  • Patent number: 6108677
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes a slip file for storing slip records each including item data corresponding to individual item names of the slip records, and a data file for storing data records in correspondence with individual item names of the data records. A memory stores a correlation table showing a correlation between individual item names of the slip records and individual item names of the data records to be processed at a time of renewal of the slip records. At renewal of the data records in the data file, the item data of each of the slip records in the slip file are arranged to correspond with an arrangement of each of the data records in the data file, in accordance with the correlation table stored in the memory, to thereby generate records for renewal. The data records in the data file are then renewed in accordance with the generated records for renewal.

  • Patent number: 5870712
    Abstract: An ordinary person in charge is enabled to easily construct or modify a business processing system only by making a business flow diagram indicating the flow of the business to be adaptable to the contents of the business of the department to which the person in charge belongs if the person in charge understands the business system and slips and vouchers which are daily used without a necessity of requesting a system engineer having exclusive knowledge about programming to design the business processing system. Thus, a required business process can be performed. When the business flow diagram indicating the flow of each business in the own department has been made, a business constructing system analyzes the business flow diagram to make a slip registration card, an original register registration card and a voucher registration card.

  • Patent number: 5805881
    Abstract: In order to obtain an accounting form required by a person who has no expert knowledge, a first designation units designates record names of output records, and item contents (e.g., item codes) of the output records to be extracted, and a second designation units designates item names to be output as data items of the output records, and output object items to be extracted as data items in correspondence with the item names. Then, records which coincide with the designated item contents are read out from a predetermined file, and a processor processes data of the output object items on the basis of the readout records in units of record names of the output records. The processed output records are output in accordance with an arranged order of the record names designated by the first designation units, and data of the output object items of the output records are output in accordance with an arranging order of the item names designated by the second designation units.

  • Patent number: 5765167
    Abstract: A file update processing apparatus which enables execution of an intended file processing in accordance with the description contents of a correspondence slip and a generation table without requesting a system engineer to design a file processing program when a general person in charge who understands specific items required for a file in execution of daily operations sets predetermined items in the correspondence slip and the generation table so as to match his own business contents. When an original book registration slip, a journalizing table, and an expansion table are input from an input unit, an input processor registers them in correspondence with data files. A file processor generates a record on the basis of items set in the original book registration slip and items generated on the basis of the generation tables and updates the data file on the basis of this record.

  • Patent number: 5642521
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing apparatus by which, when an output level is designated and code conditions indicating target items at the time of extracting an output record are designated in the desired order in association with a plurality of items to obtain a desired slip, records that match with a plurality of code conditions are read from a predetermined file and are output in the designated order in association with the output level. Therefore, records that match with a plurality of code conditions will be grouped into a hierarchical structure as specified by simply designating code conditions indicating the target items in association with a plurality of items at the time of extracting the output level and output records.

  • Patent number: 5623658
    Abstract: A data totalization method for a data processing apparatus having a totalization definition table for defining a name of a table record in accordance with a totalization level and defining an item to be totalized in accordance with the table name. The method includes the steps of referring to the totalization definition table and reading out data relating to the totalization item from a predetermined file, totalizing the read-out data with a table record of an associated table record name in the totalization definition table, and totalizing if a record having a higher totalization level is defined in the totalization definition table, a totalized result of the totalization record with a totalization record of the record at the higher level.
