect data on cassette tape t-
One possible method is to take out the cassette tape when it is finished, insert it into the input mechanism of another larger, more sophisticated computer, and have that computer read out the data on the cassette tape and perform various processes. However, with this method, the functionality of the terminal itself is poor, so
The drawback is that the user's demands cannot be fully satisfied with the pressure.

B) Purpose of the Invention The present invention is based on the above consideration, and is capable of being connected to and detached from the main computer, and has an arithmetic processing function based on program control itself, and is capable of connecting to the main computer. K11r! allows mutual data transfer when connected to K11r! 0 (e) Structure of the Invention Aiming to realize a portable computer according to the data input/output section; The data input from the storage unit is stored in the storage unit under the control of the arithmetic processing control unit, and the data in the storage unit is further outputted from the data input/output unit under the control of the arithmetic processing control unit. , and by a portable electronic computer which is configured such that when the interface section is mechanically attached to a fine needle adjusting machine, various processing can be performed in cooperation with the fine needle adjusting machine. achieved.

(f) Embodiment of the Invention The figure shows a block diagram of a portable electronic computer according to an embodiment of the present invention and a block diagram of a main computer to which the portable Hiroko computer can be attached. In the figure, 1 is a portable electronic computer (hereinafter referred to as a handy adapter);
2 is an arithmetic processing control device, 3 is a storage device for storing programs and data, 4 is a power supply device, 5 is an input/output device, 6 is a handy adapter interface section, 7 is a main computer, 8 is a control arithmetic device, 9 1 is a memory, 10 is a mass storage device, 11#'i line control device, 12 is a network control device, 13ti is an input/output control device, 14 is an input/output device, and 15Fi handy adapter interface section. In the figure, the power supply device 4 can be configured with a battery.In addition, between the handy adapter 1 and the main computer 7, there is a connection between the handy adapter interface part 6 in the handy adapter 1 and the main computer 7. By interconnecting the computer 7 with a handy adapter interface s15 through a connector mechanism, data can be transferred between them. Furthermore, the handy adapter 1 itself has a small and portable structure.

Below, we will explain an example in which the operation of the embodiment is applied to the collection work of one store. Five input/output devices of the adapter l are connected, and the customer list information @ in the master file in the mass storage device 10 is transmitted via the input/output control room 13, the input/output device 14, the input/output device 5, and the arithmetic processing unit 2. and transfer it to the storage device 3.

At this time, the handy adapter 1 is functioning as a part of the main computer 7. Next, map information and amount information of the customer you are going to collect money from is stored in a large-capacity storage f.
The data is stored in the storage device 3 from the master file in the ilk 10 through the handy adapter interface section 15 in the main computer 7 and the handy adapter interface section 6 in the handy adapter 1.

After the necessary information is stored in the storage device 3, the bill collector removes the handy adapter 1t from the main computer 7, puts it in his pocket, and goes to collect the bill. The bill collector inputs predetermined key information from the input/output device 5 and reads out information regarding the first customer.

The read information is displayed on a display section (not shown) in the input/output device 5. The bill collector hands the bill to the customer and causes the arithmetic processing control unit [2 to execute a simple amount calculation via the input/output device 5.

Then, the customer stores information such as the amount received and the amount of change paid in the storage device 13, and goes to the next customer. In this way, the customer visits all of the customers and makes sure that the customer has access to the Handy Adapter Interface Section 6 of the Handy Adapter 1.
t- Connected to the handy adapter interface section 15 of the main computer 7 by a connector mechanism (not shown). Then, a predetermined invitation message @ is inputted from the input/output device 5. As a result, the arithmetic processing control device 2 is activated, and the contents of the storage device 3 are transferred to the main computer 7. Thereafter, the main computer 7 executes the collection process and the update process of the mass mailing aisle.

In addition, as another application example, for example, in a hospital, the personal information of each patient is input from the main computer 7 to the handy adapter 1, and then various sensors attached to the input/output device 5 of the handy adapter 10 are used to input the personal information of each patient. Another possible method would be to collect and circulate specific information specified for each event. In this case as well, the collected information is transferred to the main computer 7 in the same way as in the case of the dormitory example, and the main computer 7 performs, for example, a patient's body diagnosis processing.

Furthermore, as another example of application, data such as travel schedules created on the computer 7 of the main electronics 11 can be stored in the non-ndia adapter 1, and the schedule can be checked using the input/output function of the non-ndia adapter 1. You can also do this.

In the first embodiment shown, in data transfer between the handy adapter 1 and the main computer 7, part of the data is transferred to the input/output section @5. 4 and other data to the handy adapter interface section 6.15'
However, Kinoe 8A is not limited to this, and only one of them can be used as needed.
Alternatively, data can be transferred between them using both.

(g) Effects of the Invention According to the present invention, it is possible to perform relatively simple processing using a hand-held portable Hiroko computer, and to have the main electronic computer perform other complicated processing. It's extremely large.
