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] Conventionally, a system for creating load name labels to be attached to distribution boards has been known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a configuration in which a distribution board selection subsystem allows a user to select a model number that matches desired data and input and display a load name, and a load name input subsystem allows a user to input a load name, and both subsystems can call up load name data stored in the other's load name data storage unit. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-143143 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the conventional load name input system described above has the problem that it is time-consuming because the user must select specifications and create load name data based on the information of the distribution board that he or she ordered. Also, when retrieving past data, the user must select the load name data himself or herself, which poses a risk of selecting the wrong load name data.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a load name label creation system that automatically displays a load name label based on the project information of an ordered distribution board. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is a load name label creation system having an input device for performing various operations and inputs, a server in which information on load name labels is saved, and a control unit for performing various calculations and controls, wherein the server has a project information database in which project information on ordered distribution boards is stored, and a load label master database in which information on load name labels is stored, the input device has a display unit that displays at least one piece of project information stored in the project information database, and when any one piece of project information is selected from the project information displayed on the display unit, the control unit refers to the load label master database and displays a load name label corresponding to the selected project information on the display unit. Furthermore, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 1, the project information includes the model of the distribution board for which an order has been received, and the load label master database comprises a first load label sub-database in which templates of load name labels created in advance to match the model of the expected distribution board are stored, and a second load label sub-database in which past data of load name labels corresponding to individual project information is saved, and when any one of the multiple project information displayed on the display unit is selected, the control unit refers to the second load label sub-database to check whether or not there is past data corresponding to the selected project information, and if there is past data corresponding to the selected project information, displays the relevant past data on the display unit, and if there is no past data corresponding to the selected project information, refers to the first load label sub-database and displays on the display unit a template corresponding to the model of the distribution board of the selected project information. Furthermore, the invention as set forth in claim 3 is characterized in that in the inventions as set forth in claims 1 and 2, the load name label is displayed on the display unit so as to be editable by the input device. Furthermore, the invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that, in the invention described in claim 3, the load name label is associated with the selected case information and stored as past data in the second load label sub-database. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, when any one piece of project information is selected, the control unit refers to the load label master database and causes the display unit to display the load name label corresponding to the project information. When referring to the load label master database, if there is past data for the load name label corresponding to the selected project information, the past data is displayed, and if there is no past data for the load name label corresponding to the selected project information, a load name label template corresponding to the model of the distribution board included in the project information is displayed. Therefore, by selecting the project information, the corresponding load name label is automatically displayed, eliminating the need to select the load name label format, reducing the time and effort required and preventing mistakes. Also, it becomes possible to smoothly create and save load name labels tailored to the project. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a configuration diagram showing an example of a load name label creation system according to the present invention. [Figure 2] 10 is a flowchart showing a flow of retrieving a load name label from case information. [Figure 3] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a screen in which case information is displayed on a display unit. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an example of a load name label creation system 1 according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing the flow of calling up a load name label from project information 40. Fig. 3 is a screen diagram showing project information 40 displayed on a display unit.

[0010] As shown in Fig. 1, the load name label creation system 1 comprises an input device 2 through which a user inputs and performs various operations, a server 3 that stores project information and load name label information, a control unit 4 that performs various controls and calculations, and an output device 5 that outputs load name labels with the load names printed on them. 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, a touch panel, a mouse, etc. for performing various operations and inputs, a display unit 22 such as a monitor for displaying the results of input operations, a storage unit 23 for temporarily storing the input contents, an input device CPU 24 for controlling the display on the display unit 22 and also for controlling the input device 2, and an input device communication unit 25 for communicating with external devices such as the server 3. The input device CPU 24 is used as the control unit 4 in this embodiment, and controls not only the input device 2 but also the entire load name label creation system 1 and performs calculations. Note that a general-purpose personal computer can be used as the input device 2, and by installing predetermined software, it can be used as the input device 2. Also, possible users who operate the input device 2 include, for example, an employee of the ordering company that placed the distribution board, or an employee of the supplier that received the order for the distribution board.

[0012] The server 3 includes a case information database (case information DB) 31, a load label master database (load label master DB) 34 including a first load label sub-database (first load label sub-DB) 32 and a second load label sub-database (second load label sub-DB) 33, a linking table 35, and a server communication IF 36 for communicating with external devices such as an input device 2.

[0013] The project information DB 31 is a database in which multiple pieces of project information 40 are recorded and accumulated, including information such as the model of the distribution board for the ordered project, the order source, and an individually assigned project management number. The project information 40 is input by the user via the input device 2. The project management number may be assigned automatically when the project information 40 is input in accordance with a predetermined rule regarding the order source, date, etc., or may be arbitrarily determined.

[0014] The first load label sub-DB32 records the type / shape of the load name label, representative load names, image data related to the load names, etc., and also stores multiple pre-created load name label templates corresponding to the expected type of distribution board.

[0015] The second load label sub-DB 33 is a database in which multiple pieces of past data of load name labels created by the user are stored, and each piece of past data is assigned a label storage number for management. The label storage number may be assigned automatically when past data is stored, or may be arbitrarily determined.

[0016] The linking table 35 is a table in which a case management number and a label storage number are linked. In the load name label creation system 1, when a load name label created by referring to any one of the case information 40 is saved as past data according to the procedure described later, the case management number of the case information 40 and the label storage number of the past data are linked and recorded in the linking table 35.

[0017] The server 3 and the output device 5 are installed, for example, in a factory that manufactures distribution boards, and the input device 2 is installed, for example, in a house construction company. A plurality of input devices 2 are connected to one server 3.

[0018] The operation of the load name label creation system 1 will be described below with reference to FIG. The operation unit 21 is operated to perform a case information display operation (S100). This operation causes case information 40, 40... stored in the case information DB 31 to be displayed, as shown in Fig. 3. At this time, a selection button 41 for calling up a load name label corresponding to each case information 40 is displayed together with the case information 40.

[0019] When any one of the selection buttons 41 is operated (S101), the control unit 4 refers to the linking table 35 to check whether the case management number of the case information 40 corresponding to the operated selection button 41 is saved (S102).

[0020] If the corresponding case management number is found in the linking table 35, the control unit 4 acquires the label storage number corresponding to the case management number (S103). Then, the control unit 4 refers to the second load label sub-DB 33 and causes the display unit 22 to display past data of the load name label corresponding to the label storage number (S104).

[0021] If there is no corresponding case management number in the linking table 35, the control unit 4 accesses the first load label sub-DB 32 and displays a load name label template corresponding to the model of the ordered distribution board in the case information 40 corresponding to the selected selection button 41 (S105).

[0022] In this way, the load name label creation system 1 selects a load name label corresponding to the project information 40 and displays it on the display unit 22. At this time, the load name label is displayed so that it can be edited by inputting a load name using the input device 2, for example. After inputting the displayed load name label is completed, a predetermined save operation is performed, whereby the load name label is saved in the second load label sub-DB 33 as past data.

[0023] At this time, if the displayed load name label is past data referenced from the second load label sub-DB 33, the existing past data is overwritten and saved. Also, if the displayed load name label is a template referenced from the first load label sub-DB 32, a new label storage number is assigned, and the new label storage number is linked to the corresponding case management number and saved in the linking table 35.

[0024] After input into the displayed load name label is completed, a predetermined issuing operation for issuing the load name label is performed, and the created load name label is output by the output device 4. Then, the output load name label is attached to the load name display unit of the distribution board.

[0025] According to the load name label creation system 1 described above, when any one piece of project information 40 is selected by operating the selection button 41, the control unit 4 refers to the load label master DB 34 and displays the load name label corresponding to the project information 40 on the display unit 22. Furthermore, when referring to the load label master DB 34, if there is past data for the load name label corresponding to the selected project information 40, the past data is displayed, and if there is no past data for the load name label corresponding to the selected project information 40, a template of the load name label corresponding to the model of the distribution board included in the project information 40 is displayed.

[0026] Therefore, since the corresponding load name label is automatically displayed from the case information 40, there is no need to select the format of the load name label, which reduces the time and effort required and prevents mistakes. Also, it becomes possible to smoothly create and save load name labels that are suited to the case.

[0027] The load name label creation system of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the overall configuration of the load name label creation system as well as the configuration of the input device, server, etc. can be appropriately changed as needed.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the system is configured as one system, but a configuration in which a subsystem is constructed for each of various operations may also be used. For example, a system may be configured in which a project information management subsystem that manages project information, a load label creation subsystem that manages and creates load label information, and a selection subsystem that selects a load label to display from the project information are separately provided, and when project information is selected in the project information management subsystem, the system transitions to the load label creation subsystem and the load name label selected by the selection subsystem is displayed. In this embodiment, the input device CPU 24 of the input device 2 is the control unit 4, but a separate CPU that performs part or all of the control and calculations of the control unit 4 may be provided in the server 3 or the like.
