Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a safety confirmation support system, a safety confirmation support method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, at theme parks and other attractions, safety checks of seats and other equipment are carried out before the ride starts. Because safety checks are carried out visually by staff, there is a risk of oversight.

[0003] Various technologies for acquiring information about a target seat have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses a technology in which, when an occupant of a target seat reads an IC tag attached to the seat with a reader, the personal information of the occupant is displayed on a terminal of an administrator based on the identification information read from the IC tag. This technology makes it possible to grasp the occupancy status of each seat in real time. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0013] <1. Safety confirmation support system configuration> The configuration of a safety confirmation support system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a safety confirmation support system according to this embodiment.

[0014] The safety confirmation support system 1000 shown in FIG. 1 is a system that supports safety confirmation performed by staff (checkers) before the start of an attraction. In this safety confirmation, the staff (checkers) check the status of check objects to ensure the safe operation of the attraction. Check objects include, for example, the seats, entrances, and exits of the attraction. For seats, the fastening status of seat belts is checked. For entrances and exits, the locking status is checked.

[0015] FIG. 1 shows a rotating attraction AT as an example of an attraction. As shown in FIG. 1, the attraction AT has seats SE, an entrance EN, and an exit EX. The seats SE include seats SE-1 to SE-6, and each seat is divided into a right (R) and a left (L) side. That is, the attraction AT has a total of 12 seats SE, including six seats SE-1R to SE-6R on the right side and six seats SE-1L to SE-6L on the left side. 1, the objects to be checked are 12 seats SE, an entrance EN, and an exit EX. The safety check of these objects is carried out by, for example, staff US-1 and staff US-2.

[0016] In addition, a control room CR is adjacent to the attraction AT. A start button SB for starting the attraction AT is provided in the control room CR. When the start button SB is pressed, the attraction AT operates under the control of a control device (not shown) provided in the control room CR. In the example shown in FIG. 1, for example, when staff members US-1 and US-2 have performed safety checks on all check targets, staff member US-3 presses the start button SB to start the attraction AT.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the safety confirmation support system 1000 includes an RFID tag 10, a reader 20, a safety confirmation support device 30, and a cover device 40.

[0018] (1) 10 RFID tags The RFID tag 10 is an IC (Integrated Circuit) tag that can be read by RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). The IC tag is a tag that includes an IC chip that can store and read data using radio waves, and an antenna for wireless communication. An RFID tag 10 is provided for each target to be checked for safety confirmation.

[0019] 1, RFID tags 10 are attached to 12 seats SE, entrance EN, and exit EX, which are the objects of inspection. The RFID tags 10 store identification information for identifying the objects of inspection to which the RFID tags 10 are attached. The identification information is, for example, an ID unique to the objects of inspection to which the RFID tags 10 are attached.

[0020] (2) Leader 20 The reader 20 is a reading device capable of reading data from the RFID tag 10. The reader 20 is communicably connected to the safety confirmation support device 30 via wireless communication. For example, the reader 20 is operated by a staff member to read the identification information stored in the RFID tag 10 as read information. The reader 20 transmits the identification information (read information) read from the RFID tag 10 to the safety confirmation support device 30 via wireless communication, for example, via Bluetooth (registered trademark).

[0021] In the example shown in FIG. 1, a wristwatch-type wearable device is used as the reader 20. Staff member US-1 uses reader 20-1 to read identification information from an RFID tag 10 attached to an object for which a safety check has been performed. Staff member US-2 uses reader 20-2 to read identification information from an RFID tag 10 attached to an object for which a safety check has been performed. Readers 20-1 and 20-2 transmit the read identification information to the safety confirmation support device 30 as read information.

[0022] (3) Safety confirmation support device 30 The safety confirmation support device 30 is a device for supporting the safety confirmation performed by staff (checkers) before the start of an attraction. The safety confirmation support device 30 is realized by, for example, a PC (Personal Computer), but may also be realized by a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, a server device, or the like.

[0023] The safety confirmation support device 30 is connected to the reader 20 via wireless communication so as to be able to communicate with the reader 20. In communication with the reader 20, the safety confirmation support device 30 receives read information. Furthermore, the safety confirmation support device 30 is communicably connected to the cover device 40 via wired or wireless communication. In communication with the cover device 40, the safety confirmation support device 30 transmits an unlock signal and receives a lock signal. The unlock signal is a signal indicating that the cover device 40 is to be unlocked. The lock signal is a signal indicating that the cover device 40 is locked.

[0024] (4) Cover device 40 The cover device 40 is a device provided on the start button SB of the attraction AT. The cover device 40 is a device that combines a cover portion and a locking mechanism. The cover is provided so as to be openable and closable and to cover part or all of the start button SB. The cover is provided so that the start button SB can be pressed when opened, and so that the start button SB cannot be pressed when closed. The locking mechanism is a mechanism for locking the movement of the cover part. The locking mechanism locks the cover part when it is closed, preventing it from being opened. Therefore, when the cover part is locked by the locking mechanism, staff member US-3 cannot press the start button SB. On the other hand, when the cover part is unlocked by the locking mechanism, staff member US-3 can open the cover part and press the start button SB.

[0025] The cover device 40 is communicably connected to the safety confirmation support device 30 via wired or wireless communication. In communication with the safety confirmation support device 30, the cover device 40 receives an unlock signal and transmits a lock signal. When the cover device 40 receives the unlock signal from the safety confirmation support device 30, it operates the locking mechanism to unlock the cover unit. When the cover unit is closed by staff US-3, the cover device 40 operates the locking mechanism to lock the cover unit and transmits a lock signal to the safety confirmation support device 30.

[0026] <2. Functional configuration of the safety confirmation support device> The configuration of the safety confirmation support system 1000 according to this embodiment has been described above. Next, the functional configuration of the safety confirmation support device 30 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 6. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the safety confirmation support device 30 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the safety confirmation support device 30 includes a communication unit 310, an input unit 320, a storage unit 330, a control unit 340, and an output unit 350.

[0027] (1) Communications unit 310 The communication unit 310 has a function of transmitting and receiving various information. The communication unit 310 is connected to the reader 20 via wireless communication so that the communication unit 310 can communicate with the reader 20. In communication with the reader 20, the communication unit 310 receives read information. Furthermore, the communication unit 310 is communicably connected to the cover device 40 by wired communication or wireless communication. In communication with the cover device 40, the communication unit 310 transmits an unlock signal and receives a lock signal.

[0028] (2) Input unit 320 The input unit 320 has a function of receiving input. The input unit 320 is configured by, for example, an input device that the safety confirmation support device 30 includes as hardware, such as a button, a touch panel, a microphone, a mouse, or a keyboard.

[0029] (3) Storage section 330 The storage unit 330 has a function of storing various types of information. The storage unit 330 is configured by a storage medium provided as hardware in the safety confirmation support device 30, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a random access read / write memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), or any combination of these storage media.

[0030] (4) Control unit 340 The control unit 340 has a function of controlling the overall operation of the safety confirmation support device 30. The control unit 340 is realized, for example, by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) provided as hardware in the safety confirmation support device 30 to execute a program. As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 340 includes a screen processing unit 341, a read information acquisition unit 342, an object management unit 343, a log management unit 344, and a lock control unit 345.

[0031] (4-1) Screen processing unit 341 The screen processing unit 341 has a function of performing processing related to the display of various screens. For example, the screen processing unit 341 displays a safety confirmation screen, a manual management screen, etc. on the output unit 350. The safety confirmation screen is a screen that shows the implementation status of safety confirmation by staff. The manual management screen is a screen that allows staff to manually register the status of the confirmation target.

[0032] Here, the safety confirmation screen according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an initial screen display of the safety confirmation screen according to this embodiment. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a screen update of the safety confirmation screen according to this embodiment.

[0033] The screen processing unit 341 displays the initial screen of the safety confirmation screen on the output unit 350. For example, the screen processing unit 341 displays screen G1 shown in Fig. 3 as the initial screen of the safety confirmation screen on the output unit 350. Screen G1 shown in Fig. 3 shows, as an example, the status of safety confirmation by staff at the attraction AT shown in Fig. 1. Areas R1 to R14 on screen G1 show the implementation status of safety checks for each check target. For example, areas R1, R3, R5, R7, R9, and R11 show the implementation status of safety checks for seats SE-1L to SE-6L, respectively. Areas R2, R4, R6, R8, R10, and R12 show the implementation status of safety checks for seats SE-1R to SE-6R, respectively. Area R13 shows the implementation status of safety checks for entrance EN. Area R14 shows the implementation status of safety checks for exit EX. Area R21 of screen G1 shows the readers 20 that are communicably connected to the safety confirmation support device 30 and their remaining charge levels. In the example shown in Fig. 3, reader 20-1 (reader 1) and reader 20-2 (reader 2) are connected, and it is shown that each reader has a remaining charge level of 100%. Area R22 of screen G1 shows the number of check targets for which safety checks have been completed. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the number of check targets is 14 in total, including the 12 seats SE, the entrance EN, and the exit EX. Screen G1 shown in FIG. 3 is the initial screen. Therefore, area R22 of screen G1 shows the number of check targets for which safety checks have been completed in attraction AT (attraction 1) as "0 / 14." A guide message is displayed in area R23 of screen G1. Screen G1 shown in FIG. 3 is the initial screen. Therefore, area R23 of screen G1 displays the message "Tap the start button to start reading." This start button is start button B1 displayed on screen G1. The lock mark KM on the screen G1 indicates the locked state of the cover device 40. When the lock mark is closed as shown in Fig. 3, this indicates that the cover device 40 is locked. When the cover device 40 is unlocked, the lock mark KM changes to an open state.

[0034] When the read information is acquired by the read information acquisition unit 342 (described later), the screen processing unit 341 updates the display of the check target whose RFID tag 10 has been read, among the displays for each check target displayed on the safety confirmation screen, to a display indicating that a safety check has been carried out by a staff member. For example, assume that staff member US-1 reads the RFID tag 10 attached to seat SE-1L using reader 20-1. In this case, the screen processing unit 341 updates the display by changing the color of area R1 indicating the implementation status of the safety check for seat SE-1L, as shown on screen G1 in FIG. 4. Furthermore, the screen processing unit 341 updates the number of check targets for which safety checks have been completed in attraction AT (attraction 1) to "1 / 14," as shown on area R22 of screen G1 in FIG. 4. This allows staff to easily understand the status of safety checks and prevents oversight of safety checks.

[0035] Note that the guide message in area R23 of screen G1 shown in Fig. 4 is updated to "Reading" when start button B1 on screen G1 shown in Fig. 3 is pressed. Also, on screen G1 shown in Fig. 4, when start button B1 on screen G1 shown in Fig. 3 is pressed, start button B1 is changed to clear button B2. By pressing clear button B2, the staff member can initialize the display of the safety confirmation screen.

[0036] In the case of a rotation-type attraction, when read information is acquired by the read information acquisition unit 342 (described later), the screen processing unit 341 may rotate the entire display of the confirmation target on the safety confirmation screen and change the display position of the confirmation target whose RFID tag 10 has been read to a predetermined position. For example, assume that staff member US-1 uses reader 20-1 to read the RFID tag 10 attached to seat SE-1L. In this case, as shown on screen G1 in FIG. 4, the screen processing unit 341 rotates the entire portion of the seat regions R1 to R14 among the confirmation target regions R1 to R14, and moves the position of region R1, which indicates the implementation status of the safety confirmation for seat SE-1L, to a position (predetermined position) at the bottom of the screen. For example, the predetermined position may be set to a position closest to the control room CR. This allows staff to easily identify the seat SE from which the RFID tag 10 has been read, even if the actual stop position differs from the displayed position on the screen, such as in a rotating attraction where the position of the seat SE when the operation stops is different from that before it started.

[0037] When the cover device 40 is locked, the screen processing unit 341 initializes the display of the safety confirmation screen. For example, when the communication unit 310 receives a lock signal from the cover device 40, the screen processing unit 341 initializes the display of the safety confirmation screen displayed on the output unit 350 and causes the output unit 350 to display the initial screen. This means that the next time the staff member starts the attraction automatic transmission, they will have to carry out a safety check for all check targets from scratch. This prevents the staff member from overlooking a safety check, even when operating the attraction automatic transmission repeatedly.

[0038] Here, the manual management screen according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the manual management screen according to this embodiment.

[0039] When a staff member selects (tap) an area to be checked displayed on the safety confirmation screen, the screen processing unit 341 displays a manual management screen for the selected area to be checked on the output unit 350. Screen G2 shown in Fig. 5 shows, as an example, the manual management screen when seat SE-6L in area R11 is selected on screen G1 of the safety confirmation screen shown in Figs. Screen G2 displays radio buttons RB1 to RB3 that indicate the status of the confirmation target that can be manually registered. Radio button RB1 is a button for changing the status to "unconfirmed." Radio button RB2 is a button for changing the status to "confirmed." Radio button RB3 is a button for changing the status to "unusable." The staff member can manually register the status of the object to be checked by selecting one of the radio buttons RB1 to RB3 and pressing the register button B3. If the staff member presses the cancel button B4, they can return to the safety confirmation screen without registering the status of the object to be checked.

[0040] The screen processing unit 341 updates the display of the confirmation target on the safety confirmation screen according to the status registered on the manual management screen. For example, assume that staff member US-3 manually registers "Confirmed" as the status of seat SE-6L on the manual management screen. In this case, the screen processing unit 341 updates the display by changing the color of area R11 on the safety confirmation screen that indicates the implementation status of the safety confirmation for seat SE-6L.

[0041] (4-2) Read information acquisition unit 342 The read information acquisition unit 342 has a function of acquiring read information. The read information is read by the reader 20 from the RFID tag 10 that is the target of safety confirmation performed by staff before the start of the attraction AT, and is transmitted to the safety confirmation support device 30. The read information acquisition unit 342 acquires the read information that the communication unit 310 receives from the reader 20.

[0042] (4-3) Target Management Department 343 The target management unit 343 has a function of managing confirmation targets. For example, the target management unit 343 identifies confirmation targets and updates the status of the confirmation targets.

[0043] In identifying the confirmation target, the target management unit 343 identifies the confirmation target for which the RFID tag 10 was read, based on the read information acquired by the read information acquisition unit 342. The read information is identification information for identifying the confirmation target. Therefore, the target management unit 343 can identify the confirmation target for which the RFID tag 10 was read, based on the identification information indicated by the read information.

[0044] When updating the status of a confirmation target, the target management unit 343 updates the status of the confirmation target identified based on the read information to "confirmed." Also, when a staff member registers a status on the manual management screen, the target management unit 343 obtains the status selected on the manual management screen and updates the status of the selected confirmation target.

[0045] (4-4) Log management unit 344 The log management unit 344 has a function of managing logs related to safety confirmation. For example, the log management unit 344 records logs related to operations performed by staff members for safety confirmation. The log management unit 344 outputs the recorded logs to the output unit 350 in accordance with the operations of the staff members. When outputting, the log management unit 344 outputs logs in a manner that allows distinction between a log indicating that the RFID tag 10 has been read by the reader 20 by the staff member and a log indicating that the status of the confirmation target has been manually updated by the staff member. This allows staff to easily check from the log whether or not a safety check has been performed improperly. For example, if a log indicating that the status has been manually updated is continuously output on the manual management screen, it can be suspected that a staff member has manually updated the status improperly without performing a safety check.

[0046] Here, the log output according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the log output according to this embodiment.

[0047] Area R31 of the log output LG shown in FIG. 6 outputs a log indicating that a staff member has manually updated the status of a confirmation target. For example, at "2024 / 3 / 18 09:08:54," a log "1L, click" is displayed. This indicates that on the safety confirmation screen, a staff member selected seat SE-1L as the target for a manual status update. At "2024 / 3 / 18 09:08:58," a log "1L, mark as confirmed" is displayed. This indicates that on the manual management screen, a staff member selected radio button RB2 to change the status of seat SE-1L to "confirmed" and pressed the register button B3.

[0048] In area R32 of the log output LG shown in FIG. 6, a log indicating that the RFID tag 10 was read by the reader 20 by a staff member is output. For example, at "2024 / 3 / 18 09:09:32," a log "TagRead,Reader=2,TagID=005506" is shown. This indicates that the RFID tag 10 with "TagID=005506" was read by the reader 20-2. Also, at the same time, a log "3R, Read, ReaderNo=2" is shown. This indicates that the RFID tag 10 with "TagID=005506" read by the reader 20-2 was attached to seat SE-3R.

[0049] (4-5) Lock control unit 345 The lock control unit 345 has a function of controlling the locking of the cover device 40. When the RFID tags 10 have been read for all the check targets, the lock control unit 345 unlocks the cover device 40 provided on the start button SB of the attraction AT. For example, when the display of all the check targets displayed on the safety confirmation screen is updated to a display indicating that the checker has performed a safety check, the lock control unit 345 determines that the RFID tags 10 have been read for all the check targets and unlocks the cover device. To unlock the cover device, the lock control unit 345 transmits an unlock signal from the communication unit 310 to the cover device 40. In addition, the lock control unit 345 can also determine that the RFID tags 10 have been read for all confirmation targets based on the status of all confirmation targets displayed on the safety confirmation screen being updated.

[0050] (5) Output unit 350 The output unit 350 has a function of outputting various information. The output unit 350 is configured by, for example, an output device provided as hardware in the safety confirmation support device 30, such as a display device or a touch screen (touch panel), or an audio output device such as a speaker. The output unit 350 displays screens such as a safety confirmation screen and a manual management screen under the control of the screen processing unit 341. The output unit 350 also displays logs under the control of the log management unit 344.

[0051] <3. Processing flow> The functional configuration of the safety confirmation support device 30 according to this embodiment has been described above. Next, the processing flow in the safety confirmation support system 1000 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the processing flow in the safety confirmation support system 1000 according to this embodiment.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 7, first, the screen processing unit 341 of the safety confirmation support device 30 displays an initial screen of the safety confirmation screen on the output unit 350 (step S101). When the staff member presses the start button on the safety confirmation screen, the read information acquisition unit 342 of the safety confirmation support device 30 starts accepting read information read from the RFID tag 10 by the reader 20 (step S102).

[0053] In response to an operation by the staff member, the reader 20 reads the identification information from the RFID tag 10 attached to the check target for which the staff member has performed safety check (step S103). The reader 20 transmits the identification information read from the RFID tag 10 as read information to the safety confirmation support device 30 (step S104).

[0054] The read information acquisition unit 342 of the safety confirmation support device 30 acquires the read information received by the communication unit 310 from the reader 20 (step S105). The target management unit 343 of the safety confirmation support device 30 identifies the confirmation target whose RFID tag 10 has been read based on the read information acquired by the read information acquisition unit 342, and updates the status of the identified confirmation target (step S106). The screen processing unit 341 of the safety confirmation support device 30 changes the display on the safety confirmation screen of the confirmation target whose status has been updated, and updates the safety confirmation screen (step S107). The log management unit 344 of the safety confirmation support device 30 outputs the log (step S108).

[0055] The lock control unit 345 of the safety confirmation support device 30 checks whether reading of the RFID tags 10 for all confirmation targets has been completed (step S109). If reading has been completed (step S109 / YES), the process proceeds to step S110. On the other hand, if reading has not been completed (step S109 / NO), the process repeats from step S105.

[0056] When the process proceeds to step S110, the lock control unit 345 transmits an unlock signal from the communication unit 310 to the cover device 40 (step S111). When the cover device 40 receives the unlock signal from the safety confirmation support device 30, it operates the locking mechanism to unlock the cover portion (step S112).

[0057] The lock control unit 345 checks whether the cover unit has been relocked after being unlocked (step S112). If the cover unit has been relocked (step S112 / YES), the process proceeds to step S113. On the other hand, if the cover unit has not been relocked (step S112 / NO), the process repeats step S112.

[0058] When the process proceeds to step S113, the cover device 40 transmits a lock signal to the safety confirmation support device 30 (step S113). When the communication unit 310 receives the lock signal from the cover device 40, the screen processing unit 341 of the safety confirmation support device 30 initializes the display of the safety confirmation screen displayed on the output unit 350 (step S114).

[0059] The processing flow according to this embodiment has been described above. As described above, the safety confirmation support system 1000 of this embodiment is equipped with a read information acquisition unit 342 that acquires read information read by the reader 20 from the RFID tag 10 of a confirmation target for which a safety check has been performed by a staff member (checker) before the start of the attraction, in an attraction where an RFID tag 10 (IC tag) is provided for each confirmation target, a target management unit 343 that identifies the confirmation target for which the RFID tag 10 has been read based on the acquired read information, and a lock control unit 345 that unlocks the cover device 40 provided on the start button of the attraction when the RFID tag 10 has been read for all confirmation targets.

[0060] With this configuration, if the staff member has not completed safety checks for all check targets, the staff member cannot open the cover device attached to the start button of the attraction and cannot press the start button. On the other hand, if the staff member has completed safety checks for all check targets, the staff member can open the cover device attached to the start button of the attraction and press the start button. As a result, if the staff member has missed a safety check or failed to check the information indicated by the safety check status displayed on the terminal, the staff member cannot press the start button of the attraction, and therefore the attraction cannot be started if a safety check before the start of the attraction has been overlooked. Therefore, the safety confirmation support system 1000 according to this embodiment makes it possible to prevent oversight of safety confirmation before the start of an attraction.

[0061] <4. Modifications> The above describes the embodiments. Next, modifications of the above-described embodiments will be described. Note that each modification described below may be applied to the embodiments alone or in combination with each other. Furthermore, each modification may be applied in place of the configuration described in the embodiments, or may be applied in addition to the configuration described in the embodiments.

[0062] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the attraction AT is a rotating attraction, but the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, the attraction AT may be a non-rotating attraction (such as a roller coaster). Note that if the position of the seat SE when the attraction stops after it starts is the same as before it started (i.e., the seat position is fixed), the screen processing unit 341 does not need to perform a process of rotating the entire display of the confirmation target on the safety confirmation screen when the RFID tag 10 is read.

[0063] In the above-described embodiment, the reader 20 is a wristwatch-type wearable device, but the reader 20 is not limited to this example. For example, the reader 20 may be another type of wearable device, a smartphone, a handheld scanner, or the like.

[0064] In the above-described embodiment, the screen processor 341 updates the display by changing the color of the area of ​​the safety confirmation screen corresponding to the confirmation target read from the RFID tag 10, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the screen processor 341 may update the display by displaying the time when the RFID tag 10 was read in the area corresponding to the safety confirmation screen.

[0065] In the above-described embodiment, a sound may be output to indicate that the RFID tag 10 has been read by the reader 20.

[0066] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the identification information stored in the RFID tag 10 is an ID unique to the confirmation target, but the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, the RFID tag 10 may store an ID unique to the RFID tag 10 as identification information. In this case, the ID unique to the RFID tag 10 is read from the RFID tag 10 as read information. The target management unit 343 of the safety confirmation support device 30 can identify the confirmation target from which the RFID tag 10 has been read, based on the read information, by using information indicating the correspondence between the ID unique to the RFID tag 10 and the ID unique to the confirmation target to which the RFID tag 10 is attached.

[0067] The above describes modified examples of the embodiment of the present invention. Note that some or all of the functions of the safety confirmation support system 1000 and the safety confirmation support device 30 in the above-described embodiment may be implemented by a computer. In this case, a program for implementing the functions may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium may be read into and executed by a computer system. Note that the term "computer system" here includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Additionally, "computer-readable recording media" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, optical magnetic disks, ROMs, CD-ROMs, etc., and storage devices such as hard disks built into computer systems. Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" may also include devices that dynamically store programs for a short period of time, such as communication lines when transmitting programs via networks such as the Internet or communication lines such as telephone lines, and devices that store programs for a certain period of time, such as volatile memory within computer systems that serve as servers or clients in such cases. Furthermore, the above program may be one that realizes part of the above-mentioned functions, or may be one that can realize the above-mentioned functions in combination with a program already recorded in a computer system, or may be one that is realized using a programmable logic device such as an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

[0068] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, but the specific configuration is not limited to that described above, and various design changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.
