Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information transmission system, an information transmission program, and an information transmission method.

Background Art

[0002] In research and development and manufacturing sites, various inspection and measurement devices are generally used to inspect and measure various characteristics of products, and the inspection / measurement data is captured by various means into a computer at the site such as a research institute or a factory. The inspection / measurement data captured by the computer at the site may be transferred to, for example, a central management server separate from the computer at the site or an external computer for further inspection, analysis, manufacturing management, etc., and may be stored and managed.

[0003] Among various inspection / measurement devices installed at manufacturing sites, etc., some are configured to be able to digitally transmit inspection / measurement data by providing a general-purpose communication interface (USB, Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.), but there are still a large number of old-fashioned inspection / measurement devices that do not have such a data output function in operation. There are also quite a few so-called stand-alone inspection / measurement devices that cannot be network-connected, and even if they have a data output function, it may be difficult to output digital data due to differences in interfaces, insufficient numbers of output terminals, differences in data formats, etc.

[0004] In addition, the computer network at the research and development and manufacturing sites and the computer network in the office including the management department are often separated from the perspective of network security. In that case, data cannot be transmitted or received between different networks. Thus, various inspection / measurement devices connected to different networks, similar to old-fashioned inspection / measurement devices without a data output function, do not substantially have a data output function to the computer network in the office.

[0005] In the inspection / measurement apparatus as described above, operations such as the operator visually checking the display screen of the apparatus and manually inputting data, or converting it into text data using OCR are required. Manual input is a burdensome task for the operator and there is also a risk of input errors. In addition, OCR software still has insufficient accuracy and lacks reliability.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, functionally identical elements may sometimes be denoted by the same reference numerals. Note that the accompanying drawings show embodiments and implementation examples in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure, but these are for the purpose of understanding the present disclosure and are not used to limit the present disclosure in any way. The description in this specification is merely a typical example and does not limit the scope of the claims or application examples of the present disclosure in any sense.

[0014] In this embodiment, although the description is made in sufficient detail for those skilled in the art to implement the present disclosure, other implementations and forms are also possible, and it is necessary to understand that changes in configuration and structure and replacement of various elements can be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the technical idea of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following description should not be construed as being limited thereto.

[0015] [First Embodiment] First, referring to FIG. 1, the information transmission system 1 of the first embodiment will be described. This information transmission system 1 is a system for transmitting and storing inspection / measurement data of various inspection / measurement devices installed in a company's research and development institute, factory, etc. to the central management server 40, and is mainly composed of a transmission computer 10 and a two-dimensional code reader 30.

[0016] To various inspection / measurement devices, for example, an inspection / measurement device computer 20 for capturing and managing inspection / measurement data (such as an image of a display unit) of the inspection / measurement device is connected. The inspection / measurement device computer 20 is linked and connected to the transmission computer 10 through an interface or network NW such as a LAN (Local Area Network), various communication cables (such as USB (Universal Serial Bus)), or the Internet. Note that the inspection / measurement device itself may be directly connected to the transmission computer 10 so that image data and the like can be directly transmitted to and received from the transmission computer 10. Also, it is possible to construct such that one inspection / measurement device computer 20 manages a plurality of inspection / measurement devices. The network NW may be, in addition to the Internet, a standard for wired communication such as Ethernet (registered trademark), FDDI, or a wireless communication network such as 4G, 5G, or Wi-Fi (registered trademark).

[0017] The inspection / measurement device computer 20 is configured to be able to capture the output of the inspection / measurement result of the inspection / measurement device in various forms. As an example, the inspection / measurement device computer 20 can obtain inspection / measurement data displayed on a display unit (such as a liquid crystal display, a monochrome display, a printer, etc.) of the inspection / measurement device as image data such as JPEG data or pdf data by imaging it with a camera (not shown), for example.

[0018] The transmission computer 10 can convert image data such as JPEG data and PDF data into text data. For the text data obtained from inspection / measurement devices that can output text data such as CSV (Comma Separated Values) data, the inspection / measurement device computer 20 can also transmit it to the transmission computer 10.

[0019] The text data obtained from the inspection / measurement device computer 20 (or inspection / measurement device) in the transmission computer 10 is converted into a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) and displayed on the display unit of the transmission computer 10. The displayed two-dimensional code is read by the two-dimensional code reader 30 and restored to text data (such as CSV data) in the central management server 40. The restored text data is stored and managed as inspection / measurement data of the inspection / measurement device in the central management server 40.

[0020] Note that the central management server 40 is an example, and as long as the data is managed and stored, other forms of computers may be adopted instead of the central management server 40. Also, the two-dimensional code reader 30 is not limited to a dedicated device, and may be, for example, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a digital camera installed with a two-dimensional code application. Also, instead of restoring the original text data, corresponding data (CSV data, plain text data, etc.) may be generated. Also, the restoration of the original data only needs to substantially reproduce the original inspection / measurement results, and it is not necessary to make them exactly match. For example, "OK", "NG", etc. in the original inspection / measurement data may be changed to "1", "0", etc. in the restored data.

[0021] Next, with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 2, an example of the hardware configuration and software configuration of the transmission computer 10 will be described. As an example, the transmission computer 10 includes a CPU 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 103, an input / output interface 104, a storage device 105, a display unit 106, a speaker 107, and a communication control unit 108. The configuration of FIG. 2 is an example, and elements other than the illustrated components may be added, appropriately omitted, or replaced by other components of the same type.

[0022] The CPU 101 is an arithmetic unit responsible for various arithmetic operations related to various operations of the transmission computer 10. In addition to the CPU 101, a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) responsible for image processing may be provided. The RAM 102 has a function of temporarily holding various arithmetic data and the like during the execution of various programs stored in the transmission computer 10. The ROM 103 stores the BIOS and the firmware of peripheral devices.

[0023] The input / output interface 104 is an interface device that captures input signals from input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc., not shown) and outputs output signals to various output devices. The storage device 105 is a storage device that stores various programs such as data transmission programs and various data, and is, for example, a hard disk drive device or a solid state drive device.

[0024] RAM 102, ROM 103, and storage device 105 are examples of storage devices, and it goes without saying that configurations of different storage devices can be adopted. The program may be pre-stored (installed) in ROM 103 or storage 105, but may also be provided in a form recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disk Read Only Memory), or USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. Further, the program may be in a form downloaded from an external device via a network.

[0025] The display unit 106 is a display device for displaying an execution screen such as a data transmission program, etc., and is, for example, a liquid crystal display or the like. The speaker 107 is an audio output device for outputting various output information as sound. The communication control unit 108 controls communication with an external computer.

[0026] As an example, the data transmission program can be realized in the transmission computer 10 with a reading area selection instruction unit 111, a text data conversion unit 112, a dictionary data management unit 113, and a two-dimensional code conversion unit 114.

[0027] The reading area selection instruction unit 111 instructs the operator (user) of the inspection / measurement device computer 20 or the operator of the transmission computer 10 to select a reading area containing characters or the like indicating the inspection / measurement result from among the image data corresponding to the inspection / measurement results obtained from the inspection / measurement device. The operator of the inspection / measurement device computer 20 or the operator of the transmission computer 10 who has received the instruction to select the reading area selects the reading area in the manner to be described in detail later. Note that the selection of the reading area may be performed each time a series of reading operations are performed, or data pre-selected for each different inspection / measurement device may be saved as the reading area and the saved data may be read out. Also, the screen corresponding to the inspection / measurement result may not be displayed on the screen of the inspection / measurement device computer 20 or the like, and it is also possible to directly convert the stored image data into CSV data and into a two-dimensional code.

[0028] The text data conversion unit 112 analyzes the image included in the reading area selected by the reading area instruction unit 111 and converts the character information included in the image into text data. When converting the character information into text data, the dictionary data registered in the dictionary data management unit 113 is used. The procedure for registering the dictionary data in the dictionary data management unit 113 will be described later.

[0029] The two-dimensional code conversion unit 114 has a function of converting the text data generated by the text data conversion unit 112 into a two-dimensional code, for example, a QR code (registered trademark). Instead of the QR code (registered trademark), it is also possible to adopt an SP code, a VeriCode, a MaxiCode, a CP code, a Data Matrix, a Chameleon code, or the like. Also, instead of the matrix type two-dimensional code, it is also possible to adopt a so-called stacked two-dimensional code.

[0030] Next, with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 3, an example of the hardware configuration and software configuration of the central management server 40 will be described. As an example, the central management server 40 includes a CPU 201, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 202, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 203, an input / output interface 204, a storage device 205, a display unit 206, a speaker 207, and a communication control unit 208. The configuration of FIG. 3 is an example, and elements other than the illustrated components may be added, appropriately omitted, or replaced by other components of the same type.

[0031] The CPU 201 is an arithmetic unit responsible for various operations related to various operations of the central management server 40. In addition to the CPU 201, a GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) responsible for image processing may be provided. The RAM 202 has a function of temporarily holding various arithmetic data and the like during the execution of various programs stored in the central management server 40. The ROM 203 stores the BIOS and the firmware of peripheral devices.

[0032] The input / output interface 204 is an interface device that captures input signals from input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc., not shown) and outputs output signals to various output devices. The storage device 205 is a storage device that stores various programs such as data transmission programs and various data, and is, for example, a hard disk drive device or a solid state drive device. The RAM 202, the ROM 203, and the storage device 205 are examples of storage devices, and it goes without saying that a configuration of a storage device different from this can be adopted.

[0033] The display unit 206 is a display device for displaying an execution screen of a data transmission program or the like, and is, for example, a liquid crystal display or the like. The speaker 207 is an audio output device that outputs various output information as audio. The communication control unit 208 controls communication with an external computer.

[0034] As an example, the data transmission program can be implemented in the central management server 40 with a two-dimensional code reading unit 211, a text data conversion unit 212, and a CSV format conversion unit 213.

[0035] The two-dimensional code reading unit 211 has a function of reading the two-dimensional code generated by the transmission computer 10 and read by the two-dimensional code reader 30 and converting it into binary data. The text data conversion unit 212 has a function of restoring the binary data obtained by the two-dimensional code reading unit 211 to the original text data, for example, CSV data. The CSV format conversion unit 213 converts it into a format corresponding to the original image data of the inspection / measurement device. Note that the two-dimensional code reading unit 211 may be configured to output, for example, an HID profile instead of converting the read two-dimensional code into a binary code.

[0036] With reference to FIG. 4, an overview of the procedure for converting into a two-dimensional code in the transmission computer 10 will be described. In the inspection / measurement device, inspection / measurement data indicating the result of the inspection is displayed on the screen of the inspection / measurement device computer 20. The reading area selection instruction unit 111 of the transmission computer 10 instructs the operator to select, for example, an area in the screen of the inspection / measurement data as the reading area on the display unit (main display, sub-display, etc.) of the inspection / measurement device computer 20 or the transmission computer 10. The selected area data can be converted into, for example, coordinate data and stored in a predetermined storage area.

[0037] The operator operates an input device such as a mouse to specify a reading box SB indicating the reading area. The image IMs of the area designated as the reading area are converted into CSV data by the text data conversion unit 112. In the conversion in the text data conversion unit 112, the dictionary data of the dictionary data management unit 113 is referred to. The converted CSV data is converted into a two-dimensional code by the two-dimensional code conversion unit 114.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 5, an example of the registration screen of the dictionary data management unit 113 will be described. The dictionary data management unit 113 registers and manages by associating information such as the image of characters included in the image data of inspection / measurement data displayed on the inspection / measurement device with the characters after conversion into text data. The dictionary data management unit 113 is configured to be able to display an input screen for associating information such as the image of characters included in the image data with the characters to be converted and allowing the user to input. FIG. 5 shows an example of the input screen after the completion of registration.

[0039] In the image display column 501, image data of various numerical values and characters (hiragana, katakana, English letters, etc.) included in the image data of the inspection / measurement results of the inspection / measurement device are displayed. The image data of the numerical values displayed in the image display column 501 is generated by image-processing the image of the inspection / measurement results and cutting out the display part of the numerical values. The cutting out of the display part of the numerical values may be automatically executed by image recognition software (not shown), or the operator may visually recognize the numerical part and execute it manually as appropriate.

[0040] In addition, in the converted character display column 502, the types of characters whose character images arranged horizontally are to be converted are displayed. When registering dictionary data, the operator refers to the character image data displayed in the image display column 501 and inputs the text data of the corresponding characters using an input device such as a keyboard (not shown). In the number display column 503, the sorting number of the data is described. In the acquisition source file display column 504, the file name of the image data as the acquisition source data is described. In the file number display column 505, the file number of the image data is described. As described above, in the information transmission system 1 of the first embodiment, the character image data included in the image displayed as the inspection / measurement result in the inspection / measurement device is registered in advance in the dictionary data management unit 113. Based on this dictionary data, the character data in the image data is converted into text data, and further converted into a two-dimensional code (such as a QR code (registered trademark)). According to this first embodiment, even if there are various display modes of inspection / measurement devices, it is possible to accurately convert the character data of the image into text data without misrecognition or misconversion.

[0041] The dictionary data (dictionary file) registered in the dictionary data management unit 113 may be data common to a plurality of inspection / measurement devices, or may be separate data for each inspection / measurement device or for each area in the display screen of the inspection / measurement result of one inspection / measurement device. FIG. 6 is an example of the correspondence data registered in the dictionary data management unit 113 when different dictionary files are registered for different areas in the display screen. In the example of FIG. 6, the area ID indicating the reading area is associated with the name of the dictionary file created in that reading area and stored. When a certain area is designated as the reading area, the dictionary data management unit 113 can identify the area according to the area ID, refer to the correspondence data, and read and use the corresponding dictionary file.

[0042] Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 7, an example of the procedure for dictionary registration (dictionary registration phase) in the dictionary data management unit 113 will be described. In the dictionary registration phase, first, image data of the display screen of the inspection / measurement results in the inspection / measurement device is acquired, and in the image data, a registration target area to be registered is specified (step S11). Then, the image of the registration target area is analyzed to identify the table structure of the inspection / measurement results included in the registration target area (step S12).

[0043] Thereafter, an image piece estimated to be a character included in the image of the registration target area is extracted as an image of a character candidate (character candidate image) (step S13). As described above, the character candidate image is registered in the dictionary data management unit 113 and is appropriately displayed in the image display column 501.

[0044] When the character candidate images extracted in step S13 are listed and displayed in the image display column 501, the operator visually checks the character candidate images and inputs and registers the text data of the corresponding characters using a keyboard or the like (step S14). When the input of the text data of the corresponding characters is completed and a confirmation operation is performed (step S15), dictionary data is registered according to the input data (step S16). Thus, the registration of the dictionary data is completed.

[0045] Next, referring to the flowchart of FIG. 8, an example of the procedure for transmitting information by the transmission computer 10 will be described. An image showing the inspection / measurement data obtained by the inspection / measurement device is obtained, and a reading area is specified from the image (step S21). As described above, the specification of the reading area may be performed each time a series of reading operations are performed, or previously selected data may be saved and the saved data may be read. On the other hand, the area ID of the specified reading area is identified, and the corresponding dictionary registration data is read (step S22).

[0046] The text data conversion unit 112 extracts the image data of the character candidates included in the reading area, refers to the corresponding dictionary registration data, identifies the text data of the characters corresponding to the image data of the character candidates, and converts it into CSV data (step S23). The converted CSV data is converted into a two-dimensional code by the two-dimensional code conversion unit 114 (step S24) and is displayed on the display unit 106 of the transmission computer 10 (step S25). When the two-dimensional code displayed on the display unit 106 is read by the two-dimensional code reader 30, the information is transmitted to the central management server 40.

[0047] As described above, according to the information transmission system 1 of the first embodiment, the image data indicating the inspection / measurement results of the inspection / measurement device is converted into text data, and further into a two-dimensional code (such as a QR code (registered trademark)), and the information included in the two-dimensional code is transmitted to the central management server 40 by the transmission computer 10 and the two-dimensional code reader 30. At this time, the character candidate information in the image data is stored in advance in the dictionary data management unit 113 in association with the text data, so that accurate conversion is possible. Therefore, according to this first embodiment, even in an inspection / measurement device that does not have a digital data output function or in a situation where it is impossible or difficult to transmit digital data, it is possible to easily and accurately transmit the inspection / measurement data.

[0048] [Second Embodiment] Next, the information transmission system 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11. FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram for explaining the information transmission system 1 of the second embodiment, FIG. 10 is a block diagram for explaining the configuration of the transmission computer 10 of the information transmission system 1 of the second embodiment, and FIG. 11 shows an example of the registration data in the dictionary data management unit 113 of the information transmission system 1 of the second embodiment. For the same configurations as those of the system of the first embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 2 are given, so the overlapping explanations will be omitted below, and only the different points will be explained.

[0049] The information transmission system 1 of this second embodiment is configured such that an operator P of the inspection / measurement device computer 20 can read out various numerical values included in the display screen of the inspection / measurement results of the inspection / measurement device via the microphone 109. The voice signal input to the microphone 109 is transmitted to the transmission computer 10 via the network NW.

[0050] The text data conversion unit 112A of the transmission computer 10 in the second embodiment operates to convert the voice signal input by the microphone 109 into text data. In this conversion, the dictionary data of the dictionary data management unit 113A is used. As shown in FIG. 11, the dictionary data management unit 113A registers by associating the voice waveform data of the voice uttered by the operator P with the converted characters corresponding to this voice. On the display screen of the transmission computer 10, the voice waveform data is displayed in the voice waveform display column 501′, and the text data of the converted characters is displayed in the converted character display column 502′. Similar to the first embodiment, the sorting number of the data is described in the number display column 503′. Also, in the acquisition source file display column 504′, the file name of the voice data as the acquisition source data is described. Further, in the file number display column 505′, the file number of the voice data is described.

[0051] The generation of the dictionary data in the dictionary data management unit 113A can be executed by the operator reading out various characters in the image data of the inspection / measurement results, capturing the voice into the transmission computer 10, and inputting the text data of the characters corresponding to the voice.

[0052] Note that, in addition to faithfully reading out all the characters on the screen, it may be possible to read out some of the various characters in an abbreviated form. In that case, the dictionary data management unit 113 can register data such as the method of such abbreviation. As an example, the following registration is possible. (1) When there is a "plate thickness measurement value" as a data item, register the abbreviated form "plate thickness" in advance, and the operator's utterance can simply be "plate thickness". (2) Regarding a series of numerical values, when the integer parts are all common (for example, 12.01, 12.34, 12.61... etc.) and only the decimal parts are different, register the integer part data (12) in the dictionary data management unit 113 in advance, and the voice generation can omit the integer part and only include the decimal part.

[0053] The text data conversion unit 112A can identify and convert the converted text data corresponding to the voice signal obtained from the microphone 109 with reference to the dictionary data management unit 113A. Therefore, according to this second embodiment, by registering voice data in advance as dictionary data instead of image data, even in an inspection device without a data output function, it is possible to simply and accurately transmit the inspection / measurement data.

[0054] [Third Embodiment] Next, the information transmission system 1 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 12. Since the hardware configuration of the system in the third embodiment is substantially the same as that in the first embodiment, duplicate explanations will be omitted below. However, in this third embodiment, the procedure for two-dimensional code conversion is different, and this point will be mainly described.

[0055] The information transmission system 1 of this third embodiment is different in that the two-dimensional code conversion unit 114 increases the number of two-dimensional codes after conversion according to the data amount of the text data before conversion. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, one CSV file is divided into n two-dimensional codes and converted. At this time, a code identifier IDc for identifying each two-dimensional code is assigned to the n two-dimensional codes, and this code identifier IDc is embedded in the two-dimensional codes. A plurality of two-dimensional codes are collectively displayed on one display unit 106 of the transmission computer 10 and sequentially read by the two-dimensional code reader 30. Since the code identifier is also read together with the actual data of the two-dimensional code, the data can be rearranged according to the code identifier. When all of the plurality of two-dimensional codes are read, the information is sorted according to the code identifier IDc, and the original CSV file is restored. Note that the two-dimensional code reader 30 may be configured to be able to read a plurality of two-dimensional codes at once instead of sequentially reading them one by one. Further, instead of being collectively displayed on one screen, the plurality of two-dimensional codes may be sequentially displayed one by one, for example, and the screen may be switched each time the reading by the two-dimensional code reader 30 is completed.

[0056] [Others] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiments have been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Also, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment, and the configuration of another embodiment can be added to the configuration of one embodiment. Further, for a part of the configuration of each embodiment, addition, deletion, or replacement with other configurations is possible.
