[0009] A determination device, a determination method, and a program according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals. In the following, the determination device of the present invention will be described using an example in which it is applied to a determination system 1 shown in FIG.

[0010] 1, the determination system 1 includes a determination device 100 and an information terminal 200. The determination device 100 is communicably connected to the information terminal 200 via wireless communication using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) (registered trademark) or the like.

[0011] The determination device 100 is a cutting device that cuts thin sheets such as paper or film, and is capable of transmitting and receiving various data to and from the information terminal 200. When the determination device 100 in this embodiment receives cutting data 112 from the information electronic terminal 200, it has a function of determining whether or not a mount that holds the object to be cut is set properly, and if it is determined that the mount is set properly, it moves the mount and cuts the object to be cut according to the cutting data 112.

[0012] The determination device 100 is provided with a left guide 300A and a right guide 300B for assisting the insertion and movement of a mount that holds a cut target. The left guide 300A and the right guide 300B are made of, for example, resin. A left sensor 20L, a center sensor 20C, and a right sensor 20R are provided at the mount insertion port 61 in the determination device 100. These sensors are optical sensors. Although not shown, the determination device 100 is provided with a blade for cutting the cut target, and a drive device for moving the blade and the mount that holds the cut target in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure. The determination device 100 moves in the Z-axis direction shown in FIG. 1 to make the position of the blade correspond to the thickness of the cut target. Then, by driving the drive device in the determination device 100, the mount together with the cut target is moved in the Y-axis direction (the direction of the arrow shown in the figure), and the blade of the determination device 100 is moved in the X-axis direction to cut the cut target. It is sufficient that a plurality of drive devices are provided, one for moving the backing paper and one for moving the blade, and they may be DC motors, for example.

[0013] The information terminal 200 is an information terminal (so-called computer) such as a smartphone, a tablet, or a PC (Personal Computer). The information terminal 200 has a function of creating cut data 112 according to an operation by a user. The information terminal 200 also has a function of transmitting the created cut data 112 to the determination device 100, and a function of notifying the user of an error or the end of cutting.

[0014] Next, the configuration of the determination device 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, the determination device 100 includes a storage unit 110, a control unit 120, a sensor information acquisition unit 130, a communication unit 140, and a system bus (not shown) that interconnects these units.

[0016] The storage unit 110 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) etc. The ROM stores a program 111 to be executed by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) of the control unit 120, various data (not shown) required in advance for executing the program 111, and cutting data 112.

[0017] The program 111 is a program for executing a cutting process, which will be described later, and is stored in the storage unit 110 in advance.

[0018] The cut data 112 is data indicating what shape the cut target is to be cut into, and is created by the information terminal 200 and transmitted. The cut data 112 received from the information terminal 200 is stored in the storage unit 110. The cut data 112 may be deleted when the cutting of the shape indicated by the cut data 112 is completed, or may be stored in the storage unit 110 for a certain period of time (for example, a preset valid period). When stored for a certain period of time, for example, the cut data 112 may be used as history information so that a user of the determination device 100 can refer to the cut data 112 stored in the storage unit 110 and cut the same shape as a shape cut in the past. The cut data 112 includes information indicating whether the mount used for the cut target is the short mount 50 shown in FIG. 3 or the long mount 55 shown in FIG. 4, that is, information specifying the type of mount (mount specification information). The cut data 112 also includes information indicating the drive amount of a drive device for moving a blade.

[0019] Returning to Fig. 2, the control unit 120 is composed of a CPU, an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), etc. The control unit 120 operates in accordance with a program 111 stored in the storage unit 110, and executes processing in accordance with the program 111. The control unit 120 includes a direction front / back determination unit 121, a length / shortness determination unit 122 (backing paper determination unit), and a drive processing unit 123 as main functional units provided by the program 111 stored in the storage unit 110.

[0020] The direction front / rear determining unit 121 is a functional unit that determines the direction and surface of a mount that holds a cut target. For example, the direction front / rear determining unit 121 has a function of determining whether the mount that holds a cut target, which is set in the insertion port 61, is set in the correct direction and whether the front side is set based on the time difference of acquired sensor information. For example, when each mount is set in the direction (direction of the arrow shown in the figure) and surface shown in FIG. 3(A) or FIG. 4(A), the direction front / rear determining unit 121 determines that it is set in the correct direction and that the front side is set. When each mount is set in the direction (direction of the arrow shown in the figure) and surface shown in FIG. 3(B) or FIG. 4(B), the direction front / rear determining unit 121 determines that it is set in at least the wrong direction. Also, when each mount is set in the direction (direction of the arrow shown in the figure) and surface shown in FIG. 3(C) or FIG. 4(C), the direction front / rear determining unit 121 determines that the direction is correct but the back side is set.

[0021] The long / short determination unit 122 is a functional unit that determines the type of mount that holds the cut target. For example, the long / short determination unit 122 has a function of determining whether the mount that holds the cut target and is set in the insertion slot 61 is a short mount 50 or a long mount 55 based on the time difference of the acquired sensor information, and determining whether the determined type of mount matches the type of mount indicated by the cut data. For example, the long / short determination unit 122 determines whether the short mount 50 shown in FIG. 3(A) or the long mount 55 shown in FIG. 4(A) is set based on the time difference of the acquired sensor information, and determines whether the determined type of mount matches the type of mount indicated by the cut data, thereby determining whether the set mount is normal. The mounts include the short mount 50 shown in FIG. 3 and the long mount 55 shown in FIG. 4, and each has a holding area 77 that holds the cut target. The holding area 77 of the short mount 50 is, for example, 10 cm x 15 cm, and the holding area 77 of the long mount 55 is, for example, 10 cm x 30 cm. The short mount 50 shown in Fig. 3 and the long mount 55 shown in Fig. 4 are provided with notches as shown. For example, the short mount 50 shown in Fig. 3 has one notch diagonally on the right side, and the long mount 55 shown in Fig. 4 has two notches, a notch diagonally on the right side and a concave notch in the center.

[0022] The drive processing unit 123 is a functional unit that drives each of the drive devices to move the backing paper that holds the object to be cut and to move the blade to cut the object to be cut. For example, the drive processing unit 123 has a function to drive the drive device with a drive amount according to whether the backing paper determined by the long / short determination unit 122 is a short backing paper 50 or a long backing paper 55, and also has a function to drive the drive device to move the blade according to the cutting data. In other words, the drive processing unit 123 is a functional unit that controls the drive of each of the drive devices for moving the backing paper and the drive device for moving the blade.

[0023] The sensor information acquisition unit 130 is a functional unit that acquires detection signals from the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R. For example, the sensor information acquisition unit 130 has a function of acquiring the detection signals from the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R as sensor information in association with the acquisition time.

[0024] The communication unit 140 is a device for the determination device 100 to communicate with other information terminals such as the information terminal 200. For example, when the determination device 100 receives cut data from the information terminal 200, the communication unit 140 is used. Also, when the determination device 100 transmits to the information terminal 200 information indicating that the cut process has been performed normally or that an abnormality has occurred, the information indicating the above is transmitted via the communication unit 140.

[0025] The configuration of the determination device 100 has been described above.

[0026] Next, the operations of the determination device 100 and the information terminal 200 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the overall system processing, such as the cutting processing in the determination device 100 and the information terminal processing in the information terminal 200. Note that in this example, it is assumed that the cutting data 112 has been created in advance by a user operation and stored in the information terminal 200.

[0027] First, a user operates the information terminal 200 to start processing of the information terminal. When the processing of the information terminal is started, the information terminal 200 transmits the cut data 112 to the determination device 100 (step S11). For example, in the processing of step S11, the determination device 100 transmits to the determination device 100 the cut data 112 selected by a user operation from among a plurality of cut data 112 created in advance and stored in a storage unit.

[0028] Upon receiving the cut data 112, the determination device 100 starts the cutting process. After starting the cutting process, the determination device 100 notifies the reception of the cut data (step S12). For example, in the process of step S12, the control unit 120 notifies the reception of the cut data by transmitting information to the information terminal 200 via the communication unit 140 that the cut data 112 has been normally received. Note that in the process of step S12, the reception of the cut data may be visibly notified by, for example, turning on an LED lamp provided in the determination device 100. Note that the functional unit in the determination device 100 that receives the cut data 112 corresponds to a mount identification information acquisition unit. Note that, differently from this, input of mount identification information may be acquired from an operation unit or an app of the determination device 100 itself.

[0029] After the process of step S12 is executed, the user performs a cutting start operation (step S13). For example, in the process of step S13, the short mount 50 or long mount 55 including the cutting target is set in the determination device 100, and a start button for starting cutting is pressed. Note that the determination device 100 may wait as it is until the process of step S13 is executed, that is, until the start button is pressed by the user. By executing the process of step S13, the set mount is inserted into the insertion slot 61 of the determination device 100.

[0030] After executing the process of step S13, the control unit 120 uses the function of the direction front / back determination unit 121 to determine whether the insertion surface and insertion direction of the mount including the cut target inserted into the insertion slot 61 are normal (step S14). For example, in the process of step S14, the direction front / back determination unit 121 acquires sensor information corresponding to the detection signals of the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R arranged in the insertion slot 61 in the in-plane direction of the mount and perpendicular to the direction in which the mount is inserted (X direction in FIG. 1) via the sensor information acquisition unit 130, and determines that the insertion surface and insertion direction of the mount including the cut target inserted into the insertion slot are normal if the sensor information corresponding to the detection signal of the right sensor 20R is a predetermined period or more later than the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L.

[0031] For example, when the short mount 50 shown in FIG. 3(A) or the long mount 55 shown in FIG. 4(A) is inserted into the insertion slot 61, the left sensor 20L provided at the insertion slot 61 detects the mount first, whereas the right sensor 20R detects the mount later than the left sensor 20L due to the shape of the mount. Therefore, in the process of step S14, the direction front / back determination unit 121 determines that the mount is inserted normally when the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the detection signal of the right sensor 20R is a predetermined period or more later than the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L. On the other hand, when there is an error in the insertion direction as shown in FIG. 3(B) or FIG. 4(B), there is no time difference between the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R. 3(C) and 4(C), in the case of the back side, the left sensor 20L detects the mount later than the right sensor 20R, and therefore the sensor information corresponding to the detection signal of the left sensor 20L is later than the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the right sensor 20R. Therefore, in the process of step S14, if the sensor information corresponding to the detection signal of the right sensor 20R is a predetermined period or more after the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L, it is determined that the insertion surface and insertion direction of the mount are normal, and if it is less than the predetermined period, it is determined that they are abnormal.

[0032] Returning to FIG. 5, when it is determined in the process of step S14 that the insertion side or the insertion direction is not normal (step S14; No), the direction / front / back determination unit 121 notifies the information terminal 200 of an error via the communication unit 140 (step S15). For example, in the process of step S15, the direction / front / back determination unit 121 transmits to the information terminal 200, as error information, that the mount is not set normally. In addition to this, for example, when there is no time difference between the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R, it may further transmit, as error information, at least that the direction is opposite. In addition, when the sensor information corresponding to the detection signal of the left sensor 20L is later than the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the right sensor 20R, it may further transmit, as error information, that the direction is normal but the back side.

[0033] On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S14 that the insertion surface or the insertion direction is normal (step S14; Yes), the control unit 120 uses the function of the long / short determination unit 122 to determine whether the type of the mount holding the cut target is normal or not (step S16). For example, in the process of step S16, the long / short determination unit 122 identifies the type of the inserted mount as a short mount 50 when there is no time difference between the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L and the center sensor 20C, and determines that the type of mount is normal when the type of mount indicated by the received cut data is the short mount 50. On the other hand, when the sensor information corresponding to the center sensor 20C is a predetermined period or more later than the time indicated by the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L, it identifies the type of the inserted mount as a long mount 55. Then, it determines that the type of mount is normal when the type of mount indicated by the received cut data is the long mount 55. That is, in the process of step S16, it is determined whether or not the identified type of mount coincides with the type of mount indicated by the cut data, and if they coincide, it is determined to be normal.

[0034] If it is determined in the process of step S16 that the type of mount is not normal (step S16; No), that is, if it is determined that the identified type of mount does not match the type of mount indicated by the cut data, the length determining unit 122 notifies the information terminal 200 of an error via the communication unit 140 (step S17). For example, in the process of step S17, the length determining unit 122 transmits to the information terminal 200 as error information that a different type of mount has been inserted. Note that in addition to this, for example, the contents of the cut data and the identified type of mount may be included in the error information.

[0035] On the other hand, if it is determined in the process of step S16 that the type of backing paper is normal (step S16; Yes), the control unit 120 performs drive control to drive the drive devices according to the cutting data using the function of the drive processing unit 123 (step S18). For example, in the process of step S18, the drive processing unit 123 controls the drive of each of the drive devices for moving the backing paper and the blade, and moves the backing paper together with the cutting target in the Y-axis direction (direction of the arrow) shown in Fig. 1, and moves the blade of the determination device 100 in the X-axis direction to cut the cutting target.

[0036] 5, after executing the process of step S18, the control unit 120 judges whether or not cutting is completed by the function of the drive processing unit 123 (step S19). For example, in the process of step S19, it judges whether or not cutting is completed by judging whether or not driving of the drive amount corresponding to the drive device for moving the blade indicated by the cutting data and the drive amount corresponding to the short mount 50 or the long mount 55 in the drive device for moving the mount has been completed.

[0037] When it is determined in the process of step S19 that the cutting has not ended (step S19; No), the control unit 120 returns to the process of step S18 by the function of the drive processing unit 123, and continues cutting until it is determined that the cutting has ended.

[0038] On the other hand, if it is determined in the processing of step S19 that the cutting has ended (step S19; Yes), the control unit 120 transmits to the information terminal 200 via the communication unit 140 a message indicating that the cutting has ended normally (step S20), and ends the cutting processing.

[0039] After executing the process of step S11, the information terminal 200 determines whether or not it has received error information (step S21). For example, in the process of step S21, the information terminal 200 determines whether or not it has received error information transmitted from the determination device 100 in the process of step S15 or step S17. That is, in the process of step S21, the information terminal 200 determines whether or not it has received notification of any error from the determination device 100.

[0040] When it is determined in the process of step S21 that error information has been received (step S21; Yes), the information terminal 200 displays the contents of the error information on the display unit (step S22), and ends the process of the information terminal.

[0041] On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of step S21 that no error information has been received (step S21; No), the information terminal 200 displays the end in response to the reception of the end information (step S23), and ends the process of the information terminal. Note that in step S23, it is sufficient to display on the display unit that the cutting has been normally completed.

[0042] The above is the operation of the determination device 100 and the information terminal 200. In this manner, according to the determination device 100 in this embodiment, when any one of a plurality of types of backing sheets including the cutting target is inserted, it is possible to determine whether the backing sheet is set correctly, and the cutting target can be set appropriately. Furthermore, it is possible to determine whether the backing sheet is set correctly before cutting starts, and the cutting operation can be stopped. Similarly, it is possible to determine whether the type of backing sheet holding the cutting target is normal before cutting starts.

[0043] In addition, due to the structure of cutting by moving the blade of a cutter or the like against a thin sheet, determining the sheet insertion direction by a physical method using a frame for a mount or a protrusion should be avoided from the viewpoint of freely moving the blade, and it is also difficult to make the device compact by taking an image of the inserted sheet with a wide-angle camera. According to the determination device 100 of this embodiment, accurate positioning is performed using an optical sensor, so the blade can be freely moved and it is also possible to make the device compact.

[0044] (Modification) The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. For example, the determination device 100 and the electronic terminal 200 according to the above-mentioned embodiment do not need to have all the technical features described above, and may have some of the configurations described in the above-mentioned embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the conventional technology. In addition, at least a part of each of the following modifications may be combined.

[0045] In the above embodiment, an example has been shown in which three sensors, namely, the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R, are provided in the insertion opening 61, but this is just an example. The number of sensors may be three or more. Also, the number may be two.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the short mount 50 and the long mount 55 having the shapes shown in Figs. 3 and 4 are used, but this is only an example. For example, the short mount 50 may be the short mount 53 shown in Fig. 6(A), and the long mount 55 may be the long mount 58 shown in Fig. 6(B). The short mount 53 shown in Fig. 6(A) may have a notch at one end, as in the long mount 58 shown in Fig. 6(B), and the short mount 53 shown in Fig. 6(A) and the long mount 55 shown in Fig. 6(B) may have different notch depths. In this case, in the process of step S16 shown in Fig. 5, it may be determined whether the mount is the short mount 53 or the long mount 58, for example, according to sensor information corresponding to the right sensor 20R. For example, if the time difference between the sensor information corresponding to the left sensor 20L and the sensor information corresponding to the right sensor 20R is 0.4 seconds, the mount is identified as a short mount 53, and if the time difference is 0.8 seconds, the mount is identified as a long mount 58. In this case, the type of mount may be identified based on a time difference that is predetermined according to the type of mount. In this case, for example, only two sensors, the left sensor 20L and the right sensor 20R, may be provided in the insertion slot 61.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the determination device 100 has been described as an example in which the sensor information acquisition unit 130 acquires the detection signals of the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R as sensor information in association with the acquisition time, but this is just one example. The sensor information acquisition unit 130 may acquire the detection signals of the left sensor 20L, the center sensor 20C, and the right sensor 20R as they are at the timing of detection. Then, the direction front / back determination unit 121 and the long / short determination unit 122 may determine whether the backing paper holding the cut target is set in the correct direction, whether the front side is set, and the type of backing paper, based on the time difference at which the detection signals are acquired.

[0048] In addition, the determination device 100 according to the above embodiment is provided with a blade for cutting the cutting target, and is also provided with a drive device for moving the blade and the backing paper, i.e., the determination device 100 is a cutting device, but this is just one example. The determination device 100 does not need to be provided with a blade or a drive device, and may be attached to the vicinity of an insertion port of a cutting device that is provided with a blade and a drive device.

[0049] Furthermore, when the above-mentioned functions are realized by sharing the functions between an OS (Operating System) and an application, or by cooperation between the OS and the application, only the parts other than the OS may be stored on the medium.

[0050] It is also possible to superimpose the program on a carrier wave and distribute it via a communication network. For example, the program may be posted on a bulletin board (BBS, Bulletin Board System) on the communication network and distributed via the network. These programs may then be started and executed under the control of the operating system in the same way as other application programs, thereby enabling the above-mentioned processing to be performed.

[0051] The present invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. The above-described embodiments are for explaining the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. In other words, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, not the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and within the scope of the meaning of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
