Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] To obtain a program reserved operation method capable of reserved operation even in the case of a program having a temporary stop operation, like a program without a temporary stop operation. [Configuration] A reservation process ST1 and an execution process ST2 are included. In the reservation process ST1, a provisional execution program is created, the reservation operation program is rewritten to read a reference file, and the time at which the reservation is executed and the name of the program to be executed are registered. Further, the temporary execution program is executed, and the input of the operator under the selection condition is recorded in the reference file. In the execution step ST2, the modified program is started at the registered time, and when executing the selection condition, since the input is made from the reference file, there is no temporary stop for receiving the input from the operator. . Therefore, it is possible to perform reserved driving even in a program with a temporary stop.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a method for operating a program on a computer by reservation. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for performing reserved operation of a program that is temporarily stopped during execution.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a reserved operation method is generally used in which the operation of a computer is controlled by reservation of time (including date). In such a reserved operation method, for example, it is possible to specify the time when the computer is turned on / off or the time when the specific program is started.

As a related technique, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-14
5530 discloses a job generation method, JP-A-63-196924 discloses a computer startup method, and JP-A-63-209361 discloses a reservation service device. Has been done.

[0004]

In the conventional computer reserved operation method, it was practically impossible to reserve and activate a program having a temporary stop during the operation. Here, the pause is generally caused by PAUSE or a select condition.

PAUSE is a temporary stop of a program in order to prompt the operator to confirm the data or operation. Usually, the operator presses the return key, the OK button, or any key to execute the data or operation. Was authenticated and the suspension was released.

The selection condition is that the program is suspended to prompt the operator to select the data. The selection of data may be performed by the operator directly inputting it, or it may be possible to select a certain number of candidates from among them. Then, when the operator selects the data, the temporary stop state is released and the process is continued.

In either case, if there is a temporary stop, the program will stop its execution. Therefore, if the operator is not near the computer terminal at that time, simply specifying the time to start it , In principle, the program is in a stopped state until it is operated by the operator while it is temporarily stopped. Therefore, the target calculation process may be performed at a completely different time even if the reservation is activated.

Therefore, conventionally, there has been a problem that a program having a pause operation such as PAUSE or a select condition cannot generally be reserved and activated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to make a reservation start even in the case of a program having a pause operation such as PAUSE or a select condition, like a program having no pause operation. It is to get a reservation driving method of a program that can be performed.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a reserved operation method of a program having a reservation process and an execution process, wherein the reservation process is an object of reservation activation. Including a modification step of modifying the program in advance, a reservation start time, and a reservation registration step of registering the program, wherein the modification step is based on the program from the beginning of the program to the operator. Write command to write out the partial program up to the position where the operator input wait command exists for waiting for the input of data from the And a tentative execution program creation step of creating a tentative execution program by adding an end command for ending execution, A check command for searching the reference file for the operator input waiting command existing in the program and checking the existence of the reference file; and as a result of the check command, if the reference file exists, read the data of the reference file. , A reference file read / erase command for erasing the reference file, and an operator input waiting command for waiting for data input from the operator if the reference file does not exist as a result of the inspection command. A rewriting step of modifying the program, wherein the reservation registration step includes a time registration step of registering a time to execute a reservation, a program name registration step of registering the program name to be reserved and executed, A reference file that starts the temporary execution program and creates the reference data file in which the data input by the operator is recorded. Wherein the creation step, and after completion of the reservation registration step, said reference file is created, the execution step, in the reservation registration process,
When the registered time comes, the data from the reference file is read by the starting step of starting the registered and rewritten program in the rewriting step and the reference file reading and deleting command of the program. A program reservation operation method comprising: a reading and erasing step of erasing the reference file; and a processing continuing step of continuing the processing of the program after the reading and erasing step.

Therefore, since the operation of the operator is input into the reference file in advance, the program modified to refer to the reference file can input the data from the reference file.

[0012]

In the reservation process of the present invention, a reference file for storing the operator's input is created in advance, and the program for reserved operation is modified so as to refer to the reference file. Further, in the executing step, since the modified program is executed, if there is a reference file, the data from the reference file is used instead of the operator's input. Therefore, a pause due to PAUSE, select conditions, etc. does not occur during reserved driving.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a program reservation operation method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the program reservation operation method according to the present embodiment is roughly divided into a reservation process ST1 and an execution process ST2. The reservation process ST1 is a process for preparing the program for reserved operation, and the process further includes a modification process ST1-1 for modifying the program and a reservation registration process ST1-2 for performing the reservation registration of the program. I'm out.
The execution step ST2 is a step of operating the program at a predetermined time based on the reservation.
Starting process ST2-1 for starting the program at a predetermined time
And a reading and erasing step S for reading the preset operator's input from the reference file created at the time of reservation
T2-2 and processing continuation step ST2 for continuing the remaining processing
-3 and.

A feature of this embodiment is that the operator's input is recorded in the reference file in advance in the reservation process ST1 and the process is not stopped by reading the reference file in the execution process ST2. is there. Hereinafter, the reservation process ST1 and the execution process ST2 will be described in detail.

Reservation Process FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the detailed process of the reservation process ST1. As shown in FIG. 2, the reservation process ST1 includes a modification process ST1-1 and a reservation registration process S.
It is roughly divided into T1-2. In addition, modification step ST1-1
2B, as shown in FIG. 2B, the temporary execution program creating step ST1-1-1 and the rewriting step ST1-1.
-2 and.

The temporary execution program is a program used in a reservation registration step ST1-2 described later and for storing the operator's input in a reference file in advance. FIG. 3 shows how this temporary execution program is created in the temporary execution program creation step ST1-1-1. As shown in FIG. 3, based on the program that is the target of the reserved operation, the portion from the beginning of the program to the selection condition etc. is extracted. Then, an instruction to write the input by the operator in the reference file and an end instruction to end the execution are added to the end of the extracted portion. When the temporary execution program created in this way is executed, the data input by the operator according to the selection condition or the like is recorded in the reference file. In FIG. 3, the name of the original program is “A” and the name of the temporary execution program is “temporary A”.

In the rewriting process ST1-1-2,
The program that is the target of reserved operation is modified to read the reference file during reserved operation. The manner in which this modification is made is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the selection condition of the original program "A" is rewritten into an instruction for reading the reference file. It should be noted that the modified program "kai A" operates normally even in cases other than reserved operation. In the present embodiment, the normal selection condition is executed when the reference file does not exist. Has been modified to. Then, after reading the reference file or executing the selection condition, the remaining second half of the program is executed. In this way, the program “kai A” modified in the present embodiment does not enter the stopped state by inputting the data recorded in the reference file when the reference file exists.

When the above operations are completed, the program is ready for registration at the reservation registration step ST1-2.

The reservation registration step ST1-2 includes a time registration step ST1-2-1 for registering a starting time and a program name registration step ST1 for registering a name of a program to be executed.
-2-2 and a reference file creating step ST1-2-3. In the time registration step ST1-2-1, the operator specifies the time to start the reserved operation, and in the program name registration step ST1-2-2, the operator specifies the program name in which the reserved operation is performed. When the registration of the time and the program name is completed in this way, the reference file is created by executing the temporary execution program of the program next.

This is exactly what is characteristic of this embodiment. That is, the provisional execution program is executed when the reservation registration is performed, so that the selection conditions of the target program are executed in advance. In this way, up to the selection condition is executed in advance, and the result is recorded in the reference file, so there is no need for the operator to directly input at the time of reserved operation.

As described above, the preparation for the reserved operation of the program is completed.

Execution Process The execution process ST2 is, as described above, the starting process ST2-.
1, a reading and erasing step ST2-2, and a process continuing step S
It is composed of three steps of T2-3. Start-up process ST
2-1 is a step of starting the program reserved in the reservation step ST1 when the current time reaches the reserved operation start time. The target program is started by this starting step ST2-1. In this respect, the present embodiment is exactly the same as the conventional one.

At this time, the modified program is started. That is, the first half up to the selection condition is executed in the same manner as a normal operation. Then, when it comes to the position of the select condition before being modified, an instruction to read the reference file is inserted instead of the select condition, and therefore the read operation of the reference file is started. If the reference file exists, the reference file is read instead of input by the operator, and the temporary stop state is not entered. Incidentally.
The reference file is read and then deleted. This is because the modified program is also used in normal driving that is not a reserved driving, but at that time, if there is a reference file, processing will continue without pausing, so it will In preparation, the reference files that are no longer needed are deleted.

This is exactly the characteristic point of this embodiment. That is, the program modified in this embodiment, depending on whether the reference file exists,
It is determined whether it is a reserved driving or a normal driving. This is the reason why the reference file is created in the reservation registration process ST1-2 and deleted in the read / delete process.

Finally, in the process continuing step ST2-3, after the reference file is referenced, the process of the latter half of the program is continued.

As described above, the reserved program is executed at the reserved time.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the program has a pause due to PAUSE, a selection condition or the like in the middle of the process, the reserved operation can be performed by designating the time.

[0029]

As described above, according to the program reservation operation method of the present invention, the reservation operation cannot be performed conventionally. P
It is possible to easily make a reserved operation even with a program having a temporary stop due to AUSE or a selection condition.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the utilization time of the computer can be made flexible, and the computing capacity can be utilized more efficiently.
