Abstract

Provided in one embodiment of the present invention is a computer system including a database server and a terminal device for communicating with the database server; the said database server retaining a database; and the terminal device including: an interface for receiving data, which is stored in the database retained in the database server, via a communication network; a buffer for storing the data received by the interface in order to display the data in a window which is to be displayed on a display device; and a controller for starting saving the data, which is stored into the buffer, in a file at a time interval, with the window being displayed on the display device being as a trigger.

Claims

1. A terminal device, comprising:

an interface configured to receive, via a communication network, data from a database server;

a buffer configured to temporarily store the data received by the interface in order to display the data on a display device; and

a controller configured to cause initiation of saving the data stored in the buffer to a non-volatile memory at predetermined time intervals, in response to a determination that the data stored in the buffer is displayed on the display device.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the buffer stores a part of the data stored in the database server.

3. The terminal device according to claim 2, wherein:

the data stored in the database server is associated with an identification number of an operator of the terminal device; and

the buffer stores data which is associated with the identification number of the operator of the terminal device, among the part of the data stored in the database server.

4. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein when a display window of the display device is closed, the controller further causes to cessation of saving the data to the non-volatile memory.

5. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein before saving the data the controller further causes to lock the data stored in the buffer to perform exclusive control on an operation of changing the data.

6. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the controller further causes to repeatedly save the data at the predetermined intervals.

7. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the data saved in the database server represents a buy offer of foreign exchange of a limit order, and the controller further causes to adjust the predetermined time interval in accordance with a rate fluctuation degree of the foreign exchange.

8. The terminal device according to claim 7, wherein the rate fluctuation degree the foreign exchange is received via the communication network.

9. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the data stored in the buffer is saved in a CSV format.

10. The terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the data saved in the buffer is manipulated by an application which is installed in the terminal device or is accessible from the terminal device.

11. A computer system comprising

a database server and

a terminal device for communicating with the database server;

the terminal device comprising;

an interface configured to receive, via a communication network, data from the database server;

a buffer configured to temporarily store the data received by the interface in order to display the data on a display device; and

a controller configured to cause initiation of saving the data stored in the buffer to a non-volatile memory at predetermined time intervals, in response to a determination that the data stored in the buffer is displayed on the display device.

12. The computer system according to claim 11, wherein the buffer stores a part of the data stored in the database server.

13. The computer system according to claim 12, wherein:

the data stored in the database server is associated with an identification number of an operator of the terminal device; and

the buffer stores data which is associated with the identification number of the operator of the terminal device, among the part of the data stored in the database server.

14. The computer system according to claim 11, wherein when a display window of the display device is closed, the controller further causes to cessation of saving the data to the non-volatile memory.

15. The computer system according to claim 11, wherein before saving the data the controller further causes to lock the data stored on the buffer to perform exclusive control on an operation of changing the data.

16. Non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein computer executable instructions for causing a computer to:

receive, by an interface, via a communication network, data from a database server;

temporarily store, by a buffer, the data received by the interface in order to display the data on a display device; and

cause initiation of saving the data stored in the buffer to a non-volatile memory at predetermined time intervals, in response to a determination that the data stored in the buffer is displayed on the display device.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 16, wherein the buffer stores a part of the data stored in the database server.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 17,

wherein:

the data stored in the database server is associated with an identification number of an operator of the terminal device; and

the buffer stores data which is associated with the identification number of the operator of the terminal device, among the part of the data stored in the database server.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 16, wherein when a display window of the display device is closed, the controller further causes to cessation of saving the data to the non-volatile memory.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 16, wherein before saving the data the controller further causes to lock the data stored on the buffer to perform exclusive control on an operation of changing the data.

21. A method for saving data comprising:

receiving, by an interface, via a communication network, data from a database server;

temporarily storing, by a buffer, the data received by the interface in order to display the data on a display device; and

causing initiation of saving the data stored in the buffer to a non-volatile memory at predetermined time intervals, in response to a determination that the data stored in the buffer is displayed on the display device.
