Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform data transfer between terminals while a host system is not in operation and to reduce a load on the host system by providing communicating means for the host system and communicating means for other terminal controllers, and switching those communicating means through a switching means. CONSTITUTION:Terminal controllers 5 and 8 are connected to the host system 1 through communicating circuits 4 and 7 are terminal devices 6 and 9 are connected to the controllers 5 and 8. Those controllers 5 and 8 are provided with the communicating circuits 10 for the host and the communicating circuits 11 for the terminal controllers and the circuits 11 of the controllers 5 and 8 are connected with each other by a communicating circuit 14. Then, connections between the communicating circuits 10 and 11 in the controllers 5 and 8 are switched by the communication switching circuit 12 to make a connection with a data processing circuit 13. Then, communicating circuits 4 and 7 connected to the host system 1 are not used for data transfer between the controllers 5 and 8 when the host system 1 is not in operation, preventing the generation of the overhead of the host system 1.
