Abstract

PURPOSE:To suitably release resources kept for a session by enabling a log-out processing at time designated by a user in advance. CONSTITUTION:A table retrieval part 5 periodically retrieves a log-out time storage table 3 and selects a command executing the designation of log-out at time closest to the time of a system time 4 out of registered command, and a timer monitor part 6 is activated. According to information dispatched from the table retrieval part 5, the timer monitor part 6 always compares the time of the system timer 4 with the log-out scheduling time and monitors them, and when the scheduled time comes, a charge processing part 7 is activated for executing an end processing. According to the time from the start of the session with the host computer of the user to the end of the session, the charge processing part 7 calculates cost and a resource release processing part 8 to be activated after the charge processing part 7 releases connection with a terminal kept for the session and the resources used by the user. Thus, the resources kept for the session are suitably released.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a TSS logout processing method, and more particularly to a TSS logout processing method in which the end time of a session with a host computer is specified in advance by a command.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the TSS logout processing method has been performed at the moment when a user inputs a logout command from a conversation terminal, or when a timeout occurs due to monitoring of no communication between the conversation terminal and the host computer.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional TSS logout processing method described above, it was not possible to perform the logout processing at a time specified by the user in advance, so if the user forgets to input the logout command or the input time is inappropriate, the host computer There was a drawback that resources were wasted even after the session ended.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides a time sharing system having a system timer that executes a logout request for a session set between a conversation processing system and a conversation terminal in response to a logout command input by a user.
In the SS logout processing method, a logout time designation command input from the conversation terminal is received by a logout time analysis unit that performs a syntax check on the logout time designation command, and a logout time analysis unit that performs a syntax check on the logout time designation command that passes the syntax check. A logout time storage table that stores logout designated times and usage identification names, and a table that compares the logout designated times in all of the logout time designation commands in the logout time storage table with the value of the system timer at regular intervals. When there is a logout time specification command in which the time difference between the search unit and the comparison is less than a certain value determined by the system, the table search unit is activated to constantly check the logout specification time in the command and the value of the system timer. a timer monitoring unit for comparison; and a billing processing unit that is activated when the comparison in the timer monitoring unit matches and calculates a session name from the usage identification name in the logout time designation command and calculates a usage cost from the usage time of the session; , and a resource release processing unit that releases the connection with the terminal held by the session and the related resources after the end of the billing process.

〔Example〕

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

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user specifies a logout time using a logout time designation command from the conversation terminal 1 connected to the conversational computer system 9.

The logout time analysis unit 2 checks the syntax of the logout time designation command input from the conversation terminal 1, and if the check result is correct, the logout time analysis unit 2 checks the syntax of the logout time designation command input from the conversation terminal 1. If the check result is correct, the logout time analysis unit 2 inputs the above scheduled logout time and the user identification name for determining the session.
The logout time is stored in the logout time storage table 3.

The table search unit 5 periodically searches the logout time storage table 3, selects among the registered commands that specify a logout at a time that is close to the time of the system timer 4, and Start.

The timer monitoring section 6 constantly compares and monitors the time of the system timer 4 and the scheduled logout time based on the information passed from the table search section 5, and when the scheduled time is reached, activates the billing processing section 7 to perform termination processing.

The billing processing unit 7 calculates the cost based on the time from the start to the end of the session with the user's host computer.

The resource release processing section 8, which is activated after the charging processing section 7, connects with the terminal held by the session at the time of termination and releases the resources used by the user.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, by enabling logout processing at a time specified by the user in advance, it becomes possible to appropriately release resources held by a session.
