Further, in response to a reply request from the device 304, the device transmission F310 is referred to and transmission is performed.

When the extraction processing unit 322 is activated from the keyboard 306, the extraction processing unit 322 outputs the data of the collection F309 to the extraction F311 which is a sequential file.

As described above, the conventional data collection / delivery system enables the collection and distribution of data to a plurality of devices by combining the personal computer and the LAN.

[0010]

The above-described conventional data collection / distribution system is configured such that a plurality of devices having an RS-232C interface and a data collection / distribution device are connected by a LAN, and the data collection / distribution is performed with respect to the plurality of devices. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not suitable for online use such as receiving information from the outside.

[0011]

A data collection and distribution system for an information display board according to the present invention is an information display board for displaying board display information which is various character information, and a registration terminal for registering and managing the board display information. Device, a receiving terminal device that receives information from an external information providing source, and rewrites the board display information registered in the registration terminal device based on the information, and the information registered by the registration terminal device and the receiving terminal device And a distribution terminal device that distributes the information processed in 1. to the information display board using a public network, and the registration terminal device, the distribution terminal device, and the reception terminal device are connected by a LAN. .

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an embodiment of the basic configuration of a data collection and distribution device for an information display board according to the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a system using the data collection and distribution system for information display boards of the present embodiment.

1 and 2, the data collection and distribution system for an information display board of this embodiment has a registration terminal 1 having a registration process 11 and a display editing process 12, a reception process 21 and an extraction process 22. Receiving terminal 2 and message editing process 3
1 and a distribution terminal 3 having a distribution process 32, the registration terminal 1, the reception terminal 2 and the distribution terminal 3 are connected by a LAN, and the distribution terminal 3 and the information display board 5 are the public network 4 Connected by.

Next, the operation of the data collection and distribution system for the information display board of this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

The registration terminal 1 registers, edits, and stores information to be displayed on the information display board. The information received from the external information providing source at the receiving terminal 2 is transmitted to the registration terminal 1. The distribution terminal 3 distributes the display board information processed by the registration terminal 1 to the information display board 5 using the public line network 4.

Upon reception of information from an external information providing source, the reception process 21 of the reception terminal 2 is activated, and the extraction process 2
Pass the data to 2.

The extraction processing 22 refers to the extraction F8 of the registration terminal 1, selects data, and transmits the data to the registration terminal 1.

The registration terminal 1 activates the display editing process 12 by receiving the data from the receiving terminal 2, and the display editing process 12 that has acquired the data refers to the registration management F6 to display the display F.
Edit 10. The registration terminal 1 sets the extraction conditions, the distribution environment, the system environment, and the display data as initial settings on the screen.

Each process of initial setting will be described below.

The extraction conditions are set for selection of external information, and the set contents are output to the extraction F8. To set the delivery environment, set the telephone number, etc., and set the delivery management F
Output to 9. The system environment setting defines the presence / absence of the receiving terminal 2 and the number of connected delivery terminals 3, and the system management F7
Output to. The display data is registered by setting the display order of the external information data, directly registering / changing the display content, and outputting it to the registration management F6 and the display F10.

The distribution terminal 3 activates the message editing process 31 by receiving the data from the registration terminal 1. The message editing process 31 refers to the distribution management F9 and the display F10 of the registration terminal 1, converts the message format into a message format so that the information display board 5 can receive the data, and passes the data to the distribution process 32 after the conversion. The distribution process 32 manages transmission to the information display board 5 in units of telephone numbers in the data.

[0023]

As described above, in the data collection / delivery system, the usage form varies from user to user due to the difference in system size, required information, etc. (required / not required for receiving terminal).

The data collection and distribution system of the present invention is a distribution terminal for distributing information to an information display board whose main purpose is to display interest rates, a registration function for managing distribution information, and reception information. The registration terminal having the editing function of and the function of the receiving terminal that receives information from the outside are built by an inexpensive personal computer and connected by LAN.
By controlling in a distributed manner, it is possible to deal with various usage patterns that differ for each user.
