Is. 180 is an application memory in the DTE 100. A program area 181 stores a program for controlling each process and data transfer process performed by the DTE 100. A data area 182 stores data to be edited and data when each process is executed. DE _{110 to} DE ₁₃₀ are entries that store the data (DATA _{110 to} DATA ₁₃₀ ) of the searched portion.

270 is an RME memory in the RME 200. A program area 271 stores programs that control each process and data storage process performed by the RME 200. A data area 272 stores data transferred from the DTE 100 and data at the time of executing each process performed by the RME 200.

In this configuration, when the RME200 sends a command to the DTE100 to edit / transfer data relating to the state, the DTE100 causes the data relating to the state (DATA _{100 to} DTE100).
(ATA _130, etc.) is directly transferred to the RME 200 for each data without being edited on the application memory 180.

RME200 converts each data transferred from DTE100 to its RME
Store in memory 270.

That is, the present invention does not edit the terminal search data in the application memory 180, but directly edits the terminal search data.
The data is transferred to the RME memory 270 in the ME200, and the terminal search data is edited using the data area 272 of the RME memory 270 as an edit buffer.

As a result, the program area 181 in the application memory 180 is not affected by the edit processing of the searched data in any way, and the program area 181 and the data area 182 can be made sufficiently wide, so that the application memory 180 can be effectively used. You can

Indicates the editing of the total data of bills during payment total, and the 15-bit indicates the editing of the customer input contents, that is, the customer card data. The data of the part where the bit is set in 12 to 15 is edited. Bits 0 to 11 are set with general parameters for data editing.

The edit data in FIG. 4 is an example of edit data when bits 13 to 15 are set. The data of the bank code, branch code, account number and spare column are the data of the searched part 110 in DE ₁₁₀ (DATA ₁₁₀ ), and the data of the customer input amount, the transaction banknote and the number of coins are the searched part in DE ₁₂₀ . 120 data (DATA
₁₂₀ ), and the number-of-safes-sheets data is the data of the searched part 130 in the DE ₁₃₀ .

F ₂ (Explanation of Operation of FIG. 2) The search data editing operation of FIG. 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5 and its steps.

(1) Step S _{1 When the} input of displaying the DTE 100 status on the display 220 or printing out to the printer 230 is performed from the keyboard 210 of the RME200, the data regarding the status of the DTE 100 is edited.
The command for transfer is sent to the DTE100 via the transmission line 300.
Be transmitted to.

(2) Step S ₂ The transmitting / receiving unit 140 of the DTE 100 receives the command transmitted from the RME 200 and edits the edited data parameter (see FIG. 3).
By analyzing which of the searched parts in the DTE100 is the data edit / transfer request for the current status
Send to 150. Now the data of the search unit 110~130 (DATA ₁₁₀ ~
It is assumed that there is a request for editing / transferring to DATA ₁₃₀ ).

(3) Step S _{3 When the} edit / transfer request signal is input from the transmission / reception unit 140, the main control unit 150 searches the searched units _{110 to 13} in the entries DE _{110 to} DE ₁₃₀ of the data area 182 of the application memory 180.
To edit each data of 0 (DATA _{110 to} DATA ₁₃₀ ), press DATA
Transfer is performed in order from ₁₁₀ .

The main control unit 150 first sets, as the data transfer source address, the leading address AD ₁₁₀ of the DATA ₁₁₀ to be transferred first.

Note that the control performed by the main control unit 150 is executed according to the program in the program area 181 of the application memory 180, but the same applies to the control of each step below.

(4) Step S _{4 The} main control unit 150 sets the transfer data length DL ₁₁₀ of DATA ₁₁₀ .

(5) Step S _{5 The} main control unit 150 takes out the DATA ₁₁₀ in the entry DE ₁₁₀ of the data area 182, and the data transfer source address AD ₁₁₀
It is sent together with the transmission / reception unit 140. The transmission / reception unit 140 sends these data to the RME 200 via the transmission path 300.

The RME 200 stores the DATA ₁₁₀ transferred from the DTE 100 in a predetermined entry in the data area 272 of the RME memory 270 according to the data transfer source address AD ₁₁₀ .

(6) Step S _{6 After} the transfer of DATA ₁₁₀ is completed, the main control unit 150 checks whether or not the transfer of all data is completed. DATA ₁₂₀ and DATA
_Since the transfer of ₁₃₀ has not been completed, the process moves to the next step S ₇ .

(7) Step S _{7 The} main controller 150 calculates the transfer destination address AD ₁₂₀ of the next DATA ₁₂₀ . The transfer destination address AD ₁₂₀ of DATA ₁₂₀ is calculated by calculating the transfer destination address AD ₁₂₀ of DATA ₁₁₀ which is the previous data.
This is done by adding the transfer data length DL ₁₁₀ to ₁₁₀ (which is equal to the transfer source address).

(8) After the loop L, the DATA ₁₂₀ is transferred to the RME 200 by the steps S _{3 to} S ₅ , and the steps S ₆ , S ₇ , S _{3 to} S ₅ are repeated,
Transfer DATA ₁₃₀ to RME200.

The RME 200 sequentially stores DATA ₁₂₀ and DATA ₁₃₀ in the data area 272 according to their transfer destination addresses. Therefore, DATA _{110 to} DATA ₁₃₀ are stored in the data area 272 of the RME memory 270 in the edited state as shown in FIG.

When the transfer of all the data is completed, the DTE 100 performs a data transfer end process for the RME 200 and disconnects the transmission path 300.

On the other hand, in the RME 200, DATA ₁₁₀ to DATA ₁₃₀ stored in the data area 272 are read out and displayed on the display 220 or printed out on the printer 230.

As described above, the data of the searched part in the DTE100 is RM
The data is transferred to the E200 and edited by using the data area 272 of the RME memory 270 as an edit buffer.

Although the embodiment of the automatic transaction device has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment but relates to a data editing system of a searched part in a general terminal. Further, each configuration of the present invention is not limited to each configuration of this embodiment.

For example, as described above, the buffer for storing / editing the searched data transferred to the RME 200 may use a buffer for editing other than the RME memory 270.

G [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.

(A) Since the application memory 180 in the DTE100 is not used for editing the searched data, it is not affected by the editing process of the searched data and the increase in the amount of the data, and the application memory 180 in the application memory 180 is not edited during the editing process of the searched data. The problem that the program is destroyed does not occur.

(B) Since the application memory 180 can be used as the program area 181 and the data area 182, the application memory 180 can be effectively used.
