In other words, the present equipment is commonly applicable for a variety of categories of business, since a plurality of service programs can be made most appropriately by taking the user's business requirements into considerations.
Therefore, the program setting mode will be explained hereinafter in particular.
[Program Setting Mode]
(1) Key Arrangement for this Mode
The key arrangement for this mode is shown in FIG. 7. This key arrangement is fixed in the mode. In the arrangement, keys to be operated are ten keys "0" to "9", six alphabetic keys "A" to "F", three function keys "FK1" to "FK3" and a clear key "CE".
(2) Setting operation in the Mode
Setting operation is always done according to a key sequence as shown in FIG. 8.
In FIG. 8, the operation NK1is a key operation for designating a job number JOB# (for instance, of 4 digits), the operation NK2 is a key operation for designating an item number ITEM# (for instance, of 2 digits) and the operation NK3 is a key operation for designating data for setting parameters which are predetermined according to every parameter to be set. Function key FK1 tranfers the key operation from NK1 to NK2 upon the first push down thereof and displays the content of the job being designated by JOB# upon the second push down thereof. Function key FK2 transfers the key operation automatically to a next key operation for designating ITEM# or JOB# upon every push down thereof. Function keys FK3 displays the content of the next job upon the push down thereof. To check the designated jobs, function key FK3 is pushed down successively.
(3) Data Format of Memory for Registering Data
FIG. 9 shows the data format of the memory for registering data being used for data entry during the execution mode.
The initial registration record and service code record are fixed after having been set once according to the system. Each heading, detail and footing record is fixed with respect to each data entry service selected. The initial registration, service code, heading and footing record may not necessarily be set.
Each record except for the service code record is comprised of a plurality of items (fields) as is shown in FIG. 10.
(4) Setting Parameters for Each Heading, Detail and Footing Record
The heading record is provided for memorizing heading data such as a sum of individual quantities. Some uses are to sum individual amounts of money for determining the total amount, to store date and time upon inputting and/or to output data or the like. Parameters for setting the heading record can be designated through JOB# "0101" to "0114" and ITEM# "10" to "14".
Table 2 shows the manner for designating parameters of the heading record.
Detail records are defined for memorizing particular data such as a unit price of an individual article, and/or a quantity thereof. The manner for designating parameters of the detail records is shown in Tables 3-1 and 3-2.
The footing record is provided for finishing or completing detail records in such a manner as to memorize. For instance, the total amount of money summed up all through detail records which is defined at a position next to the final detail record. The manner for designating parameters of the footing record is shown in Table 4.
Next, formats for setting these records will be explained according to Tables 2, 3-1, 3-2 and 4.
[ITEM#10]
(a) Length of Each Item
Each length (number of digits) necessary for every item is designated by one of the integers from "01" to "15". C/D check codes, symbols such as decimal point ".", signs ".+-." etc. and item partition code are included in calculation of the number of digits. The length of each item designated is assigned to the memory for registering data.
(b) Display Area
Each area for displaying input data for monitoring upon input with use of the key board or input from the bar code reader TPR. The number of lines on which the data is displayed, the beginning digit on the line from which the data is displayed and the length of digits are designated respectively.
(c) Item Partition Code
Whether the item partition code is to be memorized is designated upon the memorization of each item in registering data. When the item partition code is to be memorized, the code is designated with one of the numerals or alphabets shown in Table 2. It is to be noted that the codes in the case of 4 BIT is differentiated from those in the case of 8 BIT.
(d) Key Code for Indicating Finish of Input
A key code is designated with two digits to indicate that the input of the final item has been completed. When the designated key code is input, all inputs regarding the item are supposed to be finished.
(e) Calendar Function
The present system provides two calendar functions. One function is being able to write the calendar into the initial registration item and the other function is being able to read the calendar of the item in the heading or detail records. It can be designated whether the calendar function is necessary or not. When the calendar function is designated, one of the three calendar types, "date", "time" and "date and time", is specified.
(f) Input with Use of TPR
It can be designated whether the input with use of TPR is possible. Since the input with use of ten keys is always possible, multiple inputs are possible when the input with use of TPR is designated.
[ITEM#11] Designation of Check Method
(a) Check Method with respect to the Calendar
The content of the calendar is checked by inequalities such as 00.ltoreq.hours.ltoreq.23, 00.ltoreq.minutes.ltoreq.59.
(b) Extent Check
The extent check is provided for checking whether the data input, the amount of the money for instance, is within the extent defined between an upper and lower limit.
One combination can be designated among many, for instance ten combinations with respect to the upper limit and the lower limit which are defined as in the Table 5. If the calendar check is not designated with respect to one item, then multiple extent checks (maximum 5 checks) become possible. Upon multiple extent checks, every check is done with use of "OR" logic and, in every check, only a significant number except for signs and the decimal point is checked.
(c) Check/Digit (C/D) Check
This is a C/D check against input items. As is shown in FIG. 11, a C/D check can be done to the head of an input item when another item is added. FIG. 11 shows a method for assigning weights when five numbers n.sub.1, n.sub.2, n.sub.3, n.sub.4 and n.sub.5 are designated as weights therefor.
The content of a C/D check can be specified in Table 6 where a C/D check table in which a maximum of six kinds of C/D check can be defined. Parameters to be designated are the number of C/D check tables, whether or not other items are added, and the number of other items if other items are to be added.
(d) Comparison Check
In the comparison check, data input are compared with memorized data for an initial setting. As the result of the comparison, data input is processed duly when both data correspond to each other. When no correspondence between both data is obtained, an error message is displayed.
(e) Sum Check
This check is an equal check for checking whether the total value obtained through items in the heading or the detail records is equal to the value obtained by a totalizer provided in this system. FIG. 12 shows an example of the sum check. In this example, the total number of clients obtained in the system totalizer by adding each number of clients being input into items of ITEM#1 to 3 respectively is compared with the total number of clients input into the item of ITEM#5. The sum check is available to both the heading and detail records. One of the numbers of the system totalizer from "01" to "04" is designated for the sum check. The total value (sum value) is cleared when the sum check has been finished. The system totalizer will be more fully disclosed in section (c) entitled "Use of System Totalizer".
(f) Master Data Search Check
This check can be done with respect to input items of the heading and detail records. In the case that the check is designated about an input item, the following processions are executed. FIG. 13 shows a composition of the master file.
(f-1) There are two types of designations for the search check of the master data. One is a designation of key input data, as is shown in Table 7, and the other is a designation of the format of the memory for registration of the master, as is shown in Table 8.
(f-2) When the key is designated, the group of the detail records are searched with the key from the top thereof.
(f-2-1) If there is no key in the master registration memory, then it is possible to designate either one of "Error" or "Neglect".
When "Error" is designated, the buzzer is driven in a mode of high tone for a long period. The buzzer is stopped by the operation of the clear key CE. Then, data with respect to the corresponding item are input again.
When "Neglect" is designated, data with respect to the next item are input after the completion of the input of the corresponding data.
(f-2-2) If a key is in the master registration memory, then a maximum of ten items of the master data are displayed on the liquid crystal display 11. The content of each item displayed is referred to upon input of data with respect to items of detail records.
Designation of the Display Area for Each Item of the Master Data (This should be done at every data entry.)
A line number, a top digit number and a number of digits for the display of each item are designated. If the line number is designated to "0", then the corresponding item is not displayed. The position, length and editorial type for the display with respect to each item of the master data are designated according to Table 9 and Table 10.
In Table 10, parameters about editorial types for the display are not assigned as follows:
"0"--No edition, namely, data on the memory are displayed as they are.
"1"--Only significant number is displayed. Zero or zeros being positioned before the first significant number are suppressed.
"2"--Significant number is displayed down to one decimal place. Top zero or zeros are suppressed.
"3"--Significant number is displayed down to two decimal place. Top zero or zeros are suppressed.
Contents being displayed are cleared after final items of the heading or detail records have been input.
Master Data Search Check will be disclosed particularly in the section entitled "Master File Functions".
(g) Confirmation Check for Completion of Registration of Data
This check is possible only about input items of the detail record. In the case that the check is designated on the input item, the following processions are done.
First, the input data (of a positive integer) is edited in the same manner as that of the memory format. The detail records of the data registration memory are searched from the top thereof, with the key obtained as the result of the edition mentioned above.
(g-1) When data have been input already, contents of detail records searched are displayed and the buzzer is driven with a high tone.
Editorial method for the display is as follows:
The item having a fixed digit construction is displayed as is the data in the memory.
The item having a variable digit construction is displayed while suppressing top zero or zeros (If it has a decimal fraction, the decimal point "." is displayed together).
Then, the following processions will be done.
When the delete key is operated, the buzzer is turned off and the display is cleared. All of the area covering the detail records that have been searched are filled with a predetermined special code, this code may be the same as the memory clear code used upon deleting in the memory search. Again, data are input with respect to the items having been deleted.
When the key indicating no deletion is operated, the buzzer is turned off and the contents of the display are cleared and, then, data regarding the item is input.
It is possible to designate the key for deleting detail records of the data registration memory or the key for not deleting those.
(g-2) When data is not input yet, data of the next item are input after processing the input data.
[ITEM#12] Memory Editorial Method
Memory editorial methods on the heading record, the detail record and the footing record are different from each other in designating method on the parameters. Hereinafter, the memory editorial method for the detail record will be explained particularly.
(a) Memory Editorial Method
(1) "00-02" Position of Decimal Point and Number of Places
First, the position of a decimal point on the memory is designated by one of the integers "00", "01" and "02" (When "00" is designated, no decimal point is assigned in the memory).
Data input is edited referring to the position of the decimal point designated as a standard therefor. In this case, the overflow portion of the memory area is cut off and the blank portion of the area is filled with zeros. When "00" is designated, data are edited referring to the most right-hand position of the area as a standard. It depends on the designation of the system parameter whether the position of the decimal point is memorized or not.
(2) "10" Deletion of the Last Digit
When "10" is designated, the last one digit (C/D value) of the input data is deleted and the input data deleted is memorized in the state of "Flush Right". The overflow portion is cut off and the blank portion is filled with zeros.
(3) "2n" Addition of C/D
When "2n" is designated, a C/D value is added to the last digit of the input data and, then, the input data is memorized in the state of "Flush Right". The parameter "n" (n=1-6) designates one of item numbers in C/D Table. Also, the overflow portion is cut off and the blank portion is filled with zeros.
(b) "30" Addition of Another Item (Data Synthesis)
When "30" is designated, the input data is coupled or synthesized with the input data of the other item of the heading record and/or the detail record.
In this case, code "30" is first designated and the item number of the item to be synthesized (or coupled) is designated.
(c) Use of System Totalizer
In the present system, four totalizers (14 digits of the integer portion and two digits of the decimal fraction) are provided and can be used for the following objects.
to save input data,
to sum up input data,
to read data of the system totalizer,
to compare, for equal check, input data with the data obtained in the system totalizer,
to compare, for equal check, two values with each other that are obtained in respective system totalizers.
These method can be designated in combination with at least one input item of the heading, the detail and the footing records as is shown in Table 11.
[Applicability]
(1) Application in the Heading or Detail Record
In the case that the individual value is input into individual item #1 to n and the sum of these individual values is input into the item therefor, as is shown in FIG. 16(a), an equal check between the sum being input and the sum obtained in the system totalizer is done. In this case, it is impossible to input the sum data into the corresponding item from the system totalizer without operating ten keys.
(2) Application in the Detail and Footing Records
In the case that the individual value is input into an individual item of the detail record and the sum of these individual values is input into one item of the footing record, as is shown in FIG. 16(b), the sum having been input is compared with the sum data obtained in the system totalizer during input of the individual value. In this case, the sum obtained in the system totalizer can be input into one item of the footing record without entry by ten keys.
(3) Application among the Heading, Detail and Footing Records
Referring to FIG. 16(c), the sum data of the individual value to be input into an individual item of the detail record is input first into the item #n of the heading record and the sum data is saved into a system totalizer upon the input thereof. Thereafter, individual data is input into individual item (#1 to #n) of the detail record. These individual data are added in other system totalizer. In this case, the sum data having been saved is compared with the sum obtained in the other system totalizer in order to equally check.
[ITEM#13] Designation of Fashion for Inputting Data with Keys
With respect to the detail record, four fashions for inputting data with keys can be set. One fashion is set for the heading record or the footing record.
(a) Designations of Total Number of Digits
The total number of digits is that of a significant number of the data and therefore, does not include the decimal point "." and ".+-." signs and the like.
(b) Number of Digits of Decimal Fraction
Maximum 2 can be designated. If data has not any decimal fraction, "00" is designated.
(c) Input Mode
"0"--The number of digits is fixed and only a positive integer can be input. Sign "-" and decimal point "." are impossible to input.
"1"--A positive integer with an arbitrary number of digits can be input but sign "-" and decimal point "." cannot be input.
"2"--A positive or negative integer with an arbitrary number of digits can be input but decimal point "." cannot be input.
"3"--A positive real number with an arbitrary number of digits can be input but sign "-" cannot be input.
"4"--A positive or negative real number with an arbitrary number of digits can be input.
(d) Omission of Deposition by Ten Keys
It is designated whether or not the deposition by ten keys can be omitted. In the case that the omission is designated, it is designated whether the omission is regarded as "0" or "1". When it is designated, the entry with use of only the end key becomes possible.
(e) Edition for Input Data
(e-1) "00"--Flush Right of Input Data
Input Data are flushed to the right and all of blank digits are filled with zeros.
(e-2) Flush Left of Input Data
Input data are flushed to the left, all of the blank digits are filled with one of the filler codes (HEX"0"-"9").
(e-3) Beginning Digit for Replacement of Data upon Synthesizing Data
FIG. 14 shows an example of data synthesis with respect to the item #2. As shown in FIG. 14, in the case that a classification code is to be input into the upper three digits of the item #2 and an article code is to be input into the lower five digits thereof. The article code input into lower five digits at this time is synthesized with the classification code having been input into the three heading digits of the preceding record. In this case, the top digit P of the data to be replaced with a new data is designated according to the key input fashion as is disclosed in ITEM#11.
The synthesized data (classification code+article code) is input into the item #2 of the present pending record.
The data synthesis method as mentioned above is able to simplify entry operation in such a case that all data have a portion common to each other.
FIG. 15 shows a flow chart for data synthesizing upon data entry in the execution mode.
When data entry is begun by operations of ten keys or with TPR, input data is displayed on the display 11 and at the step 101, it is decided whether the data synthesizing is designated or not. In the case of "NO", other editions are processed as designated in the step 102. In the case of "YES", the data synthesizing is done at step 103 as stated above.
The data synthesized is displayed so as to confirm it at step 104. At step 105, a variety of checks are made as stated hereinafter. When all of checks are cleared, a memory edition is executed and data are saved in the Write Buffer. These processes are repeated until the data entry of the last item have been completed (step 107). The data thus input and or synthesized are memorized in DRAM at step 108 and, then, data entry for the next record is started.
If the designation of (e-2) or (e-3) is designated, then the edited data are displayed again on the monitoring area after completing data entry with use of keys.
Checks above mentioned are executed against data having been edited already.
[ITEM#14, 15] Designation of Entry Fashion by TPR
If data input is finished with one scanning of TPR, then the entry fashion is designated in ITEM#14. If data input is finished after a plurality of scannings of TPR, then the entry fashion is designated in ITEM#15.
The designation of the entry fashion made essentially by designating JOB# in Table 12 for TPR input. Referring to Table 12, a number of digits of data to be read, a position from which the effective data are started, a length of the effective data, existence of partition code and partition code itself, the type of bar code (NW-7, JAN(8, 13 digits), 2 out of 5 and INTERLEAVED 2 out of 5, the table number of a C/D (Check/Digit), and the digit number of the decimal portion of a positive (+), negative (-) and real (.+-.) data are designated respectively.
In the case of a plurality of scannings, conditions for the completion of inputs are designated.
The conditions are as follows;
When data having a digit number and a partition code different from those designated are input, or when data is input from the key board.
When data other than "0-9" and the decimal point "." is input from TPR. (When sign "-" is input, the corresponding data is regarded as negative data and others are regarded as positive data.)
[C/D Calculation with respect to Data including One or More Symbols such as a Decimal Point]
In order to prevent errors upon reading bar codes, data having been read are checked by a C/D check method. In the case that data is input by ten keys, a C/D check is done in order to prevent similar deposition mistakes. However, the C/D check is available only for integers. Accordingly, it is impossible to do a C/D check on data including symbols such as a decimal point, ".+-." signs, etc.
In the system according to the present invention, there is assigned a special number to each symbol in order to make a C/D check possible. Namely, the symbol included in the data is replaced by the special number designated upon calculation of a C/D.
The manner for designating these numbers is shown in item #3 of Table 12. In item #3, three integers of two digits (00-99) are assigned to "-" sign, "+" sign and the decimal point respectively.
FIG. 17 shows a flow chart for a C/D check. When a real number, for example "-1234.67" is input from TPR at step 102, it is decided whether a C/D check should be done at step 103. When a C/D check should be done, "-" sign and "." decimal point in the input data are replaced respectively to decimal values designated, for example "11" and "31", at step 104. Then, a C/D value is calculated with respect to the number obtained as the result of the replacement, for example "1112343167", at step 105. At step 106, the result thus obtained is compared with the C/D value. If the former is not equal to the latter, then "Error" is indicated on the display. This idea is applicable to data including the symbols " ", "$" and the like, indicating the currency of individual country.
The terminal equipment according to the present invention is able to provide a variety of functions selectively in addition to those functions as disclosed in the foregoing.
Hereinafter, main functions will be explained separately.
[Error Check of Data having been Set]
As is clear from the foregoing, the present system is characterized in that a plurality of service programs can be made through the designation of system parameters and can be executed according to designated system parameters. Therefore, system parameters are required to meet a very high reliability substantially equal to that of programs.
Conventionally, system parameters have not been checked, although check about programs have been done with the use of a checking method such as "Sum Check".
In the system according to the present invention, check about system parameters can be possible as well as the check about programs S64 in order to avoid malfunctions. As is shown in FIG. 6, the check about parameters are executed after the program routine S66 has been completed and the power switch has been turned off.
Namely, when the power switch was turned off after setting of system parameters had been completed S68, Power-OFF Routine POR is executed for checking parameters which were set during program setting mode. In the routine POR, check codes such as Check Sum Code are calculated about the memory area where set parameters are memorized and obtained check codes are at a predetermined memory area.
Thereafter, when the power switch is turned on in order to execute a service program mode through designations of parameters or when a function key is pushed down S12 to start an application program, it is first judged whether the programs are loaded and, then, Sum Check is done as indicated in the step SUM PD of FIG. 5. In this Sum Check routine, both programs and parameters are checked S32 respectively. Accordingly an indication of Check Sum Errors is displayed S33 and the execution of the program is stopped S34, if there is at least one undesirable change caused by an unknown origin in the parameter memory area.
In the case that the execution of the program is stopped, each parameter is checked in the Parameter Setting Mode, for instance by comparing each parameter being displayed with that in the data setting table.
Thus, according to this function, an undesirable change in system parameters can be found before the run of the program and, therefore, correct service program can be always executed.
[Master Filing Function]
The master filing function according to the present system is comprised of a series of functions as follows:
(A) A function which allows having several master files including reference data for referring upon the data entry into the data terminal,
(B) A function which allows searching of one or more master files with the key data entered and displaying data related thereto,
(C) Allowing the possibility to freely lay out the master file,
(D) A function which allows selecting data needed for every service and displaying data at an arbitrary position,
(E) A function which allows reading of the master file being displayed as data,
(F) A function which allows loading of the master file from the host machine and updating of the master file manually,
(G) A function which allows clearing of the master data being displayed for reference whenever data entry of one record is finished.
According to these functions, a variety of merits are obtained as follows;
(1) Entry operation is easily made, since it becomes possible to refer to the corresponding data during the data entry,
(2) Entry mistakes can be avoided,
(3) It becomes unnecessary to search data separately,
(4) It becomes possible to control a variety of data with master files,
(5) It becomes possible to search and/or correct master files, and
(6) The master file can be displayed with a suitable format.
(a) Composition of the Master File
The master file is defined as an assembly of records having a the same predetermined length, as is shown in FIG. 18, which have numerical data indicating the beginning digit of the first record thereof as the top data.
Each record thereof contains, as shown in FIG. 19, a top data indicating the beginning digit of a key data MKey and the key data MKey through which the master file is searched. The master file is set according to the Tables 13 and 14.
Each record is comprised of ten items from the first to tenth item. The length and beginning digit of the record are designated according to tables mentioned above.
Formats for displaying master data as references are set by designating a display line 1i, beginning digit di and digit length mi of each item i at the item #21 in JOB#4301 of Table 13. Further, an editorial method for display is designated according to Table 15. FIG. 20 shows an example of the display.
(b) Making the Master File
The master file of the terminal equipment is made by reading the corresponding master file of the host machine serially or parallelly.
FIG. 21 has a flow chart showing a manner for data entry using master files. In the flow shown in FIG. 21, when the job A for receiving the master file is chosen, the present terminal equipment is connected to the host machine with the serial or parallel receiving cable. When the key therefor is operated, the master file of the host machine is read out and is memorized in the memory area of the terminal equipment reserved therefor to construct the master file therein.
The master file can be made with respect to each service such as an ordering service, stock management or the like.
When the job B for correcting master file is chosen in FIG. 21, the master file having been made can be corrected manually by monitoring data thereof.
(c) Master Data Search Check
When the job C for data entry is chosen and the kind of service (ordering, stock management, etc.) is designated for the data entry to be done, the master data search check is executed as follows. This check, however, can be done only when the master data search check code is designated to "6000" at item #11 for designating the check method of the Table 3-1.
The check can be done in two modes C-I and C-II as shown in FIG. 21.
(1) C-I Mode
In this mode, the key data MKey through which the master data is searched is designated at the step 401.
Parameters for the key data in the record are set according to Table 16.
The mode switch is operated in set mode and the check is executed according to the flow chart shown in FIG. 22.
When data of one record were input at step 501, one of function keys FK is operated. At step 502, it is decided if the search check for the master data should be done or not. If the check is to be done, then it is made by searching about each record whether or not the key data MKey of the record of the master file corresponds to the key data R key which was entered.
When MKey of the record corresponds to the RKey, the record having the MKey is displayed according to the display format mentioned above. Referring to the contents displayed, data for other items are entered. When the entry operation for one record is finished, data for the next record are entered and the search check is done therefor.
If there is no record having the key data MKey which corresponds to the key data RKey, then "error" is displayed or the record is neglected according to the designated parameters.
(2) C-II Mode
In this mode, the first record of the master file is displayed at step 406 in FIG. 21. When the displayed data is not data intended, the feed-forward function key is pushed and the second record is displayed. Thus, records of the master file are monitored successively. When the data intended is displayed, a predetermined function key FK is pushed at step 407. The key data MKey of the corresponding record of the master file is read at step 408 and is memorized as the corresponding item of the entry data. Consequently, data for other items are entered referring to the data displayed at step 409. Alternately, data of other items of the ecord in the master file can be memorized, similar to the case of the key data. When the data entry for one record is finished, data entry is continued for the next record.
[Memorizing Decimal Point]
Data being treated in the terminal equipment can be integers and/or real numbers. In the case that the data is a real number, it may be data having a decimal point of a variable digit or of a fixed digit. Upon memorizing data of many types, data of an integer or of a real number of a fixed digit, it is not necessary to memorize the decimal point itself although it should be memorized with respect to the data of a real number of a variable decimal point. Contrary to the above, it may be advantageous for processing data to another data terminal to memorize data about the decimal point even in the case of an integer or a real number of a fixed decimal point. Thus, the necessity of memorizing decimal data depends on conditions under which data are processed. Accordingly, it is desirable to be able to choose if data about the decimal point is to be memorized or not according to properties or conditions of data to be processed. Further, the volume of memory can be reduced when compared with the case in that every data about the decimal point is memorized without any exception.
FIG. 23 shows a flow chart therefor. As shown in FIG. 23, when the data entry job is selected at step 101, an application program corresponding to the data entry job is called at step 102, and data are entered with use of ten keys (at step 103) or through TPR (at step 104).
At step 105, it is decided if data should be memorized dependent upon the position of a decimal point. In the case of "NO", input data are edited according to the editorial method designated ("Flush Right" or "Flush Left" etc.) and are memorized.
In the case of "YES", it is decided if the data about the decimal point should be memorized or not at step 107. In the case of "YES", the data are memorized with the decimal point respectively at step 108. In the case of "NO", data are memorized without the decimal point even when it is included therein (step 109).
After the data are memorized at one of steps 106, 108 or 109, it is decided if data entry is finished at step 110. If it is not finished, then data are entered further at step 103 or 104. When the data entry operation is completed, they are transferred to other operations.
According to the data entry program mentioned just above, when a real number for instance "123.45" is entered, it is memorized as "00123.45" at step 108 and, at step 109, it is memorized as "0012345".
Decisions on whether or not the decimal point should be the standard point upon memorizing data and on whether or not the decimal point should be memorized together with other data are determined by parameters designated in the program setting mode.
[Omission of Deposit by Ten Keys]
As is mentioned in connection with the setting manner of the detail records etc., an essential object of the function is as follows.
Usually, data entry operations are made with use of ten keys and function keys in the data terminal equipment.
According to the custom of the ordering service, for instance, the quantity of an article to be ordered is specified with a unit such as one dozen, one carton or the like which is usually determined depending on the property of the article and the store in which the article is dealt with. Also, there are many zeros in data with respect to the quantity in the stock management. In the case mentioned above, entry operations such as ten key "1".fwdarw.function key.fwdarw.ten key "0".fwdarw.function key are usually repeated. In such a case as mentioned above, entry operations will be much simplified if a number of "0" or "1" is automatically input only by pushing a function key without use of a ten key.
FIG. 24 shows a flow chart therefor. As is shown in FIG. 24, when one of the data entry jobs is chosen, data are entered with use of ten keys or through TPR and, then, a function key is usually operated. Instead of the usual data entry, a specified function key can be operated first without the operations of one or more ten keys.
If such an entry is designated to be invalid by parameters having been set in the parameter setting mode, then it is regarded as an error at step 101.
If such an entry is designated to be valid, then it is decided whether the entry is to be treated as the deposit of "1" or not a step 102. If decided "YES", then "1" is memorized at step 103. In the case of "NO", then "0" is memorized at step 104.
Such an omission of deposit is designated about every item of entry data. Therefore, it becomes possible to use the same function key as a key for omission of deposit among a variety of common data entry jobs. Accordingly, it becomes unnecessary to increase the number of function keys, key operations can be simplified, the entry speed can be made fast and possible entry mistakes can be avoided.
[Automatic Data Entry upon Skipping Entry]
Upon inputting record data such as a set of a maker code, an article code, a quantity of article, an amount of money and so on, for instance in the ordering service, there are some common data such as a maker code, an article code or the like among records. In the case that there are some common data among records, it is bothersome to enter these data at the entry operations of each record. Therefore, in the present system, it becomes possible to designate with respect to every item whether the data entry can be skipped according to designated parameters.
If it is designated with respect to one item that the data entry can be skipped, then the data of the corresponding item of the preceding record is automatically memorized as that of the present record when the skip of the data entry is made.
The setting conditions about the skip is possible by designating parameters at the item #01 in Table 3-1.
FIG. 25 shows a flow chart for skipping data entry.
As shown in FIG. 25, when each item is input by ten keys or through TPR, it is decided at step 101, if the entry fashion corresponds to that designated about the item (See items #13 and #14 in Table 2). In the case of "NO", it is decided if the skip of data entry is possible at step 102. In the case of "YES", it is decided if the entry fashion corresponds to that of the next item at step 103. Namely, at this step 103, it is decided if the data entry with respect to the item next to the item to be skipped was done. In the csase of "NO", it is required to re-enter the data. In the case of "YES", the data of the corresponding item of the preceding record is read out and is set once in the buffer memory after executing the edition of the data, every check thereof and the edition of the memory at step 104. At the next step 105, the data of the skipped item having been edited is set in the buffer memory as the input data. Alternatively, if the entry is fashioned corresponding to that designated at step 101, then it is proceeded directly to step 105.
When the entry about all items of one record is completed (step 106), the entry data in the buffer memory is set in the data memory as one record at step 107 and, then, the data entry for the next record is done.
According to the function just mentioned above, the entry of the common data can be skipped to execute the next data entry. Therefore, the data entry operation is simplified, can be done fast and possible entry errors can be avoided.
[Automatic Assignment of Service Identification Code]
According to this function, when one of the data entry jobs for the stock management, the ordering service or the stock taking service etc. is chosen, the service identification code representing the kind thereof is automatically written on the data memory. The code is written at the timing that a job key for data entry is pushed down. The code is provided for identifying the kind of data in the case that the host machine accesses data entered at the side of the data terminal equipment and process data is accessed.
The digit length and content of the service identification code are set in the setting mode.
It is selectable whether the service identification code should be written on the data memory upon the data entry or not. In the case that it is to be written, the digit number (length) can be designated arbitrarily. The content thereof can be also designated arbitrarily within the digit number designated for every data entry job (See Tables 19 and 20).
According to the function mentioned above, a variety of entry data can be memorized in the data memory.
(1) Setting the Service Identification Code
(1-1) Digit Number of the Code
If the function is not necessary, then "0" is designated as the system parameter therefor. If necessary, one digit of "1" to "8" is designated.
(1-2) Setting the Code
The service identification code is set by designating a code suitable for briefly representing the content of the service within the digit number designated.
(2) Processing Method (Execution Mode)
FIG. 26 shows a flow chart for processing the service identification code.
As shown in FIG. 26, when one of data entry jobs is chosen at step 101, it is decided whether the service identification code is designated or not at step 102. In the case that it is designated, it is set in the data memory at step 103. Therefore, the service identification code is automatically assigned to the head of each data being entered in this data entry job.
Then, at step 104, data relating to the data entry job are entered sequentially and data having been entered are set by one record unit in the data memory. The data entry is continued until the completion of the data entry is confirmed at step 105.
Contrary to the above, if the service identification code is not designated, then the step 103 is skipped and the data entry at step 104 is executed.
When the data entry job is completed, the next job, for instance the output of data to the host machine is started.
The data output job is chosen at step 106, the entry data memorized in the data memory are output to the host machine at step 107. Since the service identification code is output at first as a heading data upon the data output if it is designated, then the kind of service with respect to data being input can be easily identified at the side of the host machine and, therefore, the sort or arrangement of data can be done advantageously.
When the data output is completed, the memory clear job is designated at step 108 and the data in the data memory are cleared at step 109.
After these jobs are completed, the power is turned off at step 110.
[Scroll Up of Data Displayed]
There are a variety of data entry jobs for ordering, stock management, etc. The number of items, the type of data, the entry fashion and the display format are different from each other among those jobs. Accordingly, there may be cases in which it is impossible to scroll up the data being displayed depending on the display format designated. Or, there may be cases in which it is better to clear the entry data when the entry is completed in order to avoid unclearness on the display.
Further, the extent and/or the line to be scrolled up should be varied according to the display format.
The scroll up function according to the present system is improved so as to be available for an arbitrary display format by changing parameters related thereto.
FIG. 27 shows an example of the display of the entry data for the ordering service in which the scroll up function is not designated FIG. 28 shows an example of the display of the entry data for the stock management in which each data entered is scrolled up in turn.
In the example shown in FIG. 27, a set of guide texts such as "ORDERING SERVICE", "ARTICLE CODE", "A DAY OF THE WEEK", "CLASSIFICATION", "UNIT PRICE" and "QUANTITY" are displayed in a fixed manner. Data are entered in the order of the article code D.sub.1, a day of the week D.sub.2, the classification D.sub.3, the unit price D.sub.4 and the quantity D.sub.5. When the entry of these data D.sub.1 to D.sub.5 is once completed, all these data D.sub.1 to D.sub.5 are cleared from the display.
In the example shown in FIG. 28, a set of guide texts such as "STOCK MANAGEMENT", "ARTICLE CODE", "UNIT PRICE", and "QUANTITY" are displayed in a fixed manner, and however, the fourth to eighth lines are reserved for displaying the entry data.
Data are entered in the order of the article code Dn, unit price Dm and quantity Dl. The set of these data Dn, Dm and Dl is displayed on the lowermost line (the eighth line). The set of data D.sub.n-1, D.sub.m-1 and D.sub.l-1 entered prior to the set of Dn, Dm and Dl is scrolled up from the eighth line to the seventh line. And also each proceding set of data ((D.sub.n-2, D.sub.m-2, D.sub.l-2), . . ., (D.sub.n-4 m D.sub.m-4, D.sub.l-4)) is scrolled up by one line on the display.
This scroll up function is designated in the program setting mode and is effected in the execution mode.
FIG. 29 shows a flow chart for program setting and FIG. 30 shows a flow chart for effecting the scroll up function.
At first, the designation thereabout will be explained according to FIG. 29.
As shown in FIG. 29, when the power is turned on, it is decided if the mode is the execution mode or not at step 101. In the case of the setting mode, one job number "4301" is designated among jobs (JOB#4301 to 4307) for designating a fashion of the scroll up to step 102.
As is clear from Table 13, since the item #09 is related to the scroll up function, the function key FK1 is operated at step 103 and, then, "09" is deposited with use of ten keys at step 104.
When the function key FK1 is pushed again at step 105, the contents of the preceding setting are displayed at step 106. Then, numerals "n.sub.1, n.sub.2, n.sub.3 " are deposited with use of ten keys wherein n.sub.1 is the parameter for designating the number of lines by which the data is scrolled up, n.sub.2 is the parameter for designating the line number which defines the upper limit of the area being able to scroll up and n.sub.3 is the parameter for designating the line number which defines the lower limit of the area. In the example shown in FIG. 28, the parameters n.sub.1, n.sub.2 and n.sub.3 are set equal to "1", "4" and "8" respectively.
In the case that the scroll up function is not needed, all of these parameters n.sub.1, n.sub.2 and n.sub.3 are set equal to "0".
Then, the function key FK2 is pushed at step 108. At steps 109 to 111, each parameter n.sub.1, n.sub.2 and n.sub.3 is checked whether it is within the allowable extent for scroll up or not (In the example shown, the maximum of each parameter is set equal to 8).
The parameter setting as mentioned above can be done about each of seven jobs from JOB#4301 to JOB#4307. In other words, the fashion or format of the scroll up is able to set with respect to each of seven data entry jobs.
Next, the scroll up function in the execution mode will be explained according to FIG. 30.
When one of the data entry jobs is designated together with the job number thereof at step 201, data entry is done with use of ten keys at step 202 or through TPR at step 203. In the case that ten keys are used therefor, the end key is pushed down after the completion of the data entry at step 204. The data entry is continued until the completion of the data entry of all the items designated at item #06 in Table 13 is confirmed at step 205. When the data entry about one set of the items is finished, the entry data are set in the memory at step 206. Then, at step 207, parameters set at item #09 of the corresponding job number are read out and it is decided if the scroll up function is designated. In the case that it is designated, the data displayed are scrolled up in the fashion specified by parameters n.sub.1, n.sub.2 and n.sub.3 at step 207. This process is repeated until the completion of all data entry is confirmed at step 208.
With respect to guide texts to be displayed in a fixed manner, they are designated respectively at items #1 to #3 in Table 13.
[Automatic Transmission]
In the conventional data terminal equipment, the key for transmission is provided. The transmission of data from the data terminal equipment to the host machine is started by the operation of the transmission key.
However, the provision of the transmission key is impossible in the data terminal wherein the number of keys are restricted or there is a possibility of error operations in the data terminal where the transmission key is provided. Further, steps to be taken upon the data transmission such that one connect the cable to the data terminal first and, thereafter, the transmission key should be pushed down, are complicated for an unexperienced person.
According to the present system, there is provided [Automatic Transmission] function which makes the transmission start automatically when the cable is connected to the data terminal. This function is selectable depending on whether the transmission key is provided or not. Although the function may not be necessary in the case that the transmission key is provided, it becomes necessary in the case that the transmission key is not provided.
In other words, either one of the following two fashions (a) and (b) for starting the transmission is available to choose according to the type of the data terminal;
(a) the data transmission is automatically started when the cable for transmission is connected to the data terminal in order to transmit data having been entered into the data terminal to the host machine or another data terminal;
(b) the data transmission is started only when the transmission key is operated in the case that the transmission key is provided.
With respect to the job for transmission, parameters are set in the program setting mode as follows.
(a) Setting Parameters
(a-1) Designation of the Function
The automatic transmission is designated by the numeral code "00" and the manual transmission is designated by one key code of "01" to "20".
(a-2) Format of Data Output
The format of data output can be designated only by one of the formats defined in Table 17.
(a-3) Judgment about Normal Ending
In the case that "GP4BTS" is designated in the Table 17, the transmission of data is automatically regarded as completed when all the data memorized have been output.
In the case that one of the data output formats other than "GP4BTS" is designated, the completion of the data transmission is decided only when the ending data being defined in Table 18 is received.
(b) Execution Mode
FIG. 31 shows a flow chart for the data transmission in the execution mode. As is shown in FIG. 31, when one of data entry jobs have been completed at step 101, it is decided at step 102 whether the transmission key is provided or not. In the case that it is provided, it is decided if the key operated is the transmission key or not at step 103.
When the transmission key is operated correctly, it is decided, at step 104, if the connection cable is connected correctly between the data terminal and the host machine.
In the case that the transmission key is not designated, namely the automatic transmission is designated, they proceed directly from step 102 to step 104 and are judged if the connecting cable is connected correctly or not.
When the correct connection of the cable is confirmed at step 104, the data transmission to the host machine is started.
According to the function mentioned above, it is possible to select either the automatic transmission or the manual transmission with use of the transmission key. In the case of the automatic transmission, the transmission key becomes unnecessary and, therefore, operations for data transmission can be simplified.
