Industrial Sewing Machine Web Interface for Multi-Machine Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing industrial sewing machines require multiple apps on an information terminal for operation, leading to significant development effort and cost, especially when multiple types of machines are present in a sewing factory.
Innovation Solution
An industrial sewing machine system that includes a web server providing an operation screen simulating an operation panel through a web browser on an information terminal and a sewing machine control part controlling the machine based on operation data, eliminating the need for multiple apps.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple apps are installed on the information terminal to operate multiple types of industrial sewing machines, then each sewing machine type can be operated independently, but the number of apps increases and development cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal operation screen that can operate multiple types of industrial sewing machines through a single application. The operation screen is configured to display and control different sewing machine types (e.g., lockstitch sewing machine, button sewing machine, pocket sewing machine) without requiring separate applications for each machine type, thereby achieving multi-functionality and reducing the number of apps needed.
2Device complexity
If a single app is developed to operate multiple types of industrial sewing machines, then the number of apps on the terminal is reduced, but significant development effort and cost are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the operation interface into modular operation screens that can be selectively displayed based on the sewing machine type. Each operation screen contains specific controls and parameters relevant to particular sewing machine types, allowing the system to present only the necessary interface elements for the currently selected machine type, thereby reducing overall development complexity while maintaining versatility.

AI summary
An industrial sewing machine is operated through an information terminal without having to install many apps on the information terminal. The industrial sewing machine includes: a web server, based on a request from a web browser installed on an information terminal, providing the web browser with an operation screen simulating an operation panel, and receiving operation data generated by operating the operation screen; and a sewing machine control part, controlling a sewing machine operating part based on the operation data.
