Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In recent years, with the development of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology, it is expected that generative AI, which has learned from past equipment and failure information, can assist users by proofreading the content entered into equipment management systems and suggesting new content that should be entered, thereby enabling users to input information at a predetermined level of granularity regardless of their individuality or skills.

[0006] For example, the number and content of items in the input / output screen for fault information entered into the equipment management system vary depending on the equipment and the inspection content. Therefore, there is a challenge in being able to import this information into the generating AI regardless of the number and content of items.

[0007] When a generating AI suggests input content for the equipment management system, or when the generating AI reviews input from a user (worker), the number and content of the displayed items vary depending on the equipment and inspection content. Furthermore, the number and content of the displayed items may change even after the information is displayed on the equipment management system screen due to screen operations, etc. Therefore, there is a challenge in being able to display the output information of the generating AI regardless of the number and content of the items.

[0040] Figure 10 shows an example of a prompt created from the information on the information input / output screen in Figure 9. The prompt 22 consists of input item information 221 and output item information 222. Input item information 221 lists the input items and their contents in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format, following the string "Input Information". In this case, it is a combination of the "Subject" item and the contents of "Conveyor Periodic Inspection", and the "Summary" item and the contents of "...".

[0041] Output item information 222 lists the output items and their contents in JSON format, following the string "Output Information". Here, the items listed are "Worker (planned)", "Working hours (planned)", "Person in charge", "Work standard No.", "(Budget) In-house production costs", "(Budget) Outsourcing costs", "(Budget) Spare parts costs", and "(Budget) Total".

[0042] By passing dynamically generated prompts 22, which correspond to the input / output items on the screen, to the generation AI system 4, it becomes possible to input inquiries to the generation AI system 4 and display the responses of the generation AI system 4, regardless of the number of input / output items on the screen.

[0043] The generation AI system 4 proofreads the worker's input and suggests additional input, allowing fault information to be entered with a unified syntax and level of detail, regardless of the worker's individuality or skills. The above effects can be obtained regardless of the number and content of fault information items entered into the equipment management system 5, or the number and content of items displayed in the results.
