Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain sure automatic log-on regardless of the number of input request character strings by providing a start character number storage section counting characters received in a communication terminal equipment until a preset number and a line feed code discrimination section initializing the said storage section by the line feed code reception. CONSTITUTION:A character string sent from a host equipment via a communication line in the automatic log-on setting mode is received by a reception section 2 and stored sequentially in a reception character string storage section 5 in time series. While the value of a start character number storage section 11 is smaller than the preset number, the strings are added sequentially in the start character number storage section 11, the received character is sent to the line feed code discrimination section 11 at the same time and when the character is a line feed code, the start character number storage section 11 is initialized. The newest character strings of the number stored in the storage section 11 in the terminal equipment stores in a start character string storage section 6 from the storage section 5 and the reply character string corresponding to the start character string stored in the storage section 6 is sent to the host equipment.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a communication terminal device that is connected to a communication line and is capable of transmitting and receiving data via the communication line.

Conventional technology Conventionally, communication terminal devices that can connect to communication lines and send and receive data have a function that allows them to automatically execute sending and receiving procedures according to pre-stored character strings (hereinafter referred to as automatic logon). There were some with

By the way, the automatic logon setting procedure for the above-mentioned communication terminal device is such that the user manually sets the start character string and the transmission character string with a corresponding relationship based on the procedure executed in the past. something is known.

However, in the above-mentioned system, the activation character string and the transmission character string have to be associated with each other and both must be manually input, making automatic logon setting troublesome.

Therefore, the present inventors have invented a communication terminal device that can automatically set a startup character string and store and execute an automatic logon procedure by simply inputting a transmission character string once.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A conventional example of a communication terminal device invented by the present inventors will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional communication terminal device. In the figure, 1 is a mode switching unit that switches between automatic logon setting mode and automatic logon operation mode;
2 is a receiving unit that receives a character string arriving from a host device or the like via a communication line; 3 is a transmitting unit that transmits a character string to the host device or the like via a communication line; 4 is an operation unit that inputs characters to be sent; 5 is a received character string storage unit that temporarily stores the character string received by the receiving unit 2; 6 is a startup character string storage unit that stores a startup character string to be compared with the received character string; 7 is a received character string; 8 is the character string comparison unit 7 that compares the start character string stored in the start character string storage unit with the start character string stored in the start string storage unit.
A transmission character string storage unit 9 outputs a transmission character string to the transmission unit 3 when both character strings match; A predetermined number of characters are extracted in order and stored in the activation character string storage unit 6, and the character string input from the operation unit 3 is associated with the activation character string to be stored in the activation character string storage unit and transmitted. This is a control unit that controls the character string storage unit 8 to store it.

The operation of the conventional communication terminal device configured as described above will be described below.

In the explanation of the operation, it is assumed that this communication terminal device is connected to a host device via a communication line.

First, a description will be given of the case where the communication terminal device is switched to the automatic logon setting mode by the mode switching section 1.

In this mode, character strings sent from the host device via the communication line are received by the receiving section 2 and sequentially stored in the received character string storage section 5 in chronological order. The user identifies the input request characters sent from the host device and presses the
and sends an appropriate response string to the host device. At this time, the host device is generally in a data standby state, and no character string arrives at the receiving unit 2.

The control unit 7 detects the characters input by the user from the operation unit 3 and extracts the number of characters preset in the system from among the character strings already stored in the received character string storage unit 5, starting from the latest one. , automatically stored in the activation character string storage section 6. Next, the transmission character string input by the user is automatically stored in the transmission character string storage section 8 in a one-to-one correspondence with the activation string stored in the activation string storage section 5. Make me remember. Then, the host device detects the above transmission character string and transmits the next message.

In response to the message, the user inputs the next response character string from the operation section 4 and sends it to the host device via the transmitting section 3 and the communication line. By repeating the above steps as many times as necessary, automatic logon settings are completed.

Next, the operation after the mode switching unit 1 switches the mode to the automatic logon operation mode will be described.

First, a line is established to the host device and a transmission signal is sent, and a message is returned from the host device. When the activation character string set in the automatic logon setting mode described above is detected in the message, a transmission character string corresponding to the activation character string is selected from the transmission string storage unit 8, and the transmission unit sends it via the communication line. and sends it to the host device.

The host device then sends the following message.

Automatic logon is performed by repeating the above series of operations.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional communication terminal device as described above, the following problems occur. An example of this will be described below with reference to an example of patent information retrieval using PATOLIS-INPADOC, which is provided by JAPIO (Japan Patent Information Organization).

As an intermediate step in the operation of this service, the host device sends rPATOLIs-INPADOC5ERVICE as shown in Figure 3.
5TART (12345678) 85/101
01 1L:45:55J rPLEAsE" message is sent. In this message, the numbers in parentheses are not universal (, are the user code entered by the user, and are 85/101
01 represents October 1, 1985, and 11:45:
55 indicates that the start time of this service is 11:45:55 am. In addition, rPATOLIs-I

12345678) 85/10101 11:
After "45:55", a line break code is sent, so a line break is performed.

By the way, when an input from the operation unit 4 is detected and a predetermined number of characters are extracted in order from the latest characters stored in the received character string storage unit 5 and stored in the startup character string storage unit 6, the predetermined number of characters is, for example, 8 characters. In that case, '55PLEASEJ
Since this includes variable characters (55 in this example) that change each time an operation is performed, automatic logon will not be possible if these eight characters are stored in the startup character string storage section.

Also, if the predetermined number of characters is 2, the 2 of "SE"
The characters will be stored in the activation character string storage section. Then, when performing automatic logon, rPATOLIs-IN

When J is detected, the corresponding character string is sent, making automatic logon impossible.

Therefore, the present invention automatically varies the number of characters of the activation string stored in the activation string storage section.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the communication terminal device of the present invention includes an activation character count memory for counting the characters received by the receiving section up to a preset number in the conventional communication terminal device. The present invention has a configuration in which a line feed code determination unit is added, which initializes the activation character number storage unit based on the line feed code in the received character string.

Effect: With the above configuration, only the character string after the line feed code is stored in the activation character string storage unit as the activation character string, so that the conventional failure is eliminated.

A transmission character string storage unit 9 outputs a transmission character string to the input character string storage unit 9 which detects the input from the operation unit 4 and stores the characters in the activation character number storage unit 10 in order from the latest character stored in the reception character string storage unit 5. The transmission character string is extracted and stored in the activation character string storage unit 6, and the character string input from the operation unit 3 is associated with the activation character string to be stored in the activation character string storage unit 6. This is a control unit that controls the storage unit 8 to store the data.

In this mode, the character string sent from the host device via the communication line is received by the receiving unit 2 and stored in the received character string storage unit 5 in chronological order, and the value of the activation character number storage unit 5 is While it is smaller than a preset number, it is sequentially added to the activation character number storage section 10, and at the same time, the received character is sent to the line feed code determination section 11, and if it is a line feed code, the activation character number storage section 10 is initialized. The user identifies the input request character sent from the host device and operates the operation unit 4 to send an appropriate response character string to the host device. At this time, the host device generally waits for data. The receiving state is in the receiving state, and no character string arrives at the receiving unit 2.The control unit 7 detects the characters input by the user from the operation unit 3 and inputs the character string already stored in the received character string storage unit 5. Among them, the number of characters stored in the activation character number storage section 10 is taken out in order from the latest one and automatically stored in the activation character string storage section 6.Next, the transmission character string input by the user is retrieved. into the transmission character string storage unit 8, the activation character string storage unit 5
It is automatically stored in a one-to-one correspondence with the activation character string stored in the internal memory.

Then, the host device detects the above transmission character string and transmits the next message. In response to the message, the user inputs the next response character string from the operation section 4 and sends it to the host device via the transmitting section 3 and the communication line. By repeating the above steps as many times as necessary, automatic logon settings are completed.

Next, the operation after the mode switching unit 1 switches the mode to the automatic logon operation mode will be described.

First, connect a line to the host device and send a transmission signal, and a message will be returned from the host device.If the startup character string set in the automatic logon setting mode described above is detected in the message, A transmission character string corresponding to the activation character string is selected from the transmission character string storage section 8 and sent to the host device via the transmission section and the communication line.

The host device then sends the following message.

Automatic logon is performed by repeating the above series of operations.

Effects of the Invention As has been made clear from the above explanation, the communication terminal device of the present invention includes an activation character count storage unit that counts the characters received by the reception unit up to a preset number, and a line break in the received character string. By having a configuration that includes a line feed code determination unit that initializes the startup character count storage unit using a code, automatic logon can be set reliably regardless of the number of characters in the input request character string, and its practical effects There is something very big about it.
