Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a slip information selection method, and more particularly to a method for correctly calling up information that instructs a checking means for checking the correctness of input data when entering slip data by operating a keyboard. .

When inputting slip data from a keyboard, the input data is visually displayed to avoid errors, and each piece of input data is further checked using a designated checking function.

This check function (hereinafter referred to as check program)
Conventionally, it was common to create individual checks for each type of slip, but the present inventor uses parameters to indicate each check method for each character in each line of a slip, and creates a row format using an array of such parameters. This method creates multiple types of check program specification information according to the document format, indicates the multiple types with line parameters, and creates multiple types of check program specification information according to the document format using the array of the line parameters. Users can easily combine checking methods that are compatible with formats.

If there are multiple types of slip formats, the operator will select the designation information corresponding to the slip format when inputting data.

If the keyboard is equipped with a dedicated key with the identification information of the designated information and, for convenience of use, the document name, for example,
When inputting data for "order" or "sales" slips, the operator only has to press the "order" slip key or the "sales" slip key and press the "select" key, and the operator can now input the order or sales slip without worry. Although it is possible to select a method of checking the document format, this method requires an "order" key and a "sales" key to be provided on the keyboard, and the keyboard becomes larger as the number of types of slips increases.

To avoid this, code "order" and "sales" and assign numbers or kana characters that are already on the keyboard as the code. For example, "order" is "1" and "sales" is "1".
If you select ``2'', the format check program for the ``order'' and ``sales'' slips will be selected. ” All you need is one key.

However, in this case, the user may be confused as to whether "Select""1" indicates an order or a sale, and in some cases, the user may create an illusion and press "Select""2" for ordering.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and aims to make it possible to eliminate errors in selection of check functions, reduce the number of types of keys, and make the keyboard smaller and cheaper. It is something.

The slip selection method of the present invention includes a data input means for inputting data for a slip, a control section that provides multiple functions for checking the input data, and specification information for specifying a checking function according to the slip, which is stored for each slip. Equipped with memory to
A data input device that checks the input data according to the designated information each time the input data is input to each of the slips is provided with means for designating the slip type and a display, and at the storage location of the designated information of the slip in the memory. The present invention is characterized in that the identification information of the slip is stored, and when the slip type is designated, the identification information is displayed on the display.This will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a slip handled by the present invention.

As the title suggests, this slip is an order slip, and the number of items listed on this slip is ordered.

Orders are placed by operating a terminal device (not shown) that is equipped with a keyboard, a display, and a printer and is connected to a telephone line.

The slip 2 consists of a header part 4, a body part 6, and a tail part 8. The header part contains the slip name "regular purchase order" and the order date, etc., and the body part contains the product number code, quantity, etc. .

To order products according to this slip, you must first select a check program that supports the slip format.
To do this, do the following:

That is, press the "select" key on the keyboard, and then press the number "1" key.

When you press the "Select" key, the characters "Sentaku" appear on the display. Next, when you press the number "1" key, the characters "Hizuke" appear on the display, and on the printer, "Hatsuchu*Sentaku 1" appears. is printed.

This means that each check program for the type 1 slip, that is, the slip format shown in FIG. 1, has been selected.

In this way, the operator can be sure to know that all check programs on the order slip have been selected by looking at the characters [Hatsuchu * Select] printed on the roll paper by the printer, and the number key "1" is One numeric keypad is sufficient, so there is no need for a special one.

By using the numeric key ``2'' instead of the numeric key ``1'' and keying in ``select''``2'', you can select the instruction information for the check program for the format of the next type of slip, such as a sales slip. And the printer is *Uriage*
You can confirm this by printing "SELECT 2".

Similarly, by setting "select""3" and "select""4", it is possible to select and confirm the instruction information of the check program for the third and fourth types of slip formats.

Other data in the slip shown in FIG. 1 is entered as follows.

That is, the guidance "Hizuke" will appear on the display, so follow this and key in 541017 and the date.

At this time, the display shows 541017...JJJ.
001 appears.

Next, when you press the "Space" key, "Tempo Code" appears on the display, and when you press the "Fl" function key, in which you have previously registered the store code, the store code written on the slip will appear on the display. 541017 0 with date
Appears as 1295JJO01.

Next, when you press "Space", "Show Zaikubun" appears on the display, and when you press "0", which means "normal", the display becomes 541017 01295 0J 001.

Next, press "Space" and the display will display "Akakurokubun"
Then, if you press rOJ, which means "black", the display will become 541017 01295 00 001, 1
There will be one row.

Here, part of the header of the slip is treated as one line.

Next, press "Space" and "Memory input", the display will change to "Himban code", and the printer will be 541017 o
129s o.

are printed, and these data are written to the transmission memory.

Next, enter the product number code ``13903J'' and the display will show 1.
3903...''002, and then press the next ``Space'', the display will change to ``Slurry'', and then ``2'' will be displayed.
0'', the display will show 13903 20 002.

This completes the line in the body section, so next press ``Space'' and ``
When you press ``Memory Input'', the display changes to ``Himban Code'', the printer prints 13903 20 002, and these data are written to the transmission memory.

Next, enter the next product number code, press "Space" and "Memory input", and the same process is repeated.

When inputting data, each character in each line is checked to ensure that there are no errors, and there are many types of checks, 14 in this example.

Some of the various check functions along with their instruction information (hereinafter referred to as parameters) are as follows.

1... Free field 5... Modulus 112... Number check 6...
Required input fields and free fields indicate areas in which characters may be entered and input characters are not checked.

Also, the numeric check means that the input characters are from O to 9. This refers to checking whether it is -9 or not.

Modulus 11 indicates that the modulus 11 is checked for input numbers 0 to 9.

Furthermore, the term "required field" refers to checking whether at least one character has been input in the field (as expected).

Specification information for the check format check program (hereinafter referred to as format) is created as follows using the above-mentioned check function parameters.

That is, for each digit of each row, select the relevant check function from among the 14 types of check functions, arrange the parameters corresponding to each digit of each row, and calculate 1゜2.2...A.・
Create a number series like...

Chaining, separator presence/absence, guidance presence/absence parameters are added to this to create a line format as shown in FIG.

In this example, a maximum of 12 line formats of 1°2, . . . C (these are the parameters of the current loading format) can be created.

Next, one of the 12 line formats corresponding to each line of the slip is selected, and the parameters are made to correspond to each line to create a slip format.

In this example, a maximum of 14 types of slip formats are possible, and 1, 2, and 3 are shown in the number column of the slip format in Figure 2.
．． 4 indicates the type.

In the above example, "1" was for the order and "2" was for the "sales" slip.

This slip format is stored in the non-volatile memory of the terminal device, but at that time, if you select "1", the printer will print out *Hatsuchu*Select 1 as described above, and the guidance "Harachyu" will also be stored in the non-volatile memory. Store it in memory.

Next, a method of registering a slip format will be explained. This terminal device can be put into operation mode or registration mode. To enter registration mode, press and hold the ``registration'' key while turning on the power of the device.

After a few seconds, the terminal device enters registration mode and the registration lamp lights up.

To register the line format and input guidance, press the key "1" (this indicates line format/input guidance registration) and perform key operations in the order shown in FIG.

That is, line format number (1), chaining specification (0
), separator designation (0), and guidance designation (1) (the numbers in parentheses are examples), and then press the "memory input" key.

Next, key in check parameters for each of the 20 digits in one row.

If it is "0" without guidance, this is the end of the operation, but in this example, it is "1" with guidance, so "memory input"
Press the key, then press the key for the guidance with a maximum of 20 characters, and if the guidance continues, "Memory input"
After pressing , press that key, and finally press the "Enter" key.

This completes the row format registration operation.

The registration of the slip format and slip guidance is the same as Zo, and the key (2) indicating this operation is pressed, the slip format number, for example, 1 is pressed, the "memory input" is pressed, the slip name is up to 10 characters, in this example "Hatsuchu" , "Uriage"
Key in, etc.

Next, press "memory input", key in the row format number string (up to 12 digits), and press "direction of entry".

” Registered formats, guidance, etc. are written to battery-supported nonvolatile memory, so the records will not be erased even if the power is turned off.

Further, in the above description, registration was performed by key operation, but this can also be done by setting the terminal device in registration mode and receiving registration data sent from the center.

The registered details will be printed out and provided for confirmation.

Although the above registration operation is mainly performed by software, it can be explained from a hardware perspective as shown in FIG. 3.

Turn on the power to the keyboard 10 and press the "registration" key to put the device into registration mode.

Next, the above-mentioned registration operation is performed, and various data and guidance are sent to the slip format check program memory 14 in which the slip name, ie, identification information, such as "Harachu" in the above example, is stored via the control section 12 and the selection block 24. Write.

When inputting data, the keyboard 10 is operated to select "select", "1", etc., and the slip format numbered "1" is read out.

Guidance information is written into the display register 16, displayed on the display 20, and printed out on the printer 18.

22 is a control memory.

As mentioned above, the store code is input using the function keys, but such fixed data can be registered as follows.

That is, press the number "3" key indicating fixed data registration,
Then the fixed data rOJ rlJ r in the example above
Key in 2j r9J 15J and finally press the "memory input" key.

If there is a large number of fixed data, input the fixed data next, press the ``memory input'' key, repeat this operation, and finally press the ``input path'' key.

Fixed takes include ID numbers, passwords, etc., and registration of these is also the same.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably select a slip format without increasing the number of keys, and the present invention is extremely effective.

In addition to printing out the slip name, it may also be displayed as an image on the display.
