[0006] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0007] However, the system described in Patent Document 1 only associates the measured values ​​actually measured on site with the judgment criteria, and does not assume that the measured values ​​are outside the judgment criteria. Therefore, in the case where the measured values ​​are outside the judgment criteria, for example, since the method of dealing with the error between the building and the drawing, etc., must be studied for each site, a lot of time is required in the on-site installation work.

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned situation, a method for improving the work efficiency of on-site installation work is desired.

[0010] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an installation operation assistance system of one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an operator terminal, which is used by an operator who performs product installation operations; a site information database, which stores design information of the site where the product installation operations are performed for each site; an operation information database, which manages information related to the product installation operations; and a control unit, which receives information that can identify the product and the site, and measurement value information related to the installation of the product measured on site, which is input into the operator terminal, extracts the corresponding design information of the site from the site information database, and extracts the corresponding information related to the product installation operations from the operation information database, calculates the installation operation method at the site based on the extracted design information of the site and the information related to the product installation operations, and prompts the information on the installation operation method to the operator terminal.

[0011] Effects of the Invention

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, information that can identify the product and the site input to the operator terminal and the measured value information related to the installation of the product measured at the site are used to prompt the operator terminal with information on the appropriate installation method for each site. This can improve the efficiency of the installation work at the site.

[0013] Other problems, structures, and effects than those described above will become clear from the following description of the embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Hereinafter, examples of modes for implementing the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “embodiments”) will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and the drawings, the same components or components having substantially the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

[0025] <First Embodiment>

[0026] The installation work support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described. In the first embodiment, the work content related to the installation project of the lift (elevator) is described as an example. Generally, in the installation project of the elevator, due to the vertical lifting of the car, the error between the building (site) and the drawing is strictly limited, and at each site, it takes time to discuss whether the product is compatible with the building.

[0027] However, the present invention is not limited to operations related to the installation of elevators, and can be applied to operations at various sites such as construction and construction. In addition, in this specification, the so-called product is not limited to the final delivery such as the elevator, but can also include the main products of the final delivery (such as the car, etc.), products other than the main products provided in conjunction with the final delivery, and components constituting each product or associated with each product. In addition, in this specification, the terms "installation" and "assembly" have a common meaning in that they are operations for installing products on site. If we must distinguish them, "installation" is a concept for the case of installing a relatively large product, and "assembly" is a concept for the case of installing a relatively small product.

[0028] [Overall structure of the installation work support system and internal structure of the management server]

[0029] refer to Figure 1 The overall structure of the installation work support system and the internal structure of the management server according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0030] Figure 1 1 is a block diagram showing an overall configuration example of the installation work support system and an internal configuration example of the management server according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the installation work support system 1 according to the first embodiment includes: a management server 10 and operator terminals 20A to 20C connected to each other via a communication network N. The installation work support system 1 is implemented by an installation work support tool (for example, see the following Figures 5 to 10 ) to assist installation work on site.

[0031] (Management Server)

[0032] Figure 1 The management server 10 shown is an information processing device managed by, for example, a customer department that manages customer information at the installation site of the lift and a work management department that manages design information and work methods. The management server 10 includes a site information DB (Data Base) 30, a work information DB 40, a control unit 50, and a communication unit 55. In this way, the management server 10 includes the site information DB 30 and the work information DB 40 as databases of the work management department.

[0033] - On-site information DB -

[0034] The site information DB 30 is a database that mainly manages design information (site information) related to the work site, and stores and manages the site information for each site where the product is installed. Figure 1 , an example is shown in which field information 31A to 31C of field A, field B, and field C, which are installation fields, are stored in the field information DB 30, respectively. In the following description, it is assumed that the target field is field A, and the control unit 50 accesses the field information 31A of field A. Similarly, the operator terminal 20A is used by the field operator of field A. Since the field information 31B of field B and the field information 31C of field C are the same as the field information 31A of field A, the description thereof is omitted.

[0035] In this specification, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the site information 31A to 31C of the sites A to C, it is referred to as "site information 31". Also, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the operator terminals A to C used by the site operators in the sites A to C, they are referred to as "operator terminals 20".

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the site information 31A of the site A includes engineering specification information 32 , site design information 33 , and product preparation information 34 .

[0037] The project specification information 32 is information related to the specifications of the project (installation work) of the installation object, that is, the product. In this embodiment, the project specifications of the site A are the specifications of the elevator project. For example, in the case of the elevator installation project, the project specifications include information on optional equipment. For example, in the case of the elevator, as information on the optional equipment, there are the presence or absence of an air conditioner, the capacity, the size of the opening (opening part), and the type of door frame.

[0038] The site design information 33 is design information about the relationship between the installation site and the product. In this embodiment, it is information showing the design dimensions of the elevator (such as a car, door frame, etc.) installed at site A, the dimensions between the structure of the house at the design stage and the elevator, etc.

[0039] The product preparation information 34 is information related to the prepared products and related parts. In this embodiment, it is information about the model (type) of the elevator installed at the site A and the parts installed in association with the elevator. For example, the part information includes the type, quantity, size, etc. of the part.

[0040] -Job Information DB-

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the work information DB 40 is a database for managing information related to work at a work site, and stores work step information 41 , assembly reference value information 42 , and work precaution information 43 .

[0042] The operation procedure information 41 is information indicating the operation flow (operation procedure) and operation method, and in this embodiment, corresponds to the engineering specifications of each elevator. For example, the operation procedure information 41 is a database having information on the on-site processing method and the response method of the parts corresponding to the error of the building structure. The operation procedure book information can also be said to be an operation guide for the target product.

[0043] The assembly reference value information 42 is information about the assembly reference values ​​of products and components, and is a database having information about the assembly reference values ​​of products and components that differ for each engineering specification. The assembly reference value information may be a range determined only by an upper limit value or a lower limit value, or a range determined by an upper limit value and a lower limit value. For example, when a certain product is assembled on the inner wall of a building (hoistway), the assembly reference value information is information such that the distance from the inner wall of the building to the car is at least a few centimeters away, or the distance between the reference position described later and the product is within a few centimeters.

[0044] The work precaution information 43 is information on precautions for preventing quality degradation and rework, and is a database of precautions in accordance with various specifications and building structures. For example, since the precautions for work may be different due to the dimensional error of the building, it is also possible to extract work precaution information corresponding to each dimensional error.

[0045] -Control Department-

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the control unit 50 includes a design information extraction unit 51 , a criterion extraction unit 52 , a calculation processing unit 53 , and a mounting work method extraction unit 54 .

[0047] The design information extraction unit 51 receives an extraction request from the operator terminal 20 , extracts design information, which is an extraction condition specified in the extraction request, from the field information DB 30 , and returns the extracted design information to the request source as response information.

[0048] The criterion extraction unit 52 receives an extraction request from the operator terminal 20, extracts a criterion as an extraction condition specified in the extraction request from the operation information DB 40, and returns the extracted criterion as response information to the request source. The criterion is a reference value for determining whether the position of a product (e.g., an elevator car) installed in a building or the like is an appropriate position in accordance with the design.

[0049] The calculation processing unit 53 receives a calculation request from the operator terminal 20, and uses the information sent together with the calculation request (such as on-site measurement values) to perform calculations based on a given algorithm. In the calculation processing unit 53, for example, algorithms required for each installation operation, such as product adaptation research, are constructed. As an example, the calculation processing unit 53 calculates the assembly dimensions of the product at the site. The assembly dimensions of the product are the assembly dimensions within the assembly reference values ​​of the product and recommended at the site. Depending on the structure of the site, there may be assembly dimensions (assembly positions) where the product cannot be assembled even within the assembly reference values ​​of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the assembly dimensions of the product in accordance with the structure of the site.

[0050] The installation work method extraction unit 54 receives the extraction request from the operator terminal 20, extracts the installation work method as the extraction condition specified in the extraction request from the calculation result of the calculation processing unit 53 and the work information DB 40, and returns the extracted installation work method to the request source as response information. For example, as information related to the installation work method, information such as the assembly dimensions of the product, the work steps, and the work content of each work step is included. In addition, the installation work method extraction unit 54 can also serve as the calculation processing unit 53.

[0051] In addition to the above-mentioned functional units, the control unit 50 can also receive various requests from the operator terminal 20 to process and respond, but illustrations and detailed descriptions are omitted. As an example, the control unit 50 has the following functional units: receiving an acquisition request from the operator terminal 20, searching for information stored in the field information DB 30 and the operation information DB 40, and returning the search results to the request source as response information. In this way, the operator terminal 20 can retrieve and obtain the required information through the management server 10 and display it.

[0052] When the communication unit 55 receives a request (e.g., a request to obtain information) from the operator terminal 20 via the communication network N, the communication unit 55 hands the request over to the control unit 50. In addition, when the communication unit 55 receives response information (e.g., screen information) from the control unit 50, the communication unit 55 returns the response information to the operator terminal 20, which is the source of the request, via the communication network N. In the following description of the processing of each functional unit of the control unit 50, the processing of the communication unit 55 is omitted, and the description is that each functional unit sends and receives various information and data with the operator terminal 20.

[0053] The operator terminal 20 is an example of an information processing terminal operated by an operator at a site performing installation work of an elevator or the like. As the operator terminal 20, a portable terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet-type portable terminal, or a laptop personal computer is used. The on-site operator can easily operate the operator terminal 20 at the site. In addition, the on-site operator can perform various operations such as inputting the manufacturing number of a product (e.g., an elevator) or inputting the on-site measurement value of the day through an application installed in the operator terminal 20.

[0054] (Operator terminal)

[0055] Here, reference Figure 2 The internal structure of the operator terminal 20 will be described.

[0056] Figure 2 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal structure of the operator terminal 20. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the operator terminal 20 includes a display unit 21 for displaying various information, an input unit 22 for receiving information input by a field operator, a control unit 23, and a communication unit 27. The operator terminal 20 has the same functions as a general portable terminal. For example, the operator terminal 20 has a call function and a function of displaying information obtained from the management server 10 via the communication network N on the display unit 21.

[0057] The control unit 23 includes an on-site information input processing unit 24, an on-site measured value input processing unit 25, and an installation work method display processing unit 26. Each functional block represents each function of an installation work support tool (application software) not shown.

[0058] The site information input processing unit 24 allows the site operator to input information (e.g., the manufacturing number of the product) that can identify the installation work at the target site as site information via the input unit 22. In this embodiment, the manufacturing number is associated with the site name, the product name and type, etc. (see the following description). Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 ).

[0059] The on-site measurement value input processing unit 25 allows the on-site operator to input the measurement values ​​(actual measurement values) of various dimensions related to the installation of the product at the target site via the input unit 22 as on-site measurement values. The on-site measurement values ​​represent, for example, the actual measurement dimensions inside the building in which the elevator is incorporated, and / or the actual measurement dimensions from the reference position described later corresponding to the position of the product (e.g., the car) to the inner wall of the building. The dimensions of the object from the reference position to the inner wall of the building represent the current relative position from the product to the on-site object.

[0060] The control unit 23 uses the input manufacturing number and on-site measurement value as extraction conditions, sends an extraction request to the management server 10, and finally receives the installation work method extracted from the management server 10. The sending of the extraction request and the receiving of the installation work method can be performed by any one of the on-site information input processing unit 24, the on-site measurement value input processing unit 25, and the installation work method display processing unit 26. Alternatively, the on-site information input processing unit 24 or the on-site measurement value input processing unit 25 may send the extraction request, and the installation work method display processing unit 26 may receive the installation work method. Alternatively, the control unit 23 may include an extraction request unit (not shown), and the extraction request unit may send the extraction request and receive the installation work method.

[0061] The installation work method display processing unit 26 displays the extracted installation work method on the display unit 21 of the operator terminal 20 .

[0062] In addition, the operator terminal 20 can also receive the result of the calculation process and the data of the judgment standard from the management server 10. For example, the control unit 23 of the operator terminal 20 can display the calculation result such as the difference between the on-site design information 33 and the on-site measurement value (actual measurement value), and the information whether the judgment standard is satisfied according to the calculation result.

[0063] When the communication unit 27 receives request information (e.g., a request to extract information) from the control unit 23, it transmits the request information together with the provided information to the management server 10 as the destination of the request via the communication network N. In addition, when the communication unit 27 receives response information (e.g., an installation operation method) from the management server 10 via the communication network N, it passes the response information to the control unit 23.

[0064] [Hardware structure of each device in which the work support system is installed]

[0065] Here, reference Figure 3 The hardware configuration of the control system of each device constituting the work support system 1 will be described. Here, the hardware configuration of the control system of the management server 10 will be described.

[0066] Figure 3 1 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration example of a control system of the management server 10 . Figure 3 The computer 300 shown is an example of hardware used as a computer. The management server 10 according to the present embodiment is implemented by the computer 300 (computer) executing a program. Figure 1 The functional blocks shown assist in the installation work by cooperating with each other.

[0067] The computer 300 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 301 , a ROM (Read Only Memory) 302 , and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 303 connected to a system bus. Furthermore, the computer 300 includes a nonvolatile memory 304 and a communication interface 305 .

[0068] The CPU 301 reads the program code of the software that realizes each function involved in this embodiment from the ROM 302, loads it into the RAM 303, and executes it. Variables, parameters, etc. generated in the middle of the operation processing of the CPU 301 are temporarily written in the RAM 303, and these variables, parameters, etc. are appropriately read by the CPU 301. The functions of the control unit 50 of the management server 10 are realized by the CPU 301 executing the program code read from the ROM 302. In addition, other processors such as MPU (Micro Processing Unit) can also be used instead of the CPU 301.

[0069] The nonvolatile memory 304 is an example of a recording medium, and can store data used by a program, data obtained by executing a program, and the like. The field information DB 30 and the operation information DB 40 of the management server 10 described above are configured using the nonvolatile memory 304. In addition, the OS (Operating System) and the program executed by the CPU 301 may be recorded in the nonvolatile memory 304. As the nonvolatile memory 304, a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), a disk medium using light or magnetism, or a semiconductor memory card, etc. may be used.

[0070] The communication interface 305 uses, for example, a communication device such as a NIC (Network Interface Card). The communication interface 305 is configured to be able to send and receive various data to and from an external device via a communication network such as a LAN or the Internet to which a terminal is connected, or a dedicated line. The functions of the communication unit 55 of the management server 10 described above are implemented using the communication interface 305.

[0071] In addition, the hardware of the control system of the operator terminal 20 can also be configured using the computer 300. The computer 300 of the operator terminal 20 can be connected to a display device and an input device (not shown).

[0072] The display device is a monitor such as a liquid crystal display, which displays a GUI screen, the results of the calculation process performed by the CPU 301, etc. The input device generates an input signal corresponding to the user's operation and outputs it to the CPU 301. The input device uses, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a touch sensor, etc., and the user can operate the input device to input information and instructions. The display device and the input device can also be integrally configured as a touch panel. The display unit 21 of the operator terminal 20 can be configured using such a display device. In addition, the input unit 22 of the operator terminal 20 can be configured using such an input device. In addition, the display device and the input device can also be connected to the computer 300 of the management server 10.

[0073] [Installation support system processing]

[0074] Next, refer to Figure 4 The following describes the processes of the management server 10 and the worker terminal 20 of the installation work support system 1 (installation work support method).

[0075] Figure 4 1 is a sequence diagram showing an example of processing of the management server 10 and the operator terminal 20. In the on-site information input process, the on-site information input processing unit 24 of the operator terminal 20 displays a screen for allowing an on-site operator to input a manufacturing number of a target product via the input unit 22 of the operator terminal 20 (S1).

[0076] Then, the control unit 23 transmits the manufacturing number input by the on-site operator from the operator terminal 20 to the management server 10 via the communication network N (S2). Figure 5 As described in , the work item (work name) to be performed next by the on-site worker is specified. Therefore, in step S2, it is conceivable that the work item (work name) is sent to the management server 10 in addition to the manufacturing number.

[0077] Next, in the design information extraction step, the design information extraction unit 51 of the management server 10 refers to the field information DB 30 as one of the databases to extract the engineering specification information 32 , field design information 33 , and product preparation information 34 corresponding to the input manufacturing number ( S3 ).

[0078] Next, in a criterion extraction step, the criterion extraction unit 52 of the management server 10 refers to the work information DB 40 which is one of the databases, and extracts the assembly reference value information 42 as a criterion corresponding to the input manufacturing number ( S4 ).

[0079] Then, the control unit 50 transmits the engineering specifications, design dimensions, and judgment criteria extracted in the design information extraction step of step S3 and the judgment criteria extraction step of step S4 from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20 via the communication network N ( S5 ).

[0080] Next, in the on-site measurement value input step, the on-site measurement value input processing unit 25 of the operator terminal 20 inputs the on-site measurement value into the on-site measurement value input processing unit 25 of the operator terminal 20 via the input unit 22 of the operator terminal 20 ( S6 ).

[0081] Then, the control unit 23 transmits the input result of the on-site measurement value from the operator terminal 20 to the management server 10 via the communication network N ( S7 ).

[0082] Next, the calculation processing unit 53 of the management server 10 uses the engineering specification information 32 extracted in steps S3 and S4, the on-site design information 33, the product preparation information 34, the assembly reference value information 42, and the on-site measurement value input in step S6 to calculate the assembly dimensions of the target product (S8).

[0083] Next, in the installation work method extraction process, the installation work method extraction unit 54 of the management server 10 extracts the installation work method of the target product from the work information DB 40 (work step information 41, assembly reference value information 42, and work precaution information 43 during assembly work) in correspondence with the calculation processing result in step S8 (S9). In this embodiment, the information related to the installation work method includes the assembly dimensions of the target product, the work steps, and the work content of each work step. The information related to the installation work method may also include work step precaution information.

[0084] In addition, the information related to the installation work method includes at least one of the assembly dimensions of the product at the site, the work steps, and the work content of each work step. For example, the assembly dimensions of the product are basically included in the information related to the installation work method, but depending on the product, it is also considered that the accurate assembly dimensions are not required and the assembly reference value is not required.

[0085] Then, the control unit 50 transmits the extracted installation work method (work step information 41 , assembly reference value information 42 , and work precaution information 43 during assembly work) from the management server 10 to the operator terminal 20 via the communication network N ( S10 ).

[0086] In the installation work method display step, the installation work method display processing unit 26 of the operator terminal 20 displays the installation work method transmitted from the management server 10 on the display unit 21 of the operator terminal 20 ( S11 ).

[0087] According to such processing of assisting installation work, by inputting site information (manufacturer number) and site measurement values ​​into the operator terminal 20, the management server 10 automatically calculates the installation work method (e.g., product matching study, dimensions required for installation) based on this information. Then, by presenting the installation work method calculated in this way to each site to the operator terminal, the study and calculation work performed for each site can be made more efficient.

[0088] [User interface example 1]

[0089] Next, a first example of a user interface in the operator terminal 20 in which the work support system 1 is installed will be described. Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 Next, a display example and an input example of a screen related to on-site information will be described.

[0090] Figure 5 2 is a diagram showing a display example of an input screen for on-site information in the operator terminal 20 . Figure 5 The on-site information input screen W1 shown is a user interface having a function for the on-site operator to input information (e.g., manufacturing number) that specifies the product. The on-site operator activates an installation work support tool (application software) not shown in the figure that is mounted on the operator terminal 20, and displays the on-site information input screen W1 (titled "Automatic Calculation Tool") on the display unit 21.

[0091] Here, Figure 5 The on-site information input screen W1 determines which project the input screen is for. The contents such as the selected work item (work name) are displayed on the menu screen (not shown), so the input screen corresponding to the work item selected by the on-site worker is displayed on the worker terminal 20 .

[0092] exist Figure 5 In the example of , the site information input screen W1 is configured with (1) manufacturing number, (2) site name, (3) product name and type, (4) machine code, (5) specification, (6) track, (7) OP, (8) earthquake resistance, (9) stroke, (10) door frame specification, (11) traction machine position, and (12) counterweight position as input fields or display fields. (5) Specification is the specification of the project such as the elevator, and this information can be used to understand what kind of optional equipment is available in the elevator. In addition, the items in the input field or display field are not limited to the above-mentioned examples.

[0093] Then, the on-site operator operates the input unit 22, inputs (1) the manufacturing number from the on-site information input screen W1, and presses the enter key. Here, the manufacturing number is input as "XXXXXX-XX". The on-site information input processing unit 24 ( Figure 2 ) If the manufacturing number is input, the manufacturing number will be sent to the management server 10.

[0094] Figure 6 2 is a diagram showing an example of on-site information displayed on the on-site information input screen W1 in the operator terminal 20. Figure 6 As shown, the field information (e.g., engineering specification information 32, field design information 33, and product preparation information 34) received from the management server 10 based on the manufacturing number input by the field worker is displayed in the corresponding columns of the field information input screen W1. That is, (1) the manufacturing number is associated with each of the items (2) to (12).

[0095] Here, as the project specification information 32 , (2) site name “test building”, (3) product name and model “AAA-6-C045”, (4) model code “CC-CC”, and (5) specification “standard” are displayed.

[0096] In addition, as the on-site design information 33 , (7) OP “800”, (9) stroke “60 m or more”, (11) traction machine position “left”, and (12) counterweight position “rear left” are displayed.

[0097] Furthermore, (6) rail "DDDD▼", (8) earthquake resistance "earthquake resistance grade F", and (10) door frame specification "large frame▼" are displayed as product preparation information 34. The display of "▼" is in the form of a drop-down list.

[0098] In addition, it is possible to freely set which item of information is received from the management server 10 or whether to input it as the on-site situation. In addition, as various input methods, for example, a drop-down list may be provided in each column and an item may be selected from the drop-down list and entered, or it may be freely entered. Furthermore, since the content to be input or displayed differs depending on the manufacturing number or product name type (model) of the elevator, it is also possible to change the candidates in the drop-down list according to the model.

[0099] Next, refer to Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 A display example of an input screen related to on-site measurement values ​​and an example of calculation results in the worker terminal 20 in which the work support system 1 is installed will be described.

[0100] Figure 7 1 is a diagram showing a display example of an input screen for on-site measurement values ​​in the operator terminal 20 .

[0101] Figure 8 1 is a diagram showing an example of a calculation result (assembly standard) based on input of on-site measurement values ​​in the operator terminal 20 . Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 An input example of on-site measurement values ​​inputted into the worker terminal 20 of the mounting work support system 1 and a display example of the mounting work method extracted from the input result are shown.

[0102] Figure 7 The on-site measurement value input screen W2 shown is a user interface that allows on-site workers to input measurement values ​​at the work site. The on-site measurement value input screen W2 includes a work site map display area 710 for displaying a map of the work site, and an on-site measurement value input area 720 for inputting measurement values ​​at the work site. Figure 7 In the work site diagram display area 710, an example of a cross-sectional view showing the top space of the elevator or the pit space as the lower space is shown.

[0103] The on-site operator measures various dimensions indicated in the work site diagram display area 710 of the on-site measurement value input screen W2, and inputs the measurement results into the on-site measurement value input area 720. Here, various A dimensions, B dimensions, C left dimensions, and D right dimensions of the top space and the pit space of the elevator where the elevator is installed are input respectively.

[0104] Each dimension of A to D is the actual measured value of the distance between the reference position at the site and the inner wall of the house. The reference position is the position that serves as the reference when the product is installed on site. For example, in the reference centering project of the elevator, it is the position of the piano wire hung on site for the installation work. For example, each dimension of A to D is the actual measured value of the distance between the piano wire and the inner wall of the house at 4 locations. However, the piano wire is not limited to one. Multiple reference positions can also be set using multiple piano wires. In addition, the object of the dimension measurement is not limited to the distance between the piano wire and the inner wall of the house. The reference position is not limited to the piano wire, and can also be set as a part of the site such as the inner wall of the building and the floor surface.

[0105] As a method of inputting each dimension, for example, one can select and enter from a drop-down list, or one can enter the dimension freely. Since the input content differs depending on the manufacturing number or product name of the elevator, the candidates in the drop-down list can also be changed according to the model.

[0106] Figure 8 The result confirmation screen W3 shown is a user interface that displays the result of the operation processing of the management server 10 based on the manufacturing number and the on-site measurement value input by the on-site operator. The result confirmation screen W3 has: a work site map display area 810; an assembly reference value display area 820 that displays the assembly reference value (the actual judgment reference); and a countermeasure display area 830.

[0107] The image displayed in the work site image display area 810 can be displayed in Figure 7 The work site diagram display area 710 may be the same as the diagram, or may be a diagram created with different expressions. The countermeasure display area 830 is an area that displays countermeasures when the on-site measurement value is not within the range of the assembly reference value as an example of the installation work method. Figure 8 In FIG. 1 , as a countermeasure, an example is shown in which a display is displayed such that “the reference position is moved to the left by ● mm as viewed from the lobby”.

[0108] In addition, the determination result (outside or inside the standard) of whether the on-site measurement value satisfies the determination standard (assembly standard value) may be displayed in the assembly standard value display area 820. That is, the control unit 50 (the calculation processing unit 53 or the installation work method extraction unit 54) of the management server 10 sends information on whether the on-site measurement value satisfies the determination standard (assembly standard value) to the operator terminal 20. And, if the current on-site measurement value is within the determination standard, the on-site operator can promote the assembly work of the product with the current on-site measurement value. On the contrary, if the current on-site measurement value is outside the determination standard, it can also be as follows. Figure 8As shown, the installation work method extraction unit 54 of the management server 10 calculates the movement amount from the current position of the product so as to satisfy the assembly reference value as the installation work method (countermeasure), and displays it on the operator terminal 20 .

[0109] The management server 10 performs calculation processing based on the information inputted on the on-site information input screen W1 and the on-site measurement value input screen W2, and extracts the assembly reference value information 42 ( Figure 1 ) as the judgment criterion. In the result confirmation screen W3, the assembly reference value information 42 received by the management server 10 is displayed as the judgment criterion in the assembly reference value display area 820 of the result confirmation screen W3. On the basis of confirming the result confirmation screen W3, the on-site operator performs the work in accordance with the assembly reference of the elevator. According to such a method, the installation work support system 1 can assist the installation work with an appropriate response method according to the site of each installation project.

[0110] As described above, the installation operation assistance system involved in the first embodiment comprises: an operator terminal, which is used by an operator who performs product installation operations; a site information database, which stores design information of the site where the product installation operations are performed for each site; an operation information database, which manages information related to the product installation operations; and a control unit, which receives information that can identify the product and the site, and measurement value information related to the installation of the product measured on site, which is input into the operator terminal, extracts the corresponding design information of the site from the site information database, and extracts the corresponding information related to the product installation operations from the operation information database, calculates the installation operation method at the site based on the extracted design information of the site and the information related to the product installation operations, and prompts the information on the installation operation method to the operator terminal.

[0111] According to the present embodiment of the above structure, information that can identify the product and the site input to the operator terminal and the measured value information related to the installation of the product measured on the site are used to prompt the operator terminal with information on the appropriate installation method for each site. As a result, the efficiency of the installation work on the site can be improved. Therefore, an auxiliary technology for installation work with high convenience is provided at each site.

[0112] In addition, in the installation operation assistance system involved in the present embodiment, when the control unit (control unit 50 of the management server 10) determines that the measurement value information of the product does not satisfy the assembly reference value of the product contained in the information related to the installation operation of the product, it calculates the movement amount from the current position of the product (the response method in the response method display area 830) so that the assembly reference value is satisfied as an installation operation method.

[0113] According to this embodiment, even if the on-site measurement value information is not within the range of the product assembly reference value, the product movement amount for satisfying the assembly reference value is displayed on the operator terminal, so the on-site operator can implement the countermeasure without delay.

[0114] In addition, in the installation work assistance system involved in the present embodiment, the screen for displaying information on the installation work method in the operator terminal (result confirmation screen W3) includes: an area for displaying drawings of the site where the installation work is to be performed (work site drawing display area 810); an area for displaying the assembly reference value of the product (assembly reference value display area 820); and an area for displaying the installation work method in the case where the measured value information of the product is determined to not satisfy the assembly reference value (countermeasures display area 830).

[0115] According to this embodiment, even when the measured value information at the site is not within the range of the product assembly reference value, the on-site worker can immediately confirm the installation work method (countermeasure) when it is determined that the assembly reference value is not satisfied.

[0116] [User interface example 2]

[0117] Next, a second example of the user interface in the operator terminal 20 in which the work support system 1 is installed will be described. Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 An example of work step information, assembly reference value information associated with the content, and work precaution information displayed on the worker terminal 20 of the installation work support system 1 will be described. Here, a work of assembling a product in a hoistway or a car is assumed.

[0118] Fig. 9 2 is a diagram showing an example of display of a list of work step information in the operator terminal 20. Fig. 9 As shown, the work step information received from the management server 10 is displayed on the work step information display screen W4. Here, an example of a directory displaying the work step is shown for the assembly work of product A (title: [2] Product A assembly) which is one of the work steps of the installation work of elevator X. In the work step information display screen W4, items "2.1 Product Overview" to "2.11 Work Step H" are displayed as a directory. "Product Overview" is information indicating an overview of the target product (product A in this example). "Delivery Method" is information indicating information related to the packaging method when delivering the product from the factory to the site. "Step Overview" is information indicating an overview of the multiple work steps shown below.

[0119] In the work step information display screen W4, a link is set for each item displayed. When the on-site operator clicks the icon to which the link is set, the work step content display screen W5 (see below) displays one or more work step information corresponding to the item. Fig.10 ).exist Fig. 9 , an example is shown in which "Link 1" to "Link 11" are set to the items "2.1 Product Overview" to "2.11 Work Step H" of the catalog, respectively.

[0120] The order of the work steps A to H in the work step information display screen W4 and / or the work content of each work step may be changed according to the actual measured values ​​at the site. That is, in this embodiment, the work steps and the work content of each work step are prompted in accordance with the actual measured values ​​at the site as an example of information related to the installation work method suitable for the site. According to such a structure, the on-site operator can perform the installation work in accordance with the work steps suitable for the site and the work content of each work step. In addition, the work content of each work step is displayed by Fig.10 The display shown is displayed.

[0121] Fig.10 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a display example of assembly reference value information and work precaution information associated with the content of work step information in the operator terminal 20. Fig.10 2 shows an example of a work step content display screen W5 in which a link icon in "2.10 Work step G" is clicked among the items in the catalog of work steps in the assembly work of product A set in elevator X. The work step content display screen W5 displays the specific work content of the selected work step G (adjustment of component a5), the related assembly reference value information, work precaution information, etc.

[0122] The work step content display screen W5 displays an assembly dimension adjustment diagram 1010 showing a method for adjusting the assembly dimension of component a5, a surface matching adjustment diagram 1020 showing a method for adjusting the surface matching of component a5, and a spring setting diagram 1030 showing a method for setting a spring included in component a5.

[0123] The assembly dimension adjustment diagram 1010 displays the assembly reference value information. The assembly dimension adjustment diagram 1010 is displayed in Figure 8When the assembly dimension (position) of the product needs to be adjusted (moved), the method of adjusting the assembly dimension of the product is displayed. The precautions for surface matching (an example of the work precaution information 43) are displayed in the surface matching adjustment diagram 1020. In this way, the method of adjusting the assembly dimension of the component, the method of setting the spring of the component, and the method of setting the spring of the component are displayed in the work step content display screen W5 as the work content of the selected work step (adjustment of the target component).

[0124] In addition, as the work content of the selected work step, only a simple display and assembly reference value information or work precaution information related to the work content can be displayed, and the details of the work step can be configured as other links or as links to dynamic images. Fig.10 4 shows an example of a detailed step icon 1040 for confirming the details of the work content associated with the work step G selected by the on-site worker and a playback execution icon 1050 for instructing playback of a dynamic image illustrating the work content associated with the work step G. The data of these work steps and dynamic images are stored in the work step DB 40.

[0125] As described above, in the installation work assistance system involved in the present embodiment, the screen that displays information on the installation work method in the operator terminal (work step information display screen W4) displays multiple work steps at the site (for example, work steps A to H), and icons linking each of the multiple work steps to the work content (for example, link 1 to link 11).

[0126] According to this embodiment, since a plurality of operation steps are displayed based on the on-site information such as the manufacturing number input into the operator terminal and the on-site measurement value, the on-site operator can confirm the steps at any time. In addition, by clicking an icon linked to the operation content of the operation step, the operation step can be selected and the operation content can be confirmed.

[0127] In addition, in the installation work assistance system involved in the present embodiment, in the screen that displays information on the installation work method in the operator terminal (the work step content display screen W5), there is included an area that displays the work content of the work step selected from multiple work steps at the site (for example, the assembly dimension adjustment diagram 1010, the surface matching adjustment diagram 1020, and the spring setting diagram 1030), and an area that displays at least one of an icon for confirming the details of the work content (detailed step icon 1040) and an icon for executing the replay of a dynamic image that explains the work content (replay execution icon 1050).

[0128] According to this embodiment, based on the on-site information such as the manufacturing number input to the operator terminal, the on-site measured value, the work content of the work step (and the assembly reference value in the field), and the work precaution information, the on-site operator can confirm these contents at any time. In addition, by operating the icon for confirming the details of the work content and the icon for replaying the dynamic image explaining the work content, the details of the work content can be confirmed, or the understanding of the work content can be further deepened through the dynamic image.

[0129] <Second Embodiment>
