[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a multi-screen input processing method, and in particular, in PFD processing, when the host side is processing data input using the first screen, data is input using the second screen. This made it possible to do so.

[Conventional technology]

The PFD uses a display terminal in the TSS method to develop a program, and can perform operations necessary for program development, such as updating a source program, using a menu displayed on the display screen.

In this case, the display screen can be divided into two parts, and the functions of the PFD can be used independently of each other, and it is also possible to have a full-screen editor function and to assign commands to function keys.

A conventional case in which program development processing is performed using PFD will be explained with reference to FIG.

(2) First, the operator displays a processing screen on the front surface of the display of the terminal device, and inputs commands by operating the program function (PF) keys for 10 pages depending on the processing.

■ After entering the required command, press ENT.
ER) key to request processing from the PFD processing unit on the host side.

■ The PFD processing unit locks (LOCK) the screen to make it unusable so that the input commands are not changed.
This will cause the display to become unusable.

(2) The PFD processing unit analyzes commands for processing requested by the surface and executes the processing.

(2) When this process is completed, the PFD processing unit releases the lock on the display.

- The PFD processing unit displays a completion notification on the display along with the processing results.

- Seeing this, the user issues a screen switching request to the PFD processing unit to control the back screen.

(2) In response to this switching request, the PFD processing unit once again notifies the terminal of lock LOCK to control the screen and locks the screen.

(2) The PFD processing unit performs processing such as reading out the screen to be displayed on the requested back screen.

[Phase] When this process is completed, the PFD processing unit releases the lock.

■ The PFD processing unit displays a processing screen on the back screen in response to a screen switching request.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, in such a conventional method, although two screens, the front and back screens, can be used for the display, as shown in the above
There is a problem in that only one screen can be used for processing when operating the T and PA keys, resulting in a waiting period.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by
A. It provides a multi-screen input processing method that allows the use of both front and back screens even when the ENT key is operated.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a screen control table 1 on the host side, as shown in FIG. The input data for the screen and the screen control table 1 are respectively stored separately. For example, by inputting predetermined items from the keyboard 6 on the processing screen displayed on the front surface 4-0 of the display 4, and operating the ENT key, the input data on the front surface 4-0 is transferred to the terminal processing section 4. When transmitted to the host, the host identifies and holds these input data as input data from the surface. Then, on the terminal device, input can be made to the processing screen output from the screen file 3 and displayed on the front surface 4-1.

In the host, the CPU 2 can correctly extract the data input to the front surface from this screen control table 1 and perform the necessary processing. When the processing is completed, a message indicating the completion of the processing is displayed on a part of the surface as shown at 4-0', and the user is notified of this.

[Effect]

This allows simultaneous processing using the front and back screens, making it possible to effectively utilize the terminal device.
