Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Summary) This invention relates to a method of transferring data created on one's own terminal via a network and outputting it to another terminal. Each terminal has a graphic creation function, and the data encodes only the conditions for creating the graphic.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a terminal-to-terminal transfer/output method, and more particularly to a method for transferring data created by one's own terminal via a network and outputting it to another terminal.

Since graphics such as graphs, drawings, figures, etc. contain a large amount of data, it is especially necessary to efficiently transfer them between multiple terminals interconnected via a network.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when outputting graphics created on one's own terminal on another terminal, programs and data created for each output process are stored in a medium such as a floppy or magnetic tape, and then re-embedded in the other terminal. Or, the created graphic data is transferred as a file in badge format.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, this method is inefficient in today's world where networks connecting many terminals have become commonplace, and it is time consuming and requires the transfer source terminal to transfer graphic data, such as screen type, etc. When modifying coordinates, etc., there is a problem in that it requires a great deal of time and effort to make the corresponding modifications at the destination terminal.

Therefore, the present invention enables graphics created on one terminal to be created in the same manner on other terminals more efficiently in a method in which data created on one's own terminal is transferred via a network and output to another terminal. The purpose is to

[Means and effects for solving the problems] In order to solve the above problems, in the terminal-to-terminal transfer output method according to the present invention, as shown in principle in FIG. When outputting graphics such as graphs, drawings, figures, etc. to the 10B, the data is transferred in the form of a coded form of the creation conditions.

The terminal 10B that receives this code analyzes the code and outputs the corresponding graphics link by activating the graphics link creation function provided in the terminal 10B.

In this way, graphics can be easily output to another terminal simply by transferring the code between the terminals across the network 2.

〔Example〕

FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which each terminal has a crowd cuff file (buffer) ■, a code analysis unit ■,
The parts file■, the creation program library■,
It consists of a fixed file ■, an editing processing section ■, and an output processing section ■. In this example, we are dealing with the case where a network diagram as a graphic link is transferred and output from terminal A to terminal B. Hereinafter, each part of this embodiment will be explained.

■Terminal input/output cuff: On terminal A, register the network diagram you want to output to terminal B in the terminal output cuff. The contents of the terminal input/output cuff file ■ are determined from the screen number, name, and screen components as shown in the figure. In the example shown, the screen number is screen identification "30", the screen type is "(101"), and the name is is "XX network diagram", and the first page component is the device name rt.

IJ, coordinate data rlO, 2J, and inter-device connection conditions "
It consists of codes such as "Ol". Note that terminal A knows in advance that terminal B can output a network diagram by using such a code.

Such code data is transferred to terminal B, which received it via the network. Terminal B receives it at the terminal cuff file ■, sends the screen number code to the code analysis section ■, and converts the screen component code into parts. Send to file ■.

■Code analysis unit: In the code analysis unit (■), the designated screen identification number is “30J, ``network diagram,'' according to the screen identification table, and since the screen type is roolJ, the corresponding program name is output.

■Component file: Here, since the device name of the screen component is rlolJ, the PBX is specified, and the corresponding actual data address is output. In this case, the actual data address includes an address for searching for data regarding the "name", "coordinate data", and "inter-device connection conditions" of the network diagram.

■ Creation program library: Starts a program to read the corresponding network diagram in response to the program name code output from the code analysis section.

■Fixed file: Search and output screen pattern data regarding "name J,""devicename,""coordinatedata," and "interdevice connection conditions" using the actual data address obtained from the component file (■).

■Editing processing unit: Here, the screen pattern data from the fixed file ■ is edited in a drawing according to the network diagram creation program started in the program library ■.

■Output processing unit: Here, the screen pattern edited in the drawing is output as a network diagram as shown in the output diagram ■.

■Output diagram: To explain a part of this output diagram, the PBX designated as a device is placed in the upper left corner at its coordinates rlo, 2'', and its midpoint and sensor are connected by the inter-device connection condition ``Ol''. are doing.

Note that by adding the network diagram created in this way to the input/output cables of own terminal B, it is also possible to independently edit the diagram.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the terminal-to-terminal transfer output method according to the present invention, only the graphic creation conditions are encoded and transferred between the terminals across the network, so that the output is output to the other terminal. This reduces transfer time, reduces file size, simplifies management, and makes it possible to easily handle changes in graphics at the transfer destination. Effective utilization becomes possible.
