Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing device, a design support method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] Water treatment systems, such as various wastewater treatment systems, water treatment systems for producing tap water or industrial water, and pure water production systems for producing pure water, rarely consist of a single water treatment device. For example, a typical pure water or ultrapure water production system is composed of a combination of various water treatment devices, such as a filtration device, a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane device, and an ion exchange device. Each of these water treatment devices operates to ultimately obtain the desired water quality. Designing such a water treatment system requires knowledge of the various water treatment devices (unit devices) and the physical properties and quality of water, which requires a great deal of time and effort. A design system has been proposed that provides a database storing design information created by multiple design support systems that support plant design work, and has the function of importing design information created by other design support systems and stored in the database (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4288639 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] With the expansion and diversification of business operations in recent years, it has become necessary to add attributes to each water treatment device and to add data processing for cases where the added attributes apply. In this case, it is necessary to modify the structure of the database storing the design information and the design support tool, and a series of tasks, including checking to verify whether the modified system operates without problems, requires time and effort. In the design system described in Patent Document 1, multiple design support systems import design information stored in the database into each other, so the necessary design information must be stored in the database before the design stage begins. However, it is difficult to predict what attributes will be added before the design stage begins, and it is not easy to build a database that takes new attribute additions into account. This poses a problem: it is difficult to efficiently register information related to each water treatment device that constitutes a water treatment system.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing system, an information processing device, a design support method, and a program that can efficiently register information related to each of the water treatment devices that make up a water treatment system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] Further, the information processing device of the present invention comprises: a writing unit that writes the apparatus-related information into a database that stores apparatus identification information assigned to each of a plurality of water treatment devices constituting the water treatment system and apparatus-related information that is information about the plurality of water treatment devices in association with each other; an input unit for inputting information based on an operation received from the outside; a search unit that searches the database for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies a condition according to the information input by the input unit; a display unit that displays an image showing the water treatment device to which the device identification information searched by the search unit is assigned, the display unit displays a message prompting the user to input device-related information about the water treatment device shown in the displayed image into the input unit; The writing unit writes the device-related information input by the input unit into the database.

[0008] Further, the design support method of the present invention comprises: a process of writing the apparatus-related information into a database that stores apparatus identification information assigned to each of a plurality of water treatment devices constituting the water treatment system and apparatus-related information that is information about the plurality of water treatment devices in association with each other; A process of searching the database for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies conditions according to the input information; a process of displaying an image showing the water treatment device to which the searched device identification information is assigned on a display; a process of displaying on the display a message prompting the user to input device-related information about the water treatment device shown in the image displayed on the display; The device-related information input in response to the prompt for input is written to the database.

[0009] The program of the present invention also includes: On the computer, a step of writing the apparatus-related information into a database that stores apparatus identification information assigned to each of a plurality of water treatment devices constituting the water treatment system and apparatus-related information that is information about the plurality of water treatment devices in association with each other; a step of searching the database for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies a condition according to the input information; a step of displaying on a display an image showing the water treatment device to which the searched device identification information is assigned; a step of displaying on the display a message prompting the user to input device-related information about the water treatment device shown in the image displayed on the display; and a procedure for writing the device-related information entered in response to the prompt to the database.

[0012] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The information processing system of the present invention is a system for supporting the design of a water treatment system. FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of a water treatment system whose design is supported by the information processing system of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the water treatment system whose design is supported by the information processing system of the present invention may be, for example, a water treatment system in which a pretreatment device 1, a primary pure water production device 2, and a subsystem (secondary pure water production device) 3 are connected in series in this order in the direction of flow of the water to be treated (e.g., industrial water). The pretreatment device 1 includes a raw water tank, a filter, a filtered water tank, etc. The primary pure water production device 2 includes water treatment devices such as a cation exchange resin tower, a decarbonation tower, an anion exchange resin tower, a pure water tank, a degassing membrane, and a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane device. The subsystem 3 includes a sub-tank, a non-regenerative ion exchange resin (CP) device, an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane device, a UV oxidation device, etc. This water treatment system can produce three types of treated water: filtered water, pure water, and ultrapure water. Users can use these treated waters depending on their intended use. For example, filtered water may be used in cooling towers as cooling tower water. In cooling towers, the cooling water is cooled using the latent heat of vaporization, which reduces the amount of water due to evaporation. Furthermore, as water evaporates, problems arise such as the ions contained in the water concentrating and precipitating. Therefore, a certain amount of water containing the ions must be discharged outside the water treatment system, which reduces the amount of water. Filtered water is used to replenish this loss of water volume. Furthermore, pure water and ultrapure water are used as boiler water, cleaning water for cleaning products such as semiconductors, and dilution water for diluting chemicals. Pure water and ultrapure water are used differently depending on the water quality required for each application.

[0013] The water treatment equipment that makes up these water treatment systems is determined by the designer based on the quality of the raw water (such as industrial water and recycled water) and the required quality of the treated water (such as filtered water, pure water, or ultrapure water).In making their decision, the designer takes into consideration factors such as the customer's requests, cost, maintainability, and delivery time.For example, if an existing water treatment system has been delivered, selecting the same water treatment equipment or the same brand of ion exchange resin or membrane as the existing system can allow for the sharing of spare parts, which may avoid an increase in the amount of maintenance or daily work (type of work).

[0014] The design process for a water treatment system consists of the process of determining the water treatment flow by deciding the type of water treatment equipment to be used and the order in which those equipment will be arranged, the process of determining the water balance of the water treatment equipment, the process of determining the specifications of the water treatment equipment, the process of determining the layout of the water treatment equipment, and the process of creating a flowsheet. These processes may be carried out simultaneously. Design tools are used to carry out these processes. A single design tool may also perform multiple processes. (First embodiment)

[0015] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a first embodiment of an information processing system of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, the information processing system in this embodiment has an information processing device 100 and a database 200. The information processing device 100 and the database 200 may be directly connected, or may be connected via a communication network (not shown). The information processing device 100 and the database 200 may be connected wirelessly or via a wire. The communication network used here is a telecommunications line that can send and receive electrical signals carrying information, such as a telephone line or the Internet.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in database 200 shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 3, database 200 shown in FIG. 2 stores apparatus identification information and apparatus-related information in association with each other. The apparatus identification information is information uniquely assigned to each of multiple water treatment apparatuses constituting the water treatment system to be designed, for identifying the water treatment apparatus. As shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus identification information may be a combination of letters and numbers. The apparatus-related information is information indicating specifications, attributes, etc., of each water treatment apparatus. As shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus-related information is information indicating usage restrictions (usage conditions), standards, performance, delivery date, export restrictions, design considerations, etc. The information stored in database 200 can be read from information processing apparatus 100 or other specific apparatuses. Information can also be written to database 200 from information processing apparatus 100 or other specific apparatuses. The information stored in database 200 can also be edited (updated) from information processing apparatus 100 or other specific apparatuses. This specific apparatus is an apparatus operated by a person authenticated in this information processing system. The database 200 may be provided inside the information processing device 100 .

[0017] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of components included in the information processing device 100 shown in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 4, the information processing device 100 shown in Fig. 2 has an input unit 110, a writing unit 120, a searching unit 130, a display unit 140, and a reading unit 150. Fig. 4 shows main elements in this embodiment among the elements included in the information processing device 100 shown in Fig. 2.

[0018] The input unit 110 inputs information based on an operation received from the outside. The input unit 110 may be, for example, a touch panel having a display function, a keyboard, a mouse, or a numeric keypad.

[0019] The writing unit 120 writes (stores) information in the database 200. The writing unit 120 writes the information input by the input unit 110 into the database 200. The writing unit 120 writes the information (device-related information) input by the input unit 110 in accordance with the display on the display unit 140 into the database 200.

[0020] The search unit 130 searches the database 200 for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies a condition according to the information input by the input unit 110. This condition may be, for example, a usage method, a required processing capacity, a size, a delivery date, or the like. For example, when the condition "used in a cold climate" is input to the input unit 110, the search unit 130 searches the database 200 for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies the condition "used in a cold climate." Furthermore, when the condition "used indoors" is input to the input unit 110, the search unit 130 searches the database 200 for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies the condition "used indoors." The search unit 130 may search for device identification information associated with the device-related information as a higher candidate the more device-related information that satisfies the condition according to the information input by the input unit 110.

[0021] The display unit 140 is a display that displays an image of a water treatment device to which the device identification information searched by the search unit 130 has been assigned. The image of the water treatment device may be, for example, a predetermined frame, or a predetermined illustration, icon, graphic, symbol, thumbnail, etc. The image of the water treatment device is stored in the database 200 in association with the device identification information of the water treatment device. In the following description, the image of the water treatment device displayed by the display unit 140 is referred to as an icon. The display unit 140 also displays a prompt to input device-related information related to the water treatment device represented by the displayed icon into the input unit 110. This prompt may be, for example, an input field or input frame for inputting the device-related information into the input unit 110. This prompt may be displayed by coloring or highlighting the input field or input frame in a color different from the background, or by flashing the input field or input frame. This prompt may also be displayed by adding a comment to the input field or input frame, such as "Please enter the device-related information (attributes) to add here." This display may also be a blinking cursor displayed at an input field or input frame where input is possible. When a displayed icon is selected, display unit 140 displays a message prompting the user to input device-related information about the water treatment device indicated by the icon into input unit 110. Display unit 140 also displays the connection configuration of the water treatment device to which device identification information searched by search unit 130 is assigned, in accordance with the input from input unit 110. For example, display unit 140 displays lines connecting the icons searched by search unit 130 and displayed on display unit 140. Display unit 140 also displays the device-related information read from database 200 by read unit 150.

[0022] When an icon displayed by display unit 140 is selected, reading unit 150 reads from database 200 the apparatus-related information associated with the apparatus identification information assigned to the water treatment device indicated by the icon.

[0023] The following describes a design support method for the information processing device 100 shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the design support method for the information processing device 100 shown in Fig. 2.

[0024] First, input unit 110 inputs conditions for the water treatment device to be installed based on an operation received from an external device (step S1). Then, search unit 130 searches database 200 for device identification information associated with device-related information that satisfies the conditions input by input unit 110 (step S2). Next, display unit 140 displays an image showing the water treatment device to which the device identification information found by search unit 130 has been assigned (step S3).

[0025] Fig. 6(A) is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed in the processing of step S3 by the display unit 140 shown in Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 6(A), the display unit 140 displays an icon A indicating a filter that satisfies the input conditions on the design drawing.

[0026] Here, when input unit 110 is operated to display a cursor on display unit 140, and icon A is selected using the displayed cursor, display unit 140 displays a display prompting input of device-related information related to the water treatment device indicated by the icon into input unit 110 (step S4). FIG. 6(B) is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which display unit 140 shown in FIG. 4 displays a cursor. FIG. 6(C) is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed by display unit 140 shown in FIG. 4 in the processing of step S4. As shown in FIG. 6(B), when icon A is selected using cursor B displayed on display unit 140, an input frame C is displayed on display unit 140 as shown in FIG. 6(C), which is a display prompting input of device-related information related to the water treatment device indicated by icon A into input unit 110. When input unit 110 inputs new device-related information into input frame C (step S5), writing unit 120 writes the newly input device-related information into database 200 (step S6). At this time, writing unit 120 writes the device-related information into database 200 in association with the device identification information of the water treatment device indicated by icon A. That is, the device-related information associated with each device identification information stored in database 200 is added.

[0027] Fig. 6(D) is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed by the display unit 140 after the input unit 110 shown in Fig. 4 has input the device-related information. When the input unit 110 inputs the device-related information "long delivery time item" into the input frame C displayed on the display unit 140, "long delivery time item" is added to the device-related information included in the input frame C displayed on the display unit 140 and displayed, as shown in Fig. 6(D). When inputting multiple pieces of device-related information, a space, a comma, "#", or the like may be input between each piece of device-related information to clearly separate them.

[0028] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of information stored in database 200 to which device-related information has been added in step S6. Here, an example is shown in which device-related information has been added to a water treatment device having device identification information "U0001." As shown in FIG. 7, device-related information "long delivery time product" is added to the device-related information associated with device identification information "U0001" shown in FIG. 3 and stored. The device-related information added to database 200 is then used as a condition for searching for water treatment devices.

[0029] Similar to using a commonly used design support tool such as CAD (Computer Aided Design), the input unit 110 inputs the connections between the icons representing the water treatment devices based on an external operation, and the display unit 140 displays the connections. The input for connecting the icons may be performed before or after inputting the device-related information. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the connection configuration of the water treatment devices displayed on the display unit 140 shown in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 8, icons for a raw water tank, a filter, and a filtration tank, along with the flow paths between them, are displayed on the display unit 140. At this time, the display unit 140 may also display the device-related information for each device. The information processing device 100 may calculate the flow rate of the water to be treated or the treated water in each device, and the display unit 140 may display the flow rate. The display unit 140 may also display the actual layout (positional relationship) of each water treatment device. This display allows an operator to consider and determine the layout of each water treatment device while viewing the layout of the water treatment devices displayed on the display unit 140. This process is the process for determining the location of the water treatment device described above.

[0030] When inputting device-related information, the display unit 140 may display multiple pre-registered device-related information candidates in a selectable manner, and the writing unit 120 may add device-related information selected from the displayed device-related information candidates via input to the input unit 110 to the database 200. Alternatively, multiple displayed icons may be selected via a predetermined operation on the input unit 110, and the display unit 140 may display an input box for each of the selected icons. In this case, device-related information can be entered into each of the multiple input boxes. Alternatively, multiple displayed icons may be selected via a predetermined operation on the input unit 110, and the same device-related information may be registered in all of the water treatment devices represented by the selected icons by entering device-related information into one of the input boxes. In addition to using the cursor as described above, icon selection may also be performed by approaching or touching the display unit 140 with a finger or a touch pen, for example, if the display unit 140 has a touch panel function. In addition to the examples of "cold climate specification," "indoor installation," and "long delivery time," the device-related information may also include design notes such as "same as existing equipment" or "confirmation required from Mr. / Ms. X."

[0031] In this system for supporting the design of a water treatment system according to the present embodiment, display unit 140 displays images of devices constituting the water treatment system. When a displayed image is selected using input unit 110, display unit 140 prompts the user to input device-related information related to the device. When device-related information is input using input unit 110 in accordance with this display, the input device-related information is linked to the device and registered in database 200 as attributes of the device. This allows efficient registration of information related to each water treatment device constituting the water treatment system. When a desired water treatment device is subsequently selected, the attributes registered in database 200 are used as search criteria. Therefore, by newly registering information (attributes) not yet registered in database 200 as information such as the specifications of the water treatment device, a system with a configuration that complies with regulations can be designed without modifying the design support tool itself. Furthermore, by inputting information related to each device as device-related information, information can be shared without the need for handovers or information transfer between designers, thereby facilitating smooth design work. Furthermore, by using the same database 200, the attributes of the equipment can be widely utilized in the design of other water treatment systems. (Second embodiment)

[0032] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of an information processing system according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the information processing system according to this embodiment includes an information processing device 101, a database 200, and a display device 301. The information processing device 101 and the database 200 may be connected directly or via a communication network (not shown). The information processing device 101 and the database 200 may be connected wirelessly or via a wire. The information processing device 101 and the display device 301 may be connected directly or via a communication network (not shown). The information processing device 101 and the display device 301 may be connected wirelessly or via a wire. The communication network used here is a telecommunications line capable of transmitting and receiving electrical signals carrying information, such as a telephone line or the Internet. The database 200 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

[0033] The display device 301 is a display (display unit) that displays information. The display device 301 may be a monitor device of a PC (Personal Computer), or may be a display of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The display device 301 has a communication function and displays information received from the information processing device 101. The display device 301 may be a device that is connected to a plurality of information processing devices and can be controlled from the connected plurality of information processing devices.

[0034] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of components included in the information processing device 101 shown in Fig. 9. As shown in Fig. 10, the information processing device 101 shown in Fig. 9 has an input unit 110, a writing unit 120, a search unit 130, a reading unit 150, and a display control unit 161. The input unit 110, the writing unit 120, the search unit 130, and the reading unit 150 are the same as those in the first embodiment. Note that Fig. 10 shows main elements in this embodiment among the components included in the information processing device 101 shown in Fig. 9.

[0035] Display control unit 161 has all the functions of display unit 140 in the first embodiment except for the function of displaying information. In other words, the functions of display control unit 161 and the functions of display device 301 are the functions of display unit 140 in the first embodiment. Display control unit 161 has a communication function for communicating with display device 301, transmits control signals to display device 301, and controls the display of information on display device 301. Display control unit 161 causes display device 301 to display an image showing a water treatment device to which device identification information searched by search unit 130 has been assigned. The image showing the water treatment device is the same as that described in the first embodiment. Furthermore, display control unit 161 causes display device 301 to display a display prompting the user to input device-related information about the water treatment device indicated by the icon displayed on display device 301 into input unit 110. This display prompting the user to input is the same as that described in the first embodiment. When an icon displayed on display device 301 is selected, display control unit 161 causes display device 301 to display a display prompting input of device-related information about the water treatment device indicated by the icon to input unit 110. Display control unit 161 also causes display device 301 to display the connection configuration of the water treatment device to which the device identification information searched by search unit 130 is assigned, in accordance with input from input unit 110. For example, display control unit 161 causes display device 301 to display lines connecting the icons searched by search unit 130 and displayed on display device 301. Display control unit 161 also causes display device 301 to display the device-related information read from database 200 by read unit 150.

[0036] In this manner, in this embodiment, the display function in the first embodiment is provided outside the information processing device, so that even if the display of the information processing device or the like has size and resolution limitations, by displaying information on the display device 301 with a large display size and high resolution, it is possible to perform work efficiently in addition to the effects of the first embodiment.
