Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an information processing method that allows operation testing of a terminal device from one company to be carried out online and only from an information processing device.

The conventional technique for checking the operation of terminal devices such as display devices connected to a central computer is to dispatch an operator to each display device and have the operator perform the necessary operations in response to commands from the computer. It was a method similar to doing this.

When using this method, as the number of display devices installed on the computer increases, the number of operators increases accordingly. It is not possible to shorten the time even though the number of employees is increased, and the efficiency is also poor.

The present WA was devised to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional method described above, and its purpose is to provide automatic data generation means on the terminal device side, and to use the means to generate commands and data sent from the information processing device side. In response to the request, the above means sends the required data to the information processing device, thereby eliminating the need for an operator at the terminal device and efficiently transmitting the required data online in a short period of time. It is important to provide an information processing method that can send and receive information.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an information processing system of the present invention, for example, a display system for telephone voting (1), and FIG. 2 shows a terminal device of the information processing system (1) in FIG. 1 (the display device will be described below).
(iii) shows the configuration of

In FIG. 1, (3) is a data generation start and stop means, which is connected to a central processing unit (including a display unit and a display unit via a transmission line (2)). Specifically, the data generation start/stop means port) consists of a typewriter 46) and an attached paper tape reading device ff), which generates an automatic data generation start command signal (A) from the typewriter (2). At the same time as this signal is generated, initial setting data (B) is generated from the paper tape reader.

The line (6) that sends these signals and data to the display device (2)
) is connected to the transmission data processing circuit (8) and the reception data processing circuit (9) of the display device (2), as shown in FIG. 2, and these circuit bodies) and (91) are connected to each other.

A data automatic generation means is connected to the transmission data processing circuit (transmission data processing circuit).

Specifically, this means is a transmission data processing circuit (@)K
It consists of a connected automatic data generation circuit 1fJ and a data storage circuit (2). The data storage circuit I is for storing the above-mentioned initial setting data, and is the data automatic generation circuit 1.
is for generating required data according to the data output from the data storage circuit image 2.

Further, a display control circuit (2) is connected to the received data processing circuit (-), and a keystroke data processing circuit shaft and a character display section (cathode layer tube) are connected to the circuit (-). The keystroke data processing circuit a4 is configured to receive input from the keystroke input section -.

The operation of the information processing system of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.
The telephone voting operation mode will be explained as an example.

When an operator engaged in the operation of the central processing unit (4) presses a predetermined key on the typewriter (6) to generate an automatic data generation start command signal (mu), the paper tape is punched in advance. Initial setting data stored in
B) is read by the paper tape reader (7), and these signals and data are sent to the line (2) via the central processing unit (4).
).

In response to the signal (A)K received from the line (5), the received data processing circuit (9) stores the initial setting data (B) in the data storage circuit image, and also performs a telephone vote to determine the operation of the entire display device. Set the operation mode.

Initial setting data (B) ti consists of a series of data necessary for generating each required data to be described later from the automatic data generation circuit (2).

After the initial setting data (11) is stored in the data storage circuit 0, the data for start data generation among the data is output from the data storage circuit aa, and the start data is generated from the automatic data generation circuit I based on the data of Jin. The data is displayed in the input area of the character display section and is transmitted from the data processing circuit (8) to the central processing unit (4) via the line (2) (arrow (C) in Figure 511). Central processing unit (
In 4), normal start processing is performed.

After that, data for generating voting data is output from the data storage circuit α, and based on the data, voting data is generated from the data generating circuit 1 and the data is input into the input area of the character display section II. At the same time, it is sent from the transmission data processing circuit (8) to the central processing unit (4) via the line (5).
(Fig. 1 arrow (C), l.

The central processing unit (4) performs normal voting processing. This operation is performed a predetermined number of times based on the above-mentioned initial setting data.

Next, data for generating repeated data is output from the data storage circuit ■, and in response to this, the automatic data generating circuit arJ generates repeated data and displays it in the input area of the character display section (to), as well as transmitting data. From the processing circuit (8) I! (5) and is sent to the central processing unit (4) (first
Figure arrow (C)). The central processing unit (4) performs normal repeat processing. This operation is also performed a predetermined number of times based on the above-mentioned initial setting data.

The final operation is an operation to end the above series of operations, in which data for generating end data is output from the data storage circuit axis, end data is generated from the automatic data generation circuit (■) in response, and character display section a ! The data is displayed in the input area of I and sent from the transmission data processing circuit (8) to the central processing unit (arrow (C) in Figure 1) via the line (transmission).
The central processing unit (4) performs normal termination processing.

These operations are repeated until the operator presses a predetermined key on the data automatic generation/stopping means (3), for example, a typewriter (6).

Oka, the above operation was described for the case of one display device, but if there are multiple display devices, the exchange of signals and data between them and the central processing unit (4) can be performed using a known interrupt method. I will only state that it will be done and omit the details.

As described above, in the present invention, in response to a setting instruction from the central processing unit (4), the corresponding response data is automatically sent from the display device (2) side to the central processing unit (4). Therefore, there is no longer any need to dispatch an operator to each display device as in the past.Furthermore, the response between the central processing unit (4) and the display device (2) is instantaneous. The above-mentioned operation state confirmation can be carried out efficiently in a short period of time.

In the above embodiment, an online operation test has been described, but the signals and data emitted from the central processing unit (4) can be changed as appropriate to apply to program development, processing capacity tests, load tests, etc. . Furthermore, it can be applied not only to display devices but also to other terminal devices. The automatic data generation means may be configured by software.

In summary, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

■ The required data can be sent and received between the central processing unit and the central processing unit without dispatching an operator to the terminal device, and ■ Since this data is automatically sent and received, not only does it take less time, but it also requires less time. ■ Its efficiency is also good.
