Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent data during editing from being discarded by preserving a file during editing by means of a separate instruction, omitting an operation to complete an operation, and operating a terminal with a next terminal operator when a current operator is away from the terminal during editing for a long time. CONSTITUTION:Measurement is executed by an elapsed time measuring means 1 after an input, when an elapsed time value is smaller than a designated value, the measurement is continued by a means 2 to comparatively decide the measured value and the designated value, and when it is >= the designated value, an unused file name is made into the file name during editing by an unused file name retrieving means 3. A control file preparing means 4 of information necessary for re-editing writes the data necessary for the re-editing, and the control file is prepared. A means 5 to preserve and complete the data during editing preserve the file during editing under the retrieved unused file name, and the editing is completed. An editing restarting command input means 6 inputs an editing restarting command, an editing restarting means 7 restores an editing condition before a completion, and the editing is restarted. Thus, the editing restarting is made faster, and the disappearance of the data during editing can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for automatically terminating editing of a word processor, etc., and a method for restarting the same.

[Conventional technology]

# of this kind of conventional! The way to end the 4th edition was to manually input a save command to save the file, or input an end command to end the file being edited.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional editing termination method described above, the person involved in the editing operation inputs a save command name, and then inputs an end command name to terminate editing. Therefore, if the number of terminal operators is greater than the number of terminals, the disadvantage is that if the operator leaves the terminal for a long time and occupies the terminal even though the next terminal operator exists, it will hinder the efficient use of the terminal. be. Furthermore, existing systems that automatically terminate if access is not made within a certain period of time do not save files that are being edited, which has the disadvantage that data that is being edited is lost.

[Means to solve the problem]

The editing termination and restarting method of the present invention includes a means for measuring the elapsed time after the input, a means for comparing and determining the measured value of the elapsed time after the input with a specified value, and a means for determining the elapsed time after the input. A means for searching, a means for saving the file being edited with the searched unused file name, the file name of the data before editing, the file name used for saving, and the data necessary to resume editing. It is configured to include a means for writing to a management file and terminating the editing, a means for inputting an editing restart command, and a means for restoring the editing state to the state before the end based on the information in the management file and restarting the editing. It is characterized by

〔Example〕

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the execution flow of an embodiment of the present invention corresponding to each means. The method of ending and restarting editing shown in FIG. 1 includes means 1 for measuring the elapsed time after input;
A means 2 for comparing and determining the measured value of the elapsed time after input and a specified value, a means 3 for searching for an unused file name, a means 4 for creating a management file for information necessary for re-editing, and a means 4 for creating a management file for information necessary for re-editing. It is configured to include means 5 for saving and terminating, means 6 for inputting an editing restart command, and means 7 for restarting editing.

In FIG. 1, the input elapsed time measuring means 1 returns the measured value to zero and starts measurement every time input data is sent. The means 2 for comparing and determining the measured value and the specified value returns to the input elapsed time measuring means 1 to continue measurement if the elapsed time value after input is smaller than the specified value of the system. Also, if the elapsed time value after input is equal to or greater than the system specified value, use the unused file name search means 3 to add, for example, a single character from A to Z to the end of the file name being edited. If the resulting file name is an unused file name, that unused file name is used as the file name of the file being edited.

In the method 4 of creating a management file of information necessary for re-editing,
A management file is created by writing the file name of the data before editing, the searched unused file name, and data necessary for restoring the editing state before termination and restarting editing into a system-specific management file. A means 5 for saving and terminating the data being edited saves the file being edited with the retrieved unused file name and ends the edited program. The means 6 for inputting a resume editing command inputs an editing resume command that includes the file name of the data before editing, and the process moves to the means 7 for restarting editing, reads a management file of information necessary for re-editing, and reads the file. Start the editor program you were editing, call up the saved file with the searched file name, restore the editing state before exiting, and resume editing.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, if an operator is away from the terminal for a long time while editing, the next terminal operator can save the file being edited in a separate command and open the terminal without having to save the file as a separate command and exit the terminal. This allows you to improve the efficiency of using the terminal, and simply enter the resume editing command to return to the editing state before termination, allowing you to quickly resume editing where you left off.
Furthermore, since editing is ended after being automatically saved, there is no need to abandon the data being edited.
