Embodiments of the Invention

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments and examples shown below.

[0025] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the physicochemical analysis instrument system (hereinafter referred to as "the System") S according to this embodiment. As shown in the figure, the System S is a physicochemical analysis instrument system comprising a physicochemical analysis instrument AE and a computer connected to the physicochemical analysis instrument AE. More specifically, each physicochemical analysis instrument AE is connected to an instrument computer AC, which is connected to a remote data extraction computer DC via a telecommunications network N such as the Internet. Furthermore, the System S is also connected to a certification computer CC for creating analysis result certificate data. In other words, these computers are capable of sending and receiving data via the telecommunications network N.

[0026] Furthermore, in this system S, a program for creating extracted data for physicochemical analysis instruments (hereinafter referred to as "this program") is recorded on the computer's recording medium, which causes the computer to perform the following steps: (S1) record analysis result data, (S2) record template data, and (S3) create extracted data from the analysis result data based on the template data. This program is preferably, though not limited to, recorded on the data extraction computer DC.

[0027] As described above, this program is executed by a computer (information processing device). Specifically, it is stored on a non-volatile recording medium such as the computer's hard disk, and is loaded into a volatile recording medium such as memory as needed and executed. In other words, by being executed by a computer, this program can realize a method for creating extracted data for physicochemical analysis instruments (hereinafter also simply referred to as "this method") which includes the steps of (S1) recording analysis result data, (S2) recording template data, and (S3) creating extracted data from analysis result data based on the template data.

[0028] Furthermore, in some cases, this system S can be configured as a so-called standalone system consisting only of the physicochemical analysis instrument AE and the instrument computer AC connected to it, without being connected to a network. In this configuration, the program can be stored on the instrument computer AC and executed as needed. Specifically, the functions of the data extraction computer DC and the certification computer CC may be performed solely by the instrument computer AC. Also, in the example shown in this figure, it is possible to configure the data extraction computer DC and the certification computer CC as a single computer.

[0029] In the above case, the program is recorded on the recording medium as described above, and as a result of the execution of this method as necessary, the computer functions as a data extraction device for physicochemical analytical instruments. Specifically, the data extraction device for physicochemical analytical instruments is a data extraction device for physicochemical analytical instruments equipped with a computer, and the recording medium of the computer contains a data extraction program for physicochemical analytical instruments that causes the computer to execute the steps of recording analysis result data, recording template data, and creating extracted data from the analysis result data based on the template data.

[0030] Unless otherwise specified, the computers used to run this program can employ the same configuration in any of the following: the equipment computer AC, the data extraction computer DC, and the certification computer CC. This configuration is not limited to having the above-mentioned functions, but it is preferable, though not limited, to include, a central processing unit (CPU), non-volatile recording media such as hard disks and flash memory, volatile recording media such as memory, a bus connecting these, input devices such as keyboards and mice, display devices such as monitors, and communication devices such as modems and ONUs (Optical Network Units) for connecting to a network.

[0031] The computer mentioned above may be a personal computer such as a laptop or desktop computer, or it may be a server. It may also be a personal digital assistant (PDTA), which has become increasingly popular in recent years, specifically a smartphone or tablet. A typical PDTA integrates the CPU, display device, and other components into a single cover, and by placing a sensor on the display device to create a touch panel, it can also function as an input device, making it very easy to use. In the case of a PDTA, the program that executes this method can be recorded and displayed as an application on the PDTA, and the method can be easily executed by launching this application.

[0032] Furthermore, as is clear from the above description, the system for implementing this method can be implemented via a telecommunications network N such as the Internet. Specifically, multiple computers can be connected via the telecommunications network N, and the steps of this method can be executed by these different computers. For example, (S1) and (S2) may be performed by the equipment computer AC, and then (S1) to (S3) may be processed again by the data extraction computer DC. Of course, the order in which these steps are performed can be adjusted as appropriate.

[0033] Next, we will explain in detail each step of this method performed by this program. While not limited to these applications, this method is particularly useful in the development and quality control of pharmaceuticals, food products, chemicals, petrochemicals, etc., using physicochemical analytical instruments (AE), and is also applicable to blood analysis and clinical fields. We will explain this in detail below.

[0034] First, this method includes the step of (S1) recording the analysis result data.

[0035] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, the analysis result data refers to analysis result data that includes information on measurement results obtained by analysis using the physicochemical analysis instrument AE, as described above, and is recorded on the recording medium of the instrument computer AC, and is also transmitted via the telecommunications network N to the data extraction computer DC, where it is recorded on the recording medium of the data extraction computer DC. However, the analysis result data may not be recorded on the recording medium of the instrument computer AC, but instead recorded directly on the recording medium of the data extraction computer DC via the telecommunications network N.

[0036] Here, "physicochemical analysis equipment" refers to equipment capable of performing physicochemical experiments and predetermined analyses. Specifically, it is preferable that the data is obtained by at least one of the following: electrochemical analyzers, photoanalytes, electromagnetic analyzers, separation analyzers, thermal analyzers, thermal measuring devices, and dedicated measuring devices. However, as stated above, it is not limited to these example devices, as long as it is capable of performing physicochemical experiments and predetermined analyses. The analysis result data is created by the physicochemical analysis equipment (AE), and the data format of this analysis result data varies widely depending on the physicochemical analysis equipment (AE) and the software recorded in the computer connected to it. In some cases, the data may not even be saved as numerical data that can be processed numerically. Therefore, this method aims to improve the efficiency of data processing and the reliability of data by creating these various data formats in a predetermined format and facilitating data extraction in the steps described later. Figure 2 shows an example of how analysis result data created by a certain physicochemical analyzer is displayed on a monitor or other screen.

[0037] Furthermore, "electrochemical analyzers" here can be exemplified by, but are not limited to, titrators, electrolytic devices, mass spectrometers, pH measuring devices, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) measuring devices, ion concentration measuring devices, etc.

[0038] Examples of "optical analysis devices" include, for example, absorption spectrophotometers, emission spectrophotometers, fluorescence spectrophotometers, Raman spectrophotometers, optical rotation spectrometers, photoelectric photometers, colorimeters, etc. In particular, in the case of absorption spectrophotometers, more specifically, examples include ultraviolet spectrophotometers, visible spectrophotometers, infrared spectrophotometers, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers, near-infrared spectrophotometers, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0039] Examples of "electromagnetic analyzers" include X-ray analyzers, mass spectrometers (GC / MS, LC / MS), magnetic resonance spectrometers (NMR, MRI), Auger electron spectrometers (AES), and photoelectron spectrometers (XPS, ESCA). In particular, X-ray analyzers can be more specifically exemplified by X-ray diffractometers, X-ray fluorescence analyzers, and electron beam microanalyzers (EPMA), but are not limited to these.

[0040] Examples of "separation and analysis equipment" include, for example, liquid chromatographs, thin-layer chromatographs, and supercritical liquid chromatographs. In particular, for liquid chromatographs, more specifically, gas chromatographs, high-performance liquid chromatographs (HPLC), and ion chromatographs can be given as examples, but the definition is not limited to these.

[0041] Furthermore, while "thermal analysis equipment" can be more specifically exemplified by melting point measuring devices, it is not limited to these.

[0042] Furthermore, examples of "dedicated measuring devices" include, but are not limited to, organic trace element analyzers, moisture content analyzers, density / specific gravity analyzers, viscosity / viscoelasticity analyzers, particle size / particle size distribution analyzers, etc.

[0043] Furthermore, in this method, the analysis result data is preferably in the form of image data, text data, and electronic document data, but it may be in any other format as long as it is data that can be displayed on a screen such as a monitor and made visible. As described above, the analysis result data is obtained by processing the results obtained by the physicochemical analysis instrument AE with a computer. Therefore, there is an advantage in that it can be easily handled by being in the form of image data, text data, and electronic document data, which are common file formats.

[0044] Furthermore, in the case of "image data," any file format that can be viewed as an image by the user when printed or displayed on a screen such as a monitor is acceptable and is not limited to any specific format. Examples include JPEG, bitmap (BMP), PNG, GIF, and TIFF formats. When image data is displayed, information about the measurement item and its value (measured value) can be seen, but it is only displayed as an image, and it is not easy to directly extract data from image data. In this method, as will become clear from the description below, preparations for acquiring measured value data are made by using image recognition technology (e.g., OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology) on the image data.

[0045] Furthermore, as mentioned above, it is preferable that the data be in text format. Text data is data that contains only character, number, and symbol information (character data). Since text data is recorded according to predetermined rules using spaces, commas, etc., it has the advantage of being easy to associate with measurement items and measurement values, and is easy to read as data. Examples of text data, though not limited to these, include plain text format (TXT), rich text format (RTF), hypertext markup language format (HTML), extended markup language format (XML), and CSV format. In the case of text data, the measurement item data and measurement value data are included in an easily understandable format, so it is possible to easily create extracted data using this program.

[0046] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, electronic document data is data that can include information such as text information, image information, and layout information, and is preferably in PDF format. Using PDF format has the advantage that documents can be viewed in a similar state regardless of the computer environment, and text can be embedded and read directly. Note that electronic document data in PDF format is data that can include text data, image data, layout data, etc., and may or may not contain text data. If text data is not included, it is included in the image file mentioned above, and the electronic document data referred to here means data that contains text data.

[0047] Furthermore, regarding image files, as described above, they may be created using a device control program pre-recorded in the device computer AC. Alternatively, for example, they may be recorded as image files, text files, or electronic document files on the recording medium of the data extraction computer DC, and then, using WebRTC (Web Ral-Time Communication) technology, the screen data from the data extraction computer DC can be transmitted directly to the device computer AC via the telecommunications network N. The device computer AC can then be operated to record the image file on its recording medium, or to record it on the recording medium of the data extraction computer DC via the telecommunications network N. Even if the analysis result data is text data or electronic document data containing text data, it may be recorded directly as image data by taking a screenshot of the data displayed on the device computer AC's display device. This makes it possible to process the data uniformly as simple image data without relying on the text format specific to physicochemical analysis instruments.

[0048] Furthermore, in cases where data from a remote data extraction computer DC is directly displayed on a display device such as a monitor on a remote equipment computer AC using Web-RTC technology as described above, one or more image data, text data, electronic document data, etc. transmitted from the data extraction computer DC may be displayed on the display device such as a monitor on the equipment computer AC. The necessary information may then be trimmed and combined from the displayed screen to create and record as separate image data. This method has the advantage of reducing information that is clearly unnecessary in the analysis result data, and also reduces the burden of creating template data. In this case, the equipment computer AC is used as an example, but it is also possible to use another computer operated by the user instead of the equipment computer AC. However, the separate image data mentioned above is recorded on the recording medium of the data extraction computer DC as analysis result data for extraction.

[0049] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, the analysis result data may be created by a peripheral device. Specifically, it is preferable to connect a peripheral device to a physicochemical analysis instrument AE or an instrument computer AC, and to create and record the analysis results output from these instruments as the analysis result data described above. For example, in recent years, printers have become capable of outputting not only paper but also electronic document data, specifically in PDF format, and by using such a printer as a peripheral device, it is possible to create and record the analysis result data.

[0050] Furthermore, in this method, it is also possible to capture printed materials or handwritten notes on paper (e.g., calibration records, calibration certificates, etc.) (hereinafter referred to as "paper media") using peripheral devices such as scanners, and convert them into image data, text data, or electronic document files.

[0051] Furthermore, in this step of the method, it is preferable to apply OCR technology to the recorded image data, and even more preferable to apply generative AI (e.g., LLM: Large Language Model, SSM: Small Language Model) technology after this processing. In this method, first, by using OCR technology, it is possible to attach text content data related to the content of the text and text location information data including the location information of the text to the image data. However, with general OCR technology, even if a continuous string of characters is broken down into individual characters for image recognition, there is a risk that if a discrimination error occurs, the resulting string of characters will not make sense. However, by further applying generative AI technology, it is possible to correct the misreading caused by the OCR technology and improve the accuracy while retaining the text content data and text location information data. Note that with reading using only generative AI, it is possible to extract text content data, but it is difficult to record the corresponding text location information data, which leads to the problem of difficulty in reverse searching described later, so processing with OCR technology and generative AI is important. In this case, when providing generation AI technology, it is preferable to record both the original image data and the image data including text position information data (OCR image data) obtained by applying OCR technology on the computer's recording medium, and to input these as prompts. By doing so, the generation AI can correct the text content data in the OCR image data while referring to the original image.

[0052] Furthermore, this method includes a step (S2) of recording template data. Here, "template data" refers to data that includes information about the template, and the template is a model (template) that specifies which measurement items to extract from the analysis result data and how to extract the measurement values ​​corresponding to those measurement items. Figure 3 shows an example of template data extracted by this method. This figure shows an example of what is displayed on the screen of a display device when predetermined measurement items are extracted as measurement item data from the analysis result data shown in Figure 2, and the measurement values ​​of those measurement items are extracted as measurement value data.

[0053] As is clear from the above description, the analysis result data includes at least one, preferably multiple, sets of measurement items and their corresponding measured values ​​(measurement item sets).

[0054] Incidentally, when analysis result data is in text format, it contains text content data, making it relatively easy to extract the necessary data. The same applies to electronic document data with attached text data. However, when analysis result data is in image data format or PDF format data without text data, while the measurement item set is included as information, it is merely stored as an image, making it difficult to directly extract measurement values ​​and other data. Therefore, in the case of image data, by creating image data with attached text content data as described above, it becomes possible to extract necessary information such as measurement values.

[0055] In other words, the extracted data comprises measurement item data containing information on at least the measurement items, and measurement data containing information on the corresponding measurement values ​​(a pair of measurement item data and measurement data is called measurement item pair data).

[0056] Furthermore, it is preferable that the extracted data includes not only the measurement item set data as described above, but also data containing bibliographic information such as sample identification information, measurement conditions, date, and notes. As a result, it is preferable that the extracted data includes not only the measurement item set data, but also bibliographic set data, specifically sample identification information set data containing information about sample identification information, measurement condition set data containing information about measurement conditions, date set data containing information about dates, note set data containing information about notes, etc.

[0057] Here, the "sample identification information set data" includes sample identification information item data, which indicates that the item is the identification information of a sample, and sample identification information content data, which concerns the content of the sample identification information. By including sample identification information, it becomes possible to identify the sample that was measured.

[0058] Furthermore, the "measurement condition set data" includes measurement condition item data, which indicates that the item relates to the measurement conditions, and measurement condition content data, which contains information about the content of the measurement conditions. Obtaining information about the measurement conditions, such as measurement temperature and measurement method, is extremely important.

[0059] Furthermore, "date data" includes date item data indicating that the item relates to the date on which the measurement was performed, and date content data containing information about the specific content of the date. Identifying the date is important when identifying the subject on which the measurement was performed, along with the sample identification information mentioned above.

[0060] Furthermore, the "memo data" includes memo item data that indicates that it is a memo item, and memo content data that contains information about the content of the memo. By including this data, it is possible to leave any necessary information other than the above items as a memo.

[0061] Furthermore, the template data in this step includes data containing information about the items to be extracted (extraction item data). Specifically, this includes each item data containing information about the items to be extracted from the measurement item data and bibliographic set data, specifically sample identification information item data, measurement condition item data, date item data, memo item data, etc. By including these in the template data, it is possible to extract content data corresponding to these item data from the analysis result data, and to extract content data that exists near this extracted item data, specifically measurement value data, sample identification information content data, measurement condition content data, date content data, and memo content data. In other words, the template data can be said to include at least "extraction item data".

[0062] Furthermore, in this case, it is preferable that the template data includes "extraction condition data" which contains information about the extraction conditions for the extracted item data. Specifically, in a later step, the extracted item data can be extracted from the analysis result data, and after extracting this extracted item data, data corresponding to this item data can be found in the same analysis result data. For this reason, it is preferable to include the extraction condition data in the template data. The extraction conditions are preferably information about the location from which the data is acquired, such as extracting data that is to the right of the location information data of the extracted item data, or extracting data that is below the location information data of the extracted item data.

[0063] Furthermore, in this case, when creating template data, it is preferable to create it based on the analysis result data, specifically while displaying the analysis result data on a display device. Creating the data while displaying the analysis result data allows for similar processing to be performed on similar analysis result data, and is particularly preferable when the analysis result data is image data, as it allows for detailed identification of the position of items within the image data and the position of content corresponding to those items.

[0064] Furthermore, it is preferable that the step of recording template data in this method be created based on "single sample data." As described above, template data is data that contains information about the template of data to be extracted from the analysis result data. When the physicochemical analysis instrument AE measures multiple samples (multi-samples) and analysis result data is obtained, the information about the above measurement item set will be included for each of the multiple samples. In other words, if the analysis result data contains information for multiple samples, there is a risk of mistakenly recognizing it as data from a single sample (single sample) even though the data was extracted from multiple samples. Therefore, when creating template data, there is an advantage in that this risk can be reduced by creating it based on single sample data. As is clear from the above description, "single sample data" refers to data obtained based on one sample, and "multi-sample data" refers to data obtained based on multiple samples.

[0065] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, it is preferable to include a step of acquiring (S0) single sample data for a template before the step of recording (S1) analysis result data. The analysis result data contains information about the instrumental analysis results, and by extracting this information, it is possible to create and record extracted data. On the other hand, when acquiring analysis result data, it is not uncommon for the results of multiple samples (test subjects) to be included at once. More specifically, when performing measurements with a single physicochemical analyzer AE, it is not uncommon to measure the same measurement items for multiple samples in parallel. Therefore, even when measuring multiple samples in parallel, it is possible to avoid confusion by separating each and keeping them as single sample data.

[0066] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, the analysis results data may be multi-sample data. As described above, when operating the AE (analytical physicochemical) analyzer, efficient measurements can be performed by continuously measuring multiple samples. By using multi-sample data, this process can be performed in a single step, which may enable even more efficient data processing.

[0067] Furthermore, this method includes a step of creating extracted data from analysis result data based on (S3) template data. As described above, by creating extracted data from analysis result data, effective analysis and the creation of certificate data based thereon become possible. Figure 4 shows an example of when the extracted data extracted by this step is displayed on the screen of a display device.

[0068] Furthermore, in this step, specifically, the analysis result data is first searched for item data included in the template data, and the content data corresponding to this item data is extracted. Specifically, item data, such as sample identification information item data, measurement condition item data, date item data, memo item data, and measurement item data, is searched for, and if found, the corresponding content data, such as sample identification information content data, measurement condition content data, date content data, memo content data, and measurement value data, is recorded. In this case, if each item data is found, it is preferable to search for and record the content data according to the extraction condition data included in the template data that is determined according to the item. This enables a more accurate search. In other words, the extracted data will include item data and the corresponding content data.

[0069] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, it is preferable to also perform the step of creating analysis result certificate data based on the extracted data (S4). "Analysis result certificate data" refers to data containing information about the analysis result certificate, and by obtaining the extracted data, it becomes possible to issue an analysis result certificate based on this data. This step can also be performed by the data extraction computer DC, but it is preferable to perform it by the certification computer CC. By using different computers for data extraction and certificate issuance, it is possible to prevent tampering and errors and maintain a high level of reliability.

[0070] Furthermore, although not limited to this method, it is preferable to also perform the step of (S5) performing a reverse search on the analysis result data based on the extracted data. Specifically, if it becomes necessary to verify the content of the measurement at a later date, it is possible to perform a reverse search on the analysis result data to confirm the truthfulness of the measured items and their contents. Specifically, this step identifies the item data or content data to be reverse-searched in the extracted data, reads the analysis result data from the recording medium, and finds the item data or content data within the analysis result data. In this case, if the analysis result data is text data or electronic document data, it will contain text content data, but if it is image data, it will often not contain text data. Therefore, in the case of image data, it is preferable to make image data that includes the text content data and text location information data recorded when the above OCR technology is applied the target of the reverse search. This has the advantage of enabling reverse searching.

[0071] In summary, the present invention provides a program for creating extracted data for physicochemical analytical instruments, a physicochemical analytical instrument system, a method for creating extracted data for physicochemical analytical instruments, a recording medium storing the program for creating extracted data for physicochemical analytical instruments, and a device for creating extracted data for physicochemical analytical instruments, all of which enable high-quality control even when using analytical instruments that are not fully capable of handling high-quality control processes.
