Abstract

PURPOSE:To cancel the trouble of an operation at the time of starting of a terminal or the operation at the time of the restoration of a fault by continuing the on-line operation of the last time according to reproduced information at the time of the interruption of the on-line operation in a case that the terminating state of the on-line operation used in the last is decided to be normal. CONSTITUTION:A deciding means 2 decides the starting method of a terminal 6 according to a starting method 114 in terminal starting information 111. In the case of 'continuation' in this decision, it is decided whether the terminating state of the on-line operation of the last time was normal or abnormal according to an operation terminating state 116, and in the case of 'abnormal', a terminal controlling means 3 reproduces the operation at the time of the interruption of the operation according to operation reproducing information 333 stored in an operation interrupted time information storage part 33. Next, at the same time that a displaying part 32 displays a picture at the point of time of interruption on the terminal 6 through a communication program 7, the terminal controlling means 3 starts the on-line operation of the operation 113. Thus, the operation at the time of starting or the restoring the fault is made easy.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a terminal activation method in online data processing.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in this type of terminal activation method, a host computer assigns a specific online task to each terminal in advance and starts it automatically, or selects and starts an online task at the request of the terminal user. It was one of the methods.

Which of the two startup methods to use for each terminal is determined in advance on the host computer, and the terminal user cannot dynamically change this when using the terminal.

Furthermore, in both of the above two startup methods, when a computer system failure or communication system failure occurs, it is necessary to start up the terminal after the failure is recovered and perform an operation to restore the online business.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional terminal activation method described above, the terminal is started according to a predetermined activation method for each terminal, so the terminal user has to dynamically change the activation method when using the device. I can't.

In addition, if the terminal is used only for specific online tasks, it will start automatically, but if the terminal is used by selecting online tasks at the request of the terminal user, it will not start automatically. Time, or a total of 3! However, when recovering from interruptions in online operations due to machine system failures or communications system failures, terminal users have to start up their terminals each time, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, since it is not possible to instruct whether to continue or cancel the interrupted online work until after the failure has been recovered, it is even more troublesome when the online work is canceled.

Conventional terminal startup methods had the following problems.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to issue an instruction to change the startup method of the terminal during online business use after startup of the terminal, and to determine how to continue when the startup method is interrupted due to a computer system failure or communication system failure. To provide a terminal start-up method that makes it possible to select instructions for canceling or canceling for each online task.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the terminal startup method provided by the present invention includes a startup method for online business from a terminal,
A terminal information management means that stores the name of the online business to be started, the method of continuing the online business when the business is interrupted, and the end status of the last online business used as terminal startup information for each terminal, and information input by the terminal user. a registration means for updating the terminal activation information stored in the terminal information management means; a determination means for determining the terminal activation information stored in the terminal information management means; and the determination means determines that the startup method for online business from the terminal is automatic startup, and the method for continuing online business at the time of business interruption is m-continuous, and the number of times the online business has been used is The present invention is characterized by comprising a terminal control means for continuing the previous online business based on reproduction information at the time when the online business was interrupted when it is determined that the end state of the business is normal.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a terminal activation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a terminal information management means, 2 is a determination means, 3 is a terminal control means, 4 is a registration means, 5 is a terminal activation means, 6 is a terminal, and 7 is a communication program.

The terminal information management means 1 stores terminal activation information 111 in the terminal information storage section 11 for every terminal 6 connected to the host computer. As shown in FIG. 2, the @ terminal startup information 111 includes a terminal identification name 112, a business name 113 of the online business to be automatically started, a method 114 for starting the online business. Work 'a when there is a work that was previously interrupted
It consists of a continuation method 115 and a previous service completion state 116.

The terminal control means 3 includes a monitoring unit 31 that monitors whether communication between the terminal 6 and the host computer is possible, and a business interruption information storage unit 33 that stores reproduction information at the time of online business interruption for each terminal 6. and a display unit 32 that displays restart information at the point of interruption and online business startup information. As shown in FIG.
31. It consists of a job name 332 at the time of interruption and job reproduction information 333 necessary for reproducing the job.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of terminal startup processing in this embodiment.

When the terminal user starts the communication program 7 from the terminal 6 in order to perform online business, the terminal control means 3 receives the terminal start request from the terminal monitoring section 31 and sends the terminal information management means 1 from the terminal 6 to the terminal control means 3. Notifies that a startup request has been made.

Upon receiving this notification, the terminal information management means 1 retrieves the terminal activation information 111 corresponding to the terminal 6 that has requested activation from the terminal information storage section 11 and notifies it to the determination means 2 (step 101).

The determining means 2 refers to the contents of the notified terminal startup information 111, and if the last used job has not been completed normally, checks whether the information exists in the job interruption storage unit 33. (Step 102 >.

Next, the determining means 2 determines the activation method of the terminal 6 based on the activation method 114 in the terminal activation information 111 (step 103). If this determination indicates that the terminal has been activated by the terminal user, , is not subject to automatic activation, so it notifies the terminal control means 3 that the terminal activation request is based on instructions from the terminal user, and the terminal control means 3 displays the display unit 32.
The terminal 6 is notified of this via the terminal 6, and the process is terminated.

In the determination at step 103, if automatic startup is determined, then the business continuity method 115 is determined (step 104).

In this judgment, if it is canceled,
The registration means 4 uses the same terminal identification name 33 as the terminal identifier 112.
All the business name 332 and business reproduction information 333 corresponding to 1 are deleted from the business interruption information storage unit 33 (step 1
05).

Further, in the determination at step 104, if it is determined to continue, it is determined whether the termination status of the previous online transaction is normal or abnormal based on the transaction termination status 116 (step 106).

In this determination, if it is normal, the process proceeds to step 109; if it is abnormal, the terminal control means 3 uses the business reproduction information 333 stored in the business interruption information storage unit 33 to proceed to step 109. Then, the work at the time of interruption is reproduced (step 107).

Next, when the display unit 32 displays the screen at the time of interruption on the terminal 6 via the communication program 7, the terminal control means 3 simultaneously starts the online business with the business name 113 (step 10g).

Step 109 is the activation of an online business when failure recovery is not performed, and the terminal control means 3 uses the business name 113
, and the display section 32 displays this on the terminal 6 via the communication program 7.

As described above, the terminal startup process of this embodiment is performed.

Next, a process for updating the terminal activation information 111 by the operator will be described.

When the operator issues a request to update the terminal activation information 11 from the terminal 6, this update request is notified to the registration means 4 via the communication program 7.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of terminal activation information update processing in this embodiment.

The registration means 4 retrieves the terminal activation information 111 corresponding to the terminal 6 that has made the notified update request from the terminal information storage unit 11, and displays it on the terminal 6 via the communication program 7 as the terminal activation information 111 before the update. (step 201),
When the operator makes necessary inputs from the terminal 6, the registration means 4 updates the terminal activation information 111 in the terminal information storage section 11 (step 202), and the contents of the updated terminal activation information 111 are used for terminal control. The display unit 32 of the means 3 displays the update result on the terminal 6 via the communication program 7 (step 203).

As described above, the terminal activation information update process of this embodiment is performed.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to execute a plurality of online tasks on each terminal, and automatic start-up of online tasks can be performed. Furthermore, the operator can freely change the terminal activation information. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the troublesome operations at the time of terminal startup and failure recovery.

Furthermore, since you can instruct matter 01 on what to do after failure recovery,
This has the effect of improving operability and reliability.
