Abstract

PURPOSE:To securely record data on a floppy disk at all times by judging the adequacy of the floppy disk each time the data is recorded on the floppy disk. CONSTITUTION:The data in the recording data storage area of a D-RAM 15 are recorded in the write buffer of a C-RAM 16, and the contents of the control file of the floppy disk are read out to the control file of the D-RAM 15 before the contents of the C-RAM 16 are written on the floppy disk on a floppy disk device 24. Then the start dates, end dates, start serial numbers, end serial numbers, start record numbers, and end record numbers of the control file of the D-RAM 15 and the control file of the C-RAM 16 are compared with each other. When they do not match, an error message is displayed on an LCD display 22 and a buzzer is turned on to attract operator's attention. Consequently, the data can securely be recorded on the correct floppy disk at all times.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a business processing device that records various business processing contents executed by input operations as a management file on a replaceably provided floppy disk.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of business processing apparatus has been designed to perform data standby processing as shown in FIG. First, floppy disk confirmation processing is performed.

This floppy disk confirmation process is to confirm the floppy disk on which the business processing contents are to be recorded, and as shown in FIG. 11, a floppy disk set confirmation message is displayed on a display made of an LCD (liquid crystal) or the like. This instructs the operator to replace the system floppy disk in which the business processing program is stored with a 70 disk for recording the business process contents.

When the operator inputs a confirmation key from the keyboard, a request to read the floppy disk management file to the D (dynamic)-RAM management file is output. Then, a floppy disk operation wait process is executed.

When this floppy disk operation waiting process is normally completed, the data in the D-RAM management file and the C(MOS)-RAM management file are compared. The data to be compared includes, for example, the start date and time that is the date and time of the start of recording on the floppy disk, the end date and time that is the date and time of the last recording on the floppy disk, the start serial number that is the serial number of the start of recording on the floppy disk, and the floppy disk. There is an end serial number which is the final recording serial number for the floppy disk, a start record number which is the recording start record Nα of the floppy disk, an end record number which is the final recording record number of the floppy disk, etc.

If the comparison results match, the floppy disk determination process ends.

If there is a discrepancy, D-
Check the RAM management file. If it is a new floppy disk, a message will be displayed on the display informing that the floppy disk has been replaced with a new floppy disk, and the operator will be asked to manually press the key to confirm their intention to replace the floppy disk. Then, when the operator confirms the replacement manually, D
- Copy the RAM management file to the C-RAM management file and end the floppy disk confirmation process. The reason why the floppy disk can be replaced with a new one is to deal with the case when the floppy disk becomes damaged or becomes full.

In addition, if the operator refuses to replace the floppy disk with a new floppy disk, if a different floppy disk is set, or if the floppy disk is damaged or the floppy disk is not set, an error message will be displayed on the display and a buzzer will be turned on to confirm the floppy disk. Repeat the process again.

Also, when the floppy disk operation waiting process is not completed normally, an error message is displayed on the display and a buzzer is turned on to repeat the floppy disk confirmation process again.

When this floppy disk confirmation process is completed, the device then waits for a data recording request, and when a recording request is received, data recording processing is performed.

As shown in FIG. 12, this data recording process begins with the C-
It is determined whether additional recording is possible by comparing the length of the buffer data being stored in the RAM buffer management section and the length of the recording data storage area of the D-RAM.

If additional recording is possible, the data in the recorded data storage area of the D-RAM is recorded, for example, in the C-RAM storage buffer that is currently being stored out of two C-RAM buffers, and the C-RAM buffer is managed. The storage buffer data length of the section is updated and the data recording process ends.

If additional recording is not possible, the C-
After clearing the RAM buffer, the data in the D-RAM recording data storage area is recorded, and the data in the C-RAM buffer management section is updated.

Then, the buffer that has been functioning as a C-RAM storage buffer up until now is used as a C-RAM write buffer, and the contents of the buffer are written to the floppy disk data file.

Next, floppy disk operation wait processing is performed, and when this processing is completed normally, the D-RAM management file is updated,
And the contents of the D-RAM management file are written to the floppy disk management file.

Then, the floppy disk operation waiting process is performed again, and when this process is completed normally, the contents of the D-RAM management file are copied to the C-RAM management file.

Note that if the floppy disk operation waiting process does not end normally, error processing such as setting error information is performed and the data recording process is ended.

The floppy disk operation waiting process in the floppy disk confirmation process and data recording process waits for the completion of the operation of the floppy disk device, as shown in FIG. 13, and ends when the operation is completed.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional business processing shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the contents of the floppy disk are checked only once before the start of recording the business process contents after the power is turned on. Because the content was not checked every time a write was made to the floppy disk, for example, if the floppy disk was replaced due to an operator error, data would be overwritten on the floppy disk, causing the data on the floppy disk to be lost. There was a problem.

In addition, the floppy disk operation waiting process simply waits for the floppy disk device to complete its operation.
There is a problem that during this operation waiting processing period, the work is interrupted and the operator is unable to perform operations.

Therefore, the present invention is capable of determining the validity of a floppy disk each time data is recorded on the floppy disk, and notifying the user if an incorrect floppy disk is set. The objective is to provide a business processing device that can reliably record data.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a business processing device that can execute business without interruption even while the floppy disk device is operating.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The invention corresponding to claim (1) provides a business processing device that records various business processing contents executed by input operations as a management file on a replaceably provided floppy disk. A first management file memory stores the same contents as the management file on the disk, a second management file memory stores the contents of the management file on the floppy disk, and a second management file memory stores the contents of the management file on the floppy disk. At the time of recording, a file reading means reads out the contents of a management file on a floppy disk and stores the contents in a second management file memory prior to the recording, and following the reading of the management file by the reading means, the contents of the management file are read out and stored in the first and second management files. a comparison means for comparing the contents of the memory; a notification means for performing a notification operation when the comparison means determines that the contents do not match;
A recording means is provided for recording the contents of the management file in the management file of the floppy disk.

The invention corresponding to claim (2) further comprises memory recording means for recording the business process content in the first management file memory when a request to record the business process content is generated by an input operation when accessing the management file of the floppy disk. It was established.

[Operation] In the invention configured as described above, when recording the business process contents in the management file of the floppy disk, the contents of the management file of the floppy disk are stored in the second management file memory prior to the recording. Then, the contents of the first and second management file memories are compared. If it is determined that the comparison results do not match, a notification operation is performed. Further, when it is determined that the contents match, the contents of the first management file are recorded in the management file of the floppy disk.

Further, when a request to record the business process content is generated by an input operation when accessing the management file on the floppy disk, the business process content is recorded in the first management file memory.

As shown in FIG. 2, the C-RAM 16 has a C-RA

The C-RAM management file 16a includes a start date and time that is the date and time of the start of recording on the floppy disk, an end date and time that is the date and time of the last recording on the floppy disk, a start serial number that is the serial number of the start of recording on the floppy disk, Data such as the end serial number which is the final recording serial number for the floppy disk, the start record magnetic field which is the recording start record magnetic field of the floppy disk, and the end record string which is the final recorded record circle of the floppy disk are stored. The C-RAM buffer management section 16b stores data such as date and time, writing buffer pointer, storage buffer pointer, storage buffer data length, and serial number.

As shown in FIG. 4, the floppy disk of the floppy disk device 24 has a floppy disk management file 2.
A 4a1 floppy disk data file 24b is provided. The floppy disk management file 24a includes start date and time, end date and time, start serial number,
Data such as end serial number, start record number, end record number, etc. are stored.

4 to 9 are flowcharts of business processing performed by the main CPU 1. When the power is turned on, various initial processing and loading of business processing programs are performed, and self-diagnosis processing and the like are also executed. After that, the data standby process shown in FIG. 5 is executed.

In this data standby process, first, a floppy disk confirmation process is performed only once. This floppy disk determination process is for determining the floppy disk on which the business process contents are to be recorded, and is the same as the process shown in FIG. 11 described above.

When this floppy disk determination process is completed, the device then waits for a data recording request, and when a recording request is received, data recording processing is performed.

In this data recording process, as shown in FIG.
Comparing the length of the buffer data being stored in the AM buffer management unit 16b and the length of the D-RAM recording data storage area 15b, the two C-RAM buffers 16c and 16d are stored.
It is determined whether additional recording is possible for the buffer in which data is being stored.

For example, if the floppy disk read/write unit is 512 bytes, the C-RAM buffer 16c,
16d has a recordable data capacity of 508 bytes excluding the 4 bytes of the serial number area. and C-, the buffer data length being stored in the RAM buffer management unit 16b, and D
- The criterion is that the total length of the RAM recording data storage area 15b does not exceed 508 bytes.

and C-RAM storage buffers (2 (7) C-RAM
If recording is possible in the M buffers 16c and 16d, the data in the D-RAM recording data storage area 15b is recorded in the C-RAM storage buffer, and after recording, the data is stored in the C-RAM storage area 15b. - Update the buffer data length being stored in the RAM buffer management unit 16b and end the data recording process.

If recording is not possible in the C-RAM storage buffer, clear the C-RAM buffer that is not being stored, record the data in the D-RAM recording data storage area 15b, and then The storage buffer pointer 16b is the address of the C-RAM buffer in which data is recorded, and the storage buffer data length is set to D-RA.
The length is changed to that of the M recording data storage area 15b.

Further, after adding 1 to the serial number of the C-RAM buffer management section 16b, the serial number is copied to the serial number of the C-RAM buffer in which the data is recorded. Further, year, month, date and time information, which is part of the clock information, is extracted from a clock circuit (not shown) provided in the device and recorded as year, month, date and time information in the C-RAM buffer management section 16b.

At this point, the C-RAM buffer that was previously called the C-RAM storage buffer is now the C-RAM write buffer, and the C-RAM buffer in which the data has been recorded is now the C-RAM buffer.
AM storage buffer.

The contents of the C-RAM write buffer are then written to the floppy disk, but before that, the floppy disk confirmation process shown in FIG. 7 is performed.

In this floppy disk confirmation process, an operation request is first made to the disk controller 23 to read the contents of the floppy disk management file 24a into the D-RAM management file 15a.

Then, the floppy disk operation waiting process shown in FIG. 8 is executed.

This floppy disk operation waiting process waits for the completion of the operation of the floppy disk device 24, but if a data recording request occurs before the completion of this operation is notified, the data unrecorded flag 15d is checked, and if this flag is ON, For example, it is determined that there is data waiting to be recorded in the C-RAM buffer in the D-RAM recording data storage area 15b, and processing for new data recording requests is prohibited.

This is to ensure data loss prevention and continuous data recording.

Furthermore, if the data unrecorded flag 15d is OFF, data accumulation processing is executed. This data accumulation process begins with the D-RAM recording data storage area 15 as shown in FIG.
It is determined whether data b can be recorded in the C-RAM storage buffer.

This is the buffer data length being stored in the C-RAM buffer management section 16b and the D-RAM recorded data storage area 1.
5b lengths are added up, and a judgment is made based on whether this sum exceeds 508 bytes, which is the maximum recordable length of the C-RAM buffer.

If it is 508 bytes or less, it is determined that it is possible to record in the C-RAM storage buffer, and the data in the D-RAM recording data storage area 15b is recorded in the C-RAM storage buffer. Then, the length of the D-RAM recording data storage area is added to the length of the buffer data being stored in the C-RAM buffer management section 16b, and this data storage process is completed.

Also, if the total value exceeds 508 bytes, the C-RAM
Since it is impossible to record data in the buffer during accumulation and the C-RAM write buffer is also in a data recording state, the C-RAM full flag 15c is turned on and the data unrecorded flag is also turned on. Then, this data accumulation process is ended while the data to be recorded is held in the D-RAM recording data storage area 15b.

After executing such a data accumulation process, the floppy disk operation wait process waits again for the floppy disk device to complete its operation. Thereafter, these processes are repeated until the completion of the operation of the floppy disk device is notified. When the completion of the operation of the floppy disk device is notified, the floppy disk operation waiting process ends.

When the floppy disk operation waiting process is completed, the floppy disk confirmation process shown in FIG. 7 analyzes the operation completion notification to determine whether or not the operation has ended normally.

If the end is normal, the D-RAM management file 15a
and the start date and time of the C-RAM management file 16a,
The end date and time, start serial number, end serial number, start record No., and end record No. are compared, and when they all match, this floppy disk confirmation process ends.

However, as a result of analyzing the operation completion notification, if abnormal termination is determined, or if the comparison results do not match even if normal termination is determined, it is necessary to remove the floppy disk, replace it with a different type of floppy disk such as a system floppy disk, or It is determined that the floppy disk has been replaced with another floppy disk for recording the contents of business processing, and an error message is displayed on the LCD display 22 and a buzzer is turned on to alert the operator. Also, a message will be displayed prompting you to set the original floppy disk.

Then, the system waits for the operator to input a confirmation key. If the confirmation key is operated in this state, this floppy disk confirmation process is repeated again, and this process does not end until the floppy disks match.

Unlike the floppy disk confirmation process shown in FIG. 11, this floppy disk confirmation process does not allow replacement with a new floppy disk. This is to prevent floppy disks for recording business processing contents from being mixed up due to operator error.

When the floppy disk confirmation process is completed in the data recording process of FIG. 6, an operation request is made to the disk controller 23 to write the C-RAM storage buffer into the floppy disk data file 24b. and the eighth
Execute the floppy disk operation wait process shown in the figure.

Then, as a result of analyzing the operation completion notification from the disk controller 23, if the operation completion is normal, 1 is added to the end record Nα of the D-RAM management file 15a, and the C-RAM
The serial number of the buffer management section 16b is copied to the end serial number of the D-RAM management file 15a, and the date and time of the C-RAM buffer management section 16b is copied to the end date and time of the D-RAM management file 15a.

After making an operation request to the disk controller 23 to write the updated D-RAM management file 15a to the floppy disk management file 24a,
The floppy disk operation wait process shown in FIG. 8 is executed.

Then, as a result of analysis of the operation completion notification from the disk controller 23, if the operation has ended normally, the D-RAM management file 15a is copied to the C-RAM management file 16a.

Next, check the C-RAM full flag 15c and turn it on.
If so, after turning off the C-RAM full flag 15c, this data recording process is executed again starting with the floppy disk confirmation process. This minimizes data loss by preventing the C-RAM buffer from holding write data as much as possible.

Further, if the C-RAM full flag 15c is OFF, this data recording process is ended.

In addition, in this data recording process, if the analysis result of the operation completion notification from the disk controller 23 after the floppy disk operation waiting process is not a normal termination, this data recording process is terminated after performing error processing such as setting error information. do.

When such data recording processing is completed, the data unrecorded flag 15d is subsequently checked in the data standby processing shown in FIG. And the data unrecorded flag 15d is ON.
If so, it is determined that unrecorded data exists in the D-RAM recorded data storage area 15b, and the data recording process shown in FIG. 6 is executed again, and the data in the D-RAM recorded data storage area 15b is stored in the C-RAM. After recording in the medium buffer and turning off the data unrecorded flag 15d, a data recording request is waited.

Further, if the data unrecorded flag 15d is OFF, the data recording request wait is performed again.

This data standby process will continue until the device is powered off.
It is repeatedly executed every time recording data of business processing contents is generated.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the floppy disk device 24
Management files 24a and 16a consisting of the same recording contents are provided on the floppy disk and C-RAMI 6, and when data is recorded on the floppy disk, the contents of the management file 24a of the floppy disk are transferred to the D-RA.
M management file 15a and this D-RA
The content of the M management file 15a and the content of the C-RAM management file 16a are compared, and unless a match is confirmed, data recording is prohibited. If the floppy disk has been replaced with the wrong floppy disk, the operator is notified by an error display or buzzer. Then it will message you to replace it with the correct floppy disk.

Therefore, there is no risk of data loss even if the wrong floppy disk is set. In other words, data can always be reliably recorded on the correct floppy disk.

In addition, if recorded data of business processing contents is generated by an operator operation while the floppy disk device 24 is performing a writing or reading operation, the recorded data is
Since data is stored in the buffer during RAM storage, business processing is not interrupted and operator operations are not disabled.

In the above embodiments, the present invention is applied to a counter terminal, but it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited thereto.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, the validity of the floppy disk is determined each time data is recorded on the floppy disk, and if an incorrect floppy disk is set, the validity of the floppy disk is determined. Therefore, it is possible to provide a business processing device that can always record data reliably on the correct floppy disk.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a business processing device that can execute business without interruption even while the floppy disk device is operating.
