This device receives data from an external information processing device (hereinafter referred to as CPU), displays this data in a format that matches the display format of the terminal device, also displays data from the keyboard, etc. Send the displayed data to an external CPU.

This device cannot perform processing such as inputting data from the keyboard or displaying this data until the data is received.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In such conventional devices, the input waiting time on the terminal side is long, which limits the number of human input data per unit time, and has the drawback of increasing the number of input/output terminals when designing online systems. It is an object of the present invention to provide an input/output terminal device that eliminates such drawbacks, transmits communication data, and enables data input from a keyboard or the like.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention relates to a display section connected to a communication line and a data input means and displaying data received via the communication line and data input from the data input means, and data displayed on the display section. In this input/output terminal device, the display unit is equipped with a transmitting means for transmitting part or all of the data to the communication line, and as a means for solving the above-mentioned problem, the display unit is The present invention is characterized by comprising display section initialization means for automatically initializing the display section to a state capable of displaying human input data.

[Effect]

The display unit initialized by the display unit initialization unit can be immediately input with data from the data input unit. As a result, in the conventional device, the period T1 from the completion of the transmission operation of the input/output terminal device to the completion of reception and display of data subsequent to the transmitted data is treated as an input waiting time, and the period T1 is treated as an input waiting time, However, in the present invention, if the period Tz from the end of the initialization operation to the completion of input display of data subsequent to the transmitted data is equal to or larger than the period T1, There is no input waiting time, and the data input means can be operated continuously.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block configuration diagram showing the configuration of the apparatus of this embodiment. FIGS. 2 to 6 are schematic diagrams showing display examples at each operation stage of the apparatus of this embodiment.

FIG. 7 is a time chart showing the operation of this embodiment device.

Next, the configuration of this embodiment device will be explained based on FIG. 1. This embodiment device includes a communication data receiving means 1, a display section 6 including a received data display means 2 and an input data display means 3, a display section initialization means 5, a receiving terminal 10, an input terminal 11, A transmission terminal 12 is provided.

The receiving terminal 10 is connected to the input of the communication data receiving means 1, and the output of the communication data receiving means 1 is connected to the received data display means 2.
connected to the input of The input terminal 11 is connected to the input of the input data display means 3. The output of the display section 6 is connected to the input of the display data transmission means 4, the first output of the display data transmission means 4 is connected to the transmission terminal 12, and the second output of the display data transmission means 4 is connected to the input of the display data transmission means 4. The output of the display section initializing means 5 is connected to the input of the display section 6.

Next, the operation of this embodiment device will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 7.

The communication data receiving means 1 performs code conversion into a data code suitable for the terminal device based on the communication data received from the line.

The received data display means 2 determines the contents of the received data code-converted by the communication data receiving means 1, performs a conversion process to generate data that matches the display specifications on the display section 6, and displays the corresponding data. Data is displayed on the display section.

In the input data display means 3, input data from a keyboard or the like is displayed on the corresponding display section of the terminal device.

The display data transmitting means 4 extracts the data to be transmitted from the data displayed on the display section 6, performs code conversion into a data code suitable for the line, and transmits the data. After the data transmission process is completed by the display unit initialization means 5, the display unit 6 is immediately initialized, and subsequent manual input of data from a keyboard or the like is enabled.

Here, initialization of the display section means that the contents of the unprotected field displayed on the display section 6 are changed to non-display characters such as rNUL.
This is to clear the attribute with LJ and return the attributes related to the display control of the unprotected field to normal display. This makes it possible to input subsequent input data to the initialized display section 6, and by outputting the data to a means for displaying it on the corresponding display section 6, data can be input without waiting time. becomes possible. The manual data sent to the initialized display section 6 is transmitted to the external CPU 75.
This becomes possible after receiving response data to the transmission to 5 and displaying the received data.

That is, each of the above-mentioned means is sequentially and repeatedly operated.

That is, after receiving the communication data from the CPU 75, its contents are examined, and if it is not display data for the guide area, it is displayed on the input/output terminal device 50 as shown in FIG. At this time, the words "rKB Ready" are displayed in the area displaying the status of the input/output terminal device 50, indicating a status in which keyboard input and transmission are possible. This allows input to the input/output terminal device 50 using a keyboard or the like, the input data is displayed as shown in FIG. 3, and the display data is transmitted in response to a transmission request instruction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the contents of the unprotected field of the currently displayed data are cleared with rNULLJ, and the blink designation and emphasis (highlight) designation of the unprotected field are erased. At this time, the word "Touch" indicating a state in which board input is possible is displayed on the part that displays the status of the input/output terminal device 50, and input to the input/output terminal device 50 is permitted. After CiJ, the input data is displayed as shown in FIG.

At this time, when communication data is received from another CPU 75 as shown in FIG. 6, the contents are checked and if it is display data in the guide area, the input/output terminal device 50 as shown in FIG. will be displayed. At this time, "rKB Ready" is displayed in the area that displays the status of the input/output terminal device 50. Thereafter, communication between the input/output terminal device 50 is performed by repeating this process.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention improves communication data line occupancy time and other CPU
This has the effect of allowing input at the input/output terminal device without being aware of the data processing time.

That is, in the conventional device, the time T in FIG. 7 was treated as an input waiting time and no input operation could be performed, but in the present invention, the data input time T2 is equal to the input waiting time T. or more, there will be no input waiting time and continuous manual data input will be possible.

Furthermore, if the number of input data items per unit time increases, it is possible to reduce the number of terminals required for data input in online system design, and also has the effect of reducing the effects of a decrease in line speed or an increase in line load.

Furthermore, it has the effect of minimizing the effects such as a decrease in overall response due to an increase in processing in other CPUs.
