Abstract

PURPOSE:To refer to a change with the lapse of time, a correlation, etc. of plural pieces of data as the same time series by printing plural pieces of continuous data to single output paper simultaneously and in parallel to a time series. CONSTITUTION:Plural pieces of input multiple data are stored in a multiple data receiving storage mechanism 11 at every data of the same time by a multiple data monitor mechanism 12. The stored data is outputted at every data of the same time in accordance with time information outputted from a timer mechanism 13 and printed by a printing mechanism 14. In such a way, since the data whose time series coincide are printed in parallel, input multiple data can be compared and observed easily.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a print output method for multiplexed data that prints multiple multiplexed data, the purpose is to print multiple input data simultaneously in chronological order on a medium output paper. For example, a multiple data reception storage mechanism that inputs a plurality of data from the outside and stores these data simultaneously in parallel in a time series, whether the data is stored simultaneously in the multiple data reception storage device. a timer mechanism that provides time information to the multiplex data monitoring mechanism for determining the time series of data stored in the multiplex data reception storage mechanism; and a printing mechanism that prints the same time data in parallel according to the time information from the timer mechanism.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a print output method for multiplexed data that prints a plurality of multiplexed data.

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent trend of multitasking in computer application systems, there is a demand for printing out output data whose time series coincides with the results of parallel tasks for the same time series. For this reason, multiple printer connection devices and multiple data are sequentially accumulated in a buffer and output to a single printer, but the results are separate documents or documents with inconsistent chronological order, so this is not possible. It is necessary to output documents simultaneously in chronological order using multiple printer devices.

I can't see it sometimes. In other words, multiple pieces of consecutive data cannot be received at the same time.

Therefore, a plurality of printers VtW1 are used to print out each piece of data in a one-to-one correspondence.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional printer system. In the figure, 1 is an electronic exchange such as a PBX, 2 is a console connected to the electronic exchange mechanism, and 3 is Δ.

3B is a printer device. The console 2 and the printer device ra3A are connected, and the electronic exchange mechanism and the printer device 13
B are connected to each other.

[Prior art 1] A conventional printer device has one input/output device ff (Ilo) for data input, detects data input, and uses a buffer storage device to temporarily hold the input data. The contents are stored and sequentially transferred to the printer device in the input order, that is, in chronological order, and printed. However, since data is transferred sequentially from a single data input to a single data output, multiple pieces of consecutive data are the same [Problem to be solved by the invention M] In this system example, the electronic exchange mechanism and the console 2
Even if the data is printed in chronological order, the printed data (document) at the same time as shown in the figure
are not lined up horizontally, and even if the data output time etc. are output at the same time, it is difficult to refer to the documents in parallel due to the time left when the data is blank.
In the case of multiple pieces of temporally related data, there was a problem in that the material value of the output document was significantly reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to print a plurality of consecutive pieces of data simultaneously in chronological order by printing the same time data in parallel in the horizontal direction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a print output method for multiple data that can be printed on one output paper.

[r! Means for Solving Problem R] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the present invention. In the figure,
Numeral 11 is a multiple data reception storage mechanism which inputs a plurality of data from the outside and stores these data simultaneously in parallel in a time series; 12 is a multiple data reception storage mechanism 11 in which data is stored simultaneously in parallel. 13 is a timer mechanism that provides the multiplex data monitoring mechanism 12 with time information for determining the time series of data stored in the multiplex data reception storage mechanism 11; 14 is the multiplex data reception mechanism; This is a printing mechanism that prints data output from the storage mechanism 11 in parallel at the same time according to time information from the timer mechanism 13.

[Operation] A plurality of pieces of input multiplexed data are stored by the multiplexed data monitoring mechanism 12 in the multiplexed data receiving and storing mechanism 11 for each piece of data at the same time. The stored data is outputted for each data at the same time according to time information outputted from the timer mechanism 13 and printed by the printing mechanism 14. As a result, since the data with the same time series are printed in parallel, it is possible to easily compare and observe input multiple data.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

It is as follows.

The data mill data n inputted in parallel are received in parallel by the data receiving device 21, and stored in the storage units 18 to 18 respectively.
1n. The channel device 23 transfers the data input to the data receiving device 21 to the storage units 2a to 2n of the buffer storage device 22 without disrupting the time sequence. Here, the monitoring device 29 monitors where data is accumulated in the storage units 28 to 2n using time information from the timer device 30.

If data is generated, the data transfer device 24 transfers the data to the storage unit 2.

Components that are the same as those in FIG. 5 and FIG. 2 are designated by the same reference numerals. It is assumed that 5A4 of both the electronic exchange mechanism 1 and the console 2 are connected to the printing device 26, and two parallel data from the electronic exchange mechanism and the console 2 are input to the printing device H26. In (a), only the console 2 outputs data, regardless of the electronic exchange mechanism, and the printing device fl1
26 is output.

(b) is a case where the electronic switching facility outputs an independent message in addition to (b), and it is easy to know at what point the electronic switching facility sent the message just by looking at the output document 27. .

In the above description, a plurality of inputs are processed by hardware (firmware) on the printer side, but the steps up to editing may be executed by software on the data output side, such as a computer. In this case, it is processed as an output result of multitask processing or as an output for multiple parallel data inputs to a computer. Further, in a similar manner, processes from parallel input to editing may be executed as independent hardware. In either case, the effect and principle are the same.
