The pro gram in the word setting memory 22 is defined by applying a code indicating the processing contents in each word relating to a corresponding slip.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an input processing device for inputting slip data and the like.

[Summary of the Invention] This invention provides at least one reflex word consisting of a plurality of words.
When inputting one minute of data, if the processing contents are defined in advance for each word, the processing defined for each word will be automatically executed sequentially and the data will be input. This is how it was done.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when inputting slip data using an input terminal, etc., a slip input program is started by inputting a command from a keyboard, and then data is sequentially input according to the contents of the program. I was going by that.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention J However, in order to be able to handle various input formats of vouchers, it is necessary to create various voucher input programs for each voucher, and furthermore, it is necessary to create various voucher input programs for each voucher. Since these types of slip input programs are written in a so-called programming language, they require a great deal of effort to create programs, making them difficult for general users to create, and also making it difficult to modify the programs.

An object of the present invention is to provide a versatile input processing device that can handle a variety of input formats without creating a complicated slip input program using a programming language.

[Means to solve the problem] The means of this invention are as follows.

The input means 1 (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1, the same applies hereinafter) is a keyboard or the like for inputting slip data and the like.

The data storage means 2 comprises at least l of a plurality of words.
This is a random access memory for inputting slip data that stores one minute of data.

The setting information storage means 3 is a random access memory or the like that stores setting information defining processing contents corresponding to a plurality of words.

The processing means 4 sequentially reads the setting information from the setting information storage means 3, and when the read setting information defines an input word indicating that word data is to be input from the input means 1, the processing means 4 enters a word data input standby state. In addition, when defining another processing word 1, word data is created by the processing.

The writing means 5 writes the created data created by the processing means 4 or the word data input from the input means 1 into the data storage means 2.

The output means 6 outputs the word data in the data storage means 2 by display, printing, communication, or the like.

[Work] The operation of the means of this invention is as follows.

When inputting slip data now, the setting information storage means 3
It is assumed that setting information for defining processing contents corresponding to a plurality of words is stored in advance.

In this state, the processing means 4 sequentially reads the setting information from the beginning of the setting information storage means 3.The setting information currently read from the setting information storage means 3 indicates that word data should be input from the input means 1. If it is an input word, the processing means 4 enters a word data input standby state.

Here, when word data is input from input means 1,
The writing means 5 writes the input word data into the data storage means 2.

Further, if the setting information read from the setting information storage means 3 is a processing word (for example, a calculation word, an index word, etc.), the processing means 4 performs processing according to the definition contents to create word data. This causes the writing means 5 to write this created data into the data storage means 2.

As a result of performing such an operation every time setting information is read from the setting information storage means 3, data input from the input means 1 or data created by the processing means 4 is written into the data storage means 2. For example, when data for one slip is written into the data storage means 2, the data in the setting information storage means 3 is outputted from the output means 6.

Therefore, by simply determining the processing content of each word, it is possible to easily handle various input formats such as slips, so there is no need to prepare a slip processing program written in a programming language. Therefore, it is possible to provide an input processing device with good versatility.

[Example] Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

Figure 4-2 is an external view of a hand-held input terminal. A keyboard 12 is provided on the front side of this terminal main body 11.
and a display panel 13 are provided, and a power switch PWSW is provided on the negative side. Here, the mode switch MDSW on the keyboard 12 selects an input mode, a transfer mode, and a registration mode in accordance with its switching position. Note that the above "input mode" is a mode for inputting slip data, and "transfer mode" is a mode for transferring input slip data to an external device (host computer, etc.).
The "registration mode" is a mode in which setting information defining the processing contents corresponding to each word forming the slip data is registered in a predetermined memory. In addition, on the keyboard 12, in addition to the numeric keypad AK, decimal point key BK, clear key CK, etc.
Word separator key DK, slip designation key EK, which is operated every time data for 1 to 1 minute is input, record separator key FK, which is operated every time data for 1 code is input, when all the slip data has been input. An input end key GK that is operated is provided. The display panel 13 also displays characters,
It is configured to include a word label display section 13-1 and a word data display section 13-2 for displaying numbers and the like in a dot matrix. Further, although not shown, a transmitter/receiver unit is provided on the back side of the terminal main body 11 for transmitting and receiving data with an external device using optical signals.

FIG. 3 is a block circuit diagram showing the basic configuration of this input terminal.

The input processing unit 21 controls the input processing of slip data according to a pre-stored slip data input processing program.

That is, the input processing unit 21 sequentially reads setting information that defines the processing content corresponding to each word of a predetermined slip preset in the word setting memory 22. In this case, the input processing unit 21 reads out the provisional product number (slip The designation information of the designated provisional product is read out from the word setting memory 22 by inputting the slip number indicating the type of . Here, when the setting information read from the word setting memory 22 defines that data should be input from the input section 23, the input processing section 21 enters a data input waiting state, and when defining other processing words. creates word data using a reference tool 24 or the like. Here, when the input processing unit 21 is in a data input waiting state, when a division command is input from the input unit 23 in response to the operation of the word division key DK,
The data in the input memory 25 that stores and holds the data sequentially input from the input unit 23 up to that point is incorporated as one word worth of data, and the input processing unit 21 inputs the input data taken in from the input memory 25. Or reference memory 2
4 is displayed on the display unit 26 and is also read into the data memory 27.

The reference memory 24 has index tables A, B, C, and D. In this embodiment, index table A indicates various sales destination names corresponding to sales light codes, and index table B corresponds to affiliation codes. The index table C stores various personnel names corresponding to the personnel code, and the index table D stores various product names corresponding to the product code. Furthermore, the reference memory 24 stores the current year, month, and day, as well as other console data, such as the slip number.

The transmission/reception processing unit 28 is activated in response to a transmission/reception command from the input unit 23 by setting the mode switch MDSW to transfer mode.

The contents of the data memory 27 are read out and transmitted from the transmitting/receiving section 29 to a host computer or the like using an optical signal or the like. In this case, the transmission/reception processing section 28 sequentially transmits the data in the data memory 27 every time an acknowledgment is received from the host computer or the like via the transmission/reception section 29. Further, the mode switch MDSW is set to the registration mode, and setting information is received from an external device and registered in the word setting memory 22.

FIG. 4 shows a part of the setting contents of the word setting memory 22. The word setting memory 22 has a heading area KY, a header area HD, and an item area AT as memory areas for one slip, and the stored contents are user-friendly. It was arbitrarily written by. In the heading area KY, the tentative loading number, tentative loading name, and party's name are stored as heading data of the slip. Further, in the header area HD and item area AT, word contents and word names that define the processing contents of the word are stored in correspondence with each word number of the code.

Here, the input word and other processing words that define the word content are described as follows.

ra”...Indicates an input word and defines that word data should be input from the input unit 23.

rbJ...Indicates an index word, reference memory 24
It is defined that word data should be created using any of the index tables A, B, C, and D in the table.

rc IJ... Indicates the year, month, and day word, and defines that the year, month, and day are retrieved from the reference memory 24.

rdJ... Indicates a constant word, and defines the input of codes such as capital contribution code and sales code described below.

reJ... Indicates a tally word and defines that a tally calculation of the item amount should be performed.

"×"... Indicates a calculation word, and defines that calculations such as unit price x quantity should be performed.

"~"... Indicates a combination word and defines that the affiliation code, person in charge code, etc. should be combined.

In addition, "I" is the start of an item of 1 ref - 1 minute, "E"
” defines its termination. In addition, rAJ, rgJ, rc
J, rpJ are index tables A, B, in the reference memory 24,
Specify C and D.

East - Now, the word content of the slip is in the word setting memory 22.
It is assumed that the definitions are as shown in the figure.

First, in order to specify the slip shown in Figure 4, use the numeric keypad AK.
After operating the temporary product number r120J, operate the slip designation key EK.

As a result, the slip data input processing program is activated, and the input processing section 21 executes operations according to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the word setting memory 22 is searched for a tradition corresponding to the input designated temporary product number, and the first word of the specified temporary product thus searched is specified as an address (step St), and the content of the corresponding word is specified. (Step S2), and checks whether the read word content is the item end word "E" (Step S2).
3).

At first, the item end word rEJ is not read out, so the process proceeds to step S4, where it is checked whether it is the input word raJ or another processing word. Now, since we have specified the breed with provisional product number r120J, we will extract the year, month, and day word "
cl'' is read out. When a processing word is read out in this manner, in order to perform the processing defined thereby, step S9 checks the type of processing word, that is, whether or not the processing word is an index word.

Here, if the index word "b", then the index word "b"
(step 510), but if it is a word to be processed other than the index word rbJ, the process proceeds to step 311, and the corresponding processing is performed (step S t t).
, Now that the date word "C1" has been read out,
The current date is read from the reference memory 24. Then, the process proceeds to step S7, where the word data (year, month, and date) read from the reference memory 24 is written into the data memory 27 as word number "Ol" data, and stored therein. The process then proceeds to step S8, where the next word in the word setting memory 22 is addressed, and then the process returns to step S2.

As a result, the input word "a" is read from the word setting memory 22, so this is detected in step S4 and the process proceeds to step S5, where the corresponding word name is read from the word setting memory 22 and displayed on the display section 2.
6 and displayed on the word label display section 13-1. Then, the input standby state is entered until word data is input from the input section 23 (step S6). The word label display section 13-1 now corresponds to the word number "02" read out from the word setting memory 22. The word name "slip collapse" is displayed, and after visually confirming it, the user inputs the slip number from the input section 23 using the numeric keys AK, and then operates the word separator key DK. Then, the input processing fi 21 takes in the word data stored in the input memory 25 in response to the operation of the word delimiter K, sends it to the input processing section 21, and displays the word data in the word data display section 13.
-2 to display. Then, the process proceeds to step S7, where the word data taken in from the input memory 25 is written into the data memory 27 as word number "02" data, and is stored and arranged.

Thereafter, the process advances to step S8, the next word is designated, and the process returns to step S2.

As a result, the input word raJ corresponding to the word number "03" is then read out from the word setting memory 22 and the corresponding word name is displayed (step S5
), in this case, since no word name is stored in the word, in such a case, the word name stored in the next word, that is, "sales destination" is read out and displayed. Then, as in the case described above, the state waits for input of word data (step S6). If the customer code is input now, the process proceeds to step S7, where the input customer code is set as data of word number "03". The data is written to the data memory 27. Then, the process proceeds to step S8, where the primary word is specified, and then the process returns to step S2.

Then, the word number “04” is read from the word setting memory 22.
Since the word content (index word) of " is read out, this is detected in step S9 and the process proceeds to step SIO, where index processing is performed accordingly. Now, rb03:A
The index word defined by J is reference memory 2
By inputting the previous word number "03" into the index table A of No. 4, the customer code stored in the data memory 27 is read out to indicate that it should be indexed, and the word data read out from the index table A accordingly. is sent to the display section 26 and displayed on the word data display section 13-2. Then, the process proceeds to step S7, where this word data is written into the data memory 27 as word number "04" data, and the process proceeds to step S8, where the next word is designated, and the process returns to step S2.

Thereafter, in the same way, the word contents are sequentially read from the word setting memory 22, checking whether the word contents are an input word or another processing word, and writing the word data to the data memory 27 while executing the corresponding processing. Note that if e (total word) is detected as the word content, step 311. The process of S7 is not performed, and the process of the next step S8 is performed.As a result, when the process for the header is completed, the process moves to the next item.

When the item end word "E" for the code is read out from the word setting memory 22, step S4
When this is detected, the process proceeds to step S12, and enters a key human power waiting state. Now that the processing for the items corresponding to the code has been completed, operate the record separator key FK. Then, the process advances to step S13, and the data memory 27
The header data within is copied to a predetermined location in the data memory 27 as the next record's ladder data. The process then proceeds to step S14, where the first word of the record item is specified, and then the process returns to step S2. As a result, the same processing is performed on the item corresponding to 1 ref-1.

Then, when processing for all records is finished, press the exit key G.
Operate K. Then, the process advances from step S12 to step 315, where the tally word reJ is stored in the word setting memory 2.
Check whether it is stored in 2. in this case,
The word contents in the word setting memory 22 are sequentially searched from the first word of the specified tentative product. Here,
Since the tally word "e" is stored in the position corresponding to the word number "09", proceed to the next step 316 and perform the tallying process.Currently, the tally word reJ defines that the amounts should be tallied. Therefore, the amount of each record item is sequentially read from the data memory 27, the total is calculated, and the result is written to the data memory 27 as word number <rol data.

[Effects of the Invention] This invention can easily handle various input formats such as slips by simply defining the processing content of each word, so there is no need to create a complex slip processing program using a programming language. Therefore, it is possible to provide an input processing device with rich versatility.
