JPS59142642A - Processing system of transaction terminal message - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To process a message in slowdown mode without intermitting the system by storing the message in another buffer area which is set in a part of a file memory, when the memory buffer area of a transaction terminal is used. CONSTITUTION:The second buffer area 11 is set in a part of a file memory 4. If a buffer 6 of a memory 5 is empty when a message (1) is inputted from a center 1, the message is stored there, and required processings such as display, printing etc. are performed, and a work station WS3 is operated. Data after processings is stored in the file memory 4. If the buffer area 6 is used, an input message (2) is stored temporarily in the buffer area 11 of the file memory 4. Processings are performed after a transaction terminal controller TC2 becomes idle. That is, the slowdown processing is performed automatically.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a message processing method in which when a message is input to a transaction terminal from a center etc., processing is slowed down if a memory buffer is in use. It is something.

(2) Prior art and problems Conventionally, when a message is input from the center 1 or workstation <WS) 5 to the terminal computer (1) troller (TC) 2 of the transaction terminal shown in Figure 1,
The message is temporarily stored in a buffer 7 area 6 provided in advance in the memory 5 in the Te3, and predetermined processing is performed thereon.

In this case, if the buffer area 6 is in use, the input will be placed on hold temporarily, and subsequent input will not be processed until the previous message stored in the buffer area 6 is output and becomes empty). is temporarily interrupted. Here, setting the buffer area 6 large increases the memory, resulting in a major modification. .

Circle 3) Purpose of the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to provide a system for processing messages from a transaction terminal by slowing down the system without interrupting the system if the memory buffer is in use when a message is input to the transaction terminal from a center or the like. The purpose is to provide a processing method.

(4) Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the message processing method of the transaction terminal (2) of the present invention is such that when a buffer area set in a part of the memory is not in use, an input message is temporarily stored in the buffer area. In a transaction terminal that stores and processes the transaction data, if the buffer area is in use, the data is stored in another buffer area set in a part of a separately provided file memory, and processing is slowed down. It is.

(5) Examples of the invention FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

1i[, the terminal controller of the trading terminal (
A file memory 4 made of, for example, a magnetic disk is provided outside the memory 5 of the TC) 2 and stores processed data.

In the present invention, a second buffer area 11 is set in a part of this file memory 4, and if a message ■ is input from the center 1, if a part of the buffer area 6 of the memory 5 is empty, it is temporarily stored here. Then, the WB2 is operated by performing necessary processing such as display and printing. The processed data is then stored in the file memory 4. On the other hand, if buffer (3) area 6 in memory 5 is in use, input message ■ is temporarily stored in buffer area 11 of file memory 4, and processing continues after waiting for TC5 to become empty. controlled to do so. That is, slowdown processing is automatically performed.

FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the operation of the embodiment of FIG.

In the same figure, input messages from the center 1 and the WC 6 are taken out by the TC 2, it is checked whether the memory buffer 6 is in use, and if it is not in use, the memory buffer 6 is processed as before.
Store it in and process it. If the file is in the buffer, it is stored in the file buffer 11, and after the processing in the memory buffer 6, the processing is automatically slowed down.

(6) As described in detail, according to the present invention, when the memory buffer area of the transaction terminal is in use, it is stored in another buffer 7 area set as a part of the file memory and slowed down. The system is designed to process the following information. As a result, even when a large number of messages are input, processing can be slowed down slightly without interrupting the p1 system (4) and without increasing the buffer area in memory.

Claims (1)

[Claims] If the buffer 7 area set in a part of the memory is not in use, the input message is temporarily stored in that area and then processed.In the transaction terminal, if the wti written buffer 7 area is in use, a separate file is created. A trading terminal message processing method that stores messages in a separate buffer area set as a part of the transaction terminal memory and processes them at a slowdown.
