Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute automatically an interactive program at high speed and with high accuracy without writing the input data for each execution, by storing the data supplied by an operator when the interactive program is first executed and making use of the stored data when said program is executed at and after the second time. CONSTITUTION:When a CPU 4 executes first the interactive program, steps 101-105 and then steps 101, 108 and 113 are processed to store the input data and commands into an external memory device 3 according to the executing processes of the program. Therefore the steps 101, 108, 109, 110 and 111 are processed at and after the second execution of the program. The data needed for the CPU 4 to execute the program are supplied from the device 3. Thus the interactive program is executed automatically.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automatic execution processing device for an interactive program that uses a display device to exchange data with a human.

[Technical Background of the Invention] Conventionally, the input data necessary for executing an interactive program has been input by a human using a keyboard each time the program is executed, or data prepared in advance in an external storage device has been used.

[Problems with the background technology] However, when input data is entered by a human using a keyboard, the input/output data to the display device disappears when the program execution ends. The drawback was that input data had to be entered each time. Also, when preparing input data on an external storage device,
Although the above drawbacks are solved, there is a drawback that it is very difficult to predict the program execution process and prepare data that matches it in advance.

[Object of the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic execution processing device for an interactive program that automatically executes the interactive program quickly and reliably without inputting input data each time the program is executed. be.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention provides that when an interactive program is first executed,
data storage means for storing data and commands output to a display device and data and commands input by an operator in a storage device; and data necessary for executing the program from the storage device when the interactive program is executed again. The above object is achieved by using an automatic execution processing device for an interactive program comprising a data supply means for supplying commands and a data supply means for supplying commands.

[Embodiment of the Invention] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a system including an automatic execution processing device for interactive programs according to the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an automatic execution processing device for interactive programs, to which a display device 2 and an external storage device 3 are connected.

Further, the interactive program automatic execution processing device 1 is connected to a CPU (microprocessor) 4 of the system.

Note that the external storage device 3 is composed of a plurality of magnetic disks 31, a plurality of magnetic tapes 32, and the like.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained according to the flowchart shown in FIG. When the CPU 4 starts executing the user program, it activates the interactive program automatic execution processing device 1. This interactive program automatic execution processing device 1 performs the operations shown in the flowchart of FIG. That is, first, in step 101, it is determined whether the request is a data input request or an output request to the system.

If it is a data output request, the process goes to step 102, where it is determined whether the display device 2 is available for use. If it is usable, the data is displayed on the display device 2 in step 103, and the process proceeds to step 104.

In step 104, it is determined whether or not there is an external storage device 3 for output. If there is, in step 105, the output data and the command for the same are stored in the external storage device 3 for output, and the process is terminated. If it is determined in step 104 that there is no output external storage device 3, the process ends here. Further, if it is determined in step 102 that the display device 2 cannot be used, step 106
, and here it is determined whether or not there is an external storage device 3 for output. If there is an output external storage device 3, the process goes to step 105; if not, error handling is performed in step 107, and the process ends.

Step 101. If it is determined that it is a data input request, the process goes to step 108, where it is determined whether or not the input external storage device 3 is present. If there is, the input data is read from the input external storage device 3'b1 in step 109, and the input data is read in from the display device 2 in step 110.
If it is usable, the process goes to step 111, and after displaying the data read from the external storage device 3 on the display device 2, the process goes to step 112. If it is determined in step 108 that there is no input external storage device 3, the process proceeds to step 113, where the human inputs data from a keyboard (not shown) while using the ice play device 2, and the process proceeds to step 112. Step 1
If the display device 2 is not usable in step 10, the process goes to step 112, and it is determined whether the external storage device 3 for output is present. If there is, in step 114, the data is stored in the output external storage device 3 in step 109 or step 113.
Finish the post-processing by storing the input data and commands handled by . If there is no external storage device 3 for output at step 112, the process ends here.

Eventually, if the CPU 4 executes the interactive program for the first time, step 101.102.103.104.1
The process of step 05 and the processes of steps 101, 108, and 113 are performed to store input data and commands in the external storage device 3 along the execution process of the program. Therefore,
In subsequent executions of the program, step 101
．． 108, 109, 110, and 111 are performed, data necessary for the CPLI 4 to execute the program is supplied from the input external storage device 3, and the interactive program is automatically executed. Note that when input data and commands along the program execution process are stored in the external storage device 3, this external storage device 3 is used for output, and the input data necessary for automatically executing the interactive program is stored in the external storage. When taking out data from the device 3, this external storage device 3 is used for input.

According to this embodiment, when the same interactive program is executed many times, if a human intervenes and enters input data, the data will be automatically saved from the external storage device 2 that has stored the data from the next time onwards. The program can be executed quickly and reliably by supplying the necessary data to the program. In addition, if you secure the external storage device 3 when executing the interactive program provided by the manufacturer, you can collect the history of input/output data performed on the Ub, so if a problem occurs, this collected data can be used. This can be used to help analyze problems, and also to quickly resolve problems and start up the system.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the automatic execution processing of an interactive program of the present invention, when an interactive program is executed for the first time, data input by a human is stored, and the above program is executed from the next time onwards. When executing the program using the accumulated data, it is possible to automatically execute the interactive program quickly and reliably without writing input data each time the program is executed.
