Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a load name label creation system that creates labels to be attached to individual branch devices in a distribution board in order to display the names of loads at the branch destinations. [Background technology]

[0002] The distribution board is fitted with a cover that covers the front of the board, leaving only the branch breaker controls exposed. This cover prevents dust and other contaminants from entering and also gives the board a neat appearance. Furthermore, the distribution board cover is provided with a load name display section, and is configured so that the loads to which each branch breaker branches can be identified by this display section (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] On the other hand, there is a load name label creation system that creates labels to be attached or stuck to the load name display unit provided in this way to display branch destinations. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a system that includes a screen for inputting a load name and a print image output screen that displays the print content of the load name label, and displays the input screen and print image output screen side by side on the screen, making it possible to check the label that will actually be printed.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-28891 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-143144 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, because the above system displays the input screen and the print image output screen side by side, the display area of ​​both is limited. As a result, when all the information required for setting up was displayed at once, the display area for each was small and difficult to see, and the text input area for labels was not large enough, making it difficult to input long names.

[0006] In view of these problems, the present invention aims to provide a load name label creation system that ensures sufficient display area for both the load name input section and the print image display section, while allowing both to be viewed simultaneously. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the load name label creation system of the present invention has an input device for inputting the load name to be printed on a label, a server that accumulates load name information, and an output device that outputs the load name label created by printing it on a label, and is a load name label creation system that creates load name labels corresponding to each of multiple branch devices assembled to a distribution board, and the input device has a print image generation unit that generates a print image of the load name label, a display unit that displays the generated print image, and a display control unit that controls the display of the display unit, and when any label from the print image displayed on the display unit is selected by a predetermined operation, the display control unit pops up an input screen for entering text for the selected label, and makes it possible to input the load name to the label from the input screen by referring to information stored in the server. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, since the load name can be input while visually checking the print image of the load name label, the load name can be input accurately. In addition, since the input screen for the load name is displayed as a pop-up, the input area can be enlarged even when the print image is displayed, and even a long load name spanning multiple lines can be input smoothly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an example of a load name label creation system according to the present invention. The load name label creation system 1 includes an input device 2 for inputting the name of a load at a branch destination onto a label, a server 3 that stores various label information such as the label type and load name, and an output device 4 that outputs a load name label on which the load name is printed. These devices are connected via a public communication network N such as the Internet.

[0011] The input device 2 includes an operation unit 21 equipped with a keyboard for inputting a load name, a touch panel, etc., a monitor (display unit) 22 for displaying the input operation results, a storage unit 23 for temporarily storing the input contents, an input device CPU 24 for controlling the display on the monitor 22 and also for controlling the input device 2, an input device communication unit 25 for communicating with external devices such as the server 3, etc. The input device CPU 24 has functions as a print image generation unit for generating a print image of a load name label, and a display control unit for controlling the display on the monitor 22.

[0012] The input device 2 can be a general-purpose personal computer, which can be used as the input device 2 by installing predetermined software.

[0013] The server 3 includes a load label master database (load label master DB) 31 that stores the type / shape of load name labels, representative load names, image data related to the load names, etc., a load label registration database (load label registration DB) 32 that stores load name labels created by users, and a server communication IF 33 that communicates with external devices such as the input device 2. The load label registration DB 32 can store images such as photo information and pictographic information in addition to load names created or selected by the user, and can store image information input or selected by the user through a predetermined operation by linking it to the load name. These stored data can be written on a label together with the load name through a predetermined operation.

[0014] The server 3 and output device 4 are installed in, for example, a factory that manufactures distribution boards, and the input device 2 is installed in, for example, a housing construction company, and a plurality of input devices 2 are connected to one server 3.

[0015] The load name label creation system 1 configured as above creates a load name label as follows: Fig. 2 is a flow chart showing the flow of creating a load name label, and the description will be made with reference to Fig. 2. First, the print content display operation (S1) is performed by operating the operation unit 21 (not described in detail). This operation displays the print content display screen on the monitor 22, and in response to this display, a form matching the model of the distribution board to be installed is selected. The number of branch circuits (number of branch breakers) is also entered. In this way, a print image of the form with the required number of labels is displayed, and a print image of the label layout that matches the branch breaker layout of the distribution board is displayed. However, since the load name has not been entered at this point, the load name label without the load name is displayed.

[0016] When an arbitrary load name label is selected from the multiple load name labels of the displayed print image (S2), a load input screen for inputting a load name to the selected load name label is popped up on the screen displaying the print image (S3). The load name is input into this popped up screen (S4). The load name label can be selected by touching the monitor 22, or by using a mouse, etc. At this time, the user can refer to the information of the server 3, and may use a registered name or may set a unique load name. Once the load name is entered in this way, a registration process is performed (S6) through a predetermined setting operation (S5), and the name is registered in the load label registration DB 32 of the server 3 (S7). Meanwhile, the input device CPU 24 performs an input content reflection process (S8), and the load name is displayed in the selected load name label of the form displayed on the print content display screen. That is, a print image is displayed (S9).

[0017] 3 and 4 show the print image and load name input screen displayed on the monitor 22. Specifically, Fig. 3 shows the state in which the home screen of the monitor 22 is used as the print content display screen to display the print image M1 of the form, and an image of the load name label L1 that displays the branch destination names of the branch breakers installed in the distribution board is displayed. Here, the print image of the load name label L1 is displayed in which 24 branch breakers are arranged in two rows of 12 each, one above the other.

[0018] Figure 4 shows a state in which a load name input screen M2 for inputting text into a load name label L1 is popped up on the print content display screen of the monitor 22, which displays a print image M1 of the form. Here, the state is shown in which the load name label L1 of the branch breaker assigned number 1 has been selected. The load name input screen M2 displays the load name label L1 of the selected branch breaker, along with a name input section M2a for inputting text. A load name label is created by inputting a load name into this name input section M2a. The operation of selecting the load name label L1 and inputting the load name is performed by displaying a pop-up for each load name label L1, and is performed for each branch circuit (S2 to S9).

[0019] Once the input of the load name is completed, the load name label is issued (S10). A predetermined issue button is touched or pressed, and the load name label created by the output device 4 is output. The output load name label is attached to the load name display unit of the distribution board. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of the entire output load name label, and in this way the label is created and printed according to the arrangement of the branch breakers. The output label is attached to the load name display section of the distribution board.

[0020] The pop-up screen in Figure 4 is displayed by touching the load name label L1 of the branch breaker assigned number 1 in Figure 3. The size of the pop-up screen can be easily changed using a mouse or other device, making it easy to input characters while checking the print image displayed on the home screen. However, if there are many characters to input and the load name spans multiple lines, the pop-up screen (load name input screen M2) can be expanded to fill the entire screen for input.

[0021] In addition, the functions that are displayed and operated on the home screen of the monitor 22 and the functions that are displayed and operated on the pop-up screen are also implemented in other operations. For example, the home screen displays operation screens for changing the layout of load name labels, label copying, print settings, saving, printing, etc. On the other hand, the pop-up screen displays operation screens for branch number input, figure / image input, load name preset, etc. For example, when a preset load name is clicked, a record is added to the load label registration DB, and when it is displayed, it is sorted by the total value. In this way, each operation is possible.

[0022] In this way, the load name can be input to the load name label L1 while visually checking the print image of the load name label L1, so the load name can be input accurately. In addition, since the load name input screen M2 is displayed as a pop-up, the input area can be enlarged even when the print image is displayed, so that even long load names spanning multiple lines can be input smoothly.

[0023] In the above embodiment, the input name is the name "toilet" consisting of one line, but names consisting of multiple lines can also be easily input, and the input name can be simultaneously recognized as an image of the load name label by the print image M1 on the print content display screen.
