Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain output of an answer message to a reception-only terminal without changing the question-answer processing system, by using a transaction operation to make inquiries about the center answer output to the reception-only terminal in substitute for an inquiry terminal equipment. CONSTITUTION:An inquiry terminal equipment FBT sends a substitute inquiry message 9 of a reception-only terminal RO to a terminal controller TEC. The TEC receives the message 9 sends an inquiry message 11 to a center in response to an artificial answer message 10 of the FBT and on supposition of an inquiry of the RO in a designated RO address. Thus the center judges that an inquiry is received from the RO and delivers an answer message 12 to the RO.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a terminal control processing method, and particularly to a center processing system in which an inquiry response processing method is used between a center and a terminal control device (hereinafter abbreviated as TCE).

The present invention relates to a terminal control processing method suitable for connecting a reception-only terminal device (hereinafter abbreviated as RO) to a TCE.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when performing inquiry response processing between a center and a TCE, the TCE once receives a message from an input/output device connected to the TCE, and transmits it to the center or other input/output device according to its destination. In that case, in the conventional technology, for example, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-8047, a code is provided in the message communicated from the input/output device to the TCE to identify whether it is an input/output device or a center, and the input/output device is You can choose where you want to send the message.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, with the above-mentioned conventional technology, it is not possible to control the message sent by the input/output device in combination with the destination of the reply message.

That is, it is impossible for an input/output device to send a reply to another input/output device instead of to itself.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve these problems.

In a center processing system that uses an inquiry response processing method between the center and TCE, the conventional inquiry terminal device (hereinafter abbreviated as FBT) can output answers by combining and controlling the destinations of reply messages without changing the center processing system. The aim is to reduce the time occupied by the system and improve the overall system throughput.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the terminal processing method of the present invention uses R
When O is connected to TCE, by preparing a transaction operation that allows FBT to inquire on behalf of the center response output to RO, if this operation is performed, FBT8 will respond from TCE with a pseudo-reply by returning TCE, Moreover, by regarding the entrusted inquiry as an inquiry from the RO and transmitting it from the TCE to the center, the center outputs a reply message to the RO, and the RO can be maintained without changing the inquiry response processing method.

[Saku tears]

In order for the center processing system to output a reply to the RO,
It is generally necessary to send an inquiry from the RO. Since the RO is not equipped with an input mechanism and is a terminal device consisting of an output mechanism (printer), it is not possible to send inquiry messages. , and sends a proxy inquiry to the center as if it were an inquiry from the RO. As a result, the center
A reply message can be output to the RO.

In the present invention, by preparing a transaction operation that can query the center response output to the RO on behalf of the FBT, without changing the query response processing method,
Output a reply message to the RO.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

FIG. 1 is a sequence diagram of inquiry response message processing according to the present invention. FB when contacting RO on your behalf
In response to T's inquiry message 9, the TCE responds with a return reply message 10, and sends an inquiry message 11, which looks like an RO inquiry, to the center at the designated RO address. The center assumes that there is an inquiry from the RO, and outputs a reply message 12 to the RO.

In addition, FBT responds to the inquiry message 9 with T.
Since the inquiry response is completed by receiving the return reply message 10 from the CE, other inquiry operations can be performed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram of an operation screen for performing a trading operation according to the present invention.

The operation screen 13 at the time of a proxy inquiry is used to receive a reply message from the center to the RO in response to an inquiry message sent from the TCE that looks like an RO inquiry. It is assumed that it is possible to specify the address 14 of the RO that is prepared for TCE or FBT and to which the reply message is to be output.

The FBT inquiry response to the operation screen 13 is
The process is completed when T receives a return reply message on TCH.

FIG. 3 is the simplest system configuration diagram of the present invention.

The center 1 transmits T to the modem 2 via the communication line 3.
Connected to CE4. TCE4 contains FBT5 and R
O6 is connected.

FIG. 4 is a basic sequence diagram of inquiry response processing according to the present invention. Here, a case is shown in which proxy inquiries are not used as shown in FIG.

The processing method of the center is that when the TCE receives the inquiry message 7 from the FBT, the TCE sends the message to the FBT.
A reply message 8 can be output. Unless the inquiry message 7 is received, the answer message 8 cannot be unilaterally output.

FIG. 5 is an operation flowchart of the terminal control device of the present invention. In FIG. 5, first, an inquiry request from a terminal device is received, and the terminal device N o is received (10
0). Next, it is confirmed whether or not this inquiry is a proxy inquiry (101).

If the inquiry is not a proxy inquiry, the inquiry message is received (102), the terminal control device number and the center destination are added (103), and the inquiry message is sent to the center (104). When receiving the reply message from the center (105), it transmits the reply message to the terminal device (106).

In the case of a proxy inquiry, receive the reception-only terminal device number (107), the locus number 2 item No. to which you would like to output the reply message from the center, and the receiving printer number (10 B>.Furthermore, the proxy inquiry 109), and sends a pseudo response to the terminal device that performed the
and the center destination (110), and sends the inquiry message to the center (111). When receiving the reply message from the center (112), it transmits the reply message to the reception-only terminal device (+13).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a receiving-only terminal device can be connected to a central processing system using an inquiry response processing method without changing the processing method. In other words, by distributing the center response output to the terminal devices, the output time previously occupied by one inquiry terminal device for outputting answers can be used for other normal inquiry response transactions, and the overall system Fig. 1 is an inquiry response message processing sequence diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an operation screen diagram of an FBT that performs a transaction operation according to the present invention, and Fig. 3 is the simplest example of the present invention.
