DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a communication control method for realizing a key input simulation function, which is an embodiment of the present invention. This communication control method uses a personal computer 1 connected to a host computer via a communication control device such as a modem.
A simple operation function process 2 that interprets input commands and issues instructions, a time control process 3 that controls time according to the instructions, a communication software management process 4 that executes input simulation, and a communication board 6. The system includes a communication control process 5 that controls and transmits data, and automates data transfer by key input simulation. Read input command 9 in simple operation function process 2, and enter the command's "/CTLG parameter"
is interpreted, the command file 10 specified by the file name is read, and the keyword "K1" specified on the command input screen 9 is read. Command file 1
0 and the parameter "/KEYS" following the keyword "K1"
\CLR\'' is interpreted by the simple operation process 2, and the communication software management process 4 performs screen clear key simulation (screen clear request). The communication software management process 4 clears the screen and notifies the easy operation function process 2 of its completion by a return code. Next, the return code "θ" input after the keyword is read. The easy operation function process 2 compares this return code with the previously notified return code, and if they are not equal, the easy operation function process 2 ends. If they are equal, the easy operation function process 2 uses the next keyword “K
2" in command file 10, and enter the command "/KEYS LOGON TERM" following "K2".
¥ENT¥” and log on parameter LOGO
N TERM input simulation is performed in communication software management process 4. The communication software management process 4 displays the logon parameter LOGON TERM on the screen, and displays the logon parameter LOGON TERM on the screen.
The transmission of M is performed by the communication control program 5. The communication control process 5 sends the logon parameter LOGON TERM to the host computer via the communication board 6, and
OGON screen data is received and the screen data is passed to the communication software management process 4. The communication software management process 4 displays the LOGON screen data on the expanded screen, and notifies the simple operation function process 2 of its completion by a return code. The simple operation function process 2 compares the return code "θ" following "K2" inputted on the command input screen 9 with the notified return code, and ends if they are not equal. If they are equal, the easy operation function process 2 reads the next keyword "K3" input on the command input screen 9 and read by the easy operation function process 2, searches the command file 10, and executes "/WAIT 30 /KEYS USER-I".
Interpret “D ¥ENT¥” and send it to time control process 3 “
30” will be notified. After 30 seconds have passed, the time control process 3 notifies the simple operation function process 2 that "30 seconds have passed". Easy operation function process 2 uses the following command "/KEYS USER-ID
\ENT\'' is interpreted, and the communication software management process 4 performs a USER-ID input simulation. The communication software management process 4 displays the USER-ID on the screen, and requests the communication control process 5 to send the USER-ID. The communication control process 5 transmits the USER-ID to the host computer 7 via the communication board 6, and when the response data of the USER-ID is communicated, the response data is passed to the communication software management process 4. The communication software management process 4 displays the USER-ID response data on the screen, and notifies the simple operation function process 2 of its completion using a return code. Easy operation function process 2
is the return code “θ” that follows “K3” that was input on the command input screen 9 and read by the simple operation function process 2.
” and the notified return code, and if they are not equal, the process ends there, and if they are equal, the execution proceeds to the next word “K4”. "/WAIT 30" when running "K3"
The LOGON screen data is displayed and expanded by USER.
- After the ID input is enabled, select “/KEYS USE”
R-ID ¥ENT¥” is executed. Figure 2 shows /C
This shows a configuration in which the contents of each keyword are read from a command file by inputting a TLG command, and each parameter following the keyword is executed. The simple operation function process 2' interprets the /CTRG command on the command input screen 9, reads the file with the file name specified on the command input screen 9, reads the keyword "Kn" specified on the command input screen 9, and executes the command. Search for "Kn" in the file 10 and execute the parameters following "Kn". After execution, simple operation function process 2'
A return code is returned. In the simple operation function process, the returned return code is compared with the return code specified following the keyword on the command input screen 9. If they are not equal, the process ends there, and if they are equal, the next code is specified in the simple operation function process 2'. Executes the specified keywords until the last keyword. Figure 3 shows how to use the "/CTLG", "/KEYS", and "/WAIT" commands. "/CTLG" writes the command following "keyword" in the file specified by "file name". , execute the command and check the returned "return code" and the specified "return code". "/K
EYS" simulates the keystroke specified by the following parameter. "/WAIT" is /WAIT
Executes the following parameters after the specified time (unit: seconds) has elapsed.
