Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the load of a software on a computer side by absorbing the differences in a sued code system, the expression form and the control form of data, etc., set by the manufacturing maker of a host computer on a terminal side. CONSTITUTION:At first a reception part 1 receives format control information A-C as the information 101 expressing the data form 100 which is going to be used on and after now from the host computer A side and an information discrimination mechanism 4 discriminates it to transmit to a format conversion mechanism 5. The format conversion mechanism 5 analyzes the structure and the attribute of a computer data form to generate the format control information 102 every kind of data AL1-ALn with considering the hardware-like character of a terminal in order that the information 102 is stored in a control information storage part 6 for format conversion. Afterwards, in case of receiving the data 100 from the computer, a data form conversion mechanism 7 searches the data terminal physical format control information 102 stored in the control information storage part 6 for format conversion with setting the computer ID'A' and the data ID'L1' as a key. Thus, the load of the software on the computer side can be reduced.
