Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate time and labor which change the data name at the transmission side and transmit it again by changing automatically the data name of a received text when the coincidence is obtained between the data name of said received text and the data name of a stored text. CONSTITUTION:When a text having a data name 'XYZ' is received by a receiving means 2, a data name comparison means 3 compares the name 'XYZ' with the data name of the text fetched within a temporary storage means 5. If the coincidence is obtained between both names, the data name 'XYZ' of the text fetched in the means 5 is changed automatically to a data name 'XYZalpha', for example, by a data name changing means 4. This new data name 'XYZalpha' undergoes comparison again through the means 4. It is confirmed that no data name exists within a storage means 1 since the data names stored in the means 1 are all different from the name 'XYZalpha'. Then the text stored in the means 5 is stored in the means 1 together with the new data name.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an information processing device having a data receiving function.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, information processing apparatuses that can exchange data via telephone lines have come on the market. for example,
Modem text entered and edited on a certain terminal, such as in a word processor.

In some cases, it is possible to transfer text to another terminal via a telephone line using an acoustic coupler or the like, and to receive text input and edited on another terminal at the terminal. Furthermore, when sending and receiving text, it is common to assign a data name to the text and transfer it together with this data name.

By the way, if the data name of the received text and the data name of the text already stored inside the storage device are the same name, and if you try to store it inside the storage device with the same data name, the data name inside the storage device will be deleted. Either delete the stored text with the same data name and save only the newly received text, or discard the received text, or if text with the same data name already exists in the storage device. The operator was warned that the

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in the conventional system, (1) Text already stored in the storage device disappears against the operator's will.

(2) Newly received texts are lost.

(3) After resetting the data name on the sending side, the sending operation must be performed again.

There were some problems.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing device equipped with a data receiving function that can solve these problems all at once.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an information processing apparatus equipped with a data receiving function according to the present invention includes a data receiver (m means) for receiving text to which a data name is given, data name comparison means for comparing the data name of the received text with the data name of the text previously stored inside the storage device; and the data name comparison means compares the data name of the received text with the data name of the text stored inside the storage device. and data name changing means for changing the data name of the received text to another data name when the data name of the received text matches the data name of the received text.

Effect With the above configuration, the information processing device equipped with the data receiving function of the present invention does not require any special processing even if the data name of the received text data is the same as the data name of the text already stored in the storage device. Also, without any operation,
Any text will not be lost (and can be stored within the storage device).

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the main parts of an information processing apparatus having a data receiving function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a readable/writable storage means that can hold a plurality of texts assigned data names. Reference numeral 2 denotes a receiving means that can receive text to which a data name has been assigned from the outside. 3 is a data name comparing means for comparing the data name of the received text and the data name of the text already existing in the storage device 1; 4 is the data name comparing means 3 that determines that the same data name exists; This is data name changing means for changing the data name of the received text. 5 is a temporary storage means for storing the data name received from the receiving means 2 and the text to which the data name is attached. Further, 6 is a central control unit (CPU) that controls the operation of each of the units 1 to 5 above.

Although the storage means 1 and the temporary storage means 5 are separated for the sake of explanation, it goes without saying that the temporary storage means 5 can be shared by the storage means 1.

Regarding the information processing apparatus having the data reception function of the present embodiment configured as described above, the operation of importing received text will be explained in detail below with reference to FIG.

Now, suppose there are three texts with the data names "ABC", "XYZ", and "Aiue" in the storage means 2, and the data name of the text received by the receiving means 2 this time is "XYZ-( (b) The data name comparison means 4 sequentially fetches the data names from the storage means 2 according to the counter, and stores them in the temporary storage means 5.
(Step a).

b, c).

(b) If the data names do not match as a result of the comparison,
Update the counter and move on to the process of fetching the data name of the next text. (In this example, first, “ABC” and “XY”
Z" are compared, and since they do not match, the counter is updated.) (Steps d and e) (c) If the names match as a result of the comparison, the data name changing means 4 stores the names in the temporary storage means 5. Forcibly rewrite the data name of the text stored in the file (step f).
In this example, "XYZ" in the storage means 1 and the temporary storage means 5
Since they match when compared, the data name "XYZ" of the text in the temporary storage means 5 is changed to
Automatically changes to Zα°. (At this time, the method of changing the data name must be agreed upon in advance (it goes without saying that it can be done arbitrarily) (d) Next, change the data name of the changed text in the temporary storage means 5 to the new data. As the name, execute again from (a).

(E) Since the data name of the text in the storage means 2 is completely different from the data name "XYZα" of the text in the temporary storage means 5, only the counter is updated layer by layer, and the data name to be fetched in the storage device 1 is not updated. (Become.

(v) Thereafter, the text in the temporary storage means 5 is stored together with the new data name in the storage means 1 according to the count value by the counter. (Step g) Effects of the Invention As has been made clear from the above explanation, the information processing device equipped with the data receiving function of the present invention can distinguish between the data name of the received text and the data of the text stored in the storage device. By automatically changing the data name of the received text when the names match, the contents of the text stored in the storage device may change without realizing it, or errors may occur such as the same data name existing. This can save you the trouble of changing the data name at the transmitting station and retransmitting it.

Further, in particular, in the present invention, by making the data name after the change relatively similar to the data name before the change, the effect becomes even more significant.
