Abstract

An existing input and output system for inputting data via an emulator screen requires some degree of skill. A current mainstream web-browser-based input and output system that simply replaces such an existing system eliminates the advantage of various operations supported by the existing system. These input and output systems of different types are appropriately switched or simultaneously displayed depending upon the user or the usage environment. Two input and output screens on which a single system is operated are appropriately switched or simultaneously displayed by recording data input to a terminal and data received from the outside in a log file and storing the input data and the received data in display data storage parts for these two types of display screens.

Claims

1. A computer readable recording medium storing a program to input and output data with first and second display screens of different types, the program, when executed, causing a computer to perform a process comprising:

a first data entry step of receiving data input from the first screen;

an input data recording step of recording the received data as input data in a log file that records input/output data; and

a second display data storage step of retrieving the input data from the log file and storing the input data as second display data in a second display data storage part that stores data to be displayed on the second screen.

2. A computer readable recording medium storing a program according to claim 1, further comprising:

an input data transmission step of transmitting the input data to other computers;

a response data reception step of receiving response data which the other computers send back in response to the input data;

a response data recording step of recording the response data in the log file; and

a display response data storage step of retrieving the response data from the log file, storing the response data as first display response data in a first display data storage part that stores data to be displayed on the first screen, and storing the response data as second display response data in the second display data storage part.

3. A computer readable recording medium storing a program according to claim 1 or 2, further comprising:

a display screen control step of selecting which to display on display means the first screen, the second screen, or both the first screen and the second screen; and

a selection display step of displaying the screen selected in the display screen control step on the display means by outputting the data stored in the first display data storage part to the first screen, by outputting the data stored in the second display data storage part to the second screen, or by outputting the data stored in the first display data storage part to the first screen and the data stored in the second display data storage part to the second screen.

4. A method for inputting and outputting data with first and second display screens of different types, comprising:

a first data entry step of receiving data input from the first screen;

an input data recording step of recording the received data as input data in a log file that records input/output data; and

a second display data storage step of retrieving the input data from the log file and storing the input data as second display data in a second display data storage part that stores data to be displayed on the second screen.

5. A method for inputting and outputting data with first and second display screens of different types according to claim 4, further comprising:

an input data transmission step of transmitting the input data to other computers;

an response data reception step of receiving response data which the other computers send back in response to the input data;

a response data recording step of recording the response data in the log file; and

a display response data storage step of retrieving the response data from the log file, storing the response data as first display response data in a first display data storage part that stores data to be displayed on the first screen, and storing the response data as second display response data in the second display data storage part.

6. A method for inputting and outputting data with first and second display screens of different types according to claim 4 or 5, further comprising:

a display screen control step of selecting which to display on display means the first screen, the second screen, or both the first screen and the second screen; and

a selection display step of displaying the screen selected in the display screen control step on the display means by outputting the data stored in the first display data storage part to the first screen, by outputting the data stored in the second display data storage part to the second screen, or by outputting the data stored in the first display data storage part to the first screen and the data stored in the second display data storage part to the second screen.

7. An apparatus for inputting and outputting data with first and second display screens of different types, comprising:

first data entry means for receiving data input from the first screen;

a log file for storing input/output data;

input data recording means for recording the received data as input data in the log file; and

second display data storage means for retrieving the input data from the log file and storing the input data as second display data in a second display data storage part that stores data to be displayed on the second screen.

8. An apparatus for inputting and outputting data with first and second display screens of different types according to claim 7, further comprising:

input data transmission means for transmitting the input data to other computers;

response data reception means for receiving response data which the other computers send back in response to the input data;

response data recording means for recording the response data in the log file; and

display response data storage means for retrieving the response data from the log file, storing the response data as first display response data in a first display data storage part that stores data to be displayed on the first screen, and storing the response data as second display response data in the second display data storage part.

9. An apparatus for inputting and outputting data with first and second display screens of different types according to claim 7 or 8, further comprising:

display screen control means for selecting which to display on display means the first screen, the second screen, or both the first screen and the second screen; and

selection display means for displaying the screen selected by the display screen control means on the display means by outputting the data stored in the first display data storage part to the first screen, by outputting the data stored in the second display data storage part to the second screen, or by outputting the data stored in the first display data storage part to the first screen and the data stored in the second display data storage part to the second screen.
