Program, method and apparatus for form output

A form output method having a high-speed small-capacity queue disposed in a high-speed small-capacity medium inputting and outputting form messages at high speed and a low-speed large-capacity queue disposed in a low-speed large-capacity medium inputting and outputting form messages at a speed slower than the high-speed small-capacity medium, to output form messages with different priorities to a predetermined device after queuing of the form messages, the method comprising:

• a rate detection step of detecting a residence rate of form messages in the high-speed small-capacity queue;
• a storage control step of, when the form message is received, storing the message into the high-speed small-capacity queue or the low-speed large-capacity queue that is determined based on the priority, the availability of the high-speed small-capacity medium and the residence rate;
• a dynamic location change step of transferring the form messages between the high-speed small-capacity queue and the low-speed large-capacity queue based on the availability of the high-speed small-capacity medium and the residence rate;
• and
• an output control step of outputting the form message to the predetermined device from the high-speed small-capacity queue and/or the low-speed large-capacity queue depending on the priority.

A form output apparatus configured to output form messages with different priorities to a predetermined device after queuing of the form messages, the apparatus comprising:

• a high-speed small-capacity queue disposed in a high-speed small-capacity medium inputting and outputting form messages at high speed;
• a low-speed large-capacity queue disposed in a low-speed large-capacity medium inputting and outputting form messages at a speed slower than the high-speed small-capacity medium;
• a rate detection unit detecting a residence rate of form messages in the high-speed small-capacity queue;
• a storage control unit, when a form message is received, storing the message into the high-speed small-capacity queue or the low-speed large-capacity queue that is determined based on the priority, the availability of the high-speed small-capacity medium and the residence rate;
• a dynamic location change unit transferring the form messages between the high-speed small-capacity queue and the low-speed large-capacity queue based on the availability of the high-speed small-capacity medium and the residence rate;
• and
• an output control unit outputting the form message to the predetermined device from the high-speed small-capacity queue and/or the low-speed large-capacity queue depending on the priority.
