BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to power-on, power-off, reset, start, and stop of parts related to the operation of a main unit such as a data processing device, peripheral devices, terminal devices, equipment, and other electric devices. Operations that have a significant effect on the system, such as restart, are judged from the personal history of the operator concerned and the input error rate due to the relationship with the natural environment,
The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus including a unit that predicts a message output and a response unit suitable for a corresponding operator to prevent an erroneous operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a conventional data processing device. Conventionally, a main unit such as a data processing device shown in FIG. 10 ｛host CPU 1, main storage device (MM)
3, consisting of channel device (CH) 2, etc., peripheral devices, terminal devices, equipment, and other electrical devices (hereinafter, input / output devices)
4) is shifted from a mechanical switch operation by a key operation on the keyboard (KB) 5 to a cursor or mouse operation on the screen of the display device 50.

[0003] Even with the mechanical switch or the operation of the cursor or the mouse on the screen of the display device 50, human operation errors cannot be completely prevented. The current data processing device employs a method of reconfirming the operation content by displaying the content operated by the operator on the display screen of the display device 50. But,
As the operator (operator) gains experience, these console operations become faster and the confirmation becomes faster, but even with the habit, even the phenomenon that the hand or body moves before thinking may occur. In some cases, it may cause erroneous operation and lead to a serious accident.

As a similar technique for preventing an erroneous operation by an operator, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-81916, entitled "Method of Controlling Key Input Operation of Processing Unit". The technique disclosed in this publication is summarized as follows. "At least a plurality of key input operations created on the basis of a condition consisting of pressing time intervals of a plurality of keys pressed by an operator, suitability of the keys for a process currently being executed, and types of the keys. The content data is stored in advance, and based on the key input operation by pressing the key from the operator, the content of the key input operation is read out according to the above conditions, and the validity of the key input operation content is determined, For example, the processing content is interrupted or the operation instruction guidance is displayed. "The operation history of the operator is accumulated, and the operation history of the operator is referred to. By, by getting used to 該操 author, earlier than think, based on the phenomenon say that the hands and the body will move, it is not intended to prevent the cause of the erroneous operation.

[0005]

The erroneous operation as described above is
In the process from human thinking to movement, it arises from repetition of habituation, and as a result of repeating similar thinking paths, operations are performed on the same thought path as an extension, so monotonous head function It is caused by falling.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional drawbacks, in order to change such a monotonous thought path and action pattern.
It is an object of the present invention to provide means for preventing a user from following a path different from a thought path / action instruction performed by an operation by giving an instruction with a message or the like that repeats the operation instruction.

[0007] For example, various stimulating methods such as stimulating hearing by sound, stimulating bodily sensation by temperature, and stimulating olfaction by odor are conceivable. By making full use of these five senses, it is intended to prevent serious accidents due to getting used to.

[0008]

The message display means is configured to determine whether to add a voice output to the message display means.

That is, taking a data processing apparatus as shown in FIG. 10 as an example, when a specific peripheral device 4 must be separated from system resources (system resources) for some reason, the operation is performed. (Operator)
Is the system console panel ｛keyboard (KB)｝ 5
Perform resource separation operation for.

On the other hand, the operating system (O
S) performs necessary processing on the resource management program, and then displays the system console display device (display device).
For 50, a message is output to the effect that the relevant device has been disconnected from the system resources.

Then, the operator operates the corresponding device (peripheral device).
Perform necessary operations such as turning off the power toward the operation panel in 4). This is a normal operator's behavior, but when the operator is in a normal physical condition and is in a normal mental state, and most of the people start working and behaving, most people take cautious and faithful behaviors. .

A more careful person performs the operation while looking at the manual. Therefore, immediately after starting a new task or action, a serious accident due to incorrect operation is unlikely to occur, but rather often occurs after a while and getting used to.

Therefore, in the present invention, the operation history of each operator (operator) is comprehensively determined, and the operation instruction is repeated. Furthermore, the format of the operation instruction is not monotonous and the same format, but means for promoting thinking is adopted.

That is, according to the present invention, each operator is required to prevent an erroneous operation due to visual disparity or repetition of the same pattern.
The most suitable method for the (operator) is predicted from the operation history information of each operator (operator), and the operation method and the response method are instructed.

According to the present invention described above, an erroneous operation is prevented by predicting and instructing an optimum message output and response method at the time of operation from the operation history of each operator, and the prevention efficiency is improved as the elapsed time becomes longer. Can be gradually increased.

This is because the operator is instructed to perform daily operations by predicting the optimal message output and response method from the relationship between the personal environment and the natural environment and the input error rate.

9 is a flowchart of a process for calculating an input error rate, generating operation history information for each operator, and preventing erroneous operations. FIG. 3 shows the processing in the host CPU 1. First, the operator (operator) inputs his / her own identification number (ID) and loads various data files (age, years of experience, etc.) relating to the operator. (Refer to processing steps S1 and S2.) Next, loading and setting of environmental condition data, initialization of a data collection table, and loading of a stored data file (start time / end time, work elapsed time, etc.) are performed. (See processing steps S3 and S4) Keyboard (KB) キ ー ボ ー ド As shown in this figure, the keyboard (KB) connected to the service processor (SVP)
For example, the system console is called｝ 5 and manages the configuration and other operations of the entire data processing device.In｝ 5, it is monitored whether the start command from the service processor (SVP) is a read command for the keyboard (KB) 5. If the start command is a read command, FIG.

(See processing step S5) In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1a denotes program control means for managing the execution of a program, that is, an operating system (OS) executed by the host CPU 1, and reference numeral 10 denotes input information from an operator, environmental information, and the like. An input measuring means 11 for measuring and inputting the data is a totaling means. In the present embodiment, the totaling means 11 calculates the input error rate. Numeral 12 is a stored data storage means for storing an operation history for each operator in a predetermined format. 13 is a message output response level determining means, and 14 is a message output unit. As shown in FIG. 2, the input measuring means 10 includes a microprocessor (MP) of a keyboard (KB) 5.
U) or software processing by the host CPU 1. Each of the means 11 to 13 is realized mainly by software processing in which the host CPU 1 executes a corresponding program stored in the main storage (MM) 3.

The program control means 1a is a program part for managing the entire erroneous operation prevention management system. The stored data storage means 12 stores the past operation results of each operator, and when the message output response level determining means 13 determines the message output response level, the stored data refers to the stored data close to the current environment. Is provided to the message output response level determining means 13.

The stored data storage means 12 stores the past operation history executed by the operator, the weather at the time of operation,
Provides natural environment data such as temperature and humidity, and is referred to when determining the message output response level.

The counting means 11 calculates an input error rate based on the total number of input characters and the numerical value of the number of backspaces operated by an erroneous operation, for example, in addition to the measurement data sent from the input measuring means 10. Then, the calculation result is sent to the stored data storage means 12 for storage.

The input measuring means 10 is a data processing device,
For example, the time from when the character reading command is transmitted from the service processor (SVP) is read by the input measuring means 10 to when the operator inputs the first character is measured and stored. The number of characters input from the eyes until the enter key indicating the end of the input is pressed is counted and stored, and the input speed is calculated and stored.

When a command to read a measured value, a count value, and a calculated value is received from the service processor (SVP),
The measured value, count value, and calculated value are transmitted to the command source. The input measuring means 10 sequentially updates and temporarily stores data relating to natural environments such as weather, temperature, and humidity based on input data from a predetermined sensor (not shown) or a keyboard (KB) 5. Via the totalizing means 11, the accumulated data storing means 12 creates and provides information which is stored in a predetermined storage area and which analyzes the relationship with the individual operator when determining the message output response level.

Message output response level determining means 13
The operator, for example, considering the relationship between the age and the input error rate, the relationship between the number of years of experience and the input error rate, the relationship between the lapse of operation time and the input error rate, etc., predicting the erroneous operation of the corresponding operator, Optimal message output and response method for the current applicable operator
(Response level described later).

The message referred to here is an operation instruction message to the operator, and the level of the message and the response are represented by a level for outputting the same message twice, a level for outputting the same message three times, and different expressions. The method is properly used depending on the current situation of the corresponding operator such as outputting the same content twice.

The message output means 14 outputs a predetermined message in accordance with the response level selected by the message output response level judgment means 13 described above. FIG. 4 above
An embodiment of each means described in (1) will be described below. FIG.
9 shows an example in which the time measurement until the first character measured by the input measurement means 10 is input is realized by hardware.

For example, a microprocessor (MPU) provided in the keyboard (KB) 5 and a service processor (SVP)
Detects that a character reading command has been transmitted from the device and, when decoding the command, activates a timer 100 for detecting the first character and detects that the first character has been input by the operator. By suppressing the operation of the timer 100 for detecting the first character, reading out the timer 100 for detecting the first character, and sending it to the processor control means 1a via the service processor (SVP). The input measuring means 10 can acquire time information until the measured first character is input.

Although the above example has been described using hardware means as an example, it goes without saying that it may be realized by software means. In the above input measurement means 10,
In addition to the time information until the first character is input, information on the number of characters continuously input, or information on the number of characters incorrectly input, or flag information for identifying an input based on a re-input request instruction, or Input time information, or average input time information, or the environment in which the operation is being performed, for example, weather, temperature, and humidity information are input from the keyboard (KB) 5 or automatically obtained from a predetermined sensor. The means is realized by hardware or software means.

The flag information for identifying the input based on the re-input request instruction indicates that, when the operator has input one line of characters, the program control means 1a indicates that the currently input character input is erroneous. A flag bit that is set when instructed, and when there is a character input from the operator while the flag bit is set, it is recognized that the input is based on the re-input request instruction, For example, when calculating the average of the input character speed, it is used to calculate the average of the input character speed based on the number of characters input first and the number of characters input by re-input.

Next, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of calculating the input error rate and summing up as an example of the summing means. The totaling means 11 returns the total number of input characters F (t) transmitted from the input measuring means 10 of the keyboard (KB) 5 and the operator notices an erroneous input during the input operation, and returns to the erroneous position by backspace. R (e)
Based on the above, the input error rate IPER is calculated by IPER = R (e) / (F (t) + R (e)), and is set as one of the operation history information for each operator described later. This calculation can be processed by using an addition circuit and a multiplication circuit included in the host CPU 1.

Next, FIG. 7 shows an example of a format of data stored in the stored data storage means 12. In this embodiment, as the operation history information for each operator, the total number of characters F (t), the number of backspaces R (e), and the time until the first character is input in the format shown in FIG. Time T (f),
Average character speed T (i), input error rate IPER mentioned above, re-input flag bit information FR, age, years of experience, input start / end time, elapsed time from work start time, weather, temperature, humidity, etc. For each user, the total number of operations is stored.

Next, FIG. 8 shows an example of the response level in the message output response level judgment output. In the present embodiment, for example, an example in which 12 levels are provided as response levels will be described.

The message referred to here is an operation instruction currently performed by the operator. Levels 1 to 4 repeat the operation instruction a plurality of times based on the operation history of the operator, and The warning message is displayed on the display screen of No. 50 to prevent erroneous operation.

At level 5, erroneous input is prevented by accepting only operator IDs of a level having a predetermined qualification from the operation history of the operator and rejecting input of operators of other IDs. Things.

Levels 6 to 8 are for displaying the same message (operation instruction) on the display screen of the display device 50 and repeating voice output a plurality of times to call attention to erroneous operation.

Level 9 is: operation console ｛keyboard (KB)｝ 5
Are provided, and only when operators having a plurality of different IDs perform the same operation, input information is accepted, thereby preventing erroneous operation.

At level 10, an erroneous operation is prevented by disabling an input operation unless a certain operation (a predetermined operation or the like) is performed simultaneously in parallel. Level 11 is a protection function that functions on condition that a certain operation is performed within a predetermined time.

At the level 12, a response to a certain operation is a protection function that is activated when a response is made by voice. Each of these levels is determined based on the past operation history information of the operator by a message output response level determining means.
13 can judge and select the most appropriate level to prevent erroneous operation.

FIG. 9 schematically shows an example of the judgment processing in the message output response level judgment means 13. Here, the past operation history information of the operator is read, and, for example, the illustrated radar chart is generated. This embodiment is an example in which the radar chart is formed with the above-described T (f), R (e), T (i), IPER, a re-input rate (total number of characters / number of backspaces), and the like. .

This message output response level determining means 13
Then, based on the radar chart, the IP corresponding to the age
Changes in FR error rate, changes in re-input rate, T (f),
Analyze the changes in R (e) and T (i) and summarize which items are changing in response to age, and, for example, accumulate the totaled data for each month. By selecting a message output response level for the operator (operator) on the day shown in FIG. 8 from the accumulated data, a message can be displayed at a level based on the operation results of the operator (operator). The operation is performed, and an erroneous operation on the day can be prevented.
