JPH035839A - Fault information device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To judge the emergency and importance of a fault and to speedily execute an appropriate processing by permitting an operator to extemporaneously recognize what is the fault which occurs by means of the program of informed music. CONSTITUTION:When the fault occurs in a magnetic disk 1-2, a detection program 1-3 operates and detects that the fault actually occurs, whereby it is informed to an information program 1-4. The information program 1-4 informs a conversion program 1-5 on a terminal equipment side of the content of the informed fault. the conversion program 1-5 reads music which corresponds to the fault of the informed magnetic disk 1-2 and which is previously registered from a storage pat 1-6, transmits it from an output device 1-7, and the operator recognizes that the fault occurs in the magnetic disk 1-2 from the program of informed music. Thus, the operator can judge the emergency and importance of the content of the fault and he can immediately execute the appropriate processing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a fault reporting device that notifies an operator of a fault.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when a computer system detects a fault of some kind or prompts the operator to input information, it is common to use a buzzer to notify the user by indicating the pitch, length, or length of the sound, and to display supplementary information on the central display. there were.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In computer systems, even if there is a problem, the level of urgency and importance varies depending on the nature of the problem, and the operator must judge this and take appropriate action, but this can be expressed using conventional buzzer notifications. Since there are only a limited number of types, the combinations needed to represent the various reports from the computer system are complicated, which not only makes it difficult for operators to remember, but also requires them to read supplementary explanations on the center display. , problems caused by misidentification often occurred.

[Means to solve the problem]

The fault reporting device of the present invention includes a means for detecting and reporting a fault in a computer system, which includes means for detecting the occurrence of a fault, means for notifying the detected fault within the computer, and a means for notifying the detected fault within the computer. The system includes a converting means, a storage means for registering music to be reported, and an output means for notifying an operator using music.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

On the host computer 1, the business program 1-1
If a failure occurs in the magnetic disk 1-2 for some reason while the system is running, the pressure detection program 1-3 that detects the occurrence of a failure operates and detects that a failure has actually occurred. Notify the notification program 1-4.

The notification program 1-4 notifies the conversion program 1-5 on the terminal device 2 side of the notified failure details through the line,
The conversion program 1-5 converts the pre-registered music corresponding to the notified magnetic disk failure into the storage unit 1-.
6 and sends it out from the output device 1-7 to notify the operator of a magnetic disk failure.

The operator recognizes that a failure has occurred in the magnetic disk based on the notified music track name, and takes appropriate measures.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the operator can immediately recognize the nature of the problem caused by the reported music program, judge the urgency and importance of the problem, and quickly take appropriate measures. Now I can do it.

The music reporting means of the present invention is not limited to reporting failures, but can be applied to general notifications such as time and operator intervention requests.
