(Knowledge on which this disclosure is based)
The present inventor has found that the following problems arise with respect to the management system of Patent Document 1 described in the column of "background technology".

In this management system, as described above, the reader / writer reads the identification information and the status information of the reel cassettes from the RF tags of the plurality of reel cassettes. The read information is electronically managed by, for example, a server or a management device.

Therefore, for example, the state information indicating that the reel cassette is malfunctioning is read out, and the identification information of the malfunctioning reel cassette is displayed on the management device. In such a case, the operator goes in front of the component mounting device on which many tape feeders are mounted and tries to remove the tape feeder including the malfunctioning reel cassette from the component mounting device. However, it is difficult for the operator to directly visually check the component mounting device to find out which tape feeder is malfunctioning. In other words, even if a tape feeder containing a malfunctioning reel cassette is identified by a server or management device, the operator can find and remove the malfunctioning tape feeder from among many tape feeders having the same shape. difficult.

In order to solve such a problem, the terminal device according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a terminal device for managing an object used for a mounting board production facility as a management object, and N (N is). An image acquisition unit that acquires an captured image generated by collectively capturing the recognition marks attached to each of the management objects (two or more integers), and the N that is projected on the captured image. Using the recognition mark of each of the management objects, the management object satisfying the predetermined conditions among the N management objects is specified as a specific unit for specifying the condition-matching object. At least a part of the captured image is image-processed and image-processed so that the condition-matching object is shown separately from the other controlled objects included in the N managed objects. It includes an image processing unit that displays the captured image on a display. For example, the image processing unit performs a process of emphasizing a portion of the captured image on which the condition-matching object or the recognition mark attached to the condition-matching object is projected. You may go as. Specifically, the image processing unit emphasizes the portion of the captured image by superimposing an indicator on the portion of the captured image on which the recognition mark attached to the condition-matching object is projected. May be good.

As a result, when the operator holds the camera over the N recognition marks and images the recognition marks at once, the captured image is a management target such as a tape feeder that satisfies the predetermined conditions. At least part of the object is highlighted by, for example, an indicator. Therefore, if the condition is not good, for example, the worker can easily find the bad management object in the captured image, and the management burden on the worker can be reduced. If a light source such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) is attached to each managed object and the LED of the malfunctioned managed object is turned on, the operator can easily find the malfunctioned controlled object. .. However, in this case, it is necessary to install the LED at a high cost, complicate the structure of the controlled object, and keep the production equipment including the controlled object online. However, in the terminal device according to one aspect of the present disclosure, it is not necessary to attach a light source to each controlled object. Therefore, the cost and structural complexity of the controlled object can be suppressed, and the operator can easily find the malfunctioned controlled object even when the production equipment or the like is offline. The predetermined condition may be a condition other than the malfunction, or may be an arbitrary condition defined by the operator.

Further, in the identification of the condition-matching object, the specific unit refers to each of the M control objects (M is an integer of 1 or more) that satisfy the condition from the recognition mark attached to the control object. With reference to the table showing the derived recognition information, among the N managed objects, the managed object having the recognition mark corresponding to the recognition information shown in the table is selected as the condition-matching object. May be specified as.

As a result, if the terminal device holds the above-mentioned table in advance, the condition-matching object can be specified without communicating with a device other than the terminal device. Therefore, the terminal device can appropriately identify the object that meets the conditions even in a place where the communication environment is insufficient.

Further, the table further shows object identification information for identifying the managed object for each of the M managed objects satisfying the above conditions, and the image processing unit is further shown in the table. The object identification information of each of the M managed objects may be displayed on the display.

As a result, the object identification information of at least one managed object satisfying a predetermined condition is displayed, so that the operator can easily select the desired controlled object by looking at the object identification information. Can be grasped.

Further, in the identification of the condition-matching object, the specific unit transmits to the server the recognition information derived from the recognition mark of each of the N management objects displayed on the captured image. Of the N transmitted recognition information, the recognition information selected by the server is received from the server, and the recognition mark corresponding to the received recognition information among the N management objects is received. The controlled object marked with is may be specified as the object that meets the above conditions.

As a result, the terminal device recognizes the N recognition information derived from the captured image by inquiring to the server even if it does not know the recognition information corresponding to the management object satisfying the predetermined condition. Information can be identified. That is, even if the terminal device does not have a function of directly specifying a condition-matching object that is a management object that satisfies a predetermined condition, the condition-matching object can be specified by inquiring to the server. Can be done. Therefore, the resources and functions of the terminal device can be suppressed.

Further, the production facility may be at least one of a component mounting device, a printing device, an inspection device, and a reflow device.

As a result, it is possible to reduce the management burden on the operator for the objects used in each of the component mounting device, the printing device, the inspection device, and the reflow device.

Further, each of the N managed objects may be a feeder that supplies components mounted on the substrate.

As a result, it is possible to reduce the management burden on the feeder (for example, the tape feeder).

Further, the predetermined conditions are that the controlled object is malfunctioning, that the controlled object is set to be prohibited from use, or that a warning is set for the use of the controlled object. It may be.

Further, the management system according to one aspect of the present disclosure is a management system for managing an object used for a mounting board production facility as a management object, and comprises a terminal device and a server that communicates with the terminal device. In preparation, for each of the plurality of managed objects, whether the server satisfies the recognition information derived from the recognition mark attached to the managed object and the state of the managed object satisfies predetermined conditions. It holds a management table that directly or indirectly associates status information indicating whether or not with it, and the terminal device is attached to each of N management objects (N is an integer of 2 or more). The image acquisition unit that acquires the captured image generated by collectively capturing the recognition marks, the recognition marks of the N management objects displayed on the captured image, and the server. Based on the management table of the above, the specific unit that specifies the management object that satisfies the condition among the N management objects as the condition-matching object, and the specified condition-matching object are the said. An image in which at least a part of the captured image is subjected to image processing and the image-processed captured image is displayed on a display so as to be distinguished from other managed objects included in the N managed objects. It has a processing unit.

Thereby, for example, even if the management table is updated at any time, the terminal device can identify an appropriate condition-matching object based on the latest management table. As a result, the worker can easily find an object that meets the appropriate conditions in the captured image displayed on the terminal device, and can reduce the management burden on the worker.

It should be noted that these comprehensive or specific embodiments may be realized in recording media such as methods, integrated circuits, computer programs or computer readable CD-ROMs, systems, methods, integrated circuits, computer programs or recordings. It may be realized by any combination of media. Further, the recording medium may be a non-temporary recording medium.

It holds a management table that directly or indirectly associates status information indicating whether or not it is present.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the second association table T2 held in the terminal storage unit 108.

The second association table T2 shows a part of the information contained in the first association table T1. That is, the second association table T2 associates some of the feeder identification information among the plurality of feeder identification information shown in the first association table T1 with the feeder identification information and the feeder identification information. Indicates the identification code. Each of all the feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2 is information for identifying the tape feeder 7 (that is, the above-mentioned condition-matching feeder) that satisfies the predetermined condition. That is, in the present embodiment, each feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2 is the identification information of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in the second association table T2, the feeder identification information “F0002” of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 and the recognition code “F0002” of the recognition mark Mk attached to the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 “. It is shown in association with "C0301".

The specifying unit 104 of the terminal device 100 in the present embodiment refers to such a second association table T2 in specifying the condition-matching feeder. Then, the specific unit 104 uses the tape feeder 7 having the recognition mark Mk corresponding to the recognition code shown in the second association table T2 among the N tape feeders 7 to be managed. Specify as a condition-matching feeder.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display 107 of the terminal device 100.

First, the terminal control unit 105 of the terminal device 100 activates the imaging unit 101, and causes the imaging unit 101 to start imaging. The captured image generated by this imaging is acquired by the image acquisition unit 102 and displayed on the display 107 by the image processing unit 106. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9A, the image processing unit 106 displays, for example, a message "Please hold over the recognition mark" and a button Bn1 marked "Complete" on the display 107.

According to the message, the operator holds the image pickup unit 101 of the terminal device 100 over the recognition marks Mk attached to each of the plurality of tape feeders 7. As a result, the imaging unit 101 collectively images the recognition marks Mk of the plurality of tape feeders 7.

The identification unit 104 derives a recognition code from each of the plurality of recognition marks Mk by decoding each of the plurality of recognition marks Mk displayed on the captured image generated by the imaging. Then, the specific unit 104 refers to the second association table T2 stored in the terminal storage unit 108, and is included in the second association table T2 among each of the derived recognition codes. Identify the identification code. The tape feeder 7 to which the recognition mark Mk indicating the specified recognition code is attached is the above-mentioned condition-matching feeder. Therefore, the identification unit 104 identifies the above-mentioned condition-matching feeder by specifying the above-mentioned recognition code. That is, the specifying unit 104 specifies the tape feeder 7 that satisfies the predetermined condition as the condition-matching feeder among the plurality of tape feeders 7 projected on the captured image. If the condition is, for example, that the state of the tape feeder 7 is not good, the specific unit 104 uses the bad tape feeder 7 as the condition-matching feeder among the plurality of tape feeders 7 projected on the captured image. Identify.

Then, the image processing unit 106 finds out the recognition mark Mk indicating the recognition code of the specified condition matching feeder from the captured image, and as shown in FIG. 9A, finds out the recognition mark Mk. The surrounding rectangular frame-shaped indicator In is superimposed on the captured image. The image processing unit 106 displays the captured image on which the indicator In is superimposed on the display 107 in this way.

In this way, when the operator holds the imaging unit 101 of the terminal device 100 over the plurality of recognition marks Mk and collectively images the recognition marks Mk, the indicator In is displayed on the captured image. That is, at least a part of the tape feeder 7 satisfying the predetermined conditions, that is, the malfunctioning tape feeder 7, is highlighted by the indicator In. Therefore, the operator can easily find the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 by looking at the captured image, and can reduce the management burden on the operator.

If a light source such as an LED is attached to each tape feeder 7 and the LED of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 is turned on, the operator can easily find the malfunctioning tape feeder 7. However, in this case, it is necessary to install the LED at a high cost, the structure of the tape feeder 7 to be complicated, and the production equipment including the tape feeder 7 to be kept online. However, in the terminal device 100 of the present embodiment, it is not necessary to attach such a light source. Therefore, the cost and structural complexity of the tape feeder 7 can be suppressed, and the operator can easily find the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 even when the production equipment or the like is offline.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, a process of emphasizing the portion of the captured image in which the recognition mark Mk attached to the condition matching feeder is projected is performed as image processing, but the emphasized portion is a condition. It may be the part where the matching feeder is projected. Further, if the specified condition-matching feeder is a process that is shown separately from the other tape feeder 7, a process other than the process of emphasizing the above-mentioned portion may be performed as an image process. For example, a process may be performed to make the above-mentioned part darker or less clear than other parts. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 9, a rectangular frame-shaped indicator In is superimposed as a process for emphasizing the above-mentioned portion, but an indicator In having another shape may be superimposed. For example, the condition-matching feeder or the arrow pointing to the recognition mark Mk attached to the condition-matching feeder may be superimposed as the indicator In. Further, as a process of emphasizing the above-mentioned portion, the color difference or the brightness of the portion may be changed. Further, the image processing unit 106 may superimpose the indicator In and further perform pop-up display. That is, the image processing unit 106 may display a window on the display 107 stating "There is a malfunction or malfunction feeder".

Here, when the operator touches the button Bn1 displayed on the display 107, the input operation unit 103 accepts an operation for the button Bn1 and outputs a signal indicating the operation to the terminal control unit 105. When the terminal control unit 105 acquires the signal, the terminal control unit 105 stops the image pickup by the image pickup unit 101, and causes the image processing unit 106 to switch the screen. As a result, the image processing unit 106 displays the search screen of the tape feeder 7 on the display 107 as shown in FIG. 9B.

Specifically, the image processing unit 106 refers to the second association table T2 stored in the terminal storage unit 108, and the image panel Pn1 of each feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2. Is displayed on the display 107 in a scrollable manner. The image panel Pn1 has, for example, a horizontally long quadrangular shape, and the feeder identification information is written on the image panel Pn1.

That is, in the second association table T2 in the present embodiment, for each of the M tape feeders 7 satisfying the predetermined conditions, the feeder identification information for identifying the tape feeder 7 is the object identification information. Shown as. Then, the image processing unit 106 displays the feeder identification information of each of the M tape feeders 7 shown in the second association table T2 on the display 107.

As a result, the feeder identification information of at least one tape feeder 7 satisfying the predetermined conditions is displayed, so that the operator can easily grasp the desired tape feeder 7 by looking at the feeder identification information. be able to. If the condition is not good, the operator can easily grasp the list of the tape feeders 7 that are not good.

Further, the image processing unit 106 displays, for example, the button Bn2 described as "recognition mark reading", the search window Wi1, and the button Bn3 described as, for example, "search" on the display 107. When the operator inputs the feeder identification information into the search window Wi1 by operating the input operation unit 103 and touches the button Bn3, the input operation unit 103 receives an instruction to search the input feeder identification information, and the input operation unit 103 receives the instruction for searching the input feeder identification information. The instruction is notified to the terminal control unit 105. As a result, the terminal control unit 105 searches the feeder identification information to be searched from the second association table T2. Then, the image processing unit 106 highlights the image panel Pn1 on which the searched feeder identification information is displayed on the display 107. For example, the image processing unit 106 causes the color of the image panel Pn1 to be processed to be different from that of another image panel Pn1, or by blinking the image panel Pn1 to be processed, the image panel Pn1 to be processed. May be highlighted.

Further, when the operator touches the button Bn2 marked as "recognition mark reading", the input operation unit 103 receives an operation corresponding to the button Bn2 and outputs a signal indicating the operation to the terminal control unit 105. As a result, the terminal control unit 105 activates the imaging unit 101. Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, the image processing unit 106 displays the captured image generated by the imaging by the imaging unit 101 on the display 1.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another example displayed on the display 107.

The second correspondence table T2 in the present embodiment shows the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 with the feeder identification information and the recognition code of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7, but also other information regarding the malfunctioning tape feeder 7. It may be shown. For example, other information may be read date / time, model name, width information, creation date / time, operation record, operation record start date, and the like.

Specifically, when the operator taps any of the image panels Pn1 included in the search screen shown in FIG. 9B, the input operation unit 103 accepts the operation for the tapped image panel Pn1. A signal indicating the operation is output. Based on the signal, the image processing unit 106 displays on the display 107 the information regarding the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 corresponding to the tapped image panel Pn1 among the information shown by the second association table T2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, the image processing unit 106 not only has the feeder identification information and the recognition code of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7, but also the reading date / time, the model name, the width information, the creation date / time, the operation record, and the operation record. The operation record start date is also displayed.

The reading date and time is, for example, the date and time when the recognition mark Mk of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 is read by imaging by the imaging unit 101. The model name is the model name of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7. The width information is information indicating the width of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7. The creation date and time is the date and time when the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 was manufactured, or the date and time when the information about the tape feeder 7 was generated. The operation record indicates whether or not the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 has been operated, and the operation record start date indicates the date when the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 has started operation.

As described above, in the example shown in FIG. 10, since the detailed information of the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 is displayed on the display 107, the operator can manage the tape feeder 7 more appropriately.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of processing operations of the terminal device 100 and the server 200.

First, the server control unit 201 of the server 200 refers to the state management table T3 stored in the server storage unit 202 (step S201), and searches for the feeder identification information associated with the malfunction state (step S202). .. Further, the server control unit 201 refers to the first association table T1 stored in the server storage unit 202 (step S203), and obtains a recognition code associated with the feeder identification information searched in step S202. Identify (step S204). Here, if a plurality of feeder identification information is searched in step S202, the recognition code associated with the feeder identification information is specified for each of the plurality of feeder identification information. In other words, for each malfunctioning tape feeder 7, the feeder identification information and the recognition code corresponding to the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 are searched or specified.

Then, the server control unit 201 transmits the feeder identification information searched in step S202 and the recognition code identified in step S204 to the terminal device 100 via the server communication unit 203. That is, the server control unit 201 transmits the feeder identification information and the recognition code corresponding to the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 to the terminal device 100 for each malfunctioning tape feeder 7.

Next, the terminal control unit 105 of the terminal device 100 acquires the feeder identification information and the recognition code corresponding to the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 from the server 200 via the terminal communication unit 109. As a result, the terminal control unit 105 updates the second association table T2 stored in the terminal storage unit 108 (step S101). That is, the terminal control unit 105 updates the second association table T2 by including the feeder identification information and the recognition code acquired from the server 200 in the second association table T2. When the second association table T2 is not stored in the terminal storage unit 108, the terminal control unit 105 shows the feeder identification information acquired from the server 200 and the recognition code in association with each other. The correspondence table T2 of 2 is newly generated.

Then, the imaging unit 101 of the terminal device 100 collectively images the recognition marks Mk attached to each of the plurality of tape feeders 7 (step S102). By this imaging, the image acquisition unit 102 acquires the captured image (step S103).

Next, the specific unit 104 derives a recognition code from each of the plurality of recognition marks displayed on the captured image (step S104). Then, the identification unit 104 identifies the tape feeder 7 corresponding to the recognition code included in the second association table T2 among the derived recognition codes as the condition matching feeder (step S105).

After that, the image processing unit 106 superimposes the indicator In on the recognition mark Mk attached to the condition matching feeder in the captured image (step S106). Then, the image processing unit 106 displays the captured image on which the indicator In is superimposed on the display 107 (step S107).

As described above, if the terminal device 100 in the present embodiment updates or generates and holds the second association table T2 in step S101, the condition is that the server 200 is not accessed every time an image is taken. The matching feeder can be properly identified. That is, the terminal device 100 can superimpose the indicator In at an appropriate position in the captured image. Therefore, the terminal device 100 can display the captured image on which the indicator In is appropriately superimposed even in a place where the communication environment is insufficient.

Here, for example, when the terminal device 100 can always communicate with the server 200, that is, when the communication environment is sufficiently prepared, the terminal device 100 communicates with the server 200 every time a plurality of recognition marks Mk are imaged. You may. Then, the terminal device 100 may superimpose the indicator In on the captured image based on the communication result.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing another example of the processing operation of the terminal device 100 and the server 200. Of the steps shown in FIG. 12, the steps in which the same processing as the steps shown in FIG. 11 are performed are designated by the same reference numerals as the steps shown in FIG. 11, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the processing operation shown in FIG. 12, the terminal device 100 communicates with the server 200 each time a plurality of recognition marks Mk are imaged, and superimposes the indicator In on the image captured image based on the communication result.

Specifically, first, the imaging unit 101 of the terminal device 100 collectively images the recognition marks Mk attached to the plurality of tape feeders 7 (step S102). By this imaging, the image acquisition unit 102 acquires the captured image (step S103). Then, the specific unit 104 derives a recognition code from each of the plurality of recognition marks displayed on the captured image (step S104). After that, the identification unit 104 transmits the derived recognition codes to the server 200 via the terminal communication unit 109 (step S111).

The server 200 receives a plurality of recognition codes transmitted from the terminal device 100. That is, the server communication unit 203 of the server 200 receives a plurality of recognition codes transmitted from the terminal communication unit 109. When the plurality of recognition codes are received by the server communication unit 203 in this way, the server control unit 201 refers to the first association table T1 (step S203). Then, the server control unit 201 searches the first association table T1 for the feeder identification information associated with each of the plurality of received recognition codes (step S211).

Next, the server control unit 201 refers to the state management table T3 (step S201), and identifies the state associated with each of the plurality of feeder identification information searched in step S211 (step S212). Then, the server control unit 201 identifies the feeder identification information associated with the malfunctioning state among those identified states (step S213). Next, the server control unit 201 transmits the feeder identification information identified in step S213 and the recognition code associated with the feeder identification information to the terminal device 100 via the server communication unit 203. That is, among the plurality of tape feeders 7 displayed on the captured image, the feeder identification information and the recognition code corresponding to the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 are transmitted to the terminal device 100.

The terminal device 100 receives the feeder identification information and the recognition code corresponding to the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 transmitted from the server 200. That is, the specific unit 104 of the terminal device 100 receives the feeder identification information and the recognition code transmitted from the server communication unit 203 via the terminal communication unit 109. When the feeder identification information and the recognition code are received in this way, the identification unit 104 identifies the tape feeder 7 corresponding to the received feeder identification information and the recognition code as a condition-matching feeder (step S112). That is, the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 is identified.

After that, the image processing unit 106 superimposes the indicator In on the recognition mark Mk attached to the condition matching feeder in the captured image (step S106). Then, the image processing unit 106 displays the captured image on which the indicator In is superimposed on the display 107 (step S107).

As described above, in the example shown in FIG. 12, the identification unit 104 of the terminal device 100 is first derived from the recognition marks Mk of each of the N tape feeders 7 projected on the captured image in the identification of the condition-matching feeder. The recognition code to be generated is transmitted to the server 200. Next, the identification unit 104 receives the recognition code selected by the server 200 from the N server transmission codes from the server 200. Then, the identification unit 104 identifies the tape feeder 7 to which the recognition mark Mk corresponding to the received recognition code is attached as the condition matching feeder among the N tape feeders 7.

As a result, the terminal device 100 can inquire the server 200 even if it does not know the recognition code corresponding to the tape feeder 7 that satisfies the predetermined condition among the N recognition codes derived from the captured image. The recognition code can be specified. That is, even if the terminal device 100 does not have a function of directly specifying the condition-matching feeder that is the tape feeder 7 that satisfies the predetermined condition, the condition-matching feeder can be specified by inquiring to the server. it can. Therefore, the resources and functions of the terminal device 100 can be suppressed. That is, the terminal device 100 does not need to hold the second association table T2, and the memory capacity of the terminal storage unit 108 can be reduced.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the terminal device 100 performs image processing such as superimposition of the indicator In on the captured image. As a result, the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 among the plurality of tape feeders 7 projected on the captured image is shown separately from the other tape feeders 7. Therefore, the operator can easily find the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 among the plurality of tape feeders 7 to be managed used in the production equipment of the mounting substrate.

(Modification example)
In the above embodiment, an indicator In for distinguishing the malfunctioning tape feeder 7 displayed in the captured image from other tape feeders 7 is superimposed on the captured image. However, the terminal device 100 in the present disclosure may display the respective states of the plurality of tape feeders 7 projected on the captured image without superimposing such an indicator In on the captured image. For example, the condition may be "confirmed" or "unconfirmed" rather than "bad" or "good". “Confirmed” means a state in which the tape feeder 7 is imaged by the terminal device 100 and the tape feeder 7 displayed on the captured image has already been confirmed by the operator. On the contrary, "unconfirmed" means a state in which the tape feeder 7 has not been imaged by the terminal device 100 and the tape feeder 7 displayed in the captured image has not been confirmed by the operator.

Of the components of the terminal device 100 and the server 200 according to this modification, the same components as those in the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as those in the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. ..

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the second association table T2 according to the present modification.

The second association table T2 in this modification shows, for each of the plurality of tape feeders 7, the feeder identification information of the tape feeder 7, the recognition code, and the state in association with each other. For example, in the second association table T2, the feeder identification information “F0005”, the recognition code “C8302” of the recognition mark Mk attached to the tape feeder 7 having the feeder identification information, and the state of the tape feeder 7. It is shown in association with "unconfirmed".

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display 107 of the terminal device 100 according to the present modification.

First, the terminal control unit 105 of the terminal device 100 activates the imaging unit 101, and causes the imaging unit 101 to start imaging. The captured image generated by this imaging is acquired by the image acquisition unit 102 and displayed on the display 107 by the image processing unit 106. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14A, the image processing unit 106 displays, for example, a message "Please hold over the recognition mark" and a button Bn1 marked "Complete" on the display 107.

According to the message, the operator holds the image pickup unit 101 of the terminal device 100 over the recognition marks Mk attached to each of the plurality of tape feeders 7. As a result, the imaging unit 101 collectively images the recognition marks Mk of the plurality of tape feeders 7.

The identification unit 104 derives a recognition code from each of the plurality of recognition marks Mk by decoding each of the plurality of recognition marks Mk displayed on the captured image generated by the imaging. Here, in the present modification, the specifying unit 104 does not perform a process of specifying any recognition code from the derived recognition codes. Therefore, the indicator In is not displayed on the captured image as in the above embodiment.

Here, when the operator touches the button Bn1 displayed on the display 107, the input operation unit 103 accepts an operation for the button Bn1 and outputs a signal indicating the operation to the terminal control unit 105. When the terminal control unit 105 acquires the signal, the terminal control unit 105 stops the image pickup by the image pickup unit 101, and causes the image processing unit 106 to switch the screen. As a result, the image processing unit 106 displays the search screen of the tape feeder 7 on the display 107 as shown in FIG. 14B.

Specifically, the image processing unit 106 refers to the second association table T2 shown in FIG. 13, and scrolls the image panel Pn1 of each feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2 to the display 107. Display as possible. At this time, the image processing unit 106 switches the type of the image panel Pn1 displayed on the display 107 according to the switching tab selected by the operator. For example, when the switching tab Tb1 described as "all" is selected, the image processing unit 106 displays the image panel Pn1 corresponding to each of all the feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2. To do. Further, when the switching tab Tb2 displayed as "confirmed" is selected, the image processing unit 106 corresponds to the confirmed state among all the feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2. Only the image panel Pn1 of the attached feeder identification information is displayed. When the switching tab Tb3 displayed as "unconfirmed" is selected, the image processing unit 106 is associated with the unconfirmed state among all the feeder identification information shown in the second association table T2. Only the image panel Pn1 of the feeder identification information is displayed.

Here, when the switching tab Tb1 displayed as "all" is selected, each image panel Pn1 is not only the feeder identification information of the tape feeder 7, but also the feeder identification information thereof, as shown in FIG. 14 (b). The state of the tape feeder 7 is also shown. Specifically, when the state of the tape feeder 7 is "confirmed", the check box St1 with a check mark is included in the image panel Pn1. When the state of the tape feeder 7 is "unconfirmed", the icon St2 described as "unconfirmed" is included in the image panel Pn1.

Further, in the present modification as well, as in the above embodiment, the image processing unit 106 includes, for example, a button Bn2 described as "recognition mark reading", a search window Wi1, and a button Bn3 described as, for example, "search". May be displayed on the display 107.

FIG. 15 is a diagram showing another example displayed on the display 107 according to the present modification.

The second association table T2 according to this modification shows the feeder identification information, the recognition code, and the state of the tape feeder 7 for each of the plurality of tape feeders 7, but other information may also be shown. .. For example, other information may be location, model name, width information, creation date and time, operation record, operation record start date, and the like. Further, the state of the tape feeder 7 may be indicated as the date and time when the confirmation was performed (that is, the confirmation date and time) instead of "confirmed".

For example, when the operator taps any of the image panels Pn1 included in the search screen shown in FIG. 14 (b), the input operation unit 103 accepts an operation on the tapped image panel Pn1 and performs the operation. The indicated signal is output. Based on the signal, the image processing unit 106 displays on the display 107 the information regarding the tape feeder 7 corresponding to the tapped image panel Pn1 among the information shown by the second association table T2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 15, the image processing unit 106 not only has the feeder identification information, the recognition code, and the state of the tape feeder 7, but also the location, the model name, the width information, the creation date and time, the operation record, and the operation record. It also displays the start date.

The state of the tape feeder 7 is displayed as the above-mentioned confirmation date and time when the state is "confirmed", and is displayed as an icon written as "confirmed" when the state is "unconfirmed". May be good. For example, when the icon is touched by an operator, the status is updated to "confirmed".

As described above, in this modification, if the operator collectively captures a plurality of recognition marks Mk using the terminal device 100, the states of the plurality of tape feeders 7 to which the recognition marks Mk are attached are displayed. Will be done. Therefore, the operator can easily grasp the state of each of the plurality of tape feeders 7 to be managed used in the production equipment of the mounting board, and can reduce the management burden. Specifically, it is possible to reduce the management burden in inventory of a plurality of tape feeders 7.
