Abstract

PURPOSE:To change easily part of system information by changing a parameter inputted by the conversation form into the sentence form, analyzing the result to form system information. CONSTITUTION:A system information input system is composed of a processing device including a data input device 1, processing device 2 including a sentence form converting output part 21 and a system information converting output part 22 a floppy disk device 3 and a fixed disk device 4. Thus, the sentence form converting output part 21 is operated, and a parameter request concerning the system information is displayed and executed at a display scope of the data input device 1 in menu sentence form. When the parameter is inputted, this is displayed, and written in the floppy disk device 3. By repeating such a way, a sentence form parameter file is prepared. When this is registered as system information, the output part 22 is operated, read from the floppy disk device 3, written in the fixed disk device 4 and registered in the system.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a system information input method for an electronic computer. Conventionally, there have been two types of input methods for system information related to system generation of an electronic computer: a conversation method and a file method. .

The conversation method is a method in which the requested parameter values are entered in response to a parameter input request for system information on the menu screen and registered in the system as system information.
This is easy, but the drawback is that if you want to change a part of a set of parameters, you have to enter them all from the beginning.

On the other hand, in the file method, parameters regarding system information are stored in a file, and all parameters are input and registered in the system as system information, but an editor or the like is used to create the file. For this reason, it is easy to change some of the parameters using an editor, etc., but when creating a series of parameters, there is a drawback that there is no guide for the input order, etc., which makes it difficult to understand and may cause input errors etc. .

(Object of the Invention) The object of the present invention is to input parameters in a conversational manner, convert them into a sentence format, and create system information as parameter data in a post-sentence format. (Structure of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to provide a system information input method that allows easy partial modification of the system information. Sentence format conversion output means for sequentially displaying input requests fc for the parameter data on an input means and converting the parameter data input from the input means into sentence format data in response to each of the input requests and outputting the same;
an external storage means for externally storing the sentence format data output from the sentence format conversion output means; and an external storage means for reading and converting the sentence format data stored in the external storage means into bit format data and storing the read data in the electronic format as system information. and system information conversion/output means to be registered in the operating system of the computer system.

(Example) Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to all the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. The system information input method shown in FIG. 1 includes a data input device 1, a processing device 2 including a sentence format conversion output section 21 and a system information conversion output section 22, a floppy disk drive R3, and a fixed disk device 4. configured.

Figure 2 is an operational flow diagram of the method shown in Figure 1, and Figure 2 (a)
) is the sentence format parameter file creation flow diagram, Figure 2 (
b) is a system information creation flow diagram.

The operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b).

First, the sentence format conversion output unit 21 operates to display a parameter request for system information in a sentence format on the display screen of the data input device 1 using menus, and requests parameter input. Then, when the required parameters are entered using the keyboard of the data input device 1, they are displayed in the form of sentences on the display screen. The sentence format conversion output section 21 writes this to the floppy disk device 3 which is a reading and output device. The above operations are repeated in an interactive menu format for all required parameters according to the menu, and a parameter file in a sentence format is created in the floppy disk drive 3.

Next, when registering the information in the system as system information, the system information conversion output unit 22 is activated.

That is, all the parameters written in sentence format are extracted from the connected floppy disk device 3, and these parameters are converted into system information, that is, parameters in bit format, and then transferred to the fixed disk device in which the operating system is stored. 4. Register in the writing system.

As described above, in this embodiment, the parameter file is created in the sentence format using the conversational many format, which eliminates errors such as input errors. Since the information is converted into system information and registered in the system, partial modification of parameters can be easily performed in the same way as in the conventional file method.

In this embodiment, the sentence format conversion/output unit 21 and the system information conversion/output unit 22 are explained as dedicated hardware, but the present invention is not limited to this and can also be realized by a program.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention has the advantage that by combining two methods, the conversation method and the file method, it is possible to eliminate input errors and to make partial corrections of system information extremely easy.
