Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a data management system, a data management device, a data management method, and a program for the data management system, and more particularly to a management system, a management device, a management method, and a management program for the results of ICP spectroscopic analysis. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a separation and analysis method for optimizing a solution to be measured, using at least one of an ICP optical emission spectrometer, an ICP mass spectrometer, and an atomic absorption spectrometer. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-135297 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] At least the amount of data from the various analytical devices described in Patent Document 1 (particularly analytical devices employing spectroscopic technology) is enormous. To gain some insight from the data, it is necessary to organize the data. Using a sheet is an efficient way to organize the data. The sheet has multiple columns with multiple cells in the vertical direction and multiple rows with multiple cells in the horizontal direction. Then, in at least one of the columns and rows to which a specific cell a containing one piece of data belongs, a cell A containing the attribute name of the piece of data is provided.

[0005] When organizing data, it is necessary to separate the vast amount of data into necessary data and unnecessary data in order to obtain desired knowledge. One of the motivations for this data separation (hereinafter also referred to as "management") is to select data for obtaining the desired knowledge (in other words, to exclude clearly abnormal data).

[0006] For example, suppose a worker selects cell a and marks cell a for reference. Conventionally, this alone does not allow a mark to be added to cell A, which contains the attribute name of the data contained in cell a. Consequently, the worker must move the cursor to cell A and add a mark to cell A. After that, the worker must again move the cursor to select cell b, which contains different data (belonging to cell B, which contains a different data attribute (major item)). If cell b is close to cell a, it is somewhat easy to find cell b. However, if this is not the case, the worker must perform the extra task of searching for cell b (Problem 1). Similar to moving the cursor, scrolling a sheet also presents the same Problem 1 and Problem 2 described below. However, for the sake of convenience, only cursor movement will be illustrated in this specification.

[0007] Furthermore, when selecting cell a to gain some insight from the data, it is possible that the worker may mistakenly select cell a', which has a different data attribute, and mark cell a' as a reminder. In this case, the worker will mark cell A', which contains the name of a data attribute that should not actually be used to gain insight. Even if the worker realizes the error from the data attribute name written in cell A', he or she will have to move the cursor again to remove the mark from cell a'. In this case, too, extra work by the worker is required (Problem 2).

[0008] An object of the present invention is to improve the efficiency of operations related to data management. [Means for solving the problem]

[Figure 6] FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the data management system of this embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following describes embodiments of the present invention. In this specification, the symbol "to" indicates a value greater than or equal to a predetermined value and less than or equal to a predetermined value.

[0025] The data management system of this embodiment has the following configuration. "In a sheet having a plurality of columns each having a plurality of cells in the vertical direction and a plurality of rows each having a plurality of cells in the horizontal direction, a marking permission setting unit sets whether or not it is possible to mark each cell each having one piece of data by selection; a marking unit that marks a cell a when the cell a that can be marked by selection is selected, and also marks a cell A in at least one of the column and row to which the cell a belongs, in which an attribute name of one of the data included in the cell a is written; A data management system comprising:

[0026] The sheet may be one provided in known data management software. In this specification, a sheet in Excel (registered trademark), software by Microsoft (registered trademark), is used as an example. Similarly, the rows, columns, and cells are also provided in Excel (registered trademark).

[0027] For the purpose of more specific explanation, the sheet shown in FIG. 1 will be exemplified in this embodiment.

[0028] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a sheet to be managed in this embodiment, in which each cell contains data representing the results of ICP spectroscopic analysis. FIG. 2 is a diagram in which cells that can be marked by selection using the marking availability setting unit of this embodiment are surrounded by a two-dot chain line in FIG. FIG. 3 shows the state in which an operator selects cell a and cell b from among the cells that can be marked by selection in FIG. 2 (by placing the cursor on the cell and clicking the mouse), and marks are added to both cells by the marking unit of this embodiment. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which marks have been added to cells A and B in FIG. 3 by the marking unit of this embodiment.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1, the top row of the sheet lists the observation wavelength as a major item, which is the attribute name to which the cell containing the data belongs. The type of element may be set as a major item in addition to or instead of the observation wavelength. All cells containing the names of the major items are contained in one row. Furthermore, the leftmost column of the sheet lists the names of samples subjected to ICP atomic emission spectrometry. All cells containing sample names are contained in one column.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 1, the column to which the cell a belongs is a single column av (shown by a dashed line in the figure) that includes cells A in which the names of the major categories, which are the attribute names, are written. There are as many columns av as there are different major categories.

[0031] The single column av is made up of multiple columns av1 to n (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2) (indicated by dashed lines in the figure), and each of the multiple columns av1 to n is provided with a cell in which the name of a sub-item that belongs to the major item but subdivides the content of the data is written. In this embodiment, the cell in which the name of the major item is written is a single merged cell that is long in the horizontal direction and spans the multiple columns av1 to n. If the cell of the major item is A, the multiple columns av1 to n may be written as columns avA1 to An, and if the cell of the major item is B, the multiple columns av1 to n may be written as columns avB1 to Bn.

[0032] In Figure 1, the sub-items include, for example, element concentration (ratio), element concentration (relative standard deviation = %RSD), observed signal strength (c / s), and observed signal strength (relative standard deviation = %RSD). Hereinafter, element concentration will also be simply referred to as concentration.

[0033] Of course, there is no limitation on the content of the items, whether they are minor or major items, as long as they are items that can be obtained through measurement.

[0034] In order to simplify the explanation, Fig. 1 illustrates a case where only columns av1, av2, av3, and av4 exist. Also, in terms of rows, Fig. 1 illustrates a case where only rows ah1 to ah4 (samples 1 to 4) (shown by thick dotted lines in the figure) exist. On the other hand, the greater the number of rows and columns, the more likely it is that the situation described in the section on the problem of the present invention (a situation that reduces work efficiency) will occur.

[0035] In view of this, when the number of rows is 100 (or 500) or more and / or the number of columns (n, which is the total number of columns or the number of av) is 100 (or 500) or more, searching for cell a becomes difficult, and the effect of the present invention becomes more pronounced. When the number of cells with one piece of data is 10,000 or more (or 50,000 or more), searching for cell a becomes difficult, and the effect of the present invention becomes more pronounced.

[0036] The marking unit in this embodiment also marks cell A, which contains the attribute name of one of the data items in cell a in the column to which cell a belongs (bold solid line in FIG. 4). As a result, the above-mentioned problem 1 is solved. That is, simply by selecting (e.g., clicking with the mouse) cell a that can be marked by selection, a mark is added to cell a. Moreover, a mark is automatically added to cell A. As a result, there is no need to move the cursor, improving work efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, the "mark" is used to distinguish selected cells from other cells. This mark includes an invisible mark (also called an unrecognized attribute) that is a filled-in mark of the same color as the background color (white) of the sheet (however, the text is not filled in), and a visible mark (also called a recognized attribute) that is a red frame that surrounds the selected cell.

[0038] In this embodiment, an example is given in which the marking unit marks the cell a with both an invisible mark (filled in the same color as the background color (white) of the sheet) and a visible mark (red border). In this embodiment, an example is given in which the marking unit marks only a visible mark (red border) to cell A, which contains the attribute name of one piece of data contained in cell a, but the invisible mark may be marked together with the visible mark, as in the case of cell a.

[0039] "Marking by selection" refers to marking a cell by placing the cursor over the cell containing a piece of data and selecting it (e.g., clicking the mouse). In other words, "marking by selection" is an action performed on cell A. The marking section automatically marks cell A. The marking availability setting section below pre-sets which cells A can be marked by selection.

[0040] The marking permission setting unit in this embodiment provides the following advantages: When selecting cell a to gain some insight from the data, it is possible to prevent the user from accidentally selecting cell a', which has a different data attribute. As a result, the above-mentioned problem 2 is solved.

[0041] The features of this embodiment can be summarized as follows.

[0042] Another significant feature of this embodiment is the use of unrecognized attribute information. That is, in this embodiment, management (control) of marking / non-marking is performed using unrecognized attribute information. The unrecognized attribute information is information set for each cell to define the visual attribute (attributes when displaying) of each cell. For example, information defining the background color attribute of each cell is one example.

[0043] Specifically, the background color of a cell is clearly different in terms of cell attributes depending on whether it is filled in white or not. However, when displayed, the cell may appear identical, so the difference is not recognized. By using this unrecognized attribute information, it is possible to manage whether or not a mark is added without making any changes to the existing data structure.

[0044] As a result, the marking availability setting unit and the marking unit in this embodiment can improve the efficiency of work related to data management.

[0045] Other preferred examples or modifications will be given below.

[0046] Before the mark is added, the cells a and A are not filled with any color and are the background color of the sheet itself. The marks assigned to the cells a and A by the mark assignment unit may include a fill mark of the same color as the background color of the sheet, and a cell border line of a color different from the background color of the sheet and the character color of the data.

[0047] Let's assume that the background color of the sheet and each cell is white and the text is black. In this case, neither cell A, which contains one piece of data, nor cell A, which contains a major item, is filled with any color other than white.

[0048] When the cell a is selected, the following two marks may be added to the cell a. Note that only one of the marks may be added. Invisible marks (or unrecognized attributes) that are filled in the same color as the background color (white) of the sheet (however, the text is not filled in). A visible mark (or recognition attribute) that is a cell border of a color (e.g., red) different from the background color (white) of the sheet and the character color (black) of the data

[0049] With the configuration in the above paragraph, when the sheet is printed, the "selected cell a" and cell A, i.e., the "major item of cell a (observation wavelength)" are clear at a glance. Moreover, if all the cells with the names of the major items listed fit into one row, it becomes clear at a glance which major item is being used by looking at one row.

[0050] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing how, when the marking unit selects cells s, t, and u that are adjacent to each other on the top and bottom and that can be marked by selection, and marks the cells s, t, and u, the marking unit adds a border to a block v made up of the cells s, t, and u and erases the border inside the block. This process may be applied not only to cells adjacent to each other on the top and bottom, but also to cells adjacent to each other on the left and right, or to cells adjacent to each other on the top, bottom, left and right. s and t may be written as a and b. When adopting the configuration described in this paragraph, a minimum of two cells is sufficient. Also, adjacent cells of major categories (or sample names) that are marked may be treated as a single group and processed in the same manner as described in this paragraph.

[0051] The block v shown in Figure 5 may be composed of multiple cells, rather than a merged cell. This configuration improves visibility when the sheet is printed. In other words, it is possible to reduce the number of red borders, improving visibility.

[0052] Of course, the method of applying the mark is not particularly limited. For example, a yellow fill mark may be used instead of a white fill mark. However, in that case, cells of a color different from the background color will appear, increasing the number of colors that the worker must judge. In terms of work efficiency, if the background color is white, it is better to fill the cell with white and add a red border. By filling the cell with white when the background color is white, it is possible to apply unrecognized attribute information to the visible attribute data area (cell a) where the background color is white and the text color is black.

[0053] The marking unit also marks cell A, which contains the attribute name of one piece of data in cell A, in the "column" to which cell A belongs, but the columns and rows may be interchanged. On the other hand, because numerical data is easier to see when arranged vertically, it is preferable to use "columns" as in this embodiment.

[0054] In addition, in rows as well as columns, all cells in which the name of a major category (sample name in this embodiment) is written may be placed in one column. However, when ICP spectroscopy analysis results are adopted, data will be adopted for all samples. In this case, when this embodiment is adopted, all sample names will be filled in white and bordered in red, which will weaken the meaning of the marking. Of course, when data will not necessarily be adopted for all samples, or when a different major category than the sample name is adopted and marking is meaningful, it is preferable to place all cells in rows as well as columns in which the name of a major category is written in one column.

[0055] The marking unit may be configured not to mark cells in which the names of the sub-items are written. This allows the worker to focus only on the major items among the items, improving work efficiency. On the other hand, if there is a minor item that the worker needs to refer to, the cell in which the name of the minor item is written may be marked. In this way, whether or not to mark cells in which the names of minor items are written by selection may be determined in advance by the marking permission setting unit before selecting cell a.

[0056] The marking permission setting unit may be configured to set whether or not a mark can be added by selection for each column of the sub-items. For example, if it is necessary to refer to only the concentration (ratio) to obtain desired knowledge, the marking permission setting unit may set the columns of the sub-items of concentration (relative standard deviation = %RSD), observed signal strength (c / s), and observed signal strength (relative standard deviation = %RSD) so that a mark cannot be added by selection.

[0057] The marking permission setting unit may set a threshold value for each subitem to determine whether the data is an abnormal value, and the marking permission setting unit may set a threshold value for each subitem to automatically prohibit marking (prohibits selection of marking) data whose value is outside the threshold value.

[0058] The marking permission setting unit may prohibit marking by selection to a blank cell that does not contain any data or characters. The marking permission setting unit may allow selective marking of at least cells containing data (or, in some cases, only those cells). The marking permission setting unit may allow selective marking of columns av1 to n in which major items exist (or in some cases, only the columns av1 to n).

[0059] The marking permission setting unit is limited to cells containing one piece of data, but it is not prohibited to use another marking permission setting unit to selectively set whether or not to mark cells other than the cells containing one piece of data (for example, cells containing only character strings or the blank cells).

[0060] Specific examples of each configuration of this embodiment will be described below.

[0061] FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing the configuration of the data management system of this embodiment.

[0062] The computer in the data management system according to this embodiment includes at least the marking permission setting unit, the marking unit, a control unit, and a memory (storage unit).

[0063] In addition, it is equipped with a display (first display device), a pointing device (operation device) represented by a mouse, a keyboard (information input device) represented by an information input device, and a data output device (first output device) represented by a printer.

[0064] The data management system according to this embodiment is operated by an operator in the form of operations associated with general computer input / output.

[0065] Each component is controlled by a control unit of a computer in the data management system. In this embodiment, the components are mounted on a computer. However, some of the components described in this embodiment may be separate components connected to a network, rather than being mounted on a computer.

[0066] The data management system according to this embodiment executes software operated through user input to multiple graphical user interfaces (GUIs). This data management system is based on calculation software for analyzing data using worksheets, typically used in the natural sciences. The display area of ​​the display displays buttons and a cursor included in the software's multiple GUIs. The cursor is, for example, an arrow image. A mouse controls the cursor within the display area. The mouse is placed on a work surface (e.g., a desk, not shown). The user can change the cursor position by moving the mouse on the work surface. The user can select a GUI within the display area by clicking the mouse. Examples of click operations include single-clicking and double-clicking the mouse. This embodiment illustrates a case in which a cell can be selected (and thus the cell can be filled with white) by a single click. A similar operation may be used to deselect a cell (and thus the cell can be unfilled with white, i.e., the cell becomes transparent).

[0067] The control unit includes a processing circuit. The processing circuit may be dedicated hardware or a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a program stored in memory. If the processing circuit is dedicated hardware, the processing circuit may be, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or a combination of these. If the processing circuit is a CPU, the functions of the control unit are realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software or firmware is written as a program and stored in memory. The processing circuit reads and executes the program stored in memory. The CPU is also called a central processing unit, processing device, arithmetic unit, microprocessor, microcomputer, processor, or DSP (Digital Signal Processor).

[0068] The memory includes non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory (e.g., RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), or EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory)), as well as magnetic disks, flexible disks, optical disks, compact disks, minidiscs, DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs), and Blu-ray (registered trademark) Discs.

[0069] The memory stores screen information (first data), coordinate information (second data), and detailed information (third data) in separate modules. The screen information includes information regarding the layout of each of the multiple GUIs. For example, the screen information associates the ID of each of the multiple GUIs, an image of the GUI, and an area in which the GUI is displayed.

[0070] The coordinate information includes information about the coordinates of the cursor. For example, the coordinates of the mouse on the work plane are associated with the coordinates of the cursor in the display area. The cursor coordinates are, for example, the coordinates of the tip of the cursor.

[0071] The detailed information includes information about the functions of each of the multiple GUIs. For example, the detailed information associates the ID of each of the multiple GUIs with information about the function of that GUI. It also includes information in which input and output data is recorded.

[0072] The control unit receives movement amount information relating to the position of the mouse cursor from the mouse. The control unit refers to the coordinate information to identify the coordinates of the cursor associated with the coordinates of the mouse. The control unit refers to the screen information to determine whether the cursor coordinates are included in the GUI displayed on the display. If the cursor coordinates overlap the GUI, the control unit refers to the detailed information and determines the start conditions of the processing program from information relating to the function of the GUI.

[0073] Note that communication between the control unit and the display may be either wired or wireless. Communication between the control unit and the printer may be either wired or wireless. Communication between the control unit and the mouse may be either wired or wireless. Communication between the control unit and the keyboard may be either wired or wireless.

[0074] By selecting the data placed at the cursor position, the user can refer to the data area that has been previously used as the non-recognition area. If the valid control conditions are met, the data in the non-recognition area (whited out) within the specified range is referenced under the conditions specified on the coordinates, and the conditions on the coordinates of the recognition area are rewritten.

[0075] The data in this unrecognized area cannot be viewed from the GUI. Furthermore, if data including the unrecognized area is printed out, the information is kept secret.

[0076] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but also includes forms in which various modifications and improvements are made within the scope that can derive specific effects obtained by the constituent elements of the invention and their combinations.

[0077] In this embodiment, a data management system is used as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to a data management device. The data management device may be configured to include the marking permission setting unit and the marking unit, similar to the data management system. Other examples (preferred examples, modified examples) are similar to the data management system, and therefore will not be described here.

[0078] Although the present embodiment has been described with reference to a data management system as an example, the present invention can also be applied to a program for a data management system. Specifically, the program is a data management system program that causes a computer to perform the functions of the mark assignment setting unit and the mark assignment unit. Other examples (preferred examples, modified examples) are similar to the data management system, and therefore will not be described here.

[0079] Although the present embodiment has been described as an example of a data management system, the present invention can also be applied to a data management method. In this case, the marking permission setting unit can be referred to as a marking permission setting step, and the marking unit can be referred to as a marking step.

[0080] Although ICP spectroscopy analysis results are exemplified as the data, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in a broad sense, the data may be chemical analysis results. Similar data representation methods can be used to simultaneously represent acquired information under multiple specified conditions, such as ICP mass spectrometry (element concentration and signal intensity), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) (element concentration and emission intensity), and microwave nitrogen plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MP-AES) (element concentration and emission intensity). Data obtained as a measurement result by an ICP mass spectrometry or atomic absorption spectrometry may also be used.

[0081] Among the results of ICP spectroscopy analysis cited as the data, the present embodiment has cited the case of emission spectroscopy as an example, but the present invention can also be applied to spectral observation. The present invention can also be applied when the "emission" mentioned above is replaced with "spectrum." For example, the data is the results of ICP emission spectroscopy analysis, and the plurality of major items may be divided into at least one of the types of elements and emission wavelengths to which the data belong, and the plurality of minor items may be divided into at least one of the concentrations and emission intensities of the elements.
