Mobile device financial watch software update tag device and method

The present invention relates to a mobile device, and more particularly to a data update marking device and method for a mobile device financial watch software.

The mobile device financial software relies on the Internet (Data Network, also known as "data transmission connection") to transmit data (Data), and the network protocol used by the financial watch software network protocol includes Both HTTP and TCP, HTTP is a type of "Connectionless Network Protocol". As the name implies, Connectionless means that the network does not stay connected, that is, the network connection is terminated immediately after the data transmission is completed. Some of the mobile devices used in the mobile device software use this HTTP as the network connection protocol because the network does not maintain the connection characteristics, and the power consumption of the network connection is low. The HTTP device is used to automatically update the data of the mobile device software, and a one-time HTTP network connection is established to the server at a fixed time. The fixed time can be set in the program, for example: 5 seconds / 10 seconds / 15 seconds / 20 seconds / 30 seconds / 1 minute. If the network connection adopts the HTTP protocol and there is no fixed time automatic update, the user is required. Update the data manually. TCP is a type of "Connection-Oriented Network Protocol" (also referred to as "Connection-Oriented Network Protocol"). Its characteristic is that after the network connection is established, it remains connected until one party terminates. Connected. Generally, the program that uses TCP Socket to implement network connection is also such a communication protocol. The power consumption of this TCP connection method is larger than that of the HTTP method (that is, the TCP connection method consumes more power).

When the mobile device financial watch software adopts the TCP communication protocol, the data update speed is fast because the system keeps the connection state and transmits the quote information at any time. When the quotation information changes, it is updated individually, that is, the number of quotation information updated at the same time is small, but the number of data updates is large. For example, there are ten items of self-selected products in the self-selected quotation, and there are 11 other quotation information in addition to the stock name (highest, lowest, transaction, single quantity, total amount, buy, sell, open, yesterday, ups and downs). And the amplitude), and the information is updated every half second. If the average quotation information is updated once every minute, there will be a total of "120" updates in one minute, and the average number of quotations per update will be "1". When the mobile device financial watch software adopts the HTTP protocol, the data update speed is slow because it takes a fixed time to update the data. When there is a change in the quotation information, it will be updated until the next update time, that is, the number of quotation information updated at the same time is large, but the number of data updates is small, which is exactly the opposite of the above TCP method. For example, the above-mentioned same number of optional products and quotation information are used. If an HTTP communication protocol is used, the financial watch software updates the information every ten seconds, and there are "6" updates in one minute, and the average update is every update. The number of quoted information is "20" items.

Since the TCP communication protocol is used, the number of quotation information for each update of the mobile device financial software is small, so it is easier to specifically indicate the reason for each update. On the contrary, due to the adoption of the HTTP protocol, the number of quotation information updated every time the mobile device software is updated, especially when the update frequency is lower (that is, the longer the update interval), the more the quotation information is updated. The HTTP communication protocol is not shown in the mobile device financial software. The following is a description of the mobile device financial software for the HTTP protocol.

Please refer to the 1A, 1B, and 1C diagrams, which are the schematic diagrams of the screen before the update of the self-selected quotation view (View). The legend is based on the mobile device style running Android. It shows that the quotation information 14 of the financial quotation software 10 self-selected quotation view 12 provides information on a plurality of financial products (including stock name, transaction price, ups and downs, amplitude, maximum, minimum, opening and yesterday's receipt). The horizontal scroll 16 below the self-selected quotation view 12 is used to indicate the relative position of the quotation information 14 in the screen, and the horizontal scroll 16 can be set to be displayed or hidden during actual operation. For example, the horizontal scroll 16 of Figure 1A is located at the far left, and the screen represents the leftmost quote information 14 (including the stock name, the transaction price, the ups and downs, and the amplitude of 4 fields); the horizontal scroll 16 of the 1B chart is located in the middle. The representative screen presents the middle part of the quotation information 14 (including the stock name, the highest, the lowest and the opening 4 fields); and the horizontal scroll 16 of the 1C figure is located at the far right, representing the rightmost quotation information 14 (including the stock) Name, minimum, opening and 4 fields received yesterday). The user can query the quotation information 14 of each screen of the self-selected quotation view 12 by sliding left/right with the touch mode to switch the information of each part of the quotation information 14 to be displayed. Here, the three maps are used as the benchmark (that is, "before the data update" is used as a control group) to facilitate the comparison of the data before and after the data update.

Please refer to the 2A, 2B, and 2C diagrams, which are the schematic diagrams of the updated quotation view (View) data. A comparison of the 2A (after the update of the information) and the 1A (before the data update) shows that the difference between the quotation information and the "trading price", "up and down" and "amplitude" of "TSMC", "UMC" The "trading price", "up and down" and "amplitude", and "selling price", "ups and downs" and "amplitude" of "China Steel" are the updated items of this update. Comparing Figure 2B (after data update) with Figure 1B (before data update), it can be seen that the difference between the quoted information 14 is the "highest" of "UMC" and the "lowest" of "China Steel". The difference is the update item of the data update. Comparing 2C (after data update) with 1C (before data update), we can see that the difference between the quotation information 14 and the "minimum" of "China Steel" is the update item of the data update. . It can be easily seen from the three figures that the technique of adopting the HTTP connection method does not have a notification of the information update (Notation) for the user to identify, so the user has no way of knowing the update item after each data update.

Figure 3 is a block diagram of the function system of the device. This illustration shows only the modules of related functions, and the other modules are omitted. It shows that the technique of adopting the HTTP connection method includes the network connection module 18, the data receiving module 20, and the quotation module 22. Among them, the network connection module 18 is responsible for establishing a network connection by using an HTTP protocol. The data receiving module 20 is responsible for receiving the financial product quotation information transmitted by the server to the mobile device. The quotation module 22 is a general term, which generally includes: a self-selected quotation module and a stock quotation module. The quotation module generates a quotation view based on the financial product quotation information, for example, the self-selected quotation module (ie, one of the quotation modules 22) generates the self-selected quotation view 12.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of the user operating the learning device. This process describes a common user operating situation, that is, the user views the quotation information and updates the project after executing the software. Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2C and FIG. 3 together with the specific operation flow after the program is started to illustrate the prior art operation flow, including The following steps:

Step 101: Execute the financial watch software; the user executes the financial watch software 10 on the mobile device.

Step 102: Establish a network connection; when the software is turned on, the network connection module 18 establishes a network connection by using an HTTP protocol.

Step 103: Switch to the self-selected quotation view with the menu; when the network connection is established, the user can touch the screen operation menu to enter the self-selected quotation view 12. The self-selected quotation view 12 is generated by the self-selected quotation module (ie, one of the quotation modules 22) based on the financial product quotation information, as shown in FIG. 1A.

Step 104: View the quote information; after the user selects to enter the self-selected quote view 12, the touch left/right slide can be used to query the fields of each part of the quote information 14 as shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C. .

Step 105: Data update; since the technology adopts the HTTP communication protocol, the network connection module 18 automatically establishes a network connection at a fixed time (for example, 5 seconds/10 seconds/20 seconds/30 seconds), and then The data receiving module 20 starts to receive the quotation information transmitted by the server, and passes the selected quotation module (one of the quotation module 22) to process the received data to generate the self-selected quotation view 12, that is, complete the data update, such as 2A, 2B, and 2C.

Step 106: Check the quotation information update item. After the data is updated, since there is no information update mark for the user to identify, the user cannot directly know which information has been updated by visual inspection, and can only update it by memory. What is the project.

The above operation process is based on a touch-type mobile device. The operation flow of the push-button mobile device is the same, and the physical touch button is used instead of the touch screen operation, so it is not depicted.

In summary, the prior art mobile device financial watch software fails to indicate the update item of the offer information in the offer view for the user to recognize, and the user can only judge the update item by memory. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a device update marking device and method for the mobile device financial watch software, and provide a data update mark in the quotation view after each data update, so that the user can easily recognize the user's operation. demand.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a data update marking device for a financial watch software, which is applied to a mobile device having a screen, the device comprising: a network connection module for establishing an HTTP communication protocol network connection; a data receiving module for receiving financial product quotation information transmitted by the server to the mobile device; a quotation module for generating a quotation view according to the financial product quotation information; and a data update marking module for The updated item is checked after each data update and a data update flag is generated to indicate the updated item in the offer view.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for updating a mark of a financial watch software, which is applied to a mobile device, comprising the steps of: executing a financial watch software; establishing an HTTP connection protocol network connection; switching to a quotation view; Data update; an update flag is set in the update item in the quotation view.

The detailed features and advantages of the present invention are set forth in the Detailed Description of the Detailed Description of the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> </ RTI> </ RTI> <RTIgt; The objects and advantages associated with the present invention can be readily understood by those skilled in the art.

The following illustration is taken as an example of a touch-enabled mobile device device running Android. The present invention is applied to other touch-type and push-button mobile devices, and the spirit and features are the same, and thus are not depicted or described.

Please refer to FIG. 5 for a block diagram of the functional system of the device of the present invention. The invention is mainly directed to the addition of a data update mark module 24 to the financial watch software 10. The data update tag module 24 checks the updated item after each data update, and sets an update flag in the update item for the user to recognize.

Please refer to FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B and FIG. 6C, which are schematic diagrams of the screen after updating the self-selected quotation view data according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the pictures of the first picture, the first picture, and the first picture are updated. group. In the embodiment of the present invention, after the data is updated, an update flag 26 is set in the updated item, so that the user can easily recognize which information has been updated. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention (after the data is updated), FIG. 6A and the control group (before the data update) are compared with each other, and it can be observed that among the three items of "TSMC", "UMC" and "Zhonggang" Quotation information 14 "trading price", "up and down" and "amplitude" are all updated. Therefore, in addition to the quotation information 14 "trading price", "up and down" and "amplitude" among the three, an update mark 26 is set, and an update mark 26 is also set in the "share name" field of the three to indicate All quotes 14 ("selling price", "ups and downs" and "amplitude") in the financial products screen have all been updated. Comparing the results of the comparison between the 6th and the 1st drawings of the embodiment of the present invention, it is known that both the "highest" quotation information of "Liandian" and the "lowest" quotation information 14 of "China Steel" have been updated. . Therefore, an update mark 26 is set in each of the "Maximum" and "Zhonggang" quotation information 14 "Minimum" of "Liandian", due to the quotation information of "Liandian" and "Zhonggang" on this screen. Not fully updated (only one field update), therefore, an update flag 26 is not set in the "Share Name" field of both. Comparing the 6C chart of the embodiment of the present invention with the 1C chart of the control group, it can be seen that only the "lowest" quotation information 14 of "Zhonggang" has been updated, so the "minimum" setting of the quotation information 14 of "Zhonggang" As an update mark 26, since the quote information 14 of "China Steel" on this screen has not been fully updated (only one field is updated), an update mark is not set in the "Share Name" field of "Zhonggang" 26.

Figure 7 is a flow chart showing the operation of the embodiment of the present invention. This process is the same as the user operation scenario of FIG. 4 of the prior art, that is, after the software is executed, the user views the quote information and updates the project. Please refer to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C, FIG. 5, FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, and FIG. 6C together with the specific operation flow after the program is started to explain the operation of the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 202: Establish a network connection; when the software is turned on, the network connection module 18 establishes a network connection by using an HTTP protocol.

Step 203: Switch to the self-selected quotation view with the menu; after the network connection is established, the user can touch the screen operation menu to enter the self-selected quotation view 12. The self-selected quotation view 12 is generated by the self-selected quotation module (ie, one of the quotation modules 22) based on the financial product quotation information, as shown in FIG. 1A.

Step 204: View the quote information; after the user selects to enter the self-selected quote view 12, the touch left/right slide can be performed to query the fields of each part of the quote information 14 as shown in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C. .

Step 205: Data update; since the familiar technology adopts the HTTP communication protocol, the network connection module 18 automatically establishes the network connection within a fixed time (for example, 5 seconds/10 seconds/20 seconds/30 seconds). Then, the data receiving module 20 starts to receive the quotation information transmitted by the server. Next, the data update tag module 24 checks the updated item and generates an update flag 26 for marking the updated item, and finally passes the optional quotation module (one of the quotation modules 22) to process the data to generate an update flag. The self-selected quotation view 12, that is, the completion of the data update, as shown in FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, and FIG. 6C.

Step 206: Viewing the quotation information update item; after the data is updated, since the update flag 26 is provided for the user to identify after the data is updated, the user can directly recognize which information has been updated, no longer only It is possible to judge the update item by memory.

The update mark 26 of the above embodiment of the present invention is exemplified by an underline indicating the text/data under the update item. The update mark 26 of the embodiment of the present invention may also use the different colors of text/data, different symbols, different frame frames, different frame background colors, and direct text marks to update the mark 26.
