Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a specification management device and a communication system. [Background technology]

[0002] When determining the required specifications for made-to-order products such as train door systems, power generation systems, or fuel cell systems, it is necessary to provide the functions required by the customer at low cost by proposing alternative functions through trade-offs between existing products and customer requirements, or by estimating new developments.

[0003] However, while experienced veteran employees (engineers or salespeople) can make the above-mentioned proposals thanks to their accumulated know-how, it is difficult for junior employees (engineers or salespeople) who are unable to see the entire system to judge for themselves whether a combination of product specifications can be realized and make proposals to customers. The know-how of these experienced veteran employees is held individually in an imperfect form, and it is necessary to complement this imperfect judgment and propose solutions to customer requests.

[0004] For this reason, a specification decision support system has been proposed that judges specifications entered in accordance with a specification decision procedure and, if they are incorrect, provides advice on how to address them (see Patent Document 1). In this system, know-how is written in a scripting language, and an inference engine reads the script and outputs information related to the know-how. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 4-292381 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, with conventional methods, the know-how is written in a scripting language, which makes the description of the know-how complex and makes it difficult to understand the judgment process content, and even if there is only one difference among multiple judgment process content, the other judgment process content must be written exactly the same, making it difficult to see the difference and making it difficult to confirm the comprehensiveness of the extracted judgment process content.Furthermore, since maintenance requires programming skills, there are only a limited number of people who can perform maintenance, and because the judgment values ​​are included in the script, it takes time to find which settings to change when the values ​​change.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to enable veterans to easily leave know-how regarding the feasibility of realizing combinations of product specifications, and to make maintenance easier than before. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The invention of claim 1 is a specification management device for managing information relating to product specifications, comprising: a table having an input field for feasibility information for inputting feasibility information relating to the feasibility of realizing a combination of a first product specification and a second product specification; a storage unit for storing a determination program for executing the feasibility determination process by referring to the feasibility information; and a determination unit for performing the determination process by executing the determination program, The table has a first input field constituting a column for inputting the name of the specification of the first product, and a second input field constituting a row for inputting the name of the specification of the second product, and feasibility information input when the realization is possible among the feasibility information indicates that the remaining input fields for feasibility information corresponding to the second input field in the same row of the first input field do not need to be referenced, or indicates that the remaining input fields for feasibility information corresponding to the second input field in the same row of the first input field need to be referenced. It is a specification management device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] As described above, according to the present invention, compared to the prior art, it is possible for veterans and the like to easily leave their know-how and maintenance can be facilitated. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] [System Configuration] First, an outline of the configuration of a communication system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0013] 1, a communication system 1 of this embodiment is constructed by a specification management device 3, a communication terminal 5, and a mobile terminal 7. The specification management device 3, the communication terminal 5, and the mobile terminal 7 can communicate with each other via a communication network 100 such as the Internet. Note that the communication may be wired or wireless.

[0014] In Fig. 1, the communication terminal 5 is used by a veteran employee a of company A. The mobile terminal 7 is used by a junior employee b of company A who is negotiating with a customer c at a business negotiation location B or the like. Note that the specification management device 3 may be installed in company A or in a company other than company A.

[0015] The specification management device 3 is a server (computer) that manages information related to product specifications entered by veteran employee A via the communication terminal 5. The product specifications also include product functions and product performance.

The recording medium 330 here includes media that record information optically, electrically, or magnetically, such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory), a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, etc. The recording medium 330 may also include semiconductor memory that records information electrically, such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a flash memory, etc.

[0026] The various programs to be installed in the auxiliary storage device 303 are installed, for example, by setting the distributed recording medium 330 in the drive device 306 and reading the various programs recorded on the recording medium 330 by the drive device 306. Alternatively, the various programs to be installed in the auxiliary storage device 303 may be installed by being downloaded from a network via the communication device 305.

[0027] FIG. 2 also shows the hardware configuration of the communication terminal 5, but the only difference is that the reference numerals have changed from the 300s to the 500s, and the configurations are the same, so a description of these will be omitted.

[0028] <Mobile terminal hardware configuration> Next, the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal 7 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal in this embodiment.

[0029] 3, the mobile terminal 7 includes a processor 701, a memory 702, an auxiliary storage device 703, and a communication device 704. The mobile terminal 7 also includes a display device 705 and a short-range wireless communication device 706. The hardware components of the mobile terminal 7 are connected to each other via a bus 720.

[0030] The processor 701 serves as a control unit that controls the entire mobile terminal 7, and includes various arithmetic devices such as a CPU. The processor 701 reads and executes various programs on the memory 702. The processor 701 may include a GPGPU.

[0031] The memory 702 has a main storage device such as a ROM, a RAM, etc. The processor 701 executes various programs read onto the memory 702, thereby enabling the mobile terminal 7 to realize various functions.

[0032] The auxiliary storage device 703 stores various programs and various information used when the processor 701 executes the various programs.

[0033] The communication device 704 is a communication device for transmitting and receiving various types of information to and from other devices (terminals).

[0034] The display device 705 is a device that displays, for example, various information received from other devices (terminals) as images. The display device 705 displays a screen (see FIGS. 10 and 11) showing data created by veteran employee A and used by junior employee B.

[0035] The short-range wireless communication device 706 is a wireless device for performing short-range wireless communication with another device (mobile terminal) located near the mobile terminal 7.

[0036] [Functional configuration of the communication system] Next, each functional configuration of the communication system will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a functional configuration diagram of the communication system in this embodiment.

[0037] <Functional configuration of the specification management device> First, the functional configuration of the specification management device 3 will be described.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 4, the specification management device 3 has a transmission / reception unit 31, a determination unit 33, and a storage / readout unit 39. Each of these units has a function realized by an instruction from the processor 301 in Fig. 2 based on the specification management program. Furthermore, the specification management device 3 has a storage unit 30 realized by the memory 302 or auxiliary storage device 303 in Fig. 2.

[0039] The storage unit 30 stores a determination process management table as shown in FIG. 5, a message management table as shown in FIG. 6, and a determination program.

[0040] (Determination process management table) 5, the judgment process management table has an input field (an example of a first input field) for inputting a confirmation specification item Y for each record (each column). The confirmation specification item Y is further composed of input fields for a major item, a minor item, and a serial number (No.). Note that an input field for a medium item may be provided between the major item and the minor item, or the table may be composed of only minor items.

[0041] For example, veteran employee A accesses the specification management device 3 from the communication terminal 5 and inputs the name of the specification of a given product (e.g., "drive system," "1 opening, 1 motor for double sliding doors (2L1M)," "1") into each input field of the confirmation specification item Y.

[0042] Furthermore, the judgment processing management table has an input field (an example of a second input field) for inputting corresponding specification items X that can or cannot be combined with the specifications of corresponding specification item X, in each column (row). The corresponding specification item X is further composed of input fields for major items, minor items, and serial numbers (No.). Note that an input field for medium items may be provided between the major items and minor items, or the table may be composed of only minor items.

[0043] For example, veteran employee A accesses the specification management device 3 from the communication terminal 5 and inputs the name of a specified specification (e.g., "motor," "linear," "1," "rotary," "2") into each input field of the corresponding specification item X.

[0044] The confirmed specification item Y is an example of a specification of the first product, and the corresponding specification item X is an example of a specification of the second product.

[0045] Furthermore, the judgment processing management table has an input field for feasibility information for inputting feasibility information regarding the feasibility of realizing a combination with each corresponding specification item X1 for each record of the confirmed specification item Y. The judgment unit 33 executes a judgment program to refer to the feasibility information and perform a judgment process on the feasibility of realizing the specification combination. The judgment program is stored in the storage unit 30.

[0046] Each piece of feasibility information also indicates a determination processing order Z for the determination unit 33 to execute the determination processing for each record. That is, the determination unit 33 performs a determination process of whether or not the combination of specifications can be realized by referring to the input field of each piece of feasibility information in each record in order from left to right. Here, each piece of feasibility information will be described in detail.

[0047] In FIG. 5, "◯", "◎", and "-" indicate feasibility information that is input when the combination of specifications can be realized among the feasibility information.

[0048] "◯" indicates that the determination unit 33 will not refer to the remaining input fields for the propriety information in one record, and further indicates that the determination process is terminated because the determination result by the determination process is normal.

[0049] A hyphen "-" indicates that the remaining input fields for the propriety information in one record will not be referred to, and further indicates that the determination process that referred to the propriety information will be discontinued.

[0050] "◎" indicates that the remaining input fields for the feasibility information in one record will be referenced, and further indicates that the judgment unit 33 will reference the remaining input fields for the feasibility information because the specifications related to the feasibility information do not allow the judgment process to produce a result.

[0051] Note that "blank" indicates that the remaining input fields for the feasibility information in one record are to be referenced, and further indicates that the remaining input fields for the feasibility information are to be referenced because the specifications related to the feasibility information are not subject to judgment by the judgment process.

[0052] In addition, in FIG. 5, the feasibility information indicated by a number in the determination process content Z is impossibility information that is input when the combination of specifications cannot be realized.

[0053] For example, veteran employee A accesses the specification management device 3 from the communication terminal 5, enters a predetermined number (e.g., "1") in the input field for the acceptance / rejection information, and also enters a message such as that shown in Figure 6 (e.g., "We have proposed a linear motor, and if it is not accepted, we will abandon the quotation proposal.") in the field associated with this predetermined number.

[0054] (Message control table) As shown in Fig. 6, the message management table manages the message content in association with the impossible information numbers shown in the determination process management table in Fig. 5. Note that the impossible information does not have to be numbers, and can be letters or symbols as long as it can be uniquely identified.

[0055] (Each functional unit) Returning to FIG. 4, the transmitting / receiving unit 31 transmits and receives data to and from other devices (terminals) via the communication network 100.

[0056] The determination unit 33 performs the above-mentioned determination process by executing a determination program.

[0057] The storage / readout unit 39 stores data (possibility information, programs, etc.) in the storage unit 30 and reads out data (possibility information, programs, etc.) from the storage unit 30 .

[0058] <Functional configuration of communication terminal> Next, the functional configuration of the communication terminal 5 will be described.

[0059] 4, the communication terminal 5 has a transmission / reception unit 51, a reception unit 52, and a display control unit 54. Each of these units has a function realized by an instruction from the processor 501 in FIG. 2 based on a program for the communication terminal.

[0060] (Each functional unit) The transmitting / receiving unit 51 transmits and receives data to and from other devices (terminals) via the communication network 100.

[0061] The reception unit 52 receives operations such as input and selection from a user (for example, veteran employee a).

[0062] The display control unit 54 controls the display device 510 to display a screen or the like using a web browser or the like.

[0063] <Functional configuration of mobile terminal> Next, the functional configuration of the mobile terminal 7 will be described.

[0064] 4, the mobile terminal 7 has a transmission / reception unit 71, a reception unit 72, and a display control unit 74. Each of these units is a function realized by an instruction from the processor 701 in FIG. 3 based on the program for the communication terminal.

[0065] (Each functional unit) The transmitting / receiving unit 71 transmits and receives data to and from other devices (terminals) via the communication network 100.

[0066] The reception unit 72 receives operations such as input and selection from a user (for example, junior employee b).

[0067] The display control unit 74 controls the display device 708 to display a screen or the like using a web browser or the like.

[0068] [Processing or Operation of the Embodiment] Next, the processing or operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0069] <Processing or operation of communication terminal and specification management device> First, the processing or operation of the communication terminal and the specification management device will be described with reference to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Fig. 7 is a sequence diagram showing the processing of the communication terminal and the specification management device. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the communication terminal.

[0070] First, the experienced employee a in FIG. 1 operates the communication terminal 5, so that the transmitting / receiving unit 51 accesses the specification management device 3 (S1).

[0071] Next, the display control unit 54 displays the input screen shown in Fig. 8 on the display device 510 based on the input screen data received from the specification management device 3 by the transmitting / receiving unit 51 (S2). The input screen in Fig. 8 displays the determination process management table in Fig. 5 and the message management table in Fig. 6.

[0072] Next, the reception unit 52 receives input from veteran employee A into each input field of the judgment processing management table, and the transmission / reception unit 51 transmits the input data related to the input received by the reception unit 52 to the specification management device 3 (S3). As a result, in the specification management device 3, the storage / readout unit 39 updates the judgment processing management table to reflect the input data.

[0073] Furthermore, the reception unit 52 receives input from veteran employee A into the input field of the message management table, and the transmission / reception unit 51 transmits message data related to the input received by the reception unit 52 to the specification management device 3 (S4). As a result, in the specification management device 3, the storage / readout unit 39 updates the message management table to reflect the message data.

[0074] This completes the input operation for veteran employee A. In this way, veteran employee A only needs to input data into each table, and does not need to update the program himself, so veteran employee A can easily preserve his know-how and maintenance can be easily performed.

[0075] <Processing or operation of mobile terminal and specification management device> Next, the processing or operation of the mobile terminal and the specification management device will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 11. Figure 9 is a sequence diagram showing the processing of the mobile terminal and the specification management device. Figures 10(a), (b) and 11(a), (b) are diagrams showing examples of the display screen of the mobile terminal.

[0076] In the case where junior employee b in FIG. 1 receives a request from customer c for a different combination of specifications during business negotiations with the customer c, and junior employee b is unsure whether the combination can be realized by company A, the transceiver unit 71 accesses the specification management device 3 by operating the mobile terminal 7 (S11).

[0077] Next, the display control unit 74 displays the selection screen shown in Fig. 10(a) on the display device 708 based on the selected image data received from the specification management device 3 by the transmitting / receiving unit 71 (S12). The selection screens in Fig. 10(a) and (b) are screens based on the determination process management table in Fig. 5.

[0078] The selection screen displays the main items and sub-items of the confirmation specification item Y, which is part of the judgment processing management table. The selection screen also displays a "Check input" button b1 for displaying a message screen, which is a pop-up screen described below, and a button b2 for displaying a pull-down menu for each sub-item.

[0079] Here, the reception unit 72 receives the press of a predetermined button b2 from the junior employee b, then receives the selection of a confirmation specification item (here, sub-item b21), and when it further receives the press of the "Check input" button b1, the transmission / reception unit 51 transmits the selection data related to the selection (press) received by the reception unit 72 to the specification management device 3 (S13).

[0080] Next, the display control unit 74 displays a message screen, which is a pop-up screen shown in Fig. 11(a), on the display device 708 based on the message screen data received from the specification management device 3 by the transmitting / receiving unit 71 (S14). The message screen displays an "Execute" button b3 for executing the processing of the determination unit 33 of the specification management device 3, and an "End" button b4 for ending the series of processing in Fig. 9 without executing the processing of the determination unit 33.

[0081] Here, when the reception unit 72 receives a press of the "execute" button b3 from the junior employee b, the transmission / reception unit 71 transmits execution start data indicating the start of execution to the specification management device 3 (S15).

[0082] Then, the specification management device 3 performs a process of determining whether or not the combination of the specification indicated by the selected confirmed specification item Y and the specification indicated by the corresponding specification item X can be realized (S16). The determination process of step S16 will now be described in detail with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing the determination process executed by the specification management device.

[0083] First, as shown in Fig. 12, the determination unit 33 determines whether or not the determination process has been performed on all rows (S21). That is, the determination unit 33 determines whether or not the determination process on the feasibility of the combination with other specifications has been performed on all records in accordance with the determination process order performed from top to bottom for the confirmation specification item Y in Fig. 5. Then, if the determination process has been performed on all rows (S21; YES), the determination process ends.

[0084] On the other hand, if the determination process has not been looped through all rows (S21; NO), the determination unit 33 determines whether the determination process has been looped through all columns (S22). That is, the determination unit 33 determines whether the determination process has been performed on all columns to determine whether combinations with other specifications can be realized, following the determination process order performed from left to right for the corresponding specification item X in Fig. 5. Then, if the determination process has been looped through all columns (S22; YES), the process returns to step S21.

[0085] On the other hand, if the determination process has not been looped through all columns (S22; NO), the determination unit 33 determines whether the specifications are those selected by the user (in this case, junior employee b) in step S13 (see FIG. 10(b)) (S23). If the specifications are not those selected (S23; NO), the process returns to step S22.

[0086] On the other hand, if the specification is the selected one (S24; YES), the determination unit 33 determines the type of the feasibility information (S24). If the feasibility information is "blank" or "◎", the process returns to step S22, and the determination unit 33 performs the next determination process in the same table in accordance with the horizontal determination process order in Fig. 5. If the feasibility information is "◯" or "-", the process returns to step S21, and the determination unit 33 performs the determination process in the horizontal determination process order in Fig. 5 in the next table in accordance with the vertical determination process order in Fig. 5.

[0087] Furthermore, if the propriety information is a "number" starting with 1, the storage / readout unit 39 reads out the message data associated with the "number" in the message management table (S25). After that, the process returns to step S21, and the determination unit 33 performs the next determination process in the next table.

[0088] This completes the process of step S16 in FIG.

[0089] Next, the case where step S25 is executed will be described. As shown in Fig. 9, the display control unit 74 of the mobile terminal 7 displays the message shown in Fig. 11(b) on the display device 708 based on the message data received from the specification management device 3 by the transmitter / receiver 71 (S17). This displayed message includes the confirmation specification items (major items, minor items) selected by junior employee b in Fig. 10(b) and a message related to the message data read out in step S25. As a result, even if a question is asked by customer c at the business negotiation location B shown in Fig. 1, the message can be used as a reference to proceed with the business negotiation.

[0090] [Major Effects of the Embodiments] As described above, according to this embodiment, the judgment process content and judgment process order are indicated by the judgment process management table shown in FIG. 5, so that users such as veteran employee A can add or change specifications even if they do not have programming skills. Also, by making all items for each specification selectable, users such as veteran employee A can grasp all items at a glance. This also improves maintenance. In other words, compared to the conventional method, users such as veteran employee A can easily record their know-how, and maintenance is also made easier.

[0091] Furthermore, if a combination of specifications cannot be realized, a message is displayed as shown in Figure 11(b), allowing a user such as a junior employee b to refer to the message and make a proposal to customer c at a business negotiation location B, etc., thereby allowing the business negotiation to proceed smoothly.

[0092] 〔supplement〕 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may have the following configurations or processes (operations).

[0093] For example, the specification management device 3 can be realized by a computer and a program, but this program can also be recorded on a (non-transitory) recording medium or provided via a communication network.

[0094] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the specifications of the products that make up the train door system are described, but this is not limited to this, and the specifications may be those of products other than door systems or products other than trains. [Explanation of symbols]
