Embodiments Next, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2
3 is a diagram showing the contents of the user information of the sub-program means in the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the contents of the information file in the embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention has a main program means 2 which is connected to an external storage device 10 and performs transaction processing.
A central processing unit 8 is connected to a plurality of terminal devices 1, and a menu information maintenance program 6 is set in an external storage device 10 for setting, changing, adding, and deleting information on menu title selection items. The central processing unit 8 includes a sub-program means 3 for retaining user information, and the main program means 2 receives a menu screen acquisition request from a plurality of terminal devices 1. At times, means for referring to the contents of the user information of the subprogram means 3 and the contents of the information file 4, and displaying a requested menu on the terminal device 1, and a plurality of terminal devices 1.
When we receive a request for changes, additions, or deletions from
It also includes means for loading the menu information maintenance program 6 into the central processing unit 8 to process the corresponding contents held in the information file 4 in accordance with the instructions thereof.

Further, the user information held in the sub-program means 3 includes the terminal name and menu type, and the information file 4 includes the menu type, menu number, selection item, program name, and next menu number. include.

Main program means 2 and sub program means 3
operate on the same central processing unit 8. Therefore, under the control of the operating system, when one program is being executed at a certain timing, other programs are waiting for execution. Further, the execution unit of the transaction processing program is from receiving data from the terminal device 1 to transmitting the data to the terminal device 1, and file data is released at other timings.

The operation of the embodiment of the present invention will now be explained. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing operations of the main program means 2 according to the embodiment of the invention, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing operations of the subprogramming means 2 of the embodiment of the invention.

[0014] First, the main program means 2
When receiving an online connection request from a user, the terminal name and corresponding menu type are searched from the user information in the sub-program means 3. Next, the content including the menu number, selection item, and program name corresponding to the retrieved menu type is read from the information file 4 of the external storage device 10,
Edit the menu screen based on the read contents. The edited menu screen is sent to the terminal device 1, and the selected items on the menu screen are received from the terminal device 1. From the time the file data is sent to the terminal device 1 until the time it is received, the file data is released under the control of the operating system as described above.

[0015] Upon receiving the selection items from the terminal device 1,
It is determined whether the necessary business program is selected or not, and if it is selected, that business program is called. If it is not selected, the process returns to the process of reading the menu type from the information file 4.

On the other hand, the menu information maintenance program 6 of the external storage device 10 updates the information file 4 after the main program means 2 transmits the edited menu screen to the terminal device 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a key item of data to be maintained is received from the terminal device 1, and the contents of the information file 4 are read out according to the key item. The read content is transmitted to the terminal device 1, the modified content is received, and the content of the information file 4 is updated.

[0017] By performing such updating, the next time the main program means 2 reads out the menu file from the information file 4 in order to execute the program, the contents of the data will have already been updated.

From the point of view of the operator on the terminal device 1 side, there is no need to send data to the menu information maintenance program 6 while being aware of whether or not the main program means 2 is being executed; If this is done, the data from the terminal device 1 will be passed and executed at the timing when the menu information maintenance program means 6 can be executed under the control of the operating system on the host computer side.

[0019] Even if the online system is in operation, such processing is performed by selecting a menu from the terminal device 1 after the information file 4 has been updated, and the main program means 2 operates to transmit the next menu screen. The content will be updated at the appropriate timing.
