11: terminal 12: personal computer (PC)

The present invention provides a method and method for improving the graphics processing speed when displaying each data received from the terminal through a RS-232 (Recommended Standard-232) cable on a personal computer (PC) on the screen in the form of graphics; The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing this.

Currently, a program is typically run on a PC that can communicate with the hardware device to develop it, test it, adjust it, or monitor it. This is because it is difficult for the user to externally know what is going on at the Remote Interface Unit (RIU) terminal. Therefore, first, the command to be used for communication is determined, and the specified command is transmitted through the packet. When sending to the terminal, the RIU terminal sends the corresponding response message to the PC.

Therefore, on the PC, the message packet is displayed on the screen in the form of a text or a graphic so that the user can easily recognize it. In this case, since the graphic form is intuitive and easy to see, the graphic form is used in a Windows environment rather than a DOS environment.

By the way, while the text environment uses less resources of the PC system, the Windows system uses a lot of resources of the PC system because multiple tasks must be possible. In particular, in the Windows environment, the "Multi Document Interface" (MDI) method of displaying multiple forms on the screen is often used. However, this has the disadvantage of consuming too much of the resources of the PC system compared to the advantage of doing multiple tasks at the same time. For example, if the amount of data to be displayed in the form of graphics is large, there is a problem that the processing of the graphic data to be displayed on the screen is delayed, resulting in delayed screen processing or the inability to perform other work until the work is finished. .

In order to solve the problems described above, the present invention, when there is too much traffic in the communication system in the communication system, when the traffic is heavy, the graphics of the program during the multi-task using the multiple screens in the MDI environment by recognizing the processing state of Windows SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the speed of graphic screen processing and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing the method.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for processing a graphic screen in a communication system, the method comprising: receiving data to be displayed on a screen in graphic form from a terminal connected through an RS-232 cable; Ascertaining a position of a window to display the data on a screen as the received data exceeds a processing capacity of a communication system; As a result of the checking, processing the data and displaying the data on the screen in a graphic form as the window to display the data is positioned above the other window (mother screen); As a result of the checking, storing the data in a queue according to a window not to be positioned above another window (own screen); And processing the batch as the number of data stored in the queue exceeds a threshold and displaying the same in a corresponding window on the screen.

In addition, the present invention provides a communication system having a processor, a function of receiving data to be displayed on a screen in a graphic form from a terminal connected through an RS-232 cable; Ascertaining a position of a window to display the data on a screen as the received data exceeds a processing capacity of a communication system; A function of processing the data and displaying the data on a screen in a graphic form as a result of the checking, as the window to display the data is positioned above the other window (mother screen); As a result of the checking, storing the data in a queue according to a window not to be positioned above another window (own screen); And a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for realizing a function of collectively processing and displaying in a corresponding window on a screen as the number of data stored in the queue exceeds a threshold.

In the present invention, when data communication is performed by connecting a hardware device to a PC using an RS-232 cable, and processing data graphically on a PC with data from a terminal, when there are too many packets of data and there is a lot of traffic, By recognizing the processing status, multi-tasking with multiple screens in the MDI environment can improve the graphics speed of the program. In other words, it reduces the traffic of packets that need to be processed graphically, which makes screen display flexible, improves the efficiency of PC systems, and speeds up graphics processing.

The above objects, features and advantages will become more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a communication system to which the present invention is applied. In the drawings, "11" represents a terminal and "12" represents a personal computer (PC).

As shown in Fig. 1, the communication system to which the present invention is applied uses an RS-232 cable for data communication between the terminal 11 and the control program for the PC 12.

Using an RS-232 cable, a command for requesting necessary data from the control program on the PC 12 to the terminal 11 is sent, and the terminal 11 transfers the corresponding data or values to the control program of the PC 12. Send it.

In the control program of the PC 12, the processing result values of the data received from the terminal 11 are displayed on the screen graphically. To simultaneously display various data on the screen, open a child window as shown in FIG. The data must be displayed graphically.

By the way, when the type of data required for the terminal 11 increases, the number of open screens increases and the amount of data increases. In this case, the control program has a lot of communication traffic, so that the data to be processed graphically.

In general, processing graphically rather than textually causes the PC 12 to do more computation. This can cause delays for the data to be processed.

Therefore, the present invention is to reduce the number of times of processing the hidden screen, to make the system more flexible and faster graphics processing.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the number of child windows displayed on the screen increases, the screens overlap each other. In this case, the number of graphic processes may be reduced for the hidden screen.

In order to reduce the graphics work for different types of packets and to reduce the nodes of the system, we first need to check whether the windows shown on the screen hide or overlap each other.

If the overlapping part of the window is to be processed as a graphic, the data to be processed in the lower window is stacked in a buffer, and the graphic of the upper window is processed first and displayed on the screen. It periodically processes the data to be displayed in the lower window.

After that, when the hidden screen (bottom window) rises upward, the accumulated data in the buffer is processed at once and displayed on the screen. In other words, the work of the invisible part can be processed later or all at once to speed up the processing of the graphic screen.

Therefore, as the upper window disappears, it should always be monitored whether the lower window comes to the front of the screen and accordingly instructs the graphic processing.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for improving a graphic screen processing speed according to the present invention.

First, the control program on the PC 12 requests data to the terminal 11 connected through the RS-232 cable to receive the corresponding data (401).
Then, the position of the window to display the data on the PC screen is checked (402).

As a result of the check 402, if the window to display the data is located above the other window (mother screen), the data is processed and displayed on the screen in graphic form (403).

If the check result 402, the window to display the data is not located above the other window (child screen), it is stored in the queue (404).
Then, it is checked whether the number of data stored in the queue exceeds a threshold (preferably 10) (405). At this time, when the child screen is changed to the mother screen according to the user's selection, the data to be displayed on the child screen is processed first.
If the check result 405 does not exceed the threshold value, the process proceeds to the “401” process. If the threshold value is exceeded, the data stored in the queue is processed in a batch and displayed in a corresponding window on the screen. 406).

As described above, the control program on the PC 12 requests data (message) from the terminal 11, and repeats the above process for the received data.
The present invention can significantly improve the processing speed by reducing the number of data processing when the data processing capacity of the communication system is exceeded.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and the above-described embodiments and accompanying It is not limited to the drawing.

The present invention as described above, when displaying various data on the screen in the form of graphics, it is possible to change the processing order of the packet to improve the processing speed of the graphics, it is possible to reduce the traffic, thereby making the display of the screen flexible As a result, the efficiency of PC system resources can be improved.
