Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain extremely optional heading printing by uniformly managing various heading data and providing the heading data control system with an inherent user document printing mechanism and a general user interface. CONSTITUTION:The heading data of various documents are uniformly managed by a document heading data base part 9. In the case of constructing the contents of the heading data in a data base 9, an instruction is applied from a document heading data managing part 11 to a data base maintenance updating part 10 to display and correct the contents of the heading data stored in the data base 9. When the inherent user document printing mechanism 1 is started, and inherent user document printing part 4 reads out document data inherent in each user from an inherent user document data part 3 and obtains prescribed heading data from a document heading control mechanism 2 to print out and form a document 5 inherent in the user. Thus, extremely optional heading printing can be executed.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is applicable to various types of computer systems 1i:DP,
The present invention relates to a heading data control method for managing and controlling heading data of 1lJj votes.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the EDP/form header data of a computer system has been incorporated into a user's own form printing mechanism.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In this way, in the past, the header data of a form was incorporated into the user's own form printing mechanism, making it impossible to centrally manage, maintain, and update the header data, and furthermore, it was not possible to centrally manage, maintain, or update the header data. Even if there were, there were drawbacks such as the need for multiple form printing mechanisms for different headings, and the inability to print headings with a high degree of freedom.

The present invention has improved such conventional drawbacks, and its purpose is to centrally manage, maintain, and update the header data of a form, and to perform header printing with a high degree of freedom. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heading data control method that allows the following.

[Means to solve the problem]

The heading data control method of the present invention includes a heading data management means that can centrally manage various types of heading data, and a user [I
It has a form printing mechanism and a general-purpose knee interface, and according to instructions from the user's own form printing mechanism, it searches for predetermined heading data from among the centrally managed heading data, and prints out the user's own form. and a search means for providing information to the form printing mechanism.

[For production]

The user-specific form printing mechanism instructs the search means to search for predetermined heading data when printing a heading when printing a user-specific form. Various types of heading data are centrally managed by a heading data management means, and when an instruction to search for heading data is given, the searching means searches for predetermined heading data from among the various types of heading data that are centrally managed; This is given to the user's own form printing mechanism. As a result, the UDE JRE form printing mechanism can obtain predetermined heading data and print a predetermined heading even if heading data is not incorporated therein.

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

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a system to which the heading data control method of the present invention is applied. The system in Figure 1 is
The user's own form printing mechanism 1 is provided independently from the user's own form printing mechanism 1, and has a form header control mechanism 2 that supplies heading data to the user's own form printing mechanism 1. There is.

The user-specific form printing mechanism 1 is configured to print user-owned forms, and includes a user-specific form data section 3 that stores user-specific form data, and a user-specific form data section 3. The user-specific form printing unit 4 prints a form based on the user-specific form data from the user and the heading data from the form header control mechanism 2, and creates a user-specific form 5.

The form heading control mechanism 2 also includes a form heading database section 9 in which static parts of heading data are stored;
a form heading data management unit 11 that centrally manages, maintains, and updates various heading data stored in the form heading database unit 9;
A general-purpose unit that functions as an interface unit between the database maintenance/updating unit 10 that maintains and updates various heading data stored in the form heading database unit 9 according to instructions from the user and the user's own form printing mechanism 4. Based on commands from the deinterface unit 6 and the user-specific printing unit 4 of the user-specific form printing mechanism 2, predetermined heading data is searched from the form heading database unit 9, and the search data and search results are printed on the user-specific form. A database search section 7 that responds to the database search section 4, and a control parameter when the database search section 7 operates, that is, a form heading printing/-parameter section 8 that provides a dynamic part of the heading data.
It has

Next, the heading data control processing operation in such a configuration will be explained. However, when constructing a system such as that shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the heading data of various forms is not incorporated into the user's own form printing mechanism 1, but is centrally managed in the form heading database section 9 independently of the user's own form printing mechanism 1. There is. When constructing the contents of the heading data on the form heading database 9, the user gives an instruction from the form heading data management section 11 to the database maintenance/updating section IO to construct the contents of the heading data stored in the form heading database section 9. Contents can be displayed and edited.

After constructing the contents of the heading data in the form heading database section 9 in this manner, the user can print the form. That is, when the user-specific form printing mechanism 1 is activated, the user-specific form printing unit 4 of the user-specific form printing mechanism 1 reads user-specific form data from the user-specific form data unit 3, and Form header control mechanism 2
Obtain predetermined heading data from
Print and create.

Note that when obtaining heading data from the form heading control mechanism 2, the user-specific form printing section 4 issues a command to the database search section 7 of the form heading control mechanism 2. The database search section 7 is operated by the control parameter from the form header printing meter section 8, searches the predetermined heading data f: @ form header database section 9 instructed by the user's own form printing section 4, and searches the The search data and search results are returned to the user's personal form printing unit 4.

Fig. 2 (a3, b) is a diagram showing an example of a form printed and created by the method of this embodiment. Each of the four headings is "Independent Demand Update List."

In the case of different items such as "Production Plan Update List (Demand)", multiple form printing mechanisms were required; however, in this embodiment, the heading data for each box is printed in the form heading control mechanism 2, which is unique to the user. Since the form printing mechanism 1 is centrally managed independently of the form printing mechanism 1, even when printing forms with different headings as shown in Figure 2 (&) and (b), the user's own form printing mechanism must be used. Double 1! L1 does not have to be fixed, and heading printing can be performed with a high degree of freedom.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention centrally manages the heading data of each box, and searches for a predetermined heading from among various managed heading data based on instructions from the EDE 1-specific form printing mechanism. Since it is applied to the individual form printing mechanism, there is an effect that heading printing can be performed with a high degree of freedom.
