Abstract
In order to prevent that applications (6) of a computer system are working with erroneous data, the validity of all data inputs is checked before the data inputs are transferred to one or more applications (6), wherein erroneous or invalid data inputs are rejected or corrected. The checking of the data inputs is carried out by one or more preprocessors (7) integrated into the event process of the computer system. The data receiving method may be applied to single-tasking or console-oriented operating systems as well as to multi-tasking or window-oriented operation-systems.
Claims6
An electronic data receiving method, comprising the steps of
- (a) receiving data inputs,
- (b) checking the validity of said data inputs by a preprocessor including examining and analyzing a plurality of said data inputs to identify the meaning of and relations between data fields of said data inputs to develop analysis and action profiles which are used to check the validity of new data inputs in an on-going self learning process;
- and
- (c) rejecting or processing and correcting, respectively, said data inputs by said preprocessor in the case said data inputs are erroneous or invalid, and transferring said data inputs to an application of a computer system in the case said data inputs are valid or have been corrected;
- wherein, in the case of a single-tasking operating system, the step of checking and processing of said data inputs is carried out before their transfer to an operating system in the single-tasking operating system.
