Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an information processing method for tabulating and organizing slip information, for example.

For a slip, for example a sales slip, there is data information such as "product name", "quantity", "amount", etc., along with information on the "department", "section", "person in charge", and "person in charge" who are responsible for the sales. do.

If this is to be processed by a computer, etc., it can be expressed as keywords to aggregate and organize information such as "department", "section", "section", "person in charge", etc.
Item name, quantity, amount, etc. are the information to be processed through calculations, etc. For example, the keywords are arranged in series starting from the top keywords in the classification condition, and the data information is continued after this keyword group. , forming one record information.

For example, when "department", "section", "person in charge", and "person in charge" are each represented by two digits, the two-digit keywords are separated by a delimiter code Bk and expressed as follows.

Here, Be is a block delimiter code that delimits record information units.

These record information are arranged in series according to the priority order set in the keyword section, that is, in the order of the same department, same department, same section, and same person in charge. , data is collected in the same "department", for example, "01", and within this data collection, data is further collected in the same "division", for example, "01", and furthermore, within that division, data is collected in the same "section", for example, "01". Person in charge of "01"...
・etc. are collected in order and the record information is arranged and organized.

A large number of record information arranged in this manner is stored in a storage device such as a disk, for example.

This type of slip information is also processed by aggregating information common to each record on a unit-by-set, unit-by-unit, unit-by-unit basis. In other words, in the above example, record information of items having the same keyword consisting of the first two digits is collected, and sales information is added thereto to total sales data for each copy.

The present invention aims to provide an information processing method that more effectively represents the aggregated information during the information aggregation process as described above, and allows the work of creating aggregated record information to be performed.

That is, in the present invention, for example, when obtaining aggregate information in units of "person in charge", record information with matching keywords higher than "person in charge" is extracted from among the record information configured as described above, Processing such as addition and aggregation of the data information is performed, and the above-mentioned processed information is made to follow the keywords higher than "person in charge" from which the key word part of "person in charge" has been deleted, and the new aggregation for each "person in charge" is performed. It creates record information, and the aggregated record information is expressed as follows.

The total record information for each "section" and "department" is expressed in the same way as described above, leaving only the keywords higher in rank than the keywords in the total unit, and deleting the lower key foods.

One embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a means for creating total record information based on arbitrary unit key food as described above, and the main storage device 11 stores, for example, a large number of record information in units of slips as described above. This storage record information is arranged so that it is collected in order from the top keywords.

The record information read from this main storage device 11 is
The information is written to the internal storage device 13 via the adder circuit 12 while specifying the address using the address counter 14.In the internal storage device 13, the information written at the specified address is read out and the information is written to the internal storage device 13 using the AND circuit. 15 to the adder circuit 12, and the main memory 1
In addition to making it possible to add the read information from 1,
In addition to the comparison circuit 16, the information read out from the main memory 11 at that time can also be compared.

Further, the read information from the main memory device 11 is also coupled to the code detection circuit 17, and the word delimiter code Bkj
and detects reading of block delimiter code “Bej.

Then, when the code detection circuit 17 detects the block delimiter Be J, the counter 18 is reset, and when the word delimiter BkJ is detected, the counter 18 is incremented. The word order of the record information being output from the beginning of the record at that time is counted.

The count information of this counter 18 is supplied to a match detection circuit 19 and a decoder 20, and the match detection circuit 19 compares it with the designated keyword ranking from the keyword designation section 21, and the decoder 20 uses the count information of the counter 18 at that time. An output signal is generated at each selected fixed terminal of the selection switch 22.

For example, in the example of the slip information, if you want to total by "person in charge", three keywords such as "department", "section", and "person in charge" are specified in the keyword specifying section 21, and a circuit (not shown) is used to store the information in the main memory. The match detection circuit 19 generates a match output when reading keywords such as ``part 1'', ``section'', and ``section'' from the main memory 11, and outputs the match outputs sequentially in response to reading from the device 11. A comparison command is generated in the circuit 16, and at the same time, the gate of the AND circuit 24 to which a clock signal synchronized with information transmission is coupled is opened via the OR circuit 23, and the address counter 14 is incremented by the clock signal while the main memory 11 is incremented. The data read from is written to the storage device 13.

The comparison circuit 16 receives a comparison command based on the coincidence output from the coincidence detection circuit 19, compares the combined two-person input information, and generates an output signal to set the flip-flop circuit 25 when the comparison results do not match.

This flip-flop circuit 25 is reset when the code detection circuit 17 detects the block delimiter code "BeJ", and in the reset state, the AND circuit 1
5 and an AND circuit 26.

Further, the selection switch 22 is used to switch and set the word order of data information to be aggregated, and when the data words to be aggregated are being read out from the main memory 11, the selection switch 22 is used to switch and set the word order of data information to be aggregated. The output signal provides gate signals to the AND circuits 15 and 26, and also provides a signal to the OR circuit 23.

An inverter 27 is connected to the output side of the AND circuit 26, and this inverter 27 controls the gate of an AND circuit 28 to which information read from the internal storage device 13 is combined. The read information is written to the buffer storage device 29.

The buffer storage device 29 also includes an AND circuit 26
The output signal from the controller is given as a cancel command, and the record written at that time is erased by this cancel command.

That is, in the device configured as described above, the record information for each person in charge as described above is stored in the main storage device 11 in a necessary manner, and a keyword is specified to aggregate the information for each person in charge. Assuming that the keyword ranking from the top to "section" is set in the department 21, that is, the keyword ranking up to the third of "department", "section", and "section", first, by giving an operation command, the keywords are sorted from the main memory 11. Record information is read out serially according to the order.

This read information is coupled to the internal storage device 13 via the adder circuit 12. At the same time, the code information is detected by the code detection circuit 17, and the order of the word being read is counted by the counter 18. become.

The word ranking counted by this counter 18 is compared with the keyword ranking specified by the keyword specifying section 21, and when the keywords "department", "section", "section" are read out from the main storage device 11, a match is detected from the match detection circuit 19. An output is obtained, which provides a comparison command to the comparator circuit 16, couples a clock signal to the address counter 14, and writes information from the adder circuit 12 into the internal storage device 13.

In this case, when the keyword of the first record information is read out from the main storage device 11, there is no output from the selection switch 22, so no output is obtained from the AND circuit 15, and the "section" and " The keywords ``section'' and ``department'' are sent directly to the storage device 1 via the adder circuit 12.
Written in 3.

Furthermore, when the keywords "department", "section", "department" are also read out from the main memory 11, the match detection circuit 19
A comparison command is given to the comparison circuit 16 by the output from the main memory 11 and the keyword read from the main memory 11 is compared with the information read from the internal memory 13. Since there is no information in , a mismatch output is obtained, and the flip-flop circuit 25
is set.

In addition, the selection switch 22 selects the necessary data word according to the reading of the data information section to be aggregated after the keyword.
Select by.

There are a plurality of data words such as quantity, amount, etc. For example, when summarizing amounts, the selection switch 22 is selected in accordance with the word rank corresponding to the amount, for example "2". Set.

The selection switch 22 controls the increment of the address counter 14 when the data sword of the designated amount is read out.

At this time, AND circuit 15 is not opened because flip-flop circuit 25 is set, and therefore the necessary data word read from main memory 11 is stored in internal memory 13 as is.

Therefore, at the time when the first record information is read from the main storage device 11, the internal storage device 13 contains "part" and "part".
Only keywords such as "section" and "department" and necessary data words are stored.

At the end of the first record information from the main storage device 11, the flip-flop circuit 25 and the counter 18 are reset by the Bej detection signal from the code detection circuit 17 by reading the block delimiter code BeJ, and , although not shown, address counter 1
4 is also used to return to the initial value in preparation for the next record information.

Then, when the next record information is read out from the main storage device 11, a match detection signal is obtained from the match detection circuit 19 every time the keyword specified by the keyword specification section 21 is read out in the same manner as described above, and the match detection signal is sent to the comparison circuit 16 for comparison. The command is given and the address counter 14 is incremented.

In this case, the comparison circuit 16 compares the read information from the main memory device and the record information previously written to the internal memory device 13 with a word of the rank corresponding to the keyword being read from the main memory device 11 at that time. The information is combined as comparison information, the two are compared, and when they match, the flip-flop circuit 25 is held in a reset state.

At this time, since there is no output from the selection switch 22, the gate of the AND circuit 28 is opened by the output of the inverter 27, and the keyword information of the previous record information, which is read simultaneously with writing to the internal storage device 13, is transferred to the buffer storage device 29. will be written to.

Then, when the keyword specified in the keyword specifying section 21 matches the keyword of the newly read record information and the keyword of the previous record information, the reset state of the flip-flop circuit 25 is maintained and the totalization is completed. When the desired data word is read out from the main memory 11, the gate of the AND circuit 15 is opened by the output of the decoder 20 selected by the selection switch 22, and the previous data word stored in the internal memory 13 is read out from the AND circuit. 15, that is, the data information to be aggregated is added and aggregated by the adding circuit 12, and written to the internal storage device 13 as a summary report of the two record information.

At the same time, since the information written to the buffer storage device 29 at this time is not the final total information, the AND circuit 29
Cancel and erase when output occurs.

That is, in response to the sequential reading of record information from the main storage device 11 as described above, the same department, the same section, the same -
The information of the person in charge is aggregated, and when all the record information of the same “person” stored in the main storage device 11 has been read out, when the record information of the new person who follows it is read out, a comparison is made when reading the keyword. A mismatch output is generated from circuit 16 and flip-flop circuit 25 is set.

Therefore, the gate of the AND circuit 15 is closed, the record information of the new "person in charge" is written to the internal storage device 13 in the same manner as described above, and the total information up to that point is written to the buffer storage device 29 and output. It becomes like this.

In this case, even if the selection switch 22 outputs an output, the AND circuit 26 does not output it, so the buffer storage device 2
Reference numeral 9 stores the above-mentioned tally information in a buffer.

By repeating this operation, the slip information stored in the main storage device 11 is aggregated for each "person in charge".
The aggregated information can be obtained sequentially for each section, and similarly, the keyword specification section 21 can be used to obtain aggregated information for each section, or for each department.
By specifying a keyword for a unit, it is possible to create a summary report for a "section" unit or a summary information for a "department" unit.

In other words, the tabulation report for each “person in charge” is becomes like, Aggregated information for each “section” is becomes like, Furthermore, the aggregate information for each “department” is become that way.

In addition, each aggregated record information that has been aggregated in this way is used to create merged information such as the one below, which attaches the data of each "department" to the aggregated "department" and "section". The need also arises.

In such a case, a merging means as shown in FIG. 2 may be used.

In FIG. 2, 31 is a storage device, and this storage device 3
1 is composed of first to third storage sections 31a, 31b, and 31q.

For example, in order to merge records for each "section" into a set for each "department", the first storage unit 31a stores aggregate information for each "section", which is a small summary, in an organized manner. Then, the second storage unit 31b stores total information that collects each "division" in a county unit in an arranged manner.

and first and second storage units 31a. The read information from 31b is sent to the first and second buffer storage units 33a and 33 via gate circuits 32a and 32b, respectively.

It is coupled to the third storage unit 31c via 34b.

The read signals from the buffer storage units 33a and 33b are also supplied to the comparison circuit 35, and the read signals from the buffer storage units 33a and 33b are
If the stored information in 3b is A and B, a comparison output of (A'<B, (A'>B') of the keyword part is generated, and if the keywords of both stored information are equal, a comparison output is generated. prevent this from occurring.

The comparison outputs of (A'<B') and (A'>137) are respectively output from OR circuits 36a.

The set terminal S and the reset terminal RK are supplied to the flip-flop circuit 370 via 36b, and the OR circuit 3
8, a termination command is given to the comparison operation command circuit 39, and a gate command is given to the AND circuit 40.

Further, the output signal of the buffer storage section 33b is supplied to a detection circuit 41 that detects the end of keyword reading by counting the delimiter code, etc., and when the reading of the keyword is completed, it is sent to the OR circuit 36a or 30b via the selection switch 42. give a signal.

The set and reset output signals of the flip-flop circuit 370 are sent to the gate circuit 3 via AND circuits 43a, 43b and OR circuits 44a, 44b, respectively.
2a and 32b, and the AND circuit 43
The output signal of a t 43 b is further sent to the gate circuit 34
b, 34a as a gate signal.

Further, the output signals from the OR circuits 44a and 44b are further sent to the buffer storage section 33a.

Write and read commands are given to 33b.

The output signals from the first and second storage sections 31a and 31b are further sent to a code detection circuit 45a.

45b, respectively, and the storage unit 31a.

When a code delimiting record information is read from 31b, a code detection signal is supplied to the OR circuit 46, and the initial setting circuit 47 is driven only when a start command is given, and the initial setting signal is sent to the OR circuit 44a, 44b, and also gives an operation command to the comparison operation command circuit 39 when the code detection signal is given.
From this command circuit 39, buffer storage units 33a, 33
In addition to giving a read command to b, the comparison circuit 35
, keyword reading end detection circuit 41. A comparison operation command is given to a comparison operation circuit 48 consisting of a selection switch 42, a flip-flop circuit 37, and the like.

The comparison operation command signal is also supplied to an AND circuit 40, and the output signal from this AND circuit 40 is given as a drive signal to a processing command circuit 49 for obtaining a combined output. The processing command signal is supplied to the AND circuit 43a43b as a gate signal, and is further supplied to the AND circuit 50 together with the output signal from the OR circuit 46, and the output signal of the AND circuit 50 is supplied to the comparison operation command circuit 39.
is combined as a drive command.

Then, the command operation of the processing command circuit 49 is completed by the output signal from the OR circuit 46.

That is, in the apparatus configured as described above, the first storage section 31a stores the total record information for each "section", and the second storage section 31b stores the "section" record information for each "section". It is assumed that the aggregate record information of the ``division'' unit is stored, and that the aggregate record information of the small unit ``division'' in the merged state is collected and then integrated.
Select switch 4 so that the record information of
Assume that 2 is in the state shown in the figure.

When a start command is given in this state, a signal is given to the OR circuits 44a and 44b from the initial setting circuit 47,
The gates of the gate circuits 32a, 32b are now opened, and the first and second storage units 31a, 3ib
The record information at the beginning is read out and written to the buffer storage units 33a and 33b, respectively.

The information of the code is stored in the storage units 31a and 31, respectively.
When the code is read from code b, the code detection circuits 45a and 45b
A block delimiter code is detected, and this detection signal gives a command to the initial setting circuit 47 to stop the above read and write operations, and an operation command is given to the comparison operation command circuit 39.

That is, a read command is given to the buffer storage units 33a and 33b, and an operation code is given to the comparison operation circuit 48, so that the comparison circuit 35 compares the keyword parts of the record information stored in the buffer storage units 33a and 33b. It becomes like this.

In this case, since the record information stored in the first and second storage units 31a and 31b is arranged in the necessary state, at least the unit of "copy" of the record information read out at the beginning is The record information includes the "division" of the read record information in "division" units.

That is, the buffer storage section 33a. The keywords of "section", which is the larger unit of record information stored in 33b, are the same, so the comparison circuit 35 does not generate a comparison output, and the delimiter code is read out from the buffer storage 33b. At the same time, the completion of keyword reading is detected and a set command is given to the flip-flop circuit 37 via the selection switch 42, and a finish command is given to the comparison operation command circuit 39.

At the same time, a signal is also given to the AND circuit 4o to which the comparison operation command is connected to activate the processing command circuit 49, and the processing command signal is sent to the AND circuit to which the gate signal is applied in a set of flip-flop circuits 37. A write and read command is given to the first buffer storage section 33a via the first buffer storage section 43a, and the gates of the gate circuits 32a and 34a are opened.

In other words, the "section" stored in the Chihaffa storage unit 33a
record information is written to the third storage section 31c, and at the same time, new record information for each "section" is read from the first storage section 31a and written to the buffer storage section 33a.

In this way, when the total record for each "section" of the new code is written to the buffer storage section 33a, the delimiter code detection signal from the code detection circuit 45a causes the
A termination command is given to the processing command circuit 49, and a drive command is given to the comparison operation command circuit 39 via the AND circuit 50 to which the gate signal is supplied at this time, so that the above comparison operation is repeatedly performed. .

That is, the record information of the "section" constituting the "section" of the record information stored in the buffer storage section 33a is sequentially written to the third storage section 31c via the buffer storage section 33a.

Then, when all the record information of the "sections" that make up that "department" are written into the third storage section 31c, the record information of the "section" that makes up the next "department" is stored in the buffer storage section 33a. (first storage unit 3)
When the comparison operation command is issued from the comparison operation command circuit 39 (because the storage record information of 1a is aligned), the comparison circuit 35 generates a comparison output of (A'>B'), and the flip-flop circuit 37 Reset.

That is, the gate of the AND circuit 43b is opened to give write and read commands to the buffer storage section 33b, and the gates of the gate circuits 32b and 34b are opened to transfer the record information in units of "copies" that have been buffered up to that point to the third one. The data is sent to the storage unit 31c to form copy merge information, and record information for the next copy is written from the second storage unit 31b to the buffer storage unit 33b.

Then, in response to a code detection signal from the code detection circuit 45b, repetition of the above-mentioned operation is started, and the merge report of the next part is written in an array in the third storage section 31c.

In the above explanation, after arranging the total record information for each "section", the total record information for each "department" made up of the "section" is arranged to form merged information.

However, if the switch 42 is switched from the state shown in the figure, the same operation as described above will result in first the total record information for the "department" and then the total record information for each "section" that makes up the "department". Merged information is formed in an inverse arrangement to the above example in which the information is arranged.

In the above embodiment, an arbitrary word is detected by counting the word delimiter code and using the counted value. By counting, if the keyword is a fixed length and the data word is a variable length word via a delimiter code, it is possible to specify any word by counting the number of digits and the delimiter code, etc. Any method of specifying words can be considered depending on the information format.

Furthermore, in FIG. 1, the word order of the data information to be aggregated is designated by the decoder 20 and the selection switch 22, but this can of course be done with the same configuration as the keyword designation, without departing from the gist of the invention. Of course, various applications and modifications are possible within this range.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to express cumulative total processing of slip information, etc. effectively, and to effectively configure merged information, and to aggregate various information. Processing tasks can be performed very efficiently.
