Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the data input time and simultaneously to decrease the input mistakes of an operator by storing automatically the data inputted via a keyboard into a host when a telegram is transferred to the host. CONSTITUTION:The keyboard 3-1 of an input device performs a normal data input operation and reads the data out of a host via the key input operations. A display 3-2 serving as an output device displays the input data obtained via the keyboard 3-1 and the data read out of a host 3-4. Then the data inputted from the keyboard 3-1 are automatically stored in the host 3-4 when a telegram is transferred to the host 3-4. Thus the input data on the previous transactions can also be used. Consequently, an operator is just required to input data only at an area to be corrected with the input of the data similar to the input data on the previous transactions. Then the input items can be decreased together with the shortening of the data input time and the input mistakes of the operator are reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to data entry in online terminals.

[Conventional technology]

With conventional online terminals, the host side did not store information about previous transactions, so even if similar transactions had been entered in the past, new data had to be entered from the beginning.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the conventional input method described above, even if similar transactions had been entered previously, data had to be entered from the beginning, so there were many input items that the operator had to enter. . Therefore, there are problems in that it takes time for the operator to input data and that there are many input errors by the operator.

[Means to solve the problem]

The data input method according to the present invention includes a means for transmitting data inputted from an input device to a host so as to be stored therein, and a means for reading out data stored in the host using the keystrokes of an operator, as if the data were inputted from the input device. By combining the data read from the host with the newly input data by inputting only the data you want to change from the input device, you can and means for transmitting the message to the host again.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

The configuration of an embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 2, including input devices 3-1. Output device 3-2. It is composed of a CPU 3-3 and is connected to a host 3-4.

The input device is a keyboard 3-1, which is used for normal data input and reading of data stored in the host.

The output device is a display 3-2 that displays input data from the keyboard 3-1 and read data from the host 3-4.

The present invention will be explained in detail based on the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 1(A) is a flowchart for storing data input from the keyboard 3-1 in the host 3-4. In the conventional terminal system, data is entered from the keyboard 3-1, and messages are exchanged with the host by pressing the send key (1-1°1-2.1-3). Therefore, in this embodiment, data input from the keyboard 3-1 is sent to the host 3-1 at the time of exchanging messages with the host.
It is possible to reuse input data from previous transactions by automatically accumulating them in .

The explanation using actual data is as follows.

As shown in Figure 4, account number (0000001), initiative number (1), amount (100, 000, 000, 000)
, due date (600331), interest rate (7,20>, base rate (6,912345), and interest management code (1) from the keyboard, and press the send key. A message will be sent to the host and the entered data will be displayed. It is accumulated in the mailbox.In the processing of R Loan: Bill Loan Initiative 1, which is given as an example, the account number and the initiative number are the keys.

In Figure 1 (B), the host 3-4 is
3 is a flowchart showing a method of reading out data accumulated in the computer and inputting data using the data. If the operator previously entered data for a similar transaction, by inputting keys (account number, transaction number) from the keyboard 3-1, the accumulated data will be displayed on the display 3-2 as if it were a keyboard. It will be displayed as if it were input from 3-1.

The explanation using actual data (Figures 3 and 4) is as follows.

As shown in Figure 3, the operator enters the key (account number oooooo).

1. Enter the program number 1) from the keyboard 3-1 and press the one-step key to exchange and receive messages with the host 3-4, and display the data stored in the host 3-4 on the display 3-1. 2 (Figure 4). If there are any corrections, input only the corrections using the keyboard 3-1 and press the send key. Then host 3
-4, and the corrected data is sent to host 3.
-4 is accumulated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention can bring about the following effects.

When entering data similar to the input data of a previous transaction,
Since the input data of previous transactions stored in the host is automatically input, the operator only needs to input data for the corrected parts. Therefore, the number of items to be input is reduced, thereby reducing data input time and input errors by the operator.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIGS. 1A and 1B show the processing procedure for storing input data in the host in one embodiment of the present invention, and reading out the data stored in the host using a one-step key, and if there are any corrections. A flowchart showing the processing procedure for making corrections and newly storing the results in the host. Figure 2 is a configuration diagram of this embodiment. Figure 3 is a diagram showing how to specify a one-step key. Figure 4 is FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a screen on which data is input and a screen on which data accumulated in a mailbox is displayed by pressing a one-step key.

Claims (1)

[Claims] The data input from the input device is stored in the host, the stored data is read out, restored and displayed on the output device,
A data input method characterized by overlapping the data read from the host with the newly input data when a correction is input.
